World Punjabi Congress Chairman Fakhar Zaman has returned to Lahore after six weeks stay in Europe where he delivered lectures at various universities and chaired four World Punjabi Conferences in Austria, Sweden and Estonia.
According to a press statement issued, Fakhar said that the declarations of sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth World Punjabi Conferences laid emphasis on the promotion of peace through spreading the messages of the Sufi saints and also through the promotion of neglected languages like Punjabi in Pakistan and Urdu in India.
To promote peace through Sufism the 20th World Punjabi Conference will be held in Rhodes Island, Greece, in July, which will be attended by 10 scholars each from Pakistan, and India.
He added that the 21st World Punjabi Conference will be held in Lahore later this year on 'Mysticism and Peace'.
