India to send more troops to Afghanistan

[LCA Tejas]

NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday said Afghanistan remained a "vulnerable" area for Indian assets as the government plans to provide more and better security to its nationals posted in the war-ravaged country.

"There were intelligence alerts that Indian assets may be targeted, following which adequate steps were taken but Afghanistan is a vulnerable area," home minister P Chidambaram said on Friday's attack in Kabul in which six Indians died.

Chidambaram's comments come close on the heels of a government move to send another contingent of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel to strengthen security of Indian interests in Afghanistan.

Sources here said the Afghanistan government has agreed to the Indian demand of sending more security forces to guard vital installations and ongoing development projects, which have become the target of terror groups operating in the region.

The home ministry is also planning to move Indian officials, including doctors, to safer locations in Afghanistan after terrorists struck at two hotels in which Indians engaged in development and reconstruction works were staying, the sources said.

Realising that the Taliban and their associates have started targeting Indian officials who are in the field and are vulnerable, India has begun a review of their security. There are about 4,000 Indians engaged in such projects -- being implemented as part of India's development assistance to the tune of $1.3 billion to Afghanistan. A team of investigators is already in Kabul, joining a probe being conducted by Afghan authorities into last Friday's terror attack.

Well buddy, Indian troops are not going to get out there in the middle and fight with terrorists along with NATO... We want our Infrastructure's there to be very safe from terrorists. We are building Afghanistan's Infrastructure, we have already invested a billion US$, cannot afford to loose it.... Well ITBP is a good force to protect our infrastructures there...

Did you care to read the news. India is not going to fight there. Most likely India will send ITBP which is paramilitary in nature. They will be safeguarding the Indian asset and infrastructure.

Rest is just your jealousy and frustation.

The Question is that what India means by Assets ????

Indeed not roads neither hospitals neither medicines nor cookies they provide there But RAW headquarters, RAW Agents and RAW terror training camps in Afghanistan.

And if you had followed the media, India did not cry over death of its "9" (You can read teh figure upside down too as claimed by India) nationals. Not much projection nor protest as had been the norm in the past.


And one more thing the Karzai pro-India govt had also banned the coverage of the site by Media and they are banned any coverage in the future. Because it exposes the identity of those killed and attacked.

Assets in here means Schools, when we give them education we inturn help there society by not engaging in anti-social Activities, which in return will help us reduce cross border terrorism, that is ISI will not get men to export terrorism to be simple, and thats an asset to us... building schools in the epicenter of terrorism is always an asset to every country which is a victim of terror... and How do You know RAW agents are setting up HQ's there???
