Mirza further said that,
1. During my visit to India, I received various privileges from the foreign affairs department of Pakistan. Usually when you apply for a visa to India, they only allow you to visit three places. However, at that time, Khurshid Kasuri was the foreign minister who helped me to get a visa for seven cities.
2. I have been to India many times. I was invited by Hamid Ansari, the Vice President of India, and Zafarul Islam, the editor of Milli Gazette. I visited India 5 times. I have visited cities like Delhi, Patna, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai. In 2011, I also met the chairman of the Delhi Minorities Commission, as well as 56 Muslim MPs from across the country. They helped me a lot.
3. I had given the information gathered during this visit to Khurshid. He passed the information to the Pakistani army chief. The army chief then asked me to gather more information.
4. I had studied the culture of India, as well as its weakness. I also gathered information related to how does India work as a country, how do Muslims live in India, how does the separatist movement run in Kashmir, etc. I also had friendships with the editors and owners of several news outlets.
5. All in all, I had given the ISI all the information it needed to bother the Indian Government; however, the Pakistani leadership did not use this information properly.
Editorial Viewpoint
Indians must have by now realised the purpose of those who visit India from Pakistan ! So, it is high time to reconsider whether Pakistanis should be allowed to visit India ! |
