Congratulations to Shri. Arjun Ram Meghwal ji of BJP for raising voice for Pakistani Hindus ! O Hindus, can we still rely on Congress Government, who has been so insensative about such issues of Hindus ? - Editor
The government on Friday ruled out
granting refugee status to Pakistani Hindu immigrants who have crossed
over to India to escape persecution there.
“At the moment, we cannot grant them
refugee status," Minister of State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran
said replying to a discussion on a private members' resolution in the
Lok Sabha.
He, however, said no Pakistani national,
whose application for long-term visa was under consideration of
government, would be deported to Pakistan.
The minister also listed a number of
steps taken by the government since 1955 to address matters related to
persons displaced from Pakistan.
The resolution on 'Formulation of an
Action Plan to Rehabilitate Persons Displaced from Pakistan', moved by
Arjun Ram Meghwal (BJP), was negatived after being put to voice vote.
As per convention, a member withdraws
the resolution after the reply by the minister. Meghwal insisted that
his conscience did not permit him to follow the convention as he was not
satisfied with the Minister's reply.
Meghwal said the government had
not given any assurance on issues raised by him including conducting a
survey of Pakistani nationals residing in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Indore
and alleged ill-treatment of minorities in Pakistan, including Hindu,
Christian, Ahmadiyya Muslim and Parsi communities.
He also wanted the government to take
care of Pakistani Hindus, numbering more than 17,000, who have taken
refuge at private-run transit camps in Jodhpur.
