Pakistan's implementation of its policy to force Afghan migrants to return to Afghanistan is on its second day, as the caretaker government's deadline for deporting illegal immigrants from the nation was November 1. 

The acting Minister of Refugees and Repatriation, Khalil Rahman Haqqani, said that twelve committees are now offering assistance in a number of places to families that are returning from Pakistan.

"We expect them not to do this with forceful arrests, demolishing the immigrants' houses and taking their properties, as well as not allowing them to carry out cash of even twenty to fifty thousand," Haqqani noted.

A camp has been created for 5,000 families returning from Pakistan via Torkham, and it is filling up.

Some of the families who have shelters are slowly leaving the camp and are going to their provinces, but there are also families who do not have shelter, and are saying that they are facing challenges.

"We are looking for houses, but we cannot find them. It is our right that they should not charge us rent first, but if they do, they should be reduced fares,” Dawlat Khan, a returnee told TOLOnews.

"If someone spends 40 years in an English person's house, he will treat him humanely. But these [Pakistanis] are like Israelis, they have no humanity,” said Waliullah, a returnee, to TOLOnews.

Meanwhile, some civil society activists and youth who went to Torkham crossing to welcome the refugees, asked all the citizens to help the refugees in reducing house rents and other expenses. 

They also asked international institutions not to remain silent in solving the challenges of the returnees.

"We call on all Afghans, businessmen, national and international institutions to come and cooperate with them. These are poor Afghans who are being deported,” said Javed Momand, a university lecturer.

“We encourage people to do this and we will hold media campaigns for them so that people give houses to immigrants so that despair ends,” said Ali Khalil Malikzai, a social activist.

According to the information of the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR), following the announcement of the deadline by the Pakistani government to deport illegal immigrants, more than seven and a half thousand families have entered the country through Torkham crossing in the past week.
