Do you support Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's call to the IMF to reconsider Pakistan's $1-billion aid as a way to apply economic pressure?

On May 16, 2025, India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh urged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to review its $1-billion assistance to Pakistan, citing concerns over Pakistan's alleged support for cross-border terrorism and instability in the region. This bold diplomatic move aims to increase global accountability and pressurize Pakistan economically. Many Indians believe this is a necessary step to ensure national security and international justice.
 
Others, however, feel that using economic aid as leverage might have broader humanitarian implications for the people of Pakistan. What do you think?
