    When Indira Gandhi took over as Prime Minister of India in the late60s, among her basic priorities was to undo the division of Indiathat created a new State Pakistan, which was highly irritating theIndian leaders since its birth.

    In that particular era, all of Indias intelligence related matters, bothinternal and external, were managed by only one intelligenceagency of the country and that was the Intelligence Bureau (IB).

    The Daily Mails research indicates that when Mrs. Gandhi assumedthe charge of the Prime Ministers Office (PMO) at New Delhi, sheordered the IB to prepare comprehensive plans to destabilizePakistan and to transform it into a failed State and to negate the 2-Nation Theory which was the foundation of the creation of Pakistan.

    The Daily Mails research indicates that in 1968, the then head ofIBs External Division Wing and the founder of Directorate Generalof Security, commonly known as DG(S) in India, was RameshwarNath Kao, a confidante of Indira Gandhi and her late father, as hewas cleared of falling to any honey trap because of being Gay, who

    presented a very comprehensive plan to fulfill Indira Gandhiswishes regarding Pakistan.

    This 240-page plan, which is still known as The Kao Plan in

    Indias clandestine community, had three different operations todestabilize Pakistan.

    The Kao Plan, which is described as a three-pronged strategy by theIndian officials, had three different operations to eliminate Pakistan.The first, known as Kaos Bangla Plan(KBP) was chalked out to startan insurgency movement in East Pakistan and transform theEastern part of Pakistan into a new State. The 2nd plan, known asKaos Balochistan Plan (KBP-II) was architected to create a similarscenario in Pakistans Balochistan province, while the 3rd one was

    related to organizing a separation movement in the then NorthWestern Frontier Province(NWFP) and now Khyber Pakhtun Khowahto establish an independent State there and this one is known asthe Kaos Pakhtoonistan Plan (KPP).

    Indira Gandhi, the research indicates, went through RameshwarNath Kaos plans comprehensively. She held a detailed meeting withKao and discussed his plans ingreatdetail. After the meeting,Prime Minister Indira Gandhi reached to the conclusion that Kao

    plans were quite comprehensive and had all the potential of earningfar reaching results. However, she was concerned with the limitedcapabilities of the countrys top intelligence agency (the IntelligenceBureau). After detailed deliberations with Kao and her other closeassociates, Mrs. Gandhi felt that the IB was not at all capable ofexecuting the Kao plans. According to some Indian media persons,who were close to the developments at the PMO in late 60s, IndiraGandhi finally decided that since IB did not posses enoughcapabilities to run the foreign missions and the related the Kao

    plans, there was an urgent need for India to have a separate, morepowerful and more resourceful intelligence Agency to executeextremely high profile projects like the Kao Plans. According tothese journalists, Indira Gandhi while contemplating formation abrand new intelligence mechanism for execution of Kao plansregarding Pakistan, was also eyeing situation viz a viz China.

    The Daily Mails investigations indicate that after all the discussionsand deliberations, it was decided to start a new Intelligence agencybut to keep its profile as a research body and not as spy agency forthe outside world. This agency was given the title of Research and

    Analysis Wing, commonly know as RAW. RAW was finally formed on21 st September, 1968 under the Cabinet Division and Mr.Rameshwar Nath Kao was declared as its first

    Chief.Even though the Prime minister approved all three of the Kao plansregarding Pakistan, she directed Kao to go step by step instead of

    executing all at once as it would add more creditability to theoperations. She also advised him to start with East Pakistan plan

    6/24

    (KBP) first and to execute the remaining ones in the light of the

    outcome of the first plan. The research reveals that soon after the formation of RAW,

    Rameshwar Nath Kaos first priority was to gather a team of topprofessionals at the higher level of the agency. For this purpose, he

    brought in many like-minded officers from the Intelligence Bureauand from the Indian Police Service (IPS) cadre. According to certainmedia reports, the top wing of RAW in it its early days was

    comprising of all the well trusted guys of Koa, as majority of themwere known gay individuals and were commonly called the Kaoboys

    of RAW, not only within the agency but also in the media acrossIndia and amongst those officials who were not inducted in RAW by

    Kao, despite being highly capable. Such officials were the mainsources of such leaks to the media and also to the young RAW

    officers. These Kaoboys were initially given the task of enhancing thecapabilities of the agency to the maximum for running the covertoperations while a special wing was formed to launch the KBP inEast Pakistan. The details of Kaos Bengla Plan would be discussed

    at another stage though; the research reveals that RAW launchedthe Bengla plan soon after its inception. It is worth mentioning herethat soon after the inception of RAW, Kao also formed a high profileMonitoring Division, comprising of the retired and serving officers

    from the Indian armys corps of Signals.

