Geneva (Switzerland), Mar 09 (ANI): Political experts and human rights activists have accused Pakistan of promoting cross-border terrorism in India and Afghanistan, during an event held in Geneva. Titled “International Seminar on Cross-Border Terrorism and Human Security”, the event was organised by International Center Against Terrorism in collaboration with RADDHO and other NGOs. It focuses on the ways to prevent trans-border and transnational terrorism. Arif Aajakia, a human rights activist from Pakistan laid stress on how the country is sheltering various terrorist groups for its proxy war against India and Afghanistan. The speakers also laid emphasis on how Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan are brainwashing the civilians and instigating them to be part of ‘jihad’ or holy war. Charles Graves, a human rights defender and expert on Pakistan affairs said, “In Balochistan, the south of Pakistan, the people who are not Baloch but are trying to bring the Baloch in some sort of ‘jihad’.” New Delhi and Kabul have accused Pakistan on several occasions of promoting terrorism. Pakistan is already on ‘grey list’ of Financial Action Task Force, for financing terror outfits based in its territory.
