US shuts door on Modi again New Delhi, March 21 Washington, however, maintained that the decision applied only to Mr Modi and not to his party BJP or the Gujarati community. “The Ministry of External Affairs requested the Department of State to review the decision to revoke his (Modi’s) tourist/business visa. Upon review, the State Department re-affirmed the original decision,” US Ambassador to India David C. Mulford told reporters here. He said the decision was “based on the fact” that as head of the Gujarat Government between February and May 2002, “he was responsible for the performance of state institutions at that time.”
India regrets decision India today regretted that the USA had not revised its decision not to grant visa to Mr Modi in spite of its request for an urgent reconsideration. —
