Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has established a special cell at its headquarters in New Delhi to sabotage China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project and the plan is executed via Afghanistan, Secretary Defence Gen (r) Alam Khattak said on Wednesday.
“RAW and Afghan NDS have launched joint secret operations against Pakistan by using three Indian consulates in Jalalabad, Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif,” said secretary defence.
“The three consulates in Afghanistan are providing weapons, money, training and other logistical support to agents for subversive activities in FATA, Balochistan and Karachi,” added Khattak.
The secretary defence, flanked by senior defence officials, was briefing the Senate defence committee which met at Parliament House.
RAW has also setup a cell at NDS HQ in Kabul for coordinating anti-Pakistan activities, said Khattak.
Referring to the recent arrest of Kulbushan Jadhav, a deep cover RAW operative arrested from Balochistan, the secretary defence elaborated that his entire network has been dismantled by Pakistani security agencies.
Khattak, also shed light on Coalition Support Fund (CSF) and its disbursement since 9/11. He explained to the committee that 40 per cent of the amount received was allocated to civil government while 60 per cent was given to the armed forces.
Pakistan received $13 billion under CSF since 9/11, and another $200 million is due to be given by the United States.
“CSF is going to be closed on September 30, 2016,” said Khattak
Earlier, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif, speaking at the Peace and Prosperity seminar in Balochistan, said Indian intelligence agency RAW is actively involved in destabilising Pakistan.
“Hostile intelligence agencies are averse to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),” said the chief of army staff.
