Huh? Pakistan hopes to curb terrorism by deporting foreigners? Wouldn’t it work better if it stopped Pakistanis from leaving the country??

This is so shameful that Pakistan is following western agenda of maligning Islam and Muslims. I feel sick reading this article. Madrasahs are place of education. Foreign students should be welcome and should be given good treatment. If there is any particular madrasah or student under any suspicion then just follow up under the law, but leave all others alone and provide them good environment. Don’t treat them all as suspects.

I do not think Pakistan is serious about getting rid of them.

Hold on! Deporting is not the solution. For those without a visa, interview them, contact their embassies for background check, and then let them renew their visas.

The foreign students should be welcome to study in Pakistan provided they are not involved in any illegal/militant activity against the state of Pakistan.They should stick to their studies only and all madressah should be monitored by the government and their syllabus checked periodically. All students who are not registered or their visa have expired should regularize their documents or be deported ASAP, this is the law that prevails in every country.

That is not a solution. We cannot assume that all the students are criminals. However, maddresahs should be regulated by the education department and illegal students should either be provided with the correct student visas or if not eligible should be sent home.
