After Prime Minister Manmohan Singh personally intervened, the US embassy on Tuesday issued a visa to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s lone Muslim MP Syed Shahnawaz Hussain to fly to New York for attending a UN General Assembly session, a day after four of his parliamentary colleagues left for the US.

Hussain could not join the parliamentary delegation, which left for the US on Monday night after the US authorities delayed issuing him the visa.