    The basic features of Kao plan were to launch a PsychologicalWarfare operations in East Pakistan; to communicate with EastPakistani politicians, mainly those belonging to Awami League; toinduct many East Pakistani civil servants working in East and WestPakistan and also in Pakistani embassies across the world; to launchextensive media campaign against Pakistan armys actions in EastPakistan and to project a highly exaggerated picture of plight of thepeople of East Pakistan in the world media and to organize moots

    and conferences across the world to highlight the sham miseries ofthe people of East Pakistan; to establish a sense of deprivationamongst the general public in East Pakistan; to create a feeling ofhatred between the people of East Pakistan and West Pakistanthrough social circles etc.

    RAWs plan was to train the militants of Mukti Bahinis at trainingcamps inside Indian territory in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    8/24

    and to arm them for an ultimate civil war. It was decided to beorganize these militants with the help and assistance of Indianarmy, headed by General Manekshaw and Indian Border SecurityForce(BSF), headed by K.F. Rustomji while the IB was also kept

    engaged for other covert operations. According to a veteranjournalist Qutubuddine Aziz , who was stationed in former EastPakistan during the execution of India Kao plan for creatingBangladesh and the gentlemen who wrote the famous book Blood

    and Tears, Indian trained Mukti Bahini militants massacred at least one million

    non-Bengalis in former East Pakistan. He says "The sheaves of eye-witness accounts prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that themassacre of West Pakistanis, Biharis and other non-Bengalis in EastPakistan had begun long before the Pakistan Army took punitiveaction against the rebels late in the night of March 25, 1971. It is

    also crystal clear that the Awami Leagues terror machine was theinitiator and executor of the genocide against the non-Bengaliswhich exterminated at least a million of them in less than twomonths of horror and trauma. Many witnesses have opined that thefederal Government acted a bit too late against the insurgents. Theinitial success of the federal military action is proved by the fact thatin barely 30 days, the Pakistan Army, with a combat strength of

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    9/24

    38,717 officers and men in East Pakistan, had squelched the AwamiLeagues March-April, 1971, rebellion all over the province. Theywere all trained and armed by Indian army and were given detailsof non-Bengalis by a new spy agency of India, the Research and

    analysis Wing".

    The Daily Mails investigations indicate that before launching the 1stphase of the Kao plan, the RAW leadership decided to dominate theIndian diplomatic Missions across the world to ensure theavailability of strongest possible platforms to run RAW operations,especially the operations relating to the Psychological Warfare.Though the PMO had approved the placement of RAW officials inIndian diplomatic Missions under diplomatic cover, yet RAW decidedto dig out and secure personal or official scandals of the as many as

    possible Indian diplomats across the world after it was found at theagencys Headquarters that in many cases, the diplomatic staff atdifferent stations did not cooperate with RAW undercover officials incommissioning of certain undiplomatic practices in different parts ofthe world. It was this exercise of RAW that helped it immensely inlaunching aggressive media campaigns against Pakistan army and inmobilizing the world opinion in favor of east Pakistanis to have aseparate State and to justify Indias open interference in the EastPakistans affairs, from the platforms of Indian diplomatic Missions

    across the world and it was started with blackmailing the Indianambassador in Burma (Myanmar) in the late 60s while the practiceis still going on very effectively for RAW. In the beginning of thelaunching the Kao plan in East Pakistan, RAW also attempted to usecertain British parliamentarians and journalists for organizing mootsand conferences in favor of separation of East Pakistan from therest of Pakistan.

    After the RAW got immense success in East Pakistan and due to the

    lack of abilities on part of Pakistani leadership to handle the crises inEastern part of the country, a new country was created with nameof Bangladesh in 1971. Just within some 30 months of the inceptionof RAW, Rameshwar Nath Kao sought Prime Minister Indira Gandhispermission to launch KBP-II for the separation of Balochistan fromPakistan.

