Canadian Immigration authorities on Sunday refused entry to two AAP MLAs — Kultar Singh Sandhwan (Faridkot) and Amarjit Singh Sandoa (Ropar). Sent back from the Ottawa airport, they are likely to reach New Delhi on Monday morning, said sources.

While the reason for them being turned away could not be ascertained, three AAP MLAs said the authorities were not convinced about the purpose of their visit. Accompanied by Sandoa, Sandhwan had reportedly gone to visit his sister who lives in Ottawa. Sandoa is facing a case of alleged molestation. State co-convener Dr Balbir Singh said Sandoa had taken permission from a Ropar court to go abroad. — TNS
