IF parliament decides to send Pakistani troops to Saudi Arabia, I have a question or two to ask the powers-that-be, including the military high command.

a. What shall be the exact role of Pakistani troops or the nature of their operations there? Defensive, offensive or Both? b. Under whose command the Pakistani troops would be placed there? The Saudi high command (SHC)? The Pakistan forces commander (PFC)? The supreme commander of the joint operational command (SCJOP)? -If under the SHC, would the Pakistani forces, if ordered, cross the international borders between Saudi Arabia and Yemen? -If under the SCJOP, would it nottantamount to Pakistan being an ally and an equal partner of the Saudi Arabia in a war against another sovereign state, Yemen?
