Pakistan’s Upper House last week made up its mind about what lies behind the Saudi-led Islamic Military Alliance (IMA) and asked the government to recall its commander-in-chief, former Pakistan Army chief Raheel Sharif, in response to burgeoning anti-Iranian sentiment.
“The king of Saudi Arabia has said the alliance is against Iran,” Senate Chairperson Raza Rabbani said in the chamber on Thursday. “Has the government disowned Raheel Sharif?.” Rabbani demanded that the Terms of Reference (TORs) of the military alliance be presented before the Senate for scrutiny.
Earlier, Senator Farhatullah Babar, of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), said it was becoming “apparent” that the alliance had combative designs against Iran and asked the government to recall the retired general.
