The coastline of Gujarat has emerged as an international drug smuggling transit hub in the last two years where contraband worth as much as INR 7,000 crore have been seized in five different incidents, reports The Times of India on August 2. Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) DIG (Deputy Inspector General) Himanshu Shukla said that, “Increased deterrence on Punjab border and cancellation of LoC (Line of Control) trade with Pakistan have led to an increase in narcotics smuggling using the Gujarat coast.” Gujarat has turned into a hotbed for smuggling activity after a long time. In the eighties and nineties, the sea routes close to Okha, Salaya, Tuna and Mandvi were used to smuggle gold, electronic goods and even explosives. The Gujarat ATS has intercepted and seized contraband from these same routes, said sources. “There is increased surveillance by United States (US) under Combined Task Force-150 in Gulf of Hormuz. Also, there is strong deterrence by Sri Lankan Navy which shoots smugglers on sight. These, along with the break-up of the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) smuggling network have increased the attempts of smuggling using the Gujarat route recently,” sources added. Among other reasons, the Gujarat ATS has found increased demand for drugs expected from some football fans at the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2022 at Doha, Qatar, to be spurring drug smuggling through Gujarat’s coastal waters. ATS is of the view that they are trying to use India as a transit route to West Asia that will be hosting the FIFA event for the first time.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on August 1 said it has attached assets worth INR 17.3 million of Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Watali in connection with a terror funding and money laundering case, reports Daily Excelsior. It said a provisional order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act for attachment of INR 14.8 million worth immovable properties of Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali’s family and INR 2.5 million of his deposits in a Jammu and Kashmir Bank branch in New Delhi. The businessman is being probed for his alleged terror links with banned Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its ‘chief’ Hafiz Sayed, by both the ED and the National Investigation Agency (NIA). “Watali has been found to be involved in fund raising and as a financial conduit of Hurriyat leaders,” the ED had said earlier. “The document clearly indicates that Watali was receiving money from Hafiz Saeed (LeT and Jamaat-Ud-Dawa chief), from ISI, from the Pakistan High Commission at New Delhi and also from a source based in Dubai,” it said. Watali is lodged in the Tihar jail at present in connection with the NIA case.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), on August 2, said the deployment of paramilitary forces in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) was based on the security situation there and requirements of rotation, and that such things are not discussed in the public domain, reports The Times of India. Over 280 companies of Security Forces (SFs) are in the process of being deployed in the Kashmir valley, official sources said. "Based on the assessment of the internal security situation, training requirements, the need for paramilitary troops to be rotated for rest and recuperation, induction and de-induction of central forces is a continuous and dynamic process," the sources said.

The Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament) on August 2 passed the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) Amendment Bill after days of deadlock between the Government and opposition parties over the controversial legislation, reports India Today. Out of the total members who voted, 147 MPs (Member of Parliament) were in favour of passing the new changes to the anti-terror bill while 42 voted against it. One of the contentious parts among the amendments is that it will give the Government power to declare any individual as a terrorist. Earlier, the Union Home Minister (UHM) Amit Shah responded to concerns Opposition had raised with regards to the bill. Shah said that the sole purpose of the UAPA Amendment Bill is to fight terror and it has no other ulterior motive. "This (UAPA) Act is to fight terror and has no other purpose," he said. The Home Minister also said that it is important to identify terrorists individually and not just terror organisations.

The Supreme Court (SC) on August 2 upheld the conviction of a woman, Yasmeen Mohammed Zahid, a native of Bihar, who was found to have joined the Islamic State (IS) along with a group of Kerala youth, on the counts of criminal conspiracy and association with a banned terror outfit with intention to further its activities, reports The Hindu. However, SC Bench disagreed with the Centre that the young woman, waged war or attempted/abetted war against the government of any Asiatic power in alliance with or at peace with the government of India. The court further found that she was not guilty, as the Centre claimed, of raising funds for the IS or garnering support for the terror outfit by arranging and managing meetings to encourage support for the outfit. Yet, the SC found her guilty of association (with IS ideology), saying she had attended classes propagating its ideology by her husband. According to a complaint received by the local Police in Kerala in July 2016, Yasmeen, who was staying at Kasaragod District of Kerala, had first left India with 14 others, including her husband to join the IS. She was the only one to stand trial among them. The SC for National Investigation Agency (NIA) cases, in March 2018, found her guilty for offences charged under the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

