PAKISTANI-AMERICANS VISA REFUSAL - SOMEWHAT SIMILAR CONDITION PAKISTANI-BAHRAINIS FACE IN 2014 – FIRST TIME FURY AND UNITY IN PAKISTANI
COMMUNITY WITNESSED, HENCE RESULT!
Following the US State Department press briefing raising a question regarding visas of Pakistani-Americans being rejected for travelling to their homeland, the Pakistan Embassy in Washington has denied this allegation.
2. Till end 1970s Pakistanis used to be top in number expatriates working in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Due to the so called “awareness” created by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto amongst the working class that “مزدورو فیکٹری ٹمہاری ھے” resulted in uncontrolled unionism and the working class going out of any discipline, the number of Pakistanis started receding. First Indians and then Bangladeshis started taking over due to their low salary demand and untiring hard work with discipline. Today Pakistanis stand number three in the number game.
3. The Kingdom of Bahrain, one of the real welfare state remaining in the world, in recognition of the long services of the Pakistanis and their contribution in development of Bahrain, awarded Nationality to thousands of Pakistanis.
4. Today Pakistanis are on top in numbers having been honoured by the State with its nationality.
5. When Nawaz Sharif introduced the Overseas Pakistanis pick pocketing scheme in the name of a separate national identity card in English (NICOP), it was declared and is written on it that the holder of the Card even if holding a foreign nationality will be entitled to land Pakistan without a Visa.
6. January 2014 all of a sudden airlines in Bahrain stopped issuing tickets for Pakistan to the Bahraini Passport holders (Pakistani origins) unless they had a valid visa. Likewise at Bahrain airport, Immigration refused boarding unless one had a valid Pakistani Visa on the passport.
7. At Pakistani airports people coming back after their holidays in Pakistan were refused boarding cards without having a valid Pakistani Visa on their Bahraini Passports which could had regularized their stay in Pakistan entitling, then, return back.
8. There were lot of families who were stranded at Lahore and Karachi airports and their logical pleas that they came visa free on strength of their NICOPs, hence they should now, this time, are entitled to return back. These affected families allegedly had to reduce their pocket weight from Rs. 30,000 to 50,000 (then in 2014) to return timely on their duties. How did they arrange such amounts at airports is not a topic here, but being Pakistanis we can all well imagine.
9. There was a lot harassment amongst the Pakistani Origins as it had created a difficult situation. On their contact to the Pakistan Embassy they were told that the Pakistan Government had withdrawn the visa free entry facility but the very logical frustration was as to how all of a sudden without pre-announced and without giving a sufficient marge specially to those who had already gone to Pakistan and were to return on strength of their NICOP, could be done this?
10. Pakistan Club Bahrain was flooded with frustrated people. The club office bearers (and perhaps also the then Member in Bahrain of Overseas Pakistanis Council, Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Development) became active. The club then got a constitutional petition ready and for further course of action a meeting of concerned Pakistanis was conveyed in the Pakistan Embassy premises. I myself did not attend.
11. The audience was told by the Embassy that that it was a matter for the Government of Pakistan and not with it.
12. At this stage, a Pakistani, in frustration, showing extraordinary courage stood up flashing a folded paper in his hand, went to the dais and presented the same to the President, Pakistan Club. When the President read contents of it, it transpired it was a letter from the Community Welfare Attache, Pakistan Embassy Bahrain to the Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Islamabad.
13. The letter started with words that “it has come into knowledge of the Embassy” that having obtained Bahraini nationality and without informing that effect to the Embassy, such Pakistanis travel visa free to Pakistan on basis of their NICOPs on which an immediate Ban be placed.
14. The Deputy Secretary concerned, himself appearing to be from the سفارشی lot, hence naturally incompetent. He did not know that Pakistani constitution did not allow any discrimination on any ground and as such no ban could be imposed on a section of Pakistanis residing in a particular country while the rest remained exempt from such a ban. There was at this disclosure an uproar amongst the audience. The concerned Community Welfare Attache who too was present took the plea that one of his staff took his signature on the letter without his knowledge. It was a too foolish argument showing further that he had not just the خباثت ذہنی but was incompetent so much that staff could get his signature on anything legal or illegal. His Excellency the Ambassador “showed” his complete ignorance about this letter.
