New Delhi, Aug 5 : Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday made it clear that he was not treated well in Pakistan, confirming that he skipped a lunch hosted by his counterpart during a meeting of Saarc ministers.
“It is true that Pakistan Interior Minister (Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan) invited everyone for lunch. But then he left in his car. I also left. I have no complaints or grudges as I had not gone there to have lunch,” Rajnath Singh told the Rajya Sabha.
The minister spoke a day after he returned after a two-day Pakistan visit during which he attended a meeting of interior ministers of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc).
The minister said the Indian media accompanying him was not allowed in when he was making the speech on terrorism at the conference.
“But as far as the reported blacking out of my speech is concerned, I am not aware of protocol norms followed during previous events. Will have to speak to the Ministry of External Affairs on that.”
He said he won’t comment if Pakistan was right or wrong in not allowing the coverage.
“I don’t know if it was a precedent. I cannot say anything about that. But they did whatever they could,”—IANS
Jumma Mubarak to all,
This is an insult to Muslim Hospitality.
They must have honored a guest though diplomatic difference exist
that India rejected the agreement of plebiscite on Kashmir
signed by their bygone PM Shastri in Tash Kent.
UNO now a dead duck on this issue.
People of Kashmir Seeking their right of self determination & under no circumstances are terrorists.
Bangladesh betrayed the unity of Pakistan & in the dark moment
defeated Pakistan with the conspiracy of India. Why these Bangladeshis are not called Terrorist.
Same applies to the People of Kashmir Freedom Fighter.
Pakistan on Monday had invited India for talks on Kashmir, saying it is the “international obligation” of both the countries to resolve the issue.
