Should Pakistan take the Bahirs Loyal to them in 1971?

[fitpOsitive]

They live as 2nd class citizens in Bangladesh and the BD govt surely isnt going to do anything to help them, shouldn't Pakistan take them, since they were allies?

Why they stood with Pakistan, I don't know. In Pakistan they will face enmity anyway. Better to die in the hands of Bengalis, who are not hypocrats at least.

There have been efforts to mainstream the Biharis over the years but they are playing their own games.

This little quote sums up their thinking:

"Pakistan is our home and we want to exercise our citizen rights only after going there," said Shoukat Ali, leader of the Stranded Pakistanis General Repatriation Committee (SPGRC).

"Until then, we don't want to lose our refugee status in Bangladesh, which guarantees us a life in the camps with free food ration"


That is the voice of the older generation - opportunists, who don't want to lose the benefits of being a refugee while paying lip service to Pakistan. If Pakistan is happy to take this lot, good riddance.

Thankfully the young generation are much better.

Yes - ideally if we could swap them for some of the PTM, BLA, Sindudesh types.

Biharis unlike afghan refugees will actually help Pakistan and be loyal to Pakistan if we take them in. We should have took them in long ago way before we took in afghan refugees

We should welcome them and should make bihari bastis next to afghan bastis esp. around ptm strongholds..they will wave our flag on their heads every day.. will be fun to watch.
