What is new here? Oman also houses indian listening posts at the mouth of striats of hormuz. This posts are specifically targeted at pakistan so nothing to be shocked even if they attack pakistan along with indians.

Our relations with gulf nations are bound to detiriorate in next few decades because of CPEC so we should expect anything because of changing strategic alliances.

Can u plz throw some more light on it? Why would CPEC be a problem for Gulf nations?

CPEC is a game changer indeed.

But tell me something; is it worth antagonising your entire neighbourhood? The way you put it, everyone from Saudi to Oman to us to Iranians to Afghans to whatnots are annoyed with CPEC.

It is a dig at us but what about other countries?

CPEC is direct violation and a problem for world peace and harmony among neighbors.

Accepting reality seems very hard for you. CPEC is indeed a problem without solving the border dispute.

Who care about what others think about it when it is about to become backbone of pakistani economy. Do you people always care about what others think when you steal our water and build dams voilating IWT. As for gulf countries they need us more than we need them as evident by new Military allaiance.

It is your dellusion that you think that it is a dig at you or any other country. You migt want to think how prosperity of a nation becomes an eyesore for you.

Why haven't you taken it to the International Court of Justice?

There is no hearing against us and we haven't been summoned or even given a verdict.

Let's not jump the gun to blame each other on this.

We won't have batted an eyelid if this was not through our legal territory which is being held by you guys.

You really think this would have made us even remotely attentive if it was a link from your country to Iran or anywhere else?

No offense but prosperity of the people of Kashmir doesnt have to wait for the approval of India. Whether it is through over or under it is bringing jobs, industry and infrastructural development to the area so stop whinning as if you own the people of kashmir. When local populace has welcomed the developments so who are you to question its legality.

This entire resentment has nothing to do with ownership of land but rather petty and small minded thinking of Indian policy makers. Even if it wasnt passing through kashmir you people would still be whinning over the issue.

We can always agree to disagree.
