US should monitor aid to Pakistan says Tharoor


NEW DELHI: A day after former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf's confession about US aid being diverted against India, minister of state for external affairs Shashi Tharoor Monday asked Washington to monitor its aid to Islamabad.
"We support countries helping Pakistan fighting against terrorism, but we do not expect the aid turned against us," Tharoor told reporters.
The US should monitor its aid to Pakistan, he said, adding that Musharraf's disclosure did not surprise India.
Musharraf's revelation confirms India's stand on misuse of US aid by Pakistan, he said.
He was reacting to a question on Musharraf's admission in an interview that Pakistan had used the aid provided by the US for the war against terror during his regime to strengthen defences against India...link
