India and the United Arab Emirates have decided to set up a $75 billion fund to launch various infrastructure projects in India besides paving the way for an enhanced cooperation in the fields of defense production, space technology and nuclear energy. The economic and defense circles in Pakistan have so far kept a mum on the latest political and diplomatic offensive by India against Pakistan, but close India-Arab cooperation is not a new phenomenon. Since the inception of Pakistan, Arab countries, including Syria, Iraq and small Gulf States remained closeallies of India and openly shared their anti-Pakistan sentiments with each other. During the 1971 war, Egypt was involved in providing military hardware to India while late Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat had been in the habit of calling India as his second home. Hundreds of thousands of Hindu workers are living and earning in Arab countries and they are preferred on the Muslim and Pakistani workers by the tyrant rulers. What is the status and living conditions of Muslims in India is not their concern and occupation of Kashmir is also a non-issue for them. The latest Indian offensive seems to be in response to Pakistan’s close cooperation with China.
Indian Prime Minister NarendraModiwas involved in the wholesale massacre of Muslims in Gujrat State and he has been elected PM on the power of anti-Muslim vote. But UAE has interests in India and hostility about Pakistan as the development of Gwadar as free port will severely affect businesses in Gulf States. There is an alleged Indian-Gulf states nexus on the issue of Balochistan where both are involved in fanning insurgency. During his speech in Dubai, Modi took veiled digs at Pakistan, asking the world powers to ‘unite against terrorism’. India has recently set free the culprits who were involved in SamjohataExpress tragedy and is fanning separatism in Balcohistan. India is wild in spreading money among anti-Pakistan elements to oppose the construction of KalabaghDam and create controversies about the proposed Pak-China Economic Corridor. Modi has proudly said in Dubai that the UAE has supported India’s candidature for permanent membership at the UN Security Council.
It is the time the Pakistani rulers should open their eyes and call an explanation from the UAE about the latest agreements with India. The government should also raise the issue of UAE’s interference in Balochistan affairs. Pakistan is an eyesore for the countries which see it as the only state on the world map which came into being in the name of Islam. India is our day one enemy as it has established economic relations with all the countries in the region except Pakistan.
