Deport our bodies to Pak, not us: Hindu refugees
New Delhi : Fear of deportation looms large over a group of 479 Pakistani Hindu refugees as their visas expire today but they are firmly set against returning to Pakistan, saying they will prefer to die than go back.
“We don’t know what will happen to us but what we do know is that if we are deported, it will be our bodies not us. We will die but not return to Pakistan,” Dharamveer, a farmer from Pakistan said.
The group comprises 83 women, 86 men and 311 children – of whom one died a few days ago. Nahar Singh, an ex-soldier, is looking after these refugees. He had also sheltered 146 Pakistani Hindu refugees in 2011.
