Against the backdrop of mounting tensions, former Directors General of Police (DGPs) from Jammu and Kashmir have raised a collective voice urging the Indian government to consider the suspension of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cards for individuals currently residing in Canada.
Amidst the growing concerns regarding national security and stability, these former DGPs have highlighted the importance of taking precautionary measures to maintain peace and safeguard the interests of the nation. The call for suspending OCI cards comes as a response to the escalating tensions and in view of potential risks associated with certain individuals in Canada.
OCI cardholders, who are individuals of Indian origin, enjoy certain privileges to travel and reside in India for extended periods. However, the former DGPs argue that during times of heightened tensions, it is critical to reevaluate and potentially suspend these privileges to prevent any misuse that could compromise the nation’s security.
This appeal reflects the broader dialogue on security measures and precautions in the face of geopolitical challenges and aims to address potential risks posed by specific individuals residing abroad, especially in countries with strained relations with India.
It remains to be seen how the Indian government will respond to this plea and what actions will be taken in light of the recommendations made by the former DGPs. The ongoing situation underscores the need for vigilance and proactive measures to ensure the security and well-being of the nation amidst geopolitical complexities.
