Pakistan's Seema Haider praises 'controversial' Indian Citizenship law

It's worth noting that Haider wouldn't directly benefit from this act, as it primarily focuses on undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who entered India before December 2014.

Seema Haider, a Pakistani national who entered India illegally with her four children to reunite with her Indian, has expressed admiration for PM Narendra Modi's implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), a contentious law that has sparked considerable debate across India.

In a video message released on Tuesday, Haider, who claimed to have converted to Hinduism, voiced her optimism that the CAA would facilitate her acquisition of Indian citizenship.

She recorded the message alongside her Indian husband, Sachin Mena, and three of her four children.

Haider conveyed her profound gratitude towards Modi for introducing the CAA, stating, "The Indian government has now enacted the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in our country. We are elated about this development and extend our congratulations to the government. Modi ji has indeed fulfilled his promise, for which I will remain indebted to him for life and express my gratitude continuously."

She expressed confidence that the obstacles related to her citizenship would be addressed with the implementation of this law. Haider concluded her video by reciting 'Jai Shri Ram,' 'Radhe Radhe,' and 'Bharat Mata ki Jai.'

Furthermore, Haider mentioned that her brother also extended congratulations on the new act by the Indian government, believing that her citizenship-related challenges would be resolved.

However, it's worth noting that Haider wouldn't directly benefit from this act, as it primarily focuses on undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who entered India before December 2014.
