| Pakistanis pose a threat to Gulf communities, says Dubai security chief |

| [DAWN] A top Emirati security official, known for making controversy-catching remarks on wide-ranging issues, took to Twitter to denounce Paks, accusing them of being a "dangerous threat to Gulf societies". In his recent diatribe on April 1, Lt Gen Dhahi Khalfan, who is the head of general security of Dubai, wrote in Arabic: "The Paks pose a serious threat to the Gulf communities for the drugs they bring with them to our countries." The tweet, followed by a series of similar attacks targeting Paks, came in the backdrop of a drug racket being busted in Dubai. The tweet was also carrying a photo apparently showing three Pak smugglers, along with the drugs allegedly recovered from them. No government data is readily available to show that Pak citizens have been involved in certain crimes in UAE more than im Khalfan resorted to generalising, however, asking his fellow citizens "not to employ Paks". The security official, who was the head of Dubai Police Force until 2013, termed it a "national duty to stop hiring Paks". |
