Mohsin Naqvi denies backdoor diplomacy with India

Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan India relations, Afghan deportations, Interior Ministry reforms

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi rejected backdoor diplomacy with India, declaring that no secret discussions are ongoing between the two nations, ARY News reported.

In a casual discussion with journalists, Mohsin Naqvi discussed the openness in Pakistan’s foreign policy and highlighted the country’s moral stand on regional matters.

Addressing domestic affairs, Mohsin Naqvi said that Iran deported over 300,000 Afghan nationals within two weeks, while Pakistan sent illegal residents back.

Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that Afghan PoR (Proof of Registration) cardholders will stop receiving extensions and that deported individuals will not be able to re-enter, having been blacklisted.

To revamp the Interior Ministry, Mohsin Naqvi announced that the government is planning to appoint a serving or retired army officer under the Secretary of Interior to oversee the civil armed forces.

Additionally, in progressive initiatives for Interior Ministry reforms, the government also aims to establish an Internal Accountability Bureau within the FIA to enhance transparency and self-regulation.

The Frontier Corps (FC) will maintain its conventional security structure, but recruitment will now have candidates from provinces beyond Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, endorsing national inclusivity.

In response to reports of 40,000 missing Pakistani pilgrims in Iraq, Mohsin Naqvi rejected the claims as overstated and exaggerated. He mentioned that the Secretary of the Interior and DG FIA will visit Iraq to investigate and resolve the matter.

On environmental concerns, Mohsin Naqvi emphasised the escalating threat of pollution in Islamabad due to insufficient green areas.

Immediate actions are underway to increase green zones, including the land purchase from police stations built on green belts.

An immense tree plantation campaign has been launched to plant 4 million trees in 60 days, aiming to restore the Margalla Hills and decrease pollution.

These initiatives reflect a broader strategy of Interior Ministry reforms in Pakistan, concentrating on institutional accountability, regional stability, and environmental sustainability.

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
