 A India's outgoing navy chief Sureesh Mehta on Monday alleged that Pakistan's attempt to modify Harpoon missile posed a danger to India's interest. The accusation, made amid growing concerns about Pakistan's increasingly rapid conventional and nuclear weapons development, triggered a new round of U.S.-Pakistani tensions. Reacting to the same, Mehta said that US authorities are constantly being told that their aid to Pakistan is not necessarily used for self-defence.
