Mohammad Amin Mir라이브 바카라 children refuse to go to school. His two daughters worry that they will be separated from their parents. Two days back, Mir, 50, was called to the local police station. He was asked to deposit the certificate of marriage that he had solemnised with a Pakistani girl. The first thought that he had at the police station was that he could be sent back to Pakistan.
With authorities repatriating Pakistani citizens back to their country after the Pahalgam terror attack, Mir라이브 바카라 wife, Rayeesa, 38, fears that she and her children could also be deported. “I don’t want to go back. There is no one left in Pakistan. I would rather die here than return to the country. My husband is here. I have a family here. What would I do without them?” she asked.
While their first daughter, Ayesha, 13, was born in Pakistan, the second one, Fatima, 8, was born in India. “The repatriation will leave us divided,” says Rayeesa, sitting inside her house in Rainawari area of Srinagar city, along with other women from her neighbourhood who are assembled at her house out of concern.
The family is fearful that they could be forcibly deported. “My girls refused to go to school. It was only after I assured them that nothing would happen to their mother and she wouldn’t be sent back to Pakistan that they went for studies,” says Mir.
He came back to Kashmir via Nepal in 2013. In 2010, the Jammu and Kashmir government had announced that those from Kashmir who had gone to Pakistan in the 90s can return with their families via the Wagah and URI routes. The Mir family chose to return via Nepal. “Our documents were properly checked by the police, and we came here only after we were cleared by them,” says Mir.
After Mir라이브 바카라 return to Rainawari, the family was very happy. “We are all very happy to have my brother back. But the last few days have been traumatic for us,” says Khurshid Mir. When Mir left Kashmir in the 1990s, he worked at a grocery shop. In Pakistan, he ran an automobile spare parts shop.
In Srinagar라이브 바카라 bustling Khanyar area, Eijaz Ahmad Misgar, who runs a tea shop along with his son, is not sure whether he can live here. “I don’t know when we will be deported. There are several families whom we know, who have been deported,” said Eijaz, who lives in Srinagar along with his Pakistani wife and his four children. The authorities here have deported several Pakistani citizens back to their country.
Earlier, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha chaired a meeting of all Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) and directed the officials to take appropriate and necessary action to ensure the “exit of Pakistani nationals as per the deadline notified by the Ministry of Home Affairs.”
As per the MEA order, all existing valid visas, except medical visas, long-term visas, diplomatic and official visas, issued by the Government of India to Pakistani nationals, stand revoked with immediate effect from April 27.
The order to deport Pakistani citizens came after the Pahalgam terror attack. According to Jammu and Kashmir Police, three militants of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were behind the attacks. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the banned Pakistan-based LeT outfit, has, however, denied any role in the attack.
