In Jammu and Kashmir, nearly sixty Pakistani women and their children, most of them married to former Kashmiri terrorists, were deported to Pakistan through the Wagah border yesterday. The families, which gathered from districts including Srinagar, Baramulla, Kupwara, Budgam, and Shopian, were escorted in buses to Punjab for handover to Pakistani authorities. Many of the women had entered Kashmir under the 2010 rehabilitation policy for former terrorists. Eleven Pakistani nationals who had entered India on valid visas nearly 45 years ago in Mendhar, Poonch, were also sent back. After the Pahalgam terror attack, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had directed heads of the States and Union Territories to identify and remove and deport Pakistani citizens from their respective States and UTs immediately.
