Pakistan's interior ministry on Friday asked all "illegal foreigners" and Afghan Citizen Card holders to leave the country before March 31, warning they would otherwise be deported from April 1, APA reports citing Reuters.
Islamabad has in the past blamed militant attacks and crimes on Afghan citizens, who form the largest portion of migrants in the country. Kabul has rejected the accusations.
"Pakistan has been a gracious host and continues to fulfil its commitments and obligations as a responsible state," the country's interior ministry said in a statement. "It is reiterated that individuals staying in Pakistan will have to fulfil all legal formalities."
