Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Thursday that Muslim countries must avoid taking their ‘ideologies and revolutions’ to other countries and learn from Pakistan’s past mistakes.

Speaking to media representatives, he said that the Muslim countries should not engage in proxy wars in other countries.

“These countries should learn from Pakistan which is at a loss for indulging in these activities in the past,” he said.

The statement comes against the backdrop of Saudi Arabia’s request for military assistance, including ground troops, fighter jets and navy vessels to join the coalition forces in the Yemen operation.

Pakistan has been trying to play the role of a mediator in the Yemen conflict, viewed as a regional power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Last week, Pakistan’s parliament voted for the country to stay neutral in the Yemen conflict, urging the government not send Pakistani troops to join Saudi-led coalition forces fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The unanimous resolution, passed on April 10 after a week debate during a joint parliamentary session, also vowed that Pakistan would come to Saudi Arabia’s defence if the country’s sovereignty or territorial integrity is threatened.
