Mullah Hassan Akhund, the Taliban’s prime minister, asked the government of Pakistan to solve its problems with the group through dialogue and not to show its power to the Afghan immigrants.
On Friday, Mullah Hassan Akhund reacted to the mass deportation of Afghan immigrants from Pakistan and asked the Pakistani government to stop putting pressure on the immigrants.
In a video clip published by the Taliban on X social media platform, the prime minister of the group read a strong statement against the new decision of the Pakistani government.
In this video clip, Mullah Hassan Akhund asks the Pakistani officials, “Who gave you the right to enter the homes of immigrants, humiliate them, and take their money from their pockets?”
In the speech, he asks, "Who are you to confiscate [immigrants'] property and assets?"
According to the Taliban’s prime minister, if Pakistani officials have problems with the government of the group, they should solve their problems through understanding and dialogue. In his speech, he emphatically invited the Pakistani officials to a dialogue to solve the problems.
This senior Taliban official said that if the Pakistani government claims that it is deporting "illegal immigrants", then in which law is there a place for destroying their houses, humiliating them, and confiscating their property.
He stressed, “No immigrant's life, property, and honour are safe now."
Mullah Hassan Akhund warned the Pakistani officials to think about their future and how "we will live together" with such behaviour.
The Taliban’s Prime Minister, who rarely appears in the media and usually does not take a public stance on political issues, has responded to Islamabad’s claim about the involvement of Afghans in Pakistan's recent instability.
Rejecting the claim, Mullah Hassan Akhund said that Afghans have lived in Pakistan for the past 45 years without creating any security challenges for Islamabad.
As the November 1 deadline of the Pakistani government for migrants to leave the country ended, Islamabad has put unprecedented pressure on the Afghan immigrant population in the country.
In the past few days, numerous reports of mistreatment, detention, and forced deportation of Afghan immigrants have been published in the media.
Pakistani officials said that only 19,744 Afghans returned to Afghanistan through the Torkham border on Thursday. Meanwhile, 147,944 Afghans returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan in the last month.
