CHAGAI: Iran on Wednesday handed over 118 Pakistani nationals, including 11 women and 32 children, to the Levies Force officials in Taftan, Chagai district.
Officials said these nationals were living in Iran without valid travel documents and arrested in different parts of the country by Iranian authorities.
All of them were screened and shifted to a quarantine centre in Taftan, near the Pak-Iran border, soon after their arrival in Pakistan, added the officials.
Meanwhile, 21 Pakistani nationals returned from Iran as the immigration clearance process was restored temporarily for them at Taftan in Pakistan and Mirjaveh in Iran to aid them in leaving the country.
These 21 Pakistanis from Iran were mainly businessmen and students and who were also quarantined after screening for the new coronavirus by the health teams deputed in Taftan town, said FIA officials.

They don't do this to Indians. Iran needs to be boycotted by Pakistan. They act like we owe them a great debt and they are our masters. They bow to the Indian government requests of keeping their citizens in quarantine whilst evicting ours with force. Iran and Afghanistan should be treated by the same token, they need to be shown their place with Pakistan.

What better do they get in sanction hit Iran which is not available in Pakistan? Deported citizens from all countries should be properly screened and compulsorily quarantined for 14 days before allowing them inside.

@Truth Seeker, I agree with you. It appears that ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN is giving special treatment to India for reasons known to Iran only. Iran should be ashamed of deporting Pakistani citizens even after being they belong to the same UMMA. Pakistan must protest strongly.

@Justice, 'How come Iran sends these brothers and sisters of Pakistan back home?'
Because, Iran has worse situation and these people will be safer in Pakistan. Brother countries look out for each other. They overstated due to lockdown in Iran.

There is large numbers of people from neighbouring countries living in the cities of Pakistan for decades...When citizens of Pakistan are under economic and pandemic pressures,It is better to send those people belonging to neighbouring countries to their home-countries.Concentrate on the welfare and well being of citizens of Pakistan fully...

Iran has never been a friend of Pakistan rather India is close ally. Pakistan must ban Iran and let her on mercy of US and Saudia.

@Truth Seeker, don't need to compare India to Pakistan every time
Indians took a jet to Iran equipped for testing, tested the group of Indian citizens, cleared them for flight and brought them back home after gifting the jet lab to Iran
this is a powerful country who takes care of its citizens
don't compare- you are nowhere in the race
