Jaipur/New Delhi: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf arrived in
India on Saturday for a day-long pilgrimage.
Ashraf made a private visit to the shrine of a famous Sufi
Muslim saint in India’s north-western state of Rajasthan.
According to officials, the visit was mean to be a purely
religious trip, however, India’s External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid did
try to woo the visiting dignitary by hosting a luncheon for him.
Ashraf’s visit comes around two months after ceasefire
violations on the Line of Control that led to the heightened tensions between
the two neighbors.
