Around 39,000 Pakistani nationals have been deported from Saudi Arabia in the past four months, according to the Saudi Gazette.
They said a number of Pakistanis were held in the crimes of drug trafficking, thefts, forgery and physical assault.
Against this backdrop, Abdullah Al-Sadoun, chairman of the security committee of the Shoura Council, called for “thoroughly scrutinizing” the Pakistanis before they are recruited for work in the Kingdom.
“Pakistan itself is plagued with terrorism due to its close proximity with Afghanistan. The Taliban extremist movement was itself born in Pakistan,” Abdullah Al-Sadoun, chairman of the security committee of the Shoura Council said.
He also called for thorough checking of the Pakistan nationals before they are recruited for work in the Kingdom.
“Pakistan itself is plagued with terrorism due to its close proximity with Afghanistan. The Taliban extremist movement was itself born in Pakistan,” he said.
The report also detailed that around 15 Pakistani nationals, including a woman, were nabbed after the recent terrorist operations in Al-Harazat and Al-Naseem districts in Jeddah city.
