Is the World Even Bothered... Says Omar Abdullah, Terror Hub Pakistan Gets $1 Billion IMF Aid

As missiles rain over Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, and Tangdhar, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has raised piercing questions about the global conscience. Taking to X, Abdullah slammed the international community's double standards, stating, "I'm not sure how the 'International Community' thinks the current tension in the subcontinent will be de-escalated when the IMF essentially reimburses Pakistan for all the ordnance it is using to devastate..."

I’m not sure how the “International Community” thinks the current tension in the subcontinent will be de-escalated when the IMF essentially reimburses Pakistan for all the ordnance it is using to devastate Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, Tangdhar & so many other places.

Is the World Even Bothered... Says Omar Abdullah, Terror Hub Pakistan Gets $1 Billion IMF Aid

The statement comes in the wake of reports confirming a $1 billion financial package approved by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Pakistan—ostensibly for economic stabilization. However, critics argue the timing is suspicious and fuels Pakistan’s aggressive posture against India, especially in conflict-ridden regions of Jammu & Kashmir.

Omar Abdullah’s tweet has reignited the debate

Strategic analysts have long accused Pakistan of diverting international aid toward strengthening its military and funding cross-border terrorism. Omar Abdullah’s tweet has reignited the debate, highlighting the paradox of global institutions funding a state accused of actively destabilizing South Asia.

As civilian homes, schools, and markets come under fire, the Indian public and policymakers are demanding a review of international funding mechanisms that allegedly empower aggression rather than peace. The world, they say, must choose—aid for peace or sponsorship of terror.
