NEW DELHI: Celebrating the 800th birth anniversary of the great mystic poet Maulana Rumi, the Department of Persian at Jamia Millia Islamia is organising an international seminar here from Saturday.
The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sayed Mahdi Nabizadeh, will inaugurate the four-day seminar on “Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi: Messenger of Love, Peace and Unity”.
A number of delegates from various countries like Pakistan, Germany, France, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and other Central Asian countries would be taking part in the event.

His work and thought continue to have universal relevance even today,” said a Jamia spokesperson.
