Pakistan on Friday reiterated its charge that Indian consulates in two
Afghan border provinces were involved in hostile activities, rejecting
New Delhi’s complaints about the Pakistan media reports about the
affair.
A foreign ministry statement said the Indian consulates in Afghan cities of Jalalabad and Kandahar were being used by New Delhi’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence network for anti-Pakistan activities and called a halt to this practice.
The Indian government conveyed a demarche to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi on Tuesday complaining about the Pakistani media reports that accused the Indian consulates of complicity in acts of terrorism and subversion in Pakistan.
“Pakistan has rejected India’s demarche...,” the foreign ministry statement said
“Pakistan remains concerned over the Indian intelligence agencies’ involvement in acts of terrorism and subversion in Pakistan,” it said, and added: “This pattern of cross-border terrorism by India has shown a rapid rise in recent months.”
“Indian consulates in Jalalabad and Kandahar are a veritable base for RAW and its accessories,” the statement said. “There is an increasing evidence of their involvement in anti-Pakistan activities, especially in regions adjoining Pakistan’s western border.”
A foreign ministry spokesman said last Saturday that Pakistan had conveyed its concern to the Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Interior Minister Ali Ahmed Jalali and that this concern must be addressed by Kabul.
