India refuses visa to Musharraf

[Nalwa]

This has to do with the security of Pakistani people in India. The question is... are they safe?

I think the answer lies in the warm welcome accorded to average people from Pakistan in India. Politics is dirty but people to people contact have always been good between the two countries. 26/11 may have changed things a bit, but an ordinary Pakistani is always welcome to visit India.

Hmmm... how can one deduce that ?

The reason could be to provide security to Musharraf that too on his private visit.

The Pakistanis are as safe in India as Indians and I don't think they can be differentiated from Indians.

Mr Webmaster

Pakistani are more safe in India than in pakistan U know why ?

Because they have to report their presence in every local Police station / District quaters they move around giving information about their host and other stuff... there are night checks to confirm their presence...

Members of IB and DRI always keep their eyes on them... you can't get your visa extended (except Medical).

Once you leave the host has to report that you have left and for where and answer hundred of questions

Why don't you arrest him and try him then?

Nah! Why make a martyr out of him,when he serves as a scapegoat.

However, can't deny the fact hez the best for improving ties with Pakistan.

But him being out of Pakistani Govt circle,he is of no value.

may be this will answer your above question..

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, who wanted to visit India for attending a seminar this weekend, was today denied visa.

The decision was taken after the Home Ministry expressed reservations over the visit of the former Pakistani military ruler due to his recent anti-India statements, official sources said.

Besides, the government also did not want convergence of elements opposed to the present regime in Pakistan on Indian soil for their activities.

Some of Musharraf's supporters had also applied to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad for a visa to visit India around the time he was planning to travel here and the three other metros, the sources said.

Musharraf had been invited to attend a seminar hosted by the Young Presidents Organisation, an international outfit involving influential business leaders. The conference was scheduled to be held in Delhi on Saturday.
The former Pakistan president was among the guest speakers at the event.

Musharraf, currently living in self-exile in Britain, had recently said that India was responsible for creating unrest in Pakistan's south-western Baluchistan province and authorities have "solid evidence" in this regard.

He claimed that the involvement of India and Afghanistan in Baluchistan was creating unrest in the province. He was also the key architect of the Kargil war.

Almost a decade ago, Musharraf had visited India for the Agra summit and made two more visits in 2005 and 2009. In 2005, he visited India as President for watching an Indo-Pak one day cricket match and in 2009 to attend a media event after shedding power.

i read it already.

1. If Indian govt says it has denied the visa because Musharraf has criticised India then its no valid reason though you have right to deny the visa but giving lame excuses is laughable.

Advani and many other Indians specially from media who criticised Pakistan many times but we are not paranoid so dint deny the visas.


2. Musharraf had been criticising India and blaming India for BLA terrorists since long then why India did not deny the visa in 2009 and before that ??


3. Kargil happened before 2000 but Musharraf also visited India in 2009 when he was not a president so bringing Kargil in ???

4. As far as Pakistani internal politics is concerned i dont think so any personal statement by Musharraf can make any difference.

5. The above news by ToI claims

Besides, the government also did not want convergence of elements opposed to the present regime in Pakistan on Indian soil for their activities

what activities ? if that was the case you could have banned any political meeting by him and instead of denying is participation in the conference. arent you taking sides in Pakistani politics by defending zardari ?


heheh clearly the Indian govt is pssed off that Musharraf will steal media limelight

The decision to reject General Musharraf’s visa application was taken as the Home Ministry had serious reservations over allowing him to visit the Capital in view of his recent anti-India statements, sources in the Home Ministry said on Wednesday. The government also did not want to be seen encouraging a gathering and activities here of those elements who were opposed to the present regime in Pakistan.

The sources disclosed that some supporters of the former military ruler of Pakistan had also applied to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad simultaneously for a visa for him to visit India. His visa applications in London as well as in Islamabad were rejected by the Indian High Commissions there.

Kargil issue is the lamest of all the excuses Musharraf has been to india many times post kargil war, now all of a sudden Indians are getting in touch with their feelings regarding kargil.

Lets cut it short he was denied visa for his private visit for security reasons, Lets wait for GOP's reaction.

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

Kargil issue is the lamest of
all the excuses

Indians are getting in touch with their feelings regarding kargil.

Hey mate chill,this perspective is mine alone.

Musharraf has been to India many times post kargil war, now all of a sudden

Yes!But he visited India as President of Pakistan.

For now he is insignificant.

 

[Spring Onion]

Who know GOP may have been consulted.

So now India who once considered Musharraf rule good for India now consult Government of Pakistan for issuing or non issuing of visas ??


quite an amazing revolution

The reason cited for visa denial is security reasons lets hear what GOP's reaction is.

he is an ordinary citizen now not part of GoP so why GoP would show any reaction? many Pakistanis are denied visas by India but GoP is not at showing reaction

[LaBong]

Good work. Any move by Mush now is solely directed at regaining his political clout. Spare us from his well rehearsed rhetoric.
