Singing the songs of not promoting terrorism, America has once again decided to openly help Pakistan financially.
Singing the songs of not promoting terrorism, America has
once again decided to openly help Pakistan financially. This time America has
declared F-16 package to Pakistan ignoring India's protest. No one raised
objections during the US Senate's mandatory 30-day notice period, paving the
way for this beneficial deal for Pakistan.
On September 7, the State Department notified the US Parliament
on behalf of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Biden government
was committed to a defense deal with Pakistan under the Foreign Military Sales
Program. Regarding this, Senator Robert Mendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said in Parliament on September 13 that now the American
Parliament has 30 days, during which they can review this deal.
The fact is that the Biden administration reversed former
President Trump's decision not to provide security assistance to Pakistan. Not
only that, the US Parliament had 30 days to review the deal, during which none
of the 100 senators objected. With this, the US has paved the way for a package
of 450 million dollars to Pakistan.
Questions have also been raised against this decision of the
Government of India. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, during his visit to
America last month, said that no country has benefited from America's relations
with Pakistan. We oppose the $450 million package for F-16 aircraft. Meanwhile,
the Biden administration has argued that Pakistan's F-16 program is an
important part of our security agreement with Pakistan.
If Pakistan can maintain its fleet of F-16 aircraft, its
current and future ability to fight terrorism will be preserved.
On the other hand, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also
called American Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and expressed concern over
America's decision to help Pakistan. Singh gave this information on social
media on September 14. However, the US said that the fleet of F-16 aircraft
will help Pakistan fight terrorism and the US wants Pakistan to take strict
action against all terrorist organisations.
