Pakistan “halts” the return of undocumented immigrants

The UNHCR High Commissioner Filippo Grandi’s recent visit to Pakistan is said to have prompted the decision.

Grandi conducted discussions with high-ranking officials, including Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Afghan refugees in Peshawar and Haripur, while here.

With reference to humanitarian considerations, the head of UNHCR asked the Pakistani government to halt the return of undocumented immigrants.

Until June 22, 620,981 Afghan nationals who were in the country illegally resumed their return home as a result of this decision.

Thirteen,815 Afghans, comprising five,014 men, four,087 women, and four,714 children, returned home between the eleventh and the twenty-first of September.

This is a good time to point out that on October 3, 2023, the National Action Plan’s (NAP) upper committee met under the chair of Anwaarul Haq Kakar, the country’s caretaker prime minister at the time. The committee gave all foreign nationals living in the country illegally until October 31 to leave voluntarily or risk deportation.

Through the frontiers of Torkham and Chaman, more than 500,000 illegal Afghans have returned home since the deadline expired.

Other nations, such as the US and the UK, as well as Afghanistan, also criticised Pakistan, but the country denied all of the accusations and insisted that the only people being deported were illegal Afghan residents in order to reduce the country’s rising crime rate.

The suicide attack at Darul Uloom Haqqania has been widely denounced by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They claimed that when Security Forces take action against the Khawarij faction, they not only attack mosques and seminaries but also use them as safe havens.
The public has demanded that the state step up its efforts to combat the Khawarij, highlighting the fact that their violence still poses a serious threat to the general public, especially academics. They have stated their steadfast support for Security Forces in their fight against this danger.
They claim that the Khawarij assault schools, seminaries, and mosques in an effort to deny Pakistan’s youth an education and take advantage of women and children as human shields. While explosions in public places have killed innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, they have also desecrated the sanctity of mosques and turned them into terrorist hotspots.
They have called on the government to punish those accountable for this catastrophe severely and to put in place strong safeguards against future occurrences of this kind.
