Islamabad, July 23 - India and Pakistan need to put curbs on their intelligence agencies in order to end interference in each's other internal affairs, a leading Pakistani newspaper said Thursday.

In an editorial on the Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing's (RAW) alleged involvement in insurgent activities in Balochistan, the Dawn said: 'Stopping the meddling is more important than the manner in which it is brought to an end. It is the final result that counts.'

'If the(re) are rogue elements within RAW who are acting independently, they must be taken to task forthwith. Pakistan also needs to put its own intelligence agencies under the microscope and determine whether a similar cull is needed here,' it said.

Referring to a dossier that Pakistan has reportedly handed over to India, Dawn said it had been alleged that New Delhi was using its growing influence in Kabul to channel weapons and funds to separatists in Balochistan besides funding a training camp in Kandahar in Afghanistan for the likes of the Baloch Republican Army.

RAW 'also stands accused of masterminding other terrorist acts in Pakistan, including deadly assaults on the Sri Lankan cricket team and a police academy in Lahore'.

Dawn noted that New Delhi had 'insisted, and not without reason, that it be provided with concrete evidence of Indian involvement.
