New Delhi: Two British tourists asked to leave India for pasting pro-Palestine stickers
New Delhi: Two British nationals who entered India on a tourist visa have been directed to leave the country after they were found pasting stickers in support of Palestine and against Israel at public places in Ajmer, Rajasthan.
The action was taken against Lewis Gabriel D. and his partner Anushi Emma Christine after the Rajasthan intelligence department alerted the district police, NDTV reported.
On January 21, intelligence received information that the couple was involved in the sticker-pasting. Based on CCTV footage and local verification, officials identified the two foreign nationals.
The stickers pasted by the duo were also removed by the police, who interrogated the two British nationals. Following the interrogation by a team led by additional superintendent of police (CID) Rajesh Meena, authorities concluded that the two had engaged in political activities while staying in India on tourist visas, which is a violation of visa conditions.
Thereafter both their visas were revoked after the authorities took action under the Immigration and Foreigners Act and issued a “Leave India Notice”, directing them to leave the country, the report said.
The incident comes to light Just days after the visit of Palestinian foreign minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin to New Delhi to participate in the 2nd India-Arab Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. During her visit, Shahin said India could play a mediating role between Israel and Palestine and also contribute to the reconstruction of Gaza, citing India’s ties with both sides and its long-standing support for Palestine.
