India using Afghan soil for attacks in Balochistan: IG Frontier Corps
Talking to journalists at the FC headquarters in Quetta, Khattak said there was evidence that Afghanistan was being used against Pakistan.
He urged NATO and ISAF forces to control militants using Afghan soil for launching terror attacks in Balochistan.
Meanwhile, Khattak credited FC for maintaining peace in Quetta and said unity was the only way to cope with internal and external threats adding that suggestions were given to the Balochistan government to deweaponise Quetta.
Earlier Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani on Thursday had issued a warning to Afghanistan to stop cross-border activities in Pakistan.
Addressing a Pak-Saudi joint military exercise programme 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 (US) 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.”

Afan Baloch : I really pity you for being in this state of denial because of the jolly ride you were taken on by the establishment of Pakistan. Keep dreaming .
@Vasan - Indian Proxy warriors deserve nothing . . . neither evidence or proof. The war goes on and Pakistan has to keep catching and wiping them out like roaches. Thats it!! GREAT JOB KHATTAK!! Pakistan needs more Khattaks!!!!
@vasan @maxwel There is no point disclosing to the criminal about the methods used to track him and his gang. One does not share intelligence with the criminals and proxy warriors who have a destructive agenda against Balochistan and Pakistan as a whole. This is India's secret war against Pakistan and they have not declared or shared any thing with Pakistan too!!
@Bachhoo, think of the naivity of Pakistanis and not Indians buddy...Pakistan needs to share the intelligence on the same ground as India is asked to share when it accuses Pakistan to have various proven activities in India....like 26/11.
Absolutely right!! India needs to leave Pakistan alone and stop those terror activities that it has historically been busy doing. The ordinary Pakistani knows that India has been involved in a proxy war on Pakistan through various methods including through Afghan soil. And more over, it is Pakistan's perogative to not share the intelligence with India. Why should the intelligence be shared with India when they have proof about india's spy handlers causing bloodshed in Pakistan all the way from Balochistan to Karachi! The ordinary Indian seems to be either naive or deceptive about India's hand causing bloodshed in Pakistan.
Pakistan Army should eliminate local Taliban activities too along with RAW sponsored Indian Taliban activities in Swat & Baluchistan. They both are evil for peace & civilian casualty. If we only eliminate Indian Taliban that will make India invest more in terrorist activities in Baluchistan by billions of dollars worth of budget they have for Afghanistan. I understand its tempting for Pak to engage India on home-turf after their defense deal with Afghanistan & so shoot two bird with one stone by bleeding Indian economy, like U.S losses in Afghanistan. Only this time it will be Afghan & Baloch blood India will be spilling to break Baluchistan from Pakistan. I see__Contrary to Pak Citizens general knowledge & inquisitiveness, Indians are oblivious to their govt’s & RAW's involvement in such activities & schemes. Instead they have very superficial, unrealistic & highly optimistic view of their piety & economy. News: U.S. is already removing their offices & business centres from India to Singapore & Malaysia, probably after realizing their poor quality of products & services. China’s Good Days are numbered due to their biased & tricky trade tactics U.S. is realizing. Result: No U.S. market share-No windfall of Dollars for both.
So, the famous Indian RAW, which has numerous times been accused openly in the Indian Media as being worthless and incapable of providing security to Indian Citizens, enjoys a Mythical and Invulnerable status in Pakistan. So, the RAW or the Indian Agents, who are a failure in India, becomes super-human in Pakistan and evade capture everytime, and erases all evidence.
When it comes to India...
With how much Pakistanis compulsively lay their junk out on the table next to a ruler only to never realize it's really just not all too impressive due to everyone else knowing the world isn't looking through a magnifying glass. It's surprising they have time to procreate.
For the last many years we are being told India is involved in Balochistan's unrest, true,very true, but what is temedy to stop or answer her? Why India is allowed to creating mess from Afghanistan? In fact, it is the Government's job to clean up the mess and should have open eyes to recognise its enemies,if army comes then these politicians start to cry, What India wants? Balochistan is not East Pakistan,so Idian sshould understand firts then should play with fire.
Ok Mr IG : If this is true, what are u going to do about this. If you have not given any evidence, then you are passing the buck and failing in your duty to nab the culprits. Then what should the people do about you, Why dont you narrate that also.
There is need to repay Indians with same coin.
Pak should work to widen the red corridor made by Maoists in India........
I hope Indians REALLY start doing all the things that the Pakistani agencies have been accusing them of over the last few years.
For 5 years I have been hearing about 'incontrovertible evidence' linking India with the insurgency in Balochistan. Why is it that it has been revealed to no one? In the meantime we all know who has been calling the shots in Balochistan and these people have a historical propensity for being (in columnist Cyril Almeida's words) 'inveterate liars'.
Pakistan has incontrovertible & irrefutable evidence against India, it is high time it is made public.
@mustafa - So the idiots bombing in kashmir and hijacking planes to kabul and killing people in mumbai are freedom fighters and those in balochistan are terrorists is it??? And yeah nobody in the world knows that the terrorists in kashmir are pakistani trained idiots and everyone in balochistan is an indian backed terrorists.. Bugti was a terrorist... Good.. You are a very patriotic pakistani who understands his country very well.. God save your people from your intelligence and maturity...
