Afghan intelligence playing into India’s hands: Musharraf

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad-Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has said that Afghanistan’s intelligence agency — the National Directorate of Security (NDS) was playing into Indian hands, and was being used as a tool for facilitating terror groups in Pakistan, media reported on Monday.

“This operation (Zarb-e-Azb) cleaned up all the camps and launching pads of terrorists, who were supported by the Indian spy agency with the collaboration of NDS, to destabilise the tribal areas,” Musharraf was quoted .

The former Pakistan military chief said that operation Zarb-e-Azb had no shortcomings as it was specifically for North Waziristan. “Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has always been a sectarian outfit and is extensively involved in killing minorities in Quetta,” he said.

He said that in his tenure as a military chief and President of the country, Paksitan was succeeding. “We were able to bring India to the negotiating table and to sort out issues that India was not ready to discuss,” he said.
