A 12-member Pashtun jirga (council of tribal elders) wrapped up another round of talks with leaders of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Kabul on August 1, reports Dawn. Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, who led the tribal elders, dispelled the impression of a deadlock in the talks and told Dawn that the three-day talks were held in a “conducive environment” in which both sides addressed each other's reservations. “The negotiations did not fail but are continuing. Failure and success will be judged when the process reaches an end," he said, clarifying that the talks would fail when either side decides to halt the process. "But this is not the case," he added. “We had interactions with the TTP and the officials of the Islamic Emirate. We met the TTP separately and also together with the officials of the Islamic Emirate,” he added further. Barrister Saif, however, declined to share further details of the meetings, adding that the negotiations were underway "smoothly".

Security has been heightened at all Railway Stations across Punjab in wake of recent threats from Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the founder of banned terror outfit, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), ahead of Independence Day on August 15, reports Hindustan Times on August 13. An Assistant Inspector General (AIG)-level meeting was held by Government Railway Police (GRP) on August 11 with regards to security arrangements at railway stations. AIG GRP Harmeet Hundal issued directions to all officials to keep strict vigil and patrol the railway tracks and key areas under the railways’ jurisdiction. These directions have been issued after a video of National Flag being burnt on tracks in Manawala near Amritsar came to fore recently. Pannun had threatened to take off National Flags installed at railway stations and Government offices and hoist Khalistani flags. “Jalandhar, Amritsar and Ludhiana are the most vulnerable places as National Flags are installed here and moreover these are among the busiest railway stations in Punjab,” said a senior Police officer, privy to the development. According to Police officials, Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has also threatened to kidnap prominent politicians and Police officers of the State.

The Supreme Court, on August 12, agreed to examine an appeal filed by the Kerala Government challenging an order of the Kerala High Court which quashed charges under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) against a member of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) as the sanction granted for his prosecution was delayed, reports Devdiscourse. A bench of Justices M R Shah and B V Nagarathna issued notice to the accused -- Roopesh -- on the appeal filed by the State Government. ''Issue notice,'' the bench said while posting the matter for hearing on September 19. The Kerala Government had moved the High Court challenging the March 17, 2022 order of the high court which held that the time limit prescribed under the UAPA for sanction is ''mandatory and sacrosanct'' while quashing three cases -- of sedition and for being part of a banned organisation -- against a member of the CPI-Maoist as the sanction for prosecution was delayed. The High Court had said the sanction for prosecution under the UAPA was given six months after receiving a recommendation for the same and it was also ''bereft of any application of mind''. It had also said that there was no application of mind even concerning the sanction granted for the prosecution of the accused for the offence of sedition under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The order by the High Court came on a criminal revision petition moved by the accused -- Roopesh -- challenging a Special Court's order rejecting his pleas for discharge on the ground that the sanction was delayed. In the instant case, the high court had said the sanction under the UAPA was granted after six months from the date of receipt of the recommendation of the authority and was, therefore, not valid. Maoist leader Roopesh, head of Western Ghats Zonal Committee (WGZC) of CPI-Maoist, and four others, including his wife Shyna, were arrested near Karumathampatti in Coimbatore in May 4, 2015.

A Pakistani terrorist succumbed to injuries he suffered after he attacked a Police team and wounded a Police official during a weapon recovery operation in Arnia sector near the International Border at Phallian Mandal area of Jammu District in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on August 17, reports Greater Kashmir. “In a case registered under FIR number 12 of 2022 of February 24, 2022 at police station Arnia with regard to drone dropping from Pakistan and subsequent recoveries of arms and ammunitions, one accused from Jammu made revelations that a Pakistani prisoner/handler by the name of Mohammed Ali Hussain (Pakistani terrorist) has been instrumental in drone droppings and is the main operative of LeT and Al-Badr,” ADGP Jammu Mukesh Singh said, in an official statement. Accordingly, he was brought before the court on production from Kot Bhalwal jail and subsequently police remand was taken.

ADGP Mukesh Singh said, “When the packet was being opened, the accused attacked one of the police officials and snatched his service rifle.

