India works with regional state actors, the Afghan government, and Afghan power brokers to prevent transnational terrorist safe havens, and maintain access to Afghanistan as a gateway to Central Asian markets, said a Pentagon report released on July 1, reports businessworld.in. "The Indian government does not support the Taliban politically and continues to support the Afghan government. India has reiterated its support for an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned, and Afghan-controlled peace process," the report stated. The Pentagon report also notes that India traditionally had strong ties with Afghanistan and remains the largest regional donor to the country (USD 3 billion since 2001). "Indian aid to Afghanistan focuses primarily on four main categories: humanitarian assistance; major infrastructure projects; small and community-based projects; and education and capacity development," the report said while adding that a “significant deterioration of security conditions in Afghanistan, however, may adversely affect the ability of India to provide aid”.

Many of the extremists have now been languishing in jails or were killed in various anti-extremist operations. So they have no capability to occur big incident.”

Expressing serious concern over the abrupt decision to prorogue the ongoing Budget Session, the main opposition party, Nepali Congress (NC), on July 2 said that the latest move of the Government showed that it is not serious about addressing the difficult situation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, reports Republica. NC Spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma in a statement said “The dispute within the ruling party is one thing. But it is not only unfortunate but also objectionable to see the negative effects of the intra-party disputes within a political party in the house session. It was necessary for parliament as a whole to forge a common view and revise the strategies to move ahead in order to tackle the global pandemic of COVID-19 that has already taken the lives of many and infected thousands of others. But the government has shown sheer indifference toward that by taking the abrupt decision to prorogue house sessions.”

ARTICLE 19, a UK based human rights organisation which focuses on the defence and promotion of freedom of expression, in a press statement on July 3 said that Digital Security Act (DSA) is a big threat to democracy and rule of law, reports Dhaka Tribune. It expressed grave concern regarding the bizarre filing of cases and arrests under the DSA across the country, for merely manifesting views on social media. ARTICLE 19, has strongly condemned these arrests and at the same time called on the concerned authorities to release those arrested under DSA immediately and unconditionally, and to withdraw the whimsical cases against them. Earlier, in 2018, ARTICLE 19 recorded 71 cases filed against practitioners of freedom of expression, including journalists, under the then section 57 of the ICT Act, and then newly enacted DSA which came into effect in October of the year. In 2019, the number of recorded cases initiated under DSA was 63. However, in the first six months of 2020, 113 cases have been recorded of this kind. 208 people of different classes and professions have been accused in these cases due to mere expression of opinion, of which 53 are journalists. Of the accused, 114 were arrested immediately, most of whom are still awaiting bail.

The banned US-based pro-Khalistan outfit Sikh For Justice (SFJ) on July 4, launched its much-publicised online voter registration for ‘Referendum 2020’ for people in Punjab through a Russian portal, reports Outlook. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) had in July 2019, banned the SFJ for advocating Referendum 2020, an online campaign to demand Khalistan, which seeks a separate homeland for the Sikhs. As per the report, the SFJ launched the Referendum 2020 voter registration through the Russian website – www.punjabfree.ru, appealing to the people in Punjab and aged 18 or above from any religion as well as the Sikhs living anywhere else in India to register their votes for participation in the non-governmental ‘Punjab Independence Referendum’. Detailed information regarding the registration process was put up in English and Punjabi languages on the Russia-based website, which mentions three steps for registration of votes and the sign-up to receive updates about the Referendum 2020. Also, the SFJ has a ground-level plan to ensure that the voter registration form for Referendum 2020 reaches every household in Punjab, despite the Indian government's crackdown on the pro-Khalistan activists. The Indian government has been in touch with the authorities concerned as to ascertain how the SFJ used Russian cyberspace to launch the voter registration for Referendum 2020.

