Afghan, Bengali refugees gather in Karachi to thank PM over citizenship announcement

Afghan and Bengali refugees gathered outside Karachi Press Club to thank Prime Minister Imran Khan over his citizenship announcement.

Earlier this month, the premier said that current government will take steps to give citizenships to the Afghan and Bengali refugees, who were born in Pakistan.

In a video, shared by a journalist Naimat Khan, the refugees can be seen in a gathering waving Pakistani flags and listening to the national songs as the tweet read: “These men waving Pakistan’s national flags and playing Pakistani Milli songs are Afghan refugees and Bengalis who have gathered in front of Karachi Press Club to say Thank You to #pakistan and @ImranKhanPTI for his citizenship announcement #ShukriaPakistan #ShukriaImranKhan.”
