QAMC Bahawalpur begins expelling 20 Afghan doctors, students

QAMC Bahawalpur Afghan students have been told to clear their dues and leave the country, and 12 residents have been asked to vacate hostels.

QAMC Bahawalpur has begun the process to expel 20 Afghan students: 12 postgraduate residents and eight medical students.

Students have been told to clear dues, obtain no objection and clearance certificates, and return to Afghanistan at the earliest.

The action follows a PMDC notification of Sept 1 directing Afghan medical students to return to Afghanistan.

The Lahore High Court suspended the PMDC directives on Sept 11, and the sources do not explain how the college's steps fit with that ruling.

The college has sent students' passport numbers and other details to the district police officer and other offices.
