Former Pakistan prime minister Chaudhury Shujaat Hussain on Friday said Muslims who chose to stay in India after the Partition should love their country and not have any doubts about their decision.

The visiting Pakistan Muslim League leader, who offered prayers at the historic Jama Masjid in Delhi, said Pakistan will pursue the ongoing peace process with honesty.

Addressing hundreds of devotees who had gathered for the Friday prayers, Hussain said he had brought with him greetings from President Pervez Musharraf [Images].

"In 1947, you had made a choice to stay in India and there should be no doubts about the decision," he told the congregation. "You are Indians and your love for India should be strong."

Hussain was accompanied to the 16th century mosque in the walled city by Pakistan High Commissioner Aziz Ahmed Khan and members of a Pakistan Muslim League delegation.
