According to Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, proof will soon be presented regarding 'India's involvement in Balochistan'.
Reportedly, the issue had been brought up for the first time during his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh and was made part of the joint statement. Gilani stated that Pakistan wants good relations with its neighbours and that composite talks are a must to cement relations with India. Gilani added that the ongoing operation in Southern Waziristhan will soon end, and that there is no military operation under way in Balochistan.
Pak Interior Minister Rehman Malik had earlier claimed that India is funding Taliban fighters that are based along the border of Afghanistan, a situation which is leading to unrest within Pakistan. Malik went on to add that he is 'absolutely convinced' that India is a certified hostile agency that is shelling out millions to Taliban in order to buy weapons and cause unrest in Pakistan.
Asked during an interview to a TV news channel as to who was backing the Taliban, he said: "There are certain hostile elements against Pakistan and there are certain hostile agencies which do not want Pakistan to be (stabilised)." When asked if India is indeed a hostile agency, Malik said, "Yes, of course, I am convinced. I have no doubt about it. I was very open. I have given the full details. If the interior minister of India or anyone else wants to confront me, I will be very happy to confront them because I know what I am saying," he added.
Malik said that India has performed all kinds of clandestine operations in Balochistan and threatened to put all the damning evidence on display much to the shock of the entire world. "I invite their interior minister or anyone else (to come to Pakistan) and I will put on record all the material about India's interference in Balochistan. I'll prove it to the world," he added.