With the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) issuing a notification on August 2, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will now be able to investigate acts against Indians and Indian interests abroad, reports The Asian Age. The notification comes after Parliament cleared amendments to the NIA Act to give additional powers to the agency that also allow it to probe cases of human trafficking and cybercrime. The UMHA notification states, “In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (2) of section 1 of the National Investigation Agency (Amendment) Act, 2019 (16 of 2019), the Central government hereby appoints the 2nd August, 2019, as the date on which the provisions of the said Act shall come into force.” Following these changes in the Act, the NIA will now be able to investigate terror attacks on Indians and their interests abroad apart from cases of human trafficking, counterfeit currency, manufacture or sale of prohibited arms, cyber-terrorism, and offences under the Explosive Substances Act, 1908.

The recent seizures of over 1,100 kg of heroin in the Indian subcontinent have left the investigating agencies worried about a spurt in the activities of Pakistan-based drug-trafficking syndicates in the region, reports The Hindu on August 5. The seized heroin is suspected to be of Afghanistan origin. An enforcement agency official said that, “Three routes are traditionally used for global distribution of Afghan heroin: the Balkans, Central Asian countries and the Indian subcontinent. Since 2015, there has been a decline in seizures on the Balkans and Central Asian routes. However, they have of late increased in the subcontinent”. The recent inland seizures have also pointed to the role of Pakistan-based syndicates, the official said. A case in point is the seizure by the Customs at the Attari Integrated Check Post (ICP) in Amritsar District of Punjab in June of 532 kg of heroin and 52 kg of other drugs. They had been declared rock salt. The alleged kingpin, Tariq Ahmed Lone of Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested, along with importer Gurpinder Singh. “The consignment was booked in the name of Global Vision Impex, a front for Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in Lahore,” the official said. The seizure came a couple of months after India suspended cross-border trade through Kashmir as the route was being used to push in drugs and weapons. In several cases, the agencies have come across evidence of drug money being used to fund terror activities.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on August 6 defended India's decision to remove Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying it is an internal matter of New Delhi and is aimed at ‘reducing regional disparity and improving efficiency’, reports The Times of India. The UAE ambassador to India, Dr Ahmad Al Banna stated that, “The reorganisation of states is not a unique incident in the history of independent India & that it was mainly aimed at reducing regional disparity and improving efficiency.

After Pakistan downgraded its ties with India and cancelled the operation of Samjhauta Express train service, India on August 8 termed these moves as an attempt to present an alarming picture to the world about relations between the two countries, reports The Pioneer. Urging Islamabad to review its decision, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the Constitution was, is and will always be a sovereign matter and asserted that the recent developments pertaining to Article 370 are entirely India’s internal affair. The MEA said Pakistan’s perception of India’s developmental move is not surprising as Islamabad has utilised such sentiments to justify sponsorship of its cross-border terrorism against India.

In a bid to spread its drugs empire, Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company is learnt to have entered into a partnership with Afghan drug lord Haji Lal Jan Ishaqzai, Zee News reports on August 12. According to Indian intelligence agencies, D-Company has already established ground networks in Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Ghana from where it hopes to carry out operations. With the increasing threat from drug traffickers, Indian security agencies have been working overtime to blunt the massive threat posed. D-Company, looking at generating capital through illegal - but lucrative - heroin trade, has taken the help of Ishaqzai to execute their nefarious plans of pumping narcotics in India and elsewhere. Indian intelligence agencies suspect that Dawood may have contacted Pakistan's Inter-State Services (ISI) to extend cover to Ishaqzai in return for his support in D-Company's drugs trade. Ishaqzai has contacts in Asia and Europe and it is this that may have already been exploited by D-Company. It is through this that D-Company may have also smuggled drugs into India via the Afghan-Pakistan route. It is suspected that drugs are hidden among or inside fruits which are then either smuggled into India via the Wagah-Attari border or through jute bags which are brought in via the sea route and into Gujarat and Mumbai.

