On occasion of Holi, I extend my best wishes to the people of Pakistan so that we the citizens of both the countries can live blissfully and peacefully. It is heartening to know that Pakistani top leaders wished Hindu people on this auspicious occasion. If we have good relation then no other foreign countries can beat us in the field of development. In this region we have plenty of all types of natural and other resources. The human resources in general in both the countries are at the top level.

@Zak, bhai this isn't a contest. We should aspire for better relations based on kindness, trust, honesty and equality. Just as our religion teaches us. The West has adopted these traits. We have alot of catching up to do.
