India uses terrorism sponsored by the State as a policy against Pakistan, in particular in Balutchistan, said the director general of inter-service public relations (ISPR), General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Wednesday.
In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera TVThe military spokesman said that India support for terrorist activities was to destabilize the security of Pakistan, especially in the Balutchistan volatile region.
“These harmful conceptions of India are a systematic conspiracy to destabilize Pakistan, especially in Balutchistan,” he said. He added that India had admitted several times to support terrorism in Pakistan.
Lieutenant-General Chaudhry reiterated that Pakistan considers any aggression against its sovereign territory as a direct threat to regional stability.
“India’s political leadership has repeatedly admitted having supported terrorism in Pakistan,” said General Chaudhry, appointing Ajit Doval, India National Security Advisor, as a brain behind the Netle Delhi -sponsored terrorism network.

“The current Fitna al-Khawarij is a continuation of the erroneous ideology which has historically led to the murder of Muslims under a false religious story,” he said.
In Islam, only the state has the power to wage a holy war (jihad) or engage in the fight, and no individual, organization or group has this power, he said.

“Khawarij has nothing to do with Islam, humanity, Pakistan or Pakistani traditions,” said General Chaudhry.
