New Delhi: India refused to give visa to famous Islamic scholar and chief Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri who was scheduled to address in around 40 cities.
Minhaj-ul-Quran International (MQI), in a statement issued expressed utmost dismay over Indian government’s decision as Qadri had visited the country several times before.
The visa denial has left Qadri’s hosts, Observer Research Foundation (ORF), Mumbai and Minhaj-ul-Quran International (India), distraught and his followers disappointed.
“It is shocking as Dr Qadri has millions of followers in India, and it is not the first time he is visiting the country”, said an MQI spokesperson.
The statement further added that all the programs were organized after MQI (India) and ORF held talks with the Indian home minister and it hard to find the reasons why Indian government rejected to issue the visa.
Despite rejection, Qadri will expectedly address the gatherings through video conference.
