Islamabad : Pakistan has denied that it has abandoned plans to open a consulate in Mumbai’s Jinnah House, which was Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s personal residence before India’s partition.
Pakistan had decided long ago to open a consulate at Jinnah House but the Indian government needed to lease out the building, a foreign office official said Friday.
The official said a news report suggesting that Pakistan had withdrawn its request to the Indian authorities about opening a consulate at Jinnah House was incorrect, the Daily Times reported Saturday.
He said that Pakistan still wanted possession of Jinnah House for the consulate.
