Eighteen Hindu refugees from Pakistan residing in Ahmedabad have been granted Indian citizenship during a camp attended by Gujarat Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi.
At the camp organised at the District Collector's office on March 16, Mr. Sanghavi conferred Indian citizenship to the 18 persons and urged them to work together to realise the dream of a new India.
"It is expected that all of you will be determined to participate in the development journey of the country," he said, adding the central and state governments were committed to bringing all those who have obtained Indian citizenship to the society's mainstream.
