District administration was directed to expedite the verification and identification process.
Challenging the delay in granting Indian citizenship to migrant Pakistani Hindus, a public interest litigation (PIL) was filed before Madhya Pradesh High Court in March 2014 by Pujya Jacobabad Zila Sindhi Panchayat, a social organization working for welfare of migrant Sindhis, on behalf of nearly 6,000 migrant Pakistani Hindus staying in Indore, following which notices were issued to Union ministry of home, ministry of external affairs, Government of India and Government of Madhya Pradesh.
On Tuesday union government filed an affidavit before court claiming that a special task force (STF) was formed to expedite the citizenship issues of migrant Pakistani Hindus. Double bench of Justices PK Jaiswal and Alok Verma directed to address the issues in four months.
Counselor for petitioner, Raghvendra Singh Raghuvanshi said the issue of granting Indian citizenship to these persons was also raised in Parliament in 2012 and 2013, but to no avail. Though some of them have been granted Indian citizenship, their minor children, who came to India along with their parents bearing appropriate endorsement on their Pakistani passports, are not being granted citizenship despite completion of the necessary formalities by them.
This undue delay is blatant violation of human rights and other legal rights as these Pakistani Hindus are unable to seek employment or earn livelihood, purchase vehicles, house, even stamp papers on their own name for want of identity cards and citizenship.
