‘Ball Is In Your Court’: Norwegian Journalist Helle Lyng’s Visa Appeal To Amit Shah

Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng has appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah after claiming that her Indian visa was cancelled at the last minute, preventing her from attending the Congress-organised Bharat Summit in Hyderabad.In a video message addressed to Shah, Lyng said she had received a visa and political clearance but was stopped from travelling shortly before leaving for the airport. She alleged that the decision came from the Ministry of Home Affairs and questioned whether she would be allowed to enter India in time for the summit.Lyng also suggested that her earlier questioning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Norway may have played a role. A response from the Centre to her allegations is awaited.
