Gurbhajan Singh Gill, chairman of the Punjabi Virasat Lok Academy, said the conference paved the way for the translation of Gurmukhi books into Shahmukhi, which would result in mutual love and harmony among the people.

He credited Satinder Noor, Harwinder Singh Hanspal, Ajmer Aulakh, Principal Sarwan Singh, Variam and Fakhar Zaman for working to build bridges between the natives of both states.

Fakhar Zaman, chairman of the World Punjabi Conference, who was a minister in the Benazir Bhutto government, said Punjabi language suffered more at the hands of its own speakers than outsiders. He said the conference succeeded in bringing together Punjabis living all over the world under one roof.

A 65-member delegation from India crossed over to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah check-post on January 18.
