External Affairs Minister Jaishankar indicates F-16 issue came up with Blinken

The Hindu  

India has objected at various levels to the U.S. providing Pakistan assistance for its F-16s, and asked whether this $450 million sustainment package for the fighter jets came up during his talks with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar indicated that it did. Speaking to a diaspora group on Sunday, Mr Jaishankar had said, ““You’re not fooling anybody by saying these things,” about the F-16 assistance package being given to Pakistan ostensibly for counter-terrorism reasons. Standing beside Mr Blinken on Tuesday at a press appearance, Mr Jaishankar had said India was a $2000 per capita economy and the price of oil “is breaking our back”. “It’s vital to addressing virtually every global challenge that people face, whether it’s health security, climate change, food security, upholding a free and open international order, to name just a few,” he had said.
