A 15-year-old girl from Ludhiana, who publicly vowed to hoist the national flag at the historic Lal Chowk here and had dared the separatists to stop her, was turned back by authorities on Sunday from the Srinagar International Airport.
Jhanvi Behal accompanied by 30 others arrived at the airport but all of them were sent back, a police official said, without assigning any reason for the step.
Ms. Behal had grabbed the headlines earlier this year after she challenged Jawaharlal Nehru University student leader Kanhaiya Kumar to a debate on nationalism.
