| Close on the heels of reported border incursions, China's recent practice of issuing separate visas to Indian passport holders from Jammu and Kashmir has sparked widespread concern and brought to the fore a growing trust deficit between the two neighbours. The External Affairs Ministry conveyed its unhappiness to the Chinese government on Thursday, a day after a media report disclosed the practice that is seen to give separate status to Jammu and Kashmir, claimed by Pakistan, widely considered Beijing's all-weather ally. "It is our considered view and position that there should be no discrimination against visa applicants of Indian nationality on grounds of domicile or ethnicity," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said here. "We have conveyed our well-justified concern to the Chinese government in this regard," he said. The issue was taken up on Wednesday with both the Chinese embassy and with the foreign office in Beijing. "The visas are valid," was all a spokesperson of the Chinese embassy would say when asked about the practice of issuing standalone visas to Kashmiris. External Affairs Minister S M Krishna is likely to raise the issue with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi's visit to India October 26-27, top sources told IANS. Yang will be here to participate in the trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of India, China and Russia which will be held in Bangalore. The Chinese embassy has been issuing visas for some time to Indian passport holders from Jammu and Kashmir on a separate sheet of paper rather than stamping them in their passports, which is the norm with other Indian citizens. They have given stapled visas earlier to residents of Arunachal Pradesh, over which China claims its sovereignty. The move is fraught with security risks as the unattached visa does not leave any trail behind and does not fully reflect the travel record of the passport holder. Regards Shail |
