Iqbal Afridi’s son went to Italy and claimed asylum there.
He said this matter also reached Pakistan through diplomatic channels; such matters have become a cause of disrepute.
He said we have tightened the diplomatic and blue-passports and have reduced their number.
Blue passports will be issued wherever necessary, and this was also discussed in the committee today.
When we talk to other countries, we are asked, ‘What is the number of your passports?’ Talal Chaudhry said.
He said other countries do not sign MoUs with us due to misuse of blue passports.
We have tightened the official passports, and there has also been a significant reduction in them.
