The US magazine ‘Foreign Policy’ in a recent article besides some Central Asian States has exposed the links between India and terrorists before the world.

According to the article, an increasing number of Indian and Central Asian links to plots outside their regions is dangerous for the neighboring countries.

In India, the article says,Prime Minister Narendra Modi has advanced a series of policies promoting a Hindu nationalist narrative openly hostile toward Muslims as well as other minorities. For the Indians the international role has been limited as they for the most part they appeared in attacks in Afghanistan and in limited numbers on the battlefield in Syria, it said.

The threat emerged most recently with the attack by the Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP) on Jalalabad prison in early August. It follows the earlier decision by ISKP to use an Indian fighter to attack a Sikh Gurdwara—a place of worship—in Kabul, the article stated --- the Islamic State officially had announced the creation of an affiliate in India last year.

The Foreign Policy further revealed that there were Indian links to the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter attacks, the attack on a Turkish nightclub on New Year’s Eve 2017, or the 2017 truck attacks in New York City and Stockholm.

Pakistan has been consistently sensitizing the international community regarding India’s involvement in terrorism and her aggressive postures to destabilize Pakistan and the region.

The recent international endorsements have vindicated Pakistan’s consistent position that India is a terrorism sponsoring state while the report has further exposed the true face of India—the so-called largest democracy in the world.

India’s belligerent posture and expansionist policies are also imperiling regional peace and stability. Pakistan has already shared with the international community incriminating evidence regarding Indian intelligence agency RAW’s involvement in terrorist activities in Pakistan.

While the Indian Air Force chief’s vicious statement that his country was ready for “two-front war” with China and Pakistan, is extremely irresponsible and reflection of RSS-BJP mind-set.

Such provocations are a true reflection of Hindutva mind-set which is a dangerous mix of extremist ideology and hegemonic designs --- putting regional peace and security as well as its own security at risk.

The Pakistani Foreign Office has rightly called upon India that in the interest of peace and prosperity in South Asia, itmust abandon its 3rd century ‘Chanakya Doctrine’ and adopt the 21st century model of regional peace and stability.

The international community, particularly the United Nations and human rights bodies, must take immediate cognizance of the RSS-BJP regime’s genocidal tendencies and hold India accountable for these serious crimes against innocent Kashmiri people.

Marginalization of communities in India, including religious minorities, particularly Muslims, has become a hallmark of the RSS-BJP government’s policies.

On the other hand, it is an open secret that India is sponsoring terrorism in the region as India is behind instability in the region;KulbhushanYadhavwho is in custody of Pakistan having himself admitted to be involved in promoting terrorism in Pakistan, is just one example.

The state sponsored organizations of India are under strong influence of Indian extremist mindset. The verdict of Indian apex court acquitting all the culprits involved in demolishing of historic BabariMosque also reflects that the Indian superior judiciary was under Hindutva influence.

Washington Post, The New York Times and other reputable international magazines have beenhighlighting time and again that the policies of the Indian government were promoting a specific ideology of Hindutva and extremism that are dangerous for the neighboring countries.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s National Security Advisor DrMoeed Yousaf in an interview with Indian journalist Kiran Thapar while explaining Pakistan's position on Kashmir, regional security and other important issues has said that Pakistan has evidence that India is providing financial support to terrorists.

Substantiating his point of view, he said that India provided financial support to the terrorists and the mastermind of the APS attack was in touch with the Indian agency RAW as the terrorists received phone calls from India.

He said that RAW had attacked the Chinese Consulate, PC Gwadar and the Stock Exchange through the embassy in a neighboring country. Aslam Achho, who was involved in the attack on the Chinese Consulate, was treated in New Delhi.

Moreover, at least 44 Indian banks have been flagged in connection with transactions by Indian entities and individuals in a set of Suspicious Activity Reports filed by US banks with the watchdog agency, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

There is no denying the fact that almost all Indian neighbors are not at ease due to New Delhi’s self-centered policies. The increasing Indian state terrorism if not curtailed could become a dangerous proposition not just for the region but for the whole world. Even in India saner elements are already contemplating the worst proposition in the coming days.

All these Indian attributes must be taken care of as intriguing to drag Pakistan into Financial Action Task Force (FATF) blacklist, India herself is fit case for the Blacklist!
