New Delhi: Millions of Afghans fled to Iran and Pakistan in search of a better life due to the civil war in Afghanistan. However, these Afghans did not find a better life; instead, Muslim countries have forced them into a miserable existence. First, Iran expelled thousands of Afghan refugees, and now, Pakistan is also expelling millions of Afghans from the country in several batches. Following the Pak-Afghanistan violence, the Pakistani government has adopted a tough stance towards Afghan refugees. Pakistan has locked down 10 refugee camps and forcibly expelled more than 85,000 Afghans from the country. This action took place in the southwestern province of Balochistan. Pakistan's Geo News reported this news, citing sources. Geo News claims that 3,800 Afghans were arrested in Quetta city on October 21. It has also been claimed that the government is taking strict action against Afghans in Quetta. As part of this operation, 3,888 Afghans living illegally in the city have been arrested. The location of these individuals has not been disclosed. It is believed that all these Afghans have been expelled from the country. It is noteworthy that Pakistan recently carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan. Following this attack, the Taliban retaliated against the Pakistani army, capturing several military posts. Hundreds of people were killed on both sides in the ensuing violence. The impact of this violence is being felt among Afghan refugees in Pakistan. The government has announced that all Afghan refugees must leave Pakistan as soon as possible. As a result, Pakistan is forcibly expelling Afghans from its country.
