Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on September 3 said in Hyderabad (Telangana) that terrorism is the biggest enemy of mankind and the biggest danger to the world peace, reports Daily Excelsior. He stressed on the need for international community to come together and curb it mercilessly. Naidu said India in later years and particularly after the September 11 (2001, US) attacks put considerable effort in fighting international terrorism. “Several conventions resulted from the efforts exerted under the auspices of the United Nations [UN]. Mention may be made in this connection of the SAARC convention on the suppression of international terrorism as well as the Indian proposal to conclude a comprehensive convention on suppression of international terrorism now under consideration of the UN,” he said. “…That’s the need of the hour…The biggest danger to the world peace is from terror. Terror has no religion, it has no colour and it has no sex. But, unfortunately some people are trying to mix terror and religion for their own narrow political and partisan ends.

For the first time, Pakistan-based terror groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were named on September 4 for causing violence in the region by the BRICS [Brazil, Russia, India, China And South Africa] Summit that also asserted that those responsible for committing, organising or supporting terror acts must be held accountable, reports Daily Excelsior. In a significant diplomatic win for India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was joined by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazilian President Michael Temer and South African President Jacob Zuma in strongly denouncing terror activities of such groups, as they expressed determination to collectively fight the scourge. The 43-page ‘Xiamen Declaration’, adopted at the end of the five-nation BRICS plenary, stressed on the need for immediate cessation of violence in Afghanistan. It expressed “concern” over the security situation in the region and the violence caused by the Taliban, ISIS [Islamic State], al Qaeda and its affiliates including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Hizb ut-Tahrir. Significantly, the ETIM is active in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China and seeks to establish a separate “East Turkistan”. At the ninth Summit of the grouping, the BRICS leaders also condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations wherever committed and by whomsoever. They stressed that there can be no justification whatsoever for any act of terrorism. “We reaffirm that those responsible for committing, organising, or supporting terrorist acts must be held accountable,” the statement said.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) has shared details with Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) of four terror probes where cadres of Popular Front of India (PFI) and its political arm Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) were chargesheeted or convicted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act-UAPA, The Times of India reports on September 8. The four cases related to chopping of a professor's palm in Kerala's Idukki District; holding of a training camp in Kannur from where NIA allegedly seized swords, country-made bombs and ingredients for making IEDs; murder of RSS leader Rudresh in Bengaluru and the Islamic State- IS Al-Hindi module case in which attacks were plotted in south India.Based on its probe findings, NIA has claimed that PFI pursues a strategy aimed at communalising Indian polity, enforcing Taliban brand of Islam, heightening existing social divisions and maintaining a trained bank of volunteers for physical actions. "PFI had consistently been indulging in actions detrimental to overall national security," NIA said while blaming the outfit for seeking to impose religious orthodoxy on Muslims and using sister outfits like Sathya Sarani based in Malappuram to carry out "forceful conversions", with the most recent cases being that of Akhila Asokan and Athira Nambiar in which PFI women's wing chief Sainaba A S name figures.The dossier pointed out that many of PFI's founding leaders were associated with SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India) before it was banned. This includes former PFI chairman E M Abdurahiman, who was all-India general secretary of SIMI in 1980-81 and 1982-93, PFI national vice-chairman P Koya who was with SIMI in 1978-79 and SDPI president E Aboobacker who was Kerala state president of SIMI in 1982-84, among others.

The probe agency, in its written response to Wani’s bail plea, said the investigation in a decade-old money laundering case involving Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah was at a crucial stage and Wani may threaten witnesses and destroy evidence if enlarged on bail.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has told the Interpol that Zakir Naik is being targeted for terrorism and not because of his religion, oneindia.com reports on September 8. While sending out a detailed response to the Interpol, the NIA has said that evidence against Naik is strong and his acts violate the Indian law. Zakir Naik is under investigation for funding terror suspects, the NIA also said. The NIA pointed out that it had repeatedly sent out summons to Naik, but he has not once presented himself before the agency. The NIA also said that his passport had been revoked. Further the NIA also said that Naik's NGO Islamic Research Foundation-IRF had been banned by the Government and the same was upheld by the tribunal. He had funded a few terror suspects through his NGO and hence he needs to be questioned in that connection, the NIA also told the Interpol. The NIA requested the Interpol to help track Naik so that he could be deported to India.

