"India and UAE share the value of non-discrimination on any grounds. Discrimination is against our moral fabric and the Rule of law. Indian nationals in the UAE should always remember this," he had said in a tweet.

The report in Gulf News noted that the UAE outlaws all religious or racial discrimination under legislation passed in 2015.
