Quetta: Inspector General Frontier Corps (FC) Baluchistan Major General Obaidullah Khattak on Friday alleged that India was using Afghan territory to carry out terror attacks in Baluchistan – the western province of Pakistan.
Talking to media person at the FC headquarters in Quetta, Khattak said there were solid evidences that Afghan soil was being used against Pakistan.
He urged NATO – North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – and ISAF – International Security Assistance Force – forces to control militants using Afghan soil for launching terror attacks in Baluchistan.
Meanwhile, Khattak hailed FC for maintaining peace in Quetta and said unity was the only way to cope with internal and external threats, adding suggestions were given to the Baluchistan government to de-weaponise Quetta.
Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani has already issued a warning on Thursday to Afghanistan to stop cross-border activities in Pakistan.
Addressing a Pak-Saudi joint military exercise plan in Mangla, Kayani asserted that no such activities would be tolerated and that Pakistan “possesses the capability to respond to any situation”.
Pakistan’s former president Pervez Musharraf had also charged that arch-rival India seeks to “create an anti-Pakistan Afghanistan” as part of a bid to dominate South Asia politically and economically.
Musharraf said Afghanistan sends its intelligence staff, diplomats and soldiers to India where they are “indoctrinated against Pakistan,” something he said India must stop and the United States should be concerned about.
“In Afghanistan, there is some kind of a proxy conflict going on between Pakistan and India,” Musharraf told a leadership forum sponsored by the Atlantic media corporation.
“India is trying to create an anti-Pakistan Afghanistan.”
