Burney visits Punjab, lashes at visa policy of India and Pakistan Print E-mail

AMRITSAR: The Pakistan's most renowned human rights activist and United Nations Human Rights Council Advisory Committee Ansar Burney Wednesday lashed at the visa policy of India and Pakistan.

Burny who has arrived Wednesday India through the land route of Indo – Pak Attari Check Post here, on the special invitation extended by Punjab’s chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.

Talking to the media Burney said, “I have applied visa for the whole India but Indian High Commission has restricted my movements while granting me visa for only three cites. I consider the whole of India is my own country and I love to roam all over”.

“The restricted visa granted by the Pakistan based Indian High Commission, dashed all my hopes to ground, since I   have come to India along with my wife, son and close family friend with the wish to visit at Agra  to see the beauty of Taj Mahal. I have a wish to write my name with my wife at the land of Agra. Since I have a love marriage with my wife and I wish that my son could also write the name of his fiancé at the land of Agra but here it seems that to visit Agra a  distant dream”, said Burney in very sad mood.

Burney said that it is sorry state of affair that India and Pakistan still adhering the strict visa policy, whereas the entire Europe has become one.  There is no visa’s requirement to move from place to another with in the Europe. Burlin wall is no more but South Asian countries still lacking behind.

“It is very difficult for the common masses of India and Pakistan to get visa for each other’s country. Here, I feel that Indo –Pak border should be visa free regime to enhance better relation from people to people level”, Burney said.

Both the nations are burning huge amount on war industry. If they love and live in peaceful manner the entire money would be enough to feed the hungry and for greater economical development of both the nations, Burney quipped.

During my four day stay in India I would try my best to meet the Indian Prime Minister and Home Minister at Delhi to hold talk about the Pakistani prisoners languishing in Indian jails, said Burney.

Burney said that it is very tough to see the tears of families, whose kin were rotting the jails of others nations. “I will apply die hard efforts to get released all such prisoners of each others nations except terrorists”, he said.

Burny said, he is deadly against the terrorism whether in India or Pakistan.

Burney along with his wife, son and family friend accompanied by the Punjab Public Relation Minister Bikram Singh Majithia paid obeisance at the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden temple. Later they were also honored by the SGPC with set of Sikh religious books and replica of Golden Temple.
