Norway Journalist Denied Entry to Bharat Summit as Visa Is Revoked

The central government has revoked the visa of Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng, who was scheduled to attend the Bharat Summit organised by the Congress party in Hyderabad. The journalist revealed that she received information about the decision from the Union Home Ministry just ten minutes before leaving for the airport. The last-minute development has prevented her from travelling to Hyderabad to participate in the event.

Helle Lyng alleged that her visa was revoked for political reasons because she had previously criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The summit organisers stated that she had been invited to speak on issues concerning press freedom and democracy. The incident has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the visa cancellation and could spark wider debate.
