The Saudis are back with their effort to use Pakistani soldiers as canon fodder in Syria. We refused Yemen mission and now we must also refuse Syria mission. Pakistan will not be part of any coalition without both Saudi Arabia and Iran as members. Now the Saudis are contacting PPP and trying to get their support for future debate in Pakistan's Parliament for the joining anti-ISIS coalition.

Saudi Anti-Terrorist Alliance Generates Debate in Pakistan
Islamabad, Dec 22 (Prensa Latina) The inclusion of Pakistan in an anti-terrorist alliance led by Saudi Arabia generates today in this country a political debate, while voices accusing the Nawaz Sharif´s government of the lack of transparency on the issue are growing. Last week, officials from the External Affairs Ministry were surprised by the decision of Riyadh to include Pakistan in the pact without consulting authorities, although 24 hours later Islamabad confirmed its participation.
Sartaj Aziz, advisor of External Affairs Prime Minister, defended yesterday before the Senate the country's decision to join the alliance, but he said that sending troops abroad is under discussion.
This year the Pakistani parliament rejected the request of the Arab nation to join the military campaign in Yemen.
Our government is involved in an international coalition without consulting the parliament, criticized the president of the Senate, Raza Rabbani, after questioning the position of Islamabad to enter into a pact "without knowing the details."
Senator of opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Farhatullah Babar, criticized the ambiguity of the authorities on the subject, while his colleague Tahir Mashhadi, from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, denounced the secrecy about the alliance goals.
Pakistan Today newspaper revealed Tuesday that Saudi Arabia courts the PPP, the main opposition party, given a possible vote in the legislature on the issue.
Riyadh seeks support from the PPP because it is the main force in the upper house of parliament and the largest opposition group in the lower, said an internal source from the party.
