Amid reports that many of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres died of Covid-19 in Jharkhand and other States, Jharkhand Police has made an offer to the ailing Maoists that they will get all medical facilities along with Covid jabs after they surrender, reports The New Indian Express on July 9. Inspector General of Police (IGP), Operations, Jharkhand Police spokesperson, AV Homkar, said, “Again I appeal, especially, to those who have lost track and joined Maoist cadres that if they have any kind of medical problem or any complication related to Covid, they must inform the local SP or police station and surrender. Their treatment will be done by the police department.” The offer was apparently made after reports that many Maoist cadres were infected with Covid but due to lack of resources, they were not able to get proper treatment. Moreover, they were also forced to get treated by the local quacks due to the fear of getting arrested. More than 900 of the 1000 Maoists lodged in different jails of Jharkhand have already been vaccinated, IGP, Homkar added.

According to sources, an Al Qaeda-linked militant group has reportedly been active in country’s hilly areas, reports UNI on July 14. It is learned that this group is conducting training and da'wah (invitation to Islam) work under the garb of an organisation called ‘Dawatul Islam’. Mahmudul Hasan Gunbi is leading the extremist activities in the hilly areas under the banner of this organisation. He has also set up two militant hideouts in Khagrachari and Bandarban Districts. There are 20 to 25 active cadres of this group. An un-named senior intelligence official told that Gunbi, known for his extremist views, is currently the spiritual leader of Ansar al-Islam. However, he has resorted to a tactic using an organisation called ‘Dawatul Islam’ as a shield. Using the name of this organisation, Ansar al-Islam has been propagating its activities and extremist ideology in the country’s hilly areas and in some areas of char areas in North Bengal. Multiple law enforcement sources say, Gunbi is also working as a key figure in an extremist group called Manhaji. He and three others are leaders of this group. The other two are Maulana Harun Izhar and Ali Hasan Osama. The two have been arrested and are now in jail. This Manhaji group is also secretly using Hefazat-e-Islam as a shield. Law enforcement has learned from the detainees that the Manhaji group also follows al-Qaeda's ideology and has been using Hefazat-e-Islam as a shield.

An independent, neutral, unified, peaceful, democratic and prosperous nation; 2. ceasing violence and terrorist attacks against civilians and state representatives, settle conflict through political dialogue, and respect interests of all ethnic groups; and 3. ensure that neighbours are not threatened by terrorism, separatism and extremism.

Conflict victims along with national and international human rights organisations on July 14, reiterated their position of non-engagement with transitional justice bodies if their tenure is extended without amending the Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act as ordered by the Supreme Court (SC), reports The Himalayan Times. Issuing a joint statement, 49 national organisations and eight international organisations said, "We express our serious concern about the never-ending process of extension of the mandates of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons formed and operated under the flawed TRC Act. The Act, whose legitimacy has been questioned by the victims, civil society, United Nations and the SC, allows amnesty for those involved in gross human rights violations, and facilitates mediation between victims and perpetrators even in cases involving gross human rights violations."

Prime Minister Imran Khan on July 16 asked Afghanistan to consider Pakistan a "partner of peace" rather than blaming it for the ongoing unrest, which he said was the "outcome of using a military solution by the United States instead of a political one", reports Geo TV. “Blaming Pakistan for what is going on in Afghanistan is extremely unfair…peace in Afghanistan is our foremost priority,” the prime minister said, in response to the speech of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani at the conference on "Central and South Asia Regional Connectivity, challenges and opportunities’ held at Congress Centre". During his address, the Afghan president had levelled unfounded allegations against Pakistan, saying that 10,000 fighters had crossed over into Afghanistan from the country.

The East Division committee of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has expelled Chikudu Chinna Rao alias Sudheer from the party and termed him as a traitor, reports The Hindu. In a letter released on July 17, committee’s ‘second-in-command’ Aruna said that Sudheer had left the movement to achieve his personal goals and ditched the party at a time when the conflict with the Security Forces (SFs) is on the rise. Sudheer, a tribal leader of ‘division committee member’ (DCM) rank and a native of Kondrum village in Injari Panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) of Pedabayalu Mandal (administrative sub-division) in Visakhapatnam District in Andhra Pradesh, has left the party citing differences of opinion between tribal and non-tribal leaders. Aruna also pointed out that Sudheer has left fearing the advances of the SFs and for his selfish agenda. She also said that Sudheer left the party with another woman cadre, Mahita, and has deserted his wife and children, by doing so. She appealed to the tribal community in the Andhra Odisha Border (AOB) region not to support Sudheer and also stated that it would not be surprising to see him aligning with the SFs.

