‘”RAW runs special cell to sabotage CPEC” Secretary Defence

“India’s (elite) intelligence agency RAW has established a special cell at its Head Quarters in New Delhi to sabotage China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project and the plan is executed via Afghanistan,” said Secretary Defence Gen (retd) Alam Khattak earlier yesterday.

RAW and Afghan NDS have launched joint secret operations against Pakistan by using three Indian consulates in Jalalabad, Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif, said secretary defence. The three consulates in Afghanistan are providing weapons, money, training and other logistic support to agents for subversive activities in FATA, Balochistan and Karachi, added Khattak.

Secretary defence, flanked by senior defence officials, was briefing Senate defence committee, which met at the Parliament House earlier today. RAW has also set up a cell at NDS HQ in Kabul for coordinating anti-Pakistan activities, said Khattak.

Referring to the recent arrest of Kulbushan Jadhav, a deep cover RAW operative arrested from Balochistan, the secretary defence elaborated that his entire network has been dismantled by Pakistani security agencies.

Khattak also shed light on Coalition Support Fund (CSF) and its disbursement since 9 11. He explained to the committee that 40 per cent of the amount received was allocated to civil government while 60pc was given to the armed forces. Pakistan received $13 billion under CSF since 9 11 and another $200 million is due to be given by the United States. CSF is going to be closed on September 30, 2016, said Khattak.
