The only Punjabi ruler till today who ruled United Punjab and gave some dignity to the land and the people. No one in Punjab's history has ruled so wisely.

2/3 Punjab was given to Pakistan and 1/3 to India. there are many cultural links between these punjabs on both the side. Let every Sikh roam free in this area.

The only son of the soil to have ruled united Punjab for such a long time, while keeping both British and the warlords tribe from the north at bay.

Nawaz should walk through the mausoleum , it may diffuse some administrative skill. It is also a good political move.
