Pakistani Hindus came to India on tourist visa, now want to settle down

A group of 50 Hindu families from Pakistan arrived in India on Monday via the Wagah-Attari border on tourist visas. Many of these travelers who have arrived on a 25-day tourist visa said they wish to settle in India, and slammed Pakistan for its treatment of minorities.

Some of them even claimed that they felt unsafe in Pakistan and hoped to get Indian citizenship after the enactment of the CAA.

As per the CAA law, migrants of six non-Muslim communities -- Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian -- who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan till December 31, 2014, will be given Indian citizenship. The law sparked countrywide protests and violence at some places in which approximately 25 people were killed.