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    10/24

    The Daily Mails investigations indicate that though Kao and theKaoboys of RAW were feeling over excited with their success inbreaking Pakistan into two and wanted an immediate go-ahead fromthe PMO for the implementation of the 2nd phase of the Kao plan

    (KBP-II), the Indian Prime Minister was being extremely cautious intaking any further step in this direction as she got the informationthat the American CIA and the Chinese intelligence, both weremonitoring the RAW moves very closely and both the Chinese andthe US government had in a way conveyed to the government ofIndia that any repeat of East Pakistan like mischief by India in WestPakistan would not be allowed and tolerated at all.

    These findings further indicate that at that particular stage, Indiangovernment was very eagerly looking forward to the Shah of Iran

    for 2 soft loans amounting to the tune of not less than $ 25 millions.Indira Gandhi also knew that any Indian move in Balochistan, atthat particular stage, could have easily annoyed the Shah of Iran ashe was a very close friend of Pakistan, resulting into the refusal ofthe 25 million dollars loan from Shah. India was already persuadingthe sister of Shah of Iran, Madame Ashraf Pehlawi for pursuingShah to approve loan. According to the records, Shahs sister wasgiven a kickback of $ 6 million for the sanctioning of the loan.

    The Daily Mails investigations indicate that keeping all thesereservations, Indira Gandhi asked the RAW Chief Kao to hold hishorses and shelve the Balochistan plan until the circumstanceschanged and especially until the loan from Iran was transferred into

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    11/24

    Indian governments accounts. These findings further indicate thatthis reply from Prime Minister came as a great disappointment forboth Kao and his Boys at the RAW headquarters. Indira Gandhiallocated huge funds to RAW for its expansion worldwide after

    getting the Iranian loans, yet many officials of RAW still belief that itwas just a bid to appease RAW after ordering it to keep theBalochistan operation on hold while the RAW officials were verymuch excited about launching it as soon as possible, without lettingthe Pakistani counterparts to recover from the shock of KaosBengla plan.

    According to some senior International journalists as well as certainsecurity experts and former intelligence official, RAW and speciallyits Kaoboys were never actually waiting for a formal nod from PMOand they in fact had already started working on Kao Balochistan

    Plan (KBP-II). RAW had already started contacting Baloch leadersthrough social activities in foreign countries and a PSYWAR waslaunched amongst the Baluch people with a crystal clear referenceto what happened in East Pakistan and how India helped EastPakistanis to have a separate and independent country. In themeantime RAW also sought agency-to-agency help from its

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    12/24

    counterparts in former Soviet Union and KGB replied in a positivemanner to help RAW implement its Kao plan for Balochistan.

    Soon after entering into the Balochistan game, Kao and his teamrealized that the things in Balochistan were not as easy as those inEast Pakistan. They discovered that they did nothave the advantage of having a road link in Balochistan as they hadin East Pakistan and secondly the disadvantage was that Pakistaniarmy had total control of Balochistan and avery strong road link to any part of Balochistan, something that itlacked in case of East Pakistan. The only encouraging point for RAWwhile starting the Balochistan game was that here they did not have

    to launch and fund the movement at the grassroots level like incase of the East Pakistan.In fact in Balochistan, they just needed to lure a handful of Balochtribal leaders, specially young ones who were very much attractedtowards fun life of West, and rest was to be done by these triballeaders. After making this assessment, RAW decided to go-aheadwith the KPB-II. However it got a shock from KGB when KGBexpressed its inability to provide any strategic or tactical help forBalochistan plan due to KGBs lack of resources to carry out anydeep sea covert operation in the hot waters of Indian Ocean and theArabian sea however it promised every help and support for thecause in any other shape, at a later stage. Some experts say thatKGBs abrupt nod for joining RAW in Balochistan game could also beseen in the backdrop of cold war era rivalry between CIA and KGBas KGB was constantly looking to hit CIA hard anywhere in theworld at first available opportunity during that era and since KGB

    13/24

    knew that CIA would feel deeply hurt by its joint operation withRAW in Balochistan and so it offered all its help and support, evenwithout approval from the higher level of the Soviet government.The irony of this situation is that today CIA itself is fully embedded

    with RAW in the Balochistan game.

    The Daily Mails findings indicate that the top boy amongst Kaoslike-minded Kaoboys was an IPS officer B. Raman and wasknown asKaos Special Boy.

    14/24

    Raman served in RAW and earlier in the IB for about 27 years andretired from RAW in August 1994. When RAW was making anassessment to enter into Balochistan game, the agencys headRameshwar Nath Kao decided to explore a new avenue to begin thegame, without waiting for PMOs word in this direction. After the

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    15/24

    careful assessment of all the options, Kao decided to approach theFrench Intelligence agency, formerly known as SDECE and thesedays know as DGSE. In French language SDECE means Service forExternal Documentation and Counter-Espionage while DGSE stands

    for Directorate general of External Security.

