| Pakistani 'state actors' destabilising India: minister |
| 2014-12-01 |
| [DAWN] India's home affairs minister on Saturday accused Pak "state actors" of attempting to destabilise his country. Home Affairs Minister Rajnath Singh alleged at a security conference in India's northeast that Pakistain was still supporting faceless myrmidons fighting Indian troops in Kashmire. Mr Singh pointed to a guerilla attack earlier this week on an army patrol in India-held Kashmire in which at least 10 people were killed. "It is unfortunate Pakistain does not mend its ways," he said, singling out Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligenceagency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir... as one of the "state actors" seeking to disturb India's security. "I do not hesitate in saying Pak state actors have a role in destabilising India," Mr Singh said and repeated a longstanding demand that Pakistain rein in Lion of Islams. Mr Singh's remarks come on the heels of the Saarc (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) summit held earlier this week in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu that was reportedly overshadowed by India-Pakistain rivalry and ended with little progress towards regional integration. Since 1989 about a dozen Kashmiri groups, seeking independence or a merger of the territory with Pakistain, have been fighting Indian troops -- a battle that has left tens of thousands of people dead, most of them civilians. |
