A similar revelation has been made about the citizens of Pakistan, which has come to be known as a beggar country in the world due to its miserable economic condition.
According to the information given to the Standing Committee of the Senate of the Government of Pakistan, a large number of Pakistani citizens who go abroad are engaged in begging and due to this, it is their turn to go to jail.
Jishan Khanzada, Secretary to the Government of Pakistan informed the Standing Committee that about one million citizens of Pakistan are abroad and many of them are begging. They take visas to other countries and then start begging there. In many cases, flights departing from Pakistan are full of beggars. 90 percent of people detained in Arab countries are Pakistani beggars.
He said that Pakistanis involved in begging also face legal hurdles. 90 percent of the beggars abroad are of Pakistani origin. The ambassadors of Saudi Arabia and Iran have also said that our jails are full of Pakistani beggars.
Khanzada also said that many pickpockets caught in Saudi Arabia are also from Pakistan and they are mostly begging there with visas in the name of performing Umrah.
