Pakistan in Media

NEW YORK: While the Pakistani media and many politicians are going ballistic about how the Kerry- Lugar bill impairs Pakistan’s sovereignty do they have any idea how angry the Indians are?

According to Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna “New Delhi was concerned as former Pakistan president Parvez Musharraf had himself disclosed that his country had diverted some aid—which the US gives the South Asian nation as funding for the war on terror—to bolster defences against India.”

According to a former Indian intelligence chief, “Despite India’s constant protests regarding the misuse of American aid by Pakistan, US President Barack Obama recently urged “sustained and expanded” support for Pakistan at an international meeting. The objective ostensibly was to “strengthen” Pakistan to defeat terrorism.” Mr Obama said, “The violent extremists within Pakistan pose a threat to the region, to the United States, and to the world. Above all, they threaten the security of the Pakistani people.” This, in spite of former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf’s candid admission that under his regime Pakistan had misused US military aid to arm itself against India.
