A group of about 250 Hindus were on Friday allowed to cross over to India for a pilgrimage after being detained at the Wagha border crossing due to a controversy over reports that they planned to migrate to the neighbouring country due to an increase in violence against the minority community in Sindh and Balochistan.
The Hindus protested at the Wagah border after they were detained for almost seven hours. Immigration authorities finally allowed them to cross the frontier at about 2.30pm.
“We were given the go-ahead from the interior minister to allow about 250 Hindus to travel to India. They all have valid travel documents,” a senior official of the Federal Investigation Agency said. “The Hindus have 33-day visas for different Indian cities. We stopped them temporarily after media reports said they would not return because of some problems they were facing here,” the official said, adding that a special FIA team had been assigned to interview the Hindus. He said that the Hindus dismissed media reports about them and assured them that they would not speak against Pakistan in India. He added that the FIA had not sought any sort of undertaking from the Hindus. “They promised not to defame Pakistan,” he said.
Though the Hindus gathered at the border crossing at 8am, only two doctors and their families were initially allowed to cross to India. Both doctors had “no-objection certificates” and authorities had earlier said they would only allow people with NOCs to cross the border. Minister for Interior Rehman Malik said Hindu families having complete travel documents and valid visa were allowed to proceed to India.
While chairing a meeting to review migration of Hindu families from Jacobabad to India, the minister said a group representing all Hindu citizens had assured the government that the Hindu families were going to India to visit religious sites.
“They will come back and would not apply for political asylum in India,” Malik said, adding that the government would provide complete security to minorities and the agents involved in providing political asylum to minorities would be taken to task per the law of the land. He sought report on the issue from the FIA DG at the earliest. Meanwhile in Islamabad, President Asif Zardari took serious notice of the reports regarding insecurity among the minority Hindus and directed the authorities concerned to allay their grievances and submit a report to him. Spokesperson to the President Senator Farhatullah Babar said that President Zardari had also constituted a three-member committee of parliamentarians comprising Senator Hari Ram, MNA Lal Chand and Federal Minister Moula Bakhsh Chandio to visit different parts of Sindh to express solidarity with the Hindus.
All non-muslims are unfortunatlry treated very badly in Pakistan. I had one non-muslim in my class and only 2 or 3 girls used to talk to her. I understand their frustration, I hope Pakistanis can be more tolerant to their minorities.
This is wrong and one sided statement and we do not believe that minorities are not safe here.this is absolutely wrong allegation and all the non-muslims are Pakistanis and are living,working performing their duties and other business accordingly as other Pakistanis are doing.Look in India how non-muslims and particularly muslims are treated.On Eid ul Azha ,they cannot slaughter the animals accoding the muslims traditions openly and if muslims like hindus pilgtims(pakistani) are given visas on the spot.if muslims were ,the Indian authorities immedialtey put them in jail.This doubt empowers me that this is a bloody and pre-planned preparations to blame on peaceful Pakistan at every stage.We condemn this plan and request the Pakistan authorities to make enquiries independently and the outcomes must be revealed to the public without any delay.As Pakistan goes on the path of peaceful,progress and stabilised its policies,immediately these bad elements start to disturb the nation as well as to the Government of Pakistan
They all look very well fed and well dressed.Please make it a point to phtograph these persons when they return.I bet they would be skeletons,dark faced with shabby clothes.
A high level committee must be set up to investigate in this matter.It swwms to be a conspiracy agaisnt Pakistan by the Media which is being sponsored and organised by active Indian Lobby in Pakistan.all the minorities are living here peacefully,The question is that all the so-called hindus pilgrims went to the border and they immdediately were given the visas on the spot.It is very surprising to know all these hindus are holding Pakistani passport and Indian immigrations at once issued the visas,is unbelievale.It is a pre-planned and onlt to ruin and dishonor Pakistan by every possible means in collaboration with internal anti-Pak elements.
Very Nice point there bro. Highly possible case
