Former Lieutenant General (retd) Amir Riaz has shared details regarding long-standing foreign involvement spanning from Kabul to Balochistan.
He referenced a significant photograph shared by Mir Hazar Khan Bajrani, a former military commander of a militant movement who later reconciled with Pakistan. The photograph reportedly depicted a meeting in Kabul featuring the head of the Afghan Intelligence Agency (KHAD), the station chief of the Indian Intelligence Agency (RAW), and officials from the Soviet Union’s KGB.
According to Amir Riaz, the context provided by Bajrani clarifies the decades-old nature of this external interference.
Lieutenant General (retd) Amir Riaz further detailed an incident from 2006-07 involving Deepak Kaul, an officer at the Indian Embassy in Pakistan who served as a commercial attaché. Kaul was reportedly apprehended while travelling by road to Delhi with government permission.
During the journey, he was caught meeting with representatives of Baloch militants and providing them with $400,000. Due to his diplomatic status, he was subsequently repatriated. Riaz said that these events demonstrate that current security challenges are part of a continuous effort by external elements that have persisted for decades.
