Pakistan has handed over to India comprehensive evidence of Indian involvement in a number of terrorist acts on its soil.
According
to sources, a dossier containing proofs of India`s involvement in
subversive activities in Pakistan was handed over by Prime Minister
Yousuf Raza Gilani to his Indian counterpart Dr Manmohan Singh during
their recent meeting at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
Pakistan has
also shared these evidences with the United States and Afghanistan,
specifically asking the latter to prevent the use of its soil for
disruptive activities against it.
Although the information given
to India is being kept highly secret, broad outlines of the dossier
available with Dawn reveal details of Indian contacts with those
involved in attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team and the Manawan
police station.
Operatives of RAW who remained in touch with the
perpetrators of the attacks have been identified and proofs of their
interaction have been attached.
Besides, description of Indian
arms and explosives used in the attack on the Sri Lankan team has been
made part of the dossier. Names and particulars of the perpetrators, who
illegally entered Pakistan from India and joined their accomplices who
had reached Lahore from Waziristan, have been mentioned.
Furthermore,
the evidence of Indian link lists the safe houses being run by RAW in
Afghanistan, where terrorists are trained and launched for missions in
Pakistan. The dossier also broadly covers the Indian connection in
terror financing in Pakistan.
A substantial part of the shared
material deals with the Balochistan insurgency and Indian linkages with
the insurgents, particularly Bramdagh Bugti, Burhan and Sher Khan.
Pictures of their meetings with Indian operatives are part of the
evidence, which also describes Bugti`s visit to India and the meetings
he had with Indian secret service personnel.
It makes mention of
the India-funded Kandahar training camp, where Baloch insurgents,
particularly those from Bugti clan, were being trained and provided arms
and ammunition for sabotage activities in Balochistan.
The
sources claim that Dr Singh agreed to “look into Pakistani claims” and
to take “corrective action” if proven. He is said to have assured Mr
Gilani that India is against interference in other countries and
Pakistan`s stability was important for them.
A joint
communiqué, released after the Gilani-Singh meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh,
reflected information-sharing because it included reference to
Balochistan and the information available to Pakistan; reiteration of
Indian commitment to a stable and democratic Pakistan; and an agreement
on sharing real time credible and actionable information on any future
terrorist threats.
Mr Gilani`s close aides confirmed that in his
meeting with Mr Singh he took up the issue of India`s involvement in
the attack on the Sri Lankan team and other subversive acts.
Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said “Yes, these issues were discussed.”
