Non-Governmental Organisation Greenpeace today said that an Australian staff member has been barred from entering India despite holding a valid visa. The Greenpeace has alleged that Mr Aaron Gray-Block was on his way to meetings in India when immigration officials stopped him at the New Delhi airport on Saturday night and put him on a flight to Kuala Lumpur without explanation.
The environmental group in a statement said, his passport was seized and only returned to him once he had landed in the Malaysian capital . AIR correspondent quoting sources reports, Home ministry officials were looking into the matter after seeing media reports on it. In April, the Centre withdrew Greenpeace’s foreign funding licence, citing violations of rules by opening accounts for foreign donations without informing authorities.
