HYDERABAD: Demand to reopen Indian visa office in Karachi
HYDERABAD, Sept 19: The Pakistan chapter of the Association of People’s of Asia has demanded that the governments of Pakistan and India should decide to set up an Indian visa office in Karachi before reopening the Khokhropar border.
In a statement issued here on Monday, APA Pakistan chapter president Khursheed Shaikh advocate, Sindh chapter president Zafar Rajput and other office-bearers said in the absence of the Indian visa office, the people of Sindh would have to travel to Islamabad to get visa.
They said getting visa had become inconvenient and expensive for the people of Sindh.
They said under the circumstances reopening of the Khokhropar route would be rendered meaningless as the facility would remain restricted to rich people only.
The APA leaders urged the two governments to announce a definite date for reopening of a visa office in Karachi.
They said 90 per cent of the people whose relatives were living in India belong to Sindh.
