As authorities seek to avoid any untoward situation on the occasion of Iranian President Syyed Ebrahim Raisi's visit, mobile services have been suspended in several parts of Karachi.

The Iranian President reached Karachi today (April 23) after concluding his visit to Lahore.

Mobile service will remain suspended from 5pm to 8pm in Saddar till Malir area of the metropolis, sources said.

Earlier in the day, Raisi visited Allama Iqbal’s mausoleum in Lahore to pay his respects to the poet of east.

Upon his arrival in the provincial capital, Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz welcomed Raisi and his delegation at the Allama Iqbal International Airport on the second day of his three-day official visit to Pakistan.

“I wanted to address a public gathering in Pakistan, but, it could not be made possible due to some reasons," said President Raisi during his visit to the mausoleum of Allama Iqbal.

The dignitary said he did not “feel like a stranger at all” and there were “special emotions and connection” with the people of Pakistan.

"The hearts of Pakistan and Iran will always be linked together," he added.

Raisi paid tribute to the philosopher, saying "Iqbal was also very inspirational for Iranian people".

The Iranian President also penned his admiration for Allama Iqbal’s literary legacy in the visitors’ book.

A day earlier, Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi reached Islamabad on a three-day official visit to Pakistan.
