New Delhi, Apr 8 (ANI): Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari left for Ajmer to pay obeisance at the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti after having fruitful and constructive talks with Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh at the latter's official residence, 7 Race Course Road.

Zardari earlier during the meeting invited Indian Prime Minister to visit Pakistan.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal is accompanying Zardari to Ajmer, and he will be offering a chadar at Moinuddin Chishti's dargah on behalf of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.

Both India and Pakistan expressed satisfaction with today's talks, and showed keen interest in finding practical, pragmatic solutions to all issues.

Zardari had landed at 12.10 pm at Palam Air Force Base (technical area) here along with his son Bilawal Bhutto, Interior Minister Rehman Malik and some senior officials.

Zardari will be at the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti for nearly an hour before flying back to Pakistan.
