| | Is 'stopping tourism' India's Diplomacy ?
Imagine you are a group of people liking India, and you would like to go there again, from Greece. Well: it didn't work because of an obstacle at the Embassy of India in the Greek capital Athens... The obstacle is Mr. Kumar's "Indian Diplomacy"...
Thought you might like to know this: seen as constructive criticism L.S. ! We regret to inform you about this, but this Indian diplomat is harming India's image: Full story, also on Indymedia in Greece:  http://tinyurl.com/4s55m For the FPF- the Netherlands and in Greece. Henk Ruyssenaars Editor The complaints - with c.c.'s - have initially been send to the Embassy of India in Greece - Athens:  indembassy@ath.forthnet.gr but it didn't help...
A NEARLY TOTALLY BOTCHED VISIT TO INDIA  fpf@chello.nl http://tinyurl.com/4s55mConc. the complaint above, mr. Kumar and the visa: The FPF is pleased to announce that apparently Mr. Kumar - the consul at the Embassy of India in Greece, "has seen the light". The problem with the visa for a group of Greek people - who wanted to vacation in India again - has been solved. It is a pity however, that of the group - which originally counted up to thirty people - only one person finally was left. The [Dutch] correspondent of the Foreign Press Foundation in Greece - Mr. Anthony Bruyns-Slot - this time was treated cordially, and so was his wife Maria. The responses from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Ministry for Tourism, Air India etc. in India, have been heartwarming for the people who like India. The FPF regrets that the situation requiered some publicity, but expects no further negative effects of mr. Kumar's behaviour which now has been corrected. respectfully, Henk Ruyssenaars - Editor Foreign Press Foundation The Netherlands |
