It should be noted that when the Chinese city of Wuhan became the center of the Coronavirus, not only the students living there were desperate to return to Pakistan, but Pakistani students and ordinary citizens living in other parts of China visited their country. However, Pakistani authorities refused to bring back Pakistani students, to which the parents of the students knocked on the court door, but the government took the stand that they could not be brought back.
DW then took the comments of many of them, many of whom were desperate to return to Pakistan, but now they believe that their stay in China has proved to be better and they do not want to return to Pakistan in the current situation.
Talking to DW, Nadeem Bhatti, a student from Leh, who is studying Civil Engineering at Huzong University for Science and Technology there, said that it was an emotional decision for the students, "I think we People were swept away by emotions. Wuhan had become the global hub of Corona and we were all worried. When our parents were also in trouble, we demanded to go back to Pakistan but now we feel that our decision to stay there was right as there are not enough test kits in Pakistan. Doctors do not have PPE even in large quantities, while the government is not strictly implementing social distance regulation. ”
Although Wuhan was the epicenter of the Karuna virus, it was feared that Pakistani students living in other parts of China were desperate to return, and many of them returned to Pakistan. Among them was Hina Fatima, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in food sciences at Beijing Technology and Business University. When Corona's outbreak spread to China, he moved to Pakistan and is now spending time in Lockdown in his home in Lahore.
"I think matters in China were much better than we thought," Hanna told DW. It is heard here that those who find the disease, they are surrounded by it. It is not thought that he is human. Then doctors do not have PPE. The ability to test is very low. Social distance is not the same as in China. Coming here, I think our decision was emotional because China still has facilities. "
Amjad Hussain, a student from Gilgit-Baltistan, who is studying at China University of Geosciences, Jovuhan, says he taught his friends at the time that they should not demand to go to Pakistan, "but They were getting so emotional that some were not ready to hear, but I hope they will be happy now that they have spent this crisis here because Pakistan lacks the facilities regarding Corona, while the Chinese government here has given every one of us. Well taken care of. "
However, some students think their demand was right in these situations. Shahid Jadon, a chemistry student at the Huozhong University of Science and Technology, said that it was not just a matter of emotions but the situation was very disturbing at the time. Defending his stance, he told DW, "Corona was only in China at that time and Wuhan was the center of it. So we must have fear and we thought that Pakistan was safe for us but now, including Pakistan. The virus has spread all over the world. We've spent more than seventeen days in Quarantina. Going to Pakistan we have to close again and then there is also a lack of facilities. So now we want to stay in Wuhan even though life has not come to normal here yet. "
