Our Missions/Posts do not insist on physical appearance/presence of the patients, especially those with medical conditions. There are no restrictions on issuance of  multiple-entry  Medical  Visas  to  applicants  and  as  such  most  of  our Missions/Posts issue multiple-entry Medical Visas to the applicants.
- (b) & (c) There are no advisories issued by the Government regarding issue of  Medical  Visas.  As  per  extant  instructions,  Medical  Visa  is  granted  to  a foreigner whose sole purpose is to seek medical treatment in established/recognized/specialized  Hospitals/Treatment  Centers  in  India.  One of  the  conditions  prescribed  for  grant  of  Medical  Visa  is  that  the  foreigner should be a person of assured financial standing. The production of a return ticket  and  availability  of  sufficient  money  to  spend  during  his  or  her  stay  in India  including  the  expenses  of  medical  treatment  is  normally  considered sufficient for this purpose. There are certain Customs Regulations with regard to  foreign  exchange/currency that can be brought into India. Apart from this, our High Commission in Islamabad issues a printed advisory (in English as well as Urdu) to all visa applicants, including Medical Visas, which mentions that it is illegal to carry Indian currency while entering India.

SHRI PINAKI MISRA:

Will the Minister of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

- (a) whether  a  former  President  of  a  neighbouring  country  had stated in one of their news channels that their army had been training terrorists for creating disturbances in our country; and
- (b) if  so,  the  details  thereof  and  reaction  of  the  Government thereto?

## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS [GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD)]

- (a) & (b) Yes. Government had noted an interview on 25 October 2015 to a Pakistani news channel by former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf wherein he stated that Pakistan Government had an  active  role  in  creating,  training  and  giving  other  support  to Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) and other terrorist groups to conduct antiIndia activities in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Government maintains its position that using terrorism as an instrument of State policy is unacceptable. Continued terrorism directed  against  India  emanating  from  territory  under  Pakistan's control remains a core concern for us. India has repeatedly called upon  Pakistan  to  abide  by  its  commitment  made  and  repeated  on several  occasions  at  the  highest  level  for  not  allowing  territory under  its  control  for  aiding  and  abetting  in  any  manner  terrorism directed  against  India.  It  has  also  been  stressed  that  Pakistan should  take  determined  and  effective  action  to  dismantle  terrorist infrastructure on the territory under its control.
