“If she is feeling suffocated here, there are lots of ways for her to go to Pakistan. It is only possible in India that one lives here and speaks against the country,” the BJP MP told reporters.

Sumaiya had recently said at an anti-CAA protest that the “atmosphere here has turned vitriolic and it is suffocating to live in such conditions.”
