A seminar on “Peace and Harmony” was organized by the Rotary Club of Islamabad Metropolitan, bringing together eminent personalities and community leaders to promote unity, coexistence, and harmony in Pakistan.
Addressing the seminar as a Chief Guest, Minister for Human Rights and Minority Affairs, Government of Punjab, Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora, emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to peace and its true image as a peace-loving nation. “It is our responsibility to highlight Pakistan’s true identity to the world,” he stated.
Sharing his observations about Sikh pilgrims who visited Pakistan recently, he said, “When these Sikh pilgrims were leaving Pakistan during their recent visit to Pakistan, they chanted slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ and expressed gratitude for the warmth and hospitality they received from the people of Pakistan.
