Pakistan is using terrorists to wage their war against professional and superior Indian forces, says a Pentagon report. In an assessment of safe havens of terror in Pakistan, the US Department of Defence in its report to the Congress says that the country is using terrorist groups as proxies to counter the superior Indian military. A pti report says,“Afghan-and Indian-focussed terrorists continue to operate from Pakistan territory to the detriment of Afghan and regional stability. Pakistan uses these proxy forces to hedge against the loss of influence in Afghanistan and to counter India’s superior military,” the Pentagon told the Congress in its latest six-monthly report on the current situation in Afghanistan.
The report further adds that – “These relationships run counter to Pakistan’s public commitment to support Afghan-led reconciliation. Such groups continue to act as the primary irritant in Afghan-Pakistan bilateral relations.”
Referring to the attack on the Indian Consulate in Herat, the Pentagon said that the US Department of State announced that the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayebba was responsible for the attack. While India continues to support Afghanistan, believing a secure and stable Afghanistan will benefit the region and facilitate economic corridors into Central Asia.
“India has shown increased interest in Afghan security assistance, though activities in the area remain limited. India currently offers India based training to ANSF personnel across a number of specialties and the Indian Government committed to expand this programme. India does not provide direct military support or training in Afghanistan,” the report said.
Pakistan’s deteriorating administrative conditions and increasing terror attacks in prime security zones has been of prime concern for international community and could have a tremendous impact on the security conditions in South Asia. With NATO forces moving out from Afghanistan, there is rising concern in India. This report is a reaffirmation of the belief that Pakistan is not only a safe haven for terrorists but they are key players in the nation’s anti-India schemes.
