'Please Let Me Stay Here...': Seema Haider Appeals To PM Modi, Yogi Amid Deportation Fear
Seema Haider, a Pakistani national who left her husband in her home country and illegally moved to India in 2023 to marry her lover Sachin Meena, is now facing trouble amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
Recently, the video of Seema Haider went viral on social media, in which she made an emotional appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, requesting permission to stay in India.
"I was once a daughter of Pakistan, but now I am the daughter-in-law of India. Please let me stay here," she said in a video.
The Government of India has announced the cancellation of all visas issued to Pakistani nationals effective April 27, while medical visas will remain valid only until April 29. As a result, all Pakistani nationals residing in India have been instructed to leave the country. The decision comes in the wake of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, in which 26 people were killed.
How Sachin-Seema Haider's Love Story Began
Seema Haider is from the Sindh province of Pakistan. In 2023, she illegally entered India via Nepal. She claims to have married Sachin Meena, a resident of Greater Noida and has also converted to Hinduism. The two first met in 2019 while playing an online game together.

Pak student in Canada caught plotting terror in America against Jews
Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani national, was extradited to the U.S. for plotting a terrorist attack targeting a Jewish neighbourhood in New York City on October 7, 2024, timed with the first anniversary of the Hamas assault on Israel. According to prosecutors, Khan coordinated with undercover U.S. agents, seeking to acquire AR-style rifles, ammunition, and tactical gear for a mass-casualty attack. He intended to cross into the U.S. from Canada and carry out the assault himself when he was intercepted in Quebec. The plot was thwarted before any weapons were delivered, thanks to a months-long sting operation. Khan now faces serious federal charges in what officials say could have been a devastating act of terrorism. His extradition took place, ironically on the day that a top U.S General praised Pakistan as a 'phenomenal partner' in counter terrorism. Read More

Operation Rising Lion Israel's strikes on some of Iran's facilities mark a dangerous escalation in an already volatile West Asian theatre. While Israel cites preemptive security concerns, such unilateral actions risk provoking severe retaliation from Tehran, which could engulf the region in wider conflict. Iran's possible military or proxy-based response may destabilise not just Israel but also the Gulf states, threatening vital global energy supplies. This tit-for-tat brinkmanship undermines ongoing diplomatic efforts, especially the already fragile Iran nuclear deal framework. Moreover, it raises the spectre of a nuclear arms race in the region, as other nations may seek similar deterrents. India, with its strategic ties to both Israel and Iran, and its dependence on Gulf energy routes, has cause for concern. The international community, particularly the UN and regional powers, must act swiftly to de-escalate tensions and revive meaningful dialogue before the situation spirals beyond control. Gopalaswamy J., Chennai U.S. ties, the reality A report that the Pakistani Army Chief General has been invited to an event in Washington DC on the occasion of U.S. Army Day (June 14) makes one wonder what the true state of India-U.S. ties is like. June). There is also another report of General Michael Kurilla having praised Pakistan for its 'counter-terror efforts' and helping the U.S. achieve its objectives in the region ('U.S. CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla terms Pakistan a 'phenomenal partner' in counter-terrorism', June 11). This runs counter to India's repeated line that Pakistan is the penetrator of terrorism. Such reports only strengthen doubts about America being a 'reliable partner'. Yash Pal Ralhan, Jalandhar, Punjab Air safety In an interview to a YouTube channel, Captain Mohan Ranganathan, an aviation safety expert, has said that Ahmedabad airport is known to have a high risk factor of bird hits and that most airports in India function in violation of ICAO and DGCA rules for political reasons. He has also pointed out that there are slaughterhouses and garbage dumps just outside the airport wall. Such facilities are prohibited within a 13 kilometre radius. The expert also said that he had written about the situation at Ahmedabad airport several years ago. He raised another pertinent issue. After the crash at Mangaluru in 2010, he had submitted a report that highlighted the need to extend the runway for safer operations. Unfortunately, the government failed to respond citing the costs involved. The result is that nothing has changed. The government may have set up an inquiry committee to probe the crash at Ahmedabad, but more often than not, all these inquiries end with the authorities signing up on the dotted line and not caring about the real conditions. Therefore, if the inquiry is to be impartial, it should include committed experts. The government must implement safety recommendations. N.G.R. Prasad, Chennai The snippet, 'Mrs. Gandhi's election set aside'('From the Archives' – Fifty Years Ago, June 13, 1975) was, indubitably, a historic day in Indian democracy. This was an event that resulted in many political developments. But, unfortunately, years later we have yet to introduce necessary electoral reforms, to make it easy for honest and ordinary citizens to enter our law-making bodies. This is a failure that takes some of the shine off our democracy. Rich individuals find it easy to don the role of law-makers. Law-breakers becoming law makers is a malady, while law abiders continue to suffer in silence. We need to make essential changes to our electoral laws to pave the way for good governance and inclusive economic growth. M.V. Nagavender Rao, Hyderabad

Why no FIR against Ponmudy? Madras high court orders notice to DGP, commissioner
Madras high court CHENNAI: Madras high court on Friday ordered notices to the Tamil Nadu DGP and the Chennai commissioner of police on a suo motu plea initiated against former DMK minister K Ponmudy for his obscene speech against Shaivism, Vaishnavism and women. On April 23, Justice N Anand Venkatesh decided to initiate the suo motu plea since the Tamil Nadu police failed to register an FIR against the former minister. After the approval of the chief justice, the petition was numbered and listed before Justice P Velmurugan, who handles the portfolio of cases against MPs and MLAs. When the plea came for hearing on Friday, Justice Velmurugan directed the registry to forward a copy of the order passed by Justice Anand Venkatesh to the DGP and the commissioner and adjourned the hearing to June 25. According to Justice Anand Venkatesh, the comments made by Ponmudy, on the face of it, were completely derogatory towards women and deliberately spewed venom and hatred on the two main sects of Hinduism. The judge directed the initiation of suo motu proceedings as the Tamil Nadu police failed to register an FIR against the minister, as suggested by high court. As per the Supreme Court order, police are mandated to register a case against such hate speech even in the absence of a formal complaint, high court pointed out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Преносими лазерни заваръчни пистолети, 50% отстъпка LYH Купете сега Undo 'Tamil Nadu police must obey the orders of Supreme Court to check hate speeches in letter and spirit.
