ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb has contradicted part of a news item about Indian businessman Sajjan Jindal’s recent visit to Pakistan.
In a statement on Friday, she said there was no mention of Mr Jindal during the meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief of the Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa.
“Jindal is a friend of the prime minister and met him in his personal capacity. The news item that made rounds yesterday is incorrect,” she said.

If nothing there, why worry to make it an issue? India is still there after Modi.

Once elected a PM has no bigger friends than his own country. His responsibility is far and above his friendships to the country only. Why he is meeting with a national of India?

I know for a fact that Indians have problems getting visas to visit Pakistan. If getting the visa was made easy (by the officials in Pakistan embassy in India) for this gentleman because he is a friend of the Prime Minister, under whose instructions was he issued the visa?
