In a conversation with Col. Anil Bhat, leading researcher analyst on the AfPak region (Afghanistan-Pakistan) Aparna Rawal discusses the origination/establishment and current cultivation of various terrorist outfits by the government of Pakistan - a policy, which aligns with its anti-India line. While nearly every claim by Delhi is vehemently refuted by Islamabad, the presence and operation of such outfits prove the state support that they get.

She is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Society for Policy Studies, New Delhi, and Editor-in-Chief of The Strategic Perspective, having previously led Voice of Baloch as Editor-in-Chief.
