A Police informer was hacked to death by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Bastar District of Chhattisgarh late on June 1, reports Business Standard. The incident occurred when the deceased, identified as Chhannu Sodhi (30), was on a visit to Bastanar weekly market under Kodenar Police Station area of the District, a local Police official said. Sodhi was attacked by a 'small action team' of Maoists (typically comprising four-five cadres) with axes, leaving him dead on the spot, he said. Sodhi was working as 'gopaniyasainik' (secret Police informer), who are appointed by Superintendent of Police (SP) at local level for anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] operations, especially for gathering intelligence. Mostly surrendered cadres work as Police informers, but Sodhi had not been associated with the outlawed Maoists, the official added.

Over 100 militants, including 23 foreigners, were killed in Jammu and Kashmir in the first five months of 2019, but what is keeping the security establishment worried is the large number of new recruits, officials said on June 2, reports Daily Pioneer. According to them, 50 youngsters have joined various terror outfits since March and the security establishment needs to find a better way to cut off the supply chain and can even consider educating families on radicalisation of the youth. The officials said 101 militants - 23 foreigners and 78 local militants - were killed in 2019 till May 31. They include top ‘commanders’ such as Zakir Musa, the ‘chief’ of so-called Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, a group affiliated with al Qaeda. However, there is a sudden surge of militants from Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) joining Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, especially after the elimination of Musa on May 23, they said. The officials, many of whom are engaged in either fighting militancy on the ground or formulating strategy, believe there is a need for having a re-look at all anti-militancy policy and for engaging with youths and parents to educate them about evils of radicalisation. Among the terrorists killed, Shopian accounted for a maximum of 25, including 16 local militants. Pulwama was second with the killings of 15 militants, followed by Awantipora with 14 and Kulgam with 12. However, all these highly-volatile areas in south Kashmir continue to contribute more youths to various militant groups.

A delegation of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on June 6 met Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking the return of rare manuscripts and documents taken from the Sikh Reference Library at the Golden Temple complex by the Army during Operation Blue Star, reports The New Indian Express. The delegation sought the return of the documents to the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) on the anniversary of the army operation inside the temple complex to flush out Khalistani militants. SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal sought return of antiques, artefacts and books allegedly taken away by the Army during the operation, pension to those from the Sikh community who quit the Army in protest, and permission for a religious procession to Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary, adds the Indian Express. There were chaotic scenes on the 35thanniversary of Operation Blue Star, as the task force of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) got into an altercation with Sikh ‘hardliners’ at the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar on June 6, reports The New Indian Express. Turbans were tossed and swords were flashed as unseemly scenes played out in full public view on a day of commemoration. As soon as the Akal Takht Jathedar (highest temporal seat of the Sikhs), Harpreet Singh, finished his address and a kirtan started playing, the hardliners grew restive and disruptions followed. Pro-Khalistan supporters, chanting slogans and sporting T-shirts emblazoned with the image of killed militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, tried to force their way into the area around the Akal Takht. Several radicals wearing t-shirts with photo of militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale raised anti-India slogans and tried to break into the Akal Takht area. This led to a scuffle between the radicals and the SGPC’s task force and the police present in mufti. The incident happened approximately 100 feet away from the sanctum sanctorum.

Around 5,000 security personnel have been deployed across Amritsar ahead of the 35th anniversary of Operation Blue Star on June 6, reports Indian Express.

His presence at Akal Takht is seen as the biggest headache for SGPC and the Police as there are apprehensions that Sikh hardliners might create trouble in the Golden Temple complex.Radical Sikh outfit, Dal Khalsa, has called for a shut down in Amritsar on June 6 to protest the Army action in the Golden Temple.Earlier, on June 4, Dal Khalsa and Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar)’s annual ‘Sikh Genocide Remembrance’ march got support from Students For Society (SFS), a left leaning student body. This is the first time SFS has lent support to the march.Punjab University Student council president Kanupriya took part in the march and extended her support to the cause of Dal Khalsa, that raised demand of Khalistan during the march.“It is a time when fascism is in control of power and there is need to stand with minorities. SFS supports demand of self-determination of Dal Khalsa,” said Kanupriya.Activists led by Dal Khalsa youth leader Paramjit Singh Mand were carrying photographs of damaged Golden Temple and Akal Takht and those killed in the army action.Addressing the protest march, Dal Khalsa chief H S Dhami said: “The sentiments of sovereignty that were strengthened by the Army attack have not been buried with the passage of time and change in the political scenario.”

