Pak Woman Living In India For 35 Years Told To Go Back

Sarada Bai, a Pakistani national who has lived in India for over 35 years, has been asked by the Odisha police to leave the country immediately. The authorities have cancelled her visa and instructed her to return to Pakistan without delay, warning her that legal action will be taken if she fails to comply. This move is part of a series of measures following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, which has strained relations between India and Pakistan.

Sarada Bai, originally from Pakistan, married into a Hindu family in Bolangir years ago, tying the knot with Mahesh Kukreja. She has two children and grandchildren, all of whom are Indian citizens. Despite possessing key documents like a voter ID, she has never been granted Indian citizenship.

In a heartfelt plea, Sarada Bai has asked the government to allow her to stay with her family. “I was first in Koraput, then came to Bolangir. I have no one in Pakistan… Even my passport is too old. I ask the government and you all with folded hands, please allow me to live here. I have two grown children, grandchildren… I wish to live here as an Indian,” she said, tearfully.

Her petition has deeply touched many, but the Bolangir police have made it clear that they will take legal action as required by law. The situation remains tense, and Sarada Bai’s future hangs in the balance.

This move comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam massacre, which killed 26 people and targeted tourists. In response, India has taken several non-military actions, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting the Attari border, and revoking visas for Pakistani nationals in India.

As the situation unfolds, Sarada Bai’s plea for mercy and the chance to stay with her family continues to resonate with many who see her as a long-time resident of India, a country she calls home.
