Proud Pakistani are suffering at the hands of self serving, morally and intellectually bankrupt elite leadership, giving preference to their self interest personal and business relationship with Gulf states, ruled by monarchies, depriving their people of basic rights. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has banned Umra visas for Pakistani males below the age of 40, No other countries have been dealt with such discriminatory manner. Why only Pakistanis, when Pakistan is a brotherly country. Why do our leaders never raise their voice against the pathetic and inhuman treatment with our workers?
These labourers have contributed and shed their blood in building these Gulf States infrastructures. Pakistani leaders may be beholden to Gulf Rulers but not the common people of Pakistan; they cannot allow a junior minister of UAE and lowly Saudi Arabia minister and adviser to have the audacity to ridicule the joint resolution of Pakistan parliament, pledging neutrality in Yemen conflict. Pakistanis have made an investment of US$25 million in Dubai, no Gulf State has invested such amount in Pakistan. Our Arab brother should not call us miskens and also restrain from damaging our self respect.
