🔥🇮🇳 Relief Announcement by India’s Home Ministry
In a major development, the Ministry of Home Affairs (India) has announced a relief measure for certain non-Muslim migrants who entered India from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. According to the decision, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians who arrived in India due to religious persecution before December 31, 2024, will be allowed to stay in the country even if they do not have valid passports or travel documents.
The announcement is linked to the framework of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which provides a legal pathway for eligible individuals from these communities to apply for Indian citizenship. The provision also covers migrants who entered the country without proper documentation or whose visas and passports have expired.
Officials say the move is meant to provide stability and legal clarity to thousands of people who sought refuge in India after facing discrimination or insecurity in neighboring countries. Supporters describe the decision as a humanitarian step reflecting India’s tradition of offering shelter to those fleeing persecution, while discussions around migration policies and citizenship laws continue across political and legal platforms.
