Pakistan admits to targeting India’s Afghanistan aid

Pakistan has made a tacit admission that it was targeting India’s assistance to Afghanistan and that its air attacks during Ramadan were hurting mostly women and children.

Employing diplomatic finesse, India’s Permanent Representative in his address to the Security Council on Monday had not named Pakistan while criticising the air attacks on Afghanistan or cross-border terrorism.

But Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Asim Iftikhar Ahmad walked into his trap by



acknowledging the remarks were about his country.

He made an admission of the criticism directed against Islamabad over cross-border terrorism directed against India and of conducting air attacks on Afghanistan, killing mostly women and children.

He also made the damning admission of destroying India’s assistance to Afghanistan when he said that India was pained at seeing its heavy investments going to waste “as a result of Pakistan’s precise and effective action”.
