Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) ‘chief’ Hafiz Mohammad Saeed on January 12 warned India will have to leave Kashmir just like the United States has been compelled to pull out from Afghanistan, reports India Today. Saeed said this while addressing at a local media workshop in Pakistani capital of Islamabad. The workshop was organised by Defence of Pakistan Council, an alliance of about 40 religious and political parties. "America, that did not want to leave Afghanistan, is now forced to leave it. It had long plans in Central Asia. It wanted to change the entire scenario in this region. It had plans to make this region its base and had further big aims. If my God failed it in its plans and now it has been forced to leave Afghanistan, then God willing, India will have to leave Kashmir," Saeed told the participants of the workshop.

Pakistani media professionals are vowing to maintain a free press in the face of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)'s recent threats against them, and the country is calling for broad support of the media, given their key role in the war against terrorism, Central Asia Online reported on January 17. "Several journalists have lost their lives for the truth," KP Inspector General of Police Nasir Khan Durrani said. "[But] the police will take any security measure to protect media men and media houses." The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Shura, under the leadership of Mullah Fazlullah, recently decided unanimously to target journalists or news outlets that carry what they call "fabricated" statements that "tarnish" the TTP's image or that of their spokesman, Shahidullah Shahid. But journalists remain committed to providing accurate accounts of what is happening in society. "The media have to convey a true picture to the masses," Peshawar-based senior journalist and Khyber Union of Journalists (KhUJ) President Nisar Mehmood told Central Asia Online. "No doubt journalists, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [KP] and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas [FATA], are facing death threats, but still we have to depict a true picture of society and convey the truth," he said. The threats will not destroy journalistic principles, journalist and former Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) secretary general Mazhar Abbas said.

The Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) has threatened to target Bengali-speaking refugees in lower Assam and North Bengal areas, if SFs continue their alleged torture of Koch-Rajbongshis, reports The Telegraph. In a recent press release by the KLO ‘general secretary’ Kailash Koch, the organisation has threatened the Bengal and Assam governments that it might target refugees in north Bengal and lower Assam districts, if the alleged torturing of the Koch-Rajbongshi did not stop. Koch alleged that a joint team of Bengal and Assam police had arrested the sister and brother-in-law of their “deputy commander-in chief”, other protesters and Koch Rajbongshi from several areas with fake notes and tortured them without any reason.“We strongly condemn the police action and called a 24-hour bandh on January 12 (later postponed to January 17) because of the harassment meted out to innocent Koch-Rajbongshis. Unless the Bengal and Assam Governments stop this and release the arrested people, we might be compelled to take action against Bengali refugees,” the statement said.

The coordinator of Taliban-appointed negotiation committee, Yousuf Shah, on February 18 cautioned that there could be a surge in acts of violence in case peace negotiations were not held, reports The News. “The Government committee does not appear to be serious in holding the talks,” he said, adding, ‘the violent acts may witness a surge in case the dialogue was not held’. “If the Government and Taliban committees remained at distance, it could lead to an increase in the acts of terror,” he cautioned. Separately, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on February 18 claimed that it is serious about peace talks with the Government, reports Dawn. TTP ‘spokesman’ Shahidullah Shahid said the Taliban leadership was in constant contact with all factions on the issue of ceasefire and a decision in this respect would be taken soon. He said all Taliban factions unanimously backed the dialogue process and there would be no problem in implementing TTP’s decisions, including the issue of ceasefire, claiming the TTP practised Sharia’h and any decision endorsed by the chief of the Tehreek was final and obligatory for all factions to abide by. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chaired a meeting of the Government's committee formed to hold talks with negotiators representing the TTP, during which the committee expressed its inability to carry forward peace talks, reported Dawn. The committee said the talks could not progress without any solid steps and also asked the TTP to unconditionally cease all violent activities without any delay. According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister House, the Government committee briefed Nawaz Sharif and told him that during the 13-day process of talks several acts of violence took place killing a number of people. The committee further said that the talks were progressing satisfactorily until the Taliban-claimed blast was carried out in Karachi on February 13, 2014. Following these developments, the committee members had unanimously decided that holding the scheduled talks with the Taliban committee was a meaningless effort. Also, the Government mediators on February 18 demanded a ceasefire from the Taliban before they resumed peace talks as another two soldiers were killed in separate attacks, reports Daily Times

