KARACHI: The latest migration figures show that Muslims in large numbers are being gradually driven out from Bharat. The exodus from Bharat which continues uncheel(ed is indicative of the administration of justice in that country. It seems part of a deliberate plan to unsettle Muslims by persecution, harassment and economic and social boycott, as they are considered undesirable in Bharat today. Tal(ing one Bharati province alone West Bengal 11,774 Muslims entered East Pal(istan during the six days from Sept 3, 1951 to Sept 8, 1951. The total from April 12, 1950 to Sept 8, 1951 comes to 14,19,459.
Conditions in East Pal(istan, on the other hand, are so attractive that a large number of Hindus are pouring into the province.
During the six days of this month from Sept 3, 1951 to Sept 8, 1951 the number of Hindus entering East Pal(istan is 20,835. The grand total from April 12, 1950 to Sept 8, 1951 comes to 31,35,724.
