Pakistan Directs Medical Colleges to Expel Afghan Students Amid Bilateral Tensions
Pakistan has ordered medical and dental institutions to stop admitting Afghan students and directed those already enrolled to return to Afghanistan, affecting hundreds including those midway through their courses. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council cited national policy and worsening bilateral relations as reasons. While Afghan students with valid documents may apply for visa extensions, some have been detained over alleged visa violations and anti-Pakistan activities. Authorities emphasize enforcement of immigration laws alongside concerns about propaganda.
