Dubai| Registering a strong objection on the Islamophobia on social media sites, Princess Hend Al Qassimi, a member of the royal family of United Arab Emirates, targeted a man called Saurabh Upadhyay for his series of Islamophobic tweets.
Upadhya had posted several tweets attacking the Muslims for Tablighi Jamaat congregation arranged in Delhi in the month of March, which led to a huge spike in Coronavirus cases in India. He had also voiced rumors such as Muslims ‘spitting on food’ to spread the deadly virus.

Replying to his earlier tweets, she said that the ruling family of UAE is “friends with Indians”, but his rudeness was “not welcome”.
“All employees are paid to work, no one comes for free. You make your bread and butter from this land which you scorn and your ridicule will not go unnoticed,” Qassimi further added.
The ruling family is friends with Indians, but as a royal your rudeness is not welcome. All employees are paid to work, no one comes for free. You make your bread and butter from this land which you scorn and your ridicule will not go unnoticed.
