I realize you are 20 years my senior, but be VERY careful before taking ANY Pakistani at face value especially if he (or she) throws their "contacts" at you in terms of being cavalier with the rules, strict and narrow.
Go there through absolutely the proper channels, and make sure there are enough people in reasonably high up places aware about where you are going and who you plan to meet while there.
Not trying to pour water over your enthusiasm and love for our brothers next door, but am speaking from experiences of some people I know ....
Cheers, Doc
