New Delhi:
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari arrived Sunday morning in the
Indian capital on a six-hour visit that has raised a lot of
expectations in the subcontinent despite the fact that it is being
labelled as a private visit.
During the short visit he will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
before visiting the famous Ajmer dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti
that draws people from all over the world.
Zardari's plane touched down at the Indira Gandhi International
Airport just after noon. He is accompanied by his son Bilawal,
Interior Minister Rehman Malik and a large delegation in two
planeloads, signifying the importance that both countries are
attaching to this hastily organised trip which Zardari himself
said is of a "religious nature".
Soon after reaching India, Zardari
proceeded to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's 7, Race Course
Road residence and reached there a little after noon.
He will have talks and lunch with the Indian prime minister.
