Subject: Suspension of Security Aid to Pakistan
Ministry: EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
Asked by: BALASUBRAMANIAM SENGUTTUVAN

## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.2420

## TO BE ANSWERED ON 01.08.2018

## SUSPENSION OF SECURITY AID TO PAKISTAN

## 2420. SHRI B. SENGUTTUVAN:

Will the Minister of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

whether it was the Government's aggressive pursuit of foreign policy that the US has suspended security aid to Pakistan pending its concrete and decisive action against the Afghan Taliban and Haqqani network and if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS [GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD)]

In his remarks during the release of the U.S. Administration's Strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia on 21 August 2017 as well as in his tweet on 1 January 2018, U.S. President Trump has publicly drawn attention to Pakistan's duplicity   in   receiving   large   assistance   from   the   U.S.   while   continuing   to harbour terrorists that the U.S. is fighting.

On 04 January 2018, the U.S. Government announced suspension of all security assistance to Pakistan unless required by a U.S. law or exempted on a   case-by-case   basis   on   the   basis   of   national   security   interests.   The suspension   covers   delivery   of   military   equipment   and   release   of reimbursement from Coalition Support Fund to Pakistan for U.S. FY 2016 onwards, and in some cases for previous years as well. According to the U.S. Government, the suspension will be in place until the Pakistan Government takes decisive action against groups, including the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network, that the U.S. considers destabilizing.

India has consistently conveyed its concerns and sensitivities to the U.S. Government regarding U.S. security assistance to Pakistan. India and the U.S. share similar concerns over the threat posed by terrorism and extremism to peace and security in the region. The Joint Statement issued during the visit of the Prime Minister to the United States in June 2017, inter alia, calls on Pakistan 'to ensure that its territory is not used to launch terrorist attacks on other countries.'
