LAHORE, Feb 1: PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said on Sunday that he would visit India with a parliamentary delegation in April this year. He was talking to newsmen before leaving for his home town Gujrat where he would celebrate Eidul Azha.

In his message, the PML-Q chief said: "with the spirit of sacrifice, we can get resolved many problems." He called upon the people to follow Sunnat-i-Ibrahimi in its true letter and spirit. "We should pledge to render every sacrifice for the nation, country and the religion.

Chaudhry Shujaat has also called upon all the politicians, ulema and others to shun all differences, showing a great spirit of sacrifice and demonstrate for unity and oneness. He said the non-Muslims should also be included in the Eid's happiness.-APP
