Overview

  • The Pahalgam terror attack claimed the lives of 26 tourists, prompting India to escalate diplomatic and security measures against Pakistan.
  • India has suspended the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme, revoked existing Pakistani visas, and ordered their holders to leave within 48 hours.
  • Seema Haider, a Pakistani national residing in Greater Noida after entering India illegally in 2023, remains under legal review without a formal deportation order issued yet.
  • Her case is complicated by her marriage to an Indian citizen, her children, and her pending application for Indian citizenship, which is still unresolved.
  • Uttar Pradesh authorities are conducting a state-level inquiry to determine whether she will be deported or allowed to stay on humanitarian grounds.
