The CIA Confirmed RAW Saved Musharraf — India's Most Ironic Operation

 

Year: 2004

Here's an operation so strange it sounds fictional.

In 2004, it came to light that a timely tip-off by RAW helped foil a third assassination plot against Pakistan's former president, General Pervez Musharraf. Wikipedia

The same Musharraf who ran the Kargil War against India. The same Musharraf whose phone RAW had tapped. RAW saved his life — because a destabilized, assassination-ridden Pakistan with a power vacuum was actually more dangerous for India than a Pakistan with a known, predictable enemy at the top.

This is the kind of cold, calculated strategic intelligence thinking that separated RAW from simple revenge agencies.
