ISLAMABAD - A high level delegation from Pakistan will be attending the last rites of former Indian prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who passed away on Thursday.
According to sources, caretaker law and information minister Ali Zafar will represent Pakistan at the former PM's funeral.
Ali Zafar will be accompanied by Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal and a senior official from the law ministry.
The delegation will return to Pakistan tonight after attending Vajpayee's last rites.
Vajpayee, 93, had battled poor health for years but his condition had deteriorated sharply in recent days, with doctors placing him on life support.
He was being treated at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi, where he was admitted nine weeks ago.
