BJP Leader Seeks Arrest and Deportation of Imran Khan Over OCI Status and Protest Participation
BJP leader Kirit Somaiya has demanded the arrest and deportation of actor Imran Khan, alleging that Khan violated Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) rules by participating in a political protest in Mumbai. Somaiya claims Khan, an American citizen with OCI status, misused his privileges and incited unrest. Legal experts note that while OCI holders have certain rights, they cannot engage in political activities reserved for Indian citizens, though participation in protests is not explicitly prohibited under OCI regulations. Authorities are reviewing the matter.
