Allama Hisham Elahi Zaheer has said many Pakistani youths are ready to defend Saudi Arabia if their support is needed.
He made the statement on Saturday through a social media post.
Hisham Elahi said Pakistani youth would be prepared to stand on the front lines.
He said they would protect the sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques when required.
The statement reflects Hisham Elahi’s personal position.
It does not represent the official position of Pakistan’s federal government.
It also does not represent the views of the Armed Forces of Pakistan.
His comments come amid recent tensions involving Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Ansar Allah.
The group is also commonly known as the Houthis.
The latest tensions have increased attention on regional security and the protection of holy sites.
Pakistan has also expressed support for the security of the Two Holy Mosques.
Prime Minister’s Coordinator for Religious Harmony Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi recently addressed the issue.
Ashrafi said Pakistan fully supports Saudi Arabia and the security of the holy sites.
He described the protection of the Two Holy Mosques as a red line.
He said Pakistan’s government, armed forces, religious scholars and people stand with Saudi Arabia.
Ashrafi also referred to the Houthis as terrorists.
He rejected attempts to describe the current confrontation as a Sunni-Shia conflict.
The comments come as Pakistan continues to maintain close relations with Saudi Arabia.
Both countries have longstanding political, religious and security ties.
Pakistan has also made a formal commitment concerning Saudi security.
The commitment was made under the new Mecca Joint Defense Agreement.
The agreement includes Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has repeatedly discussed Pakistan’s position on the defense arrangement.
He has said members of the agreement would act according to their commitments.
The agreement has added another dimension to Pakistan’s security relationship with Saudi Arabia.
However, Hisham Elahi’s statement remains a personal expression of support.
It should not be considered an announcement of any government military deployment.
Pakistan’s official position is communicated through government institutions and authorized officials.
The security of the Two Holy Mosques remains a sensitive issue for Pakistan.
The country has historically maintained close ties with Saudi Arabia.
Pakistani religious and political figures have frequently expressed support for the kingdom.
Recent regional developments have brought renewed attention to these relations.
The situation involving Yemen’s Houthis and Saudi Arabia continues to influence regional security discussions.
Pakistan’s government has emphasized its support for the protection of the holy sites.
At the same time, official commitments remain subject to government policy and existing agreements.
Hisham Elahi’s remarks highlight the strong public sentiment surrounding the security of the Two Holy Mosques.
His statement also reflects the importance many Pakistanis attach to their relationship with Saudi Arabia.
