Ah right!
Fight is on between Indo-Pak Rajas and maha-maha-Munna-rajas.
A Munna-raja from Pakistan posts a link to a link to a link to Prez Musharraf.
Then whole bunch of Munnah-rajas from India clasp their dhotis and jump in the fray.
and guess what, no body care to quote the ACTUAL interview and discuss Prez Musharraf in a sane, grown up manner. But that off course is too much to expect from Munnah rajas. Because Munnah is Munnah and not a grown up.
Here is a link to spiegel. Read the interview and then discuss the subject of this thread.
SPIEGEL Interview with Pervez Musharraf: Obama ‘Is Aiming at the Right Things’ - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International
Here is the part where India/RAW comes up.
SPIEGEL: Are you disappointed by Obama?
Musharraf: No, he is aiming at the right things. He is showing intentions of improving the dialogue with the Muslim world, which is good. He is right when he says that more forces must be deployed in Afghanistan. There is an intention of increasing funding for Pakistan, which is also good. But he also has to understand the reality in Pakistan and I am not sure he does.
SPIEGEL: And how is the situation?
Musharraf: One of the realities is that the Indian intelligence service RAW is interfering in our country. For example in Balochistan, our largest province bordering Iran and Afghanistan. One of the most brutal insurgents against our forces, Brahamdagh Bugti …
SPIEGEL: … the grandson of Nawab Bugti, a tribal leader who was killed three years ago in a battle with the Pakistani army …
Musharraf: … he is sitting in Kabul, protected by the Afghan government and provided with weapons and money by the Indian intelligence agency RAW. He has his own training camps and sends his fighters to Balochistan where they terrorize people and damage the civil infrastructure. RAW is also interfering in the Swat Valley, I know that. Where do all these Taliban fighters in Swat get their arms and money from? From Afghanistan. The Indian consulates in Jalalabad and Kandahar only exist to be a thorn in the side of Pakistan.
So the discussion starts with emphasis on Prez Obama’s policies in Af.
- Musharraf Agrees with Prez Obama’s approach
except
-
Prez Musharraf is not happy with USA letting India operate two consulates in Af, the one in Jalalabad and the other in Kandhar. This is due to historic links between India and Pakistan’s ethnic groups.
-
Prez Musharraf is not happy with USA letting Afghanistan given shelter to Bugti’s son.
Where Muharraf may be wrong.
-
Taliban menace has been in Swat and FATA LONG before 2001 and long before Indian consulates in Jalalabad and Kandhar. Vicious militant organizations like TNSM cannot simply be blamed on India.
-
Weapons for Taliban. They come right from Pakistani tribal areas. There are HUGE arms manufacturing and smuggling places OPENLY operating in tribal area. Anyone familiar with Landi Kotal, BARA, or Darra Adam Khel knows that you can buy a pen-pistol all the way to heavy machine guns from these places. All you need is money. And money for Islamists comes from other Islamists like Saudi charities. While money for ethnic groups comes from India, Russia and Iran.
-
Jesh Muhammad and Sipah sahaba have existed and prospered in Punjab and FATA LONG before post-911 world and Indian consulates in Jalalabad and Kandhar. So it will be childish if anyone blames JM or SS on India.
-
The only part where India can get blamed for happens to be in the ethnic parties and groups. Mainly the three groups do get financial and moral support from India. They are ethnic groups/sub gorups in Sindh, Balochistan, Karachi, and Frontier.
However the ethnic groups in Karachi aka MQM and one in Frontier aka ANP both are in the Pak Government now and both of them are fully supporting Pak army. This leaves Baloch and Sindhi ethnic groups. And only Balochi ethnic groups like BLA are doing anything that can be perceived as anti-Pakistan.
So the Indian influence on Pakistani trouble maker is there but it must be viewed in a very limited scope, instead of blaming every lawless issue in Pakistan on a pathetic of an agency called RAW.
