India denies visa to 75 pilgrims, Pakistan protests

What do you mean that's not an excuse. Its as per the mutually agreed contract the visa was denied you nutshell. There were visa rejections previously too, if found to be a violation of agreement.
"mutually agreed contract" where'd you pull that out of? your foul mouth?

Check the first reply on that, also that was in 2013... we have no problem with sikh pilgrims, actually they're welcome!

Indians go for only pilgrimage unlike some people with suicidal tendencies always ready to blow themselves.
we have caught spies before but that doesn't mean we don't allow them... the ones we do catch, let's just leave it at that, i am just gonna say they'd rather blow themselves up :)

What sort of pilgrimage is that, why don't these people go for Umrah or Hajj instead.

Don't talk crap. Behave yourself.
I shouldn't have said that. But question remains why come here for pilgrimage? Many pakistanis are also questioning this. For Muslims pilgrimage is hajj then why come to India? Obviously there is some thing more than just pilgrimage like finding new targets. After all this is holy jihad against us kafirs.

There is difference between spies and terrorist's. Right?

Are you so naive that you don't know the difference between Hajj (Pilgrimage) and visiting a religious shrine? Paranoia driving you nuts?

Their protest is justified.Why didn't the authorities bring this when they were collecting their documents,they can call them back and ask for additional documents.It's not one random dude but 70 people that are inconvinced by this fuckery.

:rolleyes:

Interior ministry of Pakistan should Deny all Visas to Indian Sikh Pilgrims including Indian Hindu Pilgrims. No more Good will gestures. Our positive gestures can't change the mind of a Nation which had been feeding on hate.
Denying visa's is just another way of releasing your frustration? Do you want to follow the murky path followed by MEA babus.

Most of the shrines are in Punjab and until SS is there, Visa is no problemo.

There was no organizing committee there to give guarantee for the Pakistani visitors. Do you know how serious it is Mr?

BTW I am running short of swear words.

W DELHI: Amid mounting uncertainty over whether the foreign secretary dialogue will take place later this week, Delhi and Islamabad were left battling another controversy over denial of visas to 75 Pakistani pilgrims.



According to Pakistan, the pilgrims, who wanted to visit the Hafiz Abdullah Shah shrine in Agra, had already assembled in Lahore on Saturday when they were told by Indian authorities that they were not going to get visas.




Pakistan protested India's decision, saying the denial was "inconsistent" with the 1974 bilateral protocol on visits to religious shrines by pilgrims from either country. According to Indian authorities, the issue was related to this shrine in particular only as there was no organising committee there to give guarantee for the Pakistani visitors. "These pilgrims were travelling to attend annual gathering of Hafiz Abdullah Shah shrine near Agra from 11-18 January. Pakistan has been issuing visas to Indian pilgrims in accordance with the protocol," said a Pakistani official.



Indian officials said under the protocol on visits to shrines, an organising committee member or local authorities are required to extend logistical support to the visitors and give an undertaking that they will not use the visa to visit any other place. They said the decision had nothing to do with the uncertainty over FS dialogue in the wake of the Pathankot attack.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't pilgrimage only permitted to Mecca and Medina and Jerusalem?
