Boucher to Karzai: Stop sending terrorists to Pakistan from Kabul

Posted on 20 October 2008. Tags: Afghan, Karzai terrorists, Pakistan

Boucher participating in the discussion said the US supported Pakistan’s policy against terrorism and high-tech weapons would be supplied to Pakistan forces for crushing the miscreants. He said he would ask President Karzai in a meeting to stop intrusion into Fata from Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has a long and tumultuous history of outside powers using its rugged terrain as a chessboard for the ‘Great Game’. This ‘Great Game’ has been revisited in Afghanistan and one of the chasing players this time is India. In recent years, Indian increased diplomatic presence and enhanced economic assistance to Afghanistan has not only threatened the security of Pakistan but also played an effective role in jeopardising the Pak-Afghan cooperation to contain the flow of insurgency in Afghanistan.

It goes without saying that India has no legitimate role in Afghanistan but the dream to confront Pakistan. She is making all-out efforts, to prevent Pakistan from having influence in Afghanistan, by aggravating antiPakistan sentiments among Afghan people. Apparently, Indian intention could be economic gains but real objective remains destabilising Pakistan.

Indian diplomatic missions in Afghanistan have a role in fomenting trouble in Pakistan’s tribal areas. Indian consulates in Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif and their embassy in Kabul are indulged in clandestine activities inside Pakistan in general and FATA and Balochistan in particular. The intelligence network in Afghanistan which is established by India is fully operational.

The Marines from Multiple One (India company) based at Lashkargah, a forward operation base, has been undertaking missions in Balochistan by supporting the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA). Their main targets include Chinese working in the province, particularly at Gwadar, Saindak, and Hub.

RAW operatives have established many training camps inside Afghanistan to aggravate the activities of Baloch nationalists with an objective of transforming it into a full bloom insurgency.

Recently, with its presence in Kabul, New Delhi is encircling Islamabad with highly trained commandoes. She has deployed 143 highly trained commandoes in Afghanistan besides stationing of a full-fledged team to train Afghan and Uzbek forces. This is in addition to the already deployed 254 Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) soldiers to provide security to Indian construction companies. India claims that these troops are there to protect Indian workers but in reality, these workers are actively supporting the militants in Balochistan and FATA.

Zardari said money being provided by Afghan drug traffickers was being used in terror-related incidents in Pakistan.

Drug smuggling from Afghanistan via Pakistan has been eliminated, he said, adding these smugglers were now funding terrorists in Pakistan. “It now lies with the United States to take action against these smugglers and dismantle their network, he said.

Pakistan has suffered more than any other country in the war on terror in terms of loss of property, he said. “All possible resources are being utilised to crush terrorists. Dialogue is being held with those who are laying down arms. Development work has begun in tribal areas, job opportunities are being provided and peace being restored in collaboration with tribesmen,” he said.

He said security forces were close to establishing peace in the area after making unprecedented sacrifices. He urged the US to take necessary measures to end terrorists’ infiltration from the Afghan side to Pakistan tribal areas. Richard Boucher said Pakistan was a US ally in the war against terrorism and his country would continue to extend every possible help to it. The Post. October 20th, 2008

In view of Indian government’s concern over security situation in Afghanistan it becomes imperative to bring on record the network of terrorist training camps set up by Indian intelligence agency RAW inside Afghanistan, including at the Afghan military base of Qushila Jadid, in Southern Helmand province; in the Panjshir Valley and also at Khahak and Hassan Killies in western Nimroz province.

India’s trained terrorists intrude into Pakistan’s territory and commit serious acts of terrorism such as mass killings, bombings, torture, and intimidation of civilians. This is proved by the reports when Indian national namely Rohit Vashisht was captured by the Afghan police on 3 September 2007 in district Zarai of Kandahar province for financing Taliban militants in the region. Rohit revealed that he had been financing Taliban to convince them to carry out suicide attacks against Pakistan and NATO forces.

He further divulged that he was successful to a great extent in convincing Taliban to locate and identify their real enemy (Pakistan) responsible for the mess in the region. Rohit carried maps of Pakistani cities including Peshawar, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad. Police also recovered names of various Taliban leaders and their addresses with whom he possibly met or contacted during his present stay or his probable previous visit to the area in the past.

Another incident of this kind happened when an Indian doctor working as member of a medical team in Jalalabad was caught redhanded for instigating patients to work for India. These Indian nationals were repatriated quietly to India due to the considerable influence from senior officials of the Indian Embassy including the ambassador.

President Asif Zardari just a few weeks ago said the the Kashmir solution should be left to the next generation. US wants ISI destoryed. Then he said “India was not Pakistan’s number one enemy”. He invited Mr. Hamid Karzai to his inauguration. Water Wars: The impact of India stopping Pakistani water. After returning from the UK, USA and China has Mr. Zardari had an epiphany? He has now called on the same Mr. Karzia with which he shared the podium on his inauguration to halt cross border terrorism into Pakistan. What a difference a few weeks make.

