Saudi–Pakistan Defence Pact: Shashi Tharoor Says ‘India Must Not Overreact’
Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday stated that India should not overreact to the recent Saudi Arabia-Pakistan mutual defence agreement, describing it as a formalisation of a long-standing relationship between the two nations.In an interview with ANI, Tharoor emphasised the need for a balanced perspective, cautioning against viewing international developments solely through the lens of India’s interests.”Don’t forget it is a formalisation of a long-standing arrangement. There was a time when there were 20,000 Pakistani soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia. Pakistan has long tried to project itself as the sort of enforcement arm of the Muslim world,” Tharoor said, referencing historical ties between the two countries.He cited a reported statement by the Saudi Crown Prince, who allegedly said, “I don’t need to make a bomb; if I want a bomb, I’ll buy one from Pakistan,” to underline the deep-rooted nature of their relationship.”That kind of relationship has already been very well known to the world. And I don’t think that we should overreact,” Tharoor said.
