In a resolute statement in Mid-September 2025, Pakistan’s armed forces exposed the ugly underbelly of India’s foreign policy. Following daring raids near the Afghan border that neutralized 35 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan(TTP) militants, known as “Fitna-al-Khawarij(FAK)” radicals, officials reiterated that the FAK and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) are nothing more than “Indian assets,” funded, trained, and directed by India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). This fact, backed by concrete evidence of RAW’s involvement in attacks on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, comes hot on the heels of Pakistan submitting detailed dossiers to the United Nations. Pakistani media outlets like Samaa TV and Dawn rightly highlighted how FAK exploits Afghan soil for its operations, while Indian propagandists in The Times of India dismissed it as “desperate deflection”, but make no mistake: this is not deflection, it is a clarion call for the world to confront India’s diabolical troika with FAK and BLA, a sinister alliance hell-bent on destabilizing Pakistan.
India’s whole political campaign and foreign policy revolves around defaming Pakistan. Its latest attempt to defame Pakistan came on September 24, 2025, when it took the floor at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to condemn Pakistan for air strikes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Indian delegates called Pakistan a “nation that bombs its own citizens” and accused Islamabad of exporting terrorism. Yet, reports from local authorities clarify the context: FAK militants had stockpiled explosives, used civilians as human shields, and recently placed weapons in mosques. Pakistan’s precision strikes aimed to neutralize imminent threats, yet India seeks to weaponize tragedy into propaganda, deflecting global attention from its decades-long proxy war.
This recent revelation is no isolated outburst but the latest chapter in a protracted saga of Indian aggression. For years, Pakistan has endured India’s proxy warfare, designed to bleed our nation from within while hypocritically preaching peace. The term “Diabolical Troika” perfectly encapsulates this unholy trinity: India as the puppet master, pulling strings on FAK’s jihadist fanaticism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and BLA’s separatist insurgency in Balochistan. These groups, ideologically poles apart, FAK’s radical Islamism versus BLA’s pseudo-secular nationalism, are united only by RAW’s rupees and rifles. Pakistan’s steadfast government and military have long warned of this, and the surge in 2025 attacks proves this point. The Global Terrorism Index ranks Pakistan as the second-most terrorism-affected country, with 1,081 deaths in 2024, a 45% spike, largely attributable to this troika’s machinations.
Delving into history, India’s meddling traces back decades, rooted in its refusal to accept Pakistan’s existence since 1947. From fomenting unrest in East Pakistan leading to 1971’s tragic separation to the current era, India’s playbook remains unchanged. Remember Kulbhushan Jadhav, the RAW operative caught red-handed in Balochistan in 2016, confessing to sabotaging CPEC and funding insurgents? That was merely a glimpse. Post-2019 Pulwama, India escalated its false-flag operations, but Pakistan’s Operation Swift Retort exposed their bluff. By 2025, amid the brief May conflict, India’s so-called Operation Sindoor, a reckless strike on alleged militant camps, BLA and FAK ramped up attacks, killing 22 Pakistani soldiers in South Waziristan. BLA even brazenly offered to serve as India’s “military arm.” This is not coincidence; it is coordination. Pakistan’s intelligence has dossiers galore: captured militants spilling beans on RAW safe houses in Afghanistan, financial trails from Delhi to FAK camps, and training modules blending BLA’s guerrilla tactics with FAK’S suicide bombings. India denies it all, of course, but their denials ring hollow against the backdrop of their own support for anti-Pakistan elements, all while crying foul over Kashmir.
The implications of this troika are catastrophic, not just for Pakistan but for regional stability. CPEC, the lifeline of the economy and a beacon of Sino-Pak friendship, is the prime target. Attacks like February’s Gwadar bombing, killing four Chinese engineers, and June’s train hijacking that claimed 50 security personnel, aim to scare off investors and isolate Pakistan. This proxy war exacerbates internal challenges, but it is India’s design to portray Pakistan as a failed state, deflecting from their own human rights abuses in Kashmir and Manipur. Globally, it undermines counterterrorism efforts; how can the world fight terror when a nuclear power like India sponsors it? The US veto on September 18-19 against blacklisting BLA at the UN, alongside UK and France, reeks of Western hypocrisy, shielding India’s proxies while pressuring Pakistan. This isolation tactic only strengthens Pakistan’s resolve, but it risks broader conflict, potentially drawing in China and Afghanistan.
So, what is the way forward for Pakistan? First, they must amplify their diplomatic offensive. Building on the UN dossiers, engage allies like China and Saudi Arabia, their recent defense pacts are a start, to expose India’s terrorism sponsorship. Trilateral talks with Afghanistan and China must yield verifiable action against FAK/BLA sanctuaries in Kabul; no more empty promises from the Taliban. Domestically, bolster intelligence-sharing and operations like those in Balochistan, where our forces have neutralized key threats. Economic resilience is key: accelerate CPEC Phase II, diversifying routes to thwart sabotage. The international community, including the UN and OIC, must designate India a state sponsor of terror, evidence abounds. Finally, Pakistanis must unite; their narrative is truth, not propaganda. India’s troika may be diabolical, but Pakistan’s spirit is unbreakable. Pakistan will prevail, emerging stronger, while India’s facade crumbles under the weight of its own malice.
