India again denounces US military aid to Pakistan
NEW DELHI - India has again denounced U.S. military aid to Pakistan which it says is being used by Islamabad against Indian interests, local media reported on Saturday. New Delhi has long accused Pakistans powerful military of aiding militant attacks on Indian soil, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, a charge Islamabad denies.This (aid) is being used against us, which is not a nice gesture on the part of (the) U.S. and we have raised this issue with them many times, Defence Minister A.K. Antony was quoted as saying by the Indo-Asian News Service. U.S. aid to Pakistan is viewed with concern in India and has been an irritant as Washington looks to upgrade strategic and economic ties with the emerging Asian power. Pakistan has received $20.7 billion worth of U.S. assistance over the past decade, about two-thirds of it military aid. Posted by: Steve White 2011-05-29 |
