Indian Sufi clerics go missing in Pakistan
The Indians have been identified as Syed Asif Ali Nizami, the head cleric of New Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah and his cousin Nazim Nizami.
"Indian nationals Syed Asif li Nizami aged 80 years and his nephew Nazim Ali Nizami had gone to Pakistan on 8 March 2017," Swaraj's tweet read.
"Syed Asif Ali Nizami is Head Priest (Sajjadanashin) of Hazrat Nizammuddin Aulia dargah," a subsequent tweet read.
"Both are missing after they landed at Karachi airport," a third tweet said.
However, the Government of India have taken up the issue with the Pakistani government and have asked the latter for an update.
"We have taken up this matter with Government of Pakistan and requested them for an update on both the Indian nationals in Pakistan," Swaraj tweeted.
