Even as politics heats up over the black list of former militants settled abroad, the Centre’s reply to an RTI application says there is no such list. Satnam Singh Dhaliwal, president of an NGO, Universal Human Rights Organisation, had asked for a copy of the list from the Ministry of External Affairs. The application was transferred to the regional passport office by ministry, saying that the subject matter is more closely connected with their functioning. The reply by Deputy Passport Officer Bidhi Chand, dated January 18, denies the existence of any black list. Dhaliwal is mulling an appeal to get more information.
