For the first time in Delhi elections, votes cast tears, ink to be Indian on the finger of Hindu refugees
New Delhi
Hindu refugees from Pakistan in the Mahaparva of democracy also sacrificed votes in Delhi on Wednesday. As soon as the ink of being an Indian on his finger, the tears spilled with the face blossoming. These refugees have voted in the Delhi elections for the first time after getting India’s citizenship. He came to Delhi in the year 2013 from Hyderabad city of Sindh province of Pakistan in Mahakumbh, Uttar Pradesh. For some reason he could not reach Mahakumbh. During this time, he had decided that the tortures which were right in Pakistan would not bear now and will not return again. He wrote letters to the Government of India demanding to extend his visa period at that time. Jantar-Mantar also performed for several days to stay in India. After this, Hindu refugees have been living here in Majnu Ka Tila since 2013-2014.
Two hundred people are voters
Hindu refugee Dharambir Bagdi said that we had been struggling for basic facilities for a long time. In Chandni Chowk assembly constituency, 1009 people are living in Majnu’s mound camp. 200 of these people have got citizenship so far. After getting the right to vote on Wednesday, we hope that all the refugees will get citizenship. Soon we will meet the central government and express my gratitude.
Ramchandra said- Mother India adopted us
Hindu refugee Ramchandra said, “It is proud that Mother India has adopted us.” Several refugees went to the polling station located in a government school in Majnu’s mound on Wednesday. In Pakistan, neither the government nor the court takes any step for the rights of Hindus. We were not even heard there. We will never bear the torture that our previous generations faced from 1947 to 2013. We are most happy with the right to vote.
Hope to solve problems
Nainwanti told that all families were living a very struggling life in the camp for the last 11 years. Last year, a letter was also received from a department for action to break the camp. However, the matter is now under consideration in court. We hope that now our issues and problems will be resolved.
Change felt
Manna reached the polling station of Majnu from Faridabad to vote. He said that this experience was completely new to me. When I went to the polling station, I did not know how to vote or which party represents, but when pressed the button, I felt the change that I finally got a voice now. Hindu refugee Reshma said that I am 50 years old. I have voted for the first time in life. I only used the franchise for the future of my family to choose a candidate.
