Afghan refugees are a huge burden on Pakistan. We have hosted them for decades but they still remain largely anti Pakistan to a point of ignorant hatred. It was Zia's 'ummah' decision to let them in droved when soviets were killing them like mosquitos. Pakistan's economy has been wrecked, AKs, drugs, kidnappings and crimes are a common thing for them and now in some areas they have been acquiring fake CNICs to buy or illegally occupy land and property.
Despite our best efforts to integrate them, they refuse to do so. Afghan refugees are a huge source of suicide attack manpower and for giving refuge to the insurgents who misuse Pashtunwali's laws about hospitality and protection.
Afghanistan is now stabilizing and we must demand the new govt to enter a gradual but complete repatriation of their refugees from our country. This however is unlikely because letting them live inside Pakistan illegally is the easiest solution for them.
Most Pakistani Pashtuns are against their precense as they are the worst hit community by Zia's 'Ummah migration' policy. Afghans refuse to sign an unwritten 'Misaq e Madina', remain anti Pakistan but pro India.
Integration policy has failed, Afghanistan won't take them back and international community won't do anything either. Since India is bent on containing Pakistan using the Chanakya doctrine, with sole objective of either destroying us or trying to establish hegemony.
If we can't find a solution to the Afghan refugee problem, we should use them as a foreign policy tool. We should relocate all Afghan refugees who came after 9/11 to the border areas of Pakistan, just a few kms away from India in well organized camps.
Since Bharat is their 'friend', and we are the sole evil preventing Afghanistan from becoming the land of milk and honey, it ought to be...we ought to put this 'friendship' to the test.
We know the undercurrent of the 'strategic alliance'.A Hindu India's only 'love affair'with its former Muslim master, Afghanistan is to destroy Pakistan, just like its only interest with Muktis was to break up Pakistan to create the vessel state of Bangladesh.
Just like China is testing the US , East Asian gang by harassing ships, moving rigs and claiming barren Islands with a sole objective of pushing the new alliance into a perpetual fatigue ; we should do the same by a mass displacement and relocation of post 9/11 Afghan refugees to Indian borders.
It it too fails to pacify Afghanistan, it at least will create a thorn in their 'love affair'of hating Pakistan when the Afghans will run to their 'strategic ally' across the border and BSF will do what it does to its Bengali 'allies'.
* Afghanistan will be pacified.
* Our own people will know that country takes their concerns seriously.
* Afg-Indian 'alliance' will be put to a perpetual test, strain and die a premature death.
* We still get to keep them in our lands and leverage them with Afghanistan.
* If India takes them in to save face, that may not be in our interest but isn't against our interest either. A few million more Muslims in Bharat can't be all that bad for us. They hate us any way so its works fine for us.
