Bangladesh's Invisible people, the Beharis !

[Leader]

Forty years after independence from Pakistan, many Urdu-speaking migrants from India still remain in refugee camps.

Bangladesh has marked 40 years since proclaiming its independence from Pakistan after a nine-month war.

Up to a million Urdu-speaking Muslims emigrated from India to what was then known as East Pakistan. They were caught up in the fighting - and to this day, many still remain in refugee camps.

Dude, they are sheltered in our land, eat our food and use our public facilities! But they don't even belong here. If you care so much, just take them back!

Here I have a link from United Nationa Refugee agency. In 1971 more than 1000 Biharis died of backlashes from Bengalis.

1990:- Biharis demonstrated against CM of Sindh.
1993:- 5 Biharis died of Bomb blast when 320 of them came back to Pakistan.

They don't them back, they have so much kindness for Afghan refugees but not for Biharis even their whole generation grown up without going to school because of no citizenship.

Their role is restricted up to propaganda tools to be used against Bangladesh freedom movement and India.

They are loyal of Pakistan not Bangladesh. That's why never accepted and fought for Bangladeshi citizenship, all them wanted migration to Pakistan.
