Re: APDM strike call for Nawaz Sharif gets muted response
HZ the Saudi's have a very simple policy of not holding any diplomatic functions during ramzan. They do it before or afterwards. Thus the national day was held earlier.
I must say you lot have rather pathetic memories regarding our relations with Saudi Arabia. After all it was at NS's behest we got free oilf or 4 months after we detonated our nuclear weapons. They did it as a personal favour to him.
But under Musharraf's regime, the friendship has turned into simple serfdom. If you don't realise that, you can look at the different editorials in all Pakistani's news papers. The general view of the educated elite from, generals to the civil society is that now Musharraf is beholden to the Saudi's like a slave.
