They are protesting because they want to be with their respective spouse, it is as simple as this can they sacrifice for their comfort for their love. And by the way isn't it the norm in our society the woman should live with her husband.
They want to be with their spouses in Pakistan and want them to be granted citizenship. But people here are very arrogantly suggesting them to go live Afghanistan if they want to be with them. How is that a solution? I would care less if no Pakistani was involved in this situation but these women and children are Pakistani and for that reason alone we need to make exception for their spouses.
