Malik blames RAW for Baloch insurgency | Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has once again blamed Indian intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), for fanning the ongoing armed insurgency in Balochistan. Talking to media persons before a cabinet meeting in Gwadar, Malik
accused New Delhi of trying to incite anti-Pakistan feelings among the Baloch
people. "The Pakistani government would frustrate all such plans by paying full
attention to the problems of Balochistan," The Daily Times quoted Malik, as saying.
This is not the first time that Pakistan has accused India of harbouring extremist
activities on its soil. Malik, on several occasions, has claimed that Islamabad
has critical evidence to prove India's hand in the Baloch insurgency, and that
it would table it at appropriate time. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had also
said that Pakistan has evidence regarding New Delhi's involvement in Baloch insurgency,
and that it would raise the issue at an 'appropriate time and forum'. "I had discussed
the issue with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Sharm-el- Sheikh in Egypt.
There is evidence of Indian involvement in Balochistan, however, it is up to the
government to decide which forum it will raise the issue on," Gilani had said
couple of days ago. Responding to a question about the government's reconciliatory
plans, Malik said the government is pledged to provide all those rights to the
Baloch people that have been denied to them until now. "It is the top most priority
of the government to give every Baloch his genuine rights," Malik said. When asked
about the government's strategy to deal with those leaders who keep harping about
an independent Balochistan, Malik said he viewed the Baloch Republican Party chief
Brahamdagh Bugti as his " brother''. "We will try to convince all disillusioned
forces in Balochistan. Justice will be done with everyone affected in the past.
All reservations of the Baloch people will be addressed through democratic means,"
Malik said. |
