South
African player Imran Tahir posted on his twitter account that Imran & his family
were not treated well by Pakistan consulate staff when he went to seek visa to

“Me
with my family were humiliated & expelled from Pak High Commission earlier

Imran Tahir claims Pakistan consulate staff mistreated him & his family when he went to seek visa
The
doubts were cleared about the authenticity of his account & it was
confirmed by an official of Cricket South Africa that it is Imran Tahir’s account.
Imran
told that he had to wait for 5 hours & was expelled from the consulate. The
matter was sorted out after the intervention of Pakistan’s High Commissioner to
UK Ibne Abbas. He said that the staff issued him the visa after Ibne Abbas instructed
them.

Imran
wrote on twitter, “I have undergone a very unfortunate situation in Pakistan
Consulate Birmingham today. I had visited the consulate to secure our Pakistani
visas with my family members,”.
Imran
further said, “After going through a painful trauma of waiting for long five
hours, I was expelled by the staff explaining that office hours are over and
they are closing the consulate,”.
He
added, “It is an irony that being a Pakistani origin South African cricketer
and intending to play in World XI was treated miserably. Hats off of High
Commissioner Ibne Abbas who rescued me,”.
UK
sources narrate another tale which alleges that Imran stepped into the
Birmingham Consulate without required documents.
“The
staff explained to Imran Tahir that we don’t facilitate visas for foreign
nationals from third countries, the three people accompanying Imran Tahir
should have applied for Pakistan visa from their own country and not from the
UK, a third country. He came to the Consulate without any visa forms but the
Consulate General facilitated him in every possible way.”
Imran
Tahir did not read the rules as it is properly explained on the website that it
takes at least 5 days to get visa for Pakistan.
