Pakistan Foils Indian Espionage Attempt Using Fisherman
Pakistan disclosed that India’s intelligence agency attempted to recruit Pakistani fisherman Ijaz Mallah for espionage by bribing him with Rs95,000. The attempt, part of India's ongoing psychological and propaganda campaign against Pakistan, was foiled by Pakistan’s security agencies. Evidence including financial transactions, communication links, and fake documents was recovered, reaffirming India's repeated failed covert operations.
Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry and Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar revealed at a joint press conference that India’s intelligence agencies tried to recruit Pakistani fisherman Ijaz Mallah by offering Rs95,000 and coercing him into anti-Pakistan propaganda. Mallah had been apprehended by the Indian Coast Guard and was allegedly bribed and manipulated as part of India’s continuous psychological and informational warfare against Pakistan. Pakistani investigators uncovered proof of money transfers, communications with Indian handlers, fake media identities, uniforms, and documents used to disguise the operation. The ministers likened this failed espionage attempt to prior incidents such as Operation Sandoor and cases like Kulbhushan Jadhav, calling them repeated humiliations for India. Pakistan’s security forces remain vigilant and have successfully exposed these plots, urging the international community and independent media to scrutinize the evidence. The incident is framed as a desperate Indian effort to create false narratives ahead of domestic elections and rising tensions, while Pakistan emphasizes respect for sovereignty and expectation of reciprocal behavior from other nations.
