Not A Spy, Don't Send Me Back To Pakistan: Seema Haider's Appeal To PM Modi, UP CM

Pakistani woman Seema Haider who illegally entered India to be with her Hindu boyfriend Sachin Meena after getting in touch through online game PUBG, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath not to send her back to her country.

She is currently being interrogated by the Indian authorities to find out whether she is a spy disguised as a mother of four. In an interview with India Today, she said that she is not a spy.

"If anyone in Pakistan would have come to know that I was going to India, they would have killed me. I am not a spy, soon the truth will come out," the website quoted Seema as saying while making it clear that she will not go to Pakistan.

"I request Modi ji and Yogi ji not to send me back," she appealed.

In the interview, Haider claimed that she answered all the questions asked by the Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorism Squad for six hours. "I crossed over illegally as I had no option. I didn't want to live in Pakistan. I didn't hide any information from my past," she added.

On the other hand, her lawyer, AP Singh told India Today that she is seeking Indian citizenship as she has tied the knot with Sachin. He also stated that the Pakistani woman has embraced Hinduism even before the marriage.

"A petition has been filed before the President and legal formalities have been completed. Seema is getting threats, her life is in danger. If the police have questions, they should investigate. But Seema is now Sachin's wife so she should get Indian citizenship," AP Singh said.

Seema Haider, a married Muslim woman from Pakistan and mother of four, came across 22-year-old Sachin Meena on PUBG during the pandemic in 2020.

After falling in love, she left her country and married him in Nepal. She then went back to her country, sold her property for flight tickets and a Nepal visa from where she illegally entered India with her four children to stay with the man whom she married in May.

Pakistan society has slammed her for fleeing to India and marrying a Hindu even as her husband Ghulam Haider is pleading her to come back to her life. However, this incident has not gone well with the radical Muslims who are now targeted minority Hindus and their religious places.
