Pakistan to Take Back Biharis in Bangladesh.
Published: July 11, 1988
An agreement has been reached to repatriate more than a quarter of a million Pakistanis who have been in Bangladesh for 17 years, a senior Bangladesh official said today.
Foreign Secretary Nazrul Islam said the agreement was signed in Islamabad, Pakistan, over the weekend by the Government of Pakistan and Rabita El Alam Al Islami, a humanitarian organization based in Mecca.
Under the agreement, a trust fund will be set up to raise $284 million to repatriate and rehabilitate the Pakistanis, known as Biharis and estimated to number 260,000. It will take three years to complete the task.
The Biharis live in 66 camps in Bangladesh. They came to what was then East Pakistan from the Indian state of Bihar after India and Pakistan became independent in 1947. About 600,000 Biharis opted to go to Pakistan after East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971.
By 1982, Pakistan had taken back 175,000 of the Biharis who remained in Bangladesh, but then the repatriation was stopped over what was said to be a money shortage. About 100,000 Biharis have gone to Pakistan illegally through India, Nepal and Burma.
