LAHORE, July 29: A 100-member Indian delegation will come to Pakistan to attend Baba Bulleh Shah's Urs in Kasur. This was stated by PPP MNA Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmad at a press conference here on Thursday.

He along with two other PPP MNAs - Zulfikar Gondal and Shakeela Rasheed - had visited India to attend a seminar on Peace Process - Prospects and Challenges at Amritsar. Mr Ahmad said Nirmala Desh Pandhay and Hir Kishan Singh would lead the delegation. A three-day convention of South Asian Parliamentary Forum would be held in Islamabad in the last week of November.

Delegates from all Saarc states would attend the convention to devise a format for further cooperation among the member states, he said. To promote contact between Pakistani and Indian parliamentarians a cricket match would also be organized during the current year.

Both the sides would be led by Imran Khan and Kirti Azad, respectively, he said. Mr Ahmad said both the neighbouring states would exchange inter-faith delegations in the first week of September.
