Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has alleged that Indian intelligence agencies and terrorists have joined hands to foment unrest in Pakistan.

The statement, reported by Radio Pakistan , came days after India’s Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar remarked that, “terrorists have to be neutralised only through terrorists.”

Asif said the Indian intelligence network and terrorists have joined hands to foment unrest in Pakistan.

He said the banned terror group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is fighting Indian proxy war against Pakistan.

The minister also alleged that India was involved in terrorist activities in Balochistan. India has always rejected such allegations by Pakistan.

Top Pakistan officials in a series of statements have alleged that India’s external intelligence agency RAW was fomenting unrest in Pakistan.
