Minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan seeking refuge in India can now apply manually

[rockstarIN]

NEW DELHI: Pakistani and Afghanistani nationals belonging to the minority community, who have sought refuge in India fearing religious persecution back home, may now apply for Indian citizenship manually.

The government has relaxed the norms mandating online submission of applications in view of the difficulties faced by such applicants.

"Union home minister Rajnath Singh has considered the difficulties being encountered by the minority community nationals of Pakistan and Afghanistan for submitting their applications for grant of Indian citizenship...(He) has permitted the manual acceptance of applications...(by) such individuals who had entered India prior to 31.12.2009," the home ministry said on Thursday.

India should first concentrate on her own minority citizens who are being massacred, butchered and discriminated against on a daily basis according to PDF. Only then India should think about minorities of other countries.

Not a good idea when country is already filled with 1.3 billion.

We wont reject the refugees that
came to India for protection.We always maintain that culture , even if it cause
problems ,like we accepted Dalai Lama and took the wrath of PRC.

 

[NEPALESE GURKHA]

We dont leave the refugees that
came to India for protection.We always maintain that culture , even if it cause
problems ,like we accepted Dalai Lama and took the wrath of PRC.

Totally suicidal decision of Nehru welcoming Dalai Lama home. India needs to be practical.

Yes .We know that and suffered for thousands of years.
But our Great Kings and Patriots maintain that culture.
That is why Jews maintained their own community in country for hundreds years who came here a refugees due persecution.
In these case these peoples are already in here for more than 7 years. So our laws permitted them to apply for citizenship .Our Govt are just reducing useless procedures.
Thats all.

1 crore figure by your data returns home to Nepal which is an open boarder, meanwhile same number of Indian leaves in Nepal too.
