Shaurya Chakra Awardee's Mother Among Pakistanis Being Deported From J&K

  • Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir began deporting 60 Pakistani nationals, including the mother of Shaurya Chakra awardee Mudasir Ahmad Shaikh, on Tuesday from various districts to Pakistan via Punjab and Wagah border.
  • This action follows the 2010 rehabilitation policy for former militants and the central government's recent measures triggered by last week's Pahalgam terror attack and ensuing diplomatic tensions with Islamabad.
  • Among the deportees are mainly spouses and children of ex-militants who had settled in districts including Srinagar, Baramulla, Budgam, and Shopian, with 36 residing in Srinagar alone.
  • Mudasir Shaikh lost his life in a counterterrorism operation in May 2022 and was honored posthumously with the Shaurya Chakra; his mother, Shameema Akhtar, accepted the medal during an official ceremony held in the national capital in May 2023.
  • The deportation has sparked criticism from family members like Mudasir's uncle Mohammad Younus, who appealed to Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah, saying "Only those who are truly Pakistani citizens should be expelled.
