Ehsanullah Ehsan, who was captured last week by the Pakistan military, said in a video confession that Indian intelligence agency RAW and Afghan intelligence agency NDS have provided safe heavens to terrorist organisations in Afghanistan.

Ehsan was spokesman of JuA, a breakaway faction of the Taliban, which is responsible for major terrorist attacks in Pakistan over the past two years. Hundreds of people were killed in Wagah and Gulashan Iqbal Park attacks in Lahore and two major attacks in Quetta in 2016.

Clad in salwar kameez, Ehsan claimed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Mullah Fazlullah — Pakistan’s most wanted man — is being given safe heaven by RAW and NDS.

Military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor in a tweet said that Ehsan exposed hostile foreign agenda and their designs to destabilise Pakistan.

In an interview to Geo TV, to be broadcast on Thursday, Ehsan claimed that JuA chief Khalid Khurasani went to India for treatment from Afghanistan when he got injured in a NATO attack in 2015.
