Pakistan wants Indian aid for flood victims via UN
 (PTI) Pakistan has refused to accept directly the Indian aid of five million dollars for its desperate flood victims and instead suggested that it be routed through the UN.If I was Manmohan Singh I'd used the money to buy beer. Pakistan has conveyed this to India which is expected to agree to this procedure, sources said here today. Can't have any Hindoo cooties on the boodle. They might infect the rest of the money the pols are raking off. The sources made it clear that India has no problem in routing the relief material through the UN. "It is a humanitarian crisis (being faced by Pakistan) and India has offered the aid as a goodwill gesture. The modalities of providing the assistance do not matter," a source said. Apparently they do, since the Paks have decided to be so choosy. Give some serious thought to the beer option. On when the relief material would be sent, the sources said such aspects would be worked out when an idea is received from Pakistan as to what material they want. "The broader objective is to provide humanitarian assistance in the hour of need to Pakistan," the source said. Posted by: Fred 2010-08-29 |
