Pakistanis are livid. Of all the things they could've been called, a top security official in Dubai compared Pakistanis to Indians and said that while Pakistanis are a "dangerous threat to Gulf societies", Indians were "disciplined".

Dubai's Head of General Security Dhahi Khalfan, in the light of a drug racket raid in Dubai, put out a series of tweets in Arabic accusing Pakistanis of bringing drugs into Gulf countries.

Khalfan, who is a former Dubai Police Force chief, advised people in his country to "not hire Pakistanis". He said it should be their "national duty" to stop hiring Pakistanis.

To make matters worse, Khalfan said that Indians are disciplined and should be prefered for employment instead (ouch!).

Attacking Bangladesh at the same time, Khalfan said that Pakistanis should face similar extensive security check-ups as Bangladeshis do 'because of their criminal tendencies'.

Retaliating to this attack, a report in Pakistani newspaper Dawn said that there are no government data readily available that prove the involvement of Pakistanis in "certain crimes in UAE more than immigrants belonging to other countries".

Pakistanis have also come on Twitter in response:
