The grand welcome of His Highness the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Sunday showed the world that the people of Qatar are united, Doha-resident Riaz Ahmad Bakali told Qatar Urdu Radio’s show Haqeeqat yesterday.
“The huge turnout at Corniche sends out a strong signal to the neighbouring countries that imposed the illegal blockade on Qatar that the people have complete trust and faith in the leadership of Qatar,” he explained.
“The citizens and expatriates are equally devoted to His Highness the Emir and they have shown a strong spirit in times of adversity,” he added.
Haqeeqat, which aims to engage and interact with the large South Asian expatriate community in Qatar, is a joint venture of the Gulf Times and Qatar Media Corporation Urdu Radio. It is broadcast from Sunday to Thursday on FM107.