The new Foreigners (Tribunals) Amendment Order 2019, dated May 30, allows all states to constitute their own FTs, earlier unique to Assam, to address the question of citizenship of a person, reports News 18 on June 10.

Further, sub-clause 17 of the new paragraph 3A in the Order reads: “Subject to the provision of this Order, the Tribunal shall have the power to regulate its own procedure for disposal of the cases expeditiously in a time bound manner.”

An intelligence report has suggested that pro-Khalistan group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is working to strengthen its network across United Kingdom (UK), reports Zeenews on June 11. The report says that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is funding the Babbar Khalsa International group and helping it expand in Britain and other parts of the world. The ISI is also making attempts to bolster other pro-Khalistan outfits in different parts of the world.Backed by Pakistan’s ISI, the Babbar Khalsa International has expanded its presence in cities like Birmingham, Derby and Coventry. Indian intelligence agencies fear that the BKI is also trying to increase its influence at some religious places across Britain so that it can target Punjab again.An official of the Ministry of Home Affairs said that the ISI has been involved in many anti-India activities in Britain and also played a role in protests held against India.The reports warned that the ISI had been circulating several forged and fake documents with the help of different groups on social media in India.A fake letter, alleging that Sikh soldiers in the Indian Army were under scanner, was widely circulated on social media platforms recently. A separatist group named Sikh For Justice (SFJ) was used for the purpose. Apart from circulating the fake letter on social media, the outfit also staged protests against the Indian Army in several countries.The same group is also being used by Pakistan’s ISI to radicalise Sikh youth in India by spreading misinformation. The group is also believed to be targeting Indians visiting the Kartarpur Sahib. For this purpose, Pakistani authorities recently allowed Sikh For Justice (SFJ) to open its office in Lahore.

India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin speaking at an open debate on the situation in Afghanistan at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) said on June 19 that India stands committed to support the peace process, which promotes and protects unity, sovereignty, democracy, inclusiveness and prosperity of the country. Akbaruddin said that while the country may be perceived as a "threat of transnational terrorism" it is the people of Afghanistan who have long been its victims. "As the way forward is chalked out, we cannot ignore that groups enjoying support and safe havens carry out violent and terrorist activities from across borders. They cannot be allowed to negotiate from a place of advantage," said Akbaruddin. "The sanctuaries and safe havens provided to terror networks have to be addressed for genuine and sustainable peace. The terrorist activities of the Taliban, Haqqani Network, Islamic State (IS), as well as Al Qaeda (AQ) and its proscribed affiliates, including the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), need to end," he added.

A Pakistani spy who went by the Facebook nickname 'Sejal Kapoor' managed to hack into the computer systems of more than 98 officials from various defense forces and organizations, including the Indian Army, Air Force, Navy, paramilitary forces and state police personnel in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh (MP), Punjab and UP between 2015 and 2018, reports Times of India on June 20. She "trapped" her targets by showing her videos and pictures with the help of a software malware released from a third-party server hosted in a West Asian country. She was involved in the case related to the leak of classified data on BrahMos missile in 2018. Accessed chats show the details of the malware called 'Whisper' used by her. Malware is an abbreviated form of 'malicious software' that is specifically designed to gain access to or damage a computer, usually without the knowledge of the owner. Sejal's Facebook account had cropped up following the arrest of BrahMos senior systems missile projects engineer Nishant Agarwal by the Uttar Pradesh (UP) anti-terrorism squad (ATS) and military intelligence (MI) for passing on classified information about the project to Pakistan spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). "Instantly, after getting downloaded, the malware first prompts the user to key in a code. It's to ensure that the app is not a virus or malware. Immediately after that, it scans all latest attachments sent from the computer in emails or downloads. It then scans all files with photographs, databases of MS Word and MS Excel, by first verifying their encryption keys and then opening their passwords," said a senior intelligence official.

Ghosh submitted before the Division Bench that they were falsely implicated on sedition charges and the Arms Act by the police who claimed to have seized gelatin sticks and ammunition for .303 rifles from a rented apartment in the Hooghly District of West Bengal. The sessions court in Jhargram found them guilty of sedition charges and under Arms Act and sentenced them to life imprisonment in 2005. The three persons filed an appeal before the High Court in 2006. Sushil Roy died during pendency of the appeal in 2014, Ghosh said.

