India skips IMF bailout vote for Pakistan, cites terror links…….
Government sources confirmed that New Delhi chose not to
support the funding, citing Pakistan’s "failure to curb terror groups
operating from its soil." India has long accused its neighbor of harboring
militants, including those behind attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
"India cannot endorse financial assistance to a country
that perpetuates terrorism," a senior official stated. The abstention
signals New Delhi’s firm stance, even as Islamabad negotiates with the IMF to avert
an economic crisis.
Pakistan, facing soaring inflation and dwindling forex
reserves, urgently needs IMF approval for the next loan tranche. However,
India’s move highlights geopolitical tensions overshadowing economic relief
efforts.
Analysts say the abstention reinforces India’s diplomatic
pressure on Pakistan to act against terror outfits. Meanwhile, the IMF is
expected to proceed with the bailout despite India’s position, as major Western
nations back the package.
The development underscores the deepening divide between the nuclear-armed rivals, with economic diplomacy colliding with long-standing security grievances.
