Pakistan grants visa to Sika Khan to visit his brother from whom he was separated in 1947 as a baby

Visas should not be an exception. #India #Pakistan need to expedite visas to allow families to reunite, friends to visit, tourists to travel, business people to trade, and for cultural exchanges to take place.

We renew our call for a #visafree #SouthAsia - there is no reason people should have to wait decades to reunite with their loved ones. #SikaKhan #MilneDo@southasiapeace 

Meanwhile, we welcome the announcement by India's Ministry of External Affairs that it is “positive” and “willing to engage” with Pakistan to discuss a proposal from the Pakistan Hindu Council for pilgrims from both sides to be allowed to fly to religious destinations rather than take the circuitous border route by foot.
