India diverting world attention from Kashmir issue by using Hafiz Saeed case: Malik | Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has accused India of diverting
the international community’s attention from the long pending Kashmir issue and
the water dispute between both countries by raking up issues like the prosecution
of Jamaat-ud-Daawa chief Hafiz Saeed. In an interview to The Daily Times, Malik
blamed New Delhi for the delay into the 26/11 probe, and said that Pakistan has
done enough to bring the perpetrators to justice. “Whatever we had committed with
India , we have done it... in terms of bringing the accused to justice... We arrested
the mastermind... It is another thing that they ( India ) are changing their statements,”
Malik said. “First the Indians were saying that Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was the mastermind
and then they started pointed fingers at Hafiz Saeed. It is an organized kind
of campaign against Pakistan to counter and divert attention from Kashmir and
the water issue,” he added. Malik reiterated that Islamabad has evidence regarding
India ’s hand in Baloch insurgency. “We have proof of Indian involvement in the
insurgency in Balochistan... and I say this on the basis of information extracted
from those arrested in this connection... we have the evidence that these trained
people (insurgents) are entering into Pakistan from Afghanistan,” he said. The
Gilani Government has already shared its apprehensions and information regarding
India ’s involvement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai , Malik said. “Our information
is that India is involved in training insurgents,” he added. When enquired about
the US apprehensions over the presence of Taliban’s leadership council (Shura)
in Quetta , Balochistan, Malik said there was no specific information regarding
the presence of top Taliban commanders in the tribal areas. “There is no evidence
of the presence of the so-called Taliban shura in Quetta or for that matter, in
Balochistan... there is no specific evidence or information... they gave us some
names and this does not work... our intelligence agencies followed the information
provided by the US and our law enforcement agencies acted and conducted raids
on the basis of this information but we did not find Taliban there,” he said.
Malik claimed that Washington had till now had provided vague information about
the Taliban, and insisted that specific inputs were needed to take action against
the Taliban. “They are just giving us the names... just like John in America .
We need exact information. I think their ( US ) paid sources have passed on some
disinformation to them… they have better intelligence and information gathering
resources than us... they should have specific information before asking us to
take action,” he added. |
