Pakistani terrorist troops are planning to attack both India and Afghanistan, according to reports.
Daniel Coats, Director of National Intelligence told members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence during a Congressional hearing on Worldwide threats came to the forefront.
“Islamabad has failed to curb militants and terrorists in Pakistan,” Coats said.
“These groups will present a sustained threat to the United States’s interest in the region and continue to plan and conduct attacks in India and Afghanistan,” Coats said.
Pakistan, he rued, is expanding its nuclear arsenal in pursuing tactical nuclear weapons, potentially lowering the threshold for their use.
“This deterioration is undermined by its dire economic situation. Afghanistan will struggle to curb its dependence on external support until it contains the insurgency or reaches a peace agreement with the Taliban,” he said.
“Meanwhile, we assess that Taliban is likely to continue to make gains especially in rural areas. Afghan Security Forces performance will probably worsen due to a combination of Taliban operations, combat casualties, desertion, poor logistic support and weak leadership,” Coats said.
Pakistan is gradually being deserted from the global landscape, while India’s international ties are becoming stronger. India’s position on a global landscape is only rising by the day, while Pakistan is being ridiculed and slammed in the global arena.
“Pakistan is likely turn to China to offset its isolation, empowering a relationship that will help Beijing to project influence into the Indian Ocean,” Coats testified before the committee.
While Pakistan may be bracing up for attacking India, the country is fully geared up to counter any terrorism activity. It is the intense patrolling and vigilance which can save India from the menace of terrorism. May what come, India’s leader Narendra Modi will stand strong against the terrorist troops. Additionally, India’s borders will be fully sealed by 2019 to thwart terrorist infiltration into the country’s borders.