    Research indicates that the then SDECE was headed by Le ComteAlexandre de Marenches, an ex army officer of France. Asmentioned earlier how RAW manipulates Indian diplomats acrossthe world, RAW opted in this case to use the services of the then

    Ambassador of India to France who himself was an ex-army officerof India and was married to a French speaking lady from Luxemburgthat had enabled him to become a close friend of the then FrenchInterior Minister Michel Poniatowski. Kao used the Indianambassador to have a meeting of top RAW officials with their French

    counterparts through Michel.

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    16/24

    The ambassador obliged the RAW chief and a meeting wasarranged between French and Indian spy masters at Paris. Duringthe meeting, the RAW side, headed by Kao, proposed for a liaisonbetween French and Indian intelligence agencies for the collection

    and sharing of intelligence with regards to the movement of US andSoviet as well as the Chinese Navies in the waters of Indian Oceanand Arabian Sea. An agreement in this regard was finalized rightaway and France agreed to establish a liaison office at Paris in thisregard and showed its complete willingness to the project, withoutknowing that RAW had some Balochistan related motives behindthis move as it had no interest at all in the movement of the Navalfleets of Soviets or Americans or even the Chinese.

    The research indicates that RAW wanted to use the project for

    transporting arms and heavy weapons to Balochistan through thisproject as it had already been able to lure certain Baloch leaders tolaunch an insurgency movement. The French and Indian intelligenceagencies agreed to establish at least four Technical Intelligence(TECHINT) stations in Indias spotted water regions in Indian Oceanand Arabian Sea. Though the Indians claim that the project wassoon abandoned, yet it remains a fact that these stations still existand are operational under Indian control. However France pulled outof the project after some time. Some intelligence experts believe

    that France developed some serious doubts about RAWs movementunder the garb of the said Technical Intelligence Stations after theFrench intelligence managed to retrieve volumes and volumes ofhighly classified documents relating to the covert operations of RAWfrom the Indian Prime Ministers Office. There are some stories inthis direction out which one says that it was the job of some Frenchunder cover secret agents who developed some special relationsunder the disguise of gays with RAWs liaison officer in France forthe said project B. Raman and they managed to get some way toaccess to the classified document in Indira Gandhis office.

    17/24

    Research indicates that after French and Indian intelligenceagencies agreed upon establishing a liaison office in Paris, B Ramanmaneuvered a lot to motivate the RAW Chief Kao to post him toParis as the liaison officer as at that time, France was known as theParadise for the gays. Kao who did not want to send Raman out ofsight for a longer period due to his special feelings for Raman,finally agreed upon sending Raman to France on deputation. In thisdirection first RAW tried to send him Raman to France in thedisguise of media representative from India, a practice that RAW isstill exercising across the world with a great success, and allarrangements were made with the collaboration of an Indian

    newspaper The Hindu, yet at the eleventh hour the plan waschanged and Raman was sent to Paris under the diplomatic cover,the other major practice of RAW that is still very much in vogue.

    18/24

    In Paris, Ramans duties to the knowledge of the French intelligencewere to perform the duty of liaison officer for the TECHINT projectwhile the host government knew him as diplomat ofthe Indian embassy. However, RAW had assigned him some otherresponsibilities. He was sent to Paris to communicate with Balochtribal youngsters living and studying in England and France and tolure them to join the Kao plan for Balochistan. In the process,Raman met with a young Iranian gay in Paris. In one of his latestbooks, Raman admits that he met the Iranian boy in Paris and he

    lured him and developed special relations with him. Raman writes,one night his Iranian friend, suddenly developed some seriousmedical problems and he, despite being an Indian diplomat, rushedthe Iranian boy to the hospital in the emergency and got himtreated there and also paid all the bills at the Paris hospital. ThoughRaman refrains from explaining his relations with the Iranian gayguy in details, he however writes that the same Iranian guy, provedvery helpful to him for his covert operations during his stay in Paris.According to certain media and intelligence reports, during his stayin Paris, Raman used the Iranian boy to the maximum to establishspecial ties with certain Balochistani youngsters, mostly the sons ofBaloch tribal leaders and he remained successful in luring them toget embedded with RAW for the successful implementation of theKao Plan for Balochistan.

