New face of terrorism: 5 lakh Pakistani girls married in India but didn't obtain citizenship

BJP Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey has said that a new face of Pakistani terrorism has surfaced in India, pointing to over five lakh Pakistani women living in the country after marriage who have not yet obtained Indian citizenship.

Taking to social media platform X on Monday, Dubey wrote in Hindi (loosely translated), "A new face of Pakistani terrorism has now surfaced. More than 5 lakh Pakistani girls are living in India after getting married, but they have not obtained Indian citizenship to date. How to fight these enemies who are inside?"

पाकिस्तानी आतंकवाद का एक नया चेहरा अब सामने आया,लगभग 5 लाख से उपर पाकिस्तानी लड़की भारत में शादी कर हिंदुस्तान में रह रही है,आजतक उनको भारत की नागरिकता नहीं मिली है ।अंदर घुसे इन दुश्मनों से लड़ना कैसे?

Dubey’s remarks come as the deadline for Pakistani citizens to leave India ended. As per reports, around 530 Pakistani nationals exited via the Attari integrated check post between April 25 and 27, while 744 Indian nationals returned from Pakistan via Wagah during the same period.

Visa Revocations After Pahalgam Attack

Following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed, India revoked the visas of Pakistani nationals, barring those on long-term visas and those belonging to officials and diplomats.

The government’s move was part of a wider crackdown in response to the deadly terror incident, underlining India’s firm stand on terror emanating from across the border.

Pakistan Will Cease to Exist by 2025, Asserts Dubey

On Sunday, Dubey made a bold claim during the foundation stone laying ceremony of Maheshmara railway halt in Deoghar district, Jharkhand, saying that Pakistan would cease to exist by the end of 2025.

He asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent statement in Bihar regarding the Pahalgam incident carried serious implications. According to Dubey, Modi's vow to eliminate terrorism and its supporters will lead to the division of Pakistan into separate nations named Balochistan, Pakhtunistan, and Punjab.

"We will reclaim the part of Kashmir that Pakistan has occupied. Also, Pakistan will be divided into separate countries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will ensure this," Dubey said confidently.

Attack on Hindus, Pakistan Army Accused

Referring to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Dubey accused the Pakistani Army of selectively targeting Indians, especially Hindus.

He assured that the Modi government will avenge the attack at any cost, emphasizing that the government is fully committed to safeguarding every Indian citizen and eliminating terrorism from its roots.
