ISLAMABAD: Evidence of Indian involvement in terrorism has emerged, revealing its backing of the designated terrorists Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in Balochistan.
According to security sources, India is funding terrorist groups and banned organisations operating in Pakistan. This claim is supported by statements made in the Indian media, as well as remarks by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Defence Minister.
Security officials stated that leaders of terrorist groups regularly travel to India for logistical and operational briefings. In addition, India also provides medical treatment to these militants.
According to sources, in 2016, Aslam Achu, a commander of the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), travelled to India. During his stay, he met with operatives of India’s intelligence agency RAW and received treatment at a hospital in New Delhi.
Aslam Achu used a fake identity under the name Abdul Hameed and travelled on an Afghan passport. In 2018, he masterminded the attack on the Chinese Consulate in Karachi, carried out by BLA and its Majeed Brigade. His son, Rehan, was involved in a suicide attack on Chinese engineers in Dalbandin the same year.
