A third-year student at Bahawalpur's Government Sadiq Egerton College on March 20 stabbed a professor to death over what he vaguely described as the academic's "anti-Islam" remarks, reports Dawn. Associate professor Khalid Hameed, the head of the English department, was seated inside his office at the college when he was allegedly accosted and attacked with a knife by the student. According to initial information noted by Police at the scene of the crime, Khateeb Hussain, a 5th-semester Bachelor of Arts (BA) student enrolled in the English department, had exchanged hot words with Prof Hameed at around 8:40am over the arranging of a 'welcome party' at the college. The event, which Hameed was overseeing, was to be held on March 21 to welcome new students to the college. Hussain was averse to the event being organised because he viewed the mingling of male and female pupils at the function as "un-Islamic". Following an argument, Hussain stabbed the professor in the abdomen and head. Hameed was taken to the Bahawalpur Victoria Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. In the video, seen by Dawn, the suspect identifies himself as Khateeb Hussain and says that he attacked the English professor because he allegedly "spoke against Islam". In response to a question, he says he assaulted the teacher with a knife in the office where he was sitting. Both of the suspect's hands are bandaged, indicating he received knife injuries during the scuffle. When informed that the professor had died at the hospital, the suspect expresses satisfaction with his actions. He is then questioned on why he did not use a lawful way of voicing his complaints against the academic, to which he responds that the country's laws are "freeing the blasphemers (gustaakhon) ". When asked if he regrets his actions, he expresses no remorse.

Pro-Khalistan group 'Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) has claimed that Pakistan Government has banned the registration of the 'Khalistan Referendum Team 2020' on its soil at the behest of the Indian Government, reports Economic Times on April 15.

The Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Usman Buzdar on May 25 appealed to clerics belonging to various schools of thought to provide all-out support to making the anti-polio campaign successful, reports Dawn. The clerics, who called on the CM at his office, announced their complete cooperation for the anti-polio campaign and resolved to work effectively to eliminate polio. The CM said the presence of polio in Pakistan was a matter of concern and that the whole world had become polio-free, but the disease still existed in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Stressing the role of clerics in the anti-polio campaign, he said they had always played an effective role in the protection of social and moral values. Now, he said, children needed the clerics to make the anti-polio campaign successful and eliminate the fatal disease. A detailed meeting with the clerics will be held after Eid al-Fitr [celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting], the chief minister added.

After weeks of an impasse on the Kartarpur corridor, the Government of India has written to Pakistan, proposing the next round of talks to be held from July 11 to 14 on the Pakistani side of the Attari-Wagah border, reports The Hindu on June 30. “The meeting would discuss the draft agreement on the modalities for movement of pilgrims along the Kartarpur corridor and resolve outstanding technical issues related to alignment and infrastructure along the corridor,” an official source said. The government’s decision to propose the fourth round of talks came a week after the External Affairs Ministry said Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote to his Pakistan counterpart Imran Khan. Mr. Modi wrote that India was keen on seeing the corridor completed in time for the 550th birth anniversary of Sikh founder Guru Nanak in November. “We will continue to work for early operationalisation of the Kartarpur Corridor and keeping it functional all year round,” Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said on June 20. However, talks had been put off as India had sought “clarifications” on several issues including whether to build a bridge or a causeway over the Ravi, proposed caps on pilgrim numbers, and the presence of Khalistani separatists in key posts of the gurdwara committee in Pakistan. Asked if the new Indian proposal for dates meant that the issues had now been resolved, a source said that the move “shows India’s commitment to the corridor”. India has also asked Pakistan to increase the number of pilgrims under the 1974 bilateral Protocol who visit annually various religious shrines in Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti, to 10,000 this year,” the source said. This will be the second round of meeting between senior officials to finalize the modalities after the two sides agreed last year to open the religious corridor, adds The Times of India. The first round earlier this year saw the Pakistani side visiting the Indian side of the border. Apart from that meeting, the two countries have also held three rounds of technical-level at the level of experts to try and finalise the alignment, crossing point and infrastructure along the corridor. Following the decision taken by the Cabinet on 22 November 2018, India is expeditiously building the requisite infrastructure, including a 4- lane highway and a state of art passenger terminal for the corridor, sources here said. More than 45 per cent of work on the Indian side is said to have been completed. "The target is to complete the road by end September 2019 and the passenger/ pilgrim terminal by end October 2019, in time to operationalize the Kartarpur corridor on the occasion of the 550th birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev falling in November 2019," said a source requesting anonymity. India though believes that Pakistan has not been flexible in dealing with issues like the number of pilgrims who would be allowed to visit the Gurudwara every day. While India has proposed that 5,000 pilgrims visit the shrine daily, and 15,000 on special days, Pakistan doesn't want more than 500-700 per day. India has asked Pakistan to increase the number of pilgrims, under the 1974 bilateral Protocol, who visit annually to various religious shrines in Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti, to 10000 this year on his occasion of 550th anniversary. "In addition to the above, India has also asked Pakistan to permit and facilitate Nagar Kirtan to be organized by SGPC and Delhi Sikh GurudwaraPrabandhak Committee (DSGPC) at Gurudwara Nankana Sahib in July 2019 and then in October / November 2019 to mark the year-long celebrations of 550th Anniversary of Guru Nanak Devji," said a source. India has also urged Islamabad to not promote secessionist activities while carrying out work on the corridor meant to facilitate pilgrimage to the Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara in Pakistan.

