NEW DELHI (The Thursday Times) — Norway ki sahafi Helle Lyng, jinhon ne May mein Oslo mein Wazir-e-Azam Narendra Modi se azadi-e-sahafat par sawal kiya tha, kehti hain ke Bharat ne un ka visa mansookh kar diya hai aur unhein Hyderabad mein Bharat Summit se khitab ke liye safar karne se rok diya gaya hai.
“Mujhe Bharat ka visa mila tha aur mujhe aaj subah Hyderabad mein Bharat Summit mein shirkat ke liye rawana hona tha. Mujhe media aur azadi-e-sahafat ke mustaqbil par panelist aur muqarrir ke taur par mudoo kiya gaya tha. Lekin wazarat-e-dakhla mein «oopar se aane wale ahkamat» ne mera visa mansookh kar diya hai,” Oslo ke roznama Dagsavisen se wabasta Lyng ne Budh ko X par likha.
Bharati hukoomat ne un ke bayan par koi tabsira nahin kiya, aur Norway mein Bharati sifarat khane ne bhi koi bayan jari nahin kiya.
Azadi-e-sahafat par ek session
Lyng ka naam summit ke doosre din, 14 November, ko media aur jamhooriyat par ek session mein muqarrireen mein shamil hai, jis mein Press Club of India ki sadr Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty bhi shareek hon gi. Is session ki nizamat Congress ke rukn-e-parliament Pawan Khera ko karni hai, jo party ke shoba-e-iblagh ke sarbarah hain.
Wazir-e-Dakhla Amit Shah ke naam ek video paigham mein Lyng ne kaha ke un ke session mein abhi 48 ghante baqi hain aur unhein shirkat ki ijazat di jaye. Unhon ne kaha ke Oslo mein Bharati sifarat khane ne poore amal mein madad ki, aur yeh wazarat-e-dakhla hai jis ne unhein dakhle se roka “halanke mujhe visa mil chuka tha aur conference ke liye siyasi manzoori bhi thi”.
Oslo ka sawal
Lyng ne is faisle ko us sawal se joda jo unhon ne May mein Oslo mein Norway ke Wazir-e-Azam Jonas Gahr Støre ke sath mushtarka press peshi ke dauran Modi se poocha tha, jab unhon ne daryaft kiya ke woh us press ke sawalat kyun nahin lete jise unhon ne “duniya ki sab se azad press” kaha. Modi ne jawab nahin diya.
Yeh tabadla social media par bare paimane par phail gaya. Baad mein Bharati wazarat-e-kharja ke secretary Sibi George ki briefing mein Lyng ne hukkam se phir sawal kiya: “Hum aap par kyun bharosa karen?” Baad mein unhon ne kaha ke is waqiye ke baad unhein online bad-salooki ka samna karna para aur un ke social media accounts kuch arse ke liye muattal kar diye gaye.
Modi ne 2014 mein ohda sambhalne ke baad se Bharat mein koi khuli press conference nahin ki, jis par azadi-e-sahafat ki tanzeemen barha tanqeed kar chuki hain.
