Jammu and Kashmir's Development Package: A Greater Commitment than IMF Bailout for Pakistan

New Delhi: At an election rally in Gurez, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took a firm stance against Pakistan for its ongoing support of cross-border terrorism despite its pressing financial woes. Singh declared that India's special development package for Jammu and Kashmir exceeds the IMF's bailout for Pakistan, which recently received $7 billion after extensive negotiations. He criticized Pakistan for misappropriating international financial aid to fund terror activities and stated, “Our government has allocated significantly more for Jammu and Kashmir than what Pakistan was requesting from the IMF.”

Singh emphasized that the funds directed toward J&K are aimed at development and enhancing the quality of life for its residents, contrasting it with Pakistan's alleged operation of a terror network financed by foreign aid.

The minister's remarks highlighted the sharp difference in priorities between the two nations, underlining India's commitment to peace and development against Pakistan's historical misuse of aid for terrorist purposes.
