It is now pertinent hint that India has never accepted Pakistan since its inception and time and again certain roguish activities and blame game against Pakistan make captions. Recently, Indian Navy Commander was arrested while crossing Iranian border of Pakistan. This Navy Commander named as Commander Kulbhushan Yadav based in the Chabahar, an Iranian dock city and he was detained in the Chaman area of Baluchistan where he was trying to enter with false identity name as Hussain Mubarak Patel. Upon his arrest he identified himself as a spy of RAW who was assigned special duties to glitch Pakistan’s stability through various means. In a recent confessional video he gave all details of his whereabouts and mischievous acts in which he was involved.
This is not the first time an Indian agent has been arrested in Pakistan. Prior to that present Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval who is always sputtering about Pakistan was working clandestinely for 7 years in the Pakistani territory. Moreover cases of Ravinder Kaushik, Gopal Das and Kashmir Singh also tell the plotted tale of RAW. This shows that India has a well-established network of espionage in Pakistan and RAW keeps on funding certain elements to tremor Pakistan’s stability. When the case of Kulbhushan Yadav was brought into light and Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan was summoned upon alleged activities of RAW in Pakistan, Indian media as usual turned up in favour of its agent. The New Indian Express newspaper in their very own report claimed Yadav as a businessman who owns a small ship and has nothing to do with the Indian intelligence agency RAW. But their so claimed statement proved wrong when Yadav confessed about his identity as serving naval officer and admitted that he rendered his services to RAW. In a video released on 29 March, 2016 Yadav disclosed that he joined RAW at the end of year 2013 and was deputed to provide info about Karachi and Baluchistan. He wore a number 41558Z and belonged to Indian Navy technical department. He joined National Defence Academy in 1987 and later inducted in Indian Navy as an officer in January, 1991 and served navy till 2001. When Indian Parliament was attacked he started contributing to intelligence agency for gathering of intelligence within India. In 2003 he established a small business in Iranian port city Chabahar and started spying from there too with a code name Hussain Mubarak Patel. He made several visits to Karachi in 2003 and 2004 for intelligence information on behalf of RAW. When in 2013 he was appointed as an officer by RAW his prime duty was to deteriorate law and order situation in Karachi. Yadav confessed about his involvement in high profile attack in Karachi also. He was supposed to remain in contact with Baloch insurgents and confirmed that Baloch Liberation Army is being funded by RAW. Handlers of RAW wanted that Baloch liberation should come against Pakistan and demand separate land for themselves. He admitted for establishing a network of operators, providing them funds by RAW and arranging and trafficking people for terrorist activities in Pakistan. He was specifically tasked to carry out bomb blasts and sabotage CPEC by any means. Most of the intelligence operations by him were done in coastal area of Gwadar, Pasni and Jewaani. He self-proclaimed for separation of Karachi and Baluchistan from Pakistan. He also accepted the responsibility of training Baloch separatist terrorists to create chaos and unrest in Pakistan particularly Baluchistan. By such clear confession of Indian spy one can surely say about presence of strong network of RAW in Pakistan which is not limited to just Baluchistan but other provinces also.
Indian malevolent activities in Baluchistan were already mentioned by Pakistan on various forums and this too should be highlighted again on United Nations platform. At least world should know how India is sponsoring state terrorism in Pakistan. It is a matter of concern for Iran also, to take serious notice of such kind of activities transported through its border to Pakistan. On the other hand when Joint Investigation Team from Pakistan visited Pathankot airbase, Indian fanatics protested their arrival and tried to harass. At present when Pakistan is showing seriousness in eradicating terrorism not only from its territory but region also, such moves by India will definitely disrupt peace initiatives in process. Yadav’s confessions have raised serious question about India’s sincerity towards Pakistan which so far seems reasonably cynical. Pakistan has assured full cooperation in Pathankot incident and now its India’s turn to accept its fault and provide substantiations about this arrested guy.
