ISLAMABAD: The guessing game ended early hours on Sunday when the Prime Minster Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani decided to accept Indian Prime minister, Manmohan Singh’s offer to go to India and watch the ‘high voltage’ India-Pakistan cricket world cup semifinal in Mohali on March 30.
The decision was taken after a meeting between the prime minister and the President Zardari, which according to the presidential spokesman, Farhat Ullah Babar, continued for more than two hours.
It may be recalled that Pakistan
had welcomed the Indian prime minister’s invitation to President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani to witness the match and had said that a decision will be taken after PM Gilani’s return from visit abroad, Babar added.
The foreign diplomats based in Islamabad, earlier felt that declining the invitation would be a serious mistake and a snub for Dr Singh as he had made normalisation of ties with Pakistan his personal priority.
