Delegation of opposition leaders comprising Rahul Gandhi, Ghulam Nabi Azad, D Raja, Sharad Yadav, Manoj Jha, Majeed Memon, and others that had reached Srinagar was sent back.

The delegation arrived at Delhi airport a while ago.

After arriving at Delhi airport, Rahul Gandhi said, "Some days ago I was invited by Governor to visit Jammu and Kashmir. I accepted the invitation. We wanted to get a sense of what people are going through, but we weren't allowed beyond the airport.

"Press people with us were mishandled, beaten. It's clear that situation in J&K isn't normal."

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "We weren't allowed to go to the city, but the situation in J&K is terrifying. The stories we heard from the passengers of Kashmir present in our flight, would bring tears even to a stone." -- ANI
