'Pak exerting pressure to revive Punjab militancy' |
2004-08-17 |
Pakistan continues to provide sanctuary to various Sikh militant groups and ISI was also putting pressure on these outfits to revive terrorist activities in Punjab, says the annual report of Union Home Ministry. "There are reports that Pak-ISI continues to put pressure on Pakistan-based pro-Khalistan militants to revive terrorist activities in Punjab," the report for the year 2003-04 said. It said that Pakistan continues to provide sanctuary to leaders of important Pro-Khalistan militant outfits like Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) headed by Wadhawa Singh, Khalistan Commando Force led by PS Panjwar and International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) led by Lakhbir Singh Rode. Militant groups like Khalistan Zindabad Force led by Ranjit Singh alias "Neeta" and Dal Khalsa International led by Gajinder Singh also continued to receive sanctuary from Pakistani soil, the report said. It said that BKI and ISYF had been banned even by the United Kingdom Anti-terrorism Act 2000 and have also been included in the list of terrorist organisations by the European Union also. |

#1 Let's do the math: ISI implicated in Taleban Afghanistan ISI implicated in Kashmir ISI implicated in Punjab ISI implicated in Indian state house terror attack How about the ISI getting it's clock cleaned? Soon enough Musharraf is going to be offed by ISI pro-terror elements. Isn't it time he did a little house cleaning before he takes the dirt nap? What use is an intelligence organ that routinely tips your hand to the enemy and helps them plot your own downfall? |
