Veteran Pakistani historian Dr. Mubarak Ali has said that there was no written agreement of people migrating from one place to another during the 1947 partition of the subcontinent, the impression on both sides was that the countries would be divided but the people would stay, where they were staying, but since there were riots in East and west Punjab that was why it was said that all the Muslims should migrate to East Punjab and all non-Muslims should go to West Punjab.
