RAHIM YAR KHAN: Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Sunday that interference in Balochistan by the Indian intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), had been continuing for many years.

Talking to reporters after arriving at the Sheikh Zayed International Airport, he said India had always provided assistance to the separatists of Balochistan.

He said that during a meeting in 2008 with former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh, he had discussed the issues of Kashmir, Balochistan, Siachen and Sir Creek and provided proofs of RAW’s interference in the province.

The matter of highlighting of these issues also surfaced in Indian parliament.
