Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan's Iran meeting has just been completed. There are also defense agreements. Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir was present on behalf of Pakistan in this meeting to restore peace in West Asia. However, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khaled bin Salman and Turkey's intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin were on behalf of the respective countries. On the other hand, Iran was represented by Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. But Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif sat in the country's parliament! He had to face the criticism of the opposition. Which reminded once again, Asim Munir is actually running the country!
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazal chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman is one of Pakistan's leading opposition leaders. He often criticizes various policies, actions etc. of the government. This time in the Pakistan Parliament, he said in this context, “A defense agreement is being made in Iran. But our defense minister is here.” Then he said, “Isn't there a bit of shame?” On hearing that, the opponents laughed in the room.
Military dominance in Pakistani politics is not new. Currently, the country is under unwritten military rule. Shahbaz Sharif worked here as Asim Munir's puppet government. Earlier too, Asim Munir was seen getting importance in foreign visits instead of foreign minister. This time also he was seen in such a very important meeting. Which again highlighted the supremacy of Pak army.
It should be noted that informed circles fear that the fire of war may flare up again in West Asia. Prior to that, this meeting is being given separate importance. It remains to be seen how the rest of the signatories to the deal help Iran if America and Israel strike again.
