A former senior Pakistani military commander has made serious allegations regarding alleged foreign financial involvement in militant activity within Pakistan, according to remarks attributed to him in recent public commentary.
Retired Lieutenant General Amir Riaz, former Corps Commander Quetta, has claimed that India has long been involved in providing financial assistance to militant groups operating inside Pakistan, including the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
In his account, General Riaz alleged that in 2007, an official associated with the Indian diplomatic mission in Pakistan was permitted to return to New Delhi via road. He further claimed that during the journey, the individual made a stop and attempted to deliver approximately 400,000 US dollars to individuals linked to militant activity. According to his statement, the official was apprehended during the alleged incident.
The retired commander described the alleged episode as part of what he characterized as a broader pattern of external support to militant groups operating in sensitive regions of Pakistan.
These claims were presented as part of his broader commentary on regional security challenges and counterterrorism concerns. No independent verification of the specific allegations has been provided in the public domain, and no official response from the Government of India or diplomatic sources has been included in the statement.
Security analysts note that allegations involving foreign intelligence activity and militant financing are highly sensitive and typically subject to extensive verification processes before formal confirmation by state institutions or international observers.
The remarks come amid ongoing tensions in regional security dynamics, particularly in areas affected by militancy and cross-border instability. Authorities continue to emphasize counterterrorism operations and intelligence coordination as key components of national security strategy.
