On this occasion, Deputy Speaker Rouri said the initiative of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann to bring these tableaux depicting the glorious history and heritage of Punjab in front of the people of Punjab was highly commendable. He said the history and culture of Punjab was unique and no one can underestimate it.
