2015 Priya Pillai offloading

The Priya Pillai offloading of January 2015 was an incident in India where an environmental activist was offloaded from a flight in order to prevent her from testifying internationally on the activity of a firm registered in the UK.

Later, the Ministry of Home Affairs (India) argued that her deposition before a British parliamentary committee would have been "prejudicial to national interest" In its judgment, the Delhi High Court observed that dissent "may not be palatable; even so, it cannot be muzzled."

The incident has been widely discussed in India as evidence suggesting a possible trend towards eroding Freedom of expression in India under the Bharatiya Janata Party government. International media has also been critical of the Narendra Modi Government. Provided by Wikipedia
