Five elderly men who went to Pak-occupied Kashmir to see their ancestral place were overwhelmed with the love they received on the other side of the border.
Yuvraj Gupa, Yashpal Gupta, Rajkumar Kohli, Shivdas Sahni and Kulbhushan Kumar were permitted by Pakistan government to visit their hometown. Wherever they went, the hospitality astonished them.
The leader of the group Yuvraj Gupta said, ‘We have learnt that the bond of language and culture is too strong. We had few words but tears did most of the talking for us”.
The group went to Mirpur, Kotli and Bhambher. Everywhere the residents were eager to invite them at their house. At Mirpur, people got so emotional that they offered land to construct their houses and live. In Kotli, the group was welcomed at the local mosque.
Yuvraj Gupta was asked to give a speech but he got so emotional that he couldn’t complete his speech. He wished to touch feet of a Sufi saint. They went to their schools where children welcomed them and sent message for Indian children.