The Information Secretary of the Balochistan National Movement (BNM), Dilmurad Baloch, issued the monthly report on Balochistan for June on July 4, reports The Balochistan Post. The report details the human rights abuses – murder, enforced disappearances, theft, forced location, arson – committed in the previous month by the ‘Pakistani state’ in different areas of Balochistan. “Balochistan is under unannounced martial law; state jurisdiction is under military control. Political dissent is paid with confinement, death and barbarism”, the report said. It said that the baton charge and detainment of the students in a peaceful protest in Quetta is a travesty of political freedom. The students had only demanded internet facilities to participate in online classes, as the educational institutions were shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The report gives a detailed day by day account of the human rights abuses in Balochistan and concludes that 42 persons were detained in 70 military raids and operations throughout Balochistan and relocated to unknown locations; 8 persons were killed, including two by the Gwadar coast guards; a woman was shot down in her attempts to resist the dacoits in a burglary in Daazan; the “depression” of her missing brother prompted a woman to commit suicide in Gokdaan; attempts were made to demolish the grave of Nawab Khair Baksh Marri and the gravestones of the “martyrs of Balochistan” were removed and thrown away in Quetta. Seven other people have died in other incidents, including the four who were invited and subsequently killed by Sanaullah Zehri in his house. Outside of Balochistan, 4 persons were killed in Karachi. The report clarified that it did not include the persons who were temporarily detained by the forces and later released. The report said that aerial and land operations were executed in other areas of Balochistan, like Buleda, Awaran and Mashkay. As a result, hundreds of cattle had died and almost 50 houses were arsoned. The security forces allegedly pillaged various areas of Mashkay and Jhaoo and arrogated roughly 300 animals. The interspersed tribal population of Balochistan were deracinated from their domiciles and forcefully relocated in the vicinity of military cantonments. The report further said that the “war crimes” of Pakistan have always resulted in “human tragedies.” The families of missing persons have been protesting on the roads for years but the state has turned a blind eye to their pleas and screams. It said that the mental anguish of a brother’s disappearance compelled his sister to commit suicide in Gokdaan.

Following the India-China clashes at Galwan valley, United Liberation Front of Assom –Independent (ULFA-I) posted two pro-China videos in its YouTube channel hinting at the chances of a proxy war in the Northeastern region, reports The Sentinel on July 6. Through the two videos released in English and Assamese languages, ULFA-I hinted at the proxy war by China through ULFA and Naga insurgent organisations while blaming India for all the border clashes that have occurred between the two countries since 1962. According to intelligence sources, the ULFA-I leader Paresh Baruah released these videos due to pressure from China. Currently the banned organisation has been hiding in Wa State in Myanmar, along the China-Myanmar border. Sources also state that the recent skirmishes of Nagaland Governor RN Ravi with the State Government over the breakdown of law and order can be viewed as background behind this threat.

Through its online publications and propaganda material, the Islamic State (IS) has made multiple clarion calls to its supporters for carrying out terror attacks in India, newdelhitimes.com reports on July 6. The major source among these is ‘The Voice of Hind’, an English-language magazine published and distributed online by the IS supporters in India. Al-Qitaal Media Center, a pro-IS media outlet, and Junudul Khilafah al-Hind were behind the launch of this magazine. The first issue of ‘The Voice of Hind’ was released in late February, 2020, to coincide with President Donald Trump’s visit to India. The second issue of the magazine was released on March 24, 2020, that urged the IS ‘supporters’ in India to carry out strikes and exploit the preoccupation of the Forces in their fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The issue called the COVID-19 as a ‘punishment of Allah’ and called ‘Knights of the Tawheed (Oneness)’ to attack Police and military with a ‘sword, knife or even a rope’, even when they are performing their duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The magazine also included an old propaganda message from a Kashmiri IS terrorist, Abu Hamza al-Kashmiri who was killed in 2018. On April 21, 2020, the third edition of the newsletter produced by the Islamic State’s Wilayat al-Hind, or India province, called on the IS supporters to prepare for a ‘ghazwa’-battles associated with the expansion of Muslim territory in the region. The cover of the newsletter reflects its areas of prioritisation, which include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The fourth and fifth edition of the magazine was published in May and June 22, 2020, respectively that further glorified the IS ideology and made calls for jihad against the Indian state. In between the fourth and the fifth issue, the IS published a 17-page ‘lockdown special’ agenda online, on the cover featuring photos of surgical-masked individuals and a temperature check, declaring that ‘it’s time for kuffar (disbelievers) to fall’.

