  "account": "The Chief Minister of Indian Punjab, Bhagwant Singh Mann, has been informed that he has been invited to participate in the World Punjabi Conference in Lahore on November 27. The news was conveyed to Mann during a session in the Punjab Assembly. He mentioned that the conference organizers had reached out to him, extending an invitation and offering to accommodate him. However, Mann expressed uncertainty regarding the approval process for such an international trip, pointing out that the Indian government had previously denied him permission to visit countries like France and Japan.\n\nDespite his apprehensions about obtaining travel clearance, Mann was eager to attend the event. He emphasized the common cultural heritage between India and Pakistan, noting that poets and other participants would journey to Lahore. \"Our culture is the same. Our poets and others will go to Lahore. I also want to go,\" he stated. When the speaker of the Punjab Assembly inquired about whether he would bring other assembly members on the trip if Mann received permission, Mann responded by expressing his desire for everyone to visit Kartarpur. While confirming the invitation and his interest in attending the conference, Mann did not confirm whether he would actually go or not.",
