Narendra Modi denied US Visa

"In a victory of sorts for various NRI groups, United States of America denied a diplomatic visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi", reports the Indian Express. Modi was also informed that his current tourist and business visas have been revoked with immediate effect.

Many groups, including blogs Sepia Mutiny and Saurav's Dark Days Ahead, had campaigned against Modi's US visit.

Modi will be adressing a press conference today afternoon to give his reactions, according to Rediff.
