Indian-Origin Academic Deported Amid Political Controversy

Nitasha Kaul's deportation from Bengaluru airport over alleged anti-India sentiments sparks debate on freedom of speech and national integrity.

Nitasha Kaul, an Indian-origin British academic, was deported from Bengaluru airport over the weekend due to alleged 'anti-India, pro-separatist sentiments'.
Kaul refutes claims against her, stating she is not anti-India or a supporter of separatism, and criticizes the Indian government's actions as a display of insecurity.
The Karnataka government had invited Kaul to a conference, but she was denied entry based on 'orders from Delhi', despite having valid travel documents.
The BJP accuses the Congress-ruled Karnataka of inviting a 'Pakistani sympathiser' and threatening India's unity, while Kaul and supporters argue for freedom of speech.
Kaul's deportation has sparked a political controversy, with both sides exchanging accusations over constitutional values and national integrity.
