    If there is determination, they can struggle and achieve what they want. If there is somebody calling you with open arms saying you are tortured at your place, obviously India will have exodus of Hindus, seeking citizenship.

    There are hundreds, if not thousands, with strong determination but unfortunately in a country like Pakistan the door of achievement is closed to them. This Senator's case is just an eyewash, 1 in a million. Have you heard the case of Asia Bibi and hundreds like her?
