| India: ISI to enhance terror funding | | | New Delhi | June 11
India's intelligence agencies claimed Pakistan has planned to enhance financial support to India-based terror outfits.
According to an Intelligence Bureau report, Pakistan's Inter State Intelligence is planning to substantially enhance the financial support to militant groups operating in strife-torn Jammu & Kashmir state, to increase their activities in the run-up to the assembly elections in the state.
The intelligence agency said the ISI recently briefed the Pakistani political establishment on the militants' activities. The report said the "freedom movement" in the state was weakening as the jihadi groups were facing financial constraints and the security forces had also tightened a noose around them, The Tribune newspaper reported Tuesday.
The report has come at a time when the new government in Pakistan has expressed its desire to improve relations with India and the two countries are discussing dates for the next meeting of the joint anti-terror mechanism set up by them in 2006, local media reports said.
The report says the ISI proposed to double the financial support to the militants so that they can disrupt the polls, adding the ISI assured the leadership it would make every effort to see that no pro-Pakistan individual or group participated in the electoral exercise. |
