Delhi turns tables on Beijing over Mirwaiz trip to China
New Delhi, Nov20, DHNS:
China's ploy to needle India on Kashmir by inviting separatist Hurriyat Conference leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq for a conference on Muslims may finally put Beijing itself in a tricky situation.
New Delhi on Friday turned the tables on Beijing by stating that Mirwaiz was free to go to China, provided he got a visa recognised as valid by the Indian government.
New Delhi had recently stated that it would not accept as valid the “stapled paper visas” issued by the Chinese embassy and consulates in India exclusively to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh.
“He (Mirwaiz) is free to go wherever he wants to,” external affairs minister S M Krishna told journalists when he was asked to react to Mirwaiz’s statement that he had received an “invitation” from “a Chinese NGO” to travel to that country for a seminar on Muslims there.
Foreign secretary Nirupama Rao later told a news conference that the Indian government had never prevented the Kashmiri leaders from travelling to other countries. She, however, made it clear that Mirwaiz would have to get a “valid visa” from the Chinese government to travel to that country.
The ministry of external affairs (MEA) recently issued a travel advisory stating that the Indian government did not recognise the stapled paper visas as valid travel documents and immigration officers in the airports would not let people with such visas to fly out. “If China issues stapled paper visa to Mirwaiz, he would not be allowed to fly out — only for technical reasons and not because of the Indian government’s disagreement with the separatist agenda of the Hurriyat Conference,” an MEA official said.
And, if the Chinese government issues a regular visa to Mirwaiz, it will tantamount to backtracking by Beijing from its earlier decision not to treat the people of J&K on a par with Indian citizens from other states.
Tibetans are from Genghis Khan. Genghis owned all of china historically before invading Arabia and Europe. Tibetians own the modern day China, called Mao China. We want to see Tibetians control the Communist Politboro.
We want to see Tibetians succeed Jinto and rule China for the enxt 500 years.
When did China get religious! Why not host a conference on Buddhism and recognize Tibet as a independent country!
India should host a conference on Buddhism and invite all religiuos leaders from Tibet.
Because Indias politicians are here to make career and not for patriotism. As long as their 10 generations have crores to play with thats all they care. Whether Kasab enters from Mumbai or Mayawati loots crores in name of gift and statues or MNS separates Maharashtra , it doesnt matter. Chinese politicians love their country so they have established commerce in Africa and surrounded India.
