ISLAMABAD: The owner of an American restaurant chain in Pakistan is offering free meals to any Indian visiting the country on a short-term visa, in a novel reaction to reports that a Pakistani family was refused accommodation by hotels in Mumbai.




Iqbal Latif, who runs 26 franchises of international food chain Dunkin' Donuts in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar, took a leaf out of Mahatma Gandhi's book to show how neighbours should be treated. "It's not a big deal, but an effort to invoke the teachings of Gandhiji who preached love and coexistence all his life," Latif told Dawn News.

Latif's free-meal offer to Indians went into effect last week and the response has been overwhelmingly positive, the report said.




"We served 2,432 people in Peshawar, Islamabad and Lahore. They all loved it," Latif said. He took the initiative after reading reports that hotel owners of Mumbai's Bhendi Bazaar area refused accommodation to a family of six people from Karachi last week, following which they had to spend the night on the streets. The family was reportedly being refused accommodation as they did not possess the 'Form C' — which is to be submitted to a government department if people from outside the country come to the city on visa and stay in their lodges and hotels.



"I felt bad when I saw this that a family had to spend (a) part of (the) night (on a) footpath near a police station and another part at a pavement at the railway station," said Latif, adding his sales have gone up by 30% since this initiative.

I encourage all "Real Pakistanis" to stop going to that dunkin

Not much of this "love" shown in India of late. I think it's time for a reality check.

thread already exists

What's the big issue here? It's a good thing to do. And most of all, the guy got his company and his branches and his name mentioned in the papers, it's like low cost advertising, even if that wasn't his intention.

Kudoos to this guy! Awesome act of kindness and setting great soft image of Pakistan.
I hope people will get out of "hatred mode" for each other and focus on acts of peace! Don't we already have enough hatred around us, are we ever going to get tired of fighting and hatred.
Even a small gesture of kindness can get us to heaven in hereafter!
well done Sir!!
