Debating war and policy

NOTHING is better than a parliamentary joint session on the intense regional situation including the war with the Taliban regime.

The questions disturbing the nation are about how its leadership sees its role in the ongoing conflict in the Gulf and how long the Taliban regime will take to address Pakistan’s concerns about terrorism, despite Pakistan’s tough policy.

The country is walking on a tightrope in the context of balancing its relations between Iran and its close Arab allies, mainly Saudi Arabia.
