Scribe asked to leave India

New Delhi July 7. Apparently unhappy with his reporting on Kashmir and Gujarat, India has ordered the Al Jazeera correspondent, Nasir M. Shadid, to leave the country within a week, sources said today.

Al Jazeera, which won international popularity for its exclusives on the world's most wanted man, Osama bin Laden, in the wake of the September 11 attacks and during the Afghan war, will, however, continue to air its Indian news as another correspondent, Rifat, will take over. The channel was informed by External Affairs Ministry officials that Shadid was not welcome in India.
