Professor Invited By Karnataka Government For Conference Allegedly Deported, BJP Says Congress Invited Pakistani Sympathiser
Nitasha Kaul
A professor at London's University of Westminster, Nitasha Kaul has alleged that she was invited by the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government to a conference but the Centre denied her entry.
According to Indian Express, Kaul landed for the two-day conference early Friday morning and was sent back on the next direct flight on Saturday morning. She was detained at the airport during this period.
Kaul alleged that she was given no reason by immigration for deportation and the officials cited "orders from Delhi" for sending her back. She highlighted that this happened despite having all valid documents.
Notably, Kaul is known for denying the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits, advocating for Kashmir's secession from India, supporting Pakistan and criticising Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Hindutva.
Responding to this development, BJP's Karnataka unit posted on X, "Congress party has disgraced Indian Constitution by inviting a Pakistani sympathiser who wants India's break up."
"It is now apparent that the Congress party is now using Karnataka as its laboratory to prepare the ground for its divisive agendas, potentially undermining national unity and integrity," it added.
BJP also alleged that the Congress government is channeling funds from Karnataka's taxpayers' money to "Terrorist-Sympathisers, Urban Naxals, Anti-Nationals, Riots-accused to destabilise India ahead of elections."
Thanking security agencies for sending back an "anti-India element" BJP said that Siddaramaiah is happy to finance the Break India Brigade in an effort to appease Rahul Gandhi and save his CM Chair.
