Sat Apr 26 01:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Amit Shah Orders Deportation of Pakistanis from Telangana Following Pulwama-like Attack
**Hyderabad, April 26, 2025** – Union Home Minister Amit Shah has ordered the deportation of all Pakistani nationals from Telangana state by the end of April, following a recent terror attack (details not specified in the source). Shah reportedly made a phone call to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to convey the directive.
The order comes as part of a nationwide effort to expel Pakistani citizens in the wake of heightened security concerns. The Telangana Director General of Police (DGP), Jitender, announced that approximately 208 Pakistanis in Hyderabad must leave the country by April 27 (ordinary visas) and April 29 (medical visas), with the border closing on April 30. Failure to comply will result in legal action.
The DGP’s statement categorized the individuals: 8 with medical visas, 156 with long-term visas, 4 with short-term visas, and the remainder with other types of visas. The situation of a Pakistani national, Nazir (55), currently imprisoned in Telangana despite completing his five-year sentence in 2018 for illegal entry, is also under review. Further, another Pakistani national, Usman, is reportedly in police custody.
The move has raised questions about the impact on families with cross-border marital ties and those who regularly travel to Hyderabad for medical treatment. While the government’s primary concern is national security, the logistical challenges of implementing this swift deportation are significant.
