India must keep an eye on Pakistan’s turmoil
Hindustan TimesThe turmoil in Pakistan under a caretaker government — exemplified by the unprecedented charge by President Arif Alvi that he didn’t sign two key bills into law, and that his signature was forged — is destabilising its security situation. As the threat continues to grow, India must closely monitor developments and prepare a comprehensive strategy to counter the rising influence of ISKP in the region. On July 30, a devastating suicide bombing at a political rally of JUI-F in Khar city of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was linked to ISKP. Subsequently, when Hafiz Saeed and other TTP commanders joined ISKP in 2014, their animosity towards JUI-F — combined with the Islamic State’s virulent ideology — provided ISKP with the justification to condemn JUI-F’s beliefs. Although Deobandi Islam and the philosophy practised in India do not align with the ideologies of the Taliban or JUI-F in Pakistan, ISKP’s media publications have revealed ambitions to establish a presence in India.
