Central government of India needs a big applause for the action taken to provide shelter to the minority group of people who are Pakistani nationals and entered India before December last year. As we all know, the minorities in Pakistan are treated as a second class citizens, being forced to convert to Islam failing which they are killed, maimed and forced to marry into the Muslim families. There is no chance for them to educate themselves, being part of the election and judicial system or enjoy any type of freedom of speech. Their life in Pakistan is not better than a person in the prison for a life time. This action is a step in the right direction to alleviate their sufferings, and with the hope that they can have a decent human life in India with a full liberty of speech, faith and freedom. Not knowing the details of this communication granting them a stay in India even though their documents/visas have expired, this writer would like to see another friendly and humanely gesture on the part of an Indian government and that is to provide these new settlers financial support as a seed money for lodging, boarding and starting some small scale business so that they can stand on their feet and become productive members of the community along with some assistance towards education for their children. This will have a long term political gain for the BJP and more over a long lasting good wishes for India.
