The Pakistan government should explain on what grounds actor Anupam Kher was denied a visa to travel to that country, the BJP said on Wednesday, while noting that India has been "liberal" in granting visas to Pakistani artistes.
"Why has Pakistan singled out and discriminated against the noted Bollywood artiste. The Pakistan government should clarify as well as rectify its mistake," BJP secretary Shrikant Sharma said, adding that India has been liberal in granting visas to Pak artistes. Exchange of artistes helps promote peace and improves ties among people, he said.
