Jaipur: Mounting tension between India and Pakistan after the February 14 Pulwama attack has resulted in the postponement of a wedding between a Rajasthani man and a Pakistani woman.
The groom, Mahendra Singh, had booked train tickets to Sinoi village in Amarkot district of Sindh province in Pakistan and was supposed to tie the knot with Chagan Kanwar on Saturday. However, his train was not allowed to leave the station due to the suspension of its operation by Pakistan authorities after soaring border tensions between the two countries.
“We faced a lot of issues in getting visas. I spoke to (minister) Gajendra Singh for getting the visas for Pakistan. It was only because of him that we were able to get visas for five people. We had made all preparations and distributed invitation cards to the relatives,” Mahendra told ANI.
Amid growing tension, Mahendra decided to postpone the wedding to March 8.
