Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Thursday said it baffled the people and Government of India why the United States extended economic aid to 'sponsors and abettors' of terrorism.
"You (US) have declared yourself the leader of the global coalition against terrorism. Then, why do you give economic aid and arms to those who sponsor and abet terrorism? This they (people of India) do not understand," he said speaking at a function to mark the 28th anniversary of the imposition of emergency in 1975
He asked the US to be sensitive to the people and government of India while taking a decision concerning economic aid and arms to Pakistan.