India and Pakistan held a technical meeting between their officials on the Attari-Wagah Border on May 27 regarding Kartarpur Corridor, reports The Indian Express. While India wants a bridge over the Zero Line and has already begun constructing one on its side, Pakistan is insisting on constructing a causeway, sources said. India is of the view that not building a bridge would lead to flooding of Indian areas during monsoon when the Ravi river overflows. Pakistan has been saying that building a bridge would lead to missing the November deadline when the two countries plan to throw open the corridor connecting Gurudwara Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur with Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. The two Gurudwaras are approximately 8 kilometers (km) apart, with both the countries having decided to construct 4 km each on their side. In the March 19 meeting, Pakistan had been positive about India’s concerns over flooding. However, in the April 16 meeting, they steered clear of the issue. “On May 27, they said they would make a causeway,” an official said. There are several other issues which the two countries continue to negotiate without much success. While India had sought consular presence at the Kartarpur Gurudwara to help Indian pilgrims, Pakistan has not agreed. India has had no commitment from Pakistan on the issue of pro-Khalistani faces in Pakistan’s committee. In March, the induction of Gopal Singh Chawla in the 10-member committee of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC), which is expected to “facilitate” the visit of Indians pilgrims to the Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara, had led to the cancellation of scheduled meeting between India and Pakistan. Chawla had played a key role in raising pro-Khalistan slogans and putting up posters on a Sikh referendum in November 2018, during the visit of Indian pilgrims. India has also been pushing for allowing Overseas Citizens of India to visit Kartarpur which Pakistan has not agreed to.

Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh on June 24 lambasted Canada for its “overt and covert” support to the Khalistan movement, warning that its failure to check anti-India activities being carried out from its soil would be detrimental to its own security, reports Daily Post. Citing findings of the John Major Commission into the 1985 Kanishka Bombing as a clear endorsement of Canada’s failure to act against Khalistanis operating from its soil, the Chief Minister said that by allowing the conspirators of the “mass murder”, the Canadian government had exposed its true intent.” It is more than apparent that Canada has been extending its support to Khalistanis despite New Delhi’s protestations,” said Singh. Pointing out that he himself had been raising the issue with the Canadian government, the Chief Minister said he had even given a list of “wanted terrorists” in Canada to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the latter’s India visit last year. The Chief Minister cited the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s 2018 Public Report to express concern over the fact that anti-India activities were on the rise in Canada.” The report points out that these activities pose a threat not just to the target country India, but also to the security of Canada,” said Amarinder Singh. He added that support to any kind of violence or terrorism would eventually be devastating for the entire global community, including nations that were blatantly backing them.

India informed Canada that there is little hope for improving frosty bilateral relations if Ottawa doesn’t address New Delhi’s concerns about the burgeoning activities of Khalistani operatives and organizations, sources said, reports Hindustan Times. The message was conveyed by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar when he held a bilateral meeting with his Canadian counterpart, Chrystia Freeland, on the margins of the G20 Summit in Japan on June 28, the sources said. People familiar with developments in both countries described the meeting as amicable, but said Jaishankar had made no bones about India’s concerns about efforts by Canada-based activists and groups to revive the Khalistan movement and the perceived failure of Ottawa to take a clear stand on the matter. The matter also figured when Canadian high commissioner Nadir Patel paid a courtesy call on Jaishankar on June 19 and the External Affairs Minister clearly laid out Indian’s concerns on the Khalistan issue, the sources said. Though there was no comment on the matter from Indian and Canadian officials, an unnamed official said that the issue had been brewing for a long time and India’s concerns could no longer be swept aside.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed an Adivasi youth after branding him a ‘police informer’ in Bongjangi village in Pedabayalu Mandal in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh on June 28, reports The Hindu. The victim was identified as Kora Sattibabu (21), a resident of Bongjangi village of Pedabayalu Mandal in the Visakhapatnam Agency.Police said that five Maoists arrived in the village in the morning and forcibly took the youth to the forest area and killed him. In a blood-stained letter found at the site of the killing, the Maoists said Sattibabu had earlier worked as a militia member. They accused him of using his position to extort money from the neighbouring villages. The Maoists said he did not change his ways despite being warned several times. Instead, Sattibabu had joined hands with the Police and passed on information to the Security Forces (SFs), the Maoists alleged in the letter. As a result, many militia members were arrested, the letter said. Sattibabu also had a hand in the surrender of many members in the recent past. He was shot dead after holding a ‘praja court’ (people's/ kangaroo court), the statement said. Those turning into ‘police informers’ would meet a similar fate, the Maoists warned.

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.
