Pakistani Doctor Granted Indian Citizenship After Years of Wait
Dr. Mukhi, who came from Pakistan to India in 2009, has finally become an Indian citizen.
He left Pakistan due to discrimination and hoped for a better life.
After many years and legal hurdles, he received his citizenship certificate.
This means he is now officially recognized as an Indian citizen, allowing him to live a full life and access the rights and opportunities that come with citizenship.
His wife and daughter already have citizenship, while some family members are still in the process.
Dr. Nanikraz Khanoomal Mukhi, who arrived from Pakistan in 2009, was granted Indian citizenship.
Mukhi, a Sindhi Hindu, faced discrimination in Pakistan and sought a better life in India.
He applied for citizenship in 2016, renounced his Pakistani citizenship in 2021, and received his certificate on August 5.
