Won't assist Pak PM in prayers at dargah: Ajmer Sharif head

NEW DELHI: Ajmer Sharif spiritual head has said that he will not assist Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in offering prayers at the Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.

"It will be a dishonor to the families of the Indian soldiers who were beheaded by Pak army," Ajmer Sharif dargah dewan Zainul Abedin Ali Khan said.

"I have no idea why he (Pakistan PM) is coming here," Ajmer Sharif dargah dewan said.

Pakistan PM Raja Pervez Ashraf is scheduled to undertake a private visit to the Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at Ajmer on Saturday. He will not visit New Delhi, an official said on Thursday.

Raja Pervez Ashraf will be hosted for lunch by external affairs minister Salman Khurshid at the Hotel Rambag Palace in Ajmer on that day. "No substantive talks are scheduled" between the two sides, the external affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said at a news briefing.

The external affairs ministry is facilitating the day-long private visit of the Pakistan prime minister, he said.

Ashraf will be accompanied by members of his family and will arrive at Jaipur on March 9 morning and depart for Ajmer.

After completing his prayers, he will depart for Jaipur and take a special flight back to Islamabad that evening, the spokesperson said.

"He expressed a wish to visit Ajmer and we have abided by that desire. He will be extended due courtesies in accordance with diplomatic norms. All requirements that meet his needs are being met," he added.
