Over 40 Afghans arrested around Quetta PAF base
28
QUETTA: Police and other security forces here claimed to have arrested over 40 suspected Afghan nationals during a search operation in an area around the PAF’s Khalid Airbase.
Police said on Tuesday night that the Afghan nationals were living in the area illegally.
“They were handed over to the authorities concerned for investigation,” they said.
Take a look: Army captain among 29 killed in TTP-claimed attack on PAF camp in Peshawar
The action was part of a crackdown on militants and criminal elements following the terrorist attack on Pakistan Air Force’s Badaber camp in Peshawar in which 29 military personnel and civilians lost their lives.
On the night of Aug 14 last year, 12 terrorists attacked the PAF’s Samungli and Khalid airbases, but the army, police, Frontier Corps and PAF repulsed the attack.
All the attackers were killed.

Send back all those Afghanis who have no legal documents or whose visas have expired. If we allow someone to live in our country without proper documentation then we're creating problems for ourselves because they get involved in killing, terrorism and other activities.
It's time for them to go back home and leave us in peace.

Afghans, a thankless people. They still plot against a country which has provided them with shelter for over 30 years.

The picture in the story is worth thousand words, i dont know how and where it originated, the air force guy is wearing slippers, no head protection, no knee elbow guards and above all no amour vest. This is reflection of a mind set, we are not prepared to take them on, plain and simple. Wake up people the threat is real PLEASE.

To bring normality to Pakistan all illegal immigrant & refugees must be flush out from every corner of Pakistan with tough re-entry on any border. We loosing our own right and asset to these alien. Some of them are basically claiming they belong here with out any authorised documents. Over four decades of hospitality is more then enough.
No one is responsible for the condition in Afghanistan except them self. They using victimisation card for abusing them self.

If authorities don't take action on terrorism, we will pay even dearer price. Terrorists have no religion rather enemies of our country.

It is the policy of "Strategical Assets" and "Strategical Depth" which has destroyed homes and uprooted these Afghans. It is so easy to blame India or Afghanistan for the problems in Pakistan and turn the page, look deeper inside and you will find the source of your problems there.

First of all why the shelter is being provided to illegal immigrants? why the government is compromising on law and sovereignty.
