In a further sign of thawing relations between India and Pakistan on the troublesome issue of Kashmir and Jammu, New Delhi announced that it will extend the Khokrapar-Munabao Sind-Rajasthan rail link to Ajmer to allow Pakistani pilgrims to visit Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti`s tomb.
Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti is a 13th century Muslim Sufi saint, known also as Gharib Nawaz. Chisti is the most famous Sufi saint of southern Asia`s Chisti order, and was a direct descendent of prophet Muhammad. He stablished the Chishtiyya order in Ajmer, India.
The Business Standard reported that India also proposed to Pakistan that no new defense posts be established near the Line of Control dividing India and Pakistani-ruled Kashmir. India`s and Pakistan`s foreign secretaries are currently meeting to review the ongoing peace process and discuss new confidence building measures initiatives.
During the two days of meetings the Indian delegation proposed holding high-level military meetings at the frontier, according to Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna.
Other topics of discussion included terrorism, with Indian Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran expressing New Delhi`s concerns to Pakistani Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammad Khan.
For its part Pakistan raised Indian comments on Baluchistan, with the Indian side rejecting as 'unfounded' Pakistani allegations about New Delhi`s involvement in the recent disturbances there.
