New Delhi [
India
], May 10 (ANI):
Congress MP
Manish Tewari
criticized the International Monetary Fund for approving a $1 billion loan
Pakistan
, describing it as “highly regrettable,” and stated that the “empathy” towards the
IMF
towards
Pakistan
is clearly “unwarranted.”

“It is terribly regrettable because the funds that go to
Pakistan
is not aimed at fostering the growth of the community members
Pakistan
This contributes to bolstering these terrorist organizations, which subsequently employ them to cause chaos across the whole area. Thus, the IMF’s ‘sympathies’ toward
Pakistan
“is completely unjustified since they are intentionally turning a blind eye to how that funds are being utilized,” Tewari said to ANI on Saturday.

Tewari further said that
Pakistan
His intentions are undoubtedly provocative, and if
Pakistan
If it continues on this course, it must recognize that there will be consequences to face.

“What
India
The incident that occurred during the night between May 6th and 7th, 2025, was strictly an act of self-defense in accordance with public international law.
Pakistan
What has been happening since then is an overt act of aggression, which means there is a distinct difference between what
India
did and how
Pakistan
has replied. Consequently, if
Pakistan
Continuing along this route, as I previously mentioned, would inevitably come with a price tag attached, and thus
India
“The Armed Forces are imposing those costs,” he added.

Manish Tewari
said that
Pakistan
has to understand that it cannot use terror as a “state policy” and if they do so they will have to “pay price.”


India
exercised its right to self-defence in consonance with the United Nations Charter Article 51, which gives every country the right to protect itself from egregious transgressions, which have been happening in the case of
Pakistan
from across the border in the form of terror. Now, going back many years,
Pakistan
has chosen to respond to
India
‘s inherent right to self-defence in a manner which is escalatory and therefore,
Pakistan
must realize that it cannot employ terrorism as a national strategy, and if it continues to forcefully take over towns, as it has been trying to do, it will face consequences,” Tewari stated.

On Friday,
IMF
approved the initial review of
Pakistan
‘Economic reform program under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) has paved the way for a disbursement of roughly USD 1 billion.’

India
However, they strongly resisted allocating resources to a nation that persists in supporting cross-border terrorism, cautioning that this kind of backing poses significant reputation risks for worldwide organizations and erodes international standards.

On a tweet from X, the
IMF
said, ”
IMF
The board sanctioned the initial assessment.
Pakistan
‘s economic reform program under the EFF, enabling a disbursement of ~ USD 1 billion, reflecting strong programme implementation which has contributed to continuing economic recovery.”

India
abstained from the recent
IMF
cast your ballot for sanctioning a loan proposal
Pakistan
, not because there was insufficient resistance, but because
IMF
The rules do not allow for an official “no” vote, according to additional sources.

In the meantime, reports emerged of intense artillery bombardments and border exchanges of fire occurring in multiple locations along the frontier.
