Zardari On Chishty

President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to allow the release and repatriation on humanitarian grounds of Khalil Chishti, an 80-year-old Pakistani given a life sentence in India after being convicted for murder.

Describing Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's India visit as a trip "heavy on symbolism if not on substance", the US media today said his pilgrimage to the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer sent a message against Islamist extremism.

Caretakers of the Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti have planned special prayers and gifts, including finger rings studded with precious stones, for Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and his family when they come to offer prayers on Sunday at the revered shrine.

Focus will be on bilateral issues when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has a one-on-one meeting with Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, who is making a three-hour stopover in New Delhi tomorrow before flying to Ajmer to pay obeisance at the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, official sources have said.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi over lunch on April 8 before making a private visit to the famous 13th century Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at Ajmer.
