LAHORE : Caretaker government has strongly been urged to immediately halt the forced and unplanned displacement of Afghan people from Pakistan. In a statement issued on Saturday, Insaf Professionals Forum said a poorly conceived policy of evacuating Afghan nationals from Pakistan is causing a humanitarian crisis and has the potential to strain the longstanding relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
