Why this unusual hue and cry over the arrest of Kul Bushan Yadev, the agent of RAW in Pakistan? The Raw had ever been very active in Pakistan and it is not for the first time that a RAW operative has been arrested. Let us look back to 23rd September 2015; the Security forces of Pakistan in collaboration with the Intelligence agencies of Pakistan arrested two individuals working for Indian intelligence agency RAW from Parachinar in Kurram tribal agency. The Indian agents were arrested after an intelligence based operation (IBO) was carried out by security agencies. Shahidullah the Assistant Political Agent of Kurram agency that time said talking to media, “During investigation the arrested individuals have confessed to working for the Indian agency RAW.” He further added that the arrested individuals were involved in terrorism related activities and sectarian attacks in Kurram agency. Earlier in August 2015, the law enforcement agencies had arrested four suspects linked to India’s RAW spy agency from Lahore. Besides Balochistan, finding RAW’s footprints in Fata and Karachi is also a routine matter. Different defense analysts link the presence of the RAW operatives in Pakistan with the statement of Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval who said that it is a part of the Indian strategy to weaken Pakistan by promoting terrorism and separatism with the help of the RAW agents.
Before that in early 70s we come across Ravinder Kaushik who was recruited by RAW and was given extensive training in Delhi for two years. According to the media reports Ravinder Kaushik underwent Circumcision so he could pass as a Muslim. He was taught Urdu, given religious education and acquainted with the topography and other details about Pakistan. In 1975 he was sent to Pakistan and given the name of Nabi Ahmed Shakir. Somehow or the other he got a trivial type of job in government sector from where he tried to pass on valuable information to RAW which he thought was of great help to the Indian defense forces. He couldn’t conceal his identity for a long time from the intelligence agencies of Pakistan and was soon caught red-handed. As per tradition he was totally disowned by RAW and the Indian authorities after being caught. He died a miserable death and the Indian authorities provided him no help no support, however Indian Media started a campaign to have his efforts acknowledged after his death. In 2013 the Baghdad police station of Karachi arrested another agent of RAW during raid in a house on the basis of information provided by the intelligence agencies. The fake name of that agent was Syed Alam and he was found involved in so many sectarian killings and other terrorist activities in Karachi. Several fake CNIC’s were also found in his room an Indian passport too during the raid. In short there is a long list of agents who were sent to Pakistan by the RAW but luckily none of them could be successful in hiding himself from the eyes of the intelligence agencies of Pakistan.
It is a reality accepted by everyone that Pakistan has world’s one of the few best intelligence agencies as well as very skillfully trained and devotedly talented law-enforcement agencies. For the last thirty years, Pakistan has been facing the ever-worst interference of different international intelligence agencies including the MOSAD, the KHAD, the CIA the NDS and the RAW. They all have joined hand together to destabilize Pakistan with their heinous crimes but they have yet not succeeded in their plans yet. It is only because of the unbeatable and undefeatable professional skills of the intelligence and security agencies of Pakistan. It is something very deplorable that Pakistan’s closest neighbour India lets no opportunity of destabilizing Pakistan go waste. In spite of the fact that Pakistan has always tried to create an atmosphere of cordiality and harmony with India by doing all that is possible but this unlucky neighbour of Pakistan never appreciates or encourages any of such efforts rather India’s response to such efforts is always in shape of some conspiracy against Pakistan. Whenever Pakistan struggles to arrange peace-talks between the two countries, India certainly does something to mar this effort. In this way the peace process always remains incomplete. We have ample examples of this non-cooperation from the Indian side. Be it the Pathankot incident or the Mumbai blasts or the so-called Boat-Incident, India has always been involved in a dirty blame game against Pakistan. It is the responsibility of the International forces to take India to task for this nonsense behavior.
