Highlighted Comments

IMF should be renamed to TMF. Terrorists Monetary Fund.

You see the IMF as a organisation is merely a puppet of US. After getting this loan Pak will go to US for weapons by which this fund will go to US pockets. Thats why the loan was sanctioned, so it's all about business.

What can you expect from International mujahideen Fund. I'm not surprised at all.

Everyone said Modi maintained a relationship internationally how come he was unable to stop this funding

This is the reality we confront with, it’s no use complaining. The voting rights in IMF depend on the economic strength of the member so the US will have a higher voting right than India.

Does the IMF stand for I'm MotherFuckinblind or something? Pak is going to use this money to escalate things now
