The acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, Noorullah Noori, criticized the deportation of refugees by Pakistan, saying that Islamabad is seeking to put pressure on the Islamic Emirate through the deportation of Afghan refugees.

Speaking at a gathering in Kabul held in the Ministry of Borders and Tribal Affairs, Noori called Pakistan’s decision to deport Afghan refugees “cruel”.

"The neighboring country has made a very cruel and unkind decision which is in contrast with all international law and manners. One of the reasons it made such a decision is that they thought Afghanistan has a new administration with low capacity and that it may be unable to control it," he said.

Noori also stressed the need for an improvement of education across Afghanistan and for all citizens to have equal rights without discrimination.

“We need knowledge. I accept it that knowledge is a need, and a human without knowledge is blind,” he said.

Meanwhile, some participants of the gathering called on the Islamic Emirate to treat the people with fair behavior based on Islamic Sharia.

"The people in Afghanistan are suffering from lack of a united law ... ," said Mohammad Khanjani, a participant.

The acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs referred to the meetings of the Islamic Emirate abroad, saying that the people who attended the meetings have been tested in Afghanistan over the past 20 years.
