108 migrants from Pakistan get Indian citizenship


Jodhpur, Jun 18 (IANS): A total of 108 migrants from Pakistan received Indian citizenship here in Rajasthan on Sunday.

Jodhpur District collector Ravi Kumar Surpur distributed the citizenship certificates to the former Pakistanis.

Most of these migrant-turned-Indian citizens were teary eyed when they got the certificates.

The surroundings of the Town Hall where they were given the certificates echoed with slogans such as "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".

Hindu Singh Soda, President of Seemant Lok Sangathan who has played an active role in highlighting the plight of the migrants, said directions to give them citizenship were issued way back in December 2016.

He said some 6,000 people were still awaiting Indian citizenship.

    Who's denying that? This is a compliment m'am. In all probability, these migrants could be Muslims too as the article doesn't say anything about their cast. Do you have any inside info?

    Citizenship for Pakistanis, Afghans and Bangladeshis are given to those who have migrated to India due to religious persecution in these countries. These also include Ahmadis, a sect of Muslims in Pakistan. This is one of the boldest steps taken by the Modi Govt.
