Part II of the betrayal by PM I K Gujral (IKG). #Thread

IKG served as a PM between April 1997 to March 1998.

And R&AW suffered massively. As usual, IKG wanted peace with Pak. What did peace mean for IKG? https://t.co/DANcFZiF4U


2/7

Peace meant closure of the two secret operations by the covert groups of R&AW as a goodwill gesture to Pak:

Counterintelligence- X (CIT-X) for Pak & Counterintelligence- J (CIT-J) for Khalistan (funded by ISI to separate Punjab from India).

3/7

A low-grade but steady campaign of bombings in major Pak cities, Kar@ch! and L@hore were carried out.

This forced the head of the ISI to meet his counterpart in RAW and agree on the rules of engagement as far as Punjab was concerned.

4/7

The negotiation was brokered by then-Jordanian Crown Prince Hassan Talal, whose wife, Sarvath, was of Pak origin.

It was agreed that Pak would not carry out activities in the Punjab as long as RAW refrained from creating mayhem and violence inside Pak.

5/7

Rabinder Singh, the RAW double agent who defected to the US in 2004, helped run CIT-J in its early years.

Both these covert groups used the services of cross-border traffickers to ferry weapons & funds across the border, much as their ISI counterparts were doing.
