Janata Dal (United) leader K.C Tyagi on Saturday said the party welcomed Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit to India, and added that he is happy with the changed attitude of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi.

"We welcome Shri Nawaz Sharif's visit to India. We also welcome Modi's changed policies, as during the poll campaign he spoke against Pakistan," said Tyagi.

Sharif has accepted India's invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Modi on Monday evening.

Television channels such as NDTV and Times Now quoted Sharif's media advisor Tariq Azim, as saying that Sharif will fly to New Delhi for the event.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Sartaz Aziz is also expected to accompany him.

India has invited leaders of all South Asian countries, including Nawaz Sharif to Modi's oath-taking ceremony scheduled for May 26.

The swearing-in ceremony, to be held at the forecourt of the historic Rashtrapati Bhavan, is likely to be attended by as many as 3,000 guests, the report added.
