Pakistan intelligence agency and army continue to consider India as "archenemy" and could be planning to use the Afghan Taliban against Indian interests in Afghanistan in the future, a leading newspaper said on Thursday.



Referring to the chief of Pakistan army, Gen Asfaq Parvez Kayani and the Inter-Service Intelligence chief Lt General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the New York Times wrote that the duo still consider India as their "archenemy".



"The two generals have not moved Pakistan from its traditional strategic priorities, retaining India as the archenemy and keeping the Afghan Taliban as proxies against Indian interests in Afghanistan," it said.



The report said both Pasha and Kayani had followed the "schizophrenic" policies of former President Pervez Musharraf.



"They keep the Afghan Taliban in their pocket as an anti-India instrument and still ask for American military equipment."



The Times report comes nearly two weeks after a terrorist attack on Indian interests in Kabul. The Afghan government has blamed Pakistan-based LeT for carrying out the attacks which killed 17 people including 7 Indians.



Washington has applauded Pakistan's recent offensives against Taliban in the country and US officials has expressed hope that Islamabad would turn against Taliban in Afghanistan.



Referring to various reports, the Times highlighted deep rooted links between Taliban and ISI since the spy agency set insurgents, also trained by the United States to fight the Soviet Union when it invaded Afghanistan.
