Anupam Kher declines visa offer by Pak High commissioner Abdul Basit

New Delhi, Feb 3 (UNI) A day after his claim of having been denied visa by the Pakistan Government to visit the Karachi literary festival, Bollywood actor Anupam Kher today received an offer for a travel visa from Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit. The actor, however, declined the offer saying that he had given away the dates earmarked for the festival. Pakistan envoy Abdul Basit yesterday called up Anupam Kher, offered him a visa to travel to Karachi. Kher, however, declined the offer by Mr Basit saying that he had already taken up other assignments on the dates on which he had planned to visit Pakistan to attend the Karachi Literary Festival for which he had been invited. The telephone call by Mr Basit came after Kher yesterday claimed that he was the only one of 18 people invited to the festival to have been denied permission to attend the Karachi event. The actor alleged that the decision may have been influenced by his stand on the issue of Kashmiri Pandits and his support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The offer by Mr Basit was repeated today in a tweet by the Pakistan High commissioner to India. "@AnupamPkher you are always welcome Sir. You are a great artiste; we respect and admire you", Basit tweeted today. Replying to him, Kher tweeted, "Thank you Mr. @abasitpak1 for your call & offering me visa to visit Karachi. I appreciate it. Unfortunately I've given away those dates now." UNI AR JW RSA 1643
