Recently, credible reports have been surfaced that in the past seven years Indian and Israeli intelligence’ involvement in US-controlled Afghanistan has deepened.
According to the reports, senior military and national security officials have submitted to the Pakistan government irrefutable evidence that Indian and Israeli agencies are providing financial aid and modern weapons to the militants in the tribal region of Malakand and Waziristan. The Army’s preliminary investigations found out that 10th October attack on GHQ, Rawalpindi, was also a work of RAW. The attackers were not only well equipped and immaculately trained but also resembled the attacks on Sri Lankan team in Lahore, which were linked to the Tamil Tigers working in Sri Lanka under the guidance of RAW. Prime Minister Gilani also handed over concrete evidences of Indian involvement in fomenting trouble in Baluchistan to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in July 2009 at Sharm-ul Sheikh. Not only this, Pakistan had submitted many a times such evidences to US administration, which keeps on harping that Islamabad is not doing enough to fight terrorism, appealing it to stop New Delhi of its mischievous campaigns against Pakistan using Afghan soil. But sadly, the American admonitions to Pakistan about India’s benign intentions have turned into absolute demands. Preposterous conditions by various interest groups and Indian lobbyists in Washington have been added to the Kerry-Lugar Aid Bill for Pakistan. The Indian activities have gone unobserved for a long time but now enough evidences are available to indict the Indian government and military for indulging in worst forms of terror breeding. If truth be told, Afghanistan has become the new battle ground for a 62 year old proxy war between India and Pakistan. Both surprising and worrisome, India came out to be a major proactive player this time. Over the past seven years, she has moved aggressively by offering a range of assistance projects of over $1.5 Bn and establishing diplomatic missions through out Afghanistan. Taking advantage of impoverishment of Afghanistan, New Delhi deployed 4000 spies under the garb of Indian doctors, engineers, scientists, executives and labourers etc. India is also providing well-coordinated military supplies to the northern alliance through the air base in Tajikistan. This includes weapons, equipment and spare parts aimed at strengthening the anti-Pakistan elements and instability in Afghanistan on boil. According to an estimate around 2,637,000 illegal Indian nationals are residing in Karachi, persons from Indian backgrounds have shifted in bulk to Swat and Tribal areas and established training camps there. A report based on arrests of three Indian terror agents on Pakistani soil, was published in October 2008, revealed that RAW has been funding suicide bomb attacks in Pakistan and it has also funneled Rs 680 million to Swat terrorists through its links with the Afghan secret agency. The Indian footprints in Swat and the Pakistani tribal belt includes Indian currency, Indian bullets, Indian small and heavy explosives, blood banks and all supportive products i.e. fresh frozen plasma etc special hideouts like tunnels, caves, underground passages to help sustain a long-term war. This technology cannot be available to amateur fighters. All crimes on Pakistani soil from destruction of schools to slaughter of innocent people were done on behest of Indian assets on the ground and inside the nearby Afghan provinces. The slitting of throats was a new tactic introduced by Indian terrorist trainers to demoralize Pakistan and show the Afghan Taliban in a wrong light. The suicide bombings, too, are not the result of Arab influence here as the British and American media claims. It has also been backed with evidence that many psychological operations experts in Islamic indoctrination have been deployed in special training camps and introduce themselves as Mujahideen to new recruits, brainwash them and then use them inside Pakistan. Since Afghanistan is transitioning from insurgency to civil war, an enhanced Indian security presence would only add to the deteriorating situation of security in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The very presence of an Indian force will be a magnet for renewed attacks on foreign forces in Afghanistan and cross-border terrorist activities. Ms. Christine Fair of RAND Corporation unearthing some facts about the Indian consulates in Afghanistan and Iran stated that “it would be a mistake to completely disregard Pakistan’s regional perceptions due to doubts about Indian competence in executing covert operations. That misses the point entirely. And I think it’s unfair to dismiss the notion that Pakistan’s apprehensions about Afghanistan stem in part from its security competition with India. Having visited the Indian mission in Zahedan, Iran, I can assure you that they are not issuing visas as the main activity! Moreover, India has run operations from its mission in Mazar and is like doing so from the other consulates it has reopened in Jalalabad and Qandahar along the border. Indian officials have told me privately that they are pumping money into Baluchistan”. Similarly, Talal Bugti brought on record that 300 Baloch nationalists are getting training in the centre run by RAW in Afghanistan. Chief Minister of Baluchistan said that RAW was running terrorists training camps in Iran and Afghanistan and has now set up 30 to 40 such camps in Baluchistan, each with training facility for 30 people who are paid Rs.10,000 monthly. The leading newspaper of Sri Lank, Daily Mirror, while criticizing the role of Indian intelligence agency RAW states that among its most ambitious operations that are currently underway, is the move to separate Baluchistan province from Pakistan by supporting the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA). The idea behind Indian intervention into Afghanistan is to keep Pakistan and its intelligence agency on the defensive by fictionalizing and alleging its hand in supporting Taliban or Al-Qaeda militants. That is why, while Pakistan is doing utmost in controlling the state of affairs on border with Afghanistan, it is falling prey to the complex game India is playing to destabilize Pakistan in order to expand beyond its borders and create hegemony in the region. In a nutshell, Indian presence in Afghanistan whether diplomatic or economic has less to do with reconstruction and more to do with keeping the turf conducive for the workings of RAW against Pakistan. Likewise, New Delhi’s seriousness to increase tits military presence in Afghanistan has exposed its hollowness and duplicity for orchestrating the nefarious act. India’s military intervention would only serve its expansionist pursuit while keeping Afghanistan on boil. It is for international community to realize that the security situation and insurgency issue in Afghanistan are not going to be solved until the Indian influence on the Afghan government is removed. Because admit it or not, only the closer Pak-Afghan cooperation can help contain the growing power of insurgents but since the Indians have entirely different goals, the efforts will not bear fruit.
