What is the reason for the tension between Qatar and Bharat ?
Bharat is friendly with Qatar, however, certain incidents have been causing tension between the two. Israel is an enemy of Qatar but is friendly with Bharat. Qatar cannot tolerate this friendship. Similarly, India is friendly with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Qatar cannot tolerate this too, because Qatar supports Jihadi terrorists.
