Indian intelligence being operated from Afghanistan, claims Pakistani general
2017-07-16
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A senior Mighty Pak Army general has claimed that the Indian intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW
... India's Research and Analysis Wing, Pakistain's equivalent of the Boogie Man...
), is being operated against Pakistain from the Afghan soil.

General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of Pakistain, made the remarks during a ceremony on Friday.

Insisting that peace and tranquility in Afghanistan is key for security in the region, Gen. Hayat claimed that RAW wanted to create instability in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
He also alleged that the Indian intelligence wanted to target the major regional projects, including the China and Pakistain Economic Corridor.

The latest allegations by Gen. Hayat came as the Afghan officials have long been rejecting to allow its soil to be used against the other nations, insisting on generous contributions by the regional countries to eliminate the menace of terrorism threatening the region.

The Afghan officials are saying that the Haqqani terrorist network and the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group are having safe havens in Pakistain from where they carry out deadly attacks in Afghanistan, a claim which has also been confirmed by the United States on several occasions.

The US Department of Defense in its report also said last month that "Afghan oriented holy warrior groups, including the Taliban and Haqqani Network, retain freedom of action inside Pak territory and benefit from support from elements of the Pak Government."

The report further added "Although Pak military operations have disrupted some holy warrior sanctuaries, certain murderous Moslem groups--such as the Taliban and the Haqqani Network--were able to relocate and continue to operate in and from Pakistain. The United States continues to convey to Pakistain at all levels the importance of taking action against all terrorist and murderous Moslem groups.

MoD reacts as Pakistani general claims Afghan soil used by Indian intelligence
[Khaama] The Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan has said the Afghan government will never allow the use of its soil as terrorist launch pad against the neighboring countries.

The Ministry of Defense spokesman General Dawlat Waziri made the remarks during a press conference in Kabul.

Apparently gesturing towards the remarks of a top Pakistani general regarding the India intelligence being operated from Afghanistan, Gen. Waziri said “The government will never allow Afghanistan to be used as the centers of terrorism against the other countries.”
