SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday urged the government to reconsider the decision to deport Pakistani citizens who are married to Indians and have been living here for many years

She said a compassionate approach needs to be adopted.

“The recent government directive to deport all Pakistani nationals from India has raised serious humanitarian concerns, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. Many affected are women who came to India 30-“40 years ago, married Indian citizens, raised families and have long been part of our society,” Mufti said in a post on X.
