The Lakshadweep administration has refused to grant Left MPs from Kerala a permit to enter the union territory, citing Covid.
This comes days after the administration denied permission to a group of Congress MPs who wanted to visit the island.
Left MPs Elamaram Kareem, V Sivadasan, AM Arif among others had sought permission to visit Lakshadweep to have a fact check on the impact of administrative actions and reforms under the present Administrator, Praful Khoda Patel .
Lakshadweep administration has declared that in case such visits are allowed there will be "every possibility of public gathering and such gathering may lead to Covid spread in the islands".
Permission has also been denied on grounds that political activities will be against the interest of the general public as well as the security of the union territory.
