New Delhi, Oct. 27 :     Arunachal Pradesh Governor Arvind Dave, who headed the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) during the Kargil war flashpoint, has appeared before the Subrahmaniam ?review? committee after the panel insisted on his depo-sition. Dave, who was appointed Governor soon after his extended tenure as the head of the country?s external intelligence agency ended in July when the Kargil war was still raging, made his submission before the three-member committee late last month. Besides defence analyst K. Subrahmaniam, the other two members on the committee are Lt. Gen. (retd.) K.K. Hazari and journalist B.G. Verghese. Joint Intelligence Committee chairman Satish Chandra is member-secretary to the committee, which is reviewing the events leading to the Pakistani aggression in Kargil. Dave did not make his submissions alone. The committee members had insisted that present RAW chief A.S. Dulat and senior operatives handling the operations and analysis desks on Pakistan also be present at the session. The officials ? one of them was recently taken off Pakistan-related operations ? apprised the committee of the agency?s intelligence gathering machinery in Kargil. They were asked why RAW could not gather ?hard? intelligence on Pakistan?s plans to invade Kargil which, according to an intelligence document, had been worked out in detail in Islamabad by November-December last year. The panel also wanted to know the reasons behind the failure of field-level operatives to gather advance information, although there were several strong indications across the Line of Control (LoC), specially in Skardu in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK). The committee members quizzed the officials on why the Aviation Research Centre (ARC), which works under the administrative control of the Cabinet Secretariat but functions operationally under the RAW, failed to notice anything unusual in the heights of Kargil, though electronic surveillance aircraft are supposed to conduct regular reconnaissance along and, at times, beyond the LoC. The committee also tried to seek information on the relationship between the agency and the military intelligence and how intelligence is shared between the two organisations. The Army, especially the Directorate General of Military Intelligence, had alleged soon after the Pakistani intrusion was detected in May, that RAW never co-operated with it on matters of mutual interest. Dulat was asked what measures the agency felt could be taken to prevent Kargil-like situations in the future. These questions were also directed to Dave. According to officials, Dave ?redirected? the questions to his former subor- dinates. Soon after Dave was named Governor, the Opposition had raised questions about its propriety when the performance of the premier intelligence agency in the run-up to the Kargil war was under a cloud.
