Pakistan never miss-utilised US funds for strengthening its defences against India: Pervez Musharraf.
Safe exit WASHINGTON: Former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday denied saying that while he was in power, he allowed using US military aid to Pakistan to strengthen its defences against India.

In a statement issued in Philadelphia, Mr Musharraf said the issue highlighted by some Indian leaders and media was not even raised in the interview. The former president is currently in the United States on a lecture tour.

The Indian media reported on Monday that in an interview to a Pakistani television channel, Mr Musharraf acknowledged using US military aid meant to fight the extremists to strengthen Pakistans defences against India.
No question was asked regarding US funds for fighting the militants in this interview or at any other time, he said. I have never said Pakistan violated any agreement.

Pakistan, he said, never violated any agreement or miss-utilised US funds for strengthening its defences against India.
As far as the equipment issued to a military unit is concerned, the equipment moves wherever the unit is deployed, he said. The US at the time was aware of what we were doing.

Indian Media's BS continues. NDTV, after falsely claiming Mushraf's admission re the misuse of the US aid, continues to spread the Indian lies. Indian media plays the role of the right arm of the indian government, unlike Pakistan's media. Note that the US team was going to come to Pakistan regardless of the lies being spread by the Indians, simply because of the high dollar figures involved. However, the NDTV tries to link the visit of the US team to mispresented current situation that is has painted.

Diversion of funds: US sends team to Pakistan


Amidst former President Pervez Musharraf's revelation that Pakistan used US military aid to strengthen its defences against India, a top American military official on Tuesday said a team was recently sent to Islamabad to review the reimbursement system under Coalition Support Funds.

In a written reply to Senate Armed Services Committee, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of the Staff Admiral Mike Mullen said the team was sent to review the Coalition Support Funds, which provides reimbursement to Pakistan for expense incurred while conducting operations against war on terrorism.

However, there was no reference if it had any links with Musharraf's recent claim that US military aid to Pakistan for the war against terrorism was used during his tenure to strengthen defences against India.

"We recently sent a team to Pakistan to review, with the Pakistan military, the CSF documentation and other requirements in order to improve accountability and timeliness of payments," Mullen said. However, he did not say what was the result of the finding or if the team has returned.

Coalition Support Funds, he said, are a key element toward meeting US objectives in the Afghan-Pakistan strategy.

"We continue to work with the Pakistan military to improve CSF processes, and ensure appropriate accountability and transparency for CSF," the Admiral said.

Mullen argued that the US should continue to support the Government of Pakistan to expand their capabilities and help them confront and defeat militant extremism wherever it may be in Pakistan.

"We must continue to work with Pakistan to approach the Taliban as a regional threat to both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Taliban groups throughout the region derive their operational guidance from commanders at the local and tribal level," he said.

Responding to a question, he said, the US approach to defeating Al-Qaida must be one that builds trust with Afghans and Pakistanis while applying all instruments of power.

The United States requires diverse instruments to deny sanctuary to Al-Qaida and the Taliban now, and to generate a stable and secure Afghanistan capable of denying Al-Qaida return after the withdrawal of combat forces, and while it sustains partnership
and commitment to political and economic development in that nation, he said.

Mullen said defeating the Pakistan Taliban is an important component of the President's regional strategy.

Defeating the Pakistan Taliban will prevent Al-Qaida from collaborating with other extremist allies in the region and is necessary to ensure a stable, democratic Government of Pakistan (GoP), he said.

"Our role in defeating the Pakistan Taliban includes supporting the Government of Pakistan through diplomatic and military means," he said.

US slams Pakistan over diverting aid

The US State Department has reacted strongly to the revelation made by former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf that US military aid given to Pakistan during his tenure was used to strengthen defences against India.

"I'll just say as a general principle we take very seriously any allegation of using US-origin military assistance for purposes other than we had already agreed to and that we had intended them for," said State Department spokesperson Ian Kelly.

This is the first time that Pakistan has admitted to diverting US aid given to fight the Taliban to strengthen its defenses against India. This is something that New Delhi has long suspected but had no proof of.

Musharraf's admission comes at a time when the Obama administration is asking Congress to approve $7.5 billion in aid to Pakistan over the next five years. As Congress debates the terms of aid to Pakistan next month, the former president's admission will only strengthen those voices that believe that US aid to Pakistan should be strictly monitored.

Sher Khan Bhai,
India to waise bhi Pakistan ka dushman hai, uska media 'false/fake' propaganda to karega hi. Indian media has been severely criticized everywhere over it's quality/authenticity of reporting.
But hamare media ko bhi dekho (Aaj, Geo, Dawn news), last 2 din ke news/programmes mein yehi discussion hai (especially bolta pakistan) and our media has firmly believed that Musharraf has said so.
Musharraf has deliberately given this ambiguous statement to have some political gains. The timing is so bad to affect the nation during 'Friends of democratic Pakistan' meeting.
