May 27: There is no evidence to substantiate Pakistans claims that India is supporting Baloch rebels, a US think tank has observed, cautioning that New Delhi might consider this option if Islamabad fails to act against the LeT, responsible for the Mumbai terror attack.
Over the past five years, Pakistan has accused India of aiding Baloch insurgent groups through its consulates in Afghanistan, but has not provided any evidence, the Centre for International Policy observed in its report. The report, Pakistan: The State of the Union, concluded that Pakistans charges have lacked credibility as Baloch rebels have fought with ineffectual small arms.
They say this weaponry has been purchased on the black-market, with funding from Baloch compatriots in Dubai and other Persian Gulf states. Should India in fact, decide to give the Baloch sophisticated weaponry and logistic help, they could rapidly expand their present force of 4,500 fighters drawing on the large number of Baloch educated unemployed, Selig S. Harrison, director, Asia programme of the think tank said in the report.
He cautioned Pakistan that of late there has been an increasing effort on the part of Baloch and Sindh insurgents to seek military help from India, which New Delhi has avoided