The 28th report of the United Nation (UN) Monitoring Team submitted to the UN Security Council on July 22 said that focuses on the global threat posed by al Qaeda, Daesh and related groups, yet again, draws attention to the increasing cross-border terrorist threat to Pakistan from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating from Afghan soil, reports Geo TV. The report reiterates findings of the earlier UN reports that had pointed out similar cross-border terrorist threats posed by the TTP, a proscribed group, to Pakistan, owing to its re-unification and strengthening in Afghanistan. The latest UN Monitoring Team report also notes that the “TTP has increased its financial resources from extortion, smuggling and taxes”. These recent UN reports back Pakistan’s strong concerns regarding the TTP’s operations from Afghanistan, prompting Pakistan to call on the international community to prevent Afghanistan’s territory from being used by the TTP, Daesh, al Qaeda, and other terrorist groups.

In a press conference on July 24, to deliver the updates on the investigation on the May 6, 2021, Male bombing (targeting Mohamed Nasheed), Assistant Commissioner of Police Mohamed Riyaz said that “the findings from our investigation do show that the suspects do follow the ideologies maintained by IS [Islamic State], and even has actively taken part in spreading this ideology. They also wish to present themselves as people who aid IS”. He, however, added that there are no solid grounds for the Police to believe that the suspects have a direct connection to Islamic State or any other international groups. Riyaz also stated that suspects believed that government-provided salary was haram, but had requested for income support allowance issued by the government. Assistant Commissioner of Police Mohamed Riyaz said that there is no evidence directly linking the May 16, 2021, Male bombing incident (targeting Mohamed Nasheed) with an alleged assassination plot reported to Defense Minister Mariya Ahmed Didi prior to the attack, reports Sun Online. “We have received no evidence to directly link the information Ilyas Labeeb received with the actions of the suspects who staged this attack,” he said. He further said there is no evidence to suggest the suspects carried out the attack in exchange for money. Riyaz also said Nasheed has yet to provide a statement to the police. He said that investigators attempted to get information from Nasheed when he had been in Male, but he declined to comment given it had been the initial stages of the investigation. Riyaz further said it was not the first time for Nasheed to become a target for improvised explosive device (IED) attack. Nasheed’s family and supporters believe Defense Minister Didi to be criminally liable for failure to report the information to the police, and have demanded her resignation.

According to the 28th report of the United Nation (UN) Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) still has about 6,000 trained fighters on the Afghan side of the border, Dawn reported on July 27. UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team also confirms the presence of hundreds of anti-Beijing Muslim militants close to Afghanistan’s border with China. In a chapter that deals with the Taliban’s approach towards foreign terrorists, the report notes the group’s efforts to suppress such outfits “has been more pronounced in cases of foreign fighters with suspected leanings” to IS and TTP. “Attempted enforcement has reportedly led to clashes (some fatal) between the Taliban and TTP over operational restrictions placed on the latter,” the report adds. But the UN monitors also note that “despite growing distrust, TTP and the Taliban carry on with relations mainly as before”. According to the report, TTP is traditionally located in the eastern districts of Nangarhar province, near the border with Pakistan. The UN team points out that “a reunification took place in Afghanistan between TTP and certain splinter groups in the period from December 2019 to August 2020”. This included the Shehryar Mehsud group, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA), Hizb-ul-Ahrar, the Amjad Farooqi group and the Usman Saifullah group (formerly known as Lashkar-i Jhangvi). Al Qaeda was reportedly involved in the moderation between the groups. The return of splinter groups to the TTP fold has increased its strength, “of which current estimates range between 2,500 and 6,000 armed fighters,” says the report, adding that “the upper range is more accurate”. The group has been led since June 2018 by Noor Wali Mehsud. The deputy to Mehsud is Qari Amjad. UN monitors note that TTP “has distinctive anti-Pakistan objectives but also supports the Afghan Taliban militarily inside Afghanistan against Afghan government forces”.

It would also be undemocratic… Moreover, when the government is contemplating the enactment of a new Constitution, restructuring powers of governance enabling the maximum possible devolution in the area of historical habitation of the Tamil speaking people in the North East.Such a step will be counter-productive and not welcomed by the people,” the letter said.

In an interview to Raajje TV on occasion of the 56th anniversary of Maldives independence on July 26, former Maldivian President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom dismissed claims of extremism within the coalition government as a false and politically motivated narrative pushed by politicians who wish to come to power, reports Sun Online. Maumoon’s comments come after leader of the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), former President Mohamed Nasheed recently accused President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih of pandering to extremists, and announced he can no longer remain politically allied to him. One of the key points of contention that led to the current rifts within MDP is the bill to amend the Penal Code to criminalize acts of hate. Addressed the contentious bill in his interview, Maumoon said “The title is pleasing; criminalizing acts of hate. Very pleasing indeed. Makes perfect sense. But when we look at all the clauses of the bill, it cannot be implemented in an Islamic country such as ours”.

