After initial refusal, Pakistan allows entry to over 100 deported by Saudi Arabia
[DAWN] Pakistain on Tuesday refused entry to 120 Pak citizens deported by Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... for not having the requisite entry documents but later allowed entry to the deportees on orders of the interior ministry, airport sources said. A flight from Jeddah carried the deportees to Lahore airport on Tuesday, however, immigration officials refused them entry as the deportees did not have the required documents needed for entry. It was not clear why Saudi authorities deported the Pak citizens, at least 15 of whom were women. Sources said immigration authorities wanted to send the deportees back to Jeddah after refusing to process their entry into Pakistain while Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials wanted to detain the deportees, as is the standard procedure. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the deportees were later allowed entry into the country by order of the interior ministry. FIA is now expected to take the deportees into custody. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-30 |
