Modi was denied visa by previous govt: Kerry

Published on: 

In perhaps the first explanation of the US denial of visa for Narendra Modi, the Obama Administration on Thursday said the decision was taken by the “previous” Government. “It’s a very big deal.  Different government, it’s a different Government now.  Just like it is here.  We will welcome Prime Minister Modi.”He is going to get a welcome. Of course, he will get a visa. No question whatsoever. And we look forward to a terrific meeting with President Obama in September,” Secretary of State John Kerry told NDTV on Thursday.He was replying to a question whether the refusal of visa (by the Bush administration) was a mistake as the US Government has done a complete turn around now.Kerry said there was no gain in discussing the past.
