Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng claims her Indian visa was cancelled at the last minute, preventing her from attending the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad, where she was invited to speak on media, press freedom, and democracy. Lyng alleges that despite having a valid visa and political clearance, the Indian Embassy in Norway informed her she would not be allowed to travel to India. She attributes the decision to 'orders from above' in the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Indian government has not commented on her claims.
