A 70-year-old man, Mohammad Hasnain, and his 31-year-old son, Ishaaq Amir, who were residents of New Delhi, India, have arrived in Karachi, Pakistan, and have sought asylum from the Pakistani government.
If we believe in the images of their passports and videos shared on Pakistani social media, it confirms their Indian nationality, residence in New Delhi, with their native state being Jharkhand.
In the video, both individuals explain that they have faced multiple instances of mistreatment in India.
Their journey to Pakistan was meticulously planned. They departed from New Delhi on September 5th, traveled to Dubai on a visa, obtained an Afghan visa on September 7th, reached Kabul on September 8th, and then proceeded to Kandahar by air. From there, they used a taxi to cross the Chaman border into Pakistan.
They paid a taxi driver 10,000 rupees to get to Quetta and an additional 50,000 rupees to reach Hub in Balochistan. From Hub, they traveled to Karachi by bus. They then contacted the police, who took them to Edhi Foundation Sohrab Goth Center.
According to a representative speaking on their behalf to Geo News, they do not have a place to stay, and they are currently residing at the Edhi Foundation Sohrab Goth Center. They express their reluctance to return to India, citing ongoing mistreatment of Muslims in the country as their primary reason.
This situation highlights the challenges faced by some individuals seeking refuge due to perceived persecution in their home countries.
