No Saudi interference, please

Letter March 09, 2011
It’s about time that we tell our ‘brotherly’ Islamic country to leave us alone.

KARACHI: According to several news reports, one gets the impression that Saudi Arabia might be about to play a mediatory role in the Raymond Davis matter and that the objective is to get the American back to his country. It is no open secret that, in the past, Saudi Arabia had interfered when Nawaz Sharif’s government was overthrown by General Pervez Musharraf. It’s about time that we tell our ‘brotherly’ Islamic country to leave us alone on this matter and let the judiciary decide Davis’s fate.
