QUETTA: Frontier Corps (FC) Inspector General Major General Sher Afgan Saturday said Indian spy agency RAW and Afghan intelligence agency were involved in militancy and terrorism in Balochistan.

“Indian consulates in Afghanistan are involved in random acts of terrorism in Balochistan,” he said. There is no indigenous armed movement in Balochistan, he said, and added, “The arrest of the Indian spy has proven Indian state-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan.”

The IG also claimed that facilitators and other agents linked with Kulbushan Jadhav, the RAW spy arrested from Balochistan, have been arrested by security forces. He did not give further details about the arrests, but said, “The Indian agent entered Pakistan from Sarawan.”

FC’s top officer said that India was actively involved in terrorism and subversive activities in Balochistan and was hatching conspiracies to derail the multi-billion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Referring to the presence of the militant Islamic State’s Khorasan Chapter across the border in Afghanistan, the inspector general stated, “There is no IS in Balochistan.” He added that IS has as yet failed to establish a foothold in Balochistan as the culture and traditions of the province have so far rejected the militant group’s ideology.

The IG FC said security forces have conducted successful intelligence-based operations and have been successful in eliminating all no-go areas in the province. “Currently, there are no no-go areas in Balochistan.”