In retaliatory action, the accused got injured and was shifted to GMC Jammu along with an injured police official.” The injured terrorist later succumbed to his injuries, he added.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on August 18 warned ‘secular’ and nationalist groups to stop levelling allegations against the outfit, reports Dawn. In a statement issued in Peshawar, TTP said that some pro-western groups were frustrated as situation in Pakistan showed signs of improvement owing to its peace talks with the Government. “These people do not want Pakistan to be peaceful and prosperous. That’s why these groups are trying to create an impression from different platforms that Taliban are being brought to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including the merged Districts, under the garb of negotiations,” said the statement. It said that TTP had reiterated its stance on many occasions that it wanted real peace in the country. It added that TTP was neither anti-state nor was it working for anti-Pakistan powers. TTP said it’s neither anti-state nor working for anti-Pakistan powers and it doesn’t want to clash with any religious or political party. It warned liberal, secular and nationalist groups to refrain from making baseless propaganda and levelling allegations against it. It added that those parties, keeping under consideration its policies, should not choose the path of confrontation. “These parties suffered losses in the past because of their wrong policies,” it claimed.

Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) lawmaker Gokul Prasad Baskota, on August 18, has drawn the attention of parliament not to make citizenship cheap, reports My Republica. Speaking at the meeting of the House of Representatives on August 18, Baskota mentioned that in most countries of the world there is no such thing as making citizenship cheap, but he said that there is a need to have a serious discussion on the issue of citizenship after learning from the neighboring countries. He also said that it was wrong to bring the Citizenship Bill in haste. He said that as a trap for the coalition of the ruling parties, the Citizenship Bill should not be crushed and the country should not be divided. CPN-UML lawmaker Baskota said that there is no point in giving citizenship based on region, race and gender. Also, CPN-UML lawmaker Padam Giri has said that the ruling coalition has played the game of sinking the country by issuing the controversial Citizenship Bill. Further, CPN-UML lawmaker Bhim Bahadur Rawal has said that the President has fulfilled her constitutional duty to protect the nation by sending the Citizenship Bill back to parliament, adding that issues like citizenship cannot be announced by the ruling alliance. But he said that everyone agreed that those who are in fact Nepalis should get citizenship.

The House of Representatives (HoR), on August 18, has endorsed the Citizenship Amendment Bill sent back to parliament earlier by President Bidya Devi Bhandari along with her suggestions, reports My Republica. During a voting held in parliament on August 18, a total of 135 voted in favor of endorsing the Amendment Bill in its current form, while 60 lawmakers belonging to the main opposition party, Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML), voted against the Amendment Bill. Only 195 lawmakers were present in the HoR meeting on August 18. Lawmakers had deliberated on the amendment bill at Thursday's (August 18) meeting of parliament. While lawmakers belonging to the ruling coalition argued that the Amendment Bill should be endorsed without any further delay as children of those receiving citizenship certificates by birth were denied citizenship certificates, the lawmakers belonging to the opposition parties suggested forwarding the Bill to the thematic committee of parliament to arrive at consensus on contentious provisions in the Bill. Responding to the queries of lawmakers, Home Minister Bal Krishna Khand said that the failure of parliament to endorse the Amendment Bill would deprive citizenship certificates to around 700,000 children of those receiving citizenship certificates by birth earlier in Nepal. He also urged all lawmakers to help endorse the Bill to help them avoid rendering ‘Stateless’. Leaders belonging to the ruling parties said the Bill will be sent again to President Bhandari for authentication after it is endorsed again by the National Assembly.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is trying to retrieve its lost ground in Telangana, reports The New Indian Express on August 21. According to intelligence reports, there is a perceptible increase in the activity of the Maoists in the Bhadrachalam Agency area as well as in the Mulugu and Jayashankar Bhupalpally Districts in recent days. CPI-Maoist party ‘secretary’ Kankanala Raji Reddy has taken the responsibility of strengthening the party’s cadres. Bhadradri Kothagudem and Mulugu District Police have noticed the movements of Maoists and found some items including essential commodities and tents in the forest area in both the Districts yesterday (August 20) which were suspected to have been left behind by the ultras. The Intelligence Department has reportedly warned the Police of the heightened activity of the Maoists. They sent a report to them that about 10 Maoists were moving in Mulugu and Gundala of the Bhadradri Kothagudem forest area for the last few months. In fact, the input jolted the Police out of their reverie that due to their crackdown, the activity of the Maoists has come down in Telangana. According to sources, during the Maoist martyrs’ week celebrations which were held from July 28 to August 3, the Maoist leadership convened a meeting and reportedly focused on increasing the party’s footprint in Bhadradri Kothagudem, Mulugu, and Jayashankar Bhupalpally Districts as they are very close to Chhattisgarh where Maoists have a strong presence. The sources said that the Maoists cross Godavari River between Venkatapuram of Mulugu District and Cherla of Bhadradri Kothagudem Districts and enter Bhupalpally and Mulugu Districts from Chhattisgarh State.

