Abandoned’ Sharbat Gula threatens to return to Pakistan

.
First she is not welcome in Pakistan unless she have proper visa and travel documents , Second where the hell billions of $$$$$ going which Mayor of Kabul getting from US and drugs ????? Cant Mayor of Kabul aka Ghani spend few 1000s on this lady? I still remember the welcome he gave to her!!!!!!
Shows what a bloody fraud the man is, he through his ethnic nationalism is trying to tear his already torn apart nation even more, she can apply for asylum the legal way.Kudos bro.
 
.
Gula, 47, was arrested in October 2016 in Peshawar by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for living in Pakistan on forged identity papers.
I'm not sure whether we should take her back in.
 
.
Welcome home. she should be issued visa and let her live in Pakistan. Afghanistan with their psycho internet warriors is not a place for honorary Pakistanis like Sharbat Gula.
If she applies for asylum and some tycoon is willing to support her, then on humanitarian grounds her visa should be accepted.Kudos
 
.
Deny her any visa, and shoot her on sight if she is seen in Pakistan. She committed crime in Pakistan (getting a Pakistani ID card), and then despite given shelter for many years, she goes and bad mouths us.

Abandoned’ Sharbat Gula threatens to return to Pakistan
* Brother of ‘Mona Lisa of Afghan war’ says residential flat given by President Ghani was rented, whose rent has also not been paid for many months

ISLAMABAD: Sharbat Gula – the green-eyed Afghan woman, who had received world fame due to her 1985 photo on a National Geography magazine cover, feels the country’s leadership has not honoured commitments with her and that she could return to Pakistan, where she had spent years as refugee.

As her arrest was unfortunately politicized in view of the nature of Pak-Afghan relationship, President Ghani had handed over a key of a residential flat to Gula, also described as the ‘Afghan Mona Lisa’, when she returned to Afghanistan in November. It was, however, later confirmed that the flat was rented for her. Now her brother complains that rent of the flat has not been paid for four months and the owner is asking for the rent.

“This house has been rented for a year. The property dealer and the house owner knock at our door daily and ask for the unpaid rent. The rent for the last four months remained unpaid,” Niamat Gul, a brother of Sharbat Gula told Pajhwok news agency on Tuesday.

He; however, said the government had paid the rent of first six months of Gula’s house and unpaid of the past four months.

Gula, 47, was arrested in October 2016 in Peshawar by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for living in Pakistan on forged identity papers.

Her arrest had widely been condemned in Pakistan and Afghanistan. A special anti-corruption and immigration court had sentenced her to 15 days imprisonment with a fine of Rs110,000. She had returned to Afghanistan after her release.

Afghan media and rights activists say that President Ghani has not yet fulfilled his promise to give her a house and that the gov’t has failed to pay rent of her house.

“They (govt) cannot accommodate only one Sharbat Gula, who had showed loyalty to her homeland. She neither preferred the West nor the East but own country and people,” Najm Shinwari, an Afghan journalist said on his Facebook amid a debate on the social media.

“The president had promised to give her a house. The president also promised to meet her expenses. But there is nothing today and Sharbat Gula is complaining,” he said.

It was in fact the social media which highlighted the problems of Gula, who was almost forgotten by the government officials. Criticism in the social media forced a presidential palace official to issue a statement that President Ghani has issued instructions to fulfill all his promises.

As criticism at the president started a government official also used his official Facebook to come heavily on own government.

Communication and Information Ministry spokesman Najeeb Nangyal said the government has not implemented a single commitment with Gula in one year. He said Gula’s children were removed from schools few times because they could not pay monthly fee.

An Afghan website Nunn.Asia reported that Gula may go back to Pakistan because of her mistreatment by the government.

A well-known Afghan analyst Dr Faiz Mohammad Zaland also said that Gula has threatened to cross the border to Pakistan if the gov’t did not honour promises with her.

As some Afghan officials tried to politicize Gula’s arrest in Pakistan, PTI gov’t in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa had announced she will not be deported if she decides to live in Pakistan. A Pakistani property tycoon had reportedly offered Gula a house of her choice if she wants to live in Pakistan.

She migrated to Pakistan with her family during civil war in Afghanistan in 1984 and settled in Nasir Bagh refugees’ camp in the outskirts of Peshawar. In a series of interviews she had praised the people of Pakistan for hospitality to Afghans but she was disappointed at her arrest.

In an interview with the AFP news agency in November last year, Gula had stated she was “heartbroken” at the prospect of returning.

“Afghanistan is only my birthplace, but Pakistan was my homeland and I always considered it as my own country,” she was quoted as saying.

“I had decided to live and die in Pakistan but they did the worst thing with me. It’s not my fault that I born there [in Afghanistan]. I am dejected. I have no other option but to leave,” Gula had stated, according to AFP.

Bigger guts would be dumping returning refugees to their own country (or India they are bhais)

All of them, even their kids born in Pakistan.

I know your being sarcastic but that would result in an immense PR nightmare.
Seriously, refugees and the reasons for them abandoning their countries is a HOT topic. Why can't we take advantage and get some much needed PR? With Trump being a unpopular in the media the situation for this couldn't have been any better.

Noone is taking in refugees. Not millions of them. Even Angela Merkel isn't stupid enough to accept ~3% of Germany's population being Syrian. Or letting them live for 30 years then have some "Syrian mona lisa" bad mouth her country.

Making it illegal for Afghans to be in Pakistan = no Taliban.

Now you are just being a racist and discriminatory. Recent events have in fact shown that ethnicity/social class in Pakistan isn't an indicator for potential terrorists.

Look at the opinion of media outlets when they heard that the "Afghan girl" was leaving Pakistan, it was largely negative because of how we botched it. With Trump's recent BS against Pakistan its high time that we show who really is causing the problems and whose trying to solve them. Showing to the world Pakistan's efforts in helping the refugees could really make a dent against the anti Pakistan rhetoric that has been going on.

Afghan refugees have been in Pakistan since 80s. Iran kicked them out in the 90s.

How is Pakistan's perception in the international community? If EU doesn't want to take in millions of Syrians because of the policies of involvement in the Syrian Conflict by the EU members themselves whats Pakistan's stake? Have you forgotten the dumba$$ roman member on this forum's bit<hing constantly?

What has Pakistan's Foreign Ministry accomplished in representing Pakistan? Did the people in the ministry now become angels? Are they giving speeches on CNN or Fox about how much Pakistan has done with, what, $70Billion in aid compared to $1Trillion to Afghanistan?

~5.5 Million Afghan refugees have returned by 2016. ~>2 million remain. A gentle push toward the border is enough. We aren't talking about waking them in handcuffs.
