Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Congress leader Pawan Khera on Friday said that 140 crore people of the country stand in support of the armed forces.
"The armed forces will take action as deemed appropriate...140 crore people of the country stand in support of the armed forces," Khera told ANI. Khera said that they have demanded from the International Monetary Fund not to provide funds to a country which shelters, protects and produces terror. "The world has to realise that Pakistan will not improve, they'll not correct themselves...It's important to isolate Pakistan. The IMF (International Monetary Fund) is meeting today. We have demanded from the IMF that funds should not be given to a country which shelters, protects and produces terror," he added. Pakistan's chronic dependence on global bailouts hit another low on Friday as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) prepared to hand over yet another USD 1.1 billion lifeline to the flailing South Asian economy -- a country seemingly incapable of surviving without external aid, ARY News reported. The Indian Army during the intervening night of May 8 and May 9 successfully repelled and responded to multiple drone attacks by Pakistan along the western border and the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army said, "Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The drone attacks were effectively repulsed and a befitting reply was given to the CFVs. Indian Army remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded to with force." (ANI)
