The Pakistain government has noted a significant influx of nearly one million Afghan refugees over the past two years, adding to the millions who have already sought refuge in the neighbouring country for an extended period.
Media reports indicate that the decision to expel illegal Afghan refugees has been made in the context of a broader crackdown on various illegal activities. This includes combating terrorism, currency smuggling, and sugar and fertiliser illegal trade.
According to sources, the federal cabinet, acting through the Interior Ministry, has approved a plan for the deportation of over 1.1 million Afghan refugees.
The caretaker cabinet’s recent decision is a response to the arrival of approximately 600,000 Afghan refugees in Pakistain following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Among them, roughly 400,000 are residing in the country without legal status.
