Benazir Bhutto has lunch with the Advanis

December 12, 2003 16:17 IST

Former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who is in Delhi to attend a two-day conference on peace in South Asia, on Friday had a luncheon meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani at his residence.

Wearing a bright violet salwar-suit, Bhutto spent almost two hours at Advani's residence, where she was received at the portico with flowers by the deputy prime minister, his wife Kamala and daughter Pratibha.

Neither Bhutto nor Advani spoke to the waiting journalists outside.

Sources said it was 'purely a personal and private luncheon' as both leaders belong to Sindh province in Pakistan. This is the second time the Advanis had invited Bhutto to lunch, the previous time being four years ago.

On December 14, Bhutto will pay a visit to Ajmer for a pilgrimage to the dargah of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti.
