Taliban's India connection and its disturbing fallout


While Pakistan is getting the flak for not doing enough to cut off Taliban’s alleged connections with sympathizers in the Fata region along with the unceasing mantra to do more, Indians are going full steam ahead to destabilize Pakistan and Afghanistan by laying out well oiled clandestine channels for supporting subversive elements in Afghanistan, report informed sources.

According to these sources the spate of suicide bombings targeting US led ISAF forces in Afghanistan and targets inside Pakistan, have a distinct Indian signature. The two Indian Consulates at Kandahar and Jalalabad, in particular, located along Pakistani border, as suspected since long, are playing a pivotal role in fanning the fires of violence and turmoil by cultivating Taliban elements through a heavy flow of cash and arms and hoisting perverted ideological motivations to those unfazed by cash and looking to die for a’ cuties’.

Taliban’s ‘India Connection’ was recently revealed when in Kabul, Afghan police apprehended an Indian national from district Zarai of Kandahar province on September 3, 2007. The Indian agent, operating under cover as a Pakistani, was held on charges of assisting and financing Taliban militants in the region. He was shifted to Kabul for detailed interrogation on September 8, 2007. Afghan police investigations established the identity of the suspect as Rohit Vashisht, son of Padam Dev Sharma, belonging to Ranchi district in Bihar province of India. Vashisht had traveled from India to Kabul on passport No. G-3032400 issued on June 1, 2007 and when apprehended, was masquerading as a Pakistani, duly sustained by appropriate dress, complexion and fluency in Urdu. He confessed to, during initial interrogation by Afghan police in Kandahar, of acting as conduit for providing finances and facilitates recruiting elements among Taliban to carryout suicide attacks targeting Pakistan and ISAF forces.


He further divulged that he had acquired a deep ingress among Taliban and had been successful in convincing their leadership in proiecting Pakistan as their real enemy, which was closely aligned to US policies and was primarily responsible for thwarting their political and military objectives in the region.


At the time of his arrest Vashisht was carrying a large amount of US dollars besides significant amounts of Pakistani and Afghani currencies. A list of his Taliban contacts and their addresses were also recovered from him at the time of his arrest along with maps of Pakistani cities of Peshawar, Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Police also acquired names of various Taliban leaders and their addresses with whom he had interacted during his present sojourn as well as on the occasion of his previous visits.


Rohit confessed be an arms and ammunition specialist as well, with particular expertise in shoulder fired surface to air missiles (SAM). According to investigations he had been advising Taliban on the maintenance and employment of Stinger missiles and other sophisticated weapons held on Taliban’s inventory in Afghanistan.


According to sources it is no mere coincidence that two stinger missiles were recovered by Afghan police just after the apprehension of Rohit in Zarai district of Kandhar.


Rohit Vashisht’s arrest is not the first incident of its kind, whereby Indian efforts to rake trouble in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been convincingly exposed. A common denominator of such exposures has been the reluctance of the Afghan authorities to share intelligence with Pakistan and choosing to unbilaterally close the issue without following the vital leads provided by the arrests.


In another such incident recently, an Indian agent operating under cover as member of a medical team in Jalalabad, was caught red handed while working for RAW and cultivating patients for recruitment as suicide bombers. Instead of following up on the case the individual was repatriated quietly to India. Similarly, another Indian agent named Muhammad Tariq was arrested on March 6, 2007 in Jalalabad and remained under custody for five days. Some sensitive documents were recovered from his possession. During interrogation he confessed to working for RAW in Kabul but he was silently and inexplicably released. Vashisht case proved no different. It is reflective of the Indian influence with the levers of power in Afghanistan that despite over-whelming presence of incriminating evidence, intelligence agencies and police authorities released Rohit Vashisht on September 15, 2007 without further ado. To provide an alibi Afghan interrogators declared Rohit Vashisht as mentally deranged and repatriated him back to India on September 16, 2007, through assistance provided by the Indian Embassy in Kabul.
According to observers, the presence of Indian menace in Afghanistan, manifest in the form of its four consulates, is being maliciously exploited by RAW, not only to fan turmoil in Fata belt but also to encourage attacks on the ISAF in Afghanistan with a view to drive a wedge in Pak US collaboration the Global War on Terror (GWOT). This presence is also casting its shadow on the internal security situation in Pakistan whereby the attacks by suicide bombers have tell tale Indian linkages and similar conclusions have been drawn by security experts from the string of attacks on security forces as well. In this context the hints dropped by NWFP governor that the government will withdraw additional troops from FATA in view of its national interest and that he didn’t rule India’s involvement in the current turmoil in the tribal region are meaningful. As the arrest and release of two Indian intelligence operators indicate, India’s pernicious liberty of action in Afghanistan needs to be checked. If allowed to operate unhindered, her capacity for unrestrained operations would only add to the regional turmoil and its significantly negative fall out on GWOT will become all too obvious sooner rather than later.

