Well known Pakistani human rights activist Ansar Burney, who is representing Razia Begum, told the media here that she has refused External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's offer of assistance in travelling to India.
Razia Begum was offered assistance in visiting India and meeting and identifying her son but she has turned it down, Burney said.
Burney told PTI that Razia turned down the invitation because the environment in India is against Pakistanis and Muslims.
"Razia said she would gladly bear the pain of missing her son but wait until India tries to first improve relations with Pakistan," Burney added.

Swaraj had tweeted last week that in case Pakistan is ready to accept Ramazan, Indian government will send him back.
The boy is currently with an NGO in Bhopal after efforts to send him to Karachi could not be fructify due to lack of papers to prove his Pakistani citizenship.
Ramzan's story is similar to that of Geeta's.
Razia has not seen her son since he was eight years old when he was taken away to Bangladesh by his father in 2008.
The Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan TCA Raghavan also met with Razia last week and assured her she would get a visa to go to India to meet her son.
Razia has two children -- Ramazan and a girl -- and in 2004, her husband divorced her and later remarried and took away the children to Bangladesh.