The time has come to act and carry out a crackdown on it," an unnamed senior UMHA official said days after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) submitted a dossier to the ministry detailing four terror cases in which its PFI cadres have been chargesheeted or convicted under UAPA. The cases relate to chopping of a professor's hand in Idukki, Kerala; holding of a training camp in Kannur from where swords and country-made bombs were allegedly seized; murder of Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Rudresh in Bengaluru; and the Islamic State Al-Hindi Module case in which accused from Kerala and Tamil Nadu planned to hit targets in south India.

India will extend further assistance for the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces, the two countries announced after the 2nd round of their strategic partnership council meeting in New Delhi on September 12, The Times of India reports. Announcing the launch of a next generation New Development Partnership, India and Afghanistan also agreed to take up 116 High Impact Community Development Projects to be implemented in 31 provinces of Afghanistan, including in the areas of education, health, agriculture, irrigation, drinking water, renewable energy, flood control, micro-hydropower, sports infrastructure, administrative infrastructure.Addressing a joint press meet after co-chairing the meeting with Indian Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, Afghan foreign minister Salahuddin Rabbani said India and Afghanistan had agreed to strengthen security cooperation. "India has further agreed to provide assistance to Afghan national defence forces," he said. Afghanistan has long been pressing for greater Indian assistance in defence supplies and capacity building. He also asserted that his country's friendship with India does not mean hostility to any other country and added that it is not a zero-sum game. The Afghan leader noted that India and Afghanistan were victims of terrorism and violent extremism. He also spoke about terror acts by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) which were threatening the region's stability. "Noting that terrorism presented the greatest threat to peace, stability and progress of the region and beyond, they called for an end to all forms of support, state sponsorship, safe havens and sanctuaries to terrorists against Afghanistan,'' said a joint statement issued after the meeting. "It was agreed to strengthen security cooperation between the two countries. India agreed to extend further assistance for the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in fighting the scourge of terrorism, organized crime, trafficking of narcotics and money laundering,'' it added.

A chargesheet submitted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) stated that the Lucknow module of the Islamic State (IS) had Muslim scholars on its hit list, reports One India on September 18. Muslim scholars from the Shiva, Barelvi and Deobandi sects were on its hit list the NIA chargesheet stated. The NIA is probing the Ujjain-Bhopal train blast case in which the Lucknow module of the IS has been blamed. "Investigation has established that the accused IS persons conspired to carry out terrorist activities in India and planned for targeting Muslim scholars of other sects, Shia, Barelvi, Deobandi, within India." The chargesheet also reveals the module had several Sufi shrines, including Dewa Sharif in Barabanki, on its target. NIA said the module religiously followed the Wahabi doctrine of Sunni Islam that regards Muslims who do not agree with its interpretations as infidels or apostates. "The material recovered from their possession is not just sophisticated arms and ammunition or explosive substances. There are videos, photographs, literature and discourse recordings that suggest how badly they wanted to take on the scholars of the community who opposed the idea of Caliphate," the NIA further stated.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested one person, identified as Shakul Hameed, who had planned to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISISIS) as well as carry out attacks in Tami Nadu, from Chennai on September 18, reports The Times of India. NIA said that Hameed had hatched a conspiracy along with eight others in 2013, to further activities of ISIS in India. The agency had filed a case against this module from Tamil Nadu in January this year (2017). "Hameed and associates, with the intention of furthering the activities of the proscribed terrorist organisation Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)Daesh, had hatched a criminal conspiracy from 2013 onward and formed a terrorist gang which had raised and received funds, organised meetings, recruited and facilitated the travel of some persons to Syria to join the ISIS Daesh," said NIA in a statement. The probe has found that main accused Haja Fakkurudeen, a Singaporean citizen of Indian origin and a native of the Cuddalore District in Tamil Nadu, has already joined the ISIS in Syria in January, 2014, along with his family. Fakkurudeen had visited India twice between November, 2013 and January, 2014, when he had had conspiracy meetings along with coaccused Khaja Moideen, Shakul Hameed and others at various places in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with the intention of recruiting more people into the ISIS, NIA said. In pursuance of the conspiracy, Shakul Hameed had attempted to migrate to ISIScontrolled territory in Syria in August, 2015, through Turkey, where he was intercepted by Turkish authorities and deported to India, it added. He will be produced before the NIA special court in Chennai, the statement said.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) on September 18 stated that the Government has credible inputs that Rohingyas have links with terrorist groups and hawala channel operators while some of them were in-league with Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports Daily Excelsior. Describing Rohingyas as “serious security threat”, an affidavit filed by the UMHA Joint Secretary (Foreigners) Mukesh Mittal in the Supreme Court (SC) on behalf of the Home Ministry described Rohingyas as part of “bigger sinister designs” under which they were infiltrating into India illegally through agents and touts. The affidavit, said: “some of the Rohingyas with militant background are found to be very active in Jammu, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mewat and have been identified as having a very serious and potential threat to internal and national security of India”.The 16-page affidavit added: “it has been found by the Central Government that many Rohingyas figured in suspected sinister designs of ISI (a Pakistan’s spy agency which has been responsible for spreading terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country) and ISIS (an international terrorist outfit which was causing blasts in various countries) and other sinister groups, who want to achieve their ulterior motives in India including that of flaring up communal and sectarian violence in sensitive areas of the country”. Charging Rohingyas with mobilizing funds through hawala channels and procuring fake and fabricated Indian identity documents for other Rohingyas and also indulging in human trafficking, the UMHA’s affidavit said it has been observed by the Central Government that some Rohingyas are indulging in illegal and anti-national activities and were using their illegal network for illegal entry of others in India.

