India
turns down US aid for quake victims
New
Delhi: India on Wednesday turned down any aid from the
US to tackle the post quake scenario in Jammu and Kashmir.
Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee was quoted by a news agency
as saying in Santiniketan that US Defence Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld had called to enquire if India needed help from Washington
in view of the havoc wrecked by Saturday quake. Mukherjee
said that he had told Rumsfeld that he (Mukherjee) had toured
the quake-affected areas, and it was assessed that there was
no need for any US aid, at least for the moment. According
to the agreements signed between India and the United States
in July this year, there is a clause about both countries
helping each other in the event of natural calamities.
