The Indian National Congress has expressed deep concerns regarding a newly signed strategic mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, deeming it a significant threat to India’s national security. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign diplomacy, citing this agreement as a setback, especially following recent geopolitical tensions and military collaborations involving Pakistan. The mutual defense agreement stipulates that any aggression against either nation will be perceived as an attack on both, aimed at enhancing their security and fostering regional stability. In response, India’s Ministry of External Affairs announced it will assess the implications of this pact for national and regional security dynamics, underscoring a need for vigilance amidst evolving geopolitical alliances.
