India To Oppose World Bank Funding For Pakistan
India will also oppose the upcoming World Bank funding for Pakistan. The move comes in the backdrop of the recently heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Earlier, India called on IMF to reconsider its $1-billion assistance to Pakistan, suggesting that Islamabad could use it for terror funding.
The bailout was approved at a time when India and Pakistan was engaged in cross-border firing, a day before the two South-Asian neighbours announced ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) justified that its executive board granted USD one billion in assistance to Pakistan earlier this month after they met all conditions and targets for it despite India's apprehensions that the funds could be used for cross-border terrorism.
The IMF carried out a review of its extended fund facility (EFF) granted to Pakistan in September last year and based on it, the board approved the amount on May 9, said Julie Kozack, a director at global body's communications department.
