India has denied a visa to former Pakistan President Parvez Mussharaf, after the Indian Home Ministry expressed reservations over Musharraf's visit due to his recent anti-India statements.
Musharraf has been invited to attend a seminar and receive an award at a ceremony hosted by the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) to be held in New Delhi on Saturday.
The Sydney Morning Herald writes Earlier Musharraf had accused India of trying to create a hostile state in Afghanistan against his country. "If I'm allowed to be very, very frank, India's role in Afghanistan is to create an anti-Pakistan Afghanistan," Musharraf had said.
"This is very clear to me. There are consulates in Kandahar and Jalalabad (which) are actually involved in creating trouble in Pakistan. They have no other role," said Musharraf, and questioned, "Why wouldn't the consulates be somewhere in the north facing Uzbekistan and Tajikistan?"
Sify.com writes "An Indian home ministry official on Wednesday said that Musharraf's visa application had been denied, without elaborating on the reason, but he added that the foreign ministry could still overturn the decision."
"He wanted to visit several Indian cities and attend a few events but we have expressed our reservations on granting Musharraf a visa," the official said.
Sounds good to me, I think no one can go on criticizing a country continously and still expect to visit the country.
