[N.Siddiqui]

An Indian analyst, in a piece published in Hindustan Times, has acknowledged that the Indian spy agency the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has ties with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).



Bharat Karnad, professor for national security studies at the Centre for Policy Research and author of “Why India is Not a Great Power (Yet)”, writes, “Severing relations with TTP will mean India surrendering an active card in Pakistan and a role in Afghanistan as TTP additionally provides access to certain Afghan Taliban factions.”

This, he added, together with “the Abdul Ghani regime’s desire for India’s presence and the tested friendship with Abdul Rashid Dostum and his Tajik-dominated ‘Northern Alliance’, ensures that no solution for peace in Afghanistan can be cobbled together without India’s help”.

Discussing US secretary of defence, Lieutenant General (retd) James Mattis’ trip to India starting September 25, Karnad wrote, “As a former head of the US Central Command Mattis appreciates Pakistan’s indispensability as base for military operations to bring the Taliban in Afghanistan to their knees. But Islamabad has insisted that India’s role in Afghanistan be restricted and complained about the Indian support for the TTP accused by Islamabad of terrorism in Pakistan. The RAW-TTP link was publicly revealed in April this year by its former commander, Ehsanullah Ehsan.”

The analyst believes that Mattis would request India to moderate its support for the TTP as it is s useful as an Indian counterpart of the Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Muhammad. However, he maintained that the US official returning home empty-handed would not hurt relations with the US at all because there’s China; and the US needs India to strategically hinder it.

Those who deny Kulbhushan acknowledgement claiming he was forced to say that, should slap their face. Is this analyst also forced by Pakistan?

 

[Verve]

the US needs India to strategically hinder it.

A clear admission of being the attack dog of US.

India's submission to US is a story that'll continue to be told long after the dismemberment of India that we know today.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Everyone knows that Indians are supporting TTP and JuA in Afghanistan. What's new?

 

[Hellraiser007]

Nice try, with out any evidence.

Bharat Karnad is not an official in Indian army or RAW.

I can also write any thing and pass it as a truth.

Eh!? You Indians proclaim Indian Media to be the Gospel! Or do you think these are ISI stooges?

No. He’s just an analyst with an opinion, like countless others in the media. Only Pakistanis think a viewpoint of a single analyst represents official Indian policy on TTP. Just be happy with Khulbhusan.

Everyone knows and talk alot privately but good thing is people started to talk publicly.
TTP & JuA are IS (Khurasan). Isn't it!

That is what Pakistan was asking since 1947.

Btw I agree with all your post except afterlife part.

We have our share of guys who are not happy with the way India is progressing.

You forget your Duval and his statements? What this analyst says is aligned with what Ajit D said, and AD is not an analyst.

 

[Samurai_assassin]

Tegu even refer to them as Thareekhi Taliban Pakistan? They have openly waged war on Pakistan on behalf of their loyal nation of Hindustan. They should be referred to as the Hindustani Taliban.
