Pakistan eliminates gate pass at Torkham crossing point
2021-10-02
[KhaamaPress] Pakistain’s ambassador to Kabul Mansoor Ahamd Khan said that Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
has ordered the elimination of gate pass at the Torkham border to facilitate the movement of Afghan people to Pakistain.

Mansoor Ahmed Khan has cited PM Imran Khan’s special assistant in establishment Shehzab Arbab saying as the cabinet made the decision after mass complaints about extortion at Torkham passing point.

"Federal cabinet took notice of complaints of illegal extortion of money from incoming Afghans on Torkham border." Says Arbab in his Twitter post.

The special assistants wrote the PM Khan has directed smooth crossing only through permission letters and valid visas.

The decision comes as Pakistain closed the Chaman crossing point in the south of Afghanistan on Thursday, September 30.

Local residents say that the crossing point was closed after a verbal conflict between border guards of Pakistain and Afghanistan.

Pak officials have commented on the Issue yet.
