Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior has announced that undocumented Afghan nationals must leave the country by July 10. After this deadline, a nationwide operation will begin to arrest and pursue individuals without legal documents. According to this directive, anyone identified residing in Pakistan without valid documentation after the deadline will face detention.<\/p>\n
The ministry has instructed provincial governments, police commanders, and the Islamabad administration to implement this decision seriously and immediately. It has also emphasized that from July 11 onwards, provincial authorities are required to send daily reports to the Ministry of Interior detailing the number of identified Afghans, the actions taken, and their legal or detention status.<\/p>\n
Pakistani officials have described this process as a top security priority and stressed its immediate enforcement across the country. This announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Islamabad and Kabul in recent months.<\/p>\n
Pakistani authorities have repeatedly claimed that some armed groups use Afghan territory to launch attacks inside Pakistan\u2014an allegation denied by the Taliban administration. In the latest case, Pakistan stated that an individual arrested after an attack on a Rangers base claims to have entered the country from Afghanistan with three others.<\/p>\n
In a video released by Pakistani officials, this individual mentions possible links to the Jamaat-ur-Ahrar group and receiving support from people inside Afghanistan. These claims have not been independently verified so far, and the Taliban administration has not responded to the latest reports.<\/p>\n
The new deadline announcement comes as thousands of Afghan families have lived in Pakistan for years, many of whom face fears of arrest and forced deportation. This situation has also raised serious humanitarian concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