What happened in the past few weeks?

Is it reality that visited President Asif Zardari, or did his meetings with Mr. Karzai, Mr. Bush and the Chinese leaders made him relaize that his old idealism was misplaced.

The volte face of Mr. Zardari either shows political maturity or some proof which he had not seen before. Zardari backs up request to US by threat: US drone shot down. What was the information that Mr. Zardari had not seen before as a private Pakistani citizen? What was the information that he has since seen? Pakistan repulses US raid: PAF jets chase away drones.

So the president has finally become aware of Indian duplicity and hostile intent towards Pakistan. Deeply rooted in its revisionist historical mindset, India is certainly not going to alter its approach towards Pakistan simply because of the presumed “charm offensive” the president feels he can turn on to right all ills the country faces! In fact, it is the Indians who yet again managed to trap our leadership into conceding all manner of political (on Kashmir) declaratory compromises and trade concessions while they continue to undermine us with water strangulation and baseless charges of cross-LOC infiltration. State and people still out of sync. Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Shireen M Mazari. How can Pakistan react to US attacks?

ISLAMABAD – President Asif Ali Zardari is believed to have called for immediate US steps to prevent the use of Afghan drug money in terrorism in Pakistan.

Reliable sources informed The Nation that President Zardari had conveyed these concerns to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher who was believed to have called on him Sunday at Aiwan-e-Sadr.

The meeting was not officially confirmed, as the official spokesman of the President was not available for comments. When contacted, the US embassy spokesman neither confirmed nor denied the meeting.

However, he clarified that Boucher’s current visit to Pakistan was mutually finalised by the two countries, adding the US Assistant Secretary was meeting various government officials, representatives of the civil society and political leaders.

Insidious plan for Pakistan? Is US a Trojan horse in Afghanistan?

QUESTION: Mr. Boucher, we are also glad to see you again here in Kyrgyzstan. I’m from Radio Azattyk, which is the Kyrgyz-language service of Radio Free Liberty, and my question is about Ganci (Manas) Air Base. Some local and international analysts think the U.S. government is no longer interested in the work of Manas and is promoting a new strategy of government in Central Asia. How would you comment?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY BOUCHER: I don’t know where that information came from. I have to say, every time I come here I hear a lot of unusual stories and theories. But I just keep coming back to the fact that we’re very transparent, we’re very open, and we’re very honest about what we are doing and in what we are saying. The Base is important. It’s important to us, but it’s important to every country in the region, to the other countries that use it, but also to the other countries that are affected by terrorism coming out of Afghanistan. We’re very engaged, and we’re going to stay engaged to help build a stable Afghanistan that can be an asset to the people in the region and not a threat. That’s the purpose of the Base, that’s the value of the Base, and it’s a value to all of us, to help us stop this threat of terrorism and the threat of narcotics coming out of Afghanistan right now. But in the long-run for you, it’s not just the threat, it’s the opportunity of Afghanistan, too. You’ll be able to sell energy to the south, you’ll be able to sell vegetables to the south, you’ll be able to buy and sell products to India and Pakistan through a stable Afghanistan. And that’s why we are involved in Afghanistan, and that’s why we all still have an interest in the Base.

QUESTION: Associated Press. Lately, in our press, there was information about an analysis about the efficiency of the activities of the Base which determined that Base operations are 80% inefficient.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY BOUCHER: I never heard of that — another one of those stories that you encounter here, that I don’t know why people spread them. We work a lot with the country in different ways. Everybody’s a partner in the fight against terrorism. Everybody’s a partner in the fight against narcotics. And that includes countries like China and Russia. Different countries are involved in Afghanistan in different ways. Some of the immediate neighbors are providing, selling electricity to Afghanistan to help keep the lights on for the people of Kabul. Other neighbors transport supplies — some of that comes down through Russia and Central Asia, supplies that are needed by the Afghan government and the Coalition, some of that’s by air through Manas, some of that’s by air through other countries and other bases, some of that’s by road, some of that’s by rail. So, all these efforts are important. Everybody’s contribution is important, including the contribution that Kyrgyzstan makes.

The efficiency of the Base is that it provides a route for personnel and some supplies. Other people and supplies go through other routes. And I think it’s just that we need.we’re all in this together. It’s a problem for all of us. If we fix it, it’s an opportunity for all of us. As the Afghan government stabilizes Afghanistan with the support of foreign countries and neighbors, it presents a new opportunity for people for trade and energy and outlets to the sea. So the Base is an important part of that and will be until we finish the job.

It was learnt that issues related to the war against terror, Pak-Afghan border situation and bilateral ties figured out during the meeting.

India intelligence: “‘the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region.”

Meanwhile, it was learnt that Boucher would also meet PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif here on Monday to discuss political issues and war on terror.
