Jaipur: The Pakistani Hindu community residing in western Rajasthan, including the ones who have got Indian citizenship and those who are yet to get it, felt betrayed by the manifesto of BJP.Now, they have pinned their hopes on Congress which has considered their demands on a favourable note.BJP in its recently released manifesto said that it will take all the necessary steps to give citizenship to the Pakistani Hindu community.However, opposition Congress has guaranteed citizenship rights by setting up an independent institutional mechanism at the state level to ensure all-round infrastructural development of the areas where migrants are living.Hindu Singh Sodha, president of Seemant Lok Sangathan, welcomed the comprehensive commitments by Congress in its manifesto.Talking to TOI, Sodha said, “They have promised to set up an independent institutional mechanism at the state level to take care of holistic development and rehabilitation of the migrant community. We hope Congress sticks to its commitment if they get mandate to serve the state.”On the BJP and its manifesto, he said, “We are disheartened to observe that we are ignored this time in the BJP state election manifesto. Migrants have been desperately hoping from the BJP to revisit their migrants’ related commitments they made in recently announced manifesto and should come up with supplementary robust commitments to satisfy the dispirited community.”Sodha added that in spite of vigorous legal regime announced by ministry of home affairs government of India for the migrants around 28 months back, most of those are not implemented at ground yet.There are around 1.25 lakh Hindu migrants living in western Rajasthan and mainly affected the constituencies including Barmer, Sheo, Chohatan, Kolayat, Khajuwala, Sursagar and Jodhpur. At least 17,000 people are living in Jodhpur alone.
