1. Al-Remeithi said that negative propaganda against Pakistan on social media by Pakistanis living or visiting the UAE has led to several arrests and 15-year sentences. More than 5 Pakistanis were sentenced to life imprisonment, while most were deported. Such Pakistanis will not get a visa (permission to stay in the country) of the UAE and will not be able to travel there.
2. In Pakistan, some people are in favour of Imran Khan, while others are in favour of Nawaz Sharif. Some people are in favour of army, some people are against army. When these people go to the United Arab Emirates, they express their opinions openly. The UAE wishes that political differences in Pakistan should not reach their country.
