Pakistan says US is encouraging Indian aggression

AFP
Islamabad, April 22

Pakistan said Monday the sale of US radars to India would encourage New Delhi's "belligerence" amid the nuclear neighbours' ongoing standoff over Kashmir.

Foreign office spokesman Aziz Ahmed Khan said last week's 146-million-dollar deal was unhelpful at a time when hundreds of thousands of troops are poised for battle on both sides of the border.

"It will encourage India to more belligerence," he told a press briefing. "As it is they have deployed their troops along the border. We think that anything more that adds to India's arsenal is only used in prompting it to intimidating postures."

India's army chief General Sundarajan Padmanabhan was due to begin a week-long visit to the United States Monday to cement warming military ties.
