Tel Aviv: Indian authorities have asked two British tourists to leave the country after they were found posting anti-Israel and pro-Palestine stickers in public areas of Pushkar, Rajasthan. The incident involved 36-year-old Louis Gabriel D and Anushi Emma Christine, who were visiting India on tourist visas, which prohibit participation in political activities.
The Rajasthan Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) initiated an inquiry after the stickers, which read “Free Palestine, Boycott Israel”, were reported on January 21. While both tourists apologized for their actions, authorities emphasized that such activities violate local regulations as well as visa terms. Consequently, the pair were issued notices to leave India immediately.
Israeli Social Media Praises India’s Action
The expulsion received widespread attention on Israeli social media. Hananya Naftali, commenting on X, wrote, “India took the right step by removing two British tourists from Pushkar who attempted to spread hatred against Israel. Maintaining zero tolerance for such acts is commendable.”
Another Israeli user, Michael Dixon, shared photos of the tourists being expelled, noting that their actions violated the terms of their tourist visas and targeted the Jewish state.
Authorities Emphasize Rule Enforcement
The CID clarified that posting such political messages in public spaces not only disrupts local harmony but also breaches the conditions of a tourist visa. The swift action to remove the offenders highlights India’s commitment to enforcing its laws while maintaining public order.
