Yes its a wise decision. We need to respect ourselves first before we expect others to start respecting us. OIC should never had invited India knowing well Indian dispute and aggression against Pakistan, founding member of OIC, yet they still did. Pakistan did the right thing by opting out of it.

SMQ is the co-author of Kerry Lugar bill, together with CIA & RAW.

 

[Menace2Society]

Yes best move. Sends a message. Sometimes a dignified silence is better than open hostile exchanges with India in front of OIC

 

[R Wing]

If we negate the integrity of the people in government and consider just the move... then, yes, for once we actually stood up for ourselves even among our traditional allies.

Just because our economy is going through a bad patch doesn't mean that we suddenly have to become pushovers in a world of big, bad wolves. We're a battlehardened nuclear power and we will, inshaAllah, slowly learn to act like it.

 

[American Pakistani]

Yes, a good step. OIC needs Pakistan, not Pakistan need OIC. Pakistan has to have a strong stance in the world. OIC want to invite terrorists and butchers of Muslims and Kashmiris, so I say shame on them for using Islam's name and inviting enemies of Islam. No wonder why not a single issue of muslim world has ever been solved since the creation of OIC.

So when India is not isolating Pakistan, Pakistan does it for her herself?

 

[Aslan1071]

Yes its a wise decision.

 

[Hamza913]

OIC is useless.

The bycot was of UAE hosted OIC session and we were not alone in it. Founding members did bycot along us so it was wise.

Imran is a worldly man and close friends with the sheikhs. Pakistan will never be isolated. They will see this as a dignified stand from a peace maker so chill.

Frist good decesion by PTI govt but thy been cornered by America's Biggers puppet Saudis for tht, who pushed pakistan to release tht Indian pilot promising fake intervention from usa if Pakistan do as wht been told, now with indian pilot is gone, OIC the logical pet of America is hosting India the startegical partner of usa and state of isarel?
Pakistan stands alone, with out any one backing it up evn China which opposed Saudis in. Cepec, won't be there if anything goes wrong, so ppls time has come to kick out all these pupets of usa from our country and be ready to fight with hounour whatever the result would be don't spare any traitors

Pakistan will never be isolated.

That comes down to geography and not wise diplomatic stances but i am told not to argue with Pakistanis since we at war so its all good

We don't need to argue we can have a healthy debate. I will make an effort to be more understanding in my responses.

Founding members of organisations are expected to be more mature. There is no shadow of doubt that Pakistan came up with the idea of OIC for closer cooperation between Muslim states who are plagued by similar issues and comparable issues.

India was invited as an observer and for all the talks of peace initiatives taken by the government, OIC summit would have presented a natural option that.

Diplomacy is not about childish attitude that GoP would offer talks in midst of war and then not be present at a summit where something could have been arranged. It is not about proving a point but being constructive about it.

Pakistan does not need to be India-centric in her foreign policy. But it is forced always into it due to whims of narrow minded and short sighted politicians.
