Lucknow: Seema Haider, the Pakistani woman who managed to sneak into India illegally with her four children to be with her lover Sachin Meena, has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath not to send her back.
Even as Seema has been under the scanner over possible connections with Pakistan Army and the country’s intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), she reiterated that she was 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, the truth will soon come out,” Seema said during an interview with India Today/Aaj Tak.
“I request Modi ji and Yogi ji not to send me back,” she made a fervent appeal, asserting that she wants to set up home with Sachin and doesn’t want to return to Pakistan.
Seema, who met Sachin online on the gaming app PUBG Mobile, crossed over to India from Nepal with her children in May.
She was arrested in Haryana on July 4 for entering India without a visa. Her lover Sachin was also put behind bars for sheltering illegal immigrants. On being granted bail, the duo has been living together in Greater Noida.
Earlier this week, Seema was questioned by UP’s Anti Terrorism Squad for over six hours.
She claimed she answered all questions posed by cops.
“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 said.
