Islamabad [Pakistan], April 29 (ANI): Days after some Pakistanis were found to be involved in the abduction of four Nepal citizens in Istanbul, Turkey has decided to tighten its visa policy for nationals from Pakistan, local media reported on Thursday.

This comes after four Nepal citizens were kidnapped “at gunpoint” from Taksim Square by a group of six Pakistan nationals. As per the reports, the Nepalis were also subjected to torture by these Pakistanis after being abducted.

“The Turkish government has tightened the visa policy for Pakistanis after crimes reportedly involving Pakistanis,” reported Arab News quoting Pakistani media outlet, Aaj News.

“The government has also stopped issuing temporary residence permit for Pakistanis,” it added.

As per the media reports, the abductors also demanded a ransom of 10,000 euros. Later on, the police conducted a raid against the kidnappers and they were successfully nabbed and arrested.

In another incident earlier, some Pakistani nationals were also detained by the Turkish authorities for protesting the ouster of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan from power. However, after the intervention from Pakistani diplomats the arrested protesters were released.

Notably, a significant number of Pakistanis live and work in Istanbul, Ankara and other major cities across Turkey. In addition, every month hundreds of Pakistani citizens visit the transcontinental country, reported Arab News. (ANI)

Anyway, we needed that as negligence from our part has to be compensated by someone. Glad, no Pakistani did some 'grieve/extreme' unlawful thing on the visa.

It’s not about few filth. It is a deeper issue of patronage of criminals here who never get prosecuted. Try registering a simple FIR and you’ll find out.

These emboldened criminals are now spreading the filth wherever they are going after getting the best training.

Both right-wing extremist mullah types and leftist liberals end up endorsing the same beliefs. Such as opposing enforced family planning or in this case capital punishment.

Mullahs want the dayat laws alive and liberals want death sentences to be abolished. Both are so extreme they end up wanting the same thing.

Turkish consulates issuing visas like hot cakes without due diligence on the applicants. Applicants file forged documents which are not verified by the consulates or their appointed visa consultants. Previously you were interviewed at the consulate but not anymore. Visa issue time reduced from 4 weeks to less than 10 days. This was bound to happen. We Pakistanis always misuse facilities offered to us. Shameful really.
