The return of Afghan refugees is being done under legal procedures.
Pakistan has taken the initiative to return Afghan refugees keeping in mind its national security.
The FC and civil administration are not only providing accommodation but also food for Afghan refugees.
Due to the Afghan war and civil war, Pakistan hosted Afghans for 40 years and set a great example.
This initiative is a strong foundation of mutual respect in Pak-Afghan relations.
