A 24-member Pakistani Hindu family from Sanghar has returned to Pakistan through the Wagah Border after spending nearly two years in India. The family had been living in Ahmedabad, where they said they faced significant hardship and difficulties in accessing basic services.
According to the family head, Rano, they initially moved to India in search of better living conditions. However, they encountered challenges in everyday life, including issues with school admissions for children, access to ration supplies, and medical treatment. The family also reported facing discrimination due to their Pakistani identity.
The situation reportedly worsened following rising tensions between Pakistan and India, leading to increased scrutiny of Pakistani nationals by local authorities and security personnel. The family alleged that such conditions made their stay increasingly difficult.
Upon their return, family members expressed relief and happiness at being back in Pakistan. Their experience highlights the challenges faced by cross-border migrants and the impact of political tensions on ordinary citizens.
The return comes at a time when movement across the Pakistan-India border remains limited, with the Wagah crossing opening only under specific circumstances.
