The curious case of UAE statement

What Indian lies? UAE's own media houses have reported it as such.
Exactly man .... no amount of twisting words and try to sugar by certain people can change it. It was published in Gulf News.... it is so shocking that someone has the guts to lie.... This hypocrisy needs to end.

UAE minister warns Pakistan of ‘heavy price for ambiguous stand’ on Yemen

KARACHI: Pakistani lawmakers’ call for the government to remain neutral on the escalating crisis in Yemen has evoked a strong response from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

“The vague and contradictory stands of Pakistan and Turkey are an absolute proof that Arab security — from Libya to Yemen — is the responsibility of none but Arab countries,” UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Mohammed Gargash said.

As quoted by renowned Emirati newspaper Khaleej Times, Garhash warned Pakistan of having to pay a “heavy price” for taking on what he called an “ambiguous stand”. He added that Pakistan should take a clear position “in favour of its strategic relations with the six-nation Arab Gulf cooperation Council”.


“The Arabian Gulf is in a dangerous confrontation, its strategic security is on the edge, and the moment of truth distinguishes between the real ally and the ally of media and statements,” Gargash tweeted moments after the Pakistani parliament passed the resolution insisting on neutrality in the Yemen conflict.

Gargash went to symbolise Pakistan’s resolution as equivalent of siding up with Iran instead of the Gulf. “Tehran seems to be more important to Islamabad and Ankara than the Gulf countries,” Gargash said.

“Though our economic and investment assets are inevitable, political support is missing at critical moments,” he added.

The statement comes a day after the Parliament passed a unanimous resolution vowing to defend Saudi Arabia’s territorial integrity and the holy places of Makkah and Madinah. None of these locations appear to have so far been threatened by the conflict.

“Pakistan should play a mediating role and not get involved in the fighting in Yemen,” the resolution stated, adding that “the Parliament of Pakistan ... underscores the need for continued efforts by the government of Pakistan to find a peaceful resolution of the crisis”.

“[Parliament] desires that Pakistan should maintain neutrality in the Yemen conflict so as to be able to play a proactive diplomatic role to end the crisis,” it stated.

Erdogan, Nawaz discuss Middle East situation
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan telephoned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to discuss the crisis situation in Middle East and agreed that both the countries would accelerate efforts to resolve the deteriorating situation through peaceful means, said a statement issued by PM House on Saturday.

During the conversation that lasted for about 45 minutes, both the leaders stressed that Houthis didn't have any right to overthrow a legitimate government in Yemen and affirmed that any violation of the territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia would evoke a strong reaction from both the countries.

The Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes against Houthi rebels on March 26 in support of Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi after they seized the capital and forced him to flee to Aden. The government of Pakistan has so far not announced a decision on Saudi Arabia’s request for Islamabad to join a coalition fighting Houthi rebels by contributing jets, navy ships and ground troops.
I don't know how someone can stoop so low to defend indefensible.

What?
 
Exactly man .... no amount of twisting words and try to sugar by certain people can change it. It was published in Gulf News.... it is so shocking that someone has the guts to lie.... This hypocrisy needs to end.
Did you read what was posted?

1st was about UAE...the 2nd part was own opinion...and it was termed exactly that! But emotional Pakistanis can be played with by anyone anytime! :tup:
 
Sorry to say that one can't believe into what could have been the possibility but people discusses what is written and that is it. Calling it bias is unfair and not everyone hates GCC so they will be biased to think like that. Why to provoke people like this and surely make them to hate just because you are calling them bias?

Man you are taking it to another level....
When i say people are biased, i don't see why and who shall be provoked!
My impression aside, let's not loose the focus and continue with the alleged statement of UAE ambassador.

I have read the news ... in fact I posted it before you :-)
UAE needs to give a clear statement. In this neutral statement, UAE has treated Pakistan and India equally while they should have condemned Indian acts.

Also, UAE's ambassador in India has called it an internal matter.... while he should have either condemned it or refrained from the statement. The statement should be redacted.

UAE had good relations with Pakistan in the past but now their tilt is pretty visible. I know we still have good relations but certain elements in UAE's govt are doing a disservice.
Rest, no one should be angry with the people of UAE by some dimwits. I respect people of that country.

To highlight hypocrisy regarding ambiguity.
diplomats use their words based on situation...in 2015 there was a situation that needed to be addressed and this is 2019 ....

If you want to live in 2015, suit yourself!

alleged statement of UAE ambassador.

Merely waiting for counter content (statement to be precisely or at-least some rejection in view of attributing such lies to UAE Ambassador) to that statement and can't tell you how hard I am gonna smash.
