Pak. 'blacklists' Tehelka journalist; sends her back

New Delhi, : Noted journalist Harinder Baweja was deported from Pakistan soon after she landed in Lahore.
Baweja, editor (investigations) with Tehelka Weekly newspaper, who returned to Delhi late last night, said that Pakistani authorities told her at Lahore airport that she had been "blacklisted for visa violations" because of which she could not enter the country.
She said she was sent back although she had a valid seven-day visa.
The scribe said she sought to know the reasons for her being "blacklisted" but the Pakistani authorities did not spell out any.
"I told them that I have travelled to Pakistan at least ten times," she said.
She said that if Pakistan government did not want her to visit that country, its High Commission should not have issued the visa in the first place.