The Chhattisgarh CM, according to the release, said that improved coordination between State Police and Central Forces has expedited anti-Maoist operations and development in these areas, which has increased people's confidence in the Government. He also said that the setting up of Police camps in core areas to curb the menace has helped in providing facilities such as road infrastructure, culverts, schools, electricity and Public Distribution Stores (PDS) in the interiors of Jagargunda, Kistaram and Bheji (Sukma District), Pamed, Basaguda and Tarrem (Bijapur). The CM also announced the reopening of the Palli (Narayanpur)-Barsoor (Dantewada) state highway number 5, which links Narayanpur, Kondagaon and Bastar.

Army on August 26 said that Pakistan is desperate and frustrated and will try to infiltrate militants and send in arms and ammunition into Kashmir despite a robust anti-infiltration grid in place, reports Daily Excelsior. General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the Army’s 19th Infantry Division Major General Ajay Chandpuri told reporters during a press conference in Baramulla that Pakistan is desperate and frustrated, and will continue to try to infiltrate militants and send in arms and ammunition despite a robust anti-infiltration grid in place. “The LoC is over 740 km which includes very difficult terrain and then there were spells of inclement weather. So, despite the vigilance, there are gaps from where they try and infiltrate terrorists and war-like stores,” he said. Major General Chandpuri said based on multiple inputs “there were close to 100-120 terrorists attempting to infiltrate and present in 15-20 launch pads which are close to the LoC”, opposite this sector alone. He said that despite ceasefire holding, attempts to infiltrate militants into Kashmir are on. “So, while the ceasefire understanding is largely holding good for the benefit of the people on the both sides, the presence of terrorists on the launch pads and their continuous attempts to infiltrate are on,” he added.

The national security agencies are on high alert as Islamic State (IS) and Al Qaida are trying to radicalise Muslims within and outside India to target the country in the name of blasphemy, Hindustan Times reports on August 27. The security agencies are not alone in this effort as other friendly countries like US, Jordan, Russia, UAE, and Saudi Arabia are sharing footprints of Islamic radicalisation in cyber-space and encrypted communications with New Delhi to prevent any untoward incident in hinterland India. Investigations into the detention of Islamic State suicide bomber Mashrabkon Azamov by Russian Federal Security Service, or FSB, has revealed that there was one more Kyrgyzstan national who was trained to target India by Islamists in Turkey along with the detained Uzbek national. It is learnt that the Kyrgyz national returned to his country from Moscow, which was the route to India being used by the two attackers. While the plan to attack India was foiled by the Russian agency, the Jordanian intelligence alerted their Indian counterparts towards the online radicalisation of engineering student Meer Anaas Ali, resident of Ambur Town in Tamil Nadu, by IS. The third-year engineering student was being brainwashed to punish India for insulting the Prophet. The student was arrested on July 31 by the Tamil Nadu Police and is currently remanded in judicial custody.

The Adilabad Police have sounded a high alert following credible information about a group of 15 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) entering the district forest area, reports The Hans India on August 29. Following this development, teams of Police have fanned and combing operations have been taken up in Adilabad, Komaram Bheem and Nirmal district forest areas. The Police are taking no chance as the information received points that the group of Maoists belonging to Bhaskar Dalam (armed squad) entered the forest areas. The Bhaskar alias Mylarapu Adellu escaped from the Police on an earlier occasion. This has further made the Police leave no stone unturned sounding a high alert to take on the Maoists. According to the Adilabad Police, each of the members of the Bhaskar Dalam has a prize on their head from INR 500,000 to INR 2 million. The entry of the Dalam is suspected to be meant to conduct new recruitments into its fold from the local people. While launching the combing operations, the Police warned the people not to extend their support to the Maoists including offering food to them. Meanwhile, the Maoists have released a letter on the ensuing Munugodu bypoll alleging that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are working to protect their own political interests. The letter charged that the saffron party has been creating religious rifts among people with the sole objective to win the Munugodu bypoll.

The five-party ruling alliance, which said earlier that they will decide on the seat distribution in the third week of August and start selecting their candidates, have failed to prepare a proposal on the number of seats that are being allocated to each party as of Sunday (August 28) evening.

Ramshahyay Yadav, a member of the Task Force and leader of the Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP), said "We will inform the top leaders about the issues that have been raised so far at the Task Force level. If the number of seats in the House of Representatives is decided first, it will be easy to agree on the number for the provincial assembly. We will request the same from the top leaders.”
