Most Pakistanis who travel abroad go with good intentions, but a large and growing number of young people, especially students, damage the country's name the moment they land in a foreign country. They go to the United Kingdom, Sweden, Türkiye, Germany, France, Belgium, or even Eastern European countries on a legal study visa. But instead of studying, they disappear, cross borders illegally, enter Spain or Italy, and then try to apply for asylum with fake stories and made-up tragedies. These actions shame Pakistan and make life difficult for every honest Pakistani who follows the rules.
Why does this happen? The truth is painful. Many minds have become corrupt. People are addicted to shortcuts. They think lies, illegal entry, and fake asylum claims are smart moves. They do not realize that these crimes destroy the trust that foreign countries have in Pakistani passport holders. Because of a few irresponsible people, thousands of genuine students and workers face tougher visas, more interviews, and endless suspicion.
This behavior must stop. The youth need strong guidance. Families, teachers, and society must teach them that no country respects liars. A real future is built through legal work, discipline, and honesty. Pakistan’s name is not a toy. Whoever carries this passport carries the honor of the entire nation. If someone cannot respect that, then they should understand that the world will not respect them either.
