Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Tuesday announced a November 1 deadline for illegal immigrants in the country to leave Pakistan, otherwise, all law enforcement agencies would deport them.<\/p>\n
The interior minister was addressing a press conference in Islamabad and briefing the media on the details of the decisions taken during a meeting of the National Apex Committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing that was decided was that the welfare and security of a Pakistani are most important for us over any country or its policy. The first decision taken is about our illegal immigrants who are living in Pakistan through illegal means.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have given them a deadline of Nov 1 to willingly return to their countries and if they don\u2019t, all law enforcement agencies of the state and provinces will deport them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Separately, interim Information Minister Murtaza Solangi said illegal immigrants now had 28 days to leave Pakistan.<\/p>\n
Bugti said the same deadline would apply for entry into Pakistan without a passport or visa, adding that people would not be able to enter the country without those documents after Nov 1.<\/p>\n
He said entry without the aforementioned documents was not allowed in any other country of the world.<\/p>\n
The interior minister added that e-tazkiras (electronic Afghan identity cards) would be accepted from October 10-31 and afterwards the abovementioned passport and visa policy would apply.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he said Nov 1 onwards an operation would kick off, by a task force already created in the interior ministry, that would target illegal properties and businesses owned by illegal immigrants or that were being run in collaboration with Pakistan.<\/p>\n
