ISLAMABAD: The Indian authorities have issued visas to only 100 Pakistani pilgrims for the annual Urs of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer Sharif, significantly below the allotted quota of 500.
According to a statement by Muhammad Umar Butt, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, India has this year imposed restrictions on the number of visas issued, denying travel to 400 potential Pakistani pilgrims.
Despite these limitations, he confirmed that 100 Pakistani pilgrims are scheduled to depart for Ajmer Sharif on Sunday via the Wagah border. These pilgrims will take part in religious ceremonies at the shrine of the esteemed Sufi saint, Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, also known as Gharib Nawaz.
