PESHAWAR: Nat Geo's famed 'Afghan girl' Sharbat Gula will not be deported from Pakistan, a government source said on Sunday.

According to the source, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to write to the federal government to stop deportation of Sharbat Gula, who was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Oct 26 from Nauthia for illegally possessing a Pakistani computerised national identity card (CNIC).

On Friday, Sharbat Gula was sentenced to 15 days in prison and fined Rs 110,000 by the Peshawar High Court after she pleaded guilty to the charges against her. She was to be deported immediately from Pakistan after the completion of her sentence.

However, the KP government is to request the Interior Department to stop Gula’s deportation. The provincial government will reportedly ask for Gula to be allowed to return to Afghanistan with respect.

Sharbat Gula, who fled Afghanistan during Soviet occupation, shot to fame after her photograph as a young refugee was published on the cover of National Geographic magazine back in 1985. Her intense stare at the camera and expressionless face likened her to the famous 'Mona Lisa' painting. Sharbat, who was pictured outside a refugee camp, became a symbol of the human cost of the Soviet War.

A criminal is a criminal! Her being famous should not give her immunity from the law! Deport her immediately.

on the other hand Afg president announced to meet with Sharbat Gula after her deportation...Ghani will try to score some points against Pakistan, it's wise to keep her in Pakistan until the deportation of refugees start in few months..

it's up to Federal govt to decide her fate..play sensibly and dont give chance to puppets to score some points !!

First we should let the hype die down arpund her then we shpuld silently deport her

Not sure what this arrest achieved apart from bad PR. There are hundreds of thousands of Afghans with forged CNIC, she's just unlucky for being famous. Pakistan need to hunt down corrupt Nadra officials instead.

Her deportation will never be silent. It will always raise hue and cry bcz she will raise hue and cry unless we force her which is making things worse. The voluntary repatriation will make sure it gets a big deal. Pakistan has a serious problem of ripping band aids off. We don't complete the job, the moment any instance of pressure or pain comes. We abandone it half assed and then you know what happens? The half ripped band aid catches infection and we are forced to do a more costlier and painful operational remedy and while we do it, we wonder why didn't we just pull the damn band aid off back then. It frustrates me to no end.

What pisses me off is that this was the decision of the high court and a correct decision bcz she didn't have documents and the provincial Parliament intervened. PTI always stands and talks on a mighty pedestal about powers of courts should be supreme and binding on all yet here they threw the decision down no sweat. Irrespective of the consequences of her deportation or the timing, the govt should have went to supreme court to challenge the High courts decision rather than abrogate it like this. So going by this standard if the provincial govt can snub the highest provincial court, then so can the federal govt snub the supreme court. I can understand the reasonings and the excuse but I don't support the way they did it.

It also raises the question what about others that don't have documents? Why is she getting special treatment? Bcz she had green eyes and the others weren't fortunate enough to be the face of refugees.


All we got from this was bad press, bad precedent, the hypocrisy of a party that speaks about respecting court decisions but doesn't Care when it concerns them.

I'm a PTI support but I dnt support this decision . Afghan refuges can't make fake ID cards

 

[TMA]

Nothing matters until corrupt NADRA officials are hung by their necks till dead and their corpses are left on display until the vultures have had their fill.

There is no other choice for Pakistan

India is trying to isolate Pakistan from last 2 decades but they failed miserably & now afg is dreaming to achieve the same thing while sitting in india laps so far in last two decades india only gathered 2 countries to achieve the isolation of Pakistan, with the departure of Hassina Bangladesh will come to its senses !!
- We dont care but still we should play right cards at the right time,these farsiban rulers and warlords in the parliament shouldn't be given a chance to score points...we should keep her in Pakistan as a refugee and later deport her silently

Wtf KPK govt still have soft corner for these scums after APS,quetta,bachakhan and other parts of Pakistan? Parwaiz Khatak is really a khar dimagh.
no wonder why all call Imran *TALBAN KHAN*
IMO who sides with these scums after knowing all what these afghans were involved in all these times is a traitor!

 

[Path-Finder]

I feel sorry for her but afghans in Pakistan have become a burden and what makes it worse is the terrorism they do in return for hosting them. next time please go to the country that will tolerate you because all you afghans do is spit back in our faces.
