US administration should ensure that an aid of over $2 billion granted to Pakistan yesterday is not used against India for terror activities, BJP national spokesperson Tarun Vijay told reporters here.

Vijay hoped that Obama's efforts to improve Indo-American relationship grow stronger and said that Pakistan was using Taliban as commercial venture to seek funds from America.

On Kashmir issue, Vijay criticised the Home Ministry for permitting Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Shah Geelani and author and social activist Arundhati Roy for holding meeting in Delhi and openly supporting free Kashmir.

On the chargesheet against RSS member Indresh Kumar in the Ajmer blast case, Vijay termed the development as a political conspiracy.
