BJP trying to replicate Chinese, Russian model in India: Farooq Abdullah
The INDIA bloc won’t allow this to happen and we will not allow the Constitution to get buried, asserted the National Conference president.
India today justified its decision not to issue tourist visas to Chinese nationals, saying it was not the right time to talk about the issue in view of the Covid-19 situation in China, especially in cities like Shanghai.
”I don’t think it is an opportune time to talk about the resumption of issuance of tourist visas…other visas continue to be issued,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a media briefing.
He was asked for his reaction to reports that India suspended tourist visas issued to Chinese nationals after Beijing blocked the entry of around 22,000 Indian students studying in Chinese universities.
