Karachi: Indian government said that people with its origin, living in different countries and former residents of undivided India, will be granted citizenship provided that they will not have not soft corner for Pakistan.
Press Bureau of Information, Government of India, has issued recently new policy for citizenship, underlining the specific conditions for Pakistan in all over world. “The applicant has not exhibited sympathies toward Pakistan at any time.”
A person of India origin who is ordinary resident in any country or place outside undivided India is eligible for grant of Indian citizenship by registration under section 5(1) (b) of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
Under the law, Pakistanis who were born in sub-continent before independence are also eligible for citizenship. Besides Pakistanis living outside or in Pakistan are also eligible for citizenship if their either of parents were born in undivided India however they are legally bound for not showing any sympathizes with Pakistan.
“The applicant is a person of Indian origin i.e. He, or either of his parents was born in undivided India.” The applicant has real ties and interest in India i.e. by way of dependents, relatives, property etc. and has the intention of finally settling down in India.
As per law, the applicant has not acquired the citizenship of any other country by his own volition.
The new laws of applying Indian citizenships are highly prejudice as it targets Pakistan only despite there were lots of dialogues were carried at higher level for improving ties of two countries.
Indian government should not have pinpointed Pakistan in the scenario, which reflects its dual policy in the peace process. On the other hand, it shows the hatred behavior of Indian government and its bureaucracy for Pakistan, who are ready to embrace anyone having anti-state sentiments and activities in Pakistan.
