Flight of Pak Hindus to India picks pace
Pakistani Hindus in India: More than 200 Pakistani Hindus entered India through the Attari Wagah border on Monday, officials said. As per report, Pakistani Hindus have crossed over to India on visitor's visa. However, some of them have claimed that they are unsafe in Pakistan and sought to get Indian citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee President Manjinder Singh Sirsa received four families whom he claimed had fled Pakistan due to persecution. Meanwhile, the officials at the border claimed that the number of Hindus travelers from Pakistan through has increased significantly over the past month.
