Pakistan to deport Afghan migrants with documents: Balochistan official
The Minister of Information for Balochistan has announced that Pakistan will expel not only “illegal” immigrants but also immigrants with legal documentation.
Jan Achakzai stated that this decision is a response to the use of Afghan soil by hostile elements for terrorist activities in Pakistan. However, the current administration of Afghanistan rejects these allegations.
In a press conference in Karachi, the interim Minister of Information for Balochistan stated that Pakistan intends to initiate a similar process of expelling immigrants with legal documents living in the country.
This Pakistani official also emphasized that the process of expelling “illegal” refugees will continue even after Pakistan’s upcoming elections in February next year.
Jan Achakzai said, “No one should make a mistake. This decision is made by an ‘independent government’ to repatriate all illegal immigrants. Therefore, any government that comes into power after the elections will continue this policy.”
He claimed that “terrorists” use Afghan territory to target Pakistan’s security forces. Therefore, Pakistan has decided to send back “illegal” immigrants to their country of origin.
The Minister of Information for Balochistan clarified that six “terrorists” killed in the city of Zhob in Balochistan last week were Afghan citizens.
This Pakistani official once again stressed that with the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, terrorist attacks in Pakistan have increased.
Achakzai noted that the Balochistan government blocked around one hundred thousand fake Pakistani national identity cards, with an additional twenty thousand blocked in Sindh.
The Minister of Information for Balochistan stated that 80,000 Afghan migrants have been expelled from the province, with plans to accelerate this process. Meanwhile, reports indicate that a UN High Commissioner for Refugees delegation postponed their trip to Khyber due to perceived threats prompted by a warning from Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior.
