Nitasha Kaul, Professor at London바카라s University of Westminster, who was denied entry into India Sunday after she landed here for the Karnataka government바카라s conference on the Constitution, says she was given no reason by the immigration for denial to entry into India. She, however, said she is hopeful of returning to India.
바카라Why would not I be of hopeful of returning to India,바카라 she says.
바카라All my work is public and has been. I am a fully transparent individual, who takes the public part of public intellectual very seriously.바카라
She said that the immigration officials initially seemed to be confused and then they said the immigration officer was new and then they said, 바카라they have orders from Delhi and Delhi has instructed us not to allow you to enter into India.바카라
She said she was given no written documentation and no reason in writing. 바카라Only informal comments made by the immigration was that I have been critical of the RSS and its leaders,바카라 she said.
She said she didn바카라t receive any prior information from the government regarding the denial of the entry. 바카라I wouldn바카라t have taken the travel in the first place had they informed me earlier. I would have challenged it appropriately. This is a very busy time and the only reason I could attend the conference was that it was at the weekend. I was due to arrive on Friday and leave on Monday and be there for the conference on the weekend,바카라 she said.
After the abrogation of Article 370, in her testimony on 바카라Human Rights in South Asia: Views from the State Department and the Region, Panel II바카라 U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Asia, she had urged for the end all elements of siege in Kashmir valley and sought full restore mobile telephony and internet. She had also called for the demilitarisation of 바카라Indian administered Kashmir and Pakistan administered Kashmir바카라 and encouraging 바카라credible dialogues amongst Indians, Pakistanis and Kashmiris and ensure the respect for freedom and the right to self-determination of all people of Jammu and Kashmir.바카라
She said she has travelled to India numerous times after her testimony at the US Congress in 2019. 바카라I have no idea what seems to have changed now but I would imagine this is the project of stifling public opinion that is accelerating the momentum.바카라
Professor Kaul said the last time she left India was at the start of February and she had never encountered anything like this. 바카라This was the only time I was invited to India officially by a state government and this has resulted in all this,바카라 she added.
She said she is hopeful of returning to India. 바카라Why would not I be hopeful of returning to India? This is completely unjustified and wrong.바카라
바카라All my work is public and has been. I am a fully transparent individual, who takes the public part of public intellectual very seriously.바카라
바카라It is highly condemnable that the kind of hate, vitriol and threat leashed against me online which is playing there for all to see, is deeply misogynist, sexualised, slanderous and libellous in terms of all sorts of allegations against me like being pro-Pakistani, working for the ISI and all that. It is all rubbish. It is something that the government should think about, Indians should think about that voices in the public sphere that are independent, that are not pursuing any agendas, how are treated and how they are threatened.바카라 바카라This kind of thing is not new but it keeps accelerating all the time and the wish of harm and explicit thing like harming with bullets is completely and utterly condemnable. It is something that should worry people of Indian origin and people everywhere.바카라
바카라Re all the lies, I am not married to a Pakistani, not a Muslim convert, not a pawn of China, not a puppet of the West, not a commie, not a jihadi, not Pak sympathiser, not terrorist supporter, not anti-India, not part of a gang. I am what authoritarians fear- a thinking woman,바카라 she wrote today on X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti accused the BJP of 바카라weaponising바카라 passports and imposing 바카라illegal바카라 travel bans to 바카라harass and punish바카라 its critics.
Mufti바카라s charge came a day after Nitasha Kaul was denied entry when she landed at the Bengaluru airport. 바카라BJP is brazenly weaponising passports, revoking OCI cards & imposing illegal travel bans to harass & punish its critics. Aatish Taseer, Ashok Swain & now Nitasha Kaul. Stand in solidarity with Nitasha for the harrowing experience she was put through only because she doesnt agree with their hateful divisive ideology,바카라 Mufti said on X.
However, many like former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal, presently Chancellor of JNU, wrote, 바카라have seen video of prof Kaul spewing uncontrolled venom on Kashmir & BJP under Yogi Adityanath. Malevolent. For her to play victim card & pretend she doesn바카라t know reasons for her deportation is being mendacious. She was invited with mischievous intent. Govt rightly denied entry.바카라
