So what is the 'story' about the passport? That the Pakistan 'State/Deep State' issued Dawood Ibrahim a passport to facilitate his travels to Dubai or wherever, and somehow decided to do so in Dawood Ibrahim's own name instead of just coming up with a completely fake new identity for him? The claim is ludicrous, but certainly not as ludicrous as the ability of some Indians to swallow it without question.
I mean, how exactly would this conversation go at Dubai Airport's immigration counter?
ARAB OFFICER: "Ya Habibi, you are from Al-Bakistan?"
DI: Yes.
ARAB OFFICER: Your name and your bicture look like the Al-Hindi most wanted, dastardly, demonic berson called Dawood Ibrahim with INTERBOL warrant for him - are you that guy?
DI: No, I don't think so .. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not him, certain in fact. It must be the mustachio.
ARAB OFFICER: Oh, OK. Enjoy your stay in Dubai, but remember, next time, if your country does not subbort us in Yemen, we will not be so gullible!
Instead of running away and hiding behind excuses like 'you didn't do your homework' or 'you haven't been following the story', how about countering the arguments with whatever you think the 'story' is - and feel free to reference all the 'homework' you've done, especially about how and why Pakistan would issue a man who has an INTERPOL warrant out for him, a passport in his real name.
It isn't a reliable source and sounds like someone regurgitating the original op-ed from another trashy paper. As I pointed out in the other duplicate thread created earlier, there is absolutely nothing the Saudi's need India for on the defence side (in terms of tangible military support, troops or equipment, from India) unless they think the Indian's are going to sabotage their relationship with Iran by taking sides in Yemen or support the Saudis militarily against Iran.
Who else are the Saudi's looking to fight with or 'defend against' with a 'defence pact'? They are not about to go to war with Pakistan over staying neutral in Yemen, since the main issue there is a perceived Pakistani diplomatic balance between Saudi Arabia and Iran. If they really wanted to hurt Pakistan, their main leverage is economic, via restrictions on the Pakistani workforce.
This 'news' hasn't made it into any of the major, reputable media outlets in Pakistan like Dawn or Tribune.
ofcourse you make light of it. did not expect any better
