ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has expressed concern over the expulsion of Afghan nationals from Pakistan, terming the move “unfair and inhumane.”

According to party sources, Khan made these remarks during a meeting with senior lawyer Salman Akram Raja at Adiala Jail on Wednesday. The PTI founder said that many Afghans had been living in Pakistan for decades and contributed to the country’s economy and society, adding that their sudden ouster was “not the right way” to handle the issue.

Khan expressed hope that the newly nominated Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, would raise the matter with the federal government. He said the policy of mass deportations should be reviewed to ensure that those who have long resided in Pakistan are treated with compassion and fairness.

The former premier also expressed confidence that Sohail Afridi would efficiently manage provincial affairs and continue PTI’s development and governance agenda in KP. He urged the party leadership to prioritize humanitarian considerations in policymaking and maintain stability in the province.
