Those Pakistanis have every right to return to their home.
If Afghan, Bengali, and Burmese can roam around here, then these people have every right to come back.
But deep down I know that is never going to happen.

there are more than 10 million illegal bengalis who moved to Pakistan after East Pakistan broke away, lets throw them out first.

Afghan refugees are still pouring in, I am not seeing any civil war here.

with hope of sending them back . while you are asking something totally different sir . those east pakistanis will not come here to go back . we will kick afghanis any day .

That's not even logical let alone fair. bengali doesn't equal to Bangladeshi. ones a linguistic group, the other is an administrative unit.

India claims over 400 million Bangladeshis live in India.

400 million? that's more than the people in the country itself 166 million

 

[Riyad]

There are Bengali Muslims in Pakistan whi want to come back to Bangladesh. Bangladesh should take them back in exchange of stranded Pakistani Biharis.

Bihar in India will not take these people. They call themselves Pakistani. So Pakistan must bear them. These people must leave our country. They are a huge burden to our economy.

Rohingyas from Myanmar and Biharis from British India are huge burden to Bangladesh. Biharis also sided with Pakistani army in 1971 war. Biharis killed many Bengalis in Mirpur area of Dhaka. These people are hated by local Bengali people due to their past history of crime against Bengalis.

 

[El Sidd]

They don't want or cannot get?

Technical impossibility

Okay so let's make adjustment to my previous proposal. Let's swap everyone who came here after the creation of Bangladesh, and are not citizens of Pakistan, for the Biharis in BD.

Its been 3 generations. Such massive population transfer needs a war in Bengal

It does in Pakistan's context. All the Bengalis in Pakistan arrived post independence and were Bangladeshi citizeins.

There was a Bengali presence in Karachi pre 71 as well.

400 million? that's more than the people in the country itself 166 million

That's India for you

BD is in a good location. BD does not have any military threats.

Than india doesn’t need any eastern command at all since bd is not a threat to india.

There are Bengali Muslims in Pakistan whi want to come back to Bangladesh. Bangladesh should take them back in exchange of stranded Pakistani Biharis.

Bihar in India will not take these people. They call themselves Pakistani. So Pakistan must bear them. These people must leave our country. They are a huge burden to our economy.

You’re more of a burden to bd than Biharis will ever be.

What is the issue with Rohyngas? They are your Bengali cousins from Myanmar. Correct?

No. They’re arakanese

Aren't Rohingya's closer to Bengalis than Indian Muslims from Assam, UP & Bihar?

bihar Assam West Bengal etc we’re all part of the Bengal sultanate. Arakan was an independent state. Get your history right.

 

[kingQamaR]

we all know the true here our Pakistani republic is never going to let these Biharis from India in. We need our Pakistan leadership then be honest with these Peoples and other big groups who are asking the sane question that they will never get Pakistani citizenship make best and improve where you are.

 

[fitpOsitive]

It's time Pakistan should take those stranded Pakistanis back. When you claim to be a country created for Indian Muslims and then deny the entry to these very Indian Muslims doesnt make sense. This might also help restore normal relations with Bangladesh.

We have more "stranded" Bangladeshis than Bangladeshis have Pakistanis.
We can give 5 ships full for a half ship full.

If stranded people in Pakistan and Bangladesh want to immigrate and take citizenship of India, I will whole heartedly support it.

No one cares about poverty stricken India or seeking citizenship there.

Indian GDP per capita is already lower than Bangladesh - and its projected to go even lower in the future.

Keep pulling your country down into the gutter as you face more and more boycotts because of ethnic cleansing.

That said - the thread was about Pakistan and Bangladesh.

I am going to ask the mods to delete all the off topic and irrelevant posts by bhakts.

@The Eagle bhai, thread hijack in progress.

It is factually correct. These people needs to take up BD citizenship and just be. No one is asking them to foget Urdu or abandon their uniqueness.

As long as they remain on refugee camps....BD shares majority of the bill for the stipends they receive, the security infastructure necessary to penn them in the refugee camp etc.. Utter waste of money, it is a cost BD can better spend elsewhere. For the people they are not realising their potential chasing an impossible dream.

As i said before the whole situation is dumb.

Exactly - I have friends who are Indian immigrants in Bangladesh from 1947 who can speak fluent Bengali but speak Chosht Urdu at home.

No issues there...they have every right to keep their family culture alive.

Correct. Pakistani government should be honest and tell them the truth that they will never be allowed back. Accept the BD citizenship and move on.

For the sake of their children , Biharis should move on and accept BD citizenship. They wasted their lives for the useless country aka Pakistan that bailed on them. I don't know why they even want to be part of the part (Pakistan) when its own ethnic population hate them. I wish they were blue eyed blonde , that would have increased their chances of being accepted but since they aren't , they should accept what they can and move on.
