Leading US think tank says ISI behind Kashmir unrest

US & Pakistan FlagWashington, Aug. 16 :Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is behind the unrest in Kashmir.

In an interview to ANI TV, Frederic Grare said that there seemed to be some truth to the Indian Government’s view that the ISI is fermenting trouble in Kashmir.

“It (New Delhi’s view) is not suggested, it is clearly said that the ISI is fermenting trouble in Kashmir. They have been fermenting trouble in Kashmir for years. Again you have a situation where part of it is outside, particularly from Pakistan, and the other side has been doing so for decades, not just the past few weeks,” Grare said.
