Will Pakistan Boycott It For “Dividing the Ummah”?
The Pakistani nation suffered much humiliation in December when its Prime Minister Imran Khan ditched in the eleventh hour a summit in Kuala Lampur to discuss Muslim issues after being summoned by Saudi Arabia and told to skip the meeting. Saudis said the Jeddah-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation should be the only platform to discuss problems afflicting the Muslim world, and the Kuala Lampur summit, which included Saudi rivals Iran, Turkey, and Qatar, was sabotaging Islamic solidarity and would split the ummah, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmoud Qureshi.
Now that the Saudis are deepening rifts in the ummah by refusing to issue visas to the Irani delegation planning to attend the February 4 emergency OIC meeting on Palestine, will Pakistan boycott OIC like it did Kuala Lampur? Of course not, because the Pakistani government does not make decisions on principles but rather under pressure from America and its Arab puppets like Saudi Arabia. Khan is in Malaysia now in a face-saving trip that is too little too late.
The absence of Iran from the OIC meeting is a blow for the Palestinian cause, and it should concern Pakistan as the OIC response to Palestine will be a precursor to how it handles the Kashmir crisis.
