New Delhi has reportedly denied visa to a high profile team of Pakistan-India Peoples' Forum for Peace and Democracy (PIPFPD) which was scheduled to visit occupied Srinagar on Friday. The officials in the Indian Prime Minister's Office (PMO), according to PIPFPD sources, had been using delaying tactics to issue visas to 11 prominent Pakistani civil society actors who were to visit occupied Kashmir along with their four Indian counterparts.
The PMO officials have said they will issue the visas, but not at this moment, the PIPFPD sources said.
Much significance was being attached here to the team's three-day visit as the PIPFPD, according to one of its founding members, was likely to take a clear position on Kashmir issue after assessing the ground situation.
Prominent among the expected delegation were Justice Abdul Majid Malik, former judge of Azad Kashmir, Afrasiyab Khattak, former chairperson of Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and chairman PIPFPD Pakistan chapter, and senior civil society activists Dr Mubashir Hassan, I A Rehman, Anees Haroon and Dr Haroon Ahmed.
