I was in Tehran, Iran n Hameed Ansari was ambassador in Tehran. Ansari had played a crucial role in exposing RAW set-up in Tehran endangering lives of RAW unit members. But this very man was made vice President for two consecutive terms. — NK Sood (@rawnksood) June 28, 2019

According to The Sunday Guardian Report , Ex-R&AW officers want PM to act against Hamid Ansari’s ‘anti-national’ acts for “damaging R&AW operations” while he was posted as Ambassador in Tehran, Iran in 1990-92.

Ex-R&AW officers accused that Hamid Ansari not only failed to protect India’s national interest, but cooperated with the Iranian government and its intelligence agency SAVAK to cause serious dent to R&AW and its operations. According to them, there were four major incidents when Indian Embassy officials, diplomats were kidnapped by SAVAK and Ansari deliberately failed in his duties to protect India’s interest.

One of the officers, N.K. Sood, who retired from the agency in 2010, told The Sunday Guardian that Ansari even went to the extent of recommending the closing down of R&AW stations in Iran.

During The Ansari’s tenure in IRAN, R&AW faced the most glaring humiliation that R&AW station chief P.K Venugopal was beaten by SAVAK but Hamid Ansari never lodged a complaint with the Iranian authorities and later Ansari dismissed that R&AW station chief and sent him back to India.

R&AW officers also claimed that Hamid Ansari did regular and long meetings with Pakistan Ambassador in Tehran, which were not reported to the MEA.

R&AW officers also claimed that when Ansari was transferred from Iran in mid-1993, there were celebrations in the Indian Embassy.

The RAW officers are hoping for a thorough inquiry into the matter by Prime Minister Modi. “Ansari also brought other Indian Ambassadors in Dubai, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia to target R&AW units in their respective missions. At the time of the Bombay blasts, the R&AW’s capabilities vis-a-vis Gulf countries were in total disarray,” the letter reads.
