Centre has decided to exempt minority community nationals from Bangladesh and Pakistan in regularization of their entry and stay in India on humanitarian grounds. The Government issued two notifications under the Passport Act and the Foreigners Act today. An official release issued by the Home Ministry said, there are reports that a number of Bangladeshi and Pakistani nationals belonging to minority communities in those countries were compelled to seek shelter in India due to religious persecution or fear of religious persecution. They entered India either without any valid document or with documents whose validity has expired.