Even as vigil along Odisha coast has been intensified by the Indian Coast Guard, Navy and Police following intelligence inputs of possible entry of anti-nationals following the scrapping of Article 370, coastal security in Jagatsinghpur District are in shambles, New Indian Express reports on August 13. Coastal security system has been affected by shortage of manpower, interceptor boats, infrastructure, arms and ammunition, electronic gadgets and adequate training to marine police personnel. The District has three marine Police Stations and none are well-equipped to effectively ensure security of the coastline. Jagatsinghpur SP in-charge Biswanath Mishra said despite staff crunch and shortage of boats in the marine police stations, security has been tightened along the coast to thwart possible influx of illegal immigrants through sea. “The marine police are on high alert and patrolling has been beefed up in coordination with the Coast Guard and CISF to keep a vigil on suspicious movement of vessels,” he said. A three-tier patrolling system has been put in place to secure the coast of Odisha. While the Indian Navy patrols the high seas and carries out aerial reconnaissance with vessel-based aircraft, the intermediate layer comprising the Exclusive Economic Zone (between 12 and 200 nautical miles) is taken care of the Coast Guard. The territorial waters are patrolled by joint patrolling teams comprising personnel drawn from the Customs and State Marine Police.

Security agencies have foiled major terror attacks in three cities, which was being planned on the messaging app, Telegram, India Today reports on August 13. A youth was picked up from Delhi, who was part of the conversation. "We got vital information about terrorists trying to enter India, who were posing as Afghanistan students. Preventive measures were taken by roping in other agencies and the planning was foiled," said a source. According to the officials, Islamic State (IS) terrorists along with their sympathisers in Afghanistan and India were planning to carry out terror activities across India, for which they have been provoking Muslim youths through different Telegram groups. Agencies have tracked as many as five such Telegram groups on which the terrorist were carrying out their planning. After a detailed investigation, it was revealed that IS had made 'Operation Green Birds' where they wanted to attack three cities ahead of the Independence Day. "They want to create unrest in the country. We have busted five groups on which planning was being hatched for bomb blasts in India. These groups have been flooded with hate messages against India," said a source in the central agency. The officer added that they intercepted the messages that attacks were planned on August 13 at a railway station in South Delhi, or to plant a bomb inside a train that would start from Nizamuddin Railway Station. To carry out these attacks, the youths were being trained to make bombs with the help of IED and train to trigger it through a cell phone. "As per their planning, B-1 Coach of Rajdhani Express was on their hit target. But our timely action has foiled their plan," the source added.

Intelligence inputs suggest that in the wake of abrogation of Article 370, Pakistan has directed terrorist organisations to keep a low profile for now and confine themselves to inciting violence through civil unrest without taking direct part in protests, reports Daily Pioneer on August 14. According to sources, with international power and media keeping close tabs on development in Kashmir and Indian Security Forces (SFs) on high alert, Pakistan can’t take the risk of being caught red handed while sending jihadi elements into the Valley. Apart from strategizing unrest, the Pakistani establishment has also asked its rogue elements to go for snatching weapons from vulnerable posts and patrol teams and make local youths accountable for such incidents. The local terrorist cadre have been instructed to use phones only after Internet is restored to avoid detection. Sources in the security establishment said that latest intelligence reports indicate Pakistan has directed terrorist organisations to incite passions leading to massive protests.

Times of India reports on August 17 that no work has been carried out in the Pakistan portion of Kartarpur Corridor for six consecutive days. This has triggered speculation about Islamabad’s intent regarding the completion of the project. It also has coincided with Pakistan’s downgrading of diplomatic ties with India. Sources stated that “Earlier we had assumed that due to Eid they didn’t carry out work on August 11 and 12. Then it was Pakistan’s Independence Day on August 14. But it’s surprising that no construction activity was visible on their side either on August 15 and 16.” Earlier on August 8, Pakistan had stated that ‘’ Notwithstanding the latest developments, Pakistan’s Kartarpur initiative shall continue.

