Situation not ripe for pilgrimage, Pakistan told
Context
Row over denial of visas to pilgrims from Pakistan to Ajmer
Reason given by India
Prevailing circumstances are not suitable for pilgrimage between India and Pakistan
Pakistan’s view: India violated the protocol
The visit was to take place under the 1974 Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines and is a regular annual feature
Ongoing diplomatic problems
Pakistan’s allegation on non-issuance of visas came in the context of the ongoing problem between the diplomats on both sides which includes blocking of the portal of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad which disallows normal delivery of consular services.
