Zahida, a 30-year-old breast cancer patient, expresses her distress about the possibility of returning to Pakistan after recent tensions escalated between India and Pakistan. Following a militant attack in late April that resulted in the deaths of 26 people, India imposed punitive measures that included expelling Pakistani nationals. Many affected include long-term residents and spouses of Indian citizens. As fears grow over retribution, over 780 Pakistanis are reported to have left India. The situation highlights the fraught relationship and the implications of national policies on personal lives.
Zahida says, 'I'm not worried about my disease. The thought of going back to Pakistan is killing me,' reflecting the deep anxiety faced by Pakistani nationals in India.
Post-attack punitive measures saw a swift deportation of Pakistani nationals, including those married to Indians, showcasing heightened tensions in a volatile region.