15. After this exposure and the wording of the Member Council that he was to take up the matter with the President whom only a month earlier met in Isllamabad, the same very Community Welfare Attache signed himself another letter, or perhaps once more got signed from him by some junior without Attache’ knowledge, informing the same very Dy. Secretary that the Law allowed the holder of NICOP visa free Entry hence the illegal ban imposed be removed. It was not written in this second letter the ban imposed by himself. Till that time in our most august Parliament the famous advice “ کوئ شرم ہوتی ہے کوئ حیا ہوتی ہےّ “ had not echoed.
16. The plea taken for imposing ban was that these Pakistanis after obtaining Bahraini Passports don’t inform this change to the Embassy. This in itself shows how disassociated our Embassies generally are from the community. Indian Embassies through the network of local Indian clubs & associations keep themselves in contact with almost every member of Indian community. Indian Embassy since decades invariably monthly holds an Open House for Indians to attend for any complaint, service, suggestion or general update.
17. Applying for a Renunciation Certificate is not mandatory for a Pakistani origin. It is the requirement of the country, under the law of that country, awarding nationality to a Pakistani to surrender his Pakistani nationality and then formalize the new nationality. If any “Shaagees” want that every Pakistani origin applied his Renunciation Certificate by presenting himself before the concerned Honourable “Shaagee”, then the “Shaagees” need to approach the Parliament, not any interior ministry deputy secretary, to amend the law to read that a Pakistani obtaining a foreign nationality automatically forthwith seizeed to hold his Pakistani nationality as the Indian “Shaagees” have legally done.
18. A million worth question arises, while in Bahrain there are only a few hundred Pakistani origins holding Bahraini passports while there are hundred times more in USA and UK. Did they all contacted Pakistan Embassy in Washington on obtaining US Passports to update their profile? Has any community welfare attache there courage “impose ban”?
19. The letter directing Islamabad to ban travel of Pakistani-Bahrainis on strength of their NICOP said to the had been got signed from the Community Welfare Attache without his knowledge explained that these Pakistanis on obtaining Bahraini nationality did not inform this fact to the Pakistan Embassy Bahrain. There could not be more bigger day light lie than this. This not just showed our bureaucrats can not just speak lies but are in effect mostly incompetent with empty skulls. When a Pakistani in Bahrain is “offered” Bahrain nationality, he is handed over a single page very simple Form with the advice to fill it up, attach so and so and return back with Passport Fee. This Form is Application Form for a new Passport. The Pakistani concerned, in no case whatsoever is able to submit it back unless first he approached the Pakistan Embassy. When the concerned Pakistani visits Pakistan Embassy, what for is that? Is this not that he has come to inform formally the Embassy that he was getting Bahraini Passport. Here comes the question of good governance and competency. His arrival to the Embassy in a good governance is taken into main data. In addition, when such a Pakistani origin with his Bahrain or any other passports lands at Karachi or Islamabad and presents his NICOP, the Immigration enters his arrival with his Passport No etc the main national profile of the person concern is automatically updated showing he was a Pakistani and now had a foreign Passport. But this simple thing is only for a competent bureaucrat.
20. US State Department briefings world over are taken extraordinarily serious. Tough the world capital keep a constant watch, live, on these briefings, yet the Embassies in US immediately transmit the relevant content to their respective Capital with their own comments or observations added. It is universally believed that where there is a smoke, beneath definitely there is a fire. Might be there in Washington a “Shaagee” sitting.
21. I said above I did not attend the meeting. Why? Because I had a bit information that “Shaagee” was trying for the nationality and the morning he got that, in the afternoon the ban will vanish in thin air.
Regards,
Muhammad Javed
Kingdom of Bahrain
