No conditionalities should be attached to sending humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan: India to Pak

Days after Pakistan sent a list of conditions to India before allowing Indian aid to reach Afghanistan, New Delhi insisted that no conditionalities should be attached to sending humanitarian assistance.

India on Thursday said discussions with Pakistan are going on to finalise the modalities for the transportation of its aid to Afghanistan via Pakistani soil and insisted that no conditionalities should be attached to sending humanitarian assistance.

New Delhi had sent a proposal to Islamabad on October 7 seeking a transit facility to send 50,000 tonnes of wheat and life-saving medicines to the people of Afghanistan via Pakistani soil and it received a response from Pakistan on November 24.
