It is only RECENTLY that #UAE is taking initiatives in promoting #Secularism
UAE allowed a #Pope to set his foot on the Arabian Peninsula in 2019. First pope to do so in the entire history of Arabs!
Even Non-Muslims are allowed to pray in UAE but only recently

But we don& #39;t want to blind ourselves in the name of Secularism. When clearly our western neighborhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇵🇰" title="Flag of Pakistan" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Pakistan"> is exploiting it for Anti-India Agenda

Your fight against these Radical forces can very well be understood in India. Which is fighting against a neighbor which is promoting Teππor for so long now.

Since 2000s when our Economy started improving, Emirates also started taking India& #39;s interests seriously.
We have always been sympathetic towards #Palestinians, but what we got in return?
Arab countries never stood with us for our National Integrity, For our #Kashmir