Farooq apparently claimed to be well aware of Rahman's links with al-Qaida and directed him to another D-Company operative, Rouf, who Rahman was supposed to contact after his release in April 2017, an officer disclosed. "Farooq told me to create an ID on Protective Text using which Rouf was to contact me upon my release. He said, 'Ek baar unse raabta ho jaaye to saare asle aasani se haasil ho jaayenge'. I made an ID (***2) and conveyed it to Farooq," Rahman told his interrogators. The Special Cell has confirmed the identity of Rouf and Farooq as associates of D-Company and is digging further into their roles.

Police said those arrested also have links with outlawed group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). One BKI suspect, identified as Harpreet Singh alias Jitendra Singh Tony was arrested from Mailani area in Lakhinmpur Kheri District on September 19. Another BKI suspect, Satnam Singh was arrested by the joint team of the ATS, Punjab and local Police from Sikanderpur area of the Lakhinmpur Kheri District on September 19. Sources said Police are close to busting a network of Sikh militants in the region, including from Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur and Lakhimpur Kheri. UP ATS Inspector General (IG) Asim Arun said, “One of the terror suspects, Balwant Singh, who was arrested in Lucknow led us to Jitendra Singh Toni who is wanted for supplying arms during the armed jailbreak in November last year.”According to Police officers involved in the investigations, Baba Babwant Singh, a resident of Naushehra Pannuan in Punjab’s Tarn Taran District, was held on September 16 from Lucknow, while Jaswant Singh alias Kala, a resident of Sonewala village in Punjab’s Muktsar Sahib district and a close aide of former BKI chief Jagtar Singh Hawara, was arrested from Unnao District the same day. Both were also wanted in several cases of targeted killings. Their interrogation led to more arrests from the region.Sources added that Harjinder Singh Khalon, a Sikh leader from Pilibhit, and his aide Amandeep, who is from Udham Singh Nagar, were arrested from Lucknow based on inputs provided by Baba Balwant Singh. Punjab ATS IG Vijay Pratap Singh confirmed the involvement of Harjinder Singh, Amandeep and one Sandeep Tiwari, who was arrested from Sultanpur, in the armed attack on Nabha jail on November 27, 2016. “The arrested accuseds were involved in the armed offensive during the Nabha jailbreak. We are also trying to trace one of the key conspirators of the jailbreak, Gopi, who was last seen on September 10 in Shahjahanpur but managed to flee,” Singh said. Soon after the jailbreak last year, west UP had come under the radar of Punjab Police and was dubbed as a safe haven for suspects linked to the banned outfit. Hours after the jailbreak, main conspirator Parvinder Singh was arrested from Shamli in Uttar Pradesh. At least 10 armed men had broken into the premises of the highsecurity Nabha jail and freed six men, including Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) terrorist Harminder Mintoo, on November 27

Dawood Ibrahimis presently in Pakistan, a senior Police officer has quoted his brother Iqbal Kaskar as saying. Kaskar has given some fourfive addresses used by Dawood in Pakistan, The Times of India reports on September 22. Pakistan consistently denies that the global terrorist is holed up there. Kaskar's claim backs up the dossier India has handed to Pakistan, listing over nine addresses of Dawood in Karachi and other cities. Kaskar is also understood to have told the investigators that Dawood has avoided speaking to him and other relatives in India for the past three years over fears of his phone being tapped.He has, however, claimed to be in touch with Anees Ahmad, another brother who helps Dawood run his crime empire, a couple of times in the past. Kaskar said Anees has called him from international numbers on his mobile phones on Eid and other occasions. "Kaskar is not cooperating in the investigations and is hardly speaking. But yes, he has admitted he was in touch with his elder brother Anees Ahmad, involved in the 1993 serial bomb blast," said an officer.

