Both Ansari and Bajwa said that with the permission of

respective governments, the two Clubs would also like to sponsor young scribes to study in each other's country, so that they learn about the ground realities and can convey the "true picture" to the people. Ansari said that the Pakistani people were hospitable and warm and added that the people should explore the country more, as it has lot to offer. "Contrary to the perception that the whole of Pakistan faces terrorism problem and security issues, I would like to say that to brand the entire country as some no-go zone, would grossly be incorrect and unfair," Ansari said. While commenting on the recent beheading of an Indian soldier along the LoC, Ansari termed the incident as "minor one" and said the media and governments on either side should not highlight this much as it has negative fallout on the relations. Ansari lamented that "though the two governments announced visa on arrival policy for 65 year-old or above citizens, yet three months hence, it has not been implemented on ground". Haryana's Finance minister HS Chatha, who was the chief guest on the occasion, emotionally recalled his childhood days spent in Pakistan and termed these as his "best days". Chatha also said that people from Punjab on both sides of the border, speak the same language and have close resemblances. "Despite so many commonalities, there are some vested elements who try to create obstacles in the peace process and media can play a crucial role to keep the people updated about the real picture," he added.
