On 18th May, British academician Nitasha Kaul, widely known for her consistent criticism of Indian government policies, launched a scathing attack on the Indian authorities after her Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card was cancelled. Expressing her anger on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, “I received a cancellation of my OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) today after arriving home. A bad faith, vindictive, cruel example of TNR (transnational repression) punishing me for scholarly work on anti-minority & anti-democratic policies of Modi rule.”
