Imran Khan Announces to give Pak Citizenship to Afghan Refugees

[El Sidd]

Nobody is supporting the Prime Minister.

Ok.

I am.

I slept over it. I think its Time

 

[Fawadqasim1]

Go search it brain dead.

Learn some respect *** hole don't talk to me like that again

Nobody is supporting the Prime Minister.

Ok.

I am.

I slept over it. I think its Time

Really sir

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

I'm waiting for more details but seem like if Sindh and Balochistan doesn't speak up then may as well give every afghani citizenship. RIP Pakistan

I am afraid this is going to happen. He just announce this so casually without realizing the fact that how controversial issue this is and can be. He came to Karachi and did he announced this without any consultation with other federal ministers ? Now not a single Afghani will move back to their homeland after this development.

 

[insight-out]

@Kabira you keep saying that no country in the world gives citizenship to refugees. That is simply not true. Many countries have programs that allow refugees to get citizenship. There is a vetting process, and it can take some time. But it is possible to get citizenship after arriving as a refugee. Please do your research instead of pointlessly arguing with everyone.

 

[Dr. Abdul Basit]

These refugees by definition are not refugees 50% of them are both occupying Afghanistan and Pakistan at the same time .. Which is why they were hurt real bad after torkham border regularisation as they were travelling routinely and now they have to get a passport and visa.
Doing such an intervention needs to be thought out carefully as
Most of these are not refugees having homes and businesses on both sides
They should be forced to give up their Afghan Nationality....will they?
Refugee villages are occupying lands owned by locals... Will they give up the land to their owners? (there is no remote chance)

I think its a huge blunder but nothing else

 

[El Sidd]

Really sir

Yes. Its Time.

It will eventually be done. Why not now? If the Prime Minister is serious about it. A legislation thorough and robust should be done.

No doubt it would have been Better after rectifying the NAdRA corruption or Introduction of low Budget housing or employment reforms and educational reforms and after consultation with provinces to share the load.

But we have to Start somewhere.

Now this definition is the best.. Afghans aren't refugees by definition now.. They live in Pakistan when they want, and move to Afghanistan for business purposes when they want.. They are taking full benefits of two countries at the same time.. Bengalis and Burmese are a different story.. They love Pakistan as they don't have any other place to settle.

@Arsalan @Indus Pakistan @war&peace will you guys still wait for 6 months and then criticize him? Legalize Afghanis really? Whats worst next legalize TTP??

IAM SORRY TO EVERY PMLN SUPPORTER AND PAKISTANIS I VOTED FOR THIS TALIBAN KHAN. IAM ASHAMED.

Its NOT happening.
You need to compile data, to have them on sheets and lists to keep track and load them back. Use some common sense mate. How else you think we should send them back? Wait and try to understand what is happening rather than criticizing everything just for the sake of it.

@Kabira thousands of refugee are getting citizenship each year in Germany. Many of them are from Pakistan, specially from Punjab.

 

[Maarkhoor]

People who are born in Pakistan and have never ever seen their country shud be given nationality like they are in pretty much every corner of the world....

I have met many second generation Afghan refugees who are already carrying false Pakistani I.Ds, they hate Pakistan from the core of their hearts.......

I would like to f@ck who even think about to legalize these scums.....

 

[Imad.Khan]

This doesn't happen anywhere else. Name one country which give citizenship to any refugees let alone ones from enemy state.

Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, Germany etc etc.

Post source of your claim, Germany doesn't give citizenship. They are deporting afghanis as we write.

 

[Mr ambassador]

Talking about Ummah then why dont we give asylum to rohingya and Syrian Muslims ?

Pakistan is not Germany or europe . We have 2curor jobless youth dying in poverty.

Pakistan keep afghans as refugees not as citizens !

if any one cares more about afghan then merge afghanistan with Pakistan as 5th province.

 

[Imad.Khan]

At least 40% of Afghanis are non pushtoons farsiwan as they are called

Actually 55% of Afghans are non Pukhtoons and Farsiwans are Hazaras and Tajiks. There are also Turkman and Uzbeks that speak Turkic.

A Pakistani child born in the US, UK or any country in the west gets that countries nationality.
The same rule is being applied here.

Is it better to leave them nation less and create more hatred or better to give them a nationality and an identity?

Exactly what i think.
