Jodhpur:Pakistani Hindu refugees who have been staying in Jodhpur expressed their happiness over the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
"We are happy about the passage of CAA. 70-80 percent of migrants here are SC/STs," one of them said while expressing regret over Congress and some other groups opposing it.
He stressed that around 15-20 people amongst them were born in India but had to leave to earn their living.
"Around 15-20 people among us are those who were born in India, they got married here but they went to Pakistan only to earn their living. Later, these borders came up. We have come back. Most of those who are coming back are Bhils," he said.
An elderly person who identified himself as Ranjeeta Ram said, "I was 15-16 years old. We went there to feed ourselves. Now we have come back. We should get citizenship. We are from this side only."
