Saudi foreign minister refuses to condemn Pakistan over Pulwama attack

[MenInG]

NEW DELHI: Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel Aljubeir on Wednesday refused to condemn Pakistan over the Pulwama attack which killed over 40 Indian paramilitary soldiers.

In an interview with India Today, the Saudi foreign minister, who is part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman's delegation visiting India, said, "How can we condemn Pakistan when we don’t have the evidence before us yet."

Adel Aljubeir added, "India and Saudi Arabia have shared concerns on terror, we will work together to de-escalate tensions."

The Saudi crown prince led a delegation to India after his visit to Pakistan.

The already sour relations between India and Pakistan have worsened over the past week as New Delhi piled blame on Islamabad for the Pulwama attack.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Imran Khan responded to Indian allegations and offered to investigate the Pulwama attack if India shares "actionable intelligence with Pakistan". In a video message to the nation, PM Imran said, "Pakistan is ready to investigate the attack and act if India provides actionable intelligence. Not because we are under pressure but because it is our policy."

Over 40 Indian paramilitary personnel were killed last week when an explosives-packed van rammed a convoy transporting 2,500 security forces in Pulwama, in the deadliest attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir in 30 years.

Pakistan isolated. India shining.

 

[Pakistanian]

Iran, Turkey, Saudi or most OIC countries would never condemn Pakistan. I think Indian nationalists don't understand that.

Modi is saying he "forgot" to mention Pakistan! What happened is that not only Saudi but no one is buying Indian garbage of Pak having killed their soldiers when their own atrocities are for all to see on social media. In today's time nothing can be hidden anymore. India needs to understand that most Muslim countries will be pro-Pak, even the likes of Russia have not mentioned Pakistan.

Modi doesn't care. So long as he can get a few deals for his corporate buddies who'll be funding his election blitz, he'll be fine.

So if Congress are lying then Modi is no angel. From the video's I have seen why did Modi not mention Pakistan's name to the Saudi's? This is because he forgot after going on about it for the last week!

Saudi King said Pakistan is my second home. Signed a big deal and Modi ji giving him a tight hug when he arrived in India. King said Modi is his elder brother (Hey Bhagwan) I am confused now what rishta we have with Modi now? Modi is our Taya ji I think

 

[a_tahir]

Isolation at its finest.
India is really putting dirt on pakistan aren't they?

All that rhetoric went to dust as soon as MBS went to India. There was some joint statement about terrorism but thats it. What did you expect? First of all talking about curbing terrorism with a Saudi guy is ironic. Second of all, the biggest Hindu extremist leader India has ever seen has managed to be friendly and in business with both Iran and Saudi Arabia at the same time. How many countries in the world can claim that now? Rhetoric is for elections. When it comes to matters of business, religion, rhetoric, chauvinism take a back seat. His buddy Ambani is getting a 40 bil refinery in total with 50 percent investment from Saudis. The total investment by Saudis in India is close to 100 bil. Underestimate an ignorant or an intellectual as you know what you'd get. Never underestimate a chameleon who knows when to drum up or tone down depending on opportunity.

That 'Bear Hug’ greeting Modi gave MBS was so cringing to watch.
Modi really belittled himself with this 'staged' posturing, to the annoyance of fellow Hindu hardliners and members of the opposition.

Thats Indian diplomacy. Pakistan can learn a lot from its enemy.

This was more about MBS trying to clean up his image in Asia after the journalist murder. However, it got side tracked due to Pak Ind conflict.
