115 of 315 speakers for Bharat Summit denied entry to India, what a shame: Tharoor

Congress' Shashi Tharoor alleged that 115 of 315 speakers for Congress' Bharat Summit in Hyderabad were denied entry or had their visas cancelled, apparently on MHA's instructions. "What a shame that a proud democracy has become so insecure…that it must stifle any voices it fears will be critical!" he said. Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng Svendsen claimed her visa was cancelled.
