Indian spy presence in Balochistan was declaration of unconventional war: Lt-Gen Amir Riaz

QUETTA: Commander Southern Command Lt General Aamir Riaz on Friday said the arrest of Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav from Balochistan was a declaration of unconventional war by India.

Speaking to newsmen in Quetta Press Club, he said that conspiracies were being hatched against Pakistan externally as well as internally.

“There were many people in this country who have gone astray and are involved in terrorism in the name of religion”, he said.

Kulbhushan Yadav was arrested by intelligence agencies in Balochistan in March and he was later shifted to Islamabad for investigation.

During preliminary investigations, the undercover Indian agent had revealed that his main agenda was to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through propaganda and to create disharmony among the Baloch nationalist political parties.

In a video confession that military spokesman Gen Asim Bajwa played during a press conference, Yadav said: “I am still a serving officer in the Indian Navy and will be due for retirement in 2022."

“By 2002, I commenced intelligence operations. In 2003, I established a small business in Chabahar in Iran. As I was able to achieve undetected existence and visits to Karachi in 2003 and 2004 and, having done some basic assignments within India for RAW, I was picked up by RAW in 2013,” he added.

The Indian spy said that he had been directing various activities in Karachi and Balochistan at the behest of RAW since 2013. He also confessed of playing a role in deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi.
