After the Pahalgam incident, BJP MP from Godda Nishikant Dubey has been expressing worries about what he described as the "new face of Pakistani terrorism". Dubey recently raised the issue of Pakistani women who have moved to India marrying Indian citizens but without having Indian Citizenship.
He claimed that ‘Pakistani nationals living in India under the guise of marriage,' and called for a probe into such arrangements and urged the Centre to tighten the visa system.
Dubey stated that there is a hidden agenda behind these marriages and questioned whether matrimonial matches within Indian society were hard to find.
Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 that resulted in 26 casualties, India implemented strict measures against Pakistan. These included the immediate cancellation of all visa categories for Pakistani citizens from April 27, with exceptions made for long-term, diplomatic, and official visas.
As per reports, around 530 Pakistani nationals exited India via the Attari integrated check post between April 25 and 27, while 744 Indian nationals returned from Pakistan via Wagah in the same period.
"When the process of visa cancellations began, two types of visas emerged and an in-depth investigation is required. Pakistani girls have been married here, and they cannot become citizens of India and have been living here for years," the MP said.
He added, "Even Pakistani men have been married into India. What is the motive behind these marriages, it needs to be investigated."
Dubey said, "Those who migrated to Pakistan in 1947, their properties were taken over by the government under the Enemy Property Act," adding that this implies that Indians marrying their daughters into Pakistan and Pakistanis marrying their daughters into India are enemies of this country. "We need to deal with them first," he added.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has also called for a suspension of water supply to Bangladesh, following India's decision to halt the Indus Waters Treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack. The attack, which claimed 26 lives, prompted India to cut water supply to Pakistan, and now Dubey is urging similar action against Bangladesh. He cited the flawed 1996 Ganga water agreement between India and Bangladesh during Congress rule.
"The agreement for the waters of the Ganga was wrong, and it was a mistake made by the Congress government in 1996," Dubey said. He questioned the logic of continuing to share water with countries allegedly linked to terrorism. "How long will we provide water to snakes? It's time to crush them," he added.
