Summary The shocking details were revealed by Shuja Khanzada in Punjab Assembly.

LAHORE (Dunya News) - Punjab Home Minister Col. (R) Shuja Khanzada has stated that Indian intelligence agency RAW is involved in 90 percent of terrorism incidents in Pakistan, Dunya News reported on Tuesday.

While addressing the Punjab Assembly, he claimed that the Zimbabwean team manager received an SMS in Dubai ahead of Pakistan-Zimbabwe series in which he was warned of severe consequence if his team visited Pakistan.

Zimbabwe team then informed Pakistan government regarding these messages, the minister added. 

He said the administration launched investigation into the matter and found that the sms was sent from one of the Indian intelligence official in Delhi.

Talking to media outside the assembly, Shuja Khanzada assured of taking possible steps to curb terrorism from the country.

Zimbabwe became the first Test team to tour Pakistan since terrorist attacks on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in March 2009, an incident that had caused suspension of all forms of international cricket in the country. Although the team lost all the matches but players departed for their country with loads of respect showered upon them by the cricket-lovers in Pakistan.
