India supporting separatists, insurgent groups in Balochistan: Musharraf

LAHORE - Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has reportedly accused India of supporting terrorist activities inside Pakistan.

“India is supporting various separatists and insurgent groups of Balochistan and fuelling insurgency to destabilise Pakistan,” the Daily Times quoted Musharraf, as saying.

Musharraf also alleged that Balochistan leader Shahzain Bugti was getting arms from India through Afghanistan, which were being used for killing Punjabis in the province.

The former President also criticised Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and the Punjab government for supporting Baloch nationalists in their cause.

“They (Shahzain and his father Talal Bugti) get state protocol, when they come to Punjab and stay at Raiwind House as guests.

Nawaz is supporting them just for his political mileage,” Musharraf said. (ANI)
