ISLAMABAD — According to informed sources Indian intelligence officials working in the disguise of diplomats in Embassy and Consulates in Afghanistan have set up a vast network to destablise FATA, Northern Areas and Baluchistan engaging dozens of Afghan-Indians, drug dealers and Afghan warlords.

According to sources several agents hired by the RAW but captured recently in FATA, Waziristan and Southern Eastern areas have provided extensive details claiming that the Indian had managed to penetrate deeply in collaboration with Indian allies in the region.

According to one spy who was recently killed by Taliban an Indian intelligence official named as C.R. Garg working as Attaché and P.S. to Indian Ambassador in Kabul had recently offered as much as US$2000-3200 per foreigner killed in Pakistan.

The spy was given a telephone number for urgent contacts. Another Indian senior official named as Malkit Chand also working as Third Secretary (Education) & Director (Indian Cultural Center) was engaged in transferring Pakistani Baluch students from Afghanistan to India for special training and financial assistance. Baluchi students particularly the children of Baluch refugees are being offered upto US200-300 per month if they agree to proceed to India.

Chandra Mohan Mishra a Third Secretary at Indian Embassy in Kabul and J. Baby working as an Attaché (Technical) have also held several meetings with Blauch militants during mid-2008.

Other Indian intelligence officials engaged in financing and sending Pakistani youths from tribal areas to several other Central Asian states and Middle East are posted in Consulate General of India, Mazar-i-Sharif are Dinesh Behari working as a Consul and D. N. Dutta working as a Vice Consul in Mazar-i-Sharif. Two spies recently arrested in tribal areas were carrying Thuraya satellite phone numbers 00-873-763095858 and 00-873-763095867 and 0700501385 which belonged to Indian intelligence officials inside Afghanistan.

US, NATO, ISAF Must Punish All Hindu Terrorists Who Killed Christians

The terror attacks on Mumbai made headlines around the world. When the dust settled, we found ourselves asking the same questions: “How did this happen?” and “What could we have done to prevent this?” But while India and the world contemplates the causes and consequences of these attacks, we ignore India’s Hindu Terrorism:
From late August through October 2008, organized Hindu extremist groups committed systematic attacks killing more than 100 people, mostly Christians, in the eastern India state of Orissa. Most worrying, the Hindu terrorists responsible for Orissa’s violence remain at-large and have explicitly threatened to repeat their attacks
after December 25, 2008.

Three Hindu extremist groups – the RSS, VHP, and the Bajrang Dal – are responsible for this autumn’s violence, destroying some 4500 homes and burning 147 churches in India. The dead are mostly Christians and some
moderate Hindus. Father Akbar Digal, a Christian, was beheaded after three times refusing to convert to Hinduism. Gayadhar Digal, a Hindu, was hacked to death, and his wife and son nearly killed for appearing sympathetic to Christianity. Others have been burned alive and beaten, then buried alive. Some 40,000-60,000 sought refuge in the forests where they were further hunted. Hundreds remain missing. Over 11,000 remain displaced and the attackers have threatened to kill them upon returning if they do not convert to Hinduism.

The attacks have been alarmingly systematic. Repeating tactics used by these Hindu terror groups in similar attacks last year, the August attacks began with cutting down trees to block the roads and cutting phone lines to block communications. Mobs led by these Hindu extremist groups were armed with guns and machetes, shouting slogans such as “Christians must become Hindu or die. Kill Them. Kill Them. Kill Them.” The same Hindu terror groups have organized related attacks across the country, the best known being in Gujarat, India, in 2002 where about 2000 to 5000 Indian-Muslims were killed.

In each of these cases, violence continued for weeks without intervention by the state and the Hindu perpetrators have enjoyed impunity thereafter. Six years after the Gujarat killings, there has been only one conviction. There were no convictions after the December 2007 violence. Without any punishment, we can expect these Hindu extremist groups to continue terrorizing civilians as a tactic to impose their will on the state and drive out minority religious
communities.

In fact, threats of renewed violence in the coming weeks are so clear that if we ignore them and violence escalates, nobody can say we “didn’t know.” The Hindu extremists remain at-large and have demanded that the Orissa Government pass several laws to further suppress Christianity. Failure to impose these laws, they threaten, will result
in more violence through a ban on all public activity after Dec. 25 – enforced by club-toting members of these Hindu terror groups – effectively prohibiting Christian festivities.

Responsibility for preventing further violence lies with the Indian Government. The attacks in Mumbai have shown that when terrorists strike at Westerners and expensive hotels, Indian security forces can react and kill or arrest the terrorists within days. In Orissa, by contrast, two months into the violence, victims of Hindu terrorism were still being burned alive.

Orissa’s Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik, does not appear to be a Hindu nationalist zealot. But he is politically beholden to Hindu extremist parties that use this violence to rally votes. At the national level, federal security forces finally came to stop the violence – after two months. However, [Indian-Sikh] Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has not
banned all Hindu terrorist parties responsible despite calls from advisers to do so, perhaps because doing so could be bad for politics in this Spring’s election. This element of Indian Government sympathy and political hedging make international condemnation all the more important. The international community should do its part to ensure
that banning violent Hindu extremists and ending impunity for them is to India’s political and economic advantage. However, if the West is to speak more loudly on this issue, it must do so in the name of counter-terrorism, religious freedom and the fundamental human rights, not because it is Christians who were attacked this time.

The U.S. public response has been almost entirely the result of mobilization by Christian groups with close ties to churches in Orissa. But the public coalition that can and should unite behind this is much larger. Darfur’s atrocities provoked an unprecedented American constituency for stopping genocide. While this constituency continues
pressing for peace and protection in Darfur, situations like Orissa that are more tractable and still in their formative stages offer an opportunity to achieve the most important goal of fighting genocide and atrocity: prevention.

This issue must not be swept aside in the aftermath of Mumbai’s attacks, but raised as an important part of India’s role in fighting terrorism within its borders. The U.S. Government should consider naming the individuals responsible for leading these Hindu extremist groups as Hindu terrorists by adding them to the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of “Specially Designated Nationals” (SDN). The U.S. Government should add all Hindu terrorist organizations to the U.S.
State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). It should also begin investigating Hindu-American charitable organizations that appear to be providing funding for these Hindu terror groups and ask that India investigate Hindu terror financing on their side in parallel.

U.S. President George W. Bush and U.S. President-elect Barack Obama should end their silence on India’s Hindu terrorism. Every U.S. Government official, whether in the U.S. Congress or the Administration, should raise Orissa in the course of his/her other dealings with Indian officials and ask what their plan is for ending impunity for domestic Hindu terrorism. How will they investigate and punish all those Hindus who plan and lead these terrorist attacks? How will the state and federal governments in India ensure that next time it does not take two months to stop the killing? It is not too late to head off mass killing of Christians by Hindu terrorists in Orissa after this Christmas and to prevent it [the genocide of Christians, Muslims, Kashmiris, Bengalis, Sikhs, Dalits and other nations] elsewhere in India where it is sure to recur if Hindu terrorism again goes unpunished.
