CHRISTEN Fair, a reputed US journalist, has exposed Indian covert operations in Pakistan. For Balochistan, Indian consulates in Kandahar and Zahedan are playing a key role.

The situation in Balochistan was deliberately worsened by getting three Baloch nationalist leaders killed by Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) last April since they were on the verge of spilling the beans about Brahamdagh-led BLA, sponsored by foreign agencies.

Captured suicide bombers from Dera Bugti revealed the involvement of Brahamdagh Bugti, RAW and RAAM in training terrorists in camps in Afghanistan and launching them in Balochistan against assigned targets.

Riasat 25 and 33 detachments were specifically created to foment unrest in Pakistan.

Commander Raziq Achakzai turned Spin Boldak into forward launching pad for unleashing terrorists and supplying arms and ammunition in Balochistan.

Afghan officials facilitate border crossing of RAW agents. Shahgarh-Kishingrah route in Indian Rajasthan is also frequented for the same purpose.

RAW chief VM Varma and RAAM chief Amanullah Saleh hold frequent meetings in New Delhi and Kabul to coordinate clandestine operations in Pakistan.

CIA and Mossad also take part in some of Pakistan-specific meetings.

Baloch wrongdoers are richly paid by foreign agencies and the lifestyles of such unknown BLA members belonging to the Marri tribe have become opulent.

Other shady organisations having no base are on papers only.

These include Baloch Republican Army (BRA) representing Bugtis, Lashkar-i-Balochistan, an armed group of Mengals, and Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) representing many Baloch tribes.

The purpose is to make the world believe that the movement is broadbased.
