ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday seemed unsure about how to respond to a $5 million aid offer from India to help it meet its flood crisis.
The offer was made by Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna in a telephonic conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
Mr Krishna described the offer as a “gesture of solidarity with the people of Pakistan in their hour of need”, a statement issued by the Indian High Commission here said.
A statement by Foreign Office here on Mr Krishna’s call did not mention the Indian aid offer. However, sources in the foreign ministry indicated that it was being considered.

Though the offer is quite low considering India being a economic giant after China, it should be accepted.

Niden do you know how much Aid China has offered? 2 million . They are your taller than mountain and deeper than ocean friends. What abt IOC full of petro dollars ? They are your brothers.
As for India, have you forgotten she is your arch-enemy ?
Hey why not accept it!
Cameron came and pretty much told us we are terrorist but we happly lapup their $50mil in aid, not only that the president goes and has tea and biscuit with him!
Most of you don't live in Pakistan. Those who do live behind gated centrally AC mansions. You will probably eat nihari and sewaiyya in your sehri while sipping some delicious rooh-afza. Why would you need the enemy's khairat?
Pakistan will get a lot of time to keep on the game of enmity with India. This is the time to help the needy. So, accept all on humanitarian grounds. Today India seems to be a staunch enemy- who knows a day may come and it becomes a 'kumbh ke mele mein khoya hua bhai'. All enmities convert into friendship and vice versa - have faith in TIME.

People didnt sell themselves during the partition and those who sold themselves are suffering it till now. Why is there a goodwill gesture by Indians now, when they try their best to put every lame happening they cause themselves on Pakistan?
Helping Pakistan. They can and they could have help Pakistan by following the Indus Water Treaty and not letting the rivers of Pakistan dried up causing less or no economical growth at Agricultural areas.
Not a every thing happening in India, just terrorism emanating from Pakistan. This is an internationally accepted fact. But you will say its a Yahud-Hanud conspiracy. Right?
As for IWT, India has not violated it a single time, even during war times. Pakistanis have just looked into the magic crystal ball and divined that it will in future. If I quote Indian sources, you will just laugh, International media is owned by Jews, so I will give give you Pakistani source. Here you go :
And all these are Pakistani Journalists and Diplomats, so there is some bias.
Today’s editorial of The Nation, one of Pakistan’s top English language daily.
Indian offer
That India has offered Pakistan $5 million in aid, because of the recent monsoon flooding, is more of a ploy than anything else, and thus should be rejected out of hand. Coming from a Congress-led government’s Foreign Minister, the offer raises once again the spectre of India establishing its hegemony over the region, and also panders to international sentiment by showing it that India can handle the problems of the region. Coming as it did during a telephone call by the Indian Foreign Minister, SM Krishna, to his Pakistani counterpart, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, while offering his congratulations on Pakistan Day, it was meant to show that the creation of Pakistan was a mistake. The hesitation shown by our Foreign Minister, in replying to this offer, itself shows how the present government is desperately seeking US approval by seeking Indian approval.
Pakistan’s government is trying to fit in with the American plans for the region, which sees India as the regional policeman, and the American bulwark against China. Therefore, Pakistan wants to resume the composite dialogue talks, even if they are devoid of content. Even though they may still be desired by the USA, India keeps on trying to avoid them. No talks with India will have any purpose if they do not tackle the Kashmir issue, the core issue between the two nuclear-armed neighbours; and no talks will have any result unless India changes its attitude, from the present stubborn obduracy, to one that is willing to facilitate a just solution to the region’s problems, which have been created in the first place because of India’s boorish behaviour and hegemonistic methods. This suits the international community, led by the USA, which wants Pakistan to accept India’s regional hegemony. That is why the USA is leading the international community in ignoring the current freedom struggle in Held Kashmir. **Accepting the Indian money would indicate that Pakistan is not worried about Kashmir, and is focused entirely on its own problems

Actually aid, help or support must be provided only to a person who is needy. By the editorial of 'The Nation' it seems that pakistanis never deserve to be helped. Instead of thanking India they are finding the conspiracy angle and ill designs of the helper. Can I know to how many sufferers of the world did pakistan offer help?
Perhaps none. A country with zero economy and internationally accepted terrorist supportdeserves to be doomed.

Please help yourself by sorting out the poverty level worst than Africa and before that help yourself mending your attitude and language term before event thinking to help Pakistan.
AS Icono Said, if India really wanted to help, then stop financing Baloch terrorists...
AS for Zardari, we cannot assume that he will ever say no to this or any help, he might have started looking for a new real-estate property to buy from this and other aid money....
