Will Seema Haider Be Deported? India’s Crackdown on Pakistan Raises Big Questions
Seema Haider, a Pakistani woman living illegally in India, may face deportation as India cancels all Pakistani visas after the Pahalgam terror attack. Her case, tied to her romantic relationship with an Indian man, is still under court review, sparking public and legal debate.1111111
Greater Noida – In the wake of the recent terror strike in Pahalgam, the Indian government has adopted a strong diplomatic position against Pakistan by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, closing the Attari border post, cancelling visas of all Pakistani citizens, and directing them to depart India within 48 hours. In the backdrop of these broad decisions, the focus has returned once again to Seema Haider, the Pakistani woman illegally residing in India with her partner Sachin Meena.
Seema Haider illegally entered India from Nepal, with no passport or valid visa, and has lived in Rabupura, Greater Noida, with Sachin ever since. The duo claims to have been married and even have a child between them.
Legal Uncertainty Clouds Seema Haider's Status
Whereas the recent measures by the Indian government aim at Pakistanis possessing valid visas, Seema's case is complicated legally. She has not acquired Indian citizenship and her arrival into India is an ongoing court case.
Seema has consistently maintained that she feels India is home to her now and wants to live and die in India. In spite of embracing Hinduism and professing to adopt Indian traditions, her illegal entry into India remains a legal and political issue.
Social Media Is Abuzz with Reactions
The question "Will Seema Haider be deported to Pakistan?" is trending on social media, and users have been sharing some very strong views:
- Some call for her to be deported back to Pakistan at once.
- Others condemn the media for making her a social media star.
- They argue that she should be permitted to remain on the basis of her marriage and family in India.
The Backstory: PUBG Love Story Turned National Debate
Seema had met Sachin Meena on the game PUBG, and this resulted in a long-distance relationship. She later divorced her Pakistani husband, crossed over the border with her four kids, and came to settle in India. Now a mother to Sachin's child too, Seema's presence has been a legal and emotional flashpoint.
With no passport, no visa, and no officially recognized citizenship status, her future may soon depend on what the Indian government and judiciary decide to do about cases involving illegal immigration as the bilateral relationship worsens.
