The minister said that all the district administrations across Balochistan were taking steps to deport illegal foreigners.
He said a nationwide database of existing illegal refugees would be created, who would be prosecuted under the Foreign Act if they did not return to their native country.
He said the government was concerned about the activities of illegal foreign immigrants, some of them were involved in serious crimes like murder and robbery. Some of them were even found involved in terrorist activities.
"Pakistan will be cleared of illegal aliens at all costs," he affirmed. The United Nations had also recommended strict action against all those involved in terrorist activities, he maintained.
