We're gonna get even with these harami Afghani sooner or later. They are racist ethnic chauvinists and hateful and that is just totally unacceptable behavior.

Pakistan being the nice guy here is avoiding killing innocent people and women n children.

We can seriously fukk them up, but our hands are tied because of humanity.

Pakistan has expelled over 80,000 Afghan nationals since the end of March, a senior official said on Friday, as part of a repatriation drive ahead of the April 30 deadline.

Afghan nationals who have no legal documents to stay or those holding Afghan Citizen Cards had been warned by Islamabad to return home or face deportation by March 31, a deadline which was then extended to April 30.

The April 30 deadline is final, Talal Chaudhry, an interior ministry adviser told a press conference in Islamabad, underlining that only those Afghans who hold valid visas to be in Pakistan would be allowed to stay.

The repatriation drive is part of a campaign called the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan launched in late 2023.

Pakistan has in the past blamed militant attacks and crimes on Afghan citizens, who form the largest migrant group in the country. Afghanistan has rejected the accusations, and has termed the repatriation as forced deportation.

Chaudhry was speaking just a day before Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is scheduled to lead a high-powered delegation for talks in Kabul.

"The talks will cover the entire gamut of the Pakistan-Afghan relationship, focusing on ways and means to deepen cooperation in all areas of mutual interests, including security, trade, connectivity, and people-to-people ties," a foreign office statement said.

Pakistani authorities say they have set up temporary centres in various cities to house the Afghan nationals before transporting them to the Torkham border crossing in northwest Pakistan.​

The Taliban's acting foreign minister on Saturday expressed "concern and sadness" during a rare meeting with Pakistan's foreign minister over the deportation of tens of thousands of Afghans, according to a statement.

Pakistan has expelled more than 80,000 Afghan nationals since the end of March, a senior official said on Friday, as part of a renewed surge in a repatriation drive that began in 2023.

But Saturday's meeting marked a possible thaw in relations for the neighbouring countries, whose forces have also clashed violently in recent months. Islamabad says Islamist militants who have carried out attacks in Pakistan have safe havens in Afghanistan, a charge Kabul denies.

Pakistani foreign minister Ishaq Dar travelled to Kabul for the one-day visit to discuss security and commerce, the first such visit by Pakistan since 2022.

The Taliban administration's acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said in a statement he "expressed deep concern and sadness over the situation of Afghan migrants in Pakistan and their forced deportation."

"He strongly urged Pakistani officials to prevent the violation of the rights of Afghans residing in or arriving in Pakistan," the statement said, adding that they also discussed a boost to bilateral trade and ensuring returning Afghans could take the proceeds of their property in Pakistan with them.

Pakistan's foreign office said in a statement that Dar: "emphasised the paramount importance of addressing all pertinent issues, particularly those related to security and border management, in order to fully realise the potential for regional trade and connectivity."

Tensions between the nations have run high, with Pakistan carrying out airstrikes on Afghan territory last year and a key border crossing between the two countries being closed for almost a month in February amid clashes between forces from both sides.​
