  • The Special Service Bureau of RAW was believed to be running as many as 40 "terrorist training camp" facilities in Rajasthan, Punjab, Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of India. The then-Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif and many senior ministers within the Pakistani government condemned India for the upsurge of terrorist incidents, as well as for having a hand in sporadic Sunni-Shi'a sectarian conflicts in the country. According to Paul R. Pillar in Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy, India is likely engaged in small-scale terrorism in Pakistan. He notes that India's activities may be in reprisal for what it is has alleged as "Pakistani-supported activity in Kashmir". The closest thing to a major power supporting terrorism is India ... But whatever it is doing is on a small scale and aimed solely at Pakistan, not at U.S. power and influence. —Paul R. Pillar (2004), Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy, pp.51 In the early 1990s, Pakistan accused the Research and Analysis Wing of supporting the Seraiki nationalist movement in southern Punjab, which included providing financial support to promote their activities; an "International Seraiki Conference" was organised in Delhi in 1993. On 4 May 1994, Pakistani authorities arrested two terrorists in Azad Kashmir of Indian nationality, when they tried to cross the Line of Control at night. The authorities retrieved 18 kilograms of explosives along with accessories and two tubes of rocket launchers. Upon interrogation, the militants confessed that they had forcibly been recruited by RAW and received training in explosives handling by a Burkha Rifle unit of the Indian Army. They were also promised a "handsome amount" if they returned successfully but if they refused to carry out the orders, they were threatened of being "shot dead and declared intruders."
