The South Asia Bureau Chief of the American Broadcasting Company Avani Das made false allegations that she had to leave Bharat due to the non-extension of her visa by the Modi government.
The controversial journalist also alleged that the Bharatiya government had plans to not allow her to cover the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Her employer ABC News published a controversial article claiming that Dias received a phone call from the Ministry of External Affairs and was informed about the denial of her visa extension.
The publication said that MEA informed the journalist that she crossed a line with her propaganda-laden YouTube video, which suggested that Bharat was involved in the assassination of Canada-based Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The Modi government directed YouTube to withhold the anti-Bharat propaganda video by ABC News and its South Asia Bureau Chief Avani Dias.
‘This content is currently unavailable in this country because of an order from the government related to national security’ reads a message on the YouTube link of the video.
In March 2024, the Australian Hindu Media lambasted the South Asia Bureau Chief of ABC News for attempting to give a clean chit to Khalistani extremists and insinuating the role of Hindus in the vandalism of the Shree Laxmi Narayan Temple in Brisbane.
