Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is actively engaged in reviving militancy in Punjab by
providing arms and money to extremists, a top police officer said today.
"The ISI has been providing arms and ammunition besides giving money and drugs to militants to revive militancy in the state," director general of Punjab police Paramdeep Singh Gill told reporters here.
However, "we are self-equipped to defeat the malicious designs of ISI to spread unrest in the border state," Gill said.
Punjab police will soon deploy five companies of Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) on the lines of NSG commandos to tackle any disturbance in the state, he said.
"Though the ISI wanted to infiltrate some terrorists through international border for creating turbulence in the state, the Punjab police will not allow them to succeed in their nasty designs," the officer said.
