Recently, Pakistan has grappled with myriad of challenges arising from the presence of illegal immigrants within its borders. The issues range from security concerns to economic burdens and conflicts, prompting the Pakistani state to reassess its policies. In response to these challenges, Pakistan has opted to deport illegal immigrants, accentuating the significance of all individuals residing with in the country adhering to laws of the land. Pakistan's approach towards illegal immigrants is being manifested by several circles as inappropriate and against the established human rights standards. European and other Western countries have also been contending with the influx of emigrants and refugees for years. However, these countries prioritize due process, ensuring that individuals have the opportunity to present their cases for asylum or other legal remedies. The practice of not allowing illegal immigrants to stay in a country is a global norm that Pakistan has chosen to adhere to. This approach aligns with international standards and exemplifies the commitment to maintaining the rule of law within its borders. The public response to the deportation of illegal immigrants indicates that the people of Pakistan, along with the government, stand united on this issue. Contrary to the expectations, the deportation of illegal immigrants has not sparked widespread resentment among the Pakistani population, especially Pashtuns. The public and government are on the same page, recognizing the necessity of implementing stringent measures to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration. The collective support for the deportation emphasizes the unity between the state and its citizens for a significant period of time, Pakistan upheld leniency in imposing strict laws and regulations against immigrants. This leniency led to various problems, including security threats, economic strains, and conflicts arising from the lack of adherence to laws and order. Recognizing the need for change, the Pakistani state has initiated a policy to deport all illegal immigrants, encompassing individuals from diverse backgrounds, such as Chinese, Iranian, and the largest population from Afghanistan. While the policy has been misconstrued as a targeted expulsion of undocumented Afghans, it is essential to dispel this notion. No country, including Pakistan, permits illegal immigrants to reside within its borders unchecked. The Pakistani state's decision to enforce its laws is not discriminatory; instead, it is a commitment to impose legal protocols uniformly to all immigrants, regardless of their nationality. safeguarding national interests. Pakistan's decision to deport about two million undocumented immigrants, with a substantial number having fled after the Taliban's takeover in August 2021, has drawn criticism from various quarters. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, represented by spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani, expressed deep concern about the potential human rights violations awaiting these individuals upon their return to Afghanistan. The risks include arbitrary arrest and detention, torture, and inhuman treatment. Amnesty International, echoing these concerns, highlighted that more than 1.4 million undocumented Afghan refugees are at imminent risk of deportation from Pakistan, terming it a violation of their human rights. This raises serious questions about the safety, welfare, and access to basic services for those repatriated. Meanwhile, Malala Yousfzai, Pakistani activist for female education and Nobel Peace laureate, said that undocumented refugees deserve support, dignity, and safety, not further obstacles and harassment. It is crucial to distinguish the deportation of illegal immigrants from the hosting of refugees by Pakistan for several decades. The state has provided extensive services, allowing millions of Afghani refugees to live normal lives alongside Pakistani citizens. These refugees are not restricted to camps and still enjoys full freedom of movement nationwide. Pakistan's hospitality towards Afghan refugees demonstrates a nuanced approach, differentiating between those seeking refuge and those residing illegally. As Pakistan stands firm on its decision to deport illegal immigrants, particularly Afghan refugees, the delicate balance between national interests and human rights remains at the forefront of the debate. The international community's concerns, expressed by organizations like the UN and Amnesty International, alongside voices like Malala Yousfzai's, underscore the need for thoughtful and humane considerations in dealing with the complex issue of mass deportation. The coming weeks will likely reveal this policy's impacts on the affected individuals and Pakistan's standing in the global community. In a significant policy shift, Pakistan has issued a directive requiring all undocumented immigrants, encompassing a substantial 1.7 million Afghans, Iranian, Chinese, and other undocumented individuals to vacate the country by 1st November. After facing huge issues including economic, security issues, and other Territories concerns, the government of Pakistan has underscored its commitment to conduct mass deportations for individuals who fail to comply with the imposed deadline, signalling a decisive move to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration. Pakistan's decision to deport illegal immigrants is a reflection of its commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the security and prosperity of its citizens. Drawing inspiration from global norms, particularly European countries, Pakistan is navigating the complex immigration issue pragmatically. The deportation policy is not an act of discrimination against any specific nationality but a concerted effort to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration. As an independent country, Pakistan underscores the importance of individuals, regardless of their background, adhering to its laws and orders for the nation's collective well-being.
