Indian visa revoked for Afghan nationals living outside India, Home Ministry took a big step for the security of the country.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has canceled the Indian visa of all Afghan nationals residing outside India. Citizens of Afghanistan will now be able to travel to India only by taking a new e-Visa.
The decision has been taken in the wake of reports of a large number of Afghan nationals missing their passports and Indian visas issued to them after the Taliban capture in Kabul.
In view of the threat to the security of the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs took the step
According to highly placed sources in the MHA, the disappearance of passports of Afghan nationals and the Indian Visa 4 issued for them in Kabul had raised concerns about the security of the country.
By misusing these already issued visas, any terrorist organization can try to send its terrorists to India. Given the links of Pakistan-based terror outfits like JeM and LeT with the Taliban, this is undeniable.
It is also feared that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI may also be behind the disappearance of passports and visas of Afghan citizens.
