Nisar hits out at UAE minister for 'threatening' Pakistan

[HAIDER]

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Sunday hit out at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for condemning a unanimous resolution by Pakistani lawmakers to stay out of the conflict in Yemen, in a rare display of discord between the two allies.

Pakistan's Parliament on Friday passed a resolution backing the government's commitment to protect Saudi Arabia's territory from Houthi rebels, but declined Riyadh's request for Pakistani troops, ships and warplanes inside Yemen.

Anwar Gargash, the UAE's minister of state for foreign affairs, lashed out at Pakistan's vote Saturday, terming it “contradictory and dangerous and unexpected”, and accusing Islamabad of siding with Iran, which is accused of backing Houthi rebels.

Gargash added that Pakistan's stand would come at a "high cost."

But Nisar hit back on Sunday night in an unusually strongly-worded statement, accusing the UAE of “levelling threats.”

“This is not only ironic but a thought-provoking moment that a minister of UAE is hurling threats at Pakistan. The statement of the UAE minister is in stark violation of all diplomatic norms prevalent according to the principals of international relations,” Nisar said.

“Pakistan is an honoured nation and has brotherly emotions for the people of UAE along with Saudi Arabia, but this statement of an Emirati minister is equal to an offence against the ego of Pakistan and its people and is unacceptable."

He said Pakistan was the first country to recognise UAE's independence in 1971 and the two Sunni Muslim-majority countries have close economic ties.

Good! I hope more of our representatives follow suit. These Arabs need to be reminded we're not their puppets.

Bhutto and Zia despite all their faults and evils were only 2 leaders we had, who had guts to speak. Nisar spoke because he is closer to military, don't expect anything thing from others.

Zia slamming Arab league on expelling Egypt from OIC, Palestinian issue and for being reason of absence of Iran from summit. Can anyone from current lot talk like this?

No Arab is threatening. if you know their culture, they are begging and pleading.
The only think they are saying please do not pull away from us at this hour.
otherwise we may pull away as well.

What can UAE do ?

[CHI RULES]

every one on this forum has likes and dislikes but being Muslims we should judge the situation with the measures given by our religion not sectarian vultures of both sides.

1. Iran and GCC countries both sucking blood of ordinary Muslims whether it is Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon, Pak (sctarian violence) and now in Yemen, I consider both blood suckers and vampires.
2. Pakistan neither a slave of Iran nor GCC. Having respect for some countries is another issue, like previously despite having different sect I had great respect for Iran considering stance on US and Israel. But now they have lost respect similar is case with KSA and GCC.
3. As Pakistanis we should stand behind brave stand of our Govt rather taking every thing negatively, no one is saint here. You and me every one has his own weaknesses, should show somw respect to our Govt on international forums.
4. Iran/Shias can't kill all Sunnis/Wahabis and same is case with Sunnis. Then why bot parties are involved in massacre of innocent Muslims. I consider children dying in Syria or Yemen as my own. It is mourning time for Muslims we should raise our voices for peace within Muslim world, stop sending hate messages.

Your beloved gunja don't even have courage for ooper ooper say.

I strongly condemn your words Ganja for our Prime Minister Nawaz sharif u should show ur hattered on some other place not on int forum. That's why foreigners don;t give respect to Pak as don't respect each other.

UAE may shift towards Indians as Iranis have done in the past despite Pak favours.

My reply on other thread,

Scenario 1: Pakistan take sides with GCC

It will spark a back lash within country specially from Shia populace and many moderate Sunni parties as well, who dont like Saudi/Wahabi influence. Around 2 divisions will get stuck in a a bloody Civil war in Yemen. Iran is most likely to deploy its forces along Pak-Iran border. India will not spare this golden chance, and collaborate with Iran on harming Pakistan. Afghans will also jump in with Indians. Chinese president has already cancelled his visit once again. USA is threatening Pakistan, as its interests are changing sides now. Our newly develop little understanding with Russia will went up into smoke. Imagine Pakistan in that situation. Even our Armed forces, due to which we have survived last 15 difficult years, will not be able to do anything as they will be in trouble from all sides.
Thing to remember, if some one claim that GCC will come for help to Pakistan, he is either stupid or not sincere with Pakistan. Apart from few thousand tons of free oil and some cash, they will do nothing, and let Pakistan split just like 1971 crisis.

Scenario 2: Pakistan take sides with Iran

It is a very low possibility, still it will bring surely a civil war here. All defeated elements of TTP and alike will get a new life. Huge influx of expatriates from GCC towards Pakistan. Saudis and UAE will encourage India to take on Pakistan. And this is absolute disaster for us.

Scenario 3: Pakistan remains nuetral

This is apparently the stance Pakistan is taking. It has make GCC very irritated, frustrated and so on. Its visible from there reactions also. It has make Iran a little contented, which make sure that atleast our border with Iran will remain peaceful. Our forces will remain in Pakistan and finish off ZeA operation, also to deter Indian misadventure.
Saudis and Co will be forced to bring in their mercenaries from AF-Pak to Yemen. If even 50% of these hardcore terrorist went their, it will be a big relief for Pakistan.
It will also show maturity on part of Pakistan, which encourage warmth of relationship from Russia.
Chinese, who are some what confused with their decision to invest in proposed trade route through Pakistan, will went ahead with their plan. Only downside is the possibility, that all 4.2 million Pakistanis from GCC will be deported. Pakistan will loose free coupons of petro dollars etc.
Positive thing is that, thousands of doctors, engineers and technical workers will get back to Pakistan.
Dont worry about Oil, Iran could meet our needs. What make difference, if you pay to Iran rather then Saudis. You would also have the possibility of oil for rice kind of barter trade, which will save Pakistan's foreign exchange.

Pakistan will also have a golden chance to reverse the evils of Zia times.
Pakistan could emerge as a mature nation, while taking part as a mediator along with Turkey in ME crisis.
Its time for best of diplomacy, civil & military statesmanship. Dont look at this as a trap and negative, look at the positive sides, which Pakistan could achieve here.

PS: Expelling all Pakistanis and breaking all kind of economical relations is not so easy for KSA and UAE. It will drown their economies at once.
