AFGHAN origin Pashtuns (Afghans) are thankful to Mahmood Achakzai for letting them come to Pakistan and providing them illegal CNICs and supporting them to damage the business of Quetta.

For Pakistani Pashtuns they have become a big problem because many illegal acts are mostly done by Afghans but the local Pashtuns get a bad name.

They have made Quetta a city of illegal goods. They have even opened Nato markets where they bring goods which were looted from Nato containers.

They increase inflation by bringing large sums of black money and by not paying taxes. And, many of them raise the slogan that one day Quetta and rest of Pashtun belt will be part of Afghanistan.

The government should take action against such elements before they become impossible to overcome.
