India: Baluchistan Pakistan's making; Samjhauta blasts and 26/11 case different

NEW DELHI: The situation in Baluchistan is due to Pakistan’s faultlines and India has no interest in it, while the Samjhauta blasts case is headed for a conviction in a year’s time and cannot be compared to the 26/11 case: This will be India’s counter to Pakistan’s two main agenda points for the NSA-level talks, along with a thick dossier and a swelled-up list of over 60 Indian fugitives.

Former intelligence bureau chief Asif Ibrahim — who was recently appointed special envoy to West Asia and Afghanistan-Pakistan region — is compiling the dossier for the talks, a senior government official told ET.

Intelligence Bureau and Research and Analysis Wing have sent their inputs directly to Ibrahim while the home ministry compiled the inputs from the National Investigation Agency and forwarded them to Ibrahim’s desk at National Security Council Secretariat in the Prime Minister’s Office. NSA Ajit Doval, to whom Ibrahim reports, met home minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday to discuss broad contours of the upcoming talks.

India hopes to pin Pakistani on Mohammad Naveed’s disclosures. Naveed’s interrogation report, a digest of which will be handed over to Pakistan, spells out his family’s location at Rafiq Colony of Ghulam Mohammad Abad in Faisalabad.

Hafiz Saeed and some men, whom Naveed suspects to be Pakistani Army and ISI officers, visited his terror camp in Markazi Aksa near Shahabi Nala for motivation and tips on how to attack security forces, officials say citing his disclosures.

“There are nearly 25 LeT terrorists at this camp. They were shown Hafiz Saeed’s virulent speeches for motivation… these public speeches will also be raised,” an official said.
