<b>Ravish Ji :</b>
Many thanks your reply which is general in nature and does not address the issues raised.
Let us take the Visitor Visa Issue :
The Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi issues 1,000 Visitorsâ Visas every month to Indians to visit Pakistan.
The Indian High Commission in Islamabad issues 10,000 Visitorsâ Visas every month to Pakistanis to visit India.
All Indians return from Pakistan.
Every Year up to 10,000 (I would opine many more) Pakistanis visiting India go missing and do not return to Pakistan.
Now I put up the following for your consideration : A large number of these Pakistani Visitors who do not return to Pakistan become in fact <b>Sleepers</b> i.e. they are waiting for Instructions from Pakistan â normal Government, ISI or whatever â to carry out nefarious and Terrorist Acts.
Why is it that Pakistan issue only 1,000 Visitorsâ Visa to Indians wanting to visit Pakistan?
Now for some facts : I am in touch with a number of Pakistanis who have their relatives in India. The Pakistanis (In very High Positions i.e. Justices of the Pakistani Courts) complain that their Indian Relatives are too proud to visit Pakistan. There was even an Article in the Pakistani Press to this effect.
On the other hand the Indian Muslims complain that all Pakistanis visiting India originally come for a week or two and then refuse to return in time, making all sorts of excuses and begging the Indian Authorities to extend their stay in India. One of my esteemed Pakistani Friend has been to India nearly Thirty Times in the last Twenty Five Years and on every visit stays for a week or two at the 15 to 20 Relatives in India. How can he spend 20-25 Weeks a year in India? Why?
Of all his relatives <b>Only One visited Pakistan â Only Once</b>
One cannot understand why the Government of India is allowing so many Pakistanis to visit India.
The contention that these 120,000 Pakistanis visiting India annually will contribute to the Indian Economy is bandied about.
Far from it.
According to my Indian Friends <b>The Pakistani Relatives are a bunch of bums</b> always overstaying their hospitality.
These Pakistani Visitors â being used to the âCrappyâ Pakistan Railways Facilities â make full use of the Indian Railways which are subsidised by the Indian Tax Payer and Government.
All the old Pakistanis â many middle aged and even a number of young ones â feign all sorts of disabilities, in addition to those who are over 60 and above and get not only free Two-Three Tier Air Condition Class Travel for themselves but also for the person accompanying them.
Thus this huge number of Pakistanis are a Burden to the Indian Tax Payer as well as the Government.
Why is the Indian Government bent upon wasting its meagre finances on the Pakistani Visitors [b]who will never ever wish anything but evil for India.
One of the very senior Pakistani Officers who travels to India every year confessed to me that during the Bangladesh War and the Kargil War that he actively worked on collecting Funds to finance the Pakistani Armed Forces to aid them in their Quest of Conquering India.
Is this what the government of India wants?
I asked one of my Pakistani Friends as to how â he is about 47 years old â he can manage Eight to Ten weeks every year in India? How does he get leave from his Employers? He just shrugged his shoulders.
Look forward to your reply
