Some refugees have been living in Pakistan for three generations. They have established their business here, and some of them have even married locals and have been deeply integrated into society.

Yet they are namak harams who give Pakistan no loyalty and support Afghanistan and PTM

Had enough of these bastardz, get them out!

 

[hunter_hunted]

hard to imagine these scums are in every part of pakistan. Out corrupt leaders were true scums and without spine

How can they vacate at a notice of 6 days?

This is just for political rhetoric specially when an extension of 1 year is already agreed upon.

PTI social media team works overtime and yet makes a mockery of themselves.

 

[Crystal-Clear]

kick them out .
