CIA mole in Indira Gandhi's Cabinet
Upvote:1
The averted 1971 confrontation between India and Pakistan was a cold war near miss. Like the Cuban missile crisis. India was backed by the USSR, Pakistan was backed by China. India was preparing to invade Pakistan with Soviet backing, and the US was afraid China would get involved to support their ally Pakistan. The entire mess was occurring months ahead of Nixon's trip to China, which would cement the opening of China and become a cornerstone of US foreign policy for the next five decades.
In truth it was Nixon's signature foreign policy move.
In 1983, Seymour Hersh (Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who broke the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, and Abu Grab abuses in Iraq war) alleged in his book, "Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House," that Former PM Morarji Desai was the “most important” informer of the CIA, who was paid $20,000 annually by the agency to pass on information during the Indo-Pak war of 1971.
--- 1989 Desai filed a case in a US court to dispute this.
Former Sec State Kissinger testified in Court that Morarji Desai was not a U.S. Source.
That suit was dismissed on legal technicalities in 1989.
In 2005, with documents relating to these issues in front of the CIA, the State Department confirmed the existence of a highly placed CIA mole operating out of the Indira Gandhi's cabinet. These records are enough proof to reveal the extent of the damage that was caused to India's national interests by the CIA mole. From "3 D Deceit, Duplicity & Dissimulation of U.S. Foreign Policy Towards India"
(Dec 25, 2011) The latest on this case came from declassified MEA Files. The Indian establishment had prior information that US journalist Seymour Hersh, contacted some Indian officials before making such serious charges in his book. Contrary to their claim at the time.
