Pakistan today claimed to have arrested six Afghan spies allegedly involved in bombings and target killings in its troubled Balochistan province and threatened to push all Afghan refugees out of the country.
"Six Afghan spies who were staying in refugee camps have been arrested from the Pishin area of the province," Balochistan Home Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti told reporters.
A confessional video of the alleged spies were also shared with media, showing the arrested men saying that they work for Afghan National Directorate of Security for money.
Lashing out at Afghan intelligence agency for deceiving Pakistan, Bugti claimed that the Afghans were working with the Indian agencies to destabilise Pakistan.
He accused the Afghan agency of targeting refugees in Pakistan to recruit spies.
The Home minister threatened to push all Afghan refugees out of the province, saying that time had come that more than 2.5 million Afghan refugees should be forced to go back.
"Enough is enough. We have tolerated them for a long time now and if the international community doesn't do something to send them home then they will be pushed out of Pakistan by the Baluch people themselves," Bugti said.
Pakistan often accuses Afghanistan of creating instability in Balochistan.
The claim of arrest of spies came at the heels of killing of Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Mansour in Balochistan.
