PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister CM Ali Amin Gandapur on Friday reiterated his government’s stance against the forced repatriation of Afghan refugees, emphasizing that any return should be voluntary and conducted with dignity.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail, Gandapur clarified that he had no formal role in dialogue efforts, despite Khan’s insistence on negotiations to resolve the ongoing security crisis.
“Our position on Afghan refugees is clear — we oppose any policy that forcibly sends them back. Those who wish to return should be treated with dignity,” he said, marking a departure from the federal government’s stringent approach toward undocumented migrants.
