the parliament is divided over the issue as the opposition is involved. nicole johnson reports. >>> for over a week the government stuck to the line that any threat to saudi arabia's territorial integrity will provoke a harsh response from pakistan. now parliament is debating who kind of stops, and will it send soldiers to saudi arabia or yemen. >> the saudi leadership expressed undeserved support for saudi arabia integrity and expressed the hope that pakistan would join the coalition. by contributing aircraft, by contributing aircraft, naval vessels and ground troops. >> the political parties are decided over what to do. the opposition is against getting involved. >> we are one of the biggest islamic countries and we are a nuclear state. our leadership tried to be neutral and we should act as a neutral. >> the parliamentary debate ended without decision, or the level of what pakistan's involvement should be. many say that pakistan should defend saudi arabia, but if it isn't, islamabad should act as a mediator to end the conflict. saudi arabia and pakista
