India Cracks Down on Pakistan Post-Pahalgam Attack: 48-Hour Exit Order for All Pakistani Nationals
After the barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 innocent tourists lost their lives, India has responded with a series of stern actions against Pakistan. The government, in a high-level meeting led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has ordered all Pakistani nationals residing in India to leave within 48 hours.
The action is being seen as a strong diplomatic message to Islamabad for its continued support to terror groups operating across the Line of Control.
Why Has India Taken This Step?
The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) convened shortly after the attack and made several landmark decisions:
-
Suspension of SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistan.
-
Revocation of all valid visas issued to Pakistani nationals under this scheme.
-
Immediate eviction of Pakistani citizens currently residing in India under SVES within 48 hours.
The move reflects India’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and nations that shelter or sponsor it.
The Question Everyone is Asking: What Happens to Seema Haider?
As soon as the news broke, social media lit up with a flurry of posts questioning the future of Seema Haider, a Pakistani woman who entered India illegally in 2020 and has since made Greater Noida her home. She is married to Indian citizen Sachin Meena, with whom she also has a child.
Many have demanded her immediate deportation, calling her presence in India a violation of immigration law and a potential threat to national security.
Social Media Reacts
Users have been vocal:
-
“Will Seema Haider also be asked to leave India now?” one questioned.
-
Another posted, “She entered India without a visa, settled here, and even started pretending to be a Hindu. Isn’t this dangerous tolerance?”
The wave of online outrage reflects the growing public sentiment against unchecked immigration, especially in sensitive times.
Will Seema Haider Be Deported?
Legally, no—not yet.
Seema Haider’s case is not covered under the current 48-hour deportation order, because:
-
She did not enter India on a visa.
-
Her entry was illegal, and her case is already sub judice (under judicial review).
-
Until the court makes a final decision, she cannot be forcibly deported.
So, despite the current anti-Pakistan sentiment and the crackdown, Seema Haider will continue to stay in Greater Noida, unless and until a court rules otherwise.
Rising Questions Over National Security and Legal Loopholes
The larger question remains—how was Seema Haider allowed to stay this long in India without proper documentation? This case has reignited the debate on:
-
Border security
-
Immigration laws
-
Legal provisions to deal with illegal entrants from hostile nations
The government has been cautious in dealing with her case due to its sensitive nature involving motherhood and inter-religious marriage, but critics argue that national security cannot be compromised.
India’s Larger Message to the World
By stopping water flow under the Indus Waters Treaty, canceling SAARC visa relaxations, and ordering Pakistanis to leave, India is telling the world:
“Terrorism will no longer be tolerated, and those who support it will pay the price.”
