Aaj ke taja khabar yeh keh he Pakistan aur Saudi Arabia ne ek powerful defence pact sign kiya he, jisse poora South Asia me halchal mach gayi he. Jab Pakistan ke Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ne Riyadh me Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ko gale lagaya, toh us moment ne sab kuch keh diya. Yeh sirf ek handshake nahi tha, balki Islamic world ke sabse bade nuclear power aur Gulf ke sabse ambitious kingdom ke beech ek nayi military dosti ki shuruaat thi.

Saudi official ke mutabiq, yeh deal sirf unke purane cooperation ka ek formal step hai, lekin India me isse lekar alag soch hai. India ke experts keh rahe hain ke yeh ek direct threat hai, khaaskar jab dono nuclear-armed countries, India aur Pakistan, pehle hi Kashmir par kai baar ladaiyan lad chuke hain.

India Me Badhi Chinta: “Ek Dusre Par Attack Ka Matlab Dono Par Attack”

Sabse zyada chinta is baat ki hai ke pact me likha gaya hai, “Any aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both.” Iska matlab yeh hua ke agar koi Pakistan par attack karega, toh Saudi Arabia usse apne khilaf attack samjhega, aur vice versa.

Indian strategist Brahma Chellaney ne X par likha ke “Riyadh ne yeh jaante hue bhi pact sign kiya ke India ise ek security threat samjhega.” Unke mutabiq, yeh step Pakistan ki majbooti nahi balki Saudi Arabia ki ambitions ko dikhata hai.

Wo keh rahe hain ke Saudi Arabia Pakistan ko apne control me rakh kar manpower aur nuclear “insurance” dono le raha hai. Isse Saudi apni global positioning ko mazboot kar raha hai aur India, Washington jaise deshon ko ek clear message de raha hai ke wo apni policy independent rakhega.

Bharat Ke Purov Foreign Secretary Ne Kaha “Yeh Ek Dangerous Step Hai”

Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal ne ise “grave misstep” bataya. Unka kehna hai ke ek politically unstable aur economically weak Pakistan par trust karna ek risky move hai. “Yeh Saudi step India ke liye direct security threat ke roop me dekha jayega,” unhone X par likha.

Unka kehna tha ke “Given the tensions between Pakistan and India, this Saudi step is strategically most adventurous.”

Modi Sarkar Ka Reaction Thoda Controlled Raha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi ki government ne filhal thoda balanced reaction diya. Foreign ministry ke spokesperson ne kaha ke “India is studying the pact’s implications for national security and regional stability.” Unhone yeh bhi kaha ke India aur Saudi Arabia ke beech ka strategic partnership hamesha “mutual interests and sensitivities” ka dhyaan rakhta hai.

Analysts Ka Kehna Hai Ke India Ko Zyada Panic Karne Ki Zarurat Nahi

Kuch analysts keh rahe hain ke Delhi thoda overreact kar raha hai. Michael Kugelman, ek foreign policy expert, keh rahe hain ke yeh pact India ko direct threat nahi deta. Saudi Arabia ke India ke saath apne alag economic aur trade relations bhi hain.

Unka kehna hai ke Saudi Arabia India ke khilaf koi hostile act nahi karega, lekin haan, Pakistan ko security architecture me include karne se region ka balance badal sakta hai.

“Islamic NATO” Banane Ki Baat Uth Rahi Hai

Ahmed Aboudouh, Chatham House ke associate fellow, keh rahe hain ke yeh pact ek symbolic message hai. Yeh dikhata hai ke Saudi Arabia apni security partnerships diversify kar raha hai, bina US ke defence cooperation ko todhe.

Lekin unka kehna hai ke agar yeh alliance aage badhta gaya, toh ek “Islamic NATO” jaisa bloc ban sakta hai, jisse India ke “Look West” policy ke liye dikkat khadi ho sakti hai.

Pakistan Ka Fayda: Money + Military Power

Pakistan ke liye yeh deal ek blessing hai. Isse Saudi Arabia ka financial support milta rahega aur Pakistan apni military capabilities badha sakta hai. Saath hi, Saudi Arabia ka soft power bhi Islamabad ko global stage par backing dega.

Ab India ke samne challenge yeh hai ke usse sirf Pakistan hi nahi balki ek larger Muslim coalition ka samna karna pad sakta hai.

Pakistan-Saudi Dosti Purani Hai

Md. Muddassir Quamar, JNU ke researcher, keh rahe hain ke yeh koi nayi baat nahi hai. Saudi aur Pakistan ka defence cooperation 1960s se chala aa raha hai. Pakistani troops ne Saudi Air Force ke development me madad ki thi, aur Mecca mosque crisis (1979) me bhi Pakistan ke commandos ne Saudi forces ko support kiya tha.

2017 me bhi Saudi ne ek retired Pakistani army chief ko apne anti-ISIS coalition ka head banaya tha.

US Par Bharosa Kam Hone Ka Asar

Ek aur important baat yeh hai ke Gulf countries ka US par trust ab pehle jaisa nahi raha. Israel ke recent attack ne Qatar aur Saudi jaise deshon me insecurity badha di hai. Isliye Riyadh ab multiple defence partnerships banana chahta hai, taki future crisis me wo akela na pade.

Iran Aur Israel Ko Lekar Badh Raha Hai Tension

Analysts keh rahe hain ke Saudi Arabia ab Iran aur Israel dono ko potential threat samajhta hai. Pakistan ke nuclear power hone se usse deterrence milti hai. Yeh pact ek signal hai ke Saudi apni safety ke liye sirf West par depend nahi rehna chahta.

India Ka Strategic Risk

India ke liye problem yeh hai ke uska West Asia me strategic influence ab challenge me aa sakta hai. Agar Saudi, Pakistan aur Turkey milkar ek bloc banate hain, toh India ke trade aur investment corridor par effect pad sakta hai.

Ab India ko apni foreign policy re-evaluate karni padegi, aur apne ties Russia, Israel, aur France jaise deshon ke saath aur mazboot karne honge.

Conclusion:

Filhal, experts ka kehna hai ke yeh pact ek immediate military threat nahi hai, lekin diplomatically India ke liye ek bad optics create hua hai. Delhi ab Riyadh ke next steps ko closely observe karega.

Yeh pact South Asia aur Middle East ke relations ko ek nayi direction me le ja sakta hai. Ab dekhna yeh hai ke kya yeh partnership ek temporary move hai ya ek nayi geopolitical alliance ki shuruaat.
