Asserting that there has been no change in its visa policy on Narendra Modi,the US has said the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate is welcome to apply for a visa and wait for a review like any other applicant.

“No change in our longstanding visa policy. He’s welcome to apply for a visa and await a review like any other applicant,” State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf told reporters at her daily news conference.

“Visa applications are confidential,or at least the details of them. I can check on that,but not to my knowledge,” Harf said when specifically asked if Modi has applied for a US visa.

In 2005,Modi was denied a diplomatic visa and his existing tourist and business visa was revoked under the Immigration and Nationality Act,which makes a foreign government official responsible for severe violations of religious freedom ineligible for a travel document.
