India has asked the International Monetary Fund to reconsider its financial assistance to Pakistan. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said that a large portion of the funds will be directed toward supporting terror-related infrastructure within Pakistan. Addressing the Air Warriors at Air Force Station Bhuj this afternoon, he said, in today’s times, any form of economic assistance to Pakistan is no less than terror financing. Singh commended the Indian Air Force for its swift and decisive action during Operation Sindoor, stating that it made all Indians proud, both at home and abroad. Singh said that it took just 23 minutes for the Air Force to dismantle terrorist infrastructure being harboured in Pakistan. He emphasised that the operation sent a strong message against terrorism and showcased India’s military strength and preparedness. The Defence Minister said that in Operation Sindoor, the armed forces not only dominated the enemy but also succeeded in decimating them. He added that the effective role played by the Indian military during Operation Sindoor is being appreciated not only in India but also abroad.
