Peshawar: Over 126 Afghan Nationals were arrested by Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) as a result of a riot in Hayatabad. The Afghan Nationals were gathered on the night of 18th August that marks Afghanistan’s Independence Day, and the celebration of independence turned violent when the huge gathering of Afghan nationals chanted anti-Pakistan slogans.
The situation got intense when Pakistani youth arrived at the scene to stop Afghan Nationals from raising anti Pakistan slogans causing public disorder and nuisance. According to police officials, when they arrived at the scene of riot and tried to open blocked roads, Afghan nationals resisted them with stone pelting.
The police said they had arrested around 20 Afghan rioters and the rest of the rioters were arrested from the University Town neighbourhood after identification. Authorities will further identify Afghan Nationals in Pakistan who are propagating against the state of Pakistan, said police officials.
Colonel Qasim Shah, who is known for his role as Captain Gulsher in a famed series Alpha Bravo Charlie, took to Twitter to report over 126 Afghan rioters have been deported this morning at 10 am. They have been blacklisted and handed over to Afghan authorities for chanting anti-Pakistan slogans and they won’t be allowed to enter Pakistan again.
These people are safe in Pakistan and being fed on our resources despite the fact that we don’t have enough for our own people who are also in need. And then this is how they behave. They should keep in mind that Pakistan is under no obligation to allow America to use our routes to fund their violent greedy propaganda. Where is all this hate coming from? And where is their gratitude? Their families are safe because Pakistan opened it’s borders to these refugees. We are not the ones who caused these problems. Where are the anti-American slogans?
