Pakistani Hindus in Jalandhar meet district magistrate, demand Indian citizenship

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

A group of Pakistani Hindus, who have been residing in Jalandhar for several years, submitted a memorandum to the district magistrate on Monday in which they have urged the Indian government to grant them citizenship.

The Hindu families, led by All India Hindu Shiv Sena president Surinder Kumar Billa, met the district magistrate and told him that they have been residing in the district for over a decade and do not want to return to Pakistan claiming that they were not "treated well" in their home country.

Bitta, whose organisation has been working for Pakistani Hindus for many years, said the Pakistani passports of these people have expired and their children have also been born and raised in Jalandhar. Over 200 such families are residing in Jalandhar.

I agree. Hope India and Pakistan can chalk out a deal that allows all Pakistani Hindus and Sikhs to come and live in India.

I won't label a person as retarded just like that. But if they want to stay somewhere else, fine.

Well hindus have just one nation to come back to and that's India. We can not send these Pakistani hindus back to Pakistan's shark infested waters.
And afaik they would get Indian citizenship if they 've been resident in India for 12 years. correct me if I'm wrong.

Give them Fast track citizenship. Give them land and money to build the houses.

7 years and even that is optional, provided the Courts intervene.

While I understand many of them have Indian children now so there's no going back, why would you suggest the govt should treat them differently than say, the Somali or the Bengali refugees here?

Funny, some people who were born and brought up in other countries considered as Indians because of their religion and people who were born and brought up here were considered as outsiders because of their religion..
