I was basically the man for Mr Anil Kumar
Gupta who is the joint secretary RAW and his contacts in Pakistan especially in
the Baloch Student Organization, said Kulbhushan Yadav in his voluntarily
confession. Yadav is the Indian spy held by the Pakistani authorities on 3rd March 2016 while infiltrating into Pakistan
via Saravan border area of Balochistan with Iran.
“My purpose was to
hold meetings with Baloch insurgents and carry out activities with their
collaboration. These activities have been of criminal nature. This have been of
anti-national, terrorist leading into the killing of or maiming the Pakistani
citizen also. I realise during this process that RAW is involved in some
activities related to the Baloch liberation movement within Pakistan and the
region around it.” “There are finances which are led into Baloch movement
through various contacts or various ways and means into the Baloch liberation
and the various activities of these Baloch liberation and the RAW handlers go
towards activities which are criminal, which are anti-national which can lead
to maiming or killing of people within Pakistan and mostly these activities
were centred around what I have knowledge is of ports of Gawadar, Pasni,
Jeevani and various other installations which are around the coast damaging to
the various other installations which are in Balochistan. So the activity
seemed to be revolving around trying to create a criminal sort of a mindset
within the Baloch liberation and lead to instability within Pakistan.” he confessed.
Interestingly, and as expected in such cases,
the Indian government criticised the video confessions of Yadav shown by
Pakistan, claiming the man has been tutored and that he might have been
abducted from Iran.
Previously, an Indian statement, issued
immediately after Pakistan announced Yadav’s arrest from Balochistan, had
confirmed that arrested person was an Indian national and former Indian Navy
official. But, contrary to Pakistan’s claim, Indian Ministry of External
Affairs insisted that Kulbushan Yadav was not an official of Research and
Analysis Wing (RAW).
The Ministry of External Affairs of India
said in a statement that their government categorically rejects allegations
that this individual was involved in subversive activities in Pakistan at their
behest. Their enquiries reveal that he apparently was being harassed while
operating a legitimate business from Iran, and while they probe this aspect further,
his presence in Pakistan raises questions, including the possibility of his
abduction from Iran. The statement further said “That the individual claims to make the statements of his own free will
not only challenges credulity but clearly indicates tutoring.”
Contrary to the statement of Indian Ministry
of External Affairs, Hussain Zaidi, a prominent Indian journalist has confirmed
the details of Pakistani version of Kulbushan Yadav’s story proving him an
Indian spy.
Hussain Zaidi, is an investigative journalist
working with top Indian newspapers and author of six books including one based
on Mumbai mafias. He claimed that Kulbushan Yadav was issued a bogus Indian
passport with cover name Husain Mubarak Patel. The passport was said to have
been issued from Thane Regional Passport Office (RPO) but his report quotes
Thane police commissioner Param Bir Singh saying as “We have tried to establish the authenticity of passport but found no
record about it and that no police report was ever filed about this passport.”
The commissioner is pretty much sure that Kulbushan Yadav was not only using a
fake name to portray himself as an Indian Muslim businessman but the passport
carried by him was also not obtained through formal way.
“Kulbushan Yadav’s
main goal was to disrupt implementation of the historic China-Pakistan Economic
Corridor (CPEC) project, with Gwadar port as an extensive target of
activities,” Lt-General Asim Saleem Bajwa said while
adding that “this is nothing short of
state-sponsored terrorism… There can be no clearer evidence of Indian
interference in Pakistan.”
In a separate development, Balochistan Chief
Minister Sanaullah Zehri has claimed to have arrested at least 15 more agent of
RAW from his province, in raids based on the leads provided by Kulbhashan
Yadav.
Pakistan has always been pointing out Indian
hand in areas bordering Afghanistan and Iran and also raised objections on the
presence of Indian consulates near the Pak-Afghan border which are constantly
being used by India to export turbulence in Pakistan through the porous
Pak-Afghan border. But the Western media habitually insisted on the bizarre
assumptions that Pakistan has secret ties with jihadis to launch attacks on
India. Unfortunately, it has less often revealed that it is India actually who
is persistently involved in a proxy war against Pakistan.
There are a number of occasions when US
officials themselves claimed that India is constantly hindering peace to
prevail in Pakistan. For instance, the former US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel
who, during an address on Afghanistan at Oklahoma’s Cameron University in 2011,
had clearly said, "India for some
time has always used Afghanistan as a second front, and India has over the
years financed problems for Pakistan on that side of the border. And you can
carry that into many dimensions...”
If someone is still clueless on to what
Indian strategy could be regarding Pakistan, let's talk about the viral video
of Ajit Doval delivered before he was appointed as National Security Advisor
(NSA) by Indian Prime Minister Modi. Doval while addressing to the crowd of
SASTRA University in 2013 said, "How
do we tackle Pakistan? .. You make it difficult for them (Pakistan) to manage
their internal security... Pakistan's vulnerability is many many times higher
than India's... Taliban have beheaded 23 of their (Pakistani) soldiers...
funding can be countered by giving more funds... more than one-and-a-half times
the funding they have available and they'll be yours.. the Taliban are
mercenaries... go for more of a covert thing."
The speech didn’t surprised me as it
portrayed his personal thoughts, what surprised me actually was that Doval was
appointed as Indian National Security Advisor after promoting such thoughts for
his neighbours.
This time, for once, Pakistan was fortunate
enough to bust the Indian sponsored terror ring well-timed. But what about
other channels of terror financing India is using against us. We as a nation
are conspired against by our neighbor and are locked in a clueless combat
against our own people. Merely asserting that India is using underhand tactics
to destabilize the country is not enough. India besides using direct agents for
the task, is also painting a negative picture of Pakistan around the globe
portraying her as the most violent and a failed state which is quite contrary
to what Pakistan actually is. Now the question remains what better we can do
with ourselves knowing who are real enemy is. And will the world support us in
this open and proved case of severe conspiracy while we level the case with
India.
