India called on Friday (May 16, 2025) to reconsider its $1 billion aid to Pakistan, suggesting that Islamabad could use it for terrorist funding.
Addressing to military personnel in Bougai, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said India does not want the funds it provides to the International Monetary Fund to be used directly or indirectly to establish terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan or any other country.

“I believe that in today’s era, any form of financial aid to Pakistan is nothing more than terrorist funds.”
“India hopes the IMF will reconsider the $1 billion aid to Pakistan and avoid any future assistance,” he said.
Mr Singh said that the Indian armed forces not only dominated the enemy in Operation Singhor, but also successfully destroyed the enemy.
He said he praised the Indian Air Force for its effective conflicts in terrorist operations.
“Our Air Force has touched new heights with its valor, courage and glory.”
Mr Singh arrived at the Bouke Air Force Station this morning to review the overall security situation.
The air base here is one of Pakistan’s military infrastructure in a four-day confrontation between the two armies.
