Why is Pakistan entering an arms deal with the Burmese government?
Justice For All: Burma Task Force Campaign

Pakistani journalist, Faraz Talat writes quite poignantly in Pakistan Today, asking the same question we are: Why is Pakistan entering an arms deal with the Burmese government?
This Pakistan is beyond our recognition. This is a state that has invested great effort into establishing its role as a political defender of oppressed Muslim brethren. This has been the foundational doctrine of all of Pakistan’s military and diplomatic policies regarding Kashmir, as well as the primary reason why your Pakistani passport says that it is not valid for travel to Israel.
It is astonishing how rapidly the doctrine of solidarity with Muslim brethren is vaporized, when it comes to abetting the bane of the Muslim populations of Xinjiang and Rakhine for our own economic and military gains. By what marvel of mental gymnastics, do we settle the cognitive dissonance of rattling sabres in support of Kashmiri Muslims, while simultaneously pushing Musalmanan-e-Burma under the bus?
