Pakistan stance is neutrality.

Now will India and other intel agencies just leave Pakistan alone so they can focus on their economy?

We need to play this calmly.

No need to get flustered. Pakistan should release a statement reiterating humanitarian support and dialogue.

Do not be drawn out into a political mud slinging contest.

This is the time Pakistan has to decide an important point in its foreign policy. They have to make it clear to everyone in the world that Pakistani army is not a mercenary. And then Pakistan should stick to its stand. Did arab countries took any stand on Kashmir issue? Did they do anything during East Pakistan war? Then why they want us now. They can have Indian army, when they are always playing love games with Indian, why not now.

Why shouldn't they sir? After all, your agencies had been kind enough to leave India alone when she needed development.

Arab may be are wrong, but we are dependent upon them. Right now Pakistani economy can't afford such misadventure.

Disaster will be for them, if Pakistan walks away from Saudia others in the region will exploite this and muster the courage to take Saudia or any other Arab nation on without fear and with confidence.
