Pakistani woman living in Odisha for 35 years ordered to leave India
New Delhi: A Pakistani national who has been residing in India for more than 35 years has been asked to leave the country following the cancellation of her visa. Odisha Police issued the expulsion order to Sarada Bai, warning that legal action would be taken if she fails to comply.
Sarada Bai, who married into a Hindu family in Bolangir district decades ago, has two children and grandchildren born in India. Despite living in the country for such a long time and possessing important documents like a voter ID, she was never granted Indian citizenship.
Pleading with folded hands, Sarada Bai requested the authorities to allow her to stay. "I have no one in Pakistan. Even my passport is very old. I request the government to let me live here. I have two grown children, grandchildren... I wish to live here as an Indian," she said, expressing her emotional appeal.
While her situation has drawn public sympathy, officials in Bolangir have made it clear that the matter will be dealt with according to legal procedures.
