New Delhi, Sep 15 - India will take up the issue of Pakistan's diversion of US aid for building anti-India infrastructure when External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna meets US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Sep 25 in New York.

'S.M. Krishna will meet Hillary Clinton in New York,' reliable sources told IANS here Tuesday evening, adding 'It's a serious issue, and the US is also equally concerned.'

The move comes in the wake of concerns expressed over former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf's confession about US aid being diverted against India.

'There is nothing new in it, misuse of US military aid has been happening since the 80s. We will bring it to the US' attention,' the source said.

On Monday, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor had asked Washington to monitor its aid to Islamabad.

'We support countries helping Pakistan fighting against terrorism, but we do not expect the aid turned against us,' Tharoor had told reporters here.

The US should monitor its aid to Pakistan, he said, adding that Musharraf's disclosure did not surprise India.
