TTP’s splinter group possibly involved in Quetta attack: Sartaj

ISLAMABAD: PM’s advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has said there are indications of a splinter group of TTP's involvement in Quetta attack.

Briefing the media in Islamabad on Friday, Sartaj Aziz said Afghan intelligence agency NDS is known to be indirectly supporting such groups and there is also collaboration between NDS and Indian intelligence agency RAW.

“Arrested RAW agent Kulbhushan Yadev is being investigated as he was not alone and was working through an elaborate network,” he added.

About Indian involvement in subversive activities in Pakistan, the Advisor said Pakistan has already shared a dossier on the issue with the world community and UN.

He said the dossier would be updated before next UN General Assembly Session.

Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan has decided to propose to India exclusive dialogue on Kashmir and added Pakistan Foreign Secretary would be writing a letter to his Indian counterpart in this regard.

To a question, the Advisor said Kashmir would be on top of the agenda of Pakistan during forthcoming session of the UN General Assembly.

Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan has written to the UN Human Rights Council on human rights violations and the Council has conveyed to India that it wants to send a fact-finding mission to Occupied Kashmir.

The Advisor said there is positive progress on the issue of Pakistan's membership for Nuclear Suppliers' Group.

“The need for practical implementation of understanding between Pakistan and Afghanistan for closer coordination between ISI and NDS,” he emphasized.
