Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Munshi stated announced
that the Indian and Saudi Governments
are signing a bilateral agreement on
investment and protection. The Saudi
Arabian King Abdullah will be the
Chief Guest at the India Republic Day
Parade this year. India has many
contentious issues with Saudi Arabia
including the sanctuary that country
provides to terrorists who operate in
India. The recent terrorist incident
at the Indian Institute of Science was
conceptualized and financed by a Saudi
citizen. Rich old Saudi men also visit
India to "marry" poor Indian Muslim
girls only to abandon them shortly
after their marriage. Some have even
been arrested for trafficking under
age girls and boys for work as sex
slaves or for camel racing. A sizeable
Indian expatriate community lives in
and every year large Haj pilgrims
visit Saudi Arabia.
