Earlier, Somewhere buried deep in the valley of my 4300 posts, I once said, Relation between Pak and GCC and specifically UAE is like sibling quarrel, When kids quarrel, They take revenge by saying “Tum ne nai kia tha, Mein bhi nai karonga”.....It is called "hypocrisy personified." When they needed us in Yemen, we said NO. Now when their support for the Kashmir cause could be invaluable, they are literally saying "so now, you need us."
If our Decision was to deny our involvement in Yemen, That was an “Answer” to a formal Request.
Usually relations especially those that have historic depths, come with price, Prices like Yemen coalition, It is like this, Your friend loses a phone, He needs to call his someone urgently, Deep inside you know he will ask you for phone, And you being a memon, “Mera balance khatam kardega ye”....
So point is, Despite all, GCC has helped us very much, Unimaginable truly.
Yemen was sort of a clever but on the other hand a costing decision. Political decisions are usually costly but they are weighed as to what is higher, The benefit or the cost...
Surely, Getting involved in Yemen could have given us an opportunity to intervene, To avoid bloodshed, march into Yemen, Take locals into confidence, and bring both parties to table. But like I said, We have “Ghulami minded” leaders....
