Baloch separatist movement not fuelled by India: US
Washington, May 26 (PTI) The separatist movement in
Pakistan's Balochistan province is fuelled by the country's
domestic policies and not India, a top US official said
Thursday.
"I don't think that the existence of a terrorist or a
separatist movement in Balochistan is fuelled by Indian
financing or anything like that," US Assistant Secretary of
State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake said.
"I think it's fuelled by domestic issues that are
internal to Pakistan," Blake said in his interaction with
Defense Writers Group here.
Pakistan has repeatedly accused India of supporting
the rebels in Balochistan in order to destabilize the country.
India, however, has categorically denied the allegations.
