India opposes US arms supply to Pakistan

India on Thursday strongly opposed supply of arms to Pakistan by the United States, but said it had no objection on the US financial help to Islamabad.

Human Resource Development Minister Murli Manohar Joshi conveyed this when the U S Ambassador Robert Blackwill called on him, official sources said.

Expressing apprehensions that these arms would be used against India, Joshi during his 45-minute meeting with Blackwill emphasised that experience had clearly showed that Islamabad had always used them against his country.

Blackwill, in his one-to-one meeting, explained the U S stand on terrorism and its commitment to wipe it out everywhere.

He apprised Joshi of the views of the U S President and other officials on the recent Jammu and Kashmir incident, in which 35 people were killed.

Blackwill briefed him about the current U S thinking on universality of the challenges and many phases of war against terrorism and said Washington's war against terrorism would continue relentlessly.

Expressing deep condolences for those who lost their lives in Monday's terrorist attack in Srinagar, Blackwill stressed that this kind of terrorism was just the kind of activity which must be stamped out everywhere.
