The recent allegations by Congress leader Pawan Khera regarding Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, have sparked discussions on Indian citizenship and passport regulations. Khera claimed Sharma holds multiple foreign passports, which Sarma has dismissed as fabricated. According to the Passports Act, 1967, Indian citizens cannot hold multiple passports, and obtaining foreign citizenship results in the automatic loss of Indian citizenship as per Section 9 of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) scheme allows certain individuals of Indian origin to live and work in India but does not confer full citizenship rights. Legal action can be initiated against those possessing multiple passports, with over 1,300 cases flagged by authorities last year as security risks. The government routinely cancels such passports and pursues legal proceedings under the Passports Act.
