PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Sunday ordered to deport 929 non-Pashtun Afghan families whose members had been serving in the Afghan National Army.
| Fair enough -- from the Pakistani perspective they are fighting for the other side. |
The KP government sought details of non-Pashtun Afghan refugees from all over the province during its 66th cabinet session. The Provincial Home Ministry directed commissioners of all districts and police officials to take those non-Pashtun Afghan citizens who are working in the Afghan National Army into custody.
Three hundred and six head imams living in the province are also expected to be deported to Afghanistan.
According to details, 964 Pashtun Afghan citizens living in KP have purchased properties illegally, whereas 473 non-Pashtun Afghan relatives of several ministers and governors work illegally in the province. Most of them belong to northern Afghanistan and are presently living in posh areas of the province. |
