Pakistan’s move: Kabul opposes expulsion of refugees
Pakistan wants to expel all Afghan refugees, including those having legal document to live there.

Pakistan has every right to expel these so called refugees,Afghans as refugees are playing on both sides of the fence,they take money from UNHCR in Pakistan and go back to their country,get money from Afghan govt,come back to Pakistan and take money from the UNHCR again,they stayed in Pakistan for more then thirty years,they flee to Pakistan cause of false war propaganda against former Soviets,Pakistani ISI and other foreign powers used these refugees for their interests and there was no valid reason for them to leave their country,they ve been a burden on Pakistan for a very long time,now they have stable Govt in their own country,so they must go back,it is the responsibility of Afghan Govt to take care of their citizens,Afghanistan received billions of dollars after the fall of cruel Taliban and if people in power stop stealing money and transferring aid money to their foreign bank accounts,Afghanistan will become a better place to live,but its not Pakistan's headache anymore to pamper these refugees anymore.
We want our Afghan brother sisters to be our guests as long as required BUT we expect them to realise that we already have too much burden on our resources due to excessive population. Some of the refugee camps have , unfortunately, been used as breeding grounds for anti Pakistan activities. I think those minority of Afghan official who keep spreading negative propaganda about Pakistan , should take refugees back or ask their friend India to take them. Pakistan is abused and taken advantage for free. The same example is with NATO supplies, .they only realised how much it costs , once we stopped them. I think it's about time Pakistan speaks the same language as its ill wishers speak . No more NICE GUY.ets get down to business .
If pakistan expel afghan refugees from pakistan, it wil create negative impact on Pakistan economy as well. Becuase those Afghans who ære spending money in pakistan i they will gone to Afg. Following point ære 1. Around half million Afghans are living in Europe, US, canada. Those Afghans which have family in Pakistan. So they send money to their families, in return the economy of Pakistan is boosting. 2. those Afghans enterprenuers which are spending money on different business are they not part of economy 3. Majority private hospitals of peshawar is using, ånd getting services from Afghans 4. Education sector, property, rent these all are consuming by Afghans. 5. Pakistan Govt take dollars on each Afghan from UNHCR. Millions dollars.
