Ministry of External Affairs grants visas to Pakistani actors

NEW DELHI: Despite ongoing tensions with Pakistan, the Indian government issued visas to Pakistani actors Adnan Siddiqui and Sajal Ali, a report in the Mumbai Mirror said.

Ever since the Uri attack last September, Indo-Pakistan relations have deteriorated due to incendiary statements and cross-border firing by Pakistan. Many Pakistani artists were forced to leave India, after chauvinistic parties like the MNS threatened them. Actors Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan were unable to promote their films and had to return to their country in the face of threats from far-right political party Shiv Sena.

However, the Ministry of External Affairs on Saturday granted visas to Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui and actress Sajal Ali so they can complete the filming of their movie in the country.
