Avani Dias

Australian journalist Avani Dias stirred up a storm when she claimed that she was asked to leave India because of her reporting, a charge that the Centre has called 'misleading'.

The US on Thursday rebuked a Pakistani reporter's questions on allegations of an Australian journalist's claims not allowed to cover Indian general elections in India.

Responding to a senior Australian journalist's claims that she had to leave India abruptly on the day of voting for the Lok Sabha elections because her visa extension was denied, sources in the government have labelled them misleading.
