QUETTA: As a crackdown on illegal foreigners continues in Pakistan, the government plans to send back registered migrants as well after deporting the undocumented settlers, Balochistan’s caretaker Minister for Information Jan Achakzai said on Thursday.
“So far, 80,000 immigrants from Balochistan have left Pakistan. After this, [we] will send back the registered refugees as well,” Achakzai said while addressing a press conference in Karachi.
The minister said that the foreigners living in Pakistan should have the authentic documents.
Hundreds of thousands of foreigners have got fake identification cards, he added.
“We have not taken the responsibility of the illegal residents. The crackdown on the illegal migrants will continue,” Achakzai said, while warning the government in Afghanistan against giving harsh statements. “Pakistan knows how to crush all kinds of terrorism.”
