Press Release MoFA Pakistan .

In response to media queries, the Spokesperson said that Pakistan had proposed the designation of four Indian nationals in 2019 under the United Nations 1267 Sanctions List, namely VenumadhavDongara, Ajoy Mistry, Gobinda Patnaik, and Angara Appaji.

These individuals were financing, sponsoring and organizing terrorism inside Pakistan by providing financial, technical and material support to terrorist groups including TTP, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and others.


We are disappointed that Pakistan’s proposal to designate VenumadhavDongara as a terrorist has been objected to. Pakistan hopes that the listing requests of other three Indian nationals will be given due consideration by the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee in an objective and transparent manner.

Taking advantage of the prolonged conflict in our neighbourhood, India has fomented terrorism inside Pakistan by providing training, financial and material support to terrorist groups to kill innocent people in Pakistan. These Indian nationals are now residing in India with impunity which vindicates Pakistan’s position that India is a state-sponsor of terrorism.

Pak tried to frame Indian engineer in terror plot to embarrass Modi; foiled
Venumadhav Dongara may have become the next Kulbhushan Jadhav, but for some quick thinking, and equally fast moves by Indian security agencies to extract him from Afghanistan on September 7.

The endgame of the plot involving Dongara, orchestrated by Pakistan’s spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), was to have the employee of a private sector company rebuilding infrastructure in war-ravaged Afghanistan listed by the United Nations Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Committee this month, say officials in Indian security and intelligence agencies.

Supported by China, this listing was a desperate attempt by Islamabad to link India and terror, and also embarrass India at a time when the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a high-profile visit to the US, where he will also speak at the UN General Assembly.

The plot, which was hatched in March, seeks to link the Indian engineer, who works for KEC International, a subsidiary of the RPG Group that has been in the business of building transmission infrastructure around the world for years, to a terror group that is believed to be responsible for attacking Peshawar airbase in 2015, killing 29 people.


According to the officials, who asked not to be named, the reason for the listing by the 1267 Committee (set up after the 9/11 attacks in the US and which designates global terrorists) was cited as “participation in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities….in support of supplying, selling or transferring arms and related material to ISIL or Al Qaeda.”

Interestingly, Indian diplomats based in New York had no idea about the 1267 Sanctions Committee being moved as India is not a member of it.

While Dongara is now back in India, six employees of KEC are being held hostage by the Taliban.


Had Dongara not been extracted, it is possible that he may have been abducted by ISI from Afghanistan, in much the same way Indian naval officer-turned-businessman Kulbushan Jadhav was from Iran. Islamabad claimed in 2017 that he was arrested from Balochistan and accused him of terrorism and spying for Indian spy agency Research & Analysis Wing. He was sentenced to death by a court in Pakistan but the International Court of Justice stayed the execution. In July, it asked Pakistan to review his trial and conviction and to also provide consular access to India.

Dongara comes from a modest agricultural background but completed his M.Tech in power systems after excelling in academics. His first project, a 500 KV substation, Dasht-e-Alwan, in Afghanistan’s Baghlan province, was completed in January 2019 while he was working on the Doshi-Bamiyan transmission line as a project manager.

According to the Indian officials, ISI prepared a dossier on fictitious terror activities of Dongara including FIRs, photos, and other fake evidence. He was portrayed as a financier and weapon suppliers of several anti-Pakistan groups including Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, Tariq Gidar Group, TTP, ISIL and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.


As part of its efforts to fabricate a case against Dongara, Pakistan filed an FIR no 81, Dated March 11, under Sections 302, 324, 353, 148, 149, 120B-3/4/5 Exp-15AA 7ATA-21 (i)-11 (N) ATD, CTD, in Peshawar and slapped him with charges of supplying weapons/explosives to the UN-proscribed Tariq Gidar Group, which is a splinter group of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Pakistan, as per a UN listing, holds this group responsible for the Peshawar Army School massacre in which 132 innocent children were killed. The TGG is also believed to be responsible for the attack on a Pakistan Air Force base at Badaber in Peshawar on September 18, 2015, in which 29 security personnel were killed.

