The rights groups have criticized the repatriation campaign, warning that mass expulsions risk endangering vulnerable people.
Pakistan has confirmed having repatriated more than 80,000 Afghan nationals since April 1, before an extended deadline of April 30 for the country’s largest migrant group in an initiative labeled as “forced deportation” by Afghanistan.
Talal Chaudhry, an advisor to the Ministry of Interior of Pakistan, told journalists in Islamabad on Friday that they would not be more extensions for the repatriation plan for illegal foreigners launched at the end of 2023 by more than three million Afghan.
“We have communicated clear instructions to all provinces, if someone gives a store, home or any child of space to an illegal foreigner, they will be responsible under the law,” he said.
Those who lacked valid documents or who had Afghan citizen cards initially had ordered them to leave before March 31. That period was extended later for a month.
On Tuesday, the International Migration Organization, an UN entity, said Pakistan has expelled almost 60,000 Afghans since the beginning of April.

More than 1.3 million Afghan who have registration cards from the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, have also said that they move outside the capital Islamabad and the neighboring city of Rawalpindi.
On Saturday, Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will visit Kabul, where he will head a delegation for high -level conversations with the government led by the Taliban.
“The conversations will cover the entire range of Pakistan’s Afghan relationship, focusing on ways and means to deepen cooperation in all areas of mutual interests, including security, trade, connectivity and ties of people with a touch of people,” said a situation of Pakistan.
‘We have no desire to leave’
The repression threatens to lift Afghan families who have legs in the country for decades.
Earlier this month, Akber Khan, owner of a restaurant in the city of Peshawar in the northwest of Pakistani, said Associated Press’s news agency: “I’ve been here almost. I got married here, who I don’t want to leave.”
At least a third of Pakistan Afghan wants to expel this year live in the northwest province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
“Afghans can never be complete repatriated, sessions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, since they return using illegal channels or exploit the hole in the system despite the fences on the border,” said Abdullah Khan, managing director of the Jazierae Institute for Jazorin.
‘Security threat’
Islamabad has often linked Afghan refugees with the growing security threats and criminal activity within their borders, accusations rejected by Kabul, which has described the campaign as forced deportation and motivated policy.
The authorities in Pakistan say that they have established temporary tenure centers in multiple cities to process and accommodate Afghan citizens before their return.
Most are transported to Torkham’s border crossing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the key route to eastern Afghanistan.
Human rights groups have criticized the impulse of repatriation, warning that mass expulsions are at risk of endangering vulnerable people, partly women and children, who may face insecurity or persecution when returning.
Despite these groups, Pakistani officials argue that repression is addressed only to those who remain in the country without legal authorization, insisting that policy is a matter of national security.
