Summary Intelligence sources said India’s High Commission in London coordinated with a banned action committee and a UK-based rights group to promote an anti-Pakistan narrative.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Intelligence sources have said that India’s High Commission in London and a banned action committee coordinated activities to promote an anti-Pakistan narrative under the guise of human rights.
According to the sources, the Indian High Commission in London contacted the banned action committee in April 2026 as part of an alleged coordinated plan. In June, Indian High Commission official Pramod Khemchandani reportedly met Zaka Jacob of Indian broadcaster Times Now in London.
The sources claimed that the meeting discussed launching an operation through a new organisation to promote unrest in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and publicise the narrative of the banned Joint Action Committee.
On June 24, 2026, the Indian High Commission allegedly prepared individuals identified as Azhar Ahmed, Yasir Shafaat and Dr Ishtiaq Khaliq to foment unrest in Azad Kashmir, the sources claimed.
Zaka Jacob was reportedly assigned the task of promoting the alleged anti-Pakistan narrative through extensive media coverage.
The sources further alleged that the Indian High Commission made 17 WhatsApp calls to the three individuals during June as part of the alleged operation.
On July 30, 2026, the Jammu Kashmir Human Rights Observatory (JKHRO) was registered in the United Kingdom, according to the account provided by the sources.
The sources also claimed that the banned action committee published several social media posts in June depicting conditions in Rawalakot and other parts of Azad Kashmir in a misleading manner while calling on the international community to take immediate action.
They alleged that JKHRO subsequently issued reports echoing the committee’s narrative and that media outlets, including The Independent, Times Now and Kashmir Times, further circulated its claims through their reporting.
The sources questioned the organisation’s credibility, describing it as newly established, and alleged that its registration documents named Pramod Khemchandani, an official associated with the Indian High Commission.
They said the alleged connection between the official and the organisation raised questions about the group’s formation and its activities.