CPI-Maoist has issued warning to the Judges in Chhattisgarh saying that that they will face trial in the Jan Adalat (people’s court) who award punishment to the tribals “without any evidence or under instructions from the Police,” reports The New Indian Express on March 27. The warning came in a three-page statement signed by Dandkaranya Special Zone committee 'spokesperson' Gudsa Usendi. To substantiate the charge, the Maoists have cited the case of one of their woman cadre Nirmala, who was arrested by the Police in 2007 and has been languishing in the Jagdalpur prison ever since. “145 cases were filed against her. In 100 of them, she has been set free. This shows how the government is wrongly arresting people on the basis of false charges. Another cadre, Malti was given 10 years’ term for distributing a video CD that showed the atrocities committed by the Salwa Judum. No evidence was submitted in her case. The High Court rejected their appeal even without going into the merits of the case,” it said.

The intelligence bureau (IB) warned Delhi Police about a possible terror strike at north Delhi’s busy Chandni Chowk market in the run-up to Independence Day (August 15), reports Hindustan Times on June 13. Previous IB-generated terror forewarnings either mentioned south Delhi markets such as Greater Kailash M-block and Connaught Place, where multiple bombings have occurred in the past as possible targets, or were general advisories asking the Police to step-up security across popular market places in the Capital. This time, however, the input is unambiguous and, according to sources in the IB, goes to the extent of stating that ‘militant Islamist cadre’ were chalking out a plan to ‘replicate’ attacks like the multiple bombings of February 2013 at Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, in addition to a similar attack at Mumbai’s Zaveri Bazaar during serial blasts by the Indian Mujahideen (IM) in 2011. What is worrying about the possible attack is the fact that Chandni Chowk won’t be one of the targets but the sole target this time around,” said an unknown IB official. He added that the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was the number one suspect.

Flanked by other members of the peace body, including Malik Noor Rahman Dawar, Fazal Khan Wazir, Saad Shah and Fazal Ghafar Wazir, the tribal elder said that they could not believe in the hollow claims of the government and would protest for provision of basic facilities and proper shelter if they were forced to vacate school buildings in parts of Bannu and other Districts. Malik Noor Rehman said that almost 25,000 displaced families had been accommodated in various Government schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but now they had received a notice to vacate the schools before August 30. He said that it was a great injustice with IDPs and they could not tolerate it. He said that FATA Disaster Management Authority (FDMA) had set up a helpline to solve the problems being faced by IDPs, but there was no one to respond to the callers.

The Union Government ordered several states to be on increased alert after al Qaeda announced it has formed a wing in India and its neighbourhood, NDTV reports on September 4. In the video posted online, al Qaeda 'chief' Ayman al Zawahri singles out Indian states of Assam, Gujarat and Kashmir with large Muslim populations, along with Bangladesh and Myanmar, as territories targeted by the new organization. NDTV also adds that Pakistan-based Asim Umar, a top al Qaida operative, has been named to lead the Qaedat-al-Jihad, the new terror unit that Zawahri has announced will operate in the Indian sub-continent. In recent months Umer has issued a series of statements encouraging Muslim youth to take to the path of Jihad and calling for the establishment of a caliphate or Islamic state in India and its neighbourhood, a theme that also resonates in Jihadi literature and propaganda used by the Pakistan-based terror groups Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).The Indian security establishment has in its initial analysis of Zawahri's announcement told the government that the al Qaeda-led operations in India are likely to be handled by a splinter group of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) based in Pakistan. The group, led by a man called Shiekh Armar from Hyderabad and another, Dr Shahnawaz, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, recently released a video which talked about men trained in Afghanistan fighting in India.

