Afghan Charge d’ Affaires Sardar Ahmad Shakeeb on Thursday called on Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti and discussed issues related to repatriation of Afghan nationals from Pakistan to Afghanistan and other matters of mutual interest.
Interior Minister said that the immigrants illegally staying in Pakistan are returning to their countries. “We have issued instructions for respectable treatment with the people returning back to home,” Bugti said.
“No legal action is being taken against those holding Afghan citizen card,” interior minister said. “The government will not tolerate discourteous or impolite treatment to the immigrants at any cost,” he stressed.
He said a control centre and helpline have been established in the Ministry of Interior. Bugti invited Afghan embassy to appoint its representative for liaison over complaints, if any reported.
The Minister informed the Afghan envoy that the women and children will be exempted from biometric formality at crossing points to facilitate them.
