Afghanistan Embassy in Islamabad Denies Involvement of Migrants in Political or Criminal Activities

KABUL (BNA): The Embassy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in Islamabad has emphasized that Afghan migrants in Pakistan have never participated in any political activities or criminal events.

In a statement, the embassy expressed concerns over the repeated mentions of Afghan nationals in recent protests in Islamabad by Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior and other officials.

The statement also noted the growing restrictions, which have caused anxiety among Afghan migrants, fearing that they may face wrongful harassment by Pakistani authorities under these circumstances.

The embassy reiterated that Afghan migrants have always lived peacefully in Pakistan, contributing positively to the country’s economy. They have never engaged in political activism or public protests.

The statement also called for the Pakistani government to prevent the creation of an environment of distrust that could lead to unjust treatment and forced displacement of Afghan migrants. Such actions, the embassy warned, would not only harm Afghan citizens but could also further strain relations between the two neighboring countries.
