India vs Pakistan War – Key Highlights:
J&K’s Omar Abdullah Criticizes IMF for Funding Pakistan Amid Ongoing Attacks
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.

Jammu and Kashmir’s former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has strongly criticized the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for continuing to provide financial assistance to Pakistan amid the ongoing India vs Pakistan War.
In a sharp statement posted on social media, Abdullah questioned how the international community expects to de-escalate the conflict while the IMF effectively “reimburses” Pakistan for the ordnance it uses against Indian regions.
Omar Abdullah’s Statement: A Direct Critique
In his statement, Omar Abdullah highlighted the devastating impact of Pakistani attacks on several regions in Jammu and Kashmir, including:
- Poonch: Heavy shelling has led to significant damage and casualties.
- Rajouri: Pakistani shelling recently killed a senior J&K officer, Raj Kumar Thappa.
- Uri and Tangdhar: These border regions have faced continuous attacks, causing widespread fear among civilians.
Abdullah’s direct criticism of the IMF has sparked a wider debate over the role of international financial institutions in conflict regions.
IMF Funding Pakistan: The Controversy
Omar Abdullah’s comments bring attention to the ongoing financial relationship between the IMF and Pakistan, even as the country engages in military actions against India.
- Financial Support: Pakistan has received multiple bailout packages from the IMF to stabilize its struggling economy.
- Conflict Funding Concerns: Critics argue that these funds indirectly support Pakistan’s military expenditures, including cross-border attacks.
- International Responsibility: Abdullah’s statement calls for greater accountability from international institutions when dealing with conflict-affected regions.
What Lies Ahead
As the India vs Pakistan War continues, voices like Omar Abdullah’s are raising critical questions about the role of international institutions in conflict zones.
The Indian government has yet to officially respond to Abdullah’s comments, but the issue has already sparked discussions on social media and among policy experts.
Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