Dongara moved to Afghanistan for work only in December 2016. He was employed in Chennai at the time he is supposed to have been financing and supplying arms to these groups, the people cited above said.

This should have been done way back. Better late than never but to be honest... Our diplomatic and military staff sucks when it comes to PR.

Clifford Ruggles, program manager of DynCorp International’s (DI) Phoenix Consulting Group, recently traveled to Afghanistan to provide counter-elicitation training to DI’s Afghanistan National Army (ANA), Afghanistan National Police (ANP) and Afghanistan Life Support Services (ALiSS) programs in Kabul. A former U.S. Army interrogator and strategic debriefer who has been with the Phoenix Consulting Group since 2003, Mr. Ruggles focused his training primarily on teaching techniques for recognizing and countering information-gathering attempts by potential competitors, adversaries or anyone else seeking to gain insight into DI’s operations.

“Due to the fact that DI employees in Afghanistan routinely work alongside our competitors and interact daily with people from dozens of countries, the potential for unknowingly disseminating sensitive company information is high,” said Ruggles.

ALiSS Food Service Operations Manager Robert Peters noted, “I thought that the class was very informative and should be a requirement. In contracting, especially overseas, there are numerous opportunities for employees to inadvertently pass along proprietary information. Being in a community such as this, most people are friendly with one another. What one person may think is a friendly conversation, another person may be trying to use the conversation to elicit or extract information that their company can use on proposals.”

“It was an excellent class and Cliff Ruggles is an excellent instructor. You can tell that he has been doing it for a long time and it shows in his delivery, presentation, and his knowledge is off the charts,” commented Curtis Blasé, ANA/ANP director of Security and Operations.

“Although the focus of these training events was primarily counter-elicitation, the Phoenix Consulting Group conducts a wide variety of training courses such as Advanced Crisis Negotiations, Business Intelligence, Strategic Debriefing of Law Enforcement Sources, Cognitive Interviewing, and others,” added Ruggles.

Good move. Indians only understand their own language.
 
. . .

This counter-attack was bound to happen. It achieves two purposes:
  1. A counter-narrative is created; a superior form of what-aboutery. Hafeez Said is a terrorist! Oh yeah? What about Gobinda Patnaik (give me that name again, quickly, I'm live on camera) Duggivalasa?
  2. Inhibiting any assistance to the Afghan Government. This was a direct attack on a consulting firm focussed on prevention of information leakage and on counter-intelligence training, not exactly subjects that would endear them to an intelligence service committed to destroying every neighbor in sight - and some beyond.
So these Indian employees have to be substituted; the easiest is by Iranians. Even a phenomenally active and virulent intelligence service will not fiddle around with Iranian citizens supported by their government; Iran is, at the moment, unpredictable as well as powerful and likely to give as good as it gets.

Big deal. They are vulnerable in Kabul; there are at least three other locations where they can do their training and consultancy with perfect peace of mind.

Previously dossiers now terror list. Both the times got rejected. Countries see through propaganda these days when will Pakistani establishment understand it.


They really didn't. It got slapped down at UN.
These being intelligence officials working for a government I doubt Pakistan can succeed as it will create a precedence and a lot of countries doing similar covert ops including the United States.

Even if failed, Pakistan still achieves something by highlighting the issue. It shows a change in approach by Pakistan, now that these operatives have been exposed they can not be used in the field again and same for the tactics. They're Afghan facilitators are mysteriously being targeted, Iran has been given a strong warning recently with financial repercussions. The US involvement and opposition to the move means they will give concessions or assurances to Pakistan in return. It took years of work before India could get Hafiz Saeed recognized and that too happened once Pakistan banned all militant organizations good or bad part of national action planning following Swat operation.
India can try but it can never repeat what it did in the past.

Well, atleast 3 pollutants were taken back into the shithole where they came from for fear of becoming minced meat. Whether they did it or not is another matter. What matters is that we're seriously overhauling our strategies vis a vis india. Offc due to our limited clout at the UN and elsewhere results will not always be in our favor but the fact that they had to be evacuated clearly means ISI has/had the means to make minced meat out of them. Instead they opted to publish their names in the media and took a different approach. Lets see if it bears any fruit in the long run.
