NEW DELHI, DEC. 20. Parliament today greeted with thumping of desks a visiting Pakistani parliamentary delegation which visited both the Houses and watched the proceedings. In Lok Sabha, the Speaker, Somnath Chatterjee, welcomed the Pakistan National Assembly delegation, led by the Speaker, Amir Hussain. He wished the delegation members a happy stay in India and fruitful interaction with their Indian counterparts. Proceedings in the Rajya Sabha livened up after the Deputy Chairman, K. Rahman Khan, welcomed the delegation during Question Hour and expressed the hope that the visit would further strengthen the Indo-Pakistan bilateral relations. Members who were seeking replies from the Commerce Minister, Kamal Nath, on Indo-Pakistan trade relations, began interspersing their supplementaries with poetry prompting the Deputy Chairman to conclude the session by ruling that there be "no sher-shairi." Mr. Kamal Nath said during the SAARC meeting of Commerce Ministers, India and Pakistan had agreed to set up a Joint Study Group which would give a road map for economic cooperation on trade, services and infrastructure between the two countries.
