A majority of experts are unanimous in their view that the US presence in Afghanistan is primarily to serve their geo-strategic interests in containing China and Russia. Taking the advantage of the regional and international security situations, India has exploited the post 2001 scenario of Afghanistan as an opportunity to use Afghan soil for its devilish designs against Pakistan. India has left no stone unturned to support proxies against Pakistan by exploiting all the available resources in Afghanistan, which unfortunately have effected the bilateral and brotherly relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. India is continuously attempting to justify her relevance in Afghanistan through increased involvement with Afghan Defense Forces, Police, Afghan intelligence Agency(NDS). Besides, a considerable number of development projects and extended economic ties have been exploited to convince Afghan that India is their savior. However, the surfaced facts amply deny the delusional impression. It has by now become very clear that Indian secret service RAW has joined hands with NDS to carryout subversive activities in Pakistan at a time when Pakistan’s war against terror is in decisive phase. Although, RAW’s role in creating problems for Pakistan is no secret, NDS’s willingness to cooperate with Islamabad’s known enemy is being regarded as a major setback to the Pakistan government’s diplomatic and political initiatives of improving bilateral ties.
India has become an expert player in exploiting the security, political, diplomatic, social, and religious affairs of Afghanistan. India seems obsessed to acquire a global status by hook or crook, she is trying to establish her hegemony in the region by creating and manipulating different scenarios. the present effort is to orchestrate a dangerous game of supporting ISIS in Afghanistan on the behest of US and Israel. Experts opine that circumstantially evidences are pointing towards Indian support to ISIS in Afghanistan. The support and guidance of ISIS by US and Israel is no more a secret, even international media has exposed this fact a number of times by exposing their dual and Hippocratic acts are eye opener confirmation of their involvement behind the nurturing of the ISIS, got exposed during Syrian war, when the wounded soldiers of ISIS were given medical treatment by Israeli army inside Israel’s territory. Besides, the matter of supplying weapons and ammunition to ISIS in Iraq by US got exposed, even international media has reported. obviously, at later stage, it was denied by the US officials by having an excuse of mistaken delivery of arms and ammunition to ISIS in Iraq. Both US and the Israel, are on same footing of supporting ISIS in Afghanistan through India. As India enjoys an overwhelming military and intelligence collaboration with Israel and US.
India being boasted as a major donor country to Afghanistan, will continue to exploit the weaknesses of the Afghan government. It will also prevent any serious attempts of peace negotiation with Afghan Taliban as observed in the recently held Moscow conference. As usual, elements in the West, India and Afghanistan are again concocting narratives against Pakistan to falsely portray Pakistan as spoiler of peace. Undoubtedly, Pakistan is being made an escape goat for the failed US policies in Afghanistan. Keeping the prevalent situations and political wrangling in Afghanistan, any peace deal without addressing the illegal occupation of Afghanistan by the foreign troops may not offer any long lasting solution for peace in Afghanistan.
The question arises, what is so appealing in Afghanistan that India has invested billions? Why is India trying to win the goodwill of Afghan people?. India after exploiting the sectarian and ethnic fault lines in Afghanistan, is attempting to gain space for her new maneuvers of using tribal power of Afghan people for sinister scheming against Pakistan. Such maneuvers amid increasing propaganda and pressure on Pakistan to create unfavorable atmosphere for the overall economic outreach of China in the region. The unfolding events has now confirmed that India has established itself in Afghanistan just to bleed Pakistan by cuts incurred through sponsored terrorism. Besides, gaining a foothold to ignite Balochistan insurgency. India in her latest sinister plan, which is being launched with the help of some pessimistic Indian and Pakistan self styled experts or think tanks and their so called pseudo security intellects are trying for falsely linking Pakistan with the emergence and rise of ISIS in Afghanistan. At the moment ISIS is gaining momentum in Afghanistan and its presence and domination in Nangahar, Afghanistan is becoming a grew some reality for the Afghan government. However, it should not be forgotten that the presence of ISIS and its domination in Afghanistan, could be flipped and replicated by our adversaries led by India in Pakistan’s tribal belt. There is a dire need to address every emerging threat and counter every sinister plan, which could bring irreparable damages to our country.
