Feb 20, 2020

New Delhi, Feb 20 (ANI): Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) clarified that India refused United Kingdom MP Debbie Abrahams' entry because she does not have a valid visa, further MEA also said that parliamentarian statements and ideology are anti-India. "She came here without a valid visa so we sent her back with due respect from Delhi Airport. We believe that her statements and ideology are anti-India. There is a sustained campaign from her side against India," said MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar. Debbie Abrahams, Labour Party MP in the British Parliament, went to Pakistan on Wednesday, two days after she was denied entry into India. While reacting on the reports of China objecting to Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Arunachal Pradesh, MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "It's an integral part of India. Indian leaders routinely travel to the State as they do to any other states of India. Objecting to visit of an Indian leader to any state in India doesn't stand to reason."
