Can Obama really stop Pakistan from using US Aid against India? Indian Members of Parliament concerned

A delegation of the Members of Parliament of India visiting the United States have expressed concerns to the Obama Administration that Pakistan is using US aid to build a well-oiled war machine for use against India.

"At several meetings we made it clear that the Af-Pak policy must necessarily have an inbuilt safeguard component to prevent the direct or indirect diversion of enormous US aid for potentially anti-India activities by Pakistan," Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, leader of the delegation, told reporters in Washington before leaving for India.

The bigger question however is can the Obama Administration really stop Pakistan from using US aid against India?

The answer according to international think tanks specializing on South Asia and US-Pakistan relations is categorically “no.”

What can India do in that case except raising the concern? That had little effect in the last fifty years. Pakistan has used US aid and military apparatus against India in every war since 1947.

"We also conveyed the huge Indian concern about the continued non-reduction of aggregate carbon emissions from the US," Singhvi said.
