According to Pakistani defence experts talking to The Express Tribune, the presence of Indian ISIS recruits in Afghanistan and the timing of the attack hints at that the Indian agencies may be conspiring with Ashraf Ghani’s government to sabotage the US-Taliban deal.
Maj Gen (retd) Inamul Haque said the genesis of ISIS in Afghanistan a ‘mystery’. “It is very hard to figure out their motive and endgame is,” he explained. “It is uncertain who the real mastermind behind the group is. It almost seems as if the terror organization was implanted into Afghanistan.”

According to Haque – “The ISIS first emerged in Afghanistan in 2014. At the time the US rejected it as a breakaway group of the Pakistani Taliban due to the group’s inadequate operational capability.” “Then there were the Orbaki militias, which were CIA-raised groups that operate outside the authority of the Afghan government.”
“Islamic State in Khorasan (ISIK), which took responsibility for the Kabul gurdwara attack, is now considered to have a 3,000-strong force mainly in Eastern Afghanistan. Its militia is believed to comprise both locals Afghan and foreigner fighters,” he added.

India, meanwhile, has always been sceptical of Sikhs travelling to Pakistan and wanted to sabotage that relationship.
