Pakistan army has dubbed the allegations of links of Pakistan Intelligence agencies with Taliban and sponsoring a large-scale guerrilla war through Afghan proxies as baseless, concocted and malicious.

Chris Alexander, who was Canada’s ambassador in Kabul from 2003 to 2005 and later deputy of the UN mission until 2009 writing in the Globe and Mail under the title ‘The huge scale of Pakistan’s complicity’, had alleged, “The Pakistan army under Gen. Kayani is sponsoring a large-scale, covert guerrilla war through Afghan proxies – whose strongholds in Balochistan and Waziristan are flourishing.An army spokesman told Online that first the Wikileaks alleged documents, remarks of UK Premier David Cameron and now observations of former ambassador are interlinked to malign the Pakistani armed forces and intelligence agencies. He said all such allegations are unfounded and such allegations could hamper the war on terror. Everyone knows Pakistan is playing a front line state in the war against terror and the world community has acknowledged our role.

According to the Canadian diplomat the Pakistan army under General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani is sponsoring a large-scale guerrilla war through Afghan proxies to keep India out of Afghanistan.

The Pakistani general has even told President Hamid Karzai that he can broker a peace deal with the Taliban – only if Indian consulates in Afghanistan are closed, he wrote.

“The principal drivers of violence are no longer, if they ever were, inside Afghanistan… ISI is the main driver of the conflict… Gen. Kayani and others will deny complicity. But as the WikiLeaks material demonstrates, their heavy-handed involvement is now obvious at all levels,” the Canadian diplomat had wrote in his article.

He said the Pakistan army’s interference in Afghanistan violates the UN Charter and poses a threat to world peace. “It deserves serious discussion in multilateral forums, including the UN.”
