There is always Indian hand in every bomb attack in Pakistan. The substantial proof Pakistan has is not even acclaimed by its all-weather friend China.

I am wondering dont you guys get bored with accusations when all GoP does is saying that they have lot of proof Indian involvement but never able to use it at any international level.

Pakistan keeps claiming Indian involvement in Balochistan and Waziristan but is yet to show any evidence.

An article from TIME magazine titled "Pakistan's Other Problem Area: Baluchistan" -

Baluch attacks are frequently followed by Pakistani accusations of Indian involvement, though Islamabad, which has a noted record of being a breeding ground for terrorists who make their way to India, has yet to show any evidence of Indian collusion.

Baluchistan: Pakistan's Other Problem Area - TIME

It is obvious why Pakistani officials keep making such statements without revealing the "evidence" of Indian involvement - because there is no such evidence.

Another obvious piece of information - Such statements are being made to breed hatred against India among Pakistani populace and most importantly, to explain the failures of Pakistani security personnel in their effort to prevent these terror attacks.

As Manmohan Singh said in September -

"The people and government of Pakistan know jolly well that this is a false accusation."

And US Secretary of State's reply on being asked about Indian involvement in insurgency in Pakistan -

"Well, first of all, we have no evidence of that. I mean, we just have no evidence of that."

So... stop fooling around by making these ridiculous claims. The only thing at stake here is the credibility of the statements being made by Pakistani officials.

It is obvious why Pakistani officials keep making such statements without revealing the "evidence" of Indian involvement - because there is no such evidence."

And who wrote this? A reliable Indian source named Ishaan Tharoor.

Here is what Laura Rozen reports in Foreign Policy Mag:

While the U.S. media has frequently reported on Pakistani ties to jihadi elements launching attacks in Afghanistan, it has less often mentioned that India supports insurgent forces attacking Pakistan, the former intelligence official said. "The Indians are up to their necks in supporting the Taliban against the Pakistani government in Afghanistan and Pakistan," the former (US) intelligence official who served in both countries said. "The same anti-Pakistani forces in Afghanistan also shooting at American soldiers are getting support from India. India should close its diplomatic establishments in Afghanistan and get the Christ out of there."

Haq's Musings: Taliban or RAW-liban?

Yeah... and that Foreign Policy Magazine article quotes whom? Any guesses?? An unnamed "former (US) intelligence official".

And why not post a direct link to the concerned article? Here you go -
Can the intel community defuse India-Pakistan tensions? | The Cable

Published in February 2009, this article also makes the claim -

"The Indians are almost certainly going to do something before [their] elections. They will strike camps in Pakistan."

There goes the credibility of the article.

And BTW... another reason why a direct link to the concerned article was not posted - because it had an "update" at the bottom which reads as follows -

A Washington South Asia expert, among others, wrote to dispute the allegation made by a former U.S. intelligence official cited in the piece that India is aiding the Taliban, although he said such support may be going to other anti-Pakistan insurgent groups. "It doesn't square with my observations/sources, even though lots of Pakistanis will say it is true," one said. "The Indians have - by many accounts - had a longstanding connection with Baluch nationalists/separatists in Pakistan, but these are not Taliban and they aren't active in Afghanistan fighting against US/NATO forces. So yes, India gives Pakistan grief (as Pakistan has in India), but I've seen no evidence that it comes from Pakistani or Afghan Taliban.

"As for the consulates, that's a regular refrain from Pakistani government and military," the expert added, "but there's very little US evidence to support the claims of major Indian activity in these locations, which appear to be minor operations with rather few personnel." The former U.S. intelligence officer who made the allegation said that U.S. policymakers do not require the U.S. government to collect intelligence on the issue.

Nice try BTW.
