India denies support to violent activities in Pakistan''s Balochistan

India Thursday denied its role in any activities in Pakistan's Balochistan province, which Islamabad has alleged in the recent Anti-Terror Joint Mechanism meeting.

Speaking in Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament) at Delhi today, India's External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said, "I can state that neither any Indian agency or consulate is involved in any activities in Balochistan".

"In the past, Pakistan has raised objections to some of our consulates in Afghanistan, saying the level of trade does not justify this. We have said that we have a number of projects underway in Afghanistan and that the consulates are there because of these projects," Mukherjee pointed out.

I think Pakistan is suffering from a guilt complex in accusing India of activities in Balochistan. It thinks everyone is like it, meddling in separatist tendencies of other countries' states/provinces.

In the past, Pakistan has raised objections to some of our consulates in Afghanistan, saying the level of trade does not justify this.

What the heck is Pakistan's problem with how many embassies/consulates India has in Afghanistan? Does Pakistan still think it rules over Afghanistan to be bothered about its self-projected security issues? And of course India is building roads and rail-tracks in Afghanistan. It's doing something productive and not building a medieval cult of violence like the Taliban which Pakistan had built instead of modernising Afghanistan when it had control over it for around a decade.

There is another factor which contributes to it.
When Pakistan allowed and aided terrorists to operate against India from its lands, how can its own land be safe from these terrorists.
It is these terrorists who are constantly in confrontation with local people, police and army in NWFP.
Perhaps Pakistan is paying for its own deeds.
But still the payment seems too little. If you consider the factor that more than 25000people have been killed in insurgency related incidents by the militants in India with support from Pakistan.
