Hina was given a warm reception by people at the dargah. Dressed in a traditional salwar-kameez, she also offered a chadar at Amir Khushro's grave later.
Mahmud Mushtaq, a local shop-owner, said, "It is very pleasing to see someone from Pakistan visiting this dargah. She is a very young minister. Let us hope she plays an important part in developing cordial relations between the two countries."
Mohammed Naseem (36), who owns a flower shop, said, "She is different. There was a special charm to her. She is very graceful." "She was really nice.
She behaved like a common woman who had come just to pray," said another shop owner Mohammed Akhtar. Afterwards, Khar left for Ajmer.
