Indian pop singer Daler Mehndi said he had presented the Pakistani rights for his new album "Bismillah" to President Asif Ali Zardari to help raise funds for the poor.

Mehndi said his collection of Sufi music will be released in Pakistan to raise funds for the poor and with an aim of expanding cultural ties between India and Pakistan, Mehndi said addressing a news conference at the Lahore Press Club.

Currently on a private visit to Pakistan, Mehndi thanked Zardari and the people of the country for the love and warmth shown to him during his stay in the country.

During a meeting with the singer in Islamabad on Wednesday, Zardari said there were centuries-old cultural relations between the people of both countries and there is a need to jointly develop tourist infrastructure and expand cultural ties.

"More travel and tourism will certainly help in this direction," he said.

Mehndi also visited Gurdwara Punja Sahib in Hasanabdal to participate in religious rituals. During his visit to Hasanabdal, Mehndi was received by officials of the Evacuee Trust Property Board, local administration and Gurdwara management committee.
