Islamabad: Displaying a failure of Pakistan missions abroad, over 283 Pakistani nationals are being deported by over a hundred countries daily since 2015 for illegal entry, having bogus travel documents or expiry of their work permits in the host countries, said reports.
According to official data, exclusively obtained by Geo News over 618,877 Pakistani nationals have been deported from 138 countries since 2015, reported The News International.
Officials of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) said that these deportees perhaps could not get proper support of Pakistan missions abroad, a move which led to an alarming rise in deportees in recent years. Over 72 per cent of total figures were deported from seven friendly countries namely Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Iran and Turkey. The average deportation of Pakistanis during the six-year period amounts to 321,590 (147 per day) from Saudi Arabia which is 52 per cent of the total deportees.
