Pakistan Accuses India Of Training Islamic State

What has happened?

Buoyed by its success in facilitating Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan,
Pakistan on Sunday sought to turn up the heat on India by publishing a dossier on Kashmir and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in New Delhi Of running five training camps for the Islamic State.

Ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, Pakistan came out with a 131-page dossiercompiling its oft-repeated allegations against India about
“Atrocities, war crimes, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and torture”as well as “rapes and molestation of women” in Jammu and Kashmir.
Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government not only reiterated its allegations against the Government of India and its armed forces on human right violations in J&K,
But went on to allege that New Delhi was training the Islamic State terrorists in camps in Gulmarg, Raipur, Jodhpur, Chakrata, Anupgarh and Bikaner.

The activities of the Islamic State (IS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in South Asia and Central Asia returned under scanner in the region,
After one of its offshoot – Islamic State Khorasan Province or the ISIS-K – was accused by the United States of carrying out an attack near the Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul on August 27. It killed over 110 people,
Including US soldiers as well as the Afghans, who had thronged the airport and the adjoining areas, scrambling to fly out in the wake of the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan on August 15 last.

New Delhi has not yet officially responded to the dossier published by Islamabad.
A source in New Delhi, however, dismissed the dossier as nothing but yet another example of Pakistan’s baseless propaganda against India.
The source also rubbished it as “preposterous and outlandish” Pakistan’s new allegation against the Modi Government about training the IS terrorists in India.

The dossier published by Pakistan accused 1,178 officers and personnel of the security forces of India of committing 3,432 cases of “war crimes” in J&K.

The dossier’s long list of Indian war-crimes in Kashmir, similarly, contain several demonstrable falsehoods.
For example, it claims Indian forces “raped and murdered 8 year old Asifa Bano, (a) resident of village Rasana district Kathua”.
Even a few minutes with Google would have shown the authors of the dossier that six men were convicted and sentenced for the child’s killing last year, none of whom was an Indian official.
Another phone interception cited by the dossier in support of its claims has a purported Indian Army officer saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given orders for “burning 35 villages in Kashmir” and, perhaps more mystifyingly, “80 vehicles in Jammu”.
There is no record suggesting either of these acts ever took place, or were even attempted, rendering the authenticity of the intercept questionable.

It devotes considerable space to the discussion of unmarked graves
in Kashmir —
Omitting to mention that the issue has been discussed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly and the state’s courts over decades.
There is no mention, either, of the fact that many of those in the graves were jihadists killed attempting to cross the Line of Control.

The Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India are expected to address the UN General Assembly in New York on September 24 and 25.
Another source in New Delhi told DH that Islamabad’s new allegation about the Modi Government’s “role in supporting” the IS was intended to embitter India’s relations with the US and Russia.

Q) The India and Pakistan border known as Radcliffe Line was officially announced on?
