India, Afghanistan ink pact for visa-free travel

[Pandora]

You know, you Pakistanis keep complaining about sending them back and yet they don't go; similar to how Banglas hate us but won't go back.

Guess even here we have something common.

You know why?

Because it becomes crucial for local politicians as votebanks.

In Pakistan refugees are not allowed to vote. According to law only a Pakistani passport holder can participate in electoral voting process so your reasoning is flawed in this case.

The real issue is that untill a proper border management system is in place until then there is no point sending them back. Pakistan has already started to put in place a border management system so that no afghan can travel without a visa.

India and Afghanistan have inked a pact for visa-free travel by their diplomats following Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah’s recent meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during which they discussed key bilateral issues.

“Sustained engagement with Afghanistan. Chief Executive Abdullah meets the Prime Minister… Promoting stronger diplomatic ties… India and Afghanistan sign agreement on visa free travel for diplomats,” India’s External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted on Monday.

Afghanistan to acquire military helicopters from India

According to Indian media reports, Abdullah thanked Modi for India’s consistent assistance support in various spheres including defence and for meeting his country’s developmental needs. India had given three multi-role Mi-35 helicopters to Afghanistan in December for combating terrorism in the war-torn country.

The Afghan Chief Executive Officer and Head of the Council of Ministers is currently in India and is expected to attend a conference on counter-terrorism in Jaipur. His visit to India comes in wake of his Indian counterpart’s visit to Kabul, where he had inaugurated the newly-built Afghan parliament building in December last year.

Opening the parliament building in Kabul, Modi had pledged India’s support for the Afghan government and urged regional powers including Pakistan to work together to foster peace. “India is here to contribute, not to compete; to lay the foundation of future, not light the flame of conflict,” Modi had told lawmakers in Kabul, adding that Afghanistan could never “serve the designs of others”.

In hindsight: how useless of a gesture can it be? visa free travel for diplomats -- but it sure won friends.

Kudos to India !!!

I read this as "raw" will have free entry to Afghanistan. For the diplomats, it was never a problem.

Please take the refugees as well...

Who is asking you to take Afghanistan refugees? It was you who did it in late 80s after taking military and economic aid from the Americans ? And you must thank Afghanis as of today American gave you nearly 30 billion dollars cash arms diplomacy at global stage etc . I don't see why you can't see real government in place in Afghanistan .

So you hate the Vedic people too?




Whatever you call it, this region never belonged to Dravidians. If Muslims didn't invade, the proud ethnic groups of this region would have never united with the rest of the Peninsula.

Even though India had many powerful kingdoms with powerful is usually fought for land and resources they all were Hindus. In modern times where war between civilizations upped the ante India by far could have united . But this Union could have been very powerful super power than what India is today if there was no invasion!!! As you know only after invasion of India Western and Arab world advanced technologically and scientifically I'm all aspect's. Sure still many kingdoms could have not united but the reason to fight among themselves will not be there like it did in ancient times .

So stop being so clever that you can predict the outcome and thinking that is the only gospel truth is nonsense
