Pak delegation pulls out of SAARC Sufi festival

Jaipur : In the wake of the recent tension between India and Pakistan, a Pakistani delegation which was scheduled to attend the SAARC Sufi festival has pulled out from the three-day event beginning here this Friday, reports PTI. The delegation comprising authors, writers, poets and Sufis will not be attending the festival to be held from October 14-16 at the Diggi palace. “The delegation members have cancelled their participation to the event. The reason for most of them is the recent tension between the two countries following which the schedule of the event has been revised accordingly,” Ram Pratap Diggi, the local associate of the organisers, said. The event is being organised by SAARC Writers and Literature (FOSWAL).
