On May 16, 2025, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, speaking at Bhuj Airbase, accused Pakistan of allocating ₹14 crore to rebuild terrorist infrastructures of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Muridke and Bahawalpur. He urged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reconsider its recent $1 billion loan to Pakistan, asserting that such funds could indirectly support terrorism. Singh highlighted India's successful Operation Sindoor, which dismantled nine terror camps, and emphasized the nation's readiness to counter any threats. Quoting poet Bashir Badr, he warned Pakistan against provocative actions. Singh's statements underscore concerns about Pakistan's alleged misuse of international aid and the imperative for global institutions to ensure funds are not diverted to support terrorism.
