I met Balram Singh Rai for the last time in London in 1982 at a religious function  and whilst chatting with him I enquired whether it was true that his Justice Party was financed by the CIA . He did not answer and became very cold towards me after. Subsequently some of the declassified documents revealed that the CIA did provide financial support to the Justice Party . The CIA hoped that the Justice Party would have pulled away Hindu support from the PPP in 1964. They also financially  supported GUMP under Hoosein Ghanie  with the hope that Muslim support would  have been pulled away from the PPP. Both efforts failed.

You insulted BS by asking him the question you did. He is right not to respond to you and show you the cold shoulder. He did not get CIA money. If you believe that then tell us how much they gave him and let us see the declassified documents.

I never insulted Rai. He was a public figure at a time when we were experiencing serious political challenges. I simply asked him if it was true about the rumours with reference to the CIA financing of his party.
