Burdened economy: ‘Pakistan has spent $200b on Afghan refugees’

[INDIC]

If we didn't look after the Afghan refugees, there'll be tens of thousands of dead bodies lying all over the refugee camps.

Just look at your own history. Back in 1971, your government used the excuse that millions of Bangladeshi refugees had become a burden on India. The burden was apparently so heavy that India launched a full scale war to get rid of them. Point being, looking after refugees is a very, very expensive business.

Pakistan has spent $200 billion in the last 30-years (average $6.67 billion a year), but that doesn't automatically mean all that money came from the Pakistani tax payers.

Do you know the worth of $7 billion 30 years ago. ROFL

It could be PKR or some other calculation issue the amount is way too high. They are saying they have spent around 40% of their economy every year on Refuges. No kidding. At-least try to think logically.

LMAO!!!!!......Forget about US $7 billion per annum. Even if Pakistan would have spent only US $1 billion per annum at Afghan refugees, then it means It would have spent or hand out a sum of PKR 180,000/annualy or PKR 11,650/month to every 5 member family. It means Afghan Refugees would have lived a much better life than their most hosts i.e. Pakistanis.

Its shamefull for Pakistan to decend to such low level that now It indirectly start begging on the name of Afghan refugees!!!!! When Pakistani tricks or blatant lies that it incured a US $70 billion cost at WOT did not buy by the world including 'Muslim Ummah', It started this new 'Shagufa' of US $200 billion cost it incured at Afghan refugees. Pak govts major revenue source i.e. US aid is drying and Pakistan is trying to float this new US $200 billion theory with the taeget of receiving much needed financial aid. But everyone must accept one thing that Pakistanis are quite creative and posses much more innovation & entrepreneurial skills than their Chinese friends.

Afghans hate Pakistan and are very ungrateful of Pakistan supporting, hosting, giving Refuge to Millions of Afghans for 30 years, Pakistan have stopped them on Border but Pakistan not able to stop them so Pakistan bear the brunt of Afghans, Most of them were not appreciated of Pakistan helping them out after 30 years of Hosting them in Pakistan cities and Refugee camps! I met such Afghans in gulf countries despite they even got Pakistan passports they still look down on Pakistan!
