Can Imran Khan Be Deported Over CJP Protest? OCI Rules Explained

Описание: Could actor Imran Khan actually face deportation for participating in the CJP protest in Mumbai? The question arose after BJP leader Kirit Somaiya sought action against him, alleging that Khan is a foreign citizen and OCI cardholder. Mumbai Police have reportedly begun seeking clarification from immigration authorities over the allegation. Hindustan Times
An OCI card does not grant Indian citizenship. OCI holders cannot vote or contest elections, and Article 19 rights such as freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are specifically guaranteed to Indian citizens. However, OCI rules do not expressly state that merely attending a peaceful protest automatically amounts to an offence. Ministry of External Affairs
Under Section 7D of the Citizenship Act, OCI registration can be cancelled only on specified legal grounds, and the cardholder must be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard. So participation in the protest alone does not automatically establish that Imran can be deported
