India raises concern to France on military supplies to Pakistan

 India has raised concerns with France over its sale of arms to Pakistan amid fears that such supplies are used to strengthen defense capabilities of its neighbor rather than fighting terror.

"Yes it was raised," visiting French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet told local media when asked whether such concerns were conveyed during his meetings with his Indian counterpart A.K. Antony and Chiefs of Army and Navy.

However, the French minister said that such supplies are to enable Pakistan to intercept terrorists.

"I can tell you the military equipment which France is selling to Pakistan is only for interception and electronic purposes to fight terrorists," he said.
