Saudi Arabia has warned Pakistan to take serious and urgent notice of beggars flooding the kingdom under Umrah and Hajj visas, calling on Islamabad's Ministry of Religious Affairs to prevent such people from getting visas and entering its territory for begging purposes.
The Saudi government issued a warning to Pakistan after a large number of Pakistani nationals were caught begging in the country and were deported. It was revealed that the Pakistani beggars had entered into the kingdom under Umrah and Hajj visas, and were using their time to beg on the streets of Mecca and Medina.