Nicholas Rasmussen, Deputy Director, National Counterterrorism Center of US, on September 11 said that the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is against improving relations between India and Pakistan, reports Zee News. Rasmussen said LeT has attacked Western interests in South Asia in pursuit of its regional objectives, as demonstrated by the targeting of hotels frequented by Westerners during the Mumbai attacks in 2008. He added Pakistani and Afghan militant groups including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the Haqqani Network and LeT continue to pose a direct threat to US interests and its allies in the region, where these groups probably will remain focused. "We continue to watch for indicators that any of these groups, networks, or individuals are actively pursuing or have decided to incorporate operations outside of South Asia as a strategy to achieve their objectives," he said.

The arrest of a third Sri Lankan spying on India on behalf of Pakistan in less than 10 months has got intelligence agencies to train their focus back on growing radicalization among Tamil-speaking Muslims in eastern Sri Lanka where Pakistan has been fishing for a long time, The Times of India reports on September 15. Intelligence sources say, there is information that not only is Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) regularly recruiting youth from this troubled region of Sri Lanka for espionage and covert operations against India but even Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has set up a base and now wields some sort of influence in the region. "The region has been in some ethnic turmoil of late and Pakistan has been fishing in troubled waters. For its intelligence-collection and covert action operations directed against India, ISI uses four external bases - Kathmandu [Nepal], Dubai, Bangkok [Thailand] and Colombo [Sri Lanka]. The last one has traditionally been used as a base to collect intelligence about developments in sensitive Indian nuclear and missile establishments, many of which are located in south India, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. But the last few arrests show that these elements could now be used to mount an attack. This is worrying," said a security establishment officer. Radicalization in eastern Sri Lanka began way back in the 1980s when clashes with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and Tamils led to a section of Muslims gravitating towards fundamentalist forces. Post Lanka-LTTE war, this radicalization is now being fuelled by increasing attacks of triumphant Buddhist Sinhala groups on the religious minority, who make 9.7 per cent of Sri Lanka's population.

Union Minister of Home Affairs, Rajnath Singh on September 18 raised the issue of growing radicalization among Muslims in Nepal settled near Indo-Nepal border with Nepal Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and Home Minister Bam Dev Gautam, The Times of India reports on September 18. Certain pockets in these areas are learnt to have become fishing pools for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and is suspected of being used against India. Singh is on a visit to Kathmandu for South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Nepal. An official statement released by his office said, "The Indian HM (home minister) expressed his concern on the growth of religious fundamentalism in the border areas." Intelligence agencies have been warning for the past few years that a string of madrasas (Islamic seminary) coupled with large-scale settling of Muslims has been systematically taking place in Nepal along its border with India. These colonies, says security establishment sources, are being tapped by ISI for anti-India activities. Singh also appreciated the efforts of Nepal government in dealing with trans-border crimes and underlined the need for more focused effort to control the activities of criminal elements, terrorists and other Indian insurgent groups along the Indo-Nepal border. "He expressed concern on the smuggling of fake currency notes and human trafficking. He stated that there is a need for evolving bilateral mechanism for dealing with the issue of human trafficking," said the official.

