F-16 Fighter jet
America-Pakistan: US President Joe Biden has reversed the decision of former President Donald Trump. Under the new decision, he has approved to give $ 450 million to Pakistan for the maintenance of the F-16 fighter jet. According to media reports, this money is being given to Pakistan now and later to curb terrorism. The US believes that the F-16 aircraft is an anti-terrorist. Importantly, this is the biggest security aid being given to Islamabad in the last four years.
Trump refused to give two billion dollars to Pakistan
In 2018, Donald Trump banned the $2 billion financial aid to Pakistan. He had taken this step saying that Pakistan is failing in cracking down on terrorist organizations Taliban and Haqqani Network. Now Joe Biden has turned it around. The US State Department gave this information to the US Parliament. It said that Islamabad will be of great help in dealing with the threats related to terrorism in the present and also in the future.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the proposed notification to Congress states that there is information about foreign military sales. This will allow the continuation of the F.16 program of the Pakistan Air Force. It is an important counter-terrorist ally.
Pakistan’s old habit of misusing international aid
In the midst of the recent floods in Pakistan, he has received financial help internationally. But Pakistan does not shy away from misusing the help of money in the name of floods. Similarly, if this help is given from America to stop terrorism, then it is very likely that with the help of this money, it can definitely do the work of promoting cross-border terrorism, not stopping terrorism. At the same time, how the money given for the maintenance of F-16 aircraft will stop terrorism, it is beyond comprehension.
Military capability will increase, India will have to register protest
In this matter, G Parthasarathy, former Ambassador of India to Pakistan and defense expert, says that it is a matter of concern for India to give such a huge military aid to Pakistan from the US. It is clear from this that Pakistan will increase its military strength through this because advanced radar systems and missile capabilities are already present in the F-16 aircraft. He said that America is trying to make Pakistan as powerful as India with this move. Parthasarathy believes that after this decision of America, a clear signal should be sent to it and India should register its objection. This can be done not only at the political level but also by taking action.
