Like America, Pakistan has also taken a tough stand on illegal refugees. Pakistan has given an ultimatum to illegal refugees and Afghan citizen card holders to leave the country by March 31. The Pakistani Home Ministry on Friday asked all illegal foreigners and Afghan citizen card holders to leave the country before March 31. Not only this, the ministry warned that if such people do not leave the country by March 31, they will be deported from April 1.

Pakistan is constantly blaming Afghan citizens for the terrorist attacks and crimes taking place within its border. However, Afghanistan has rejected these allegations. The Home Ministry of Pakistan issued a statement saying, Pakistan has been a generous host and continues to fulfill its commitments and obligations as a responsible country. It is reiterated that individuals living in Pakistan must complete all legal formalities.

Pakistan has been running a campaign against Afghans since 2023

Pakistan launched a campaign to expel foreign nationals in 2023, most of whom were Afghans. However, later it was said by Pakistan that first those foreigners would be expelled who do not have any legal documents.

According to UN data, more than 8 lakh Afghans in Pakistan have Afghan citizen cards. About 1.3 million people are formally registered with the Government of Pakistan and have a separate residence certificate. However, the Pakistani government statement did not say what effect this would have on citizens holding residence certificates?

The UN says that since 2023, more than 8 lakh Afghans have returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and overall Pakistan has given shelter to about 28 million Afghan refugees. These people have come to Pakistan during the conflicts going on in Afghanistan for the last 40 years.
