Kshama Sawant and supporters protest visa denial at Seattle's Indian Consulate, clash with staff.

Indian-American politician Kshama Sawant and her supporters faced a tense situation at the Indian Consulate in Seattle after her visa application was denied, which she claims is due to her political stance. Sawant, a former Seattle City Council member, and her group staged a protest at the consulate, alleging aggressive behavior by staff. The consulate reported unauthorized entry and refusal to leave by the protesters, leading them to call local authorities. Sawant has been critical of India's government policies and previously passed a resolution condemning the Citizenship Amendment Act.