On September 20, the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) threatened that the opposition parties would launch street protests if the government did not agree to form High-Level Political Committee (HLPC) as per the agreement reached among the major parties on December 24, reports The Himalayan Times. UCPN-M leader Janardan Sharma dared ruling coalition partners, Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), to announce that the December 24 agreement was a mistake. “It is shameful that neither the ruling parties say the agreement was wrong nor are they ready to implement it,” he said, while addressing the Legislature-Parliament before the meeting was obstructed. Sharma urged Prime Minister Sushil Koirala to postpone his US visit until September 21, so that the parties could forge consensus to form the HLPC.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has warned journalists working in Chhattisgarh against helping the Police in carrying out surrender of Maoist cadres, reports The Hindu on November 2. “We appeal to the journalist brothers to condemn the fake surrenders and stop encouraging those who have deceived the people’s movement. The journalists who support the surrendered Maoists will be termed as ‘anti-people’ by the party,” said Ganesh Uike, ‘secretary’ of the South Regional Committee (SRC) of the CPI-Maoist, in a press statement. The Maoist leader criticised senior journalist and president of Bastar press club Karrimuddin for giving “financial assistance” to a surrendered Maoist cadre a few days ago. “Karrimuddin is a senior journalist. It does not behove him to encourage those (surrendered Maoists) who have deceived the people’s movement. He should not repeat this,” said the Maoist leader.The SRC secretary termed the spate of Maoist surrenders in Bastar in the past few months as “fake and engineered”. “The new surrender policy is acting as a tool for corrupt police and paramilitary officers to loot money. The police and administration is misleading the media about surrenders. Common people and activists working in Bastar are threatened with arrest and are asked to pose as surrendered Maoists. In many cases, former Maoists, who quit the party many years ago, are being re-arrested,” claimed Ganesh Uike, whose name has figured in almost all the major incidents of violence against police in the last five to 10 years.Uike alleged that in the past few months Bastar police and paramilitary forces had killed many civilians and branded them as Maoists. “Three women members of the PLGA were caught and tortured before being killed. Bastar Inspector General of Police (IGP) S.R.P. Kalluri is misleading the media. The journalists should not believe the police version on surrenders and encounters. We appeal our journalist brothers to come to the spot and verify facts before writing,” added the press statement.The Maoists party secretary also appealed the journalists to stop “defaming” the CPI (Maoist) for “red terror”. “We are not terrorists, but we are patriots and we are fighting for the people. We are standing against many multinational companies, preventing them from snatching land from tribal people. The media should support us rather than supporting the ‘exploiter’ government,” said the Maoist leader calling for “Dandakaranya bandh” on November 8 against the Narendra Modi government’s “Brahmnic and fascist policies”.Karrimuddin has denied the allegations and said that he was just giving reward money to a surrendered Maoist at a ceremony.

A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) has threatened to call for an ‘indefinite stir’ in protest against the State Governments failure to initiate peace talks with the militant group, reports The Shillong Times on November 24. The ‘political secretary’ of UALA, Rangdat Garo said that the State Government was dragging its feet on the peace talks with UALA and accused it of failing to bring any group to the negotiating table with concrete conclusion. Meanwhile, a little known group calling itself the A’chik Revolutionary Force (ARF), believed to be having close ties to the UALA, has voiced its support for the group in its endeavour for peace talks. However, Meghalaya Police claim that there is no such group as ARF other than UALA using the same name to exert pressure on the Government. A Police source stated that “UALA is desperate to hold peace talks to escape police operations. They are using the name of ARF to show the government that a conglomerate of outfits under the banner of ARF is supporting them. The ARF is UALA,”.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in a threatening letter on December 19 warned the Federal Government that it will start eliminating children of politicians, including Sharif's family, and Army officers, if the Pakistan Government keeps its commitment to hang militants owing allegiance to the terror outfit, reports The Times of India. The letter was received by Pakistan authorities on December 19, 2014. Sources said that they were trying to verify if the letter was genuine. The letter justified the killing of young children saying the kids were committed to following in the footsteps of their parents. The letter says that if any incarcerated terrorist is killed, TTP will take revenge by killing more young children. "Let us make it clear to Pakistan establishment that if any of our associates is harmed, we will avenge ourselves by targeting your children. We would ensure that houses of army generals and political leaders become centers of mourning," said the letter. It further read, "Why the human rights organizations, which are not aware of the reasons of the attack on Army Public School, silent on this decision of the infidel Government. We, in light of Islamic teaching, consider the killing of the children of army personnel as justified as they are not opposing the anti-Islam role of their parents and are committed to follow the path of their parents. We are giving an open invitation of debate to religion leaders who are issuing decrees in favor of the Government."
