21 Hindus flee Pakistan, enter India through Attari border

Attari: Two extended Pakistani Hindu families entered India through the Attari border near Amritsar with all their belongings and travelled onward to Jodhpur and settle there, coinciding with the flight of minorities from Bangladesh in the face of a backlash accompanying the fall of the govt there.
A Jodhpur resident identifying himself as Ashok received 16 Pakistani Hindu relatives of his wife and five members of another family from Rahim Yar Khan in Pakistan's Punjab province to escort them to Rajasthan. He said his brother-in-law Darshan and father-in-law Birya Ram had decided not to return, but didn’t specify the reason. Some in the group said more Hindu families might arrive from Pakistan soon. A hired bus took the two families to Jodhpur.
Sources at the Attari border checkpoint said some people in the group spoke of their apprehensions about possible attacks on Hindus in Pakistan during immigration formalities. They suggested that the violence in Bangladesh hastened their decision to leave Pakistan for good, the sources said.
“The two families applied for tourist visas. The plan changed after what happened in Bangladesh. They hastily packed their belongings to relocate to India,” an official said.
