LAHORE:
The people of Pakistan and India have realised that war is not a solution and that dialogue is the only effective way to settle bilateral disputes.
Former federal information minister and MNA, Qamar Zaman Kaira stated this while talking to the media on his return with a 20-member parliamentary delegation from India at the Allama Iqbal International Airport here on Saturday.
Kaira told journalists that Pakistan’s parliamentary delegation had visited India on a goodwill gesture.
“On reaching India, we were glad to know that people and politicians of India also want stable relations with their neighbouring Pakistan,” he added.
He said the India’s parliamentarians had formed Indo-Pak Friendship Forum, asserting that the Pakistani legislators would soon constitute such a joint platform at Senate and National Assembly level, and invite the Indian parliamentarians to visit Pakistan too.
