Indian Army admits carrying out covert ops in Pakistan.

[cyphercide]

“Our main task was to combat the rising trend of state-sponsored terrorism by the ISI and we had developed contacts across the Line of Control in a bid to infiltrate Hafiz Saeed’s inner circle,” an official who served with the controversial Technical Services Division (TSD) said.

Asked for an official response, an army spokesperson said, “The unit has been disbanded. Details of the unit, which was the subject matter of an inquiry, are only known to the Chief and a few senior officers. It is for the defence ministry now to initiate any further inquiries.”

The spook unit was set up after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks on a defence ministry directive asking for the creation of covert capability.

I don't understand the big revelation here. It was a spook unit that *gasp* spied on Pakistan . That's what a spook unit is supposed to do.

All hard work gone down the drain, thanks to petty politics of Congress party.

He misused(allegedly) the unit to carry out his personal agendas. You can't fault the Congress party for following that lead or for setting up an enquiry.

The military intelligence unit set up by former army chief General VK Singh was involved in sensitive covert operations in Pakistan and was even on the trail of 26/11 mastermind and Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed, officials associated with it have told HT.

What, so these Army officials just went to the media and blabbed all this out?

Seriously what.

As Dillinger said, making this information public compromises the lives of the agents who are still active. That is a serious act of treason, selling state secrets for money.

Thank you for releasing sensitive information. Thank you for having revealed a covert ops, the assets cultivated by which will still be perhaps operating in some capacity or other- or will at least till they eat a bullet. I know who holds this nation's interest before their own swine-like greed.

The unit was disbanded long ago when charges of misuse of office were brought against the ex-general.

But why did those Army officials tell it all to the media?

Were they given official clearance to speak to the press about it?

Or was it for money.

Pretty sure both the Indian and Pakistani armies do these covert operations. India has a large population that its very easy to penetrate them. Not only that but Indian politicians are incredibly corrupt so I wouldn't be surprised if they work for Pakistani agents behind the scenes.

The BJP fanboys contend that these are deliberate leaks engineered by the current government to defame V.K. Singh.

Very soon your peanut shop will be disbanded and your dear bjp will go back to the business of handing over our operatives in VIP flights escorted by ministers

Nice.. Yet another Pakistani who agrees that international terrorists are Pakistani operatives. Prime example of wild animals in the backyard syndrome. Think of you operatives next time you read/hear about a bomb taking out dozens of Pakistani civilians or an IED killing a high ranking Pakistani Army officer...You wont have to wait much longer..

J&K is integral part of Pakistan, you idiot.

And what was Musharraf's admission of supporting militants in J&K. An olive branch ? And frankly, in today's world Pakistan will find it an uphill battle legitimizing any of its action at all.. And don't worry.. For every peanut, we will send you back a dozen.. The days of IK Gujral are long gone and forgotten..



Mar gaye Modi ko Maarne waale ...

This was a top secret report which was "leaked" to the press just after a former Chief of Army joined the leading opposition party.