Even though hundreds of protesters were bused into Toronto by pro-Pakistan and Khalistani groups as the city hosted its India Day Parade on August 18, an efficient and visible police presence at the venue prevented violence at the venue, barring minor scuffles, reports Hindustan Times. Over a thousand protesters, many bused in from various parts of the Greater Toronto Area or GTA, arrived at the venue, Nathan Philips Square, but were prevented from causing any disturbance within the area and were restricted to the periphery by Toronto Police. The India Day Parade is the signature celebration in Canada marking Independence, and attracts nearly 50,000 visitors each year. This year, though, Indian officials were concerned as Kashmir separatists joined hands with Khalistanis to protest the abrogation of Article 370 by Parliament.

India’s west coast is reportedly the new ‘favourite’ for Pakistan-based drug cartels to traffic drugs to Europe, Canada, and the United States, vice.com reports on August 19. The 1,600-kilometre coastline of the state of Gujarat is the key location to smuggle drugs because of its vast expanse covered with hundreds of unmanned jetties. In fact, since July 2018, Indian agencies have seized over 2,200 kilogram of heroin in Gujarat’s coast, worth more than INR 60 billion, all attributed to Pakistan and Afghanistan-based drug cartels. Gujarat reportedly became a preferred spot because other traditional routes, such as the one around Iran, shut down after international authorities tightened vigilance. Earlier, the drug cartels chose what they call the ‘Golden Crescent’—referring to Asia’s two key opium-producing regions, which overlap Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan—to traffic drugs to the West. But this has now come under a close watch from maritime task forces of countries such as the US and Australia. This has been leading to Pakistani cartels increasingly looking to India as a trade route. Reports also point out that the plentiful opium crop harvest of approximately 10,000 tons in Afghanistan this year (2019) the highest over the last few years, may have accelerated the drug trafficking cases. “We only know about the large seizures,” said a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) official.

The Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh on August 18 declared that there will be no talks with Pakistan till it acts against terrorism and if talks with the neighbouring country are held in future, they would be only on Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), reports Daily Excelsior. In a series of tweets and address to a rally at Kalka in Haryana, Rajnath said, “Some people say talks should be held with Pakistan but till it ends terrorism there will be no talks. And in future, if talks are held with Pakistan, they will be on PoK only’’. “About what should we talk? What’s the issue on which there should be talks? Why there should be a talk? If there would be any talk with Pakistan, it would happen only when Pakistan stops supporting terror from its soil,” he asserted. The Defence Minister said Pakistan Prime Minister (Imran Khan) has acknowledged Indian action in Balakote post-Pulwama terror attack. “Few days ago, the Prime Minister of Pakistan said that India is planning to take an action bigger than Balakote. It means that Pakistan Prime Minister has acknowledged what India did in Balakote,’’ Rajnath said.

Union Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar has criticised Pakistan for using terrorism as a diplomatic tool against India, adding that it is a very unique phenomenon, Zee News reports on August 28. Jaishankar also hit out at Pakistan for using terror as a state policy and a country that has been obstructing trade and connectivity in the region. Speaking in Moscow, Russia, he said, "Problem with Pakistan is very different. I would say if today you look at international relations, I cannot think of any other country in the world, which uses terrorism as a diplomatic tool against its neighbour. It is a very unique phenomenon." He highlighted how Islamabad refused to grant the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India despite New Delhi granting it. Pakistan has also been hindering the connectivity between India and Afghanistan, he said. Jaishankar added that to increase connectivity, India and Afghanistan started the air corridor which has been expanded to many cities of both the countries. "So if you have a neighbour who will not trade with you normally, who would not allow connectivity, use terrorism as a means of pressurising you, it's not a normal thing. We have some unique problem out there. We will find ways to deal with," he added.
