India Protesting against Pakistan for blocking consular access to Sikh pilgrims
Not only did Pakistan deny access to consular services, it even snubbed the Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria, who was turned away while on his way to meet the pilgrims at the shrine.
The MEA had yesterday said a group of around 1,800 Sikh pilgrims are on a visit to Pakistan from April 12 under a bilateral agreement on facilitating visits to religious shrines. ".these incidents constitute a clear violation of the Vienna Convention of 1961, the bilateral Protocol to visit Religious Shrines, 1974 and the Code of Conduct [for the treatment of diplomatic/consular personnel in India and Pakistan] of 1992, recently reaffirmed by both countries", it said. "A strong protest was lodged at attempts being made during the ongoing visit of the Sikh pilgrims from India to Pakistan to raise the issue of "Khalistan" by making inflammatory statements and displaying posters" at various places of pilgrimage in Pakistan, the ministry said.
Dr Faisal said it was deeply regrettable that facts in the matter had been completely distorted and misrepresented. Also, the MEA added, "The team could not meet the pilgrims on their arrival at Wagah Railway Station on April 12".
Pakistan is wrong to have denied consular access to Indian pilgrims on a recent trip by Sikh devotees to Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Rawalpindi. Thus, the commissioner was prevented from carrying out his protocol duties.
Photographic evidence has emerged that Pakistan based terror-outfits Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) are backing Sikh militants with an aim to malign India, as LeT's chief Hafiz Saeed is seen with Sikh militant leader Gopal Singh Chawla in Lahore.
