NEW DELHI (The Thursday Times) — Bharat ne mulk mein muqeem baaz Pakistani shehriyon ke liye passport ke qawaid mein narmi kar di hai. Yeh chhoot un afraad ke liye hai jo 2010 se pehle wahan aabad hue aur Pakistani Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) na hone ki wajah se apne passport ki tajdeed nahin kara sakte.
Yeh tabdeeli Immigration and Foreigners (Exemption) (Amendment) Order, 2026 ka hissa hai, jise Bharti wizarat-e-dakhla ne Jumeraat ko sarkari gazette mein shaya kiya. Is ka itlaq un Pakistani shehriyon par hota hai jo 31 December 2009 ya us se pehle mustaqil rehaish ke iraade se Bharat aaye.
Sharait sakht hain. Darkhwast guzar ne Pakistan mein na shadi ki ho aur na koi jaidad khareedi ho, Pakistan jaate waqt Bharti shehriyat rakhne wale ahl-e-khana ko peeche chhora ho, aur Pakistan wapas na jaane ka ehd kare. Notification ke mutabiq police aur security idaron ki jaanib se koi manfi report bhi nahin honi chahiye.
Aur kaun shamil hai: Afghanistan, Bangladesh aur Pakistan se aane wale Hindu, Sikh, Buddh, Jain, Parsi aur Masihi tarikeen-e-watan jo 31 December 2024 ya us se pehle Bharat mein dakhil hue, jin mein woh bhi shamil hain jin ke paas durust passport nahin ya jin ka passport khatam ho chuka hai; 9 January 2015 ya us se pehle Bharat mein panah lene wale registered Sri Lankan Tamil; 1959 se 30 May 2003 ke darmiyan Bharti ijazat namon par ya us ke baad khaas dakhla permit par Nepal ke raaste aane wale Tibbati; aur Malaysia ya Singapore ki shehriyat lene wale Bharti nazhad afraad jo 2009 ke aakhir tak Bharat laut aaye.
Yeh hukmnama passport ki shart khatam karta hai, visa ki nahin: in tamam afraad ko Bharat mein rehne ke liye munasib visa lena hoga.
Hukmname mein Nepal aur Bhutan ke saath Bharat ki khuli sarhadon ke qawaid bhi badle gaye hain. Teenon mulkon ke shehri aapas mein barah-e-raast zameeni ya fizai safar ke liye passport ke bajaye Bharti visa manual mein darj shanakhti dastavezat dikha sakte hain. Taham China, Macau, Hong Kong ya Pakistan se safar shuru karne ya wahan se guzarne wale Nepali aur Bhutani shehriyon ke paas durust passport aur visa hona lazmi hai, aur Nepal ya Bhutan ke raaste doosre mulkon jaane wale Bhartiyon ko passport rakhna aur muqarrara immigration chowkiyon se guzarna hoga.
Duty par safar karne wale Bharti barri, bahri aur fizai afwaj ke ahlkar aur sarkari transport par un ke saath safar karne wale ahl-e-khana bhi mustasna hain, isi tarah murammat ke liye Bharat aane wale ghair mulki fauji jahazon ka amla bhi, basharte un ke paas fauji shanakht ho.
