Ya right, Mr S M Krishna... They will attack our cities, they will keep infiltrating into our borders, they will snub us, they will use US aid for fighting terror against our country and We, as the ever gracious country, are offering them Rs 23 crore for flood relief aid.
Isn't this stretching things a bit too far? I am not saying we shouldn't help the Pakistanis affected by flood. But why give the Pak establishment money to be used for 'flood relief' when there has been a history of the country apparently using up aid money to fund extremists and build up arsenal to be used against India? Has the Indian government completely lost it?
The most simplest way of providing relief aid to Pakistan at this juncture would be to collect, source and provide them with the necessary materials, rather than money as aid. If not the whole country, millions of Indians would come forward to donate whatever they can in terms of clothes, medicines and stuff to the Pakistanis. Wouldn't that be a collective effort of the whole of India to show solidarity with those affected in our neighbouring country, building up a sense of goodwill? Time to think, I guess...
