Pakistan Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that Pakistan has done everything possible to maintain positive relations with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Pakistani media cited the spokesperson as saying that Pakistan's foreign policy has been consistent that we want to have friendly ties with our neighbor Afghanistan.

"Pakistan's policy regarding deportation of illegal immigrants is not a global issue, but this is a law. There is an immigration law all over the world, and there is an immigration law in Pakistan. Anyone who violates this immigration law will be punished according to the law of Pakistan, Baloch told Pakistani media.

In the meantime, Pakistan media reported that Pakistan's former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called for distinguishing between terrorists and people.

According to the reports, the former foreign minister answered a question saying there was a lack of clarity in the caretaker governments policy about the repatriation of illegal Afghan immigrants.

"I don't see any clarity about the current policy. In my opinion, when we talk about Afghanistan, we should make it difficult for the Pakistani Taliban, we should make it difficult for terrorists who attack our office and our police stations, and we should go after them. We must distinguish between ordinary people and terrorists, Zardari noted.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate also called Pakistan's decision to deport Afghan immigrants from this country as hasty, saying that this decision is not acceptable to the people and political parties of Pakistan.

"I can confidently say that the hasty decision which has been made regarding immigrants in Pakistan, was not right for the people of Pakistan, and they were also upset, and it was not according to the will of its political parties and the general public of Pakistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews.

Regarding the deportation of Afghan immigrants from Pakistan, Amnesty International once again asked the government of Pakistan to immediately halt the continued detentions, deportations and widespread harassment of Afghan refugees.

Amnesty International in a statement said that Pakistan uses the expulsion of Afghan immigrants from this country as a political tool.

If the Pakistani government doesnt halt the deportations immediately, it will be denying thousands of at-risk Afghans, especially women and girls, access to safety, education and livelihood ---thousands of Afghan refugees are being used as political pawns to be returned to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, the statement reads.

"We call for an immediate stop to any forced deportation of Afghan immigrants from Pakistan. A large number of those facing forced deportation are those who left this country after the fall of the previous Afghan government, Zaman Soltani, a researcher at Amnesty International's South Asia Department, said.

After eleven days of deportations of Afghan immigrants from Pakistan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway has called for the support of vulnerable Afghan immigrants in Afghanistan.
