ISLAMABAD: Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) Chairman Mahmood Khan Achakzai has said that Afghan refugees are allowed to live in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) without any fear and hesitation and no one can force them out.
“The province belongs to Afghans and no one will be allowed to harass the migrants,” the PkMAP chief told an Afghan newspaper.
“If Afghans are harassed in other parts of Pakistan, they should come to KP, where no on will ask about migrant cards as the province belongs to them,” he added.
He warned that “Kabul and Islamabad should exercise caution to resolve Torkham conflict”. “Otherwise, they should leave the issue to the US and China, and they would resolve it within two weeks.”
The US had called on two nations to peacefully resolve their tension on border. Pakistan officials maintain that the unprovoked firing from Afghan forces is disrupting border management efforts by Pakistan Army. “Torkham border issue and forceful repatriation of Afghan refugees are two separate issues. It not only raised concerns among Afghan officials in Afghanistan, but also made the Pashtun leaders here concerned,” he added.
