    They copied from some Dawn article 'A burden on economy' published on April 26, 2024, which was talking about beggers within Pakistan.. but the print actually took those figures in the context of some other report on Pakistani beggars in other countries.. So it becomes nothing more than a click bait.

    @@-YOUNG_MASTER- India's naivety? LOL. Your comment is such that NO STATEMENT MAKES SENSE and you are calling a nation naive. Let me break down some of your BS. "All the Ms in India shouldn't have accepted Partition if they wanted equal treatment and rights." And you have no evidence for your statement. At no time did ALL THE MUSLIMS vote for Pakistan. Not only NOT ALL MUSLIM vote for it, most didn't vote. They were not allowed to vote. So, those who voted, didn't vote unanimously and those who couldn't vote and those who weren't allowed to vote seemingly don't count for you. And those who voted for it didn't understand the consequences of it. Most logical Pakistanis today will tell you their regrets of creating a nation like Pakistan. I am sure you like APJ Kalam, Industrialists like Azim Premji and converts like Rahman and Muslim cricketers when they contribute to victories for BCCI's team, specially against Pakistan and soldiers like Hamid and freedom fighters like Ashfaqulla Khan. I am happy that these are our citizens though I wish that bigots like you could somehow be filtered and what you wish for others be applied to people like you. People like you don't deserve to be citizens of any good society. I am anti-Islamic, but I am not anti-Muslim. I understand the issues of Islam and I consider devout/tribal Muslims to be diseased, and hence to be cured of it, NOT eliminated.

    @@Utubeisevil want to learn everything from WA or youtube comments lad? It will take hours for me to type it out why the definition is stupid and that is the reason the government has not been able to to NRC. It is not about 99% people being citizens. It is about 100% people being objectively defined citizens. Those 1% are 10 million people for which no government has any practical plan I hope you understood. If not, read the citizenship laws and try to tell me what to do with the child who was born in India of Bangladeshi Hindus who crossed over to India in 2015. That child is already 9 years old now. Also tell me what to do of the Bangladeshi Muslim women who crossed over to India in 1971 and lost her husband after 2 years and then married a Hindu and now has 5 children with this man and 2 children from her Muslim husband. The women is now 65 and children are 33 to 50 years old with each having big families with even grandchildren. And tell me all this BASED ON THE CITIZENSHIP LAW with WHAT TO DO WITH THEM under the political situation we are in, not your personal wish list. Details!
