Amritsar: Pakistan prime minister's foreign affairs advisor Sartaj Aziz was not allowed to visit the Golden Temple on Sunday due to security considerations.
He was also not allowed to speak to Pakistani mediapersons at the Radisson Blue hotel where he was staying, PTI reported citing government sources.
Aziz arrived here on Saturday evening to attend the Heart of Asia conference.
"Security was very tight. Permission was not given due to security reasons. Security of our guests is paramount. India ensured no untoward incident took place," the report said citing official sources.
