Sri Sri Ravi Sankar visits Pakistan
Attari, March 12 During the three-day visit, he is slated to have talks with top leaders and religious heads of Pakistan on various issues. He will also stress on strengthening the people to people contact between the two South Asian countries. Besides visiting places of religious significance, including Badshahi mosque, he would be inaugurating an Art of Living centre in the presence of Dr Paul Bhatti, advisor to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. Interacting with the media before embarking on the peace mission, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said he was going to Pakistan with a message of peace. “Had we spent only one-tenth of the money that has already been used to fight wars, we would have created a peaceful and more prosperous South Asian region,” said Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. When asked about the forcible conversion of Hindu girls in Pakistan, he said he would interact with Pakistani religious leaders in this regard and would urge them to help in spreading awareness. He said it is man’s fundamental right to maintain his religious beliefs. This is the second visit of the spiritual leader in Pakistan. Earlier, he had visited in year 2004. He had inaugurated an Art of Living's stress elimination programme as well as humanitarian service initiatives. The spiritual leader would also hold talks with business leaders, academicians, spiritual leaders, student organisations and opinion leaders to strengthen collaborative efforts between the two countries.

Negligence claims newborn boy’s life
Fatehgarh Sahib, March 12 He said that his wife Gurdeep Kaur had come to her parent's house at Bhamarsi Buland village in Fatehgarh Sahib to deliver the first child. He said that on Saturday night doctors got her admitted for delivery. At about 1.30 pm on Monday when his wife developed labour pains, they requested the lady doctor to come to attend her. But despite repeated requests, the doctor did not come and instead, continued to instruct the nurse on duty on mobile photo. He said the nursing staff informed that his wife had delivered a normal boy. But after some time nurses said that mother was recovering, but the baby was critical and asked us to take him to some private hospital. He said they took the child to Sandhu Nursing Home, where he was declared brought dead. Later, MLA Kuljeet Nagra along with villagers met the DC and brought the matter to his notice. |