The Afghan Government on July 5, revealed one of the main reasons behind the delay in the intra-Afghan negotiations, saying it is not releasing 597 prisoners of the 5,000 inmates, reports Tolo News. These individuals are accused of “crimes and moral issues” and are on a list that was given to the Government by the Taliban, said Ahmad Rashid Totakhil, Head of the Prisoners’ Release Affairs. “'Murderers’ are on the Taliban list and the government has resisted. It is a (victims’) rights issue and the law does not allow to release someone under the pretext of being a Taliban member, who is charged with murder or even moral crimes like rape,” Totakhil said. These individuals were to be freed as part of the confidence-building measures established in the US-Taliban agreement signed in February 29, 2020.

A group of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres abducted parents of a Policeman in Gumiyapal village in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on July 6, reports The Times of India. Later on, July 7, they were, however, rescued by the villagers who went after the Maoists into the forest. The Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Pallava said, the Maoists barged into the house of District Reserve Guard (DRG) Constable Ajay Telam in the said village and abducted his father Lachhu Telam (64) and mother Vijjo Telam (62). They also injured Telam’s sister and snatched her mobile phone before fleeing the spot. Outraged by the incident, about 150 villagers entered the forest on July 7, to negotiate with the Maoists for their release. The SP said that the villagers walked through rough hilly terrain until they reached the rebels’ lair deep in the forest. “This is a unique case where villagers managed to argue with the Maoist fiercely at a ‘Jan Adalat’ (People's/Kangaroo Court organised by the Maoists) to release someone branded a ‘Police informer’. They argued that the elderly parents do not use mobile phones, nor do they know how to access it. They have no means to contact Police,” the SP added.

Even as the Government of India continues its sustained crackdown on the US-based pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), the organisation continues to reach out to Indians, particularly opinion-makers like journalists and lawyers with pre-recorded, international calls to push its secessionist agenda and propagate its Sikh ‘Referendum 2020’ campaign, reports The Times of India on July 7. As per the report, many journalists in Delhi have lately been receiving calls originating mostly from numbers in the US, seeking their support for SFJ's Khalistan cause and ‘Referendum 2020’, under which popular vote is being solicited in support of Punjab’s secession from India. The messages that are played out every time one accepts the international call – that may show Michigan or Georgia or any other location in the US as the point of origin of the call, contain anti-India statements and invoke radical Sikh feelings to push their ‘Khalistan’ agenda. An intelligence officer said the calls on behalf of SFJ were being made as part of global propaganda run by its leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The officer said, “the idea is to contact lawyers and journalists to ensure publicity for their agenda. It is possible that they have accessed their numbers from the public domain; such as PIB website or e-directory of lawyers. The numbers are mostly internet-generated and since the calls are made from different numbers, it becomes difficult to track or block them. If at all, the US authorities can be persuaded to help track down these numbers and take requisite action.”

The SFs observed that the Maoists in Chhattisgarh have made a key strategic change and advanced their annual ‘Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign’ (TCOC), where they carry out maximum attacks against SFs, to two phases this year – January to March and April to June, reports Hindustan Times on July 7. Usually, TCOC is carried out between March and June, allowing the rebels easier move in dense forests of Central India during peak summer.

The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) report of the 2012 Baldia factory tragedy said on July 6, that the factory fire was not an accident; rather it was an act of terrorism, reports Daily Times. The 27-page report released by the Sindh Government, states that the fire was started in the factory for non-payment of PKR 200 million as extortion. According to the report, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)’s Hamad Siddiqui and Rehman Bhola demanded extortion from the factory owner but the initial investigation had not mentioned the extortion anywhere in the FIR or in the investigation. The JIT has recommended withdrawing the previous FIRs and filing of new FIRs under terrorism provisions in its report and also recommended including the names of Rehman Bhola, Hamad Siddiqui, Zubair Charia in the new FIR. The JIT has also recommended including the names of Qadari, Dr Abdul Sattar, Ali Hassan Qadri, Iqbal Adib Khanum and four unidentified persons in the FIR. It has also recommended to cancel the passports of the accused and put their names on the ECL. Police role has also been criticized in the JIT report as Police had failed to investigate the case in the right direction.

