Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday, May 16, asserted that Pakistan was trying to rebuild the dismantled terrorist network destroyed by India during Operation Sindoor and urged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to rethink its latest bailout package to the country.
Speaking at Bhuj airbase, where he praised the “air warriors” for Operation Sindoor, Singh underscored that a significant portion of the IMF loan would “certainly” be used to fund terror infrastructure.
The Air Force base was one of the military sites targeted by Pakistan during the hostilities between the two nations.
“The Pakistan government has also announced financial assistance to rebuild the terror infrastructure of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) located in Muridke and Bahawalpur. A significant portion of the one billion dollars coming from the IMF will certainly be used to fund this terror infrastructure. Would this not be considered indirect funding by the IMF?” Singh said.
