The Jammu and Kashmir govt led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced an amnesty policy in 2010 for those who crossed the border for arms training to Pakistan between 1989 and 2009. Under the amnesty scheme former militants could return to Kashmir and be united with their families. Four entry points were approved including the Wagah border and the Indira Gandhi International Airport Delhi for returning militants with their wives and children who had shunned the path of violence. However most avoided these routes and instead chose to come from Nepal. Many Kashmiri men had crossed the LoC into PoK in the nineties to get arms training after militancy erupted. Some married there and after giving up violence. The Pakistani wives of former militants who returned to Kashmir after the announcement of the amnesty policy have been demanding that they must be deported or given Indian citizenship. They have appealed to human rights organisations to intervene. India says Jammu and Kashmir, including the area under Pakistani occupation, is its Territory. But women from PoK are not entitled to Indian citizenship. Sociologists say settling in a new culture with no hope of returning to the country of origin and meeting with families puts a lot of pressure on such women leading to hopelessness and depression.
