They bring the official chadar to the dargah . But, this time, there was no delegation so I brought the chadar on behalf of our government and citizens.” Due to the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, the delegation from Pakistan didn't come this year to attend Urs.He opined that a delegation from Pakistan should be allowed in future to attend the annual Urs in Ajmer.
