Listen up—there’s an issue coming up about governance, and who is very worried about it?

These are the things—what kind of things?—that people from the UAE tell our embassy.

They say, "Why don't you give visas to our people?"

So, one thing they told us was, "Your labour, you know..."

is not skilled labour.

They are unskilled—that is, they don’t have any trade skills.

They don’t know how to do proper, formal work.

Many are like that: they got visas through some agent or middleman and came here cheaply.

And then afterwards they said, "We make big claims."

We are used to on-the-job training.

Even the prime minister said that a labourer should receive full on-the-job training.

At first they don’t know anything, sir. They learn on the job, and the first job is the learning one.

And then what the prime minister of the country has said, and what the other labour...

Then the employers, the ones creating the jobs, explained the situation.

They said that your people have a problem with their skill set, a big and serious problem.

Another problem is language.

They do not know English.

Many people from other nationalities speak English.

Therefore they fall behind on that requirement.

Compared to them, Indians are somewhat better.

In India, because of a common link language, many people know English very well.

So they said that, first, there is not much demand for your labor.

Second, they said, "Sir, you Pakistanis, mashallah..."

You could say that these Indian people are, well, half.

That 50% of them are in the UAE.

If you compare them with India,

then if Pakistanis are five, Indians are ten.

But they said that in jail it is the opposite.

That in jail, the Pakistanis are twice as many as them.

The Pakistanis are twice as many there in those jails.

Then they said that drugs are brought in by your people.

Through them, drugs also get in, okay, so this is one other

disqualification. The next point they made, they said

that they are extremely quarrelsome types — Emi Gul Gul Talr Pahngay — and then

as for your beloved leader — shall I tell about him? — they have mentioned him.

They said that when Imran Khan's 'Nomae' incident happened, after that many people there also started to move, and they

started to hold some demonstrations here, okay. They have

taken big notice of this. They said that 'to sa unhon ki khala hi raha'.

They think very highly of Yu A, okay. This is not Pakistan. If you

want to hold any demonstrations, go to Pakistan to do them; here with us

we have demonstrations

Then they said, "Yes, social media, social media, you know, it's taking us to a

It is taking us to the brink of destruction, which we are not aware of

We have developed a brand-new awareness, you know — in this brand-new awareness, which

whoever has taught us something, we simply follow that, they said

that what people are doing on social media — even if it rains there

happens, they'll also put that on our account, they said

They said that the other day, when it rained, when there was a flood-like

situation, they said that these Pakistanis on social

media were spreading that because they had built a temple there

for Hindus, so Allah's punishment is coming. Secondly,

again, regarding social media they said that our

policy regarding Israel, our diplomatic relations, and

our diplomatic relations with India, then those people

It's very distressing that they won't stop saying these things on social media.

Alright, and they said that this kind of traffic, you know,

this traffic is even coming from Pakistan, and we don't like

it. We decide what kind of relations to have with which country.

So don't go around acting as if we should be asking you for advice.

Brother, tell me — you yourself come to us asking for money. Who are

you to be giving advice? Then they said — they said, 'yes'.

that your people have hygiene-related issues; namely,

that they don't bathe properly — they're dirty, their bathing

practices are not correct. That was another issue they raised. Then they

said that your people, Mashallah, who pray, take long

breaks to go and pray, leaving work repeatedly,

they go to pray during long breaks, so any one of their...

A potential employer — he likes someone who prays such long prayers

No. Okay. On the contrary, if he is Indian or Nepali, for them

from that side they don't have a sponsor problem, so therefore this is another of your

people's disqualifications, or the problem we have is that we have

the labour profiling that has been done, on the basis of which your numbers get reduced

is included — I've already told you the things mentioned above

As for beggars, you know how many beggars have gone from Pakistan

And it has also happened that they are deported repeatedly from there and then return, or from here

and then they leave, so I was asking them — I said that some, some

Where did you prepare the list of beggars? They said that we have

written to the FIA that they died; we've told them again and again, "mate..."

Those who appear to be beggars — have someone check them then

Okay, so they said that despite that people still come here.

And because of that we have to face extreme embarrassment, they

say that so many beggars have come from Pakistan now.

We also have to face embarrassment because at the state

level we are beggars as well, and there are quite a number who, in a personal capacity, are also beggars.

They are found in considerable numbers, and regarding the point they talked about

they said that many of the prostitutes also

come from Pakistan. Okay, that many of the body

selling women also come from Pakistan on these same visas.
