OPINION | Rajnath Singh on Pak: ‘UN is asking a cat to guard milk’

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday urged the international community to stop the flow of foreign funds to Pakistan. At an event in Dehradun, Singh described Pakistan as a  “nursery of terrorism” that should not be fed. The minister also expressed shock over the recent decision of the UN Security Council to name Pakistan as the vice-president of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. He said, such a decision raises questions about the seriousness of the United Nations in dealing with the scourge of terrorism. “This Counter-Terrorism Committee was set up after the 9/11 terror attacks by Al Qaeda in the US. Pakistan had sheltered the mastermind of 9/11 attacks. This decision is similar to the proverb about asking a cat to guard the milk. Nothing can be more unfortunate”, Singh said.
