New Delhi: Pakistani journalist Nusrat Mirza, who came to India during the UPA regime, has made a sensational claim. In an interview given to a YouTuber Shakeel Choudhary, he visited India several times between 2005 and 2011 and collected information and passed it on to the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI.
Hamid Ansari had given the invitation
Mirza mentioned the 2010 tour. He said that he had arrived in India to attend a seminar on terrorism. He was invited by the then Vice President Hamid Ansari. He said that the last time he visited India was in 2011 and then met Zafarul Islam Khan, the publisher of Milli Gazette. He claimed that he collected a lot of information during his visit to India and later gave it to the ISI.
Mirza also said that he was also given various facilities from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry. Normally a Pakistani can go to three cities in India but when he applied for visa, he was allowed to visit five cities. He said that at that time Pakistan’s foreign minister used to be Khurshid Kasuri.
