After India banned 'Referendum 2020' voter registration websites, the US-based secessionist group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) has launched a voter registration App on Google play store, IANS reports on September 3 (today). The Google App ‘Voice Punjab 2020’ as per the banned organisation is launched to commemorate the 25th martyrdom day of Dilawar Singh, the assassin of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh. The mobile app facilitates the user to register as a voter for the anti-India campaign. Citing the UN Charter, the description of the app on the Google play store states that 'Voice Punjab 2020' is an App to facilitate voter registration for non-governmental Punjab Independence Referendum 2020 which is being organized under Article 1 of UN Charter which gives all peoples right to "self-determination" making it difficult for India to get the app banned and removed. However, the security agencies with the help of the Information and Technology Ministry and Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) are in the process of getting in touch with Google so that the App can be banned.

The National Investigation Agency on September 2, filed a charge sheet against five suspected operatives of the Islamic State (IS) who, the agency said, utilised the anti-CAA protests to instigate Muslims against the Indian government, reports New Indian Express. The agency also said the accused were planning to carry out “mass-killings in crowded places” to further the activities of IS in India. Filing the charge sheet in a Special NIA Court in Delhi, the agency named a Kashmiri couple, Jahanzaib Sami, 36, and Hina Bashir Beigh, 39. Three others who were charge sheeted are Hyderabad-based Abdullah Basith and Pune-based Sadiya Anwar Shaikh, 20, and Nabeel Siddick Khatri, 27. According to NIA, the accused conspired “to utilise the anti-CAA protests to instigate Muslims against the Indian government by coining seditious slogans and making graffiti at public places and highlighting the same on social and international media”. Jahanzaib, Hina Bashir, Abdullah Basith and Sadiya were also provoking some gullible youth to participate in anti-CAA protests actively. In case these protests failed to provoke the Muslims, they were planning for arsoning of government buildings and public property so that riots could happen and they could exploit the sentiments of Muslims, the agency said. The accused had also conducted reconnaissance at prominent places in Maharashtra, the NIA claimed.

This is the second such move of Pakistan blocked by the UNSC as earlier, two other Indians, Ajoy Mistry and Venu Madhav Dongara, were proffered by Pakistan.

Khalistan is a geopolitical project nurtured by Pakistan, concludes a Canadian think tank – Macdonald-Laurier Institute in its report titled ‘Khalistan: A Project of Pakistan’, which has adverse implications for the national security of both Canada and India, observes The Times of India on September 11. The report highlights how the Khalistan movement – ‘Referendum 2020’ spearheaded by the banned secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), owes its energy to Pakistan. The report authored by Canadian journalist Terry Milewski says: “It does not fit the Khalistani narrative that Pakistan’s treatment of its shrinking Sikh minority has brought demonstrations to the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi. Rather, it makes it all the more bizarre that undying solidarity with Pakistan has become a kind of theme song for the American lawyer, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who leads Sikhs For Justice, the driving force in the campaign for a referendum on Sikh independence.” Pannun, the report observes, has sided with China in its dispute with India and recently wrote to Pakistan PM Imran Khan, swearing that “if India ever attacked Pakistan, the pro-Khalistan Sikhs will extend full support to Pakistan”. The report marks, as a turning point, a 2018 event when Canada’s national security report had to omit a reference to Sikh Khalistanis. The 2018 Public Report on the Terrorism Threat to Canada replaced “Sikh (Khalistani) extremist ideologies and movements” with the more generic “Extremists who support violent means to establish an independent state within India.”

The IGP said, “On September 8, a joint operation was launched by Sukma Police from Bheji and Elarmadgu camp towards Pentapad-Entapad jungle area based on an intelligence input about the presence of CPI-Maoist cadres of Konta/Kistaram Area Committee. After the encounter, we recovered a few letters from the spot. The SFs, while translating one of the letters addressed to a senior cadre from South Bastar Division in Gondi dialect, learnt that the Maoists suffered huge casualties of 23 cadres during the Minpa encounter which took place on March 21, 2020.

And even the unlock phases are bringing no apparent respite as we maintained round-the-clock monitoring at the inter-district and inter-state borders where the movement continues to be regulated”, said Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sundarraj Patilingam.

On September 14, in a press statement, ‘deputy secretary and ministry of information and publicity (MIP) in charge’, Chungki, of National Socialist Council of Nagaland/ ‘Government of the People’s Republic of Nagaland- Khaplang’ (NSCN/GPRN-K) refuted the earlier statements issued by MIP on September 13, reports Morung Express. On September 13, NSCN-Khango Konyak faction in an emergency meeting removed its ‘general secretary’ Isak Sumi who also represents the group as the Co-Convenor in the Working Committee of the 7 Naga National Political Groups and instated Kilonser Newell Naga, as the new ‘general secretary’ of the faction, reports Northeasttoday. Sumi was replaced, on the charges of violation of Articles 18 and 23 of the Yezhabo (constitution), nepotism and tribalism. Following the expulsion, MIP had released a statement disowning the leadership of Khango Konyak and affirming the ‘general secretary' post of ‘Col’ Isak Sumi. However, in its recent statement, MIP has stated that Khango Konyak was re-elected as the ‘president’/’chairman’ of NSCN/GPRN-K and co-convenor of NNPGs and the W/C Member as AM Kaiba, Kilonser of NSCN/GPRN-K. MIP also stated that the previous statement regarding the support and co-operation gained by ‘Col’ Isak Sumi “from all the regions” tends to be “baseless as all the recognised regions of NSCN-K are intact and present at council headquarters (CHQ) Anmoi (Yongkhao Village)”. As a result, the Government of India (GoI) has directed ‘Col’ Isak Sumi to “vacate the ceasefire office in Dimapur and to submit all government properties.”

