Indian elements in Afghanistan destabilising Pakistan: Pak senator

      The chairman of the Pakistani Senate's Foreign Relation Committee, Senator Mushahid Hussain, today alleged that Indian elements in Afghanistan are responsible for destabilising Pakistan. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar titled "Terrorism -- National and International" on Tuesday, Hussain accused India of having adopted the principle of its politician guru and master strategist Chanakya, who postulated that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'. "Our neighbour India, somehow takes vicarious pleasure in the fact that Pakistan is facing the menace of terrorism, which is a common enemy of mankind and perhaps India is basing its premise on the old principle of Chanakya (Indian politician, strategist and writer from 350 BC-275 BC). "So, in that perspective, there is a view in Pakistan that from Afghanistan, Indian elements are destabilising Pakistan," said Hussain. India hopes to deliver goods to Afghanistan through the Iranian port of Chahbahar, and this has triggered fears in Pakistan that it is being encircled. Pakistan is also consistently alleging Indian spy agencies for fomenting trouble in restive Balochistan province. The issue also figured in the India- Pakistan joint declaration issued by Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan at Sharm-al-Sheikh earlier this year. Hussain said if India doesn't stop playing games, the corridor of terrorism might end up in India as well. "There is a corridor of terror which is now stretching from Iraq and it may end up in India if India does not stop playing those games. This issue is too serious to be confined to gloating or exulting to problems faced by neighbours. We are at the same boat," he added. Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik, in a recent interview to a television channel, had alleged that India was encouraging unrest within his country by funding Taliban fighters based along the border with Afghanistan. However, Defence Minister A K Antony today refuted Pakistan's charge of India funding Taliban and terms the claim as "baseless".