On terror funding, the minister said, "their weapons supply, training and political support must be systematically cut off". She did not name any country but the reference was clearly to Pakistan.

India on September 22 went hammer and tongs at Pakistan for its policy of sponsoring terrorism and said the country has now become "Terroristan", or a land of "pure terror", reports The Times of India. "Pakistan is now 'Terroristan', with a flourishing industry producing and exporting global terrorism," India said while exercising its 'right of reply' at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).Taking a dig at the prefix "Pak", which means "pure" in Urdu, India said Pakistan has long abandoned its aspirations to be moral and virtuous as a nation and instead, its name has become synonymous with terror."The quest for a land of pure has actually produced 'the land of pure terror'. In its short history, Pakistan has become a geography synonymous with terror," India's first secretary to the UN Eenam Gambhir said. Citing the example of Hafiz Saeed, a UN-designated terrorist who has floated a political party to contest the next general election in Pakistan, India underscored how the neighbouring country was providing safe havens to terror leaders in its military town or protecting them with political careers.Issuing another stern warning to Pakistan to refrain from interfering in Kashmir, India said it doesn't require lessons on democracy and human rights from a "failed state" where "terrorists thrive and roam the streets with impunity." "Pakistan must understand that the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is and will always remain an integral part of India. However much it scales up cross border terrorism, it will never succeed in undermining India's territorial integrity," Gambhir said.

According to the Thane Police, which arrested him, a diary recovered from Kaskar’s house after his arrest on September 18 had details of several angadias and hawala operators believed to be working for Dawood.

Former Mumbai CP Rakesh Maria said angadias and hawala operators are playing a vital role in moving black money from one place or country to another. “Most of the time, these people use bank accounts to move money,” Mr. Maria said.

India has urged the United Nations Security Council to ensure that the first and foremost duty of the international community is to ensure that the forces of terrorism and extremism do not find sanctuaries and safe havens anywhere and at any level, reports Times of India on September 26. "We must not differentiate between good and bad terrorists, or play one group against the other. The Taliban, Haqqani Network, al-Qaida, Daesh, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and others of their ilk are all terror organizations, many of them proscribed by the UN," said Syed Akbaruddin, India's Permanent Representative to the UN. "The international community cannot remain silent. It is the international community's first and foremost duty to ensure that the forces of terrorism and extremism do not find sanctuaries and safe havens anywhere and at any level," he said in an apparent dig at Pakistan.

Maharashtra AntiTerror Squad (ATS), in the past two years, deradicalised at least 70 people who were trapped in extremist literature online and were on the verge on being recruited, reports India Today on September 26. Cyber laboratory of ATS, which keeps a tab on all websites and URLs spreading radical propaganda, has blocked 450 such sites in the past oneandahalf years. A senior official from Maharashtra ATS said that Islamic State (ISIS)'s indoctrination is done by different people and there are multiple levels for it. "ISIS websites keep releasing extremist content and get in touch with youths who share its ideology. They use chat rooms and apps which are difficult to trace," said an official.The handlers look for weaknesses of the candidates and lure them accordingly. An official of the ATS gave an example of how they counselled a girl who was lured with photographs of men. "While changing handlers they claim that they are going to war zone. The second handler will show persecution of Muslims all over the world. Once the candidate is brainwashed, a third handler takes over who is specialised in South Asian countries. He speaks violence and clashes in India such as the Muzaffarnagar riots," an official said. The aim of the recruiters is to prepare candidates to attack locally, but they don't directly question them. "By the time the third handler radicalizes the recruit, he she asks of the expected task. They are asked to do Hijrath while saying Quran says Muslims should migrate wherever there is caliphate. The candidates are also supplied with books online to help them make improvised explosive devices (IED)," said an official.
