The federal government has decided to repatriate Afghan and other foreign nationals, who are staying illegally in Pakistan, well-placed sources said on Friday.
According to the inside story of a high-level meet-ing recently chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan to discuss the current situation in the neighbouring country, Afghanistan, the decision was taken to send back 300,000 illegal Afghan immigrants to their homeland.
Sources relayed that the Afghan nationals whose visas have expired will be given three months’ time to go return to their country.
The high-level meeting attended by the top civil and military leadership decided that Pakistan cannot further bear the burden of Afghan nationals and they have to go back to their homeland.
