After the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian authorities have ordered the exile of Pakistani nationals living in a city in a city near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.
The move has made a comeback of many persons in Pakistan, some of whom have been living in India through cross -border marriages for decades. Their sudden exile has distressed the families, who are now appealing to the government to reconsider their decision.
A resident of Poonch said, “My wife had been living here for 45 years, she has a Pakistani nationality. We request that the government has deported the wrongdoing persons, but those who do not do wrong. My family is serving the country, some of them in the army and police.”
Another family member said, “Under this new order, some of my relatives were also deported. They were living here for the last 40-45 years. This is an injustice. We appeal to the government to serve and bring them back.”
