Musharraf accuses India of supporting terrorist activities inside Pakistan​

11 Oct, 2010, 10.55AM IST,AGENCIES

WASHINGTON: Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has reportedly accused India's external intelligence agency , Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), of supporting terrorist activities inside Pakistan.

Musharraf said that India was involved in carrying out terrorist activities inside Pakistan, and is also supporting terrorists in Balochistan, the Daily Times reports.

He also claimed that Balochistan's Jamhoori Watan Party leader Brahamdagh Bugti was receiving aid from India and Afghanistan.

It is pertinent to mention that the former President had earlier admitted that Pakistan trained underground militant groups to fight against India in Kashmir.

During his interview to German magazine Der Spiegel, Musharraf said: "The West was ignoring the resolution of the Kashmir issue, which is the core issue of Pakistan. We expected the West -- especially the United States and important countries like Germany -- to resolve the Kashmir issue. Has Germany done that?"

When asked if that (the West ignoring the Kashmir issue) gave Pakistan the right to train underground fighters, Musharraf had replied, "Yes, it is the right of any country to promote its own interests when India is not prepared to discuss Kashmir at the United Nations, and is not prepared to resolve the dispute in a peaceful manner."

However, Musharraf has also done a volte-face on the controversial statement, saying that he had never said so!

"All these 'Mujahideen' groups got created on their own. I've never said that and there was a little misunderstanding in what I was saying, that got politicised in Pakistan and then people writing in India. But that's not the case," Musharraf said.

"I'm not that naive to pass such a comment. There is no question of the army, intelligence or the ISI creating 'Mujahideen' groups, training them and sending them in. That's not the case and it does not require to be done," he added.

Earlier when Mushy had clearly stated that Pakistan supported militancy in India, everyone on this forum were trying to derive new meaning, to suit their liking, from his straight forward sentences.
Now that he has given another statement which is as per their liking, people will bluntly agree to it.

Former President Pervez Musharraf, in an interview with Indian TV channel Times Now, has blamed India for supporting militancy in Balochistan.

In the interview Musharraf says that India is ‘aiding and abetting Militancy in Balochistan.’ He goes on to say:

We have evidence and proof that Baramdagh who carries out attacks is sitting in Kabul, he visits Delhi and is recieved by RAW.

Just recently, when Musharraf was asked in an interview with Der Spiegel why he had formed militant underground groups to fight India in Kashmir, he had replied that “they were indeed formed. The government turned a blind eye because they wanted India to discuss Kashmir.”

However, in his latest interview with CNN-IBN, Musharraf said the ISI did not train Kashmiri militants, but admits they got shelter in Pakistan.

There is no question of the army, intelligence or the ISI creating Mujahideen groups, training them and sending them in… Hizbul Mujahideen group was created in your (Indian) part of Kashmir and then they ran away from there after military atrocities.

The former president has been engaged in a war of words with political rivals and former allies, and has made some startling revelations since he launched his party in London.

I agree with him just like Indian users here agree with him that "Pakistan supported terrrrrr against India".
