Pak Ex Minister Flags Indian Spy Threat in Gulf
Ex-Pakistan Minister Warns of Espionage Threat in Middle East, Urges Gulf States to Act
ISLAMABAD – Former Pakistani Information Minister Muhammad Ali Durrani has raised concerns over a growing espionage network in the Middle East, urging Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations to expel individuals he considers a security threat.
In an exclusive interview with Durrani claimed that a network of spies, allegedly involving Indian nationals, is being established across the region. He said the structure mirrors intelligence operations previously set up in Iran, where he alleges Israel relied on Indians to build spying infrastructure.
Durrani further speculated about possible Indian involvement in a recent attack on Qatar, calling for investigations to determine if Indian agents played a role. He described the presence of Indian nationals in Middle Eastern countries as a “strategic threat” to regional security.
Commenting on the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia strategic pact, Durrani suggested that it should encourage other countries in the Gulf to adopt similar security measures.
He also addressed recent hostilities in the region, claiming that drones reportedly involved in the “Marka-e-Haq” incident, allegedly from India, were in fact operated by Israel.
Highlighting Pakistan’s military expertise, Durrani proposed that retired Pakistani personnel be offered to Muslim countries to form a specialized force, noting that their training and experience make them well-suited for such roles.
