Sir, Do you know who Akbar S. Ahmed is? Perhaps you should look him up before posting such great ideas. Your question would have been more profound if you questioned why they were barred.

Good job by the ministry. These “diplomats” are probably spies, or terrorist managers. The Pakistanis have no good in any of their intentions. As just one example, look at Javed Naqvi, the Pakistani news correspondent in Delhi. EVERY article of his consists of taking some Indian event, festival, custom or item of history and viciously bad-mouthing it.

Has Pakistan put restrictions on Indian diplomats’ travel in Pakistan ? If not then it is sheer pettiness.

I would just get permission to visit Ajmer which can’t be denied due to religious reasons and then put on some shades and sneak off to Jaipur, which is under 90 miles away. Nobody would notice or care.

We need to pursue knowledge anywhere; but we also need to determine where we are un-welcome! India is a neighbor we must learn and respect to live with but on mutual respect. Pakistan must put its own house in order and stabilize its self economically. When we start respecting ourselves others will follow suit!

What an illiterate and illinformed opinion hassan! Probably you never had the privilage to be in company of a Pakistani diplomatic corps officer. Maybe you should start with reading more about the respected Mr Akbar Salahuddin Ahmed or even Hussain Haqqani (irrespective of what one might think of his liberal tendencies) who are much recent diplomats.

Hassan…At least, they will wear good suits to represent Pakistan even though the ‘diplomats’ have no clue what is happening

Correction..’Indian officials say all Pakistani diplomats need official approval from India’s External Affairs Ministry to travel out of New Delhi”

it is time to recall our ambassador and diplomatic staff from that country; we can’t ever be friends with these people.
