Islamabad: Information and Broadcasting Caretaker Minister Murtaza Solangi stated that all illegal immigrants residing in Pakistan have 28 days to leave Pakistan.

“We have given them a deadline of Nov. 1 to willingly return to their countries and if they don’t, all law enforcement agencies (LEAs) of the state and provinces will deport them,” said Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti.

After Nov.1, no foreigner can enter Pakistan without a passport and valid visa, Bugti added.

Interior Minister further said that DNA testing would also be applied to detect those “who are Pakistani identity cardholders despite not being Pakistani”.

The decision regarding the illegal immigrants was taken by the National Apex Committee which met earlier in the day.