Ahead of the India-Pakistan talks over Kartarpur corridor on July 14, Pakistan removed the name of pro-Khalistan leader Gopal Singh Chawla from the committee on July 12, reports India TV. The development was confirmed through an official statement on July 12, which said, “The Federal Government (Federal Cabinet) has been pleased to re-constitute the Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC).” Chawla is a close associate of Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed and resides in Pakistan. He is suspected of planning terrorist attacks in India. Gopal Singh Chawla is even said to hold meetings with global terrorist Masood Azhar and Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan. A few days back, pictures showing Chawla in an interaction with Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa were also circulated on the social media. According to the Government of India sources, delegates from India and Pakistan will meet at the Attari-Wagah border on July 14 to discuss issues related to the Kartarpur Corridor, including connectivity at the Zero Point and the number of pilgrims to be allowed. India will also raise its concerns over the security aspect, they added. New Delhi had earlier conveyed its strong concerns to Pakistan over the presence of a leading Khalistani separatist in a committee appointed by Islamabad on the project.

After his removal from the Kartarpur corridor committee, the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) General Secretary, pro-Khalistani leader Gopal Singh Chawla in a video on the social media said that “Pakistan treated him worse than a dog”, reports The New Indian Express on July 18. "Pakistan ne hamey kutta bhi nahi samjha," he was heard saying in the video. He said, despite all the sacrifices made by him, he was booted out of the panel. "We understand the decision was a part of a policy, but at least the PSGPC members could have been called for a meeting before announcing the decision. No one even asked for our views. We were treated like dogs," he said. Earlier, acceding to India's request, Pakistan dropped Chawla from a panel linked to the Kartarpur Corridor, ahead of the July 14 meeting between officials of the two sides on the cross-border corridor. The Pakistan Government announced a new 10-member PSGPC, minus Chawla, following objections from India. However, the PSGPC has included another known pro-Khalistani leader, Ameer Singh, in the panel. Ameer Sing, the brother of known Khalistani leader Bishen Singh is said to be among the frontline leaders of the Khalistani movement in Pakistan.

Around 500 Indian Sikhs arrived in Pakistan on July 30 to take part in celebrations in connection with the 550th birth anniversary of Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev, reports First Post. According to sources, since the arrival of the Indian Sikhs was kept in a "low profile" neither the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), which looks after holy places of minorities in the country, nor the Pakistan Gurdwara Parbhandhak Committee (PSGPC) were taken on board by the Imran Khan Government regarding their arrival. The Pakistani media was also not invited to the venue to cover the arrival of the Sikh pilgrims from India. However, the Pakistan foreign office later in the day issued a statement confirming the arrival of 500 Indian Sikhs but did not tell whether they crossed over via under construction Kartarpur corridor or Wagah border.

