US report details direct RAW involvement in East Pakistan secession
A
sensational American report has confirmed the Research and Analysis
Wing (RAW), India’s most powerful intelligence agency, was directly
involved in the secession of East Pakistan into Bangladesh, and is
currently engaged in similar activities. RAW has a long history of
activity in Bangladesh supporting both secular forces and the area’s
Hindu minority, masterminding the break up of Pakistan in 1971,
says
the report made available The report has been prepared by the innocent
sounding Federation of American Scientists (FAS), a group which is
however engaged in analysis and advocacy on science, technology and
public policy concerning global security, especially about countries
which have nuclear capability.
It is a privately funded
non-profit policy organisation, whose Board of Sponsors includes 55
American Nobel laureates. FAS was originally founded as the Federation
of Atomic Scientists in 1945 by members of the Manhattan Project, who
produced the first atomic bomb. RAW is extensively engaged in
disinformation campaigns, espionage, sabotage and terrorism against
Pakistan and other neighboring countries, reveals the sensational
secret report. It also gives details of the truly alarming involvement
of RAW in terrorist activities in Pakistan. The report reveals the
involvement of RAW in Bangladesh dating from the 1960s, when it
promoted dissatisfaction against Pakistan in the then East Pakistan,
including funding Mujibur Rahman’s general election in 1970 and
providing training and arming to the Mukti Bahini. The report claims an
estimated 35,000 RAW agents have entered Pakistan at various times
between 1983-99, with 12,000 having worked in the past or working
presently in Sindh, 10,000 in Punjab 8,000 in North West Frontier
Province and 5,000 in Balochistan. “As many as 40 terrorist camps are
currently operating at Rajasthan, East Punjab, [occupied] Kashmir,
Uttar Pradesh and other parts of India and are run by RAW’s Special
Service Bureau [SSB],” the report reveals. The report further confirms
that throughout the Afghan War, RAW was responsible for the planning
and execution of terrorist activities in Pakistan to deter Islamabad
from supporting the Afghan liberation movement against India’s ally,
the Soviet Union.
