Singh emphasized, “Seema Haider should be granted asylum. If it is proven that she is a terrorist or spy, then she should face double hanging. But currently, she is above SIR, and her situation is not about voting but about protecting her life.” He also revealed plans to reapply on her behalf for the pending case.
The lawyer also spoke on broader social issues, highlighting the need for a Men’s Commission and dedicated police stations for men, citing misuse of laws meant for women. He stressed, “Women in India are not weak; the narrative has been misused to unfairly target men.”
On governance and justice, Singh criticized bulldozer politics, calling it “autocratic” and contrary to India’s tradition of building homes. He urged the Election Commission to remain impartial and maintain public confidence, and underscored that the judiciary should not only deliver justice but be seen as doing so, ensuring trust among all citizens.
Seema Haider, originally from Pakistan, met her Indian husband Sachin Meena online in 2019. After marrying in Nepal in March 2023, she traveled to India via Dubai and sought Indian citizenship through a mercy petition to the President in July 2023. Both she and Meena were briefly detained in Haryana before being granted bail.
Her case has drawn attention for its legal and humanitarian dimensions, highlighting cross-border marriage, asylum claims, and the procedural challenges of SIR verifications. Singh’s defense underscores the argument for protecting her rights while awaiting a final decision from the President.