India on July 7, mounted a sharp attack on Pakistan during a virtual meeting of the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism, accusing it of sheltering and supporting terrorists and pushing a false narrative on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Hindustan Times. Mahaveer Singhvi, Joint Secretary (counter-terrorism) in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) who led the Indian delegation for the webinar organised by the UN body, stated, “It is very unfortunate that a country which perpetrated terrorist attacks in Mumbai (2008), Pathankot (2016), Uri and Pulwama is now preaching to the world community…The global scourge of terrorism: Assessment of high risk threats and trends including the rise of violent extremism and hate speech in a pandemic environment”. Singhvi described Pakistan’s statement claiming credit for eliminating al-Qaeda as “ludicrous” and said the group’s founder, Osama Bin Laden, was recently glorified as a “martyr” by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in Parliament. “This is a chilling reminder of the patronage that international terrorists receive in Pakistan,” he said. Khan had publicly acknowledged the presence of up to 40,000 terrorists in Pakistan and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the UN Security Council had reported that about 6,500 Pakistani terrorists from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) are operating in Afghanistan, he added. “Pakistan’s role as epicentre of terrorism has been well documented by numerous international organisations including UN and FATF. Unlike Pakistan, India does not make any distinction between terrorists and invariably condemns terror attacks anywhere in the world, including the one in Karachi, referred to by Pakistan’s representative in his statement,” Singhvi said.

On July 7, hitting out at Pakistan for peddling “false narratives” against it, India has asked Islamabad that it must introspect about why it is universally acknowledged as the "international epicentre" of terrorism and the “best safe haven for terrorists”, reports outlook.com. Mahaveer Singhvi, head of the Indian delegation, made the comments at a webinar ‘The Global Scourge of Terrorism: Assessment of High-Risk Threats and Trends, including the rise of Violent Extremism and Hate Speech in a Pandemic Environment’ on July 7, during the ongoing virtual Counter-Terrorism Week. "While the world is coming together to battle the pandemic, it is unfortunate that Pakistan, a state which sponsors cross border terrorism, continues to use every opportunity to peddle false narratives and make baseless, malicious and egregious allegations against India and interfere in our internal affairs,” he said. He further added, “The international community should call upon Pakistan to take sustained, verifiable and irreversible actions against terror outfits operating on the territory under its control. Pakistan must introspect upon why it is universally acknowledged as the international epicentre of terrorism and the best safe haven for terrorists”. While Pakistan conveniently blames others, it "turns a blind eye” to the human rights violations in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), territories of Jammu and Kashmir illegally occupied by it, he said. “It has also systematically and consistently discriminated against its religious and cultural minorities,” Singhvi said, adding that reports of forced conversions, attacks on religious places of minorities, including Ahmadias, Christians, Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan are well known to the world.

Addressing devotees at Takht Damdama Sahib, Talwandi Sabo in Bathinda District of Punjab, Harpreet Singh said, “it seems that the Sikhs are being eliminated from India gradually just like what was done to the followers of Buddhism. For the last few days, Sikh youths have been tortured and harassed mentally in Police Stations. When asked about the reason behind, the cops said their mobile phones are being examined. They say these persons have shared posts on social media. In the country, where accused of bomb blasts have reached parliament, you are not tolerating even this minor offence of the Sikhs. This is a deliberate attempt to harass Sikhs.”

