The Government of Pakistan's decision to resume the deportation of Afghan migrants has sparked reactions.

The Islamic Emirate has called the deportation of migrants against international agreements, stating that the Government of Pakistan should reconsider this decision.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, said, "Forced deportation, under any name and by any country, is illegal and against the accepted norms of the world and should not happen because the people of Afghanistan, especially migrants, have seen many problems and should not face more."

At the same time, Amnesty International, expressing concern over the deportation of Afghan migrants by the Government of Pakistan, has asked for this process to be halted.

The organization wrote, "Amnesty International is extremely concerned by the decision of the new government to continue deportations of Afghan refugees, including Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders."

According to some organizations defending the rights of Afghan migrants in Pakistan, the government of that country has adopted strict policies towards migrants holding the "ACC" or the Afghan Citizenship Card at this stage. This process has also created concerns among migrants with documentation.

Mir Ahmad Raouf, the head of the Afghan Migrants Council in Pakistan, told TOLOnews, "The term of those migrants who had been distributed POR and ACC cards by the government and UNHCR in Pakistan before 15 August 2001 ends by the end of March. According to the government's decision, these migrants must be deported from Pakistan."

Atiqullah, a member of the defenders of Afghan migrants in Pakistan, said, "A large number of Afghans were forcibly deported, and the second phase of deportation will start in less than a month. The current silence of the Afghan government is questionable."

Pakistan implemented the decision to deport Afghan migrants at the beginning of November last year, an issue that also caused a deterioration in relations between Kabul and Islamabad.

The second phase of deporting Afghan migrants from Pakistan is expected to start in less than a month.
