Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif Dons Pink Turban Gifted To Him By Narendra Modi At Granddaughter's Wedding

Darpan News Desk IANS, 28 Dec, 2015 12:36 PM
    Narendra Modi gifted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif a pink turban to wear on the occasion of his granddaughter's wedding, HindustanTimes reported.
     
    Nawaz donned the 'Indian Rajasthani pink turban' during Modi's surprise visit on Friday, a source at Nawaz's Jati Umrah residence told the Press.
     
    Wearing the turban, a gift from Modi, showed Nawaz's sincerity towards India and demonstrated that the PM values Modi's gift, the source ─ a member of the PML-N ─ said.
     
    Nawaz's granddaughter, and Maryam Nawaz's daughter, Mehrunnisa married the son of well-known industrialist Chaudhry Munir, Raheel Munir, on Friday.
     
     
    Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry said Modi had telephoned PM Nawaz and expressed his desire to visit Pakistan on his way back from Kabul, where he had inaugurated the new parliament building, a gift from India to Afghanistan.
     
    "It was a goodwill visit and the two sides decided to understand each other's reservations and restart the comprehensive dialogue in a positive manner," said Chaudhry.
     
    Modi was received by Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and other Pakistani officials at Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport. From there, the two leaders flew to Nawaz's Raiwind residence by helicopter, marking the first time that any leaders of the two countries have travelled together.
