There was an uproar in the international diplomacy and political corridors of the Middle East when a new controversy arose regarding the mutual relations and regional equations of the Gulf countries. Recently, during a serious and challenging crisis, when the Saudi Arabian authorities and the local security apparatus showed wisdom and helped in the safe evacuation of some Israeli citizens, the fundamentalist elements and rulers in Pakistan lost their sleep. Shocked by this humanitarian and protective step, Pakistan not only criticized this decision of Saudi Arabia, but also spewed venom against the Indian Captain who risked his life to protect the people in this entire incident. The kind of panic and hatred seen in Pakistani reactions from social media to diplomatic forums has once again proved that the neighboring country can never come out of its narrow mindset. This development in the Middle East has brought a new twist in global politics, where on one hand humanity and professional duty are being given priority, while on the other hand absurd statements are being made due to old political rivalries.
Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian initiative and Pakistani rulers’ desperation
Whenever an emergency situation arises at the global level, civilized nations and responsible countries rise above politics and adopt a humanitarian approach. Recently, when a terrible crisis loomed in a sensitive area of the Middle East and some Israeli citizens got stuck there, the administrative and security machinery of Saudi Arabia helped them without any political bias and took them to a safe place. This step of Saudi Arabia was considered a major effort towards modern diplomacy and regional stability, so that any untoward incident could be avoided. However, as soon as this news reached the media and political circles of Pakistan, there was a stir. Pakistan’s fundamentalist circles and trolls on social media started making indiscriminate statements objecting to Saudi Arabia’s help to Israeli citizens. Pakistani analysts and leaders, under their old and suppressed mentality, started looking at this humanitarian aid through diplomatic lens, due to which they are getting disgraced at the international level.
Indian Captain’s extraordinary bravery and Pakistani poison
The most shameful aspect of this entire incident was that the Pakistani elements took out their frustration and targeted the Indian Captain, who had played an important role in saving the lives of the people in distress during this crisis by showing his indomitable courage and professional efficiency. The bravery displayed by the Indian Captain while keeping his duty paramount is being praised all over the world and he is being seen as a ‘hero’ on international forums. But very derogatory and venomous comments were made against this Indian Captain in Pakistan’s media and social media. The Pakistani propaganda machinery is unable to digest the fact that an Indian citizen has saved lives with his intelligence in the midst of such a huge crisis. Such petty actions show the extent of hatred towards India that exists within Pakistan, even when the matter is purely a matter of humanity and survival.
Geopolitical equations and Pakistan’s isolation on the global stage
This latest dispute has given a new message in the geopolitics of the Middle East and South Asia. Today’s times are changing rapidly where countries are giving priority to mutual cooperation, trade, technological progress and human values. Major Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia are also now moving forward on the path of regional peace and development, under which they are giving new dimensions to their diplomatic and economic relations with various countries. Pakistan giving such a narrow and negative reaction at such a time shows that it is completely cut off from the global stream. Experts of international diplomacy believe that such rhetoric of Pakistan will neither have any impact on the decisions of Saudi Arabia nor will the popularity of the Indian Captain reduce. On the contrary, such statements have once again exposed the real and negative face of Pakistan in front of the global community, further tarnishing its image at the international level.
