Colonel Pawar’s BLA, TTP funding remarks remove mask from India
New Delhi: Confessions of state-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan by a retired Indian Army Colonel, Rajesh Pawar, a defense journalist associated with India Today, has removed mask from Indian face.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in an interview clip widely circulated online, Col Pawar said that India, in collusion with Israel, was arming and financing the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) —groups designated as terrorist organisations internationally. He further admitted that “while Afghanistan provides safe havens, India supplies the money and Israel delivers weapons and intelligence.”
The remarks have been seized upon by critics who say the confession exposes India’s “Three Ds strategy — Demonise, Destroy, Destabilise Pakistan” through proxy warfare and media narratives. They argue the statement contradicts New Delhi’s frequent international assertions blaming Pakistan for cross-border terrorism.
“Colonel Pawar’s confession is a smoking gun. It proves that the real sponsor of terrorism in the region is India itself,” the commentary accompanying the clip stated, demanding Pakistan treat such activities as “direct aggression” and urging the international community to take note.
Col Rajesh Pawar, a former Indian Army officer now working as a war correspondent reporting from conflict zones including Ukraine and Israel-Hamas fronts, has not issued a clarification on the clip till filing of this report.