@Raza: "Sure, he may be overreaching here but I doubt India’s billions of dollars worth of investment into “philanthropic” activities in Afghanistan is solely out of the goodness of its heart".
You may not remembnber but Jaish-e-Mohammad had hijacked a plane from India to afghanistan in 1999 and the Taliban government actually supported the Pak terrorists. It is those types of things India does not want. In other words, India does not want an anti-India Afghanistan. As far as Afghanistan attitude to Pakistan is concerned, India does not care one way or another.
its not new, everyone knows that india is supporting terrorist in balouchistan.
@ Andrea, you are also wrong about Baluchistan. Pakistan was not invited to Baluchistan, like India was, because of Pakistani incursion and killing. Pakistani forces just landed there one fine morning. Talk to baluch leaders. See if Pakistani administration is there or it is army and ISI.
@Andrea: Read Kashmir resolution : Para 1. point 1A: 1, 2, 3 so that you can know what you are talking about, you knowledge seems to be limited to what the corrupt pakistani text books produced during Zia Ul Haq time have taught you. So, it is ok...just read documents, research before vomiting, what has been put into you by your rulers.
I don't think what this IG says is true, but if it is, then finally I am happy that my taxes went into doing the right thing :teaching Pakistan a lesson.
@ Andrea, you go and read the UN resolution properly before commenting. Those areas OCCUPIED by pakistani forces in Kashmir needs to be vacated BEFORE any talk of referendum..Indian forces can remain there to maintain law and order..and population demography should be as such as in 1947 i.e. includes hundreds of thousands of kashmiri pandits who were driven out from valley..don't comment abt UN resolution with your half baked knowledge..
At this moment government should not open other fronts with India. If you are internally strong external force can damage you.......Dear Mr. Khatak please be strong and fight against these killers. If you catch at least one criminal, may be you would know about the fact.
All you guys are right. India is responsible, is doing it and will be doing it, as long as you are acting similarly in Kashmir....And taste of your own medicine is something, you should not complain about...What the heck....You do what you can, produce proof if you can, just we keep doing it in Kashmir. But still it is your choice what you keep doing and it is our choice, if we retaliate in whatever way suitable to us.
You know the facts, just like we know the facts...
I can't understand why the Indians here keep liking Kashmir with supporting criminal acts in Baluchistan. There is a UN referendum on Kashmir which obliges India to let the people of occupied Kashmir choose their destiny since 1947. Baluchistan joined Pakistan freely and the majority of people there have shown preference for Pakistan which is why so many Baluchi youth always want to sign up for the Pak army. A few disgruntled tribes on the payroll of the Indians and supported by the Indian lackeys in Afghanistan are just a nuissance but no real threat. This is the basic difference.
@Ishant: Mr Ishant...Kashmir movement started because of Indain army attitude in kashmir...all those millitant movements which were named by india fr this are banned in Pakistan,,,everyone knws who is supporting Talibanization in Pakistan.....its a long debate,,,bt a small answer,as its an open secret.....
Please send the dossier with evidence to the Indian foreign ministry. Thank you.
Retaliate with full vengeance
@Nasrat Baloch...this is a perennial problem of Pakistan. It's a clear sign of a failing nation.
There are probably more problems in Pakistan than the entire world combined. However, they are due to outside interference and has got nothing to do with Pakistanis!!!
Musharraf has been saying the same since five years. Unfortunately our some politicians including a particular TV channel are promoting India's interests. I hope Pakistani nation will wake up in support of Musharraf to counter India's plot.
Please keep this in mind that we are a nation of pure's so we never ever be wrong, if u think of it u will be thought out of "their Islam".It has always been outsiders that made Bengalis to think for an independent Bengal not us. Now its India/Afghanistan/USA that told us to make Balochistan backward/deprived. The outsiders have not allowed us to do any development in Balochistan for 63 years Balochistan is not totally connected to the rest of the country by any means say it roads, railways, air and sea.Only one University(mainly functioning)in the whole Province the list goes on and on. Unfortunately all these misdeeds are because of outsiders!!!!!! We so Naive and innocent that outsiders are steering us to anywhere they want.God help us but as they say" God help those who help themselves"
You can tell by the number of Indian trolls here using real and assumed named that what the IG Frontier Corps says is true. We have long know that India has been using their puppet in Afghanistan to carry out strikes against innocent Pakistani civilians. We need to close the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Not only India, but US is also arming the Balochi trouble-makers, that is for sure.
But then, strategic depth, is a game anyone could play.....right?
@Ali Baloch: yes yes,dont rule out anything.just say whatever u feel like saying and whatever makes u feel gud.
Every guy in baluchistan knows tht... but whats the govt doing? just by killing isurgents in baluchista(extra judicial killings) wount bring peace... u have to eliminate the evil from the bud.. give baluch people our rights, and exterminate indian terrorism thts being spread frm afghanistan!
