ISI uses covert modules in J&K - Subversive foreign outfits' threat to India: IB

NEW DELHI, Apr 4: The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has informed the Government that subversive foreign outfits have plans to pose the 'gravest' threat to India's internal security.

Doubts in this regard have been set at rest, with the covert links forged by subversive outfits, including Pakistan's ISI, with ideological extremists and insurgents in India. The IB's 'presentation paper' available with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is criss-crossed with several instances in support of organisation's findings on foreign subversives' nexus with separatist militants and Left extremists in India.

The ISI, the paper is said to have established, uses covert modules in Jammu and Kashmir as well as in northeast region to fan insurgency. The game plan is to intensify its proxy war operation from J&K to the northeast, strengthening the strategic alliance between Kashmir militants and international terrorist groups.

Finding Number two: The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has tied up with the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) and the People's War Group (PWG) to carve out a 'Compact Revolutionary Zone' extending from Nepal through Bihar and the Dandakarnya region to Andhra Pradesh. The Left extremist attacks in Andhra Pradesh and Maoist uprising in Nepal are pointers to covert links subversive foreign outfits have forged with Left extremists and separatist militants in India.

Finding Number three: Maoists in Kathmandu have tapped the underworld in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to procure arms and ammunition. Doubts in this regard have been removed after the recent interception of trucks along the Indo-Nepal border. Seizures along the border have unearthed large quantities of RDX and Gelatin sticks and caches of locally made revolvers and pistols.

Finding Number four: Ideological motivation of Left extremists in India comes from the Maoists in Nepal. The PWG's strategy of targeting top politicians in Andhra Pradesh is similar to to that the Maoists' strategy in Nepal.

Finding Number five: ISI is the main agency using covert modules through its network within India and from its bases in India's neighbourhood.

Finding Number six: Most vulnerable among the States, on the ISI list, are Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Maharashtra, Bihar, UP, Gujarat, West Bengal and Assam. Finding Number seven: Efforts have been launched to revive militancy in Punjab by a core of 250 militants of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir living in India as well as abroad. The ISI continues to patronize several of their leaders by giving them refuge in Pakistan.

The Intelligence Bureau has also apprised the Home Minister, Mr L K Advani, of how and when the ISI is using, and would like to use, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh to create a network for sabotage, subversion and espionage on Indian soil. No wonder, finding Number eight: ISI also uses terrorist training camps in these countries and supplies arms to ULFA camps in Nepal and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland. Besides training terrorists, the ISI encourages illegal migration from Bangladesh with the aim of changing the demographic patterns in the Indian border States. It also finds easy recruits from the migrants.
