‘India aided terrorist activities from Afghan soil, violated UN charter’

ISLAMABAD: India had been using Afghan soil against Pakistan since 2001 by investing about $3 billion on infrastructure, training of Afghan forces and other projects to establish a network for its permanent foothold to achieve its overt and covert designs.

According to experts, by sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan from Afghan territory, India had violated different articles of the United Nations Charter including Article 2(4), Article 41(3) of the Vienna Convention, and Paras 2 and 5 of UN Security Council Resolution 1373 of 2001. Taliban, now in control of Afghanistan, by setting up an interim government, Indian designs turned into as faux pas for the Modi’s government which had acted as regional’s top spoiler.

It has been established that India supported and trained Daesh/TTP elements to use as proxy tools for its nefarious designs against Pakistan, Afghanistan and the region. Under the garb of training Afghan forces, it had trained Daesh and TTP elements and reportedly around 300 persons were still under training in India.

For the purpose, different Indian consulates were established along with Pak-Afghanistan border, controlled and used by RAW as launching pads for terrorist activities inside Pakistan.

India planned terrorist activities like Gurdwara attacks, Lahore blast and Gwadar attack to discredit Pakistan and tried to harm Pak-China relations. Kulbhushan Jhadev, the serving Indian army officer, had also confessed to a series of terrorist activities planned and controlled from Afghanistan.

India continuously acted as a spoiler in Afghanistan and influenced Ashraf Ghani’s government to violate agreements to sabotage the peace process and embarked upon anti-Taliban and anti-US propaganda with immense intensity, especially after the fall of Kabul. Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, after the conclusion of his recent four-nation tour to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran, had reiterated India’s spoiler role in Afghanistan.

In a press statement issued after his return to Pakistan, Qureshi maintained that New Delhi topped the list of spoilers who did not wish to see stability and peace in Afghanistan. "India had brought together several terrorist organisations to fulfil its evil designs", he added.

The Indian false propaganda churned out by its media, focused on so-called allegations of human rights violations by Taliban, targeting of Afghan women and children, female education and employment; and execution of opposition segments.

It also tried to project that with the Taliban's government in place, entire regional and world peace would be put in danger by the terrorist activities of ISIS, Daesh etc.