According to an official statement on August 11, Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh expressed concern over reports of slowdown in activities of discernible showdown by Pakistan to develop Kartarpur corridor, reports New Indian Express. The CM urged Pakistan not to back out of their commitment. The CM also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce a special economic package for the development of the border states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir to create better job opportunities. Additionally, according to Government officials, Pakistan’s enthusiasm over Kartarpur corridor will depend on the unfolding situation in Kashmir once the restrictions are relaxed, reports The Tribune on August 11. While not commenting on reports that Pakistan had slowed down work on the corridor, they referred to influential voices in its establishment, such as those of former Foreign Secretary Abdul Basit, calling for work to be suspended in light of India’s Jammu and Kashmir moves. The Indian establishment has viewed the Kartarpur Corridor with a tinge of suspicion. There have been recurring concerns after the seizures of explosives and arms in Punjab and Haryana that Pakistan is attempting to destabilise Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.

Lahore Police are extensively engaging different stakeholders to devise a comprehensive plan to ensure security during Muharram, especially at a time when severe threats are looming large, The Express Tribune reports on August 24. The force is also conducting internal police conferences and mock exercises to gear up for all eventualities. As part of the plan, Lahore Police took Peace Committee Members on board. Two days ago, the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) presided over a meeting held at Police Lines Qila Gujjar Singh. Committees and delegations from different sections of society were present and the purpose of the engagement was to ask them play an active role in maintaining interfaith harmony and reviving active communication. Superintendent of Police (SP) Security Muhammad Naveed said the police have reinforced the pickets at entry and exit points of the city. He added the force also had a plan to improve and enhance picketing in areas close to the main processions. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ashfaq Ahmad said that on-ground security plan was four-layered.

After Pakistan’s Punjab Governor announced that a settlement has been reached on the incident of alleged forced conversion of a Sikh woman in Nankana Sahib near Lahore, representatives of Sikh organisations in India believe that the neighbouring country was involved in propaganda to instigate the Sikh community for its own benefit, reports First Post on September 4. Gurdeep Singh, chairman of DaswandSewa Society (a Ludhiana-based Sikh NGO), stated that Pakistan, through sustained propaganda, is trying to instigate Sikhs against India. He highlighted that the population of Sikhs in Pakistan has fallen sharply over the past few years. He added that Pakistan had no intention of reuniting the victim with her family and did it only under pressure. India's central intelligence agencies have expressed concerns about the Inter-Services Intelligence’s (ISI) association with pro-Khalistan elements. According to reports, these separatist elements are trying to radicalise Sikh youth in the Indian state of Punjab through sustained campaigns on social media run from countries like Canada, United Kingdom (UK) and Germany. Khalistani supporters have also organised rallies against India in connivance with the ISI in the UK. The recent case of Jagjit Kaur hasn’t gone down well with Sikhs across the world, who earlier believed that Pakistan was making genuine efforts to reach out to minorities by agreeing to construct the Kartarpur corridor. However, the recent case has now infuriated the Sikhs who say that Pakistan cannot be trusted.

The agreement on the Kartarpur Corridor project, which will open the famed pilgrimage centre to Indians, could not be signed on September 4 after Pakistan declared that it would charge fees from the visitors, reports The Hindu. Government sources said that the two sides, which met in Attari, were in agreement on most points, but the final pact stalled over key differences. “Owing to certain differences over a few issues, the agreement could not be finalised. Pakistan has insisted on charging a service fee for allowing pilgrims to visit Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib, which is not agreeable in the spirit of smooth and easy access through the corridor,” sources said. It was also pointed out that Pakistan declined India’s request to let consular officials accompany the pilgrims. The presence of Indian consular officials at Kartarpur has acquired importance in view of the reported activities of Khalistan supporters in Pakistan. Earlier, the pro-Khalistan figure Gopal Singh Chawla’s name was removed from the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committtee (PSGPC), after India’s objection. However, Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal, after the talks, said that the Sikh pilgrims would be issued special cards instead of visas to visit their religious site on the special occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak. He said that talks between Pakistan and India on Kartarpur Corridor were held in a positive environment despite tension in relations between the two countries over the Kashmir crisis. He said the two sides have almost agreed to the draft agreement on the operationalisation of Kartarpur Corridor except for two or three points.

Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh on October 3 ruled out a visit to Pakistan for the Kartarpur Corridor opening, making it clear that he would be only leading the first all-party Jatha to the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara to pay obeisance, reports The Times of India. He reiterated that Punjab was the worst sufferer of Pakistan’s cross border terrorism and he cannot think of going there till it stops. The chief minister had, earlier in the day, called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind and former PM Dr Manmohan Singh to extend a formal invitation to participate in the main events organized by the state government to mark the historic occasion.

Indian intelligence agencies have spotted terrorist training activities in Narowal, the border District, and Sheikhupura District in Punjab province of Pakistan, reports The Times of India on November 4. As per the report, the intelligence alert has been received less than a week from the opening of the Kartarpur corridor for Indian pilgrims. The said corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in Gurdaspur District of Punjab in India with the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara located in Narowal District of Punjab province in Pakistan. Sources in the intelligence agencies said terrorist training camps are situated at Muridke (Sheikhupura), Shakargarh (Narowal), and Narowal Districts of Punjab province in Pakistan where “substantial number of men and women are reportedly camping and undergoing training”. The said details emerged at a recently held joint meeting of all top security agencies of the country to discuss issues related to border management in Punjab. The biggest challenge, the agencies said, is the opening of the Kartarpur corridor as anti-India activities are likely to be carried out by hostile elements in Pakistan, especially “those likely to come into contact with pilgrims at the shrine”.

Pakistan, on November 4, rejected the media reports about the presence of alleged terrorist training camps in Narowal District of Punjab province, calling them ‘baseless’ and a ‘malicious’ propaganda campaign, reports Tribune India. According to earlier reports, Indian intelligence agencies have spotted terrorist training activities in the said District, where Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara is situated. A statement released by Pakistan Foreign Office (FO), said that “Pakistan completely rejects baseless reports in a section of the Indian media, attributed to ‘intelligence sources’.” It said Pakistan’s Kartarpur spirit is aimed at facilitating Nanak Naamlevas (followers), especially Sikhs, to visit one of their most revered places of worship and promoting inter-faith harmony. “The content of the media reports in question is part of a malicious propaganda campaign in India that cannot be condemned enough; we have no doubt that such mischievous attempts would be rejected with the contempt that they deserve”, the FO further said.

An antiterrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on November 30, announced to indict on December 7 proscribed Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed and other JuD leaders who were booked in July for offences pertaining to terror financing, reports Daily Times. Hafiz Saeed, deputy emir Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki, Hafiz Abdul Salam bin Mohammad, Professor Zafar Iqbal, Mohammad Ashraf, Yahya Aziz, and others were presented before the court on November 30 under strict security. The court was provided copies of nearly two dozen cases registered against the JuD leaders during the hearing which was presided over by Judge Malik Arshad Bhutta, according to Deputy Prosecutor General Abdul Rauf Watoo. “As per law, after the provision of copies to the court, the trial begins. The first step of a trial is indictment,” explained Watoo. The state’s counsel requested the court to hold daily hearings since the copies had been provided. At this, the lawyers for the JuD leaders, Naseeruddin Nayyar and Imran Gul, argued that they be given a week’s time so that they can carefully examine the documents and prepare their arguments. When the state counsel pressed for daily hearings nonetheless, Judge Bhutta said, “The law binds us to hold a fair trial with properly prepared arguments. That’s why everyone should be given time.” With this, he adjourned the trial till December 7.

Jammat-ud-Dawa (JuD) ‘chief’ and founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of 2008 attacks in Mumbai, pleaded not guilty on December 20 in a second case on charges of financing terrorism, reports Daily Times. Saeed, who was indicted on similar charges in another case on December 11, was presented in an anti-terrorism court in Lahore, prosecutor Abdur Rauf Watto said. Defence lawyer Imran Gill said the second case was related to Hafiz Saeed’s charity operations. “The charities the accused ran collected illegal funds,” Watto said. The counterterrorism department had arrested Hafiz Saeed in July, days before a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan. The indictments came ahead of a meeting of world financial watchdog Financial Action Task Force (FATF) early next year that will decide whether to blacklist Pakistan for its failure to curb terror financing.
