\"\"Amritsar: An Indian passport holder, Sharmeen Irfan, is attempting to return to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah border crossing in Amritsar.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Sharmeen Irfan, who has been married to a Pakistani national for 12 years and has a young child, came to India to visit her ailing mother.<\/p>\n

She obtained a visa from the Pakistan embassy, which advised her to cross the border on the same day. She is now trying to return to her husband and child in Karachi.<\/p>\n

Sharmeen Irfan condemned the recent Pahalgam terror attack, calling for an end to terrorism and strict action against those responsible. \u201cThe incident which happened (in Pahalgam) was wrong. Terrorism should be ended, but why is the common man being troubled?\u201d she questioned.<\/p>\n

She expressed frustration over the complexities of border crossings and the impact on ordinary people. She hopes to return to her family in Pakistan soon.<\/p>\n

Another woman, a half-Pakistani national, also expressed her frustration over the separation of families due to border restrictions. She appealed to the government to allow her to return to Pakistan with her children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who did this attack should be severely punished. But what is our fault in this? Why are our families being separated? Who will talk about what is happening with cross-border families? I appeal to the government to let me go to Pakistan with my children. I am a half-Pakistani national. I obtained a Pakistani visa yesterday,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, was one of the deadliest attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama attack.<\/p>\n

Following the Indian government\u2019s decision to cancel Pakistani visas, many Pakistani citizens, including Suraj Kumar, a Pakistani Hindu, are returning to Pakistan through the Attari border crossing. Kumar expressed his desire to reunite with his family and criticised the suffering of common citizens due to border tensions.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201d \u2026once the border opens, we will go home, to our children\u2026what happened is wrong (Pahalgam attack)\u2026if discussions happen, then only solutions can be found\u2026we common citizens are suffering\u2026I had come here to meet my family members, I couldn\u2019t visit everyone\u2026I wanted to take my mother to Haridwar\u2026I stay in Balochistan and belong to a Hindu family.\u201d<\/p>\n
