Modi welcome to apply for visa and wait for review like others do: US

[[Bregs]]

Asserting that there has been no change in its visa policy on Narendra Modi, the US has said the BJP's prime ministerial candidate is welcome to apply for a visa and wait for a review like any other applicant.

"No change in our longstanding visa policy. He's welcome to apply for a visa and await a review like any other applicant," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf told reporters at her daily news conference.

"Visa applications are confidential, or at least the details of them. I can check on that, but not to my knowledge," Harf said when specifically asked if Modi has applied for a US visa.

In 2005, Modi was denied a diplomatic visa and his existing tourist and business visa was revoked under the Immigration and Nationality Act, which makes a foreign government official responsible for severe violations of religious freedom ineligible for a travel document.

Get yourself elected the Prime Minister of India, the Visa issue will cease to be an issue. The White House will get ready to welcome you in double quick time.

India will elect NaMo, not Michelleben Obama.

I hope after Modi becomes PM he boycotts visiting US and UK. That would really mean something to all those who are smarting under this insult.
