Delhi Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Delhi Agreement was a trilateral agreement and bilateral treaty signed between India and Pakistan on 9 April 1973.[1] The treaty was signed by the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan in New Delhi, following the Simla Agreement in 1972.[1]
Under the terms of this agreement, thousands of non-Bengali and Urdu-speaking Biharis, including 195 former armed forces and civilians officers, were subjects of population transfer to Pakistan from India and Bangladesh.[2] Concurrently, Bangladesh worked together with India to propose the treaty to resolve the humanitarian crises, but did not became a party to the treaty.[1] Overseen by the UNCHR, this agreement resolved the humanitarian crises and it cleared the way for state recognition of Bangladesh by Pakistan.[1]
The treaty ended on 1 July 1974, and a total of 230,439 persons migrated to Pakistan and Bangladesh. According to UN, around 121,695 Bangladeshis were moved from Pakistan to Bangladesh, and 108,744 from Bangladesh to Pakistan.[2] In 1974, General Niazi was a last Pakistan armed forces general who was symbolically repatriated to Pakistan from Wagah border.[2]
