Despite the setback the Foreign Office’s spokesperson tweeted; “Regrettable that India has not given visas to Pakistani journalists for the Kartarpur meeting tomorrow” in retrospect he further added, “More than 30 Indian journalists covered the Kartarpur groundbreaking ceremony in Pakistan last year. They also met the Prime Minister and were hosted by Foreign Minister for a dinner during their stay”.