    Back home in New Delhi, when RAW had finalized the aggressive

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    19/24

    implementation of the Kao plan in Baluchistan, Prime Minister IndiraGnadhi got into some internal political turmoil and she finallydeclared the state of emergency in the country, a move thatprevented RAW from pursuing the Kao plan at that very moment.

    Research indicates that during the state of emergency, IndiraGandhi misused RAW to the maximum to fix her political opponents.However, she finally went to the polls and met with the defeat inthe General Elections. This resulted into the bringing of Moraji Desaias the new Prime minister of India. Desai did not have any respectfor RAW as he knew that Indira Gandhi had used RAW against himas well. However he did not touch the affairs of RAW much. In themeantime, when RAW moved the file of Kao Plan for Balochistan, hegot furious and asked RAW to focus on countrys security instead of

    remaining busy in hatching conspiracies against other countries. Hehowever kept the Kao plan file in his office. Some close associatesof Desai attribute this development to Desais hateful feelingstowards RAW and he thought that Kao plan was a baby of his firstdegree opponent and thus he should stay away from it. Someothers think that Desai snubbed RAW over the Kao plan owing to hispeace initiatives with Pakistan and because of his very cordialrelations with then military ruler of Pakistan, late General Zia-ul-Haque. It is said that during his visits to England and France, Desai

    asked the RAW officers posted in those countries to give him detailsof their responsibilities in those countries in writing. Both theofficers refused to give any explanation to Desai in black and white.

    RAW did not succeed in getting a formal green light for the Kao planfor Balochistan during Desais era and the agency decided to followa wait and see policy. In the process, new elections were held inIndia and as result of these polls. Indira Gandhi again came intopower as the Prime Minister of India. Once again, at a suitable

    stage, RAW moved the Kao plan file to the PMO. People associatedto the Indian Prime Ministers office say that upon receiving the file,Mrs. Gandhi summoned the RAW Chief and directed him that theagency should first address the new menace that had hit thecountry. This was the growing Sikh separatist movement in IndianPunjab. Indira Gandhi asked RAW to deal with the issue as toppriority for the agency and to use all of its resources for this

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    20/24

    purpose.RAW got busy with the new top priority assignment and the Kaooperation on Balochistanwas again put on the back burner. However, the reports suggest

    that RAW continued its unauthorized interference in Balochistan andkept the Kao plan alive. In the mean time it managed to shiftmaximum weaponry into Balochistan through the French-blessedTECHINT sea stations. It also got the immense support from KGBand its extension in Afghanistan after the former USSR invadedAfghanistan. The reports suggest that KGB played a major role intraining of the Baloch militants, given to RAW by certain Balochtribal leaders, to use the arms and weapons shipped by RAWthrough sea routes to Balochistan over the years.

    The reports also indicate that it was not possible for RAW tosuccessfully form the militant outfits in Balochistan without thestrong help and assistance of KGB as both RAW and KGB managedto install militant forces like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA)and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) etc. There werecomprehensive training facilities for these militants by KGB inadjoining Afghanistan and loads of money for their mentors byRAW.

    Back in India, RAW remained busy in tackling the Sikh movement.The details of the Sikhs movement in India would be discussed at alater stage but it is worth mentioning that RAWs inability to handlethe genuine movements like the Khalistan movement by IndianSikhs was exposed to everyone across the world and particularlyamongst the global clandestine community. RAW made manyblunders in implicating Pakistan and its top security agency, InterServices Intelligence (ISI) into the Khalistan movement. It remainsa fact that the ISI did get some security benefits out of the

    Khalistan movement but the volume of the ISI role in themovement, portrayed by RAW was no where near the groundrealities.

    Just one incident out of dozens, is enough to prove furious RAW gotto implicate ISI and Pakistan into the Khalistan freedom movementand how RAW was unable to create even fake cases against ISI to

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    21/24

    convince the global community. In one incident, some allegedmembers of the Sikh freedom movement, hijacked an Indianpassenger aircraft and took to Lahore. Pakistan refused to hold talkswith the hijackers and the plane was then taken to the UAE. From

    UAE, somehow RAW managed to take the custody of the hijackersand took them to India. After a few days, Indian government cameout with the claims that hijackers had confessed that they hijackedthe said aircraft from India with a toy pistol but later, during theirbrief stay at Lahore airport, some ISI officers gave them the realpistol which was retrieved from the UAE authorities later and aftercontacting a French arms company in the backdrop of the make andserial number of the said pistol, it was revealed that the said pistolwas officially imported by Pakistan army and the episode provesthat ISI was behind the hijacking and the entire movement of

    Khalistan. This outrageous episode earned India merely a big, loudlaughter across the world and very badly damaged the credibility ofRAW and Indian governments allegations against Pakistan which isstill haunting New Delhi as well as RAW.

