In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday called chief ministers of all the states and directed them to ensure that no Pakistani nationals stay in India beyond the stipulated deadline set for their departure from India, sources said.
Earlier on Thursday, India had announced cancellation of all visas issued to Pakistani nationals from April 27 and advised Indian nationals in Pakistan to come back to the country as soon as possible amid escalating tensions between the two countries over the recent horrific April 22 terror attack in Baisaran valley that has sent the entire country into mourning.
Reportedly, Shah personally called up the chief ministers of all the states and asked them to ensure that no Pakistani citizens extend their stay in India beyond the deadline set.
The chief ministers were also asked to identify the Pakistani nationals staying in their respective areas and ensure their deportation, the sources said
