Rajagopal

Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan confirmed that journalist R. Rajagopal's passport was renewed. Rajagopal, an editor of The Telegraph, faced renewal issues due to an adverse verification report from Kolkata police, which cited his name's removal from the West Bengal electoral roll during a special revision.

Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan has requested West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's assistance to resolve the passport renewal issue of journalist R. Rajagopal. The process is stalled due to an adverse police verification report from Kolkata police.

The opposition is citing former The Telegraph editor Rajagopal's passport and voter roll ordeal to target the Centre. Rajagopal's ordeal is related to passport and voter roll matters.

Indian journalists have criticized the denial of voting and passport rights to a prominent editor. Rajagopal claims he cannot renew his passport after being removed from the electoral rolls.
