A member of Saudi Arabia’s Shoura Council has reportedly called for closer scrutiny of Pakistanis entering the kingdom for work after around 39,000 were deported in four months.

Saudi Gazette cited security sources for the figure. They described the number of Pakistani nationals involved in Daesh terrorist acts as a “societal worry”.

A number of Pakistanis have also been held for crimes including drug trafficking, theft, forgery and physical assault, according to the publication.

In light of this figure, Shoura Council security committee chairman Abdullah Al-Sadoun was quoted as calling for more thorough background checks for Pakistanis entering the kingdom.

He also called for closer coordination with authorities in Pakistan to determine the political and religious views of citizens before they are recruited to work in Saudi Arabia.

“Pakistan itself is plagued with terrorism due to its close proximity with Afghanistan. The Taliban extremist movement was itself born in Pakistan,” he was quoted as saying.

Seperately the publication said there were 82 Pakistani suspects in intelligence prisons related to terrorism and security issues.

Up to 15 Pakistanis were arrested following the kingdom’s recent terrorist operations in Al-Harazat and Al-Naseem districts in Jeddah that saw two terrorists blow themselves up.

Two Pakistanis were also part of a group held for plotting to target Al-Jawhara Stadium in Jeddah last year during a football match between the Saudi Arabian and UAE national teams.

So much for the "brotherly love" between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Shameful stuff, to be honest. Many of these Pakistani expats are peaceful and law-abiding people, not to mention the fact that they've helped build Saudi Arabia from scratch.

Do you have any idea how many Pakistanis go for Umrah every month?

Security reason =
1) How many Umrah/ Hajj/ Employment visa over stayers?
2) How many projects cancelled due to economic slowdown?

Btw hater, when someone, and that means anyone, is deported from the GCC, his details are shared with the rest of GCC members, so to assume that we don't know how many Pakistanis have been deported for "security reasons" is naive.
