NEW DELHI: Home Minister Rajnath Singh will visit Pakistan on Wednesday to attend the SAARC Home Ministers’ conference, notwithstanding threat by LeT founder Hafiz Saeed and is expected to ask Islamabad to stop sponsoring terror in India.
“The SAARC meeting is a multilateral meeting. There are some commitments. He is not going to give some message or having a separate meeting with (the) Pakistani Home Minister,” Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju told reporters here.
He was responding to questions about threats made by the Lashkar-e-Taiba founder over the Home Minister’s visit. Saeed warned of a countrywide protest in Pakistan by his outfit if Singh arrives in Islamabad to attend the SAARC ministerial conference.
Official sources said Singh is unlikely to meet his Pakistani counterpart Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan separately as top echelons of the Government feel that time is not conducive for a bilateral meeting. (AGENCIES)
