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.

“Goli maro…” slogan raised as ABVP-linked group disrupts play at University of Hyderabad
Hyderabad: A group allegedly linked to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) disrupted a theatre performance at the University of Hyderabad on Sunday evening. The group is also accused of vandalising property and assaulting students.
Slogans such as “Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maro…” were raised during the incident, according to eyewitnesses.
According to the Observer Post, the disruption happened as Mahesh Elkunchwar's play Holi was being staged at the Department of Theatre Arts' GB Hall. The group reportedly objected to certain portions of the play, claiming that some phrases hurt religious sentiments.
According to accounts from those present, the situation escalated when individuals forced their way into the venue after damaging fixtures and breaking glass panels outside the auditorium. Students attempting to intervene were reportedly assaulted, and a guest faculty member was allegedly threatened.
Several students sustained injuries and were provided initial treatment at the campus health centre before being shifted to a nearby hospital.
Police later arrived at the scene, brought the situation under control, and escorted those inside the hall to safety. Witnesses said tensions remained high, with some members of the group continuing to raise slogans during the evacuation.
