Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

On this one, I think its the Indian stars who are blowing this up and letting their star egos get in the way. Someone needed to step in and cool the situation. Why escalate.
I think the Pakistanis should have given him the visa and been gracious. So, this was a messup there. But I also think that Javed A. and others in India should also have been more gracious. This is a story of beureacratic pettiness on the part of the visa staff and over-inflated superstar ego on the part of Mr. Akhter.
