[jkvlondon]

Sad to hear that even afterspending their own money on flats and businesses after 1947 , Mumbai refugees from Punjab are still not secure and are being made homeless again by court order:

Talking of indian governments I was asked to give my fingerprints at amritsar airport but no one else was asked! Is this normal? The indian government basically have my fingerprints! This happened in December 2017 around the time jaggi got arrested. Maybe it was for security reasons       but they only took mine!

LOL why would I be happy?  I just find it odd how they decided to take my fingerprint. I don't think those people trust sikhs especially nri sikhs.

there's hellva difference between biometric passport scans and fingerprint scans of Usa say , and Punjab's suspect behaviour , I've been back and forth to loads of places and only USA asked for my prints to complete my biometrics submitted .
