US EditionIndia asks IMF to review loans to Pakistan, Indian government source says
- India has urged the International Monetary Fund to reassess the $7 billion bailout assistance provided to Pakistan amid rising tensions following a fatal attack in Kashmir on April 22.
- The request follows India’s plan to seek Pakistan’s re-listing on the FATF grey list due to alleged ongoing financial support for terrorism linked to the Pahalgam attack.

- These moves highlight India’s strategy to combat terrorism financing via international pressure and could influence IMF support and regional stability amid continued hostility between the neighbors.