Reporters sans Frontières (Reporters Without Borders) released a statement on July 8 where it warned the Pakistani Government to not threaten the journalists living abroad, reports The Balochistan Post. Citing a ‘leaked Pakistani government internal memo’, the Paris-based watchdog RSF warned that if any ill befall the threatened journalists, Pakistan will be held responsible. According to the details, RSF claims of obtaining a facsimile of a ‘leaked’ memo of the Pakistani Government that names six journalists – five Pakistanis and one Afghan – of damaging Pakistan’s ‘foreign interests.’ The memo accuses the aforesaid journalists of disseminating “rhetoric against Pakistan” and of being “involved in various activities in Europe and America which are seriously damaging Pakistan’s foreign interests abroad.” The leaked memo, according to RSF, accuses the journalists of “either participating in anti-Pakistan activities or producing anti-state content” for foreign media under pseudonyms. The memo then addresses the journalists and says: “you are requested to strictly follow [their] movements and social media accounts.” If the journalists persist, they may be “approached through proper channels to stop such rhetoric against Pakistan in future.” According to the RSF, the memo is addressed to five recipients: Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the Director-General of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting, the Director General of Military Intelligence, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is unclear, claims RSF, who leaked this document. Unlike an official document, the memo was not circulated within the Interior Ministry. Instead, it was directed only to five recipients, suggesting that it was a ‘working document.’ The memo had been circulating within the ISI since 2019.

According to a report by the Canadian outlet Global News, a case relating to two Canadian Sikhs being placed on a no-fly list in the country has now been linked to an alleged Pakistan-based plot to use pro-Khalistan elements to conduct terrorist acts in India, reports Hindustan Times on July 10. The details emerged as two men — Bhagat Singh Brar and his business partner Parvkar Singh Dulai — challenged being blocked from travelling by air. As per supporting case documents filed by Canadian security agencies, including Public Safety Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Brar was “promoting extremism, including the radicalisation of youth, with the aim of achieving Khalistan independence; and attack planning and facilitation, including weapons procurement, to conduct attacks in India.” On the other hand, Dulai was described as a “facilitator of terrorist-related activities and has shown an ongoing pattern of involvement within the Khalistani extremist milieu”. The report further said that Brar visited Pakistan in 2015 and collaborated with one Gurjeet Singh Cheema to plan an attack in India. The case documents alleged that Brar collected donations for gurdwaras and “is suspected to have been diverting major part of the funds for anti-India activities”. He was also linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Dulai has been described as a very vocal supporter of Khalistan. Also, Brar again visited Pakistan in 2018 to meet his father who happens to be Lakhbir Singh Rode, nephew of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and founder of the banned International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF).

The monthly magazine of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) in its recent editorial has stated that an increase in suppression of Sikhs in the country will lead to the intensification of demand for independent territory among them, reports Hindustan Times on July 10. Written by its editor Satwinder Singh Phoolpur, the editorial appeared in the July 2020 edition of the magazine titled ‘Gurmat Parkash’. It raises the issue of confiscation of farmland of scores of Sikh farmers living in Uttar Pradesh (UP) by Yogi Adityanath-led State Government. Strongly lodging protest against the UP-Government’s move, the editorial reads, “Seizing land of the Sikhs by the government is not an action that has been taken all of a sudden. This is the policy of the Government to eliminate the Sikhs….This environment of alienation has given rise to demand of independent territory for Sikhs. As suppression on Sikhs increases, the demand for independent territory will get more intensified. Today they have seized farmland and tomorrow they take over outlets, factories and other Sikh establishment, if we keep mum.”

Asserting that extrajudicial killing by Pakistani establishment in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) are "not acceptable", activist Sajjad Raja on July 9 urged United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to put Prime Minister Imran Khan led government on notice for the summary execution of various Kashmiri leaders, reports ANI. Speaking at 44th session of the UNHRC, Sajjad Raja, Chairman of the National Equality Party Jammu - Kashmir Gilgit Baltistan and Ladakh (NEP JKGBL), said “the extrajudicial killing taking place in Pakistani occupied so-called 'Azad' Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan are not acceptable. The citizens of Azad Kashmir stand before you today, seeking intervention on the repression and extrajudicial killing of our people.” 'Azad' means 'free', but this is a false label that has been attached to our people to hide the truth in a disgusting way. In fact, any dissent towards Pakistan is mercilessly crushed through lent officers, army atrocities and the ISI, he added.

