Below is the quote from Sameer Patil;
“If you look at the history of Jaish-e-Mohammed, there is evidence they have been propped up by the Pakistani army,” says Sameer Patil, a fellow with Mumbai-based think tank Gateway House. “We have seen multiple reports that they have had training camps conducted by the Pakistani military. The indirect link is always there.”
Sameer Patil says he has encountered ideas of two lines of approach: the first, for India to pursue dialogue irrespective of terrorist activity and work to engage with all sections of Pakistan, from civil society to the military; and secondly, to consider other options such as supporting covert operations in Pakistan such as the separatist movement in Baluchistan province.
“The Pakistani army’s very existence is based on anti-India feeling. If peace is made, their very reason for their existence will vanish,” says Patil.
