MUMBAI (The Thursday Times) — US Wazir-e-Kharja Marco Rubio ne kaha hai ke Pakistan "aisa mulk hai jis ke saath hamein taalluq rakhna zaroori hai," aur is ke liye unhon ne Pakistan ke atomi hathiyaron aur jughrafiya ka hawala diya. Yeh baat Mangal ko Mumbai mein diye gaye television interview ki State Department ki tehreeri naql mein samne aayi hai.
Rubio ne yeh bayan India ke daure ke dauran is sawal ke jawab mein diya ke kya Pakistan ko di jane wali US security aid mein kami par un ka pehle ka mauqif badal gaya hai. Jawab mein unhon ne bataya ke Washington ke liye Islamabad ke saath rabte mein rehna kyun zaroori hai.
Rubio ne kaha ke Pakistan aisa mulk hai jis ke paas atomi hathiyar hain aur jughrafiyai lihaz se United States ke liye zaroori hai ke woh is se rabta rakh sake. Unhon ne is taalluq ka mawazna India ke Iran ke saath apne taalluqat se kiya, aur kaha ke New Delhi bhi Tehran ke saath taalluqat rakhta hai aur us ki qiyadat se mulaqat karta hai.
Unhon ne tasleem kiya ke aise taalluqat mein tawazun qaim rakhna mushkil hota hai, lekin kaha ke yeh US ki khariji policy ka hissa hain. Unhon ne mazeed kaha ke rabte se Washington is qabil ho sakta hai ke woh un cheezon ki hausla shikni mein madad kare jin ke bare mein India fikrmand hai. "Hum har us shakhs ke khilaf hain jo dehshatgardi ki sarparasti karta hai," Rubio ne kaha.
Aisa daura jo daar-ul-hukumat ko chhor deta hai
Rubio ke India daure ke program mein Mumbai aur Jamnagar shamil hain lekin New Delhi nahin. The Wire ne report kiya ke yeh pehli baar hai ke kisi US wazir-e-kharja ne India ka aisa daura tai kiya hai jis mein daar-ul-hukumat mein koi mulaqat shamil nahin. Wazir-e-Azam Narendra Modi se mulaqat ka koi elan nahin kiya gaya.
Pakistan ka barhta hua sifarati wazan
Yeh bayanat aise waqt aaye hain jab Pakistan Iran se mutaalliq jang ke gird sifaratkari mein markazi kirdar ada kar raha hai. Pakistan ne April mein Iran aur United States ke darmiyan muzakrat mein salis ka kirdar ada kiya, aur Mangal ko Field Marshal Asim Munir ne, Wazir-e-Dakhla Mohsin Naqvi ke hamrah, Tehran mein Sadr Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament ke speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf aur Supreme National Security Council ke secretary Mohsen Rezaei se mulaqat ki, PTI ne Irani sarkari media ke hawale se report kiya.
May mein Rubio ne kaha ke India ne Iran ke tanaze mein Pakistan ke salis ke kirdar par koi aitraz nahin uthaya, The Wire ne report kiya.
Islamabad ne apni amni shirakatdari ka daira bhi wasee kiya hai. August mein Pakistan, Saudi Arabia aur Türkiye ne Makkah Joint Defence Agreement par dastkhat kiye, aur Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar aur Indonesia ke Budh ko Doha mein difai sanat mein taawun ke mutaalliq yaddasht-e-tafahum par dastkhat karne ki tawaqqo hai, Anadolu Agency ne report kiya.
Rubio pehle bhi Washington ke Islamabad se rabte ko aik mauqa qarar de chuke hain. October 2025 mein unhon ne kaha tha ke United States Pakistan ke saath apne hikmat-e-amli ke taalluqat ko wusat dene ka mauqa dekhta hai, aur yeh India ke saath us ke taalluqat ki qeemat par nahin aata.
