WASHINGTON – On October 22, 2015, A RAW agent Ahmer Mustikhan had heckledPakistan’s visiting prime minister during his speech at the United StatesInstitute for Peace (USIP) for many minutes before he was whisked out ofthe room by security personnel.
Indian news channels used the heckling incident to run news and talk shows,featuring Ahmer Mustikhan and his views.
Mustikhan has said the Indian spy agency had asked him to heckle then-primeminister Sharif and embarrass him by bringing up the issue of Balochistanduring the event.
Mustikhan says in a series of videos that he “was promised huge help bythose who were interested in the heckling of Nawaz Sharif. None of thosepromises were ever fulfilled. There was this gentleman in the Indianembassy who left (for India) in January and never fulfilled his promise.There were other things that happened too,” said Mustikhan in his broadcast.
During the same visit when Sharif addressed the General Debate of theUnited Nations General Assembly, Mustikhan led a protest against Pakistanoutside the venue for an organisation called “Free Balochistan CampaignUSA” and accused the Pakistani premier of being involved in human rightsviolations in Balochistan and supporting Bin Laden.
Mustikhan said in the first video that he been a long-standing friend ofIndia and openly sang “Jeeay Hind, Banday Mahatram and Long Live India”,but his heart has been broken and that he was let down by RAW operatives.
He alleged in the video that RAW had given three Baloch militant groups $15million each in the last few years.
“RAW’s system is so corrupt that its high officials keep 40 percent ofwhat’s earmarked. India should have been engaged in public diplomacy andhelping those who are involved in raising the profile of Balochistan issuebut while China is trying to build, India is choosing to bomb. India isgoing in the opposite direction—it should have helped the people who areinvolved in diplomatic effort,” he said.
