Explanation

The Nehru-Liaquat Pact, also known as the Delhi Pact, was signed on April 8, 1950, by Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan [c1][t3]. The primary objective of this bilateral agreement was to provide a framework for the protection of the rights of religious minorities in both nations following the communal violence and mass displacement triggered by the Partition of India [t3][t5]. The pact aimed to restore confidence among minorities, ensuring they enjoyed equal citizenship rights regardless of religion and had recourse to minority commissions to address grievances [c1][t5][t6]. While it also addressed the treatment of refugees and their property to prevent further mass exodus, its core focus was the 'bill of rights' for minorities to ensure their security and well-being within their respective countries [t3][t6].
