New Delhi, Mar 10 : Priests at the dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti refused a donation from Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf when he visited the 800-year-old Sufi shrine in Ajmer.




“The prime minister wanted to offer ‘nazrana' (donation) at the dargah. But we told the Pakistan high commission that any nazrana by the dignitary will not be accepted,” Wahid Mian Chisti told IANS.

The secretary of the Anjuman Khadims said on telephone from Ajmer that the refusal had nothing to do with the boycott of Ashraf's visit by the Diwan of the dargah, Zainul Abedin Ali Khan.
