Sixteen Chinese nationals have been given Indian citizenship since 2007 and the applications of 10 are pending, the Home Ministry told parliament today.
"As per data available in the online citizenship module, 10 applications of Chinese nationals are pending for grant of citizenship. Further, 16 Chinese nationals have been granted Indian citizenship since 2007. Only nationality wise data is maintained. Community-wise data is not maintained," Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said in a written statement.
