Re: Thousands of Pakistani NICs issued to Afghan Refugees in Balochistan
Not possible. Many Pakistani people have claimed to be Afghans to claim political asylum in the UK. Western countries were more likely to give asylum to Afghans than Pakistanis.
Re: Thousands of Pakistani NICs issued to Afghan Refugees in Balochistan
I would agree that any Afghan who had illegally obtained Pakistani identification should be stripped and those without a right to stay be deported. Or maybe there could even be a dual citizenship just like one can have British and Pakistani passports.
Most of these problems you associate with Afghan refugees coming to Pakistan ate debatable. The Kalashnikov culture, sectarianism, religious fundamentalism are Pakistan’s own created problems. The establishment in Pakistan supported right wing religious ideology based groups to counter the Soviets and also Pashtun nationalists. I visited Baluchistan and learnt how the Baluchi areas lack religious sectarianism.
I am not sure if I can even blame the Afghans for smuggling and drug import because Pakistan has officials on the border which let most of this through after a small bribe. Even the environmental damage could have been lessened if the state actually cared.
On the flip side I am sure there have been lots of positive impacts on the economy which go unrecognised.
