But he immediately rejected India’s concern that the reason for the Afghan Visa had been blocked was because the Afghan Passport with a legitimate Indian visa could be misused by other countries.
“I don’t believe that this fear is needed. It doesn’t have a basis. That is not rational, “Balkhi said. That is why, he added, countries have a consular visa and wing section, to prevent incidents like this from happening.
