Rents soar in Rawalpindi with influx of Afghan refugees

[Dalit]

This is another deal the Pakistani army made with the Americans. The Americans have always been vocal about Pakistan assisting Afghan refugees. These Americans are pure scum.

To be honest, just make afghanistan another province through a consensus at this point since majority of the afghans are right here. lol

 

[MultaniGuy]

This is good, because we will have more influence in Afghanistan and boost the economy of Pakistan.

Yes we should buy Afghanistan out, we have every right to claim it.

Government must exercise some control over such exploitation of migrants and refugees. The landlords must be offered some tax relaxations instead of letting them jack up the rental market.

LoL I don’t think Pakistan would want another headache.

We still haven’t agreed as a nation that we want a real democracy or a hybrid regime or an Islamic republic or a Secular state or crooks being PM or honest PM or khata hai to lagata bhi hai since the last 70 years.

The report said that the extraordinary influx of Afghan refugees has disrupted the tenancy system as most Afghan refugees were able to pay higher rents which the local low-income group people could not afford to.

So few weeks ago what my taxi driver told me is true. He said Afghans coming to rawalpindi, Islamabad have a lot of money. They are having houses here in bahria town and other posh areas. They have more money than the locals.
Most of this money came from the US ,because most of these Afghans were directly or indirectly connected with US military in Afghanistan and got paid in US dollars.
These are the types of people we are facing in pakistan who were not even loyal to their own country and now probably will bad mouth against the host country.

India has been the biggest hypocrite in this entire sordid affair. Refer back to my post about "optics".

As usual India doing topi drama - a skill the are experts at. As for blaming afghans, don't pontificate, you can have that right when you step up and accept Afghan refugees like you promised in 2021.

India didn't cause the Afghan situation, you guys did and you have to deal with the refugees. We played a role in Bangladesh and have taken in millions of refugees from there over the decades. Whoever is responsible has to bear the consequences. We didnt train millions of young men in extremism in the Soviet-Afghan conflict, Pakistan and US did. We didn't let US use our territory for war on terror to kick out the Taliban in 2001, you guys did. We were cheering for them, yes, but barely any military and monetary support involved. Finally, we didn't help Taliban kick out the legitimate Afghan govt in 2021, you did. We have had 0 military role in Afghanistan, why should we take a single refugee. US, Pakistan and Russia have caused the Afghan mess and they should take them in. You were well aware of their ideology and the economic menace the Taliban will cause by not letting women work, by forcing businessmen, engineers and doctors to flee, but still you helped them get into power anyway for strategic depth. You got strategic depth, so you also deserve the baggage that comes with it.

Oh yeah…guess the BLA were being funded out of thin air and the tens of Indian consulates just happened to be there for altruistic purposes. Hypocrites.. the entire lot of you.

As for the legitimate government.. they don’t fall like a domino and their leader doesn’t flee with cash…

Please keep your sanctimonious self fellatio crap to yourself.

BLA affects Pakistan, had no impact whatsoever on Afghans. BLA does not conduct any activities against Afghan civilians or forces, so again my statement stands, we have done nothing to destabalize Afghanistan.

 

[Edevelop]

Afghanistan is peaceful now we should kick every namak haram from our country

Agree. Just as Pakistanis have the right to kick illegal Afghans out of their country, Europeans have the right to kick illegal Pakistani migrants out of their countries.

Glad your embrace the sanctimonious hypocrisy by leaving your lizard’s tail then. Because that legitimate government you spent millions propping up fell like dominos because it was as corrupt as it was flawed.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Register the people , and ensure Taxes are filed and work for future transit of refugee back to Afghanistan

It was the lesser of 2 evils. A corrupt man with education is a 100 times better than an honest idiot, I say the same for India's case where a corrupt Congress is better than an uneducated but honest Modi. Afghan govt was very corrupt, but still using economists for financial advice, doctors for health advice, Taliban is using mullahs as finance ministers, education ministers, health ministers, that is devastating and far worse than corruption.

 

[Maula Jatt]

Afghanistan and Pakistan is basically one country as far as freedom of movement is concerned

Like it or not - it'll stay that way in the future just like it was in the past

If wot couldn't change it than nothing else will

When you visit Rawalpindi you will find more Afghans than the native population I've talked to a few when you ask them their origin they always say Mardan which is B.S.

Lol mardan is actually a decent mid tier city, doubt they'd need to migrate to such extent that that's all you see in your surrounding
