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.

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

“The Armed Forces are imposing those costs,” he added.
Manish Tewari
said that

”
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.

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

The rules do not allow for an official “no” vote, according to additional sources.
