India accuses Pakistan of fomenting Sikh militancy in Indian Punjab

[HAIDER]

NEW DELHI: India accused Pakistan's intelligence agency on Wednesday of trying to recruit and train militants to carry out attacks across the border in the Indian state of Punjab.

Indian Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde accused Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency of pressuring Sikh militant leaders to target Indian Punjab and other parts of the country.

“There has been some significant development on the Sikh militancy front,” Shinde said in New Delhi. “Its commanders based in Pakistan are under pressure from ISI to further ISI's terror plans not only in Punjab but also in other parts of the country,” alleged the Indian minister.

“The Sikh youths are being trained in ISI facilities in Pakistan.”

The minister singled out the threat to the northwestern state during a speech to state chief ministers gathered in New Delhi for an annual conference on internal security.

Shinde claimed Indian Punjab was also being targeted, with “a large quantity of arms and ammunition and explosives” seized by police in the last year after being allegedly smuggled across the India-Pakistan border.

Sikh youths living in Europe and the United States were also being encouraged to travel to Pakistan to train for terrorist-related attacks, Shinde told the conference.

'Maoist threat'

Also addressing the conference, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged the state and national governments to work together to curb the “very grave threat” of Maoist insurgents in central India.

He has previously described the rebels as the country's most serious internal security threat.

Anything new? India is a bliss, a paradise on this earth. All troubles in India including IPL spot fixing are because of Pakistan.

Maybe they should clean up the mess themselves instead of blaming Pakistan?

Typical sub-continent mentality. Never take responsibilty. Always blame others.

If this is true then it is a good move.

Deny it in public and keep the funds flowing.

If India thinks it can breed TTP in our country then we have 600 million people without a toilet and no ideology to bind them to play with in India.

Lets get them armed and trained in separatist movements.

Shinde must do the job silently instead of talking big in Public. HIs predecessor PC was silent enough, and got the work done, but he is just simply big mouthed to do anything.
If they are asking Militant leaders to attack, counter attack with RAW, increase intelligence, instead of trying to show steel to public

Pakistan does not have to do anything. It is well known that the sikhs outside of India are rabidly anti-Indian. Not all but a huge bunch of them.

If you fund and train TTP and BLA to operate in Pakistan, that is correct and if Pakistan trades in same currency then start crying.
U call it cross border terrorism, we call it TIT FOR TAT.
