NEW DELHI -- Extremely worried about his father Asif Nizami missing in Pakistan, his son Amir Nizami on Thursday appealed to the government to take immediate action into the matter.

"We appeal to the Indian government to get to know about the whereabouts of both. They had gone on a pilgrimage and now there is no information about them," Nizami told the media.

"We are people of Dargah and want them to return to their country at the earliest. We urge the same to the government," he added.
