India will be Taliban's next target: Ex-NSA Narayanan - The Times of India


NEW DELHI: India will be the next target of terror groups like Taliban operating in Afghanistan if they succeeded in capturing power in the war-ravaged country, former national security adviser MK Narayanan said here on Monday.

The West Bengal governor also said what was particularly worrying was that Pakistan shows no inclination to desist from pursuing "high risk" strategies, and it appears determined to support Jihadist elements as a strategic instrumentality to keep India off balance.

Narayanan said given India's location, it is easy to see how the threat posed by terrorism — most of which emanates from outside the country's borders — is dependent on what prevails in the volatile and difficult neighbourhood.

"Surrender to extremist forces like Taliban in Afghanistan, and Pakistan's willingness to hold unconditional talks with Taliban have the gravest consequences for us," he said addressing the first Radha Vinod Raju memorial lecture organised on the occasion of National Investigation Agency Day.

Late RV Raju was the first director general of NIA, which was set up in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attack in 2008.

Narayanan, also former chief of Intelligence Bureau, said in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a combination of state weakness and the presence of myriad terrorist groups in both the countries constitutes a direct threat.

"Taliban extremism in both the countries shows no signs of muting itself ... the basic weakness in administration there and presence of various terror groups, including Taliban, allowed them to do what they like. If they succeeded in Afghanistan, India is their next target. That has always been the premise and presumption and therefore we need to be on our guard," he said.

this jack *** should first focus on the 20 plus separatist movements in India before starting to accuse the rest of the world for these things....

How many of people do you listen get killed annually by your so called 20+ separatist groups ??Now compare that with what Taliban kills daily.So who should be focused upon ??

Any blowback in Indian including Kashmir from Taliban will be squarely blamed on Pakistan. This will further isolate Pakistan from international community making it, as MMS spoke in UNGA, an epicenter of terrorism. So it in Pakistan's interest to stop these groups within your borders.

You created this monster called Taliban, now it is upon Pakistan to destroy it.

blame game does not bring back the dead loved ones.

its not India's responsibility to focus on our problems, just deal with your own **** before trying to remind the world of ours, and as for the number of terror organisations I stand corrected you have 65 organisations to deal with
65 terror groups active in India: Govt - The Hindu
try and google naxalism etc on India's terrorist incidents, I am not starting a dick measuring contest but giving plain facts....

There is no blame game here. RIP to all who were killed by Taliban in the last ten years. Taliban is a monster, and Pakistan has all the wherewithal to destroy these apes, but they are not doing so, since there is a section of Pakistan Army that believe Taliban to be strategic assets.

As I said earlier

blame game will not help anyone, alive or dead

Unless you recognize the problem, how would you find the solution?

this is a stereotype perpetrated by the mass media, who in his right mind lets a thing that may or may not benefit him in the future kill him in the present, what you are saying has definately been true in the past but now the military has realized that the taliban and other proxies can never be trusted

Then you have not seen my posts on this topic

Let Pakistanis figure out our issues.

Ask not what pakistan can do for you

Ask what you can do for Pakistan.

Thank you
