Dubai security chief compares Pakistanis with Indians

ISLAMABAD: After unearthing a drug gang of suspected Pakistani criminals in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai's most senior security official slammed Pakistani authorities and community for failing to stop drug smuggling from their homeland to the Gulf states.

Head of General Security for Dubai Dhahi Khalfan tweeted, "The Pakistanis pose a serious threat to the Gulf communities because they bring drugs to our countries." Khalfan posted many messages about the Pakistanis and also advised the UAE nationals not to employ Pakistanis, who have deep historic relations with the region through cultural and religious ties.

Khalfan compared the Pakistani community with Indians in his tweet. “Why Indians are disciplined? While sedition, criminality and smuggling in the Pakistani community are rampant,” he said. The statements were posted on his official Twitter account after the Dubai authorities arrested a gang of Pakistanis for smuggling drugs.
