Pakistan issues visa to Indian national to meet his brother

If there is political will, even the impossible could become possible between Pakistan and India as far as people-to-people contact is concerned. This became evident on Friday, especially at a time when bilateral relations are at an all-time low.

First, while visas for citizens of both countries are very difficult to acquire, Pakistan issued a visa to an Indian national who had not met his brother for 74 years. Later, India announced that it was prepared to engage with Pakistan to increase the number of shrines visits and modes of travel between pilgrims on both sides.

The Pakistan High Commission on Friday issued a visa to Indian national Sika Khan to visit Pakistan and meet his family.

Recently, Sika Khan had reunited with his brother Muhammed Siddique at the visa-free Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, after 74 years as they had been separated in 1947 during Partition.
