Indian intelligence agency RAW involved in violent incidents: Hamid Sunday, March 2, 2008
ISLAMABAD (APP): Caretaker Minister for Interior Lt. Gen. ® Hamid Nawaz Khan Sunday said there are reports that Indian intelligence agency RAW was involved in violent incidents in the country.“We are sure that RAW is involved and there is no doubt in it,” he told a private television (Aaj).
He said terrorist activities could not be sustained for long period without the help of foreign elements and there is growing perception that there might also be some other countries which are involved in these activities.
About the recent Swat incident in which a police officer was martyred and later his funeral procession was also targeted by terrorists, he strongly condemned the incident and said it seems like personal enmity and hatred against the victim.
To a question, the Minister said the Interior Ministry was studying a plan to install scanners and other equipment at cities’ exit/entry points to avoid any untoward incident.
Elaborating the point, he said three to four types of equipment are being considered to keep check on individuals and vehicles, for clearance of routes and for extensive video surveillance.
The use of this technology would also be helpful in post-event investigations, he said.
Re: Hindustan carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan
What Afghanistan, a puppet country governed by NATO Allies and India,
U r right!! RAW is such peace lover, that it have not even done anything wrong or killed a single innocent in their lifetime, RAW agents are trained to be preahers of Peace and Harmony, and that is the reason the turmoil of Srilanka and Nepal.. Gen. Hamid sure have lost his mind when he blamed RAW, as he might have no idea that ONLY ISI will destablize th country and MOSAAD, CIA and RAW are there to protect Pakistan…

So your rationale for blaming RAW for internal strife in Pakistan is that "since ISI does this sort of thing, RAW must be doing it too"?
There is a lot of difference between the two. ISI complicity in Kashmir violence and Taleban interfaces are well documented. I don't think RAW wants to and even if they do, if they are capable of, reciprocating that.

no need for sarcasm, I was trying to say why hesitate taking Afghanistan’s name when we know either its their govt or its people working against Pakistan.

I don't exactly remember but i think it was in mid 2005 or 2006, when a racket of RAW agents were caught in Balochistan, It was a news a that time, and India has to beg to USA to ask Pakistan to release those top rankers... RAW's role in forming Bangladesh is evident so, u should be very very careful when pointing fingers at others...
Re: Hindustan carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan
^ I disagree with that train of thought and the reasoning is right there in your argument.
Do you seriously believe RAW had any significant role in BD breaking away? If Mujib had been allowed to form the government per election mandate, do you think it would have happened? Or if the Pakistan army hadn't resorted to such attack on Bengali population, do you think that whole population would have stood up against Pakistan?
India did have a significant role but that was after the fact and it wasn't any RAW operation. When 10 million refugees stream across the border, our own economic and security status were threatened. Even then the first major attacks were by PAF on several Indian bases simultaneously which marked the beginning of the war.
My intention is not to debate the 1971 war here but just pointing out that we have to defend ourselves and you don't get to say "you hit me back first" in a charge sheet!

StirCrasy, believe It or not. On my previous visit to Indian, I had been informed by your people that RAW is very much involved in financing and training suicide bombers. Believe It or not.
Re: Hindustan carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan
Here is what I beleive.....If RAW really wanted to de-stabilize Pakistan, they would not be so inefficient at it. Pakistan is going down due to its own actions.
Re: Hindustan carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan
^StirCrasey, Raw has been very much active in Khi and other parts of Pakistan. There is no doubt, therefore these are not rumours but known facts. Its hard to find articles, which might back me as I argue.
However I have explicit labelled those words with "rumour" which I personally believe are yet to be officially recognized as facts.
Therefore dont worry. Im no fan of conspiracy theories, but at times they do become true. As much as rumours can become reality.
Thus I believe RAW is a very dominant member for terrorism activities on national basis in Pakistan.
The way ISI was responsible for the creation of Taliban with the help of foreign powers.
These are facts and need to be accepted, otherwise you are living in isolation with missing information regarding Indo-Pak crises. Which are very much still existing.
Re: Hindustan carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan
I think RAW could be behind it because agencies (not limited to RAW) do some pretty unethical things to get their job(s) done and that applies to all known/unknown spy agencies whether it be Mossad, ISI, RAW, CIA, M2, etc...etc..etc....
But to outright deny RAW cannot be behind the destabilization of Pakistan, is a bit um 'i'm too proud to see the truth' and naive in my opinion.
And it's not about milling rumors as some suggest. It's about discussing it for what it is. I would take a Pakistani's word on it because its happening in Pakistan, just as you would ask an indian about terrorism in India and more than likely the fingers will point to ISI. Obviously.
