Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is establishing itself in Nepal and is plotting to launch attacks on Indian soil, an intelligence report has said. 

According to the report, Pakistan embassy in Kathmandu is not only actively involved in recruitment for LeT's Nepal module but said to have provided funds for planning attacks on India.

The report also reveals that ISI has opened an NGO which is a front for the terror group and is being run by a LeT operative. Recently, two ISI operative working in Pakistan embassy in Kathmandu visited Biratnagar of Morang district in Nepal.

ISI and LeT are looking to exploit the porous India-Nepal border. India has an open border with Nepal and the porous nature of the border has been a cause of concern for national security.

The border guarding forces of both countries have a mechanism of sharing intelligence to check trans border crimes along the 1,751 km porous frontiers. Recently, Indian agencies shared their concern over Pakistan using its High Commission in anti-state subversive activities in Bangladesh and anti-India activities.

India, Bangladesh on ISI's target list 

The input indicated that Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka was orchestrating terror attacks in Bangladesh and West Bengal.

Pakistan's ISI, under diplomatic cover, was secretly meeting terror groups in Bangladesh and asking them to carry out terror attacks in Bangladesh and India, it said. 

"One diplomat of Pakistan High Commission posted in Dhaka held a secret meeting recently with a Bangladeshi terror group and promised to arrange arm training for a batch of 100 newly recruited terrorists for suicidal attacks. Input suggest that some of them would be sent to West Bengal for terror attacks after completing training." an intelligence official told Zee News.

Recently, the Sheikh Hasina Government refused to accept the new Pakistan envoy, alleging that Islamabad was using diplomacy as a cover for ISI activities. 

Bangladesh Government believes that the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka has emerged as a centre of anti-government activities as well as activities against India too.

“This is of serious concern to India as well as Bangladesh, We are aware of how Pakistan is using their Diplomats to destabilise India. Most of the diplomats are undercover agents of ISI. There are reports that Pakistan High Commissions in Dhaka is also involved in distributing Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN)," said an official working with a security agency.

Another Intelligence report sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs last month had revealed that Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) had held a secret meeting to discuss attacks during the Bangladesh general elections. During the meeting, the terror outfit discussed plans to buy weapons and suicidal vests with the help of other terrorist groups in Bangladesh.

It was decided during the meeting of the JMB to recruit 300 more new cadres before the general election in Bangladesh. The group is also trying to conduct two-week training in Chittagong district with a plan to establish 50 new training centres in various districts of Bangladesh with the help of Lashker terrorists of Pakistani origin.

Bangladesh is slated to hold the country's 11th national election in the third week of December this year as the term of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ruling Awami League (AL) party comes to an end in January 2019.
