No Proof of India Interfering in Pakistan: Holbrooke ISLAMABAD: Pakistan should not worry about India’s presence in Afghanistan as there is no evidence to suggest that New Delhi is backing the extremists, US Special Envoy for the region Richard Holbrooke has said.

“Pakistan does not have to worry about India in Afghanistan. They need to worry about the miscreants in western Pakistan,” Holbrooke said in a television interview at the US State Department in Washington.

“Now if the Indians were supporting those miscreants, that would be extraordinarily bad (and) really dangerous. But they’re not. There is no evidence at all that the Indians are supporting the miscreants in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas or North West Frontier Province or Waziristan. None,” he said.

Holbrooke was responding to a question on Pakistan’s concerns about India’s presence in Afghanistan.