Democratic values and free citizenry bind India and the United States (US) together, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on July 28, reports The Hindu. The two sides discussed cooperation on a wide range of issues, including Afghanistan, countering COVID-19, the Indo-Pacific strategy and the Quad. During his day-long visit to New Delhi, Blinken also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval, members of civil society and a representative of the Dalai Lama. On Afghanistan, Blinken and India’s Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar agreed that there was no “military solution” to the conflict, and that taking over the country by force would not help the Taliban gain the “international recognition” or “legitimacy” it desires, including the lifting of sanctions and travel bans against the Taliban leadership. In a reference to Pakistan, Jaishankar said one neighbour of Afghanistan was an “exception” to the consensus for a peaceful political settlement. An Afghanistan that did not respect the rights of its people, and an Afghanistan that committed atrocities against its own people would not be part of the global community, Mr. Blinken said.

Former Afghanistan National Directorate of Security (NDS) Rahmatullah Nabil on July 28 blamed Pakistan for orchestrating terrorism in Afghanistan for the past four decades, reports The Balochistan Post. He said that Pakistan keeps supporting the Taliban in their endeavours as innocent Afghan civilians are plunged into a terrible bloodbath. Taking to the social media, Nabil said that Pakistan should be declared a terrorist state for its nefarious manoeuvres in Afghanistan. Pakistan harboured al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden – the most wanted criminal in the world at the time – for several years. What could be more credible evidence of Islamabad’s terrorism? Nabil asked. He said that despite all the “terrorist policies” directed towards Afghanistan, the Pakistani leaders are still blaming Afghanistan for the ongoing conflict. He said that Afghanistan is capable enough to give Pakistan a taste of its own medicine. But we don’t intend to inflict suffering on the innocent Pakistani civilians, so we have refrained from any retaliatory measures, he said.

Ten human rights groups including the Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International issued a statement on July 28 calling for the release of Lawyer Hejaaz Hizbullah and several other currently detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), reports Ada Derana. The organizations state that in the absence of any credible evidence presented before a court of law, Hizbullah should be released immediately and unconditionally. “Hejaaz Hizbullah was arrested on April 14, 2020 under the PTA. He was accused by the police of aiding and abetting Inshaf Ahamed (who was involved in the April 21, 2019 bombings), an accusation that has since been withdrawn...The latest allegation on which an indictment was filed against Hejaaz Hizbullah in the High Court on February 18, 2021, is a speech-related offence of “causing communal disharmony,” one of a number of overly broad offences provided under the PTA. The indictment is based on a statement to the Criminal Investigation Department of the police made by a child regarding a speech allegedly made by Hizbullah in Puttalam. Other children who were questioned at the same time by the same officers filed fundamental rights cases claiming they were coerced by police officers to falsely implicate Hejaaz Hizbullah. Combined with the repeated changes in the allegations, this leads us to believe the allegations against him are unsupported by any credible evidence” the statement reads.

In an interview with PBS NewsHour aired in the night of July 29, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan said the Taliban are not some military outfits but normal civilians, asking how the country is supposed to hunt them down when it has three million Afghan refugees at the border. PM Khan stressed that Pakistan hosts three million Aghan refugees of which the majority are Pashtuns, the same ethnic group as the Taliban fighters. "Now, there are camps of 500,000 people; there are camps of 100,000 people. And Taliban are not some military outfits, they are normal civilians. And if there are some civilians in these camps, how is Pakistan supposed to hunt these people down? How can you call them sanctuaries?" he argued. When asked about alleged Taliban safe havens in Pakistan, the Prime Minister responded: "Where are these safe-havens? There are three million refugees in Pakistan who are the same ethnic group as the Taliban..." Pakistan has been long accused of helping the Taliban militarily, financially and with intelligence inputs in their fight against the Afghanistan Government, but Imran Khan dismissed these accusations as "extremely unfair". He said that thousands of Pakistanis lost their lives in the aftermath of the United States war in Afghanistan when "Pakistan had nothing to do with what happened" on September 11, 2001, in New York.

The Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) officials said that Ismail Hasan Furkan alias Zahid Hasan alias Raju, the ‘bomb expert’ of Neo-Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (Neo-JMB) is at the top of the law enforcers' wanted list as he continues to make most of its members efficient in producing bombs, reports The Daily Star on July 30.

Furkan was born in October 1994 in an impoverished family in Borguna District. He got admitted to Jahangirnagar University in 2012. He completed honours, but could not finish his masters.
