Indian authorities have ordered Bollywood actor Imran Khan to leave the country by October 28 after he participated in a Mumbai protest calling for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Khan, a U.S. citizen who holds an Overseas Citizen of India card, joined the October 10 demonstration at August Kranti Maidan and was briefly detained with other protesters. The Foreigners Regional Registration Office later served him a notice alleging that his participation violated rules applicable to foreign nationals.
An OCI card allows a foreign citizen of Indian origin to live and work in India but does not confer Indian citizenship or the right to vote. Khan’s lawyer said no law or rule governing OCI cardholders expressly prohibits participation in a protest. The Indian Express reported that his legal team has already challenged the notice in the Bombay High Court.
At the demonstration, Khan said he was attending as a Mumbai resident and not on behalf of any organization. “I am here to see why freedom of movement is being restricted, why people’s voices are being suppressed,” he told reporters.
The notice followed a complaint by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya, who alleged that Khan, as a foreign citizen, had improperly joined the political protest. Filmmaker Kiran Rao and several actors criticized the order, while actors Raza Murad and Gajendra Chauhan defended the authorities’ action.
