Citing “malicious reportage” and visa violations, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has served a notice on a French journalist seeking an explanation why the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card allotted to her should not be cancelled.
The development comes days before the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron who is the chief guest at the Republic Day parade this year.
The journalist, Vanessa Dougnac, a French national, is married to an Indian and has been living in India for 22 years. She writes for French publications such as Le Point and La Croix.
