NOVEMBER 2019 Vol 10, Issue 11 Gone are the days when one used to use India-Saudi Arabia Ties Islam to gain power Scaling New Heights Prime Minister Imran Khan, while addressing a public rally in Gilgit-Baltistan, told the ‘Azadi March’ protesters congregated in Islamabad that when they run out of food, more will be sent to them, but their leaders should not expect any amnesty from him.

“Gone are the days when one used to use Islam to gain power. This is a new Pakistan. Sit however long you want. When your food runs out, we will send more. But we will not give you an NRO,” declared the prime minister.

His comments came shortly before PML-N President She- hbaz Sharif joined the Azadi March in Islamabad.

[It seems] the only thing ‘liberal’ about Bilawal is and Riyadh is the number of high-level visits by political wish to free themselves from,” said the prime minister, that he is liberally corrupt,” he said. leaders from both countries in recent years. For the second stating that all his opponents appear disjointed in their time, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is travelling thoughts and aims. He asked all parties who had gathered in Islamabad to to Saudi Arabia to attend the Future Investment Summit tell people what their real motive is. “Tell people why you to be held in Riyadh on October 29-31. The frequency “If you ask PPP, they will talk about inflation; if you talk have really gathered,” he dared the opposition. of such visits clearly manifests the strategic importance to PML-N they won’t know why they are there. JUI-F will accorded by both countries to one another. It is expected, decry a ‘Jewish conspiracy’ [to undermine Pakistan].” He said the real reason is during Modi’s visit, that both sides will sign energy deals, that their corruption cases including the promise of Saudi participation in India’s stra- “When Maulana Fazlur Rehman is there [in Islamabad] are “laid bare for everyone to tegic petroleum reserve.

People still remember what the PPP and PML- N as well as technological assistance. Likewise, New Delhi looks for Saudi investments in India’s petrochemicals, infrastructure, and mining sectors alongside cooperation in economic and security matters.

That transformation was brought about by strong political will in both India and Saudi Arabia to take relations to new heights. The current scenario is unlike the Cold War period when India-Saudi Arabia ties were mainly determined by the Pakistani factor. For decades, this prevented both New Delhi and Riyadh from discovering the strategic importance of engaging one another. But, over a period, they have begun to disentangle themselves from certain inhibitions of the past. Lately, there have been indications that Saudi Arabia is less interested in meddling in India’s internal affairs. This could be a reason why the Saudi government, during National Security Advisor
