IN a significant blow to foreign-sponsored terrorism, law enforcement agencies have successfully apprehended ten suspected operatives working for India’s notorious intelligence agency, RAW, in separate operations across Sindh and Punjab.
In Karachi, four local fishermen were arrested by the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) in a joint operation with intelligence services. These individuals stand accused of spying for RAW, sending sensitive imagery of military installations to Indian handlers and receiving payments, liquor and weapons in exchange for their treachery. The recovery of mobile data, firearms, grenades and a vehicle underlines the severity of their mission and the threat it posed. Meanwhile, Punjab Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) dismantled a sophisticated RAW-backed network operating in Toba Tek Singh and Bahawalpur. The arrest of six more suspects and seizure of detonators, strategic maps, explosives and other sensitive materials exposed a sinister plot to attack mosques and railway stations—potentially catastrophic acts of violence narrowly averted.
We commend the tireless efforts of our security forces and intelligence agencies. Their vigilance, professionalism and relentless pursuit of national security have once again thwarted India’s nefarious attempts. These operations reflect not only tactical success but strategic readiness in the face of a complex and multi-pronged threat. India often seeks to portray itself as a victim of terrorism. However, the ground reality tells a different story—one backed by evidence and repeated exposure. Pakistan has long maintained, with substantiated intelligence dossiers, that India uses its intelligence agency, RAW, to orchestrate terror activities within Pakistan, using local proxies, funding networks and foreign conduits to carry out acts of sabotage and violence. The recent arrests and the materials recovered are further proof—concrete and irrefutable—that India has not abandoned its aggressive and hostile designs. It is high time the international community wakes up to this alarming pattern. States that claim to champion human rights and the rule of law must not turn a blind eye to Indian transgressions. Condemnation alone is not enough. There must be accountability. Sanctions, investigations and diplomatic pressure must follow, or else the world risks enabling a state that increasingly acts with impunity. Pakistan, for its part, remains resolute. Our defence forces as well as intelligence and law enforcement agencies have time and again demonstrated their capacity and will to defend the nation against both internal threats and external conspiracies. India may try to disrupt our peace and progress, but it will never succeed.
