Gabe has been posting articles by some anti-American columnists from India highly critical of the US for revoking the visas or denying visas to certain Indians, as if any and everyone should be allowed into the country just because they want to.
Experienced travellers know that this can happen if their paperwork is incomplete or if their bona fides are questioned by the host country for whatever reason. Fred has now given us an example of 3 Nepalese scholars barred from a meeting in India, including one who had been an Ambassador to India. Security personnel stopped them at the border on orders from "higher authorities". Hey, Gabe, since you seem to have been trying to make some sort of point with those articles you posted, what say you or your anti-American columnists now? --- "Frederick Noronha wrote: > http://in.news.yahoo.com//050326/43/2ke75.html > > Top Stories > Saturday March 26, 10:28 AM > > Three Nepal scholars barred from India meet > By Indo-Asian News Service > > Kathmandu, March 26 (IANS) Three Nepalese academics, including a former ambassador to India, were Friday prevented by security forces from traveling to India to attend a seminar. > > Lokraj Baral, a former Nepalese envoy to India and a respected author, as well as Tribhuvan University professors Krishna Khanal and Krishna Hachchethu were to take part in the seminar to be held in Goa from Saturday. > > The Centre for the Study of Developing Society in New Delhi had organised the meet. > > But security personnel stopped all three at the Tribhuvan International Airport, saying they had instructions from higher authorities. >
