It's a big crime to get an illegal visa. And incidently the name of Congress leader P Chidambaram's son and MP Karti Chidambaram has been associated with this. The MP is accused of helping Chinese nationals by illegally obtaining visas. Even if there is no direct connection, there is an allegation that some connection is there with the Congress MP. Again, there are allegations of issuing visas to people from countries with which India's relationship is practically not good. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Quad Summit to fight against China. And the allegation that people in that country were illegally granted visas means that it will have an impact on the image of Congress again.
