April 23, 2016 08:52

In what is being seen as payback to Chinas move to shield Pathankot terror attack mastermind and Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, India has granted visa to a prominent Chinese dissident leader, who has been accused of being a terrorist by Beijing, to participate in a conference in Dharamsala.

Dolkun Isa, a World Uyghur Congress leader who resides in Germany, has been invited to the conference being organised by US-based Initiatives for China.

Munich-based Dolkun Isa has been accused by Beijing of terrorism and conspiracy to kill people in Xinjiang in Chinas remote northwest. The WUC is a grouping of the Uyghur community in exile.