India on September 15, described Pakistan as an "epicenter of terrorism" and said no one deserves unsolicited lecture on human rights from Islamabad that has consistently persecuted its ethnic and religious minorities including Hindus, Sikhs and Christians, reports NDTV. Exercising the Right of Reply to the statements made by Pakistan at the 45th session of Human Rights Council (HRC), the Indian representative, on the plight of people in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh, said, "Not a single day has gone by when a family in Balochistan doesn't find its members picked up or kidnapped by the security forces of Pakistan." India also rejected the reference made by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India. "The OIC has no locus standi to comment on internal affairs of India. The OIC has allowed itself to be misused by Pakistan to subverse its own Agenda. It's for the members of the OIC to decide if it is in their interests to allow Pakistan to do so," the Indian representative said. India also advised Turkey to refrain from commenting on its internal affairs and develop a better understanding of the democratic practices.

The Border Security Force (BSF) on September 20 foiled an infiltration attempt from Pakistan along the International Border (IB) in Arnia Sector of Jammu District of Jammu and Kashmir, reports Dily Excelsior. Inspector General of BSF, Jammu frontier, N S Jamwal said an attempt to smuggle the narcotics and weapons was scuttled by BSF personnel of Budhwar and Bullechak border outposts in Arnia area at around 2am [IST], leading to the recovery of 62 packets of heroin — each packet weighing one kilogram, two Chinese pistols with three magazines and 100 rounds. The IG BSF said, “We were alert to the threat and around 2 am, a group of persons were noticed on the Pakistani territory and two to three of them came closer to the border fence to sneak into this side but were challenged by the BSF personnel,” adding they opened fire but retreated to Pakistani side taking advantage of darkness and thick foliage, when the BSF retaliated, leaving behind the consignment of drugs and weapons. Jamwal also said it is for the first time that PVC pipe was used to hide the narcotics to facilitate its smuggling into the Union Territory. “The terror infrastructure (in Pakistan) is intact as is evident from the increased activities like attempts to smuggle weapons and narcotics and firing incidents on the borders,” he also said. “Though it is for the first time in J&K but such type of modus operandi is in the knowledge of BSF which has successfully foiled similar attempts in Punjab over the years,” he said. The consignment was worth around INR 300 crore in the international market. Senior Superintendent of Police, Jammu, Sridhar Patil said, “We see it as narco-terrorism supported by Pakistan. We have successfully foiled a number of attempts of narcotic smuggling from Pakistan over the past two years.”

Pakistan has used terrorist groups to change the status quo in Jammu and Kashmir, which has undermined every peace effort and impacted human rights negatively, says a US thinktank member, reports Times of India. In a statement to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and Nonproliferation, Alyssa Ayres, senior fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations thinktank, on September 21 said the situation is complex and tragic in Kashmir. There is documented history of Pakistan-based terrorists active in Indian-administered Kashmir, and Kashmiris and the Indian government continue to face a difficult challenge of border security and terrorism in this region, Aryes said. "Terrorism has undermined every effort at peace in the last two decades and continues to create insecurity. I would also like to acknowledge the longstanding suffering of the Kashmiri Pandits, a Hindu community driven from their Kashmiri homeland in the early years of the insurgency at the beginning of the 1990s,” she added. Ayres said the Indian government revoked Article 370 in August 2019 to tackle terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. “More than a year on, it is hard to see improvements on that front,” she said.

The SFJ has included farmers of Haryana also because we consider Haryana as part of Khalistan.”

Following the arrest of six suspected al-Qaeda operatives in Murshidabad District on September 19, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said it believes that Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) may have played a role in helping al-Qaeda spread its influence in the region, Indian Express reports on September 23.

According to data released by Chhattisgarh Police, at least 34 civilians have been killed by Maoists in the State in the first nine months of 2020, reports Indian Express on September 24. In 2019, 46 civilians had been killed. Police officials claim Maoists are acting out of desperation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Bastar Inspector General (IG) Sundarraj Patilingam said that since the Covid-19 lockdown in March, the police have increased their outreach and thus Maoists are lashing out. “They are acting out because several cadres have surrendered. Despite adverse conditions, district authorities and the police have helped and led to the development of villages, building trust between villagers and the authorities. This is disconcerting for them, so they are trying to terrorize villagers,” the IG said.
