News India Live, Digital Desk: We all know that Pakistan is going through severe economic crisis these days. The situation is such that he has to scramble here and there to meet his expenses. But the news that has come recently has shocked everyone. To fill its empty pockets, Pakistan has now taken a step which has flouted international laws. It is reported that Pakistan has sealed an arms deal worth 4 billion dollars (about 33 thousand crore rupees) with a military force of Libya. Why is this deal so controversial? The biggest thing is that the country to which Pakistan is selling arms, comes under the ambit of the United Nations (UN) ‘Arms Embargo’ i.e. arms embargo. Civil war has been going on in Libya for years and the UN has not taken any kind of action to maintain peace there. There is a ban on selling weapons. But due to financial constraints, Pakistan kept these rules aside. Who is getting these weapons? According to media reports, Pakistan is not selling weapons to the Libyan government, but to the Libyan National Army (LNA) active in eastern Libya. This army is led by General Khalifa Haftar, who is considered an opponent of the current government there. It is being said that this deal was sealed when Pakistan’s Army Chief, Asim Munir, of Libya. Shahar went to Benghazi and met General Haftar’s son Saddam Haftar there. What is Pakistan selling? You must be wondering what is being sold for 4 billion dollars? The list is very long and dangerous. This deal includes JF-17 fighter jets and Super Mushshak training aircraft jointly manufactured by Pakistan and China.[ इसके अलावा जमीनी और समुद्री लड़ाई के साजो-सामान भी भेजे जाएंगे। यह डील अगले ढाई साल में पूरी की जाएगी।पाकिस्तान की मजबूरी और दुनिया की चिंतासीधी सी बात है, पाकिस्तान के लिए यह डील “मरता क्या न करता” जैसी है। उसकी अर्थव्यवस्था गर्त में है और उसे फॉरेन करेंसी की सख्त जरूरत है। 4 अरब डॉलर की यह रकम उसके लिए किसी संजीवनी से कम नहीं है। लेकिन दुनिया के लिए यह चिंता का विषय है। अगर ऐसे प्रतिबंधित क्षेत्रों में धड़ल्ले से हथियार बेचे जाएंगे, तो वहां चल रही हिंसा की आग और भड़क सकती है।अब देखना यह होगा कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र इस पर क्या एक्शन लेता है। क्या पाकिस्तान पर कोई नया दबाव बनाया जाएगा या फिर वह इस बार भी बच निकलेगा? यह वक्त ही बताएगा, लेकिन एक बात साफ है—पैसों की भूख अक्सर नियमों को निगल जाती है।
