'Indian Government organised killings in Pakistan to eliminate terrorists', says Guardian report citing intel sources
FirstpostThe report claims that nearly 20 killings since 2020 in Pakistan were executed by unidentified gunmen, allegedly with the involvement of Indian intelligence. These operations purportedly targeted Sikh separatists associated with the Khalistan movement Indian and Pakistani intelligence officials have been anonymously quoted in a report by The Guardian saying Indian government has been involved in targeted killings in Pakistan as part of a broader strategy to eliminate terrorists residing on foreign soil. Indian intelligence officers claim that the shift towards targeting dissidents abroad was triggered by the 2019 Pulwama attack, where a suicide bomber targeted a military convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir. Analysts feel Pakistan has been reluctant to publicly acknowledge the killings as most of the targets are known terrorists and associates of banned militant groups that Islamabad has long denied sheltering, the report says.
