NEW DELHI: The busting of the Faridabad module and the ricin terror plot show how deep Pakistan has managed to infiltrate into the country.
The Faridabad module that executed the Delhi Red Fort blast had managed to stock up close to 3, 000 kilograms of ammonium, thus indicating the scale at which the attacks were planned.
Down south, another deadly terror plot was in the making. The Gujarat Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested Hyderabad resident, Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed (35), on charges of plotting a ricin terror strike.
While the Faridabad module is linked to the Jaish-e-Mohammad, the ricin plot is part of a plan plotted by the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP).
Both these terror groups act on the instructions of the ISI. Intelligence Bureau officials said that if one analyses both the cases, it is clear that the ISI wanted to wreak havoc not just in North India, but down South as well.
Officials said that Pakistan's game plan is to exploit the fault lines.
In North India, it seeks to play the Muslim atrocity card, and in South India, the language card.
The ISKP had planned to carry out a ricin terror attack with the intention of separating South from North.
Several parties in South India have tried to exploit the language card and have very often, without proof, claimed that the BJP is trying to impose Hindi in the southern states.
