UAE issues stapled visa to residents of Pak Occupied Kashmir !!
The United Arab Emirates has begun issuing "stapled visas" to Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK) residents, including its "Prime Minister" Sardar Attique Ahmed, a media report said on Thursday.
The practice of issuing "stapled visas" is new and previously visas were stamped as usual on the passports, the Pakistan Observer newspaper reported on Thursday.
PaK "Prime Minister" Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan, who holds a Pakistani diplomatic passport, was issued a stapled visit visa by the UAE Embassy in Islamabad on Tuesday, the report said.
China had sparked a diplomatic row with India last year by issuing stapled visas to residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
