The Congress party claims the Modi government has withdrawn UAPA charges against a US national named VanDyke, questioning the pressure behind the decision.
New Delhi, September 9 (ANI) - The Indian National Congress has publicly asserted that the Union government has removed the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) charges against a United States citizen identified as VanDyke. The party's statement suggested that the decision was taken under external pressure, though no specific source was named. Congress leaders demanded clarification from the Modi administration regarding the rationale for dropping the serious anti‑terrorism charges. The allegation comes amid heightened scrutiny of the government's handling of foreign nationals involved in legal proceedings. No official response from the Ministry of Home Affairs has been reported as of now.
