Islamabad: India on Sunday issued visas to only 249 Pakistani pilgrims to visit Ajmer Sharif instead of 488 applicants, who intended to visit the tomb of revered Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti in Rajasthan.
According to a spokesperson of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, over 200 Pakistani pilgrims remained deprived to pay homage to the Sufi Saint.
