Romanian envoy visits Iqbal Manzil
SIALKOT, June 9: Romanian ambassador Prof Dr Emil Ghitulescu, who authored two books on Allama Muhammad Iqbal, on Monday visited Iqbal Manzil, the birth place of the poet, amid tight security.
Later, during an informal talk with journalists at a local hotel Dr Ghitulescu said Iqbal’s message — love, peace and unity — was universal and guided the whole world to make efforts for peace.
He said: “Iqbal advises us not to ignore the reverence and respect of the man in the quest of the best. Self respect and self-reliance is the way of life for Allama Iqbal.”
Dr Ghitulescu gifted his books to journalists.
