New Delhi: As the confirmation on Pakistan Prime Minister's attendance at Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony continues to get delayed, Nawaz Sharif's daughter on Friday tweeted that Pakistan should cultivate cordial relations with the new Indian government.
"I personally think cordial relations with new Indian govt should be cultivated. Will help remove psychological barriers, fear & misgivings," tweeted Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
She further tweeted, "It's upon the leaders to lead their countries & ppl to peace & conciliation."
Earlier in the day it was reported that there was a rift between Sharif and Pakistan Army regarding Modi's invitation. Till late on Friday there was no word from the Pakistan foreign office which had on Thursday announced that a decision on Sharif's visit toDelhi will be made known today.
The invitation for Sharif has sparked a debate in the country on whether it should be accepted or not, particularly in view of strains in bilateral ties and non-acceptance of a Pakistani invitation by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the past, the report said.
Modi has invited the leaders of member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to the ceremony. Prime Minister Sharif had telephoned Modi to congratulate him on his party's election victory and invited him to visit Pakistan after assuming office.
