Embassy has clarified that it did not prevent Gulzar or anyone else from attending the Lit fest.
Gulzar was on a private visit, not a State visit. The embassy even if it wanted has no power to dictate anything to individuals on private visits.
He was to attend the festival. your media yesterday claimed that he was asked to retrun on security pretext thouugh Gulzar did not say anything when returned back to India however, he afterwards saved India from embarassment by saying he was feeling not well and returned.
anyway such events should not be marred by rivalries. India had already left a bad taste even among those Pakistanis who were soooooo Pro-India and got the real shock and reality check recently
