Afghan media delegation visits PU

OUR STAFF REPORTER LAHORE - An eight-member media delegation of Afghanistan visited the Punjab University here on Friday. Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran, along with other senior faculty members, welcomed the delegation at the Centre for Undergraduate Studies. Talking to the delegation, the VC said that the hearts of the Pakistani nation throbbed in unison with those of the Afghans. He stated that Afghanistan and Pakistan were inseparable and that Afghanistan was the heart beat, not just of Asia, but the entire world where a battle for the future of mankind was being fought. He stated that the policies of the great powers were not controlled by the people but by a highly powerful cabal of rich families. He said these families had divided mankind through repeated deceptions and now wanted a war on the basis of artificially contrived terrorism versus civilization conflict. The very same families had funded the Bolshevik Revolution and Hitler simultaneously and had, subsequent to WW-II duped mankind into the Communism versus Democracy conflict. The leader of the Afghan delegation thanked the PU administration for its warm hospitality and said that it had become quite clear to the delegation that the academic understood Afghanistan very well. All Afghan speakers, including Sardar Muhammad Rahimi, Fazal Elahi Shafiqi, Naseem Pashtoom, Muhammad Reza Hawrda, Ghulam Jilani Zwak, Noor Rehman Ikhaliqi, Fazal Rahman Mazhary and Saqib Ahmad, expressed their great happiness at the comprehension of the Afghan situation in the Punjab University. The VC offered 5 scholarships to Afghan students to come to study at PU. The meeting unanimously resolved to promote knowledge of nature among Afghans and Pakistanis through a cooperative effort.
