Alarming confessions from Afghan individuals involved in violent protests have surfaced in Islamabad.
Several rioters, masquerading under the guise of peaceful protests, have crossed all limits against the state, leading to multiple arrests.
One rioter, Abdul Qadir, stated, “My name is Abdul Qadir, and I am from Afghanistan. I work in Peshawar. A person named Javed in Peshawar paid us 5,000 rupees for one day’s work and instructed us to create chaos at the PTI rally, including vandalizing cars and setting homes on fire.”
Another individual, Amanat Khan, also from Afghanistan, admitted, “I was involved in violent actions after receiving money from the PTI. These rioters should refrain from damaging national property, burning vehicles, and ruining roads.”
Mudassir, another Afghan national, claimed, “We were paid by PTI members to start fires in Islamabad, break people's bikes, and set homes ablaze. Now we are at the police station, and no one has come to bail us out.”
Lastly, Nooruddin, another Afghan involved in the protests, shared, “PTI members gave us two to three thousand rupees to cause chaos during the rally and set vehicles on fire.”
The authorities are urging Afghan nationals to engage in honest work and avoid associating with elements that harm their own country. Strict legal action will be taken against those involved in rioting, and any form of violence disguised as protest will not be tolerated.
