Indian security establishment believes Pak using US funds for war on terror to bolster military might
Media Release
Jul. 24, 2010

US President Barack Obama had committed to Singh that security assistance to Pakistan would be monitored and kept under closer observation.

A source said the findings and concerns of India were shared with the US during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's US visit in April. This issue formed a substantial part of the conversation between the two sides.

Since the coordinated terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the US, Pakistan has received at least $18 billion (approximately Rs 90,000 crore) under various US assistance and allowance programmes. At least one assessment by the Indian security establishment says the Pakistan army may have diverted as much as $14 billion for weapons purchases meant for a military conflict with India.

Most of the payments allotted to it for global war on terrorism under major heads are not being utilized for what it is originally meant. We assess that most of it is being diverted to buying conventional weapons. And it could also be diverted to strategic weapon acquisitions.
