PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) police prepared a 4,000-person list of Afghan refugees allegedly involved in serious crimes, Express News reported on Monday.
According to the list, at least a thousand of these refugees were involved in acts of terrorism while more than 3,000 were involved in acts of murder, attempted murder, robberies and other crimes.
It was reported that the list has been sent to various police stations in the province and a plan of action to arrest the suspects was being prepared.
The photographs of the Afghan refugees on the list are also being collected and the blacklisted refugees are banned from entering cities.
The Afghan government will reportedly be taken into confidence regarding this matter.

@roarwali: First of all Afghans are illegal in this country (bare a very few insignificant number legal). Show me one Afghan who has an NTN card? They pay hefty bribes to get a CNIC and then legalize themselves illegally. Due to the large density of Afghans in Karachi west, an Afghan was also elected nazim. Its under the religious party's umbrella they join politics.
@roarwali:
Any Afghan staying in Pakistan without valid travel document, refugee's card or even holding Pakistan IDs is committing a crime and be treated like a criminal for his illegal act . Yes there shouldn't be a generally weeping statement; but Afghanistan has stable government for years which has held a successful election without major incident except allegation of frauds, yet with huge participation by the Afghans. Therefore, all Afghan who are staying illegally in Pakistan must leave Pakistan or may be treated as criminal as was decided by an Afghan court of Nangahar province in case of a Pashtun of this Pakistan side.

@Saleem: Saleem sahb, not all of them are criminal or terrorist. If out of 5 million, 1 to 3 thousands are blacklisted, then why do we generalize they are criminal. I know many who live decently in our country
Crimes like Jihad?!
What I am loving these days is the news generally comes as 'KP police doing this/that' thankfully we are still not in the era of 'CM KP asked police to do this/that'
For all u know they are doing this because of circumstances . Give them education , jobs ... Some vocational skills .. They can be a great asset .
DEPORT ALL OF THEM.. how much more do we need to help them ? isnt security of Pakistanis more important than the furture of these thankless criminals ?
About time we send criminals packing home...
At last we have a police force who are relatively professional takes decision on merit, with no political influence whatsoever. The only hope to live in Pakistan now.
It is height of it that Pakistan gave them refuge and still they choose to act against it. They needs to be fingerprinted and sent back to Afghanistan and must be barred for life to enter into Pakistan again.
They should not be banned from entering cities. Rather they should be DEPORTED back to Afghanistan.
You went to Afghanistan and commited crime. Supported Taliban against people's will. Isn't it time for payback?