Former Pakistan Army Chief General ''Retd'' Mirza Aslam Baig on Tuesday said that Iran and Pakistan are under siege of western conspiracies.
He said that intelligence agencies of allied forces are very active in Afghanistan and working against the interests of Iran, Pakistan, China and Russia.


"There are set-ups of United States in Jiwani and Kot Kalmat, in Balochistan province from where they carry out different operations in the area," he said.

He said that the United States is also providing training facilities to the people of Jundallah, in Balochistan so that these people could create unrest in the area and affect Iran-Pakistan relations.

General (Retd) Baig termed the act of the United States as a conspiracy and said that this should be stopped.

He lauded the decision of the Pakistan government for handing over the people of Jundallah to Iran and said that those who are working against the interests of both countries should be dealt with with iron fist.

He said that the activities of people of Jundallah should be stopped and for this Iran and Pakistan have to tighten the security at Pakistan-Iran border.

He believed that in past both Pakistan and Iran had made mistakes but now it is right time to look forward and build strong relations.

General (Retd) Baig said that Pakistan should have supported the stance of Iran during Iran-Iraq war.

He was of the view that Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan should have worked together after the withdrawal of Russian army from Afghanistan.

He stressed the need for making a comprehensive strategy to strengthen Iran-Pakistan relations.

"We should forget the past and make a strategy to guard our national interests," he said.

He said the richness of Balochistan in mineral resources is one of the attractions for the international powers but the strategic location of Balochistan is more important to the US and its allies.

General (Retd) Baig said that it is the responsibility of both countries to make the area free of danger and take the conspiracies as a challenge.

He said the American policy-makers are very much active in Balochistan since 2001 while India too has gained considerable influence in the province since then.

Somebody out there is really frustrated.

Wonder why they don't accuse CIA of killing the NATO forces.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has found evidence of involvement of foreign hands in creating anarchy in Hangu, Swat and different areas of Fata. Pakistan has also decided to raise the issue before Afghan and Indian governments. The NWFP government has already provided evidence to the interior ministry in this regard, sources in the ministry told Online.

According to a report received by the government from intelligence agencies, Indian consulates in Afghanistan are creating anarchy in the tribal areas of the country. Different groups running separation movement in Balochistan were also given financial assistance, the sources maintained.

India is our eternal enemy: Taliban

A top local Taliban leader has dismissed contentions by Pakistani officials that India is helping militants in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.

"We are true Muslims and true Pakistanis and are more concerned about the country's safety than any other countryman," Maulana Faqir Muhammad, "deputy commander" of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, told the News daily.

He said they consider India as an "eternal enemy".

Muhammad, who leads the Pakistani Taliban in the Bajaur tribal region, also rejected reports that al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed or wounded in a recent US missile strike in South Waziristan Agency.

Referring to the Taliban's peace talks with the Pakistan government, he said the authorities were not sincere.

"We are very clear about the talks. We never denied talks with the government. If the government were not aggravating the situation here, we too would not do so. We do not want activities inside the country so that we can focus more attention across the border," Muhammad said.

His comments came as pressure mounted on Pakistan from various countries, including the US and Afghanistan, to rein in militants operating from its soil.

He said the Pakistan government had committed "excesses" in the Swat valley in the North West Frontier Province. "If the government stopped the operations in Swat, the situation would automatically calm down within no time, but if the government continued the operation, it would face more resistance," he warned.

Yeah - this from the guys who have broken every deal signed with them, and then accused the GoP.

This from the people who would lie about B Mehsud fighting in Afghanistan, when he was sick at home.

This from the people who consistently murder innocent Tribesmen and elders who oppose them for being 'spies'.

Even if they consider India their 'enemy' lets not forget that they took money and weapons from the 'Great Satan' so they could fight their immediate enemy the Soviets.

Plus, the Indians would most likely be going through Afghan Intelligence to accomplish this anyway.

US told not to back terrorism against Pakistan​

Tuesday, August 05, 2008

By Kamran Khan

KARACHI: Pakistan has complained to the United States military leadership and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that Washington’s policy towards terrorism in Pakistan was inconsistent with America’s declared commitment to the war against terror.

Impeccable official sources have said that strong evidence and circumstantial evidence of American acquiescence to terrorism inside Pakistan was outlined by President Pervez Musharraf, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and Director General Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. Gen. Nadeem Taj in their separate meetings with US Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen and CIA Deputy Director Stephen R Kappes on July 12 in Rawalpindi.

The visit by the senior US military official along with the CIA deputy director — carrying what were seen as India-influenced intelligence inputs — hardened the resolve of Pakistanís security establishment to keep supreme Pakistan’s national security interest even if it meant straining ties with the US and Nato.

A senior official with direct knowledge of these meetings said that Pakistan’s military leadership and the president asked the American visitors “not to distinguish between a terrorist for the United States and Afghanistan and a terrorist for Pakistan”.

