Pak Hindus want to remain in India

Perpetual fear of being targeted in their country has led a group of 140 visiting Pakistani Hindus to remain in India and seek shelter wanting to make Delhi their new home.

The group from Sindh province came to India on a tourist visa, which has since expired, and does not want to return to to their birthplace as they feel their future there will be in jeopardy.

Living in penury and with their visas having expired two months back, the 27 families from a village in Matiari district near Hyderabad feel they will be secure in India.

Currently living in tents put up by an organisation in Majnu Ka Tilla in north Delhi, the old, the young and the children have only one appeal to the Indian Government — extend visas and give them proper accommodation in the city.

Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Act, 2011

The Central Government is all set to rip apart the secular fabric of our nation. Will it be playing the old game of ‘divide and rule’ to secure its victory in upcoming elections?

Our country has evidenced communal hatred, violence and tensions for long. Cause may differ, but the result is the same – unrest in society and betrayals between communities. Can we say that existing laws are insufficient to control communal disharmony? Or, implementation is lacking? Is a new Act really needed?

Aims and objectives:

What the Act really aims at? Is there any hidden agenda to gain political mileage? Answers to such and other questions must be searched for by a secular (in its truest sense) and nationalistic mind.