A source on July 9 said that the Taliban has handed over a replacement list for the 592 prisoners which were originally rejected as release candidates by Afghan Government, reports Tolo News. The Government so far released 4,019 prisoners and the Taliban has released 737 prisoners. Earlier, the Afghan Government revealed one of the main reasons behind the delay in the intra-Afghan negotiations, saying it is not releasing 597 prisoners of the 5,000 inmates that were to be freed as part of the US-Taliban agreement, because these prisoners are being held not only for being affiliated with the Taliban, but because they are allegedly guilty of serious "moral" crimes. Meanwhile, the Taliban has said that the group will not endorse the intra-Afghan talks unless the Afghan Government releases its 5,000 prisoners from the jails.

Pakistan has restored the bank accounts of top five leaders of proscribed Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the frontal organisation of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), including its chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, The News reported on July 12. The restoration of bank accounts has taken place following formal approval of the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The other members of JuD who got their bank accounts restored include Abdul Salam Bhuttavi, Haji M Ashraf, Yahya Mujahid and Zafar Iqbal. All of them are UNSC’s enlisted terrorists though and currently facing sentences ranging one to five years in Lahore jail for terror financing cases filed against them by the Punjab Counter Terrorism Department (CTD). The News sources claimed that each one of the JUD leaders had appealed United Nations for restoring their bank accounts that they could run their family affairs. “Initially we did not want to file an appeal but we were advised to file it as it was difficult for our leaders to run their affairs. Not only this it would have also raise questions how our leaders are running their families so we approached the authorities as it was in our favour whatever facility we have got in terms of restoration of our bank accounts is legal and with the approval of United Nations” said a key leader of JuD while requesting anonymity.

The Sindh Home Department on July 15, extended the detention order of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the prime suspect in the 2002 kidnapping and murder of The Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, and three other suspects for another three months, reports Pakistan Today. In April, 2020, the Sindh High Court (SHC) had overturned the murder conviction of all four suspects, the other three being Fahad Naseem, Sheikh Adil, and Salman Saqib who were earlier sentenced to life in prison, including British-born Sheikh, saying the murder charges against him were not proven. The Home Department said that the accused have been detained under Article 11EEE of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, fearing the accused may form a new militant network if released from prison. The Supreme Court last month had refused the Sindh government’s request to suspend the SHC verdict to acquit the suspects. It also refused to immediately hear the appeal and instead said to hear it on September 25, 2020.

US District Court in Los Angeles on July 21, rejected the USD 1.5 million bail application of Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana, who has been declared a fugitive by India for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack case (26/11) describing him a flight risk, reports NDTV. US District Court Judge in Los Angeles Jacqueline Chooljian, in her 24-page order dated July 21, denied bail to Rana arguing that he is a flight risk. Describing Rana as a flight risk, the US government opposed his release on bail, arguing that if he were to flee to Canada, he may escape the possibility of a death sentence in India. "Given the stakes, an allowance of bail in any amount would not guarantee Rana's presence in court. Granting bail would invite the possibility of embarrassing the United States in the conduct of its foreign affairs, straining its relationship with India," Assistant US Attorney John J Lulejian had told the court.

A State Intelligence Service (SIS) officer testifying before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) probing Easter Sunday attacks on July 22, said although the SIS had provided information to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) about the locations of Zahran's team members 'Army Mohideen', Yusuf Anwar and Zahran's brother Rilwan, before the attacks, the CID had failed to arrest them, reports Daily Mirror.

Prime Minister Imran Khan on July 24 expressed his firm resolve to end the “sense of deprivation” long felt by the people of Balochistan by launching a series of development projects to undo the neglect of decades in the province, reports Daily Times. “Ensuring complete peace, security and socio-economic development for the people of Balochistan are the key priorities of my government,” he said while chairing the second meeting of the National Development Council (NDC). The NDC’s first meeting was held in August 2019 after its formation in June that year. The PM said he was fully cognizant of the problems people in Balochistan face and expressed his commitment to turn the situation around by providing them relief and services in the best possible manner. “Financial resources allocated for Balochistan in the past were never diverted towards the development of the province,” he said. PM further said such a state of affairs led to dismal development in the province and caused “a sense of deprivation” among its people. “There must be a full focus on the development of infrastructure, provision of employment for the youth, and completion of road networks to gain benefit from the completion of the Gwadar Port and the CPEC,” PM added further.

