CHANDIGARH, DEC.7 .The Chief Ministers of Pakistan's Punjab province, Parvez Elahi, and the Haryana Chief Minister, Om Prakash Chautala, have called for relaxing visa restrictions between India and Pakistan. Speaking at a function at Gurgaon today, Mr.Elahi hoped that the peace initiatives taken by people of both the countries would continue and culminate in eternal peace.He opined that the difficult phase between the two countries was now over. "As greater issues concerning the well-being of the people on both sides of the border need to be addressed urgently, it is imperative for the political leadership to come together and work for the common goal,'' he added. He said that Haryana and Pakistan could share their experiences even in agriculture to usher a new era of prosperity. During his meeting with the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, he had urged him that a bus service be started between Amritsar and Lahore.
