Pakistan resorts to begging bowl - IMF loan announced

I hope you remember President Musharraf speech that a country could not be an independent country that lives on Aid, as once Aid is taken, a part of sovereignty is lost. Actually, it is better to get grants than Aid (concessional loans) because grants are for specific purpose where sovereignty is not at stake, but sovereignty gets compromised with Aid. So, even though country has to pay back money taken in Aid with interest, many could not realise why taking Aid means losing sovereignty and why Aid is bheek :).

Musharraf knew what sovereignty meant?
