Iranian delegation visits PU

A delegation of Iranian Province Khorasan Razvi, led by Governor Dr Mahmoud Salahi, visited the Punjab University and met Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Mujahid Kamran and senior faculty members in the Al-Raazi Hall of Center for Undergraduate Studies. Iranian Counsel General Muhammad Hussain Bani Asadi also accompanied the delegation.
Governor Khorasan Dr Mahmoud Salahi said Pakistan, Iran and Turkey were three strong countries and others were also of much importance. The destruction of Afghanistan was our destruction whereas Muslims and all the human beings are the creatures of Almighty Allah. He said big powers always created problems for the people and imposed wars. Unity was the most important thing for us in the present era to ouster the enemy from the region, he added.
He said all the countries should focus on their own development and not interfere in others' internal affairs. He said Islam was the religion of peace and harmony. While expressing his views about the visit, he said Punjab province and Lahore were known due to knowledge and culture. He said Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah were two great personalities and he had the wish to offer Fateha at Iqbal's mausoleum for 26 years. His poetry, a pride for human being, was addressed to the people of all periods. He said CM Punjab Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif had great love for people and he used to work till late night and saved the lives of the poor by visiting flooded areas.
Speaking on the occasion, VC Dr Mujahid Kamran said Turkey, Pakistan and Iran were the ray of hope and they can, with the help of Afghan people, face the challenge of world powers. These countries should put their nations on a course of education. He said the defeat of America and abolishment of the hold of rich families was possible if these countries promote relations with Russia and China and help Afghan people. In the end, souvenirs were presented to the honourable guest, while Governor Khorasan presented a gift of "Shahnama-e-Firdowsi" to the Vice Chancellor. Later the delegation visited Iranian Section of PU Main Library and announced gift of books worth 50 lakh Taman.
