 Kutty described his "love for geography" and desire to visit the cultural heritage of Lahore as the reason for his immigration to Pakistan and that it had no religious motivation as it did for millions of other Muslims who left India after the partition.Passports had not been introduced by then and they walked to Khokhrapar from Munabao like many Muhajirs.The currency they exchanged at Khokhrapar had "Government of Pakistan" superimposed on the old notes with "Government of India" printed on them.
