New Delhi: CPI(M) today dubbed as "absurd"
conditions set by Maharashtra government to suspend the
deportation of Nepali FTII student Neetu Singh.
"The conditions in the order of Maharashtra government
for suspending the deportation are absurd and additional
injustice against Neetu," senior CPI(M) Polit Bureau member
Brinda Karat told PTI.
Neetu's deportation allegedly for "anti-India activities"
over a month ago had attracted criticism from political
parties and women's organisations who demanded that the Centre
should intervene and get the deportation revoked.
It was alleged that the deportation was ordered by Pune
Police at the instance of her estranged husband Amaresh Singh,
an influential Nepalese politician.
Neetu, a student of Film and Television Institute of
India, Pune, has been allowed to return to India under a set
of conditions that will help her complete her studies.
The conditions includes a ban on talking to media, stay
within the campus and bar on approaching any local court.
Karat said the Maharashtra government reconsidered the
decision on deporting her due to the Central government's
intervention and hoped that there will be further intervention
from Delhi to withdraw these "absurd" conditions.
The purpose of the state government to suspend
deportation is only to cover up the "mistakes" it had made,
she alleged.
