A day after British MP Debbie Abrahams was denied entry into India, the government explained that the denial was because of her “involvement in anti-India activities”.

The British parliamentarian who has been critical about the Modi government’s move on Jammu and Kashmir, was deported from the Delhi airport on Monday when she arrived on an Emirates flight to visit her friends and family.

Sources in the government told India Today that she was on an e-Business visa and was intimated of the “rejection” on Friday itself because of her activities which went against India’s interest.

“Her e-Business Visa was revoked on 14 February 2020 on account of her indulging in activities which went against India’s national interest. The rejection of the e-Business Visa was intimated to her on 14th February”, said a source.
