Dubai Police Chief Says Indians Are Disciplined, Pakistanis Are Threat To Gulf Communities

Darpan News Desk IANS, 06 Apr, 2018 01:54 PM

    A senior Dubai police official has in a series of tweets praised Indians and lambasted Pakistanis, saying the former are "disciplined" while the community of the latter is rife with "disruption, crime, and smuggling", reported UAEviral.com.

     

    Dhahi Khalfan, Lieutenant General and Head of General Security in Dubai, posted these tweets after Dubai authorities arrested a gang of Pakistanis for smuggling drugs. The Pakistani press said he's known to make controversial statements. Perhaps because of that, he has a whopping 2.66 million followers.

     

    Khalfan tweeted posting a picture of the arrested Pakistanis, with a comment below it that said, as translated by UAEviral: "Pakistanis pose a dangerous threat to gulf societies because of the drugs they bring in to our countries. We must impose strict procedures at the entrances [of our countries]."

     
     
     

    (Pakistanis pose a serious threat to the Gulf societies for the drugs they bring with them... There must be very strict measures against them at the outlets..)

     
     

    (Stopping Pakistani labor recruitment has become a national necessity)

     

    And then he compared Pakistanis with Indians.

     
     

    (Why are the Indians disciplined? While idleness, criminality and smuggling in the Pakistani community are rampant)

     

    Dragging people from Bangladesh into the verbal assault, Khalfan suggested that Pakistanis should be subjected to increased inspection, similar to what Bangladeshis had to face "because of the criminal tendencies".

     
     

    “We became strict with the Bengalis because of the criminal tendencies they have shown. Pakistanis must be placed under an increased level of inspection.”

     

    Khalfan, who has a reputation for being tough and abrasive, took to the micro-blogging site after some Pakistani nationals were arrested by Dubai Police on charges of smuggling drugs. His comments prompted several Pakistanis to respond with regret and anger, while many others pleaded with Khalfan not to humiliate Pakistan.
