Pakistan's Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, has labeled Afghanistan as an "enemy country," intensifying bilateral tensions. His remarks come as Pakistan escalates its deportation of Afghan refugees, aiming to expel up to 3 million individuals by the end of 2025. Asif criticized opponents of the deportation policy, calling them "enemies of Pakistan" and accusing Afghan migrants of disrespecting Pakistan's sovereignty. The deportation drive has faced criticism from various quarters, including Afghan officials and human rights organizations, who argue that it violates international law and puts vulnerable populations at risk. This development marks a significant deterioration in Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, with both nations accusing each other of harboring militants and undermining regional stability.
