Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Sherry Rehman has said that all the great nations can take the world to a future of prosperity.
Speaking on leadership, terrorism, inequality and education during the three-day World Cultural Festival organised by the Art of Living in New Delhi, the PPP leader sought to spread peace and love.
She said the cultural extravaganza could prove a linkage to peace and harmony.
Including a 100-member delegation from Pakistan, the Art of Living events drew people from 155 countries across the globe.
Besides Sherry Rehman, Mufti Muhammad Saeed Khan and MNA Muhammad Uzair Khan also spoke at the forums and received immense appreaciation. The response from the people of India was incredible as they gave Pakistani delegates standing ovations whenever they entered the venues with the national flag.
One of the delegates Pakistan Today talked to termed the World Cultural Festival a successful event, and said it was a journey of love, friendship and peace. He said they received a heart-warming response, adding that the Indian audiences were raising slogans of Pakistan Zindabad (Long Live Pakistan).
Prominent dignitaries at the event were former French prime minister Dominique de Villepin, Nepalese Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa, Vice-President of Suriname Ashwin Adhin and Speaker of Sri Lankan Parliament Karu Jayasuriya.
”This event is a bond between us (India and Pakistan). If there are a few steps which take us back, then there are a few steps like this (the event) which take us forward,” Zafarullah Khan, a Peshawar resident, said of the event.
