JAMMU: Sushil Singh Charak, Chief Functionary, Nations Development Association (NDA) and Former Secretary of the International Human Rights Organisation (IHRO) J&K, has strongly criticized the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for approving a $1 billion loan to Pakistan at a time of heightened border tensions between India and Pakistan.

In his statement, Charak expressed grave concern over the IMF's decision, stating that extending financial aid to a nation involved in cross-border terrorism and regional instability is both irresponsible and counterproductive to global peace efforts. He emphasized that such support not only empowers Pakistan to continue its hostile activities but also undermines the sacrifices made by security forces defending the nation's borders.

"Providing financial assistance to a state that sponsors terrorism against its neighbors is a blatant disregard for international peace and human rights. The IMF must reassess its policies and ensure that its financial support does not fuel conflict and insecurity," Charak stated.

Charak further urged international human rights bodies and global financial institutions to hold Pakistan accountable for its actions and to prioritize peace and stability in their decision-making processes. He also called on the Indian government to raise the issue with global forums to prevent financial aid from being misused to fund terror activities.
