BREAKING : REFUSED by hotels and lodges, PAK family spends the night on a Mumbai footpath

[Chow chow]

HI,

The mentioned counter argument was to show here that, If a person who is was not part f NSA back then could claim something like this.
Imagine now, heading NSA department now, what havoc will he wreak.

Dude how many time will you greet with a 'Hi' ? It's annoying

MUMBAI: A trip to 'Maximum City' turned bitter for a family from Pakistan. After visiting the iconic Haji Ali dargah, the family of six from Karachi found that no hotel or lodge was willing to give them rooms. When their efforts to return to their relatives' house in Jodhpur too failed, the family - which included three women and a boy - had no option but to spend the night on a footpath.

The family had arrived in India last week, and had stayed a while with relatives in Jodhpur. They had arrived in Mumbai, with two things on their agenda - a visit to Haji Ali and an attempt to meet Bollywood star Salman Khan.

"After being with our relatives in Jodhpur for over a week, we decided to visit the Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai for ziyarat (prayers). We arrived in Mumbai on October 14 morning, went to the shrine and returned from there after prayers," said Noor Banu, who had come to India with her brother Inayat Ali (55), nephew Shakeel Ahmed, two other women and a seven-year-old boy.

After a visit to Haji Ali, the family had tried to find accommodation. That's when their trauma started.

"I asked the family to wait near a hotel at Bhenzi Bazaar and began searching for a hotel or lodge. Till the evening I visited around a dozen lodges, but everyone refused to admit us since we are from Pakistan," said a bitter Shakeel Ahmed.

"What is the problem in providing us accommodation when the Indian government has given us valid visas?" he added.

"The little boy, who watched the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' movie, is a big fan of Salman Khan. We thought we will try to meet Salman Khan too. However, the experience has been bitter. I don't want to say more. We just want to leave and reach home as early as possible," said Ahmed.

After they were turned away by a dozen lodges and hotels, the family decided to return to Jodhpur. They went to the Mumbai Central Railway station to take a train, but were stopped by the railway protection force (RPF).

The RPF personnel told the family that there was no train for Jodhpur late in the night and that they would have to come the next day. The family could also not spend the night on the platform, as that is not permitted in Mumbai.

So, they come out of the station and took the only option open to them - spend the night on a footpath.

On Thursday morning, the family left for Jodhpur. "We are going from Mumbai, but don't want to go with bitter memories. However, one will think about the treatment given to him or her on foreign soil," said Banu. The family did not approach the police, saying their priority was to reach home at the earliest.

When a reporter told Ahmed that the Indians' attitudes towards Pakistan changed after the 26/11 terror attacks, Ahmed said, "Even we feel bad for it. However, one cannot malign the image of all Pakistanis because of that."

Third Growing hatered

HI,

With that terrorist mindset, it seems we have reached a deadlock. Making hands dirty or not.

You cant blame others unless you yourself come clean.

So you will have to try something better than this to counter argue

answer the first part first

caring for the lives of the citizen of my country is not a terrorist mindset for me."lato ke bhut bato se nahi mante".

iam not blaming, iam saying if other side is already playing some dirty game, we shold make sure they wont be able to play for long and pay a heavy price for that.

i havent received the answer of my accusation, i gave you one for yours. come with answer, not argument.

There is only one reason ..... that is the risk of them being Terrorists. Its as simple as that.

Hello,

what is more annoying is that a person who is more than 4 years old with mere 300 messages in total and gets banned.

Try something better next time

Ah well .......... when you look at the pictures, one do feel bad. Its a lot better if GoI refuse them visas in the first place.

HI,
Which is far worse, Seems like even locals are accepting the terrorist mindset.\
Sad to see world largest democracy being hijacked by such ideologies

i am not scoring some points here but you have to understand bro, everything has changed after 26/11 attacks, specially in Mumbai..... as one indian guy with Blue chaandh tara avatar said here, we are becoming more and more islamophobic and now add some wealth and power. the truth is we are becoming Arrogent and Nerow minded because we are becoming more Powerful. and we have every right to be Arrogent if you ask me. here in Western India, everybody thinks that Pakistan is a Piss Poor country who can not even Produce a Needle. (most of us westerners have no idea of north indain Poverty.) (not my words any guy from West India can Conform ) /theywe (AI) have nothing against pakistani people, they/we(AI) just hate pakistan

So Ahmed wants to continue supporting Terrorism but want Indians to limit our anger and revulsion to "some unknown people" ?

Blows my mind.

nobody can forgive Pakistan for 26/11. and most of Mumbaiwalas are hardcore Indians and Hindu/Muslims who put Nation before Religion(because they are Wealthy)

They should have stayed in Jodhpur with their relatives. They would not have faced such an embarrassing situation

How the hell is this guy posting after getting banned??? I want to know this trick!!

 

[Niyogi]

What are you trying to do here ? seriously ?

Pakistan IS pakistani people. ANY anger Indians have will be directed against pakitani people. Why are you denying what should be obvious ?

 

[EAK]

We should STOP even the MEDICAL visas

And we should stop gurdawara visitors ... as a matter of fact yaatri's numbers are way too much then pakistani's visiting india.. so stop your B.S

 

[salarsikander]

because we are becoming more Powerful. and we have every right to be Arrogent if you ask me

Hi,

a highly subjective statement.

And then comparing it with a piss poor country like Pakistan, six times its size with most malnourished people.

I find it very comical
