'Only Indians, Americans': Pak MP claims UAE hotel denied rooms to Pakistanis after flight cancellation
Pakistani MP and former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser has alleged that Pakistani passengers were denied hotel accommodation in the UAE after a flight cancellation, while Indian and US passport holders were allegedly offered rooms.
Pakistani opposition leader Asad Qaiser claimed the UAE denied Pakistani passengers hotel rooms after their flight was cancelled, only accommodating those with Indian and US passports. Qaiser, a former National Assembly speaker, said he personally experienced this at a hotel in Abu Dhabi. He expressed disappointment that Pakistan had played a positive role in the US-Iran conflict, but was dismayed by the UAE's reported discriminatory behavior.
Qaiser urged Pakistan's government to address the issue diplomatically and called for clarification from UAE authorities. The Pakistani MP emphasized Pakistan-Emirati relations, noting the UAE's status as a "brother Islamic country" and the large Pakistani population in the UAE. The claims were not independently verified and Qaiser stressed the importance of maintaining strong ties between the two nations.
