I knew this was coming and hence certain articles and paragraphs to back my claim.
@ezsasa for further reference on why i believe these funds were released on purpose even when everyone knew where exactly they would end up. Should have added this on the first message itself.
Paragraph 1
India has long argued that IMF support to Pakistan is routinely misused. Over the past 35 years, Pakistan has entered 28 IMF programmes, including four in just the last five years, with little to show by way of structural reform or lasting economic stability.
Former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal called the decision “terrible optics,” adding that the IMF’s governance is skewed in favour of Western powers and lacks accountability.
Para 2
Pakistan has a long history of IMF bailouts—over 23 programs since 1958, with many going off-track.
Disbursed funds were often spent on financing deficits, not economic transformation.
In several cases, funds were disbursed under the assumption of reform, but targets were missed, and the money was used to plug budget holes rather than restructure the economy.
Widespread criticism exists—particularly from India and some Western analysts—that Pakistan has historically used freed-up fiscal space (after receiving IMF or bilateral funds) to increase defense spending.
Although direct IMF funds are earmarked for budgetary and economic stabilization, the argument is that these funds indirectly allow Pakistan to shift domestic revenue toward military and strategic priorities.
Do we see the pattern here. PA somehow ends up with the money which they then use to plug something else thus indirectly allowing to boost defense spending.
A much simplified example.
They have for example a 4 billion deficit in budget and they want to use their reserve funds to plug it. IMF jumps in throws in 4 billion on some poverty removal plan. Pakistan uses it to meet the budget deficit.
It now has 4 billion freed up to boost military spending and fund terrorism.
As pointed out by DM itself.
India Business News: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday urged the IMF to reconsider its loan to Pakistan, fearing funds will be used for terror infrastructure. India