    The research reveals that after RAW completely failed in counteringthe Khalistan movement, it finally advised Prime Minister IndiraGandhi to go all out for a comprehensive military operations againstthe Sikhs and presented a high profile report that the only way out

    to tackle the Khalistan movement was to storm the most prestigiousand religiously recognizedSikh Temple, the Golden Tample in Indian Punjab as all the top Sikhseparatists were hiding and operating from there. This promptedIndira Gandhi to order the most infamous military operation byIndian army, code-named Operation Blue Star in which thousandsof innocent Sikhs were butchered by Indian army troops.

    Just when Indira Gandhi was about to order full-fledged launching of

    the Kao plan for Balochistan to divert the national and internationalcriticism from operation Blue Star, she was assassinated by somereligiously motivated Sikh Guards of her own security detail.

    Indira Gandhis assassination brought in her elder son Rajiv Gandhito the scene and he took over as Indian Prime Minister. Rajiv alwayshad serious doubts that her mother lost her life due to completely

  • 7/31/2019 Zaid Hamid : INDIAN RAW's "KAO PLAN" UNLEASHED IN BALOCHISTAN !

    22/24

    misleading reports and advices of RAW and thus had special angerand hatred for RAW and its top policy makers.

    In the process, when his attention was drawn towards the Kao plan

    for Balochistan, he really lashed out at top RAW officials andsnubbed them for misguiding his mother and thus getting her killed.Poor Rajiv, who remained away from countrys political andintelligence affairs as Indira was training her younger son SanjayGandhi to replace her in politics but he was unfortunately killed inan air crash, forgot that by then RAW had already become anuncontrollable monster and had emerged as a government withinthe government.

    Rajiv decided to revamp RAW and curtail its powers and funds to a

    considerable volume and to make its every action known to thegovernment and to make the agency accountable to thegovernment. In the process, he kept changing the heads of RAWand kicked out many of agency official and ordered drastic reformsin RAW. The RAW moles at the PMO, informed RAW as to what wascooking for them in the minds of Rajiv Gandhi. It is said that it wasthis decision of Rajiv Gandhi that cost him his life and RAW finallymanaged to get rid of him through a suicide attack by a Tamilwoman as RAW was drastically training Tamil people for suicide

    bombing and other militancy tactics for fighting in Sri Lanka in theranks of LTTE.

    Research indicates that two things happened after Rajivsassassination; Firstly, no Indian PM ever dared to introduce any sortof reforms in RAW and secondly, no one from RAW ever moved theKao plan file to any successive Prime Minister, though it continuedwith keeping the Kao plan alive in Balochistan.

    The research indicates that it was only after the 9/11 tragedy thatRAW started getting very positive response from Americas CIA tomake life miserable for Pakistan and its ISI. The research showsclearly that as the CIA and RAW ties started deepening owing tocommon interest of both the agencies, things in Balochistan startedgetting worst, day by day. The RAW-CIA honeymoon prompted RAWonce again to get a formal approval of launching the Kao plan in

    23/24

    Balochistan after the Congress government came into power in2004. This time, the case was not discussed by RAW Chief with thePrime Minister but it was found more appropriate to get a final nodfrom the party chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Given the circumstance

    and assurances from CIA, RAW succeeded in getting Sonia nod forthe Kao plan in 2004-2005 as it was found out to be the best timeto launch the Kao plan as Pakistan was already surrounded withmultiple dangers and conspiracies and for the first time it did nothave a friendly government in adjoining Afghanistan. Sonia gavethe final approval for formal launching of the Kao plan inBalochistan.

    The Kao plan was initiated in Balochistan formally in 2004-2005 andwithin one year of its formal launching things got drastically difficult

    across the province.

    The Kao plan made veteran Baloch leader Akbar Bugti and his likeminded tribal leaders of the province defiant towards the federalgovernment and they started initiating an insurgency movement inthe province and even brought a name for the new Independentcountry as Islamic Emirates of Balochistan.

    Kao plan for Balochistan had just a few amendments if compared

    with the Kao plan for East Pakistan. The basics remained the same.What was that?