According to a United Nation (UN) report, Pakistani nationals remain at the leadership levels in terror groups such as al Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant - Khorasan (ISIL-K) and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and many of them are yet to be blacklisted, The Times of India reports on July 26. The 26th report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team concerning ISIL, al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities said that in April and May, the Afghan special forces conducted a series of countrywide operations and arrested the head of the ISIL-K Aslam Farooqi (also known as Abdullah Orokzai) and his predecessor Zia ul-Haq (also known as Abu Omar Khorasani) and others. Farooqi, who hails from Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), is the mastermind behind the terror attack on a prominent gurudwara in Kabul in March that killed 25 Sikhs. He is not blacklisted by the UN Security Council's 1267 al Qaeda Sanctions Committee. Similarly, Haq is also a Pakistani national and has not been blacklisted yet. AQIS operates under the Taliban umbrella from Afghanistan's Nimroz, Helmand and Kandahar provinces and its current leader is Pakistan-born Osama Mahmood, who is also "not listed" under the UNSC sanctions. Mahmood succeeded Asim Umar. The report said that the group reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and Pakistan and "is reportedly planning retaliation operations in the region to avenge the death of its former leader." The Sanctions Monitoring Team report said that the "large terrorist group present in Afghanistan" Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is led by Amir Noor Wali Mehsud. Pakistan-born Mehsud was designated a global terrorist by the UNSC sanctions committee only this month, more than two years after he was named the TTP leader, following the death of former TTP ‘head’ Maulana Fazlullah. Mehsud is supported by his deputy Qari Amjad and TTP ‘spokesperson’ Mohammad Khorasani, both not listed under the UNSC sanctions. This demonstrates that the Pakistani nationals operate at leadership levels in the terror organisations and point to the terror groups' Pakistani links.

Baloch Khan, the ‘spokesperson’ for the umbrella organisation of the Baloch pro-independence outfits Baloch Raj Aajoi Sangar (BRAS) said in a media statement that representatives of the BRAS and the commanders of Sindh pro-independence organisation Sindh Revolutionary Army (SRA) held a session at an unknown location where the participants assessed the latest geopolitical situation and announced the formation of a united front and joint strategy to liberate Balochistan and Sindh from Pakistan, Sangar Publication reported on July 26. The participants in the session unanimously agreed that the Sindhi and Baloch nation have had political, historical and cultural ties that have persisted for thousands of years. Currently, both nations aim for independence and both consider Pakistan state (Punjab) an archenemy. Therefore, it is the need of the time for both historically neighbouring nations to form a united resistance front. The participants further said that the Sindh and Balochistan are equally affected by the expansionist and oppressive resolves of China. Through the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Pakistan and China aim to subjugate Sindh and Balochistan to acquire their illegitimate political, economic and militaristic interests and want to occupy the coasts and resources from Badin to Gwadar.

Terror-related violence in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) till July, 2020, was two-third of the levels witnessed during the corresponding period of 2019, reports The Times of India on July 31. Also, the number of terrorists killed in the first seven months of 2020 is already nearing the figure for entire 2019. As per data, 120 violent incidents were recorded in J&K till July 15 this year, down from 189 in the corresponding period of 2019. Of these, 69 related to cross-firing and encounters initiated by the security forces while 21 were grenade attacks, 22 random firing by terrorists and one Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast. In 2019, till July 15, there were 81 cross firing/encounters, 51 grenade attacks, 60 IED blasts and 43 random firings by terrorists.

However, infiltration attempts have fallen by almost 50% over this period,” Director General of Police (DGP), Dilbag Singh, said. As many as 141 terrorists were neutralised till July this year (the number till July 30 has gone up to 150), as compared to 131 till July 31 last year.