Pakistan zindabad Baluchistan paindabad
yes we will have fun in Balochistan as long as you have fun in Kashmir. And wait, we have started having fun in a new area, that`s Gilgit Baltistan. They remember Mr.Musharaff very well.
I think the Chinese are ones involved in stirring up trouble in Balochistan. After all, they invented acupuncture and its technique of pricking one place and seeing the effect somewhere else completely. Besides, it is an all weather technique.
Sure, he may be overreaching here but I doubt India's billions of dollars worth of investment into "philanthropic" activities in Afghanistan is solely out of the goodness of its heart.
200% true.
@fighting falcon
If Obama declares that 'Nato forces will stay indefnitly till objectives are achived' then gas will be out of this gentleman.
Moreover it is duty of US & Allies(esp Pak) to clear the mess they created during coldwar era.
Dawn will appear immediatly.
One simple declaration that 'Nato will stay indefinitely in Afganistan till their objectives are achived' will take gas out of this gentleman. But Obama upto it?
Finally someone else has also emerged to speak the truth and let the world know what India is up to! India can NOT handle its own insurgencies in every state and here it is sitting stealthily trying to harm Pakistan! India you will fail MISERABLY!!!! "NO POWER ON EARTH CAN UNDO PAKISTAN"!!!!
you know what, IG man, lets answer in the language you understand-- "these were NON STATE ACTORS" isn't that what you say when your are cought exporting terror to India or afghan?????
Ahhh Ahhhh ahhhhhhhhhh ;-) ahhh good one. nice going. This will keep in job !! If you can't catch the mice, blame on the cat .
He is essentially trying to copy Mullen's statement by saying "ISAF is a veritable arm of India in supporting Baloch insurgency"
Two birds in one stone. Except there are no birds and such statements make PAK establishments as Jokers.
The Gaurdian tells a different story of what is happening in Baluchistan and FC is in the middle of it.
The reputation of The Gaurdian is greater than PAK establishments.
Why doesn't the whimp do something about it then? He hasn't even found those responsible for the attacks on the FC guy in Quetta
When in trouble, just press ‘India Card’
thats called in our Language 'Hawai fire'.
media will never report this its well known india is supporting terrorist, even in wikileaks british mentioned it to america Kashmir is occupied by India according to UN All of Pakistan is right part of pakistan, so no excuse to spread violence hindustan
So Mr Khattak, You know India too is backed by U.S for sneaking terrorists anywhere the U.S.A will like her to be. First, the Americans were operating themselves under cover, now as they have been asked to pack up from the soil, they will use other alternatives. You have to be vigilent, thats the name of the hindou game.
This claim should be mentioned by our president , prime minister and foreign minister on international forums and in the media.
Dear all. . . The misconception that IG FC is under COAS is wrong. He reports to our hounerable Interior Minister. Moreover the sacred suggestions which everyone jas mentioned is under the discretion of Mr. Rehman Malik and not IG FC. What proofs your beloved US/NATO gave in public for ISI's role in Afghanistan. Cmon please grow up and act maturely. Criticize just for making the mockery. Pakistan Zindabad - Pak Fauj Paindabad
Both countries Pakistan and Afghanistan are geo-strategically important. friendly Afghanistan can make Pakistan an economic hub and neither India nor U.S can tolerate this... 2nd most important reason is the development of Gawader port as it is located approximately 300 k.m away from the bay of Hormuz from where the transportation of oil is carried out to the world and it's under U.S control. so a peaceful Baluchistan is problematic for the world powers. so the involvement of Indian hand can not be ruled out..
all they have got is blood full of lies..nothing else. i am tired now..wonder, if these guys never get tired keep the people in darkness by lies and all sort of adventureous conspiracy theories..
its too late to disclose, or may be too late to disclose.
He is a musharraf look alike and is talking the same thing!
Pakistan already isolated from it's neighbor is further isolating it's self by accusing Indian and Afghanis, Statements like these dosent help much. Pakistan has suddenly become aggressive and critical towards its two neighbors and hasnt taken steps to improve relations with Iran either Pakistan needs to change it's Policies and attitude towards it's neighbor in order for the people to live in peace and prosper, the world is leaving Pakistan behind because of it's failed policies. We need to change course before it's too late
Others targeting Pakistan include Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
Be responsible, IG; don't think people will believe anything. We have heard these stories for too long.
Clean out Quetta - 90% of the problems in Balo will be solved.
"India using Afghan soil for attacks in Balochistan: IG Frontier Corp"
So;
a. Why are you not stopping them? Resign if you can't.
b. Where is the evidence? What is stopping you from sharing it with the world if it really exists?
c. Baluchis seem to think security forces are involved? What do you say to that?
revenge is sweeeeeeeeeeet.
Why should this IG be believed? He isn't appointed by parliament, he's appointed by the COAS and accountable only to him, is that not so? How do we know that these aren't empty echos crafted to help get Kiyani out of a jam?
hmmm...isn't Pakistan supporting and letting the Kashmiri militants use its territory for attacks in Kashmir, now i don't believe that India is using Afghan soil for attacks in Balochistan but even if it is, doesn't that make it even?
Just like you ask for proofs all the time...what about proofs IG saheb??
