US President Barack H. Obama tripled the aid to Pakistan by signing a bill stating that about $7.4 Billion will be given to Pakistan as a non-military aid. But he stressed on the conditions and kept them intact which calls for ending the support to groups that target India and US.

While US president was signing the bill, Robert Gibbs a White House spokesman said that “This law is the tangible manifestation of broad support for Pakistan in the US, as evidenced by its bipartisan, bicameral, unanimous passage in Congress”.

Obama’s administration and the ‘US lawmakers’ said that the intention is not to “micromanage internal Pakistani affairs”, and cleared the air by saying that the legislation will not be changed.

Gibbs said that Barack Obama was trying to get into a partnership with Pakistan , he said that they are “grounded in support for Pakistan’s democratic institutions and the Pakistani people”.

This week Shah Mahmood Qureshi Pakistan’s Foreign Minister rushed back to Washington to report about the opposition to the five year pack of non-military aid by the Pakistani parliament.Some Pakistani politicians also said that this bill was an attempt by US to get Pakistan’s civilian and military affairs in their control and to “micromanage them”.

The statement says “The many requirements of this report are intended as a way for Congress to assess how effectively US funds are being spent, shortfalls in US resources that hinder the use of such funds, and steps the government of Pakistan has taken to advance our mutual interests in countering extremism and nuclear proliferation and strengthening democratic institutions”.

And to clear the air US states that “There is no intent to, and nothing in this act in any way suggests that there should be, any US role in micromanaging internal Pakistani affairs, including the promotion of Pakistani military officers or the internal operations of the Pakistani military.”
