How denial of visas to Khalistan supporters is a good idea
FirstpostSome foreign media outlets claim that India is restricting visa access to Khalistan separatists; if that is true, it is a welcome step. Confiscating the property of Khalistan sympathisers and freezing their assets should be the next logical step No matter how hard the global press may twist the issue to attack India or the Modi government, which was chosen with a wide electoral support for the third time in 2024, the reality is that the visa of any country, including India, is a privilege and not a right. This week a report by Canadian news outlet Global News has made very interesting claims that the Indian government has started restricting visa access to Khalistan sympathisers, making it difficult for them to visit India. Some have even claimed that people whose visas have been denied by India are human rights activists, and they were simply exposing Modi government’s governance record and hence have been targeted in the form of visa denial. As there has been no official reaction to the report published by Canadian media from the Indian government yet, one cannot vouch for the veracity of the claim that India has indeed asked Khalistanis to sign letters denouncing support for the movement, but if it is true, then it is a highly commendable action by the Modi government.
