Authorities have been trying to reach out to the UAE authorities to ascertain the reason. Baig was of the view that suspension of work or employment visas were worrisome and he believed that the ban was “Pakistan specific”. He feared that if the issue was not taken up with the UAE authorities at the highest level Pakistan would lose the market to India. However, after the UAE imposed a ban on employment visas, his client now turned to India for fulfilling 3,000 jobs. Senator Baig urged Prime Minister Imran Khan and army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa to take up the issue with the UAE authorities.
