'India has arms deals with US, then why fuss over F-16 sale to Pakistan'

February 16, 2016 11:17

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has 'regretted' India's objection to sale of eight F-16 aircraft to Pakistan.

Underlining that strategic balance in South Asia is pivotal for regional peace, Aziz told a news channel that India has inked big arms deals with the United States, Russia, and other countries but it is making hue and cry over F-16 jets deal between the US and Pakistan.

He reiterated the Americans' stance that the jets are being provided to Pakistan to combat terrorism. The Obama administration on Friday approved the sale of eight F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan in the face of US lawmakers' opposition to the deal over Islamabad's alleged support for terrorist groups.