For reasons best known to Langley, the CIA headquarters, as well as the Pentagon, Pakistani officials say the Americans were not interested in disrupting the Kabul-based fountainhead of terrorism in Balochistan nor do they want to allocate the marvellous predator resource to neutralise the kingpin of suicide bombings against the Pakistani military establishment now hiding near the Pak-Afghan border.

In the strongest evidence-based confrontation with the American security establishment since the two countries established their post-9/11 strategic alliance, Pakistani officials proved Brahamdagh Bugti’s presence in Afghan intelligence safe houses in Kabul, his photographed visits to New Delhi and his orders for terrorism in Balochistan.

The top US military commander and the CIA official were also asked why the CIA-run predator and the US military did not swing into action when they were provided the exact location of Baitullah Mehsud, Pakistan’s enemy number one and the mastermind of almost every suicide operation against the Pakistan Army and the ISI since June 2006.

One such precise piece of information was made available to the CIA on May 24 when Baitullah Mehsud drove to a remote South Waziristan mountain post in his Toyota Land Cruiser to address the press and returned back to his safe abode. The United States military has the capacity to direct a missile to a precise location at very short notice as it has done close to 20 times in the last few years to hit al-Qaeda targets inside Pakistan.

Pakistani official have long been intrigued by the presence of highly encrypted communications gear with Baitullah Mehsud. This communication gear enables him to collect real-time information on Pakistani troop movement from an unidentified foreign source without being intercepted by Pakistani intelligence.

Admiral Mullen and the CIA official were in Pakistan on an unannounced visit on July 12 to show what the US media claimed was evidence of the ISI’s ties to†Taliban commander Maulana Sirajuddin Haqqani and the alleged involvement of Pakistani agents in the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul.

Pakistani military leaders rubbished the American information and evidence on the Kabul bombing but provided some rationale for keeping a window open with Haqqani, just as the British government had decided to open talks with some Taliban leaders in southern Afghanistan last year.

Before opening new channels of communication with the Taliban in Helmand province in March this year, the British and Nato forces were talking to leading Taliban leaders through†Michael Semple, the acting head of the European Union mission to Afghanistan, and Mervyn Patterson, a senior UN official, before their unprecedented expulsion from Afghanistan by the Karzai government†in January this year.

The American visitors were also told that the government of Pakistan had to seek the help of Taliban commanders such as Sirajuddin Haqqani for the release of its kidnapped ambassador Tariquddin Aziz, after the US-backed Karzai administration failed to secure Aziz’s release from his captors in Afghanistan.

Admiral Mullen and Kappes were both provided information about the activities of the Indian consulates in Kandahar and Jalalabad and were asked how the CIA does not know that both Indian consulates are manned by Indian Intelligence who plot against Pakistan round the clock.

“ We wanted to know when our American friends would get interested in tracking down the terrorists responsible for hundreds of suicide bombings in Pakistan and those playing havoc with our natural resources in Balochistan while sitting in Kabul and Delhi,”, an official described the Pakistani mood during the July 12 meetings.

Throughout their meetings, the Americans were told that Pakistan would like to continue as an active partner in the war against terror and at no cost would it allow its land to be used by our people to plot terror against Afghanistan or India . However, Pakistan would naturally want the United States, India and Afghanistan to refrain from supporting Pakistani terrorists.

Pakistani officials have said that the current “trust deficit” between the Pakistani and US security establishment is not serious enough to lead to a collapse , but the element of suspicion is very high, more so because of† the CIA’s decision to publicise the confidential exchange of information with Pakistan and to use its leverage with the new government to try to arm-twist the Army and the ISI.

The Pakistani security establishment, officials said, want a fresh round of strategic dialogue with their counterparts in the US, essentially to prioritise the objectives and terrorist targets in the war against terror, keeping in mind the serious national security interests of the allies.

very well said, but my dear friend Icecold whose got the balls to throw the ball in USA's court. Infact our PM is going to washington to handover his own balls(if he has), or would consider that it has already been taken by Mr. 10%.

The only one left is Musharraf and that too for as long as the Armed Forces have his back (which they seem to at this time). He is coming out and going on the offensive about this. Recent disclosures to the media by him about the ongoings in Balochistan and also the discussions with the Americans about their attitude and tacit approval for Indian and Afghan efforts to undermine the Pakistani state are noteworthy.

Maybe plain gimmicks for you because it shows your India in not so a noble light, right?

These facts are in front of the world. For those to whom this matters, they will see them and find them to make sense.

And by posting this, your point is that there is no chance that these Taliban Pakhtuns could be manipulated by some (I.E. Indian and Afghan intelligence) who may want to paint the Pakistani operations against them as excess "excesses"?

No this means that India has nothing to do with what is going on inside pakistan. And pakistan is not able to control her own people who are involved in another country.
