00:00We have refugee camps in the signature bridge, where there are people who are living in Pakistan,
00:04and police are still working on the verification of the police.
00:06What is the situation for refugee camps?
00:09How many people are living illegally?
00:11It's not illegal because of visa and passports,
00:14but for 6 months, 5 months, 2 months and 15 months,
00:17we have been working on the verification here,
00:20that if there is an LTV, we will keep the LTV,
00:23and if there is not going to be a wrong way, we will go out.
00:28So, we will do the procession,
00:31which will remain in the wrong way.
00:35So, we will say to the police,
00:37and we will go out.
00:38Do you know who people are illegally living here?
00:43The visa has expired?
00:45It's illegal because there is no visa or passport,
00:48but there is no time for some people who are living here,
00:51they will not apply to LTV.
00:54Now, we are applying for LTV,
00:57and there is a lot of fear and fear,
00:59because we are leaving Pakistan,
01:01and we are leaving Pakistan,
01:02and we are leaving Pakistan,
01:03and we are leaving Pakistan,
01:04and we don't want to go back.
01:05We don't want to go back.
01:06Especially Hindus,
01:07and we don't want to go back.
01:08But one thing,
01:09tell us,
01:10that many people have expired people,
01:12and applied,
01:13and now they are under-processes.
01:14So, what happens to them?
01:16To tell us,
01:17we are doing the same thing.
01:18They are doing the same thing,
01:19and we will not do the same thing,
01:20but we don't want to go back.
01:21Why don't we go back to Pakistan?
01:24Why don't we want to go back to Pakistan?
01:25That's the situation of Hindu people.
01:26Because of them,
01:27we still don't want to go back.
01:29If we don't want to have a wrong job.
01:32If we don't want to go back,
01:33then we go back again.
01:35But we will not do the same job.
01:37We don't want to go back.
01:38That's the same thing we have to go back.
01:41so here you see that the pradhan here at the refugee camp near signature bridge is clearly saying
02:09that whosoever are the perpetrators should be punished but the hindus and the other people who are living here not be bothered
