In a letter to Indian premier Narendra Modi, a member of the Ahmadi community in India has urged him to grant citizenship to Pakistani women who are married to Indians and have been living in the country since decades.
Accusing the Modi-led government of religious discrimination, the media in-charge of the Ahmadi Muslim Jamaat in India, Chaudhary Maqbool Ahmad, said, “Our prime minister talks of women empowerment but these women who have been married in India for past 10 to 35 years even can’t call themselves Indians, leave alone go out of Qadian.”
Qadian, north-east of Amritsar, is the Ahmadi headquarters in India.
Speaking to the Times of India, Maqbool said the external affair ministry’s website is proof that only a handful of Muslims are granted Indian citizenship.

A genuine demand and be considered on humantarian grounds. Ahmadiyya teachings ask for loyalties to the country where on lives. Last 125 years history supports this view point. So Mr Modi go ahead as Ahmadiyya will never make a problem for you.
No Indian Govt. should grant this request. Muslims of all denominations demanded a country and got one and they should go there.
And what is the need to continue a relationship with a country that is killing Indian citizens. return them to Pakistan and get new ones from the Muslim community in India. There will be many available if the rule of one per family is adopted.
Bhutto left his Indian wife in Junagadh and married a new one in Pakistan!
The law is the law!
