New Delhi, Mar. 8 (ANI): External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, who won't have substantive talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, on Friday said that he would be receiving the visiting dignitary on his private visit to Ajmer Sharif tomorrow as a courtesy.
"This is a private visit. I will be there briefly just to extend the courtesy of receiving him, that's all," he told media here.
Khurshid had earlier on Wednesday ruled out any diplomatic talks with the visiting Pakistani Prime Minister.
" He is going to Ajmer for ziyarat (to offer prayers). He will go directly to Ajmer, and most probably the Governor there will welcome him. There is no other programme apart from that and I don't have any knowledge about it," he said.
The Pakistani Prime Minister will be visiting India on a private visit for a day-long pilgrimage to the Sufi Shrine of Ajmer Sharif.
Ashraf, who will be accompanied by his family members, will not be visiting New Delhi. (ANI)
