China has given India business deal, says activist after visa was denied

April 29, 2016 09:42

Chinese activist Lu Jinghua, who alleges that she was about to board a flight to New Delhi at New York's JFK airport on Monday when she was told that her visa had been cancelled, says India is the first country to deny her entry after China.

"I 100 per cent believe it's the Chinese government's pressure on India. I think China has given an economic business deal to India in exchange, she was quoted as saying by NDTV.

Lu Jinghua, a leader of the Tiananmen Square student protests, has an American passport and says she has never been denied visa by any other country.

At the airport, she says, Air India informed her that her visa had been cancelled.

Government sources said yesterday that she hadn't been issued a visa at all as her documents were "illegible" and revealed inconsistencies with the stated purpose of her visit.
