The youths joining the terror ranks in Jammu and Kashmir have a ”short shelf life” with more than 64 per cent of them being killed by security forces within a year, quoting unnamed officials Daily Excelsior reported on July 3. Security Forces, aided by a strong on-ground intelligence network, have scaled up anti-terror operations in the first five months of this year, though frequent violence in south Kashmir remained a cause for concern, officials said. Citing data of terrorists neutralised between January 1 and May 31 this year, the officials said 64.1 per cent of the new terror recruits were eliminated within a year. Only 26.6 per cent of the terror recruits lasted more than 12 months, while the fate of 9.3 per cent of them was not known, officials said. Giving further details, the officials said 28.1 per cent of the terror recruits were killed within one month, 54.7 per cent within six months and 59.4 per cent within nine months. The officials said 70 to 75 youths have joined various terror groups in Kashmir Valley in the first five months of this year. The corresponding figure of last year was near equal. Officials said south Kashmir continued to be the hotbed of terrorism in the valley as the region saw 59 terrorist killings by security forces in the first five months of this year compared to 31 such killings in central and north Kashmir. Out of the total 90 terrorists killed in the valley between January and May, 26 were Pakistani nationals and the number is much more than that of the whole of previous year when 182 terrorists, including 20 foreigners, were killed in 100 anti-terror operations, the officials added. Six of the 90 terrorists killed in 47 encounters were eliminated on the Line of Control (LoC) while trying to infiltrate into the valley from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the officials said, adding the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) suffered the major setbacks as 52 of its terrorists were eliminated and 18 others apprehended since January 2022. The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) was the second on the chart with 20 of its terrorists being killed and four others arrested, followed by the Hizbul Mujahideen (11 dead and one arrested) and Al-Badr (four dead and three arrested). The identity of three remaining slain terrorists could not be ascertained, the officials added. The officials said the four districts of south Kashmir — Pulwama, Anantnag, Kulgam and Shopian — recorded the killing of 59 terrorists and arrest of 10 others, while summer capital Srinagar witnessed the killing of 11 terrorists, including four Pakistani terrorists, and arrest of four others. Pulwama District recorded the highest number of 27 killings of terrorists, including seven foreigners, followed by Anantnag (12), Kulgam (11) and Shopian (nine). Among the 11 terrorists killed in Kulgam, five were foreign terrorists, the officials added further. Seven terrorists were killed and eight others arrested in Budgam District while Ganderbal District, which also falls in central Kashmir, saw the lowest incidents of terror activities with only one militant eliminated in a gunfight, the officials said. In north Kashmir, which is being used by terrorists as a gateway to infiltrate into the valley from PoK, the officials said a total of 12 terrorists, including 10 foreigners, were killed and 23 others arrested. Of them, six terrorists, including five foreigners, were killed in the border districts of Kupwara, three foreigners in Baramulla and three others, including two foreigners, in Bandipora. Eighteen terrorists were also arrested in Baramulla District and five others in Bandipora district, officials said. The officials said a total of 61 terrorist-initiated incidents were reported from across the valley during the five-month period and half of them were reported from Pulwama and Srinagar Districts.

The Citizenship Bill 2075 BS, which was stuck in parliament almost for the past four years, has finally been withdrawn on July 8, reports My Republica. The Citizenship Act Amendment Bill, which had been ‘under consideration’ in the House of Representatives (HoR) since August 7, 2018, was withdrawn from the House on July 8. In the HoR meeting, Home Minister Bal Krishna Khan submitted a proposal to withdraw the pending Citizenship Bill as per the decision of the Council of Ministers. Taking part in the discussion on the proposal, the lawmakers had expressed their views on whether to withdraw. Bhim Bahadur Rawal of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) argued that the decision to withdraw the bill is against the existing legal principles, and reminded that the constitution has made provisions on citizenship so that all Nepalis get the Nepali citizenship easily while preventing the non-Nepalis from getting it. Also, CPN-UML lawmaker Sher Bahadur Tamang stated that it looks as if this parliament is not going to pass the bill since the bill that had been already discussed by the parliamentary committees has been retracted and a process has been initiated to bring a new one. Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Centre) lawmaker Aman Lal Modi said that although the bill has been withdrawn, a new bill should be brought to replace it at the earliest. CPN-UML lawmaker Ghanshyam Khatiwada said that people who were eagerly waiting to get citizenship on the basis of birth have been dejected with the decision to withdraw the bill. Meanwhile, Home Minister Khand said that the Cabinet meeting to be held on July 8 would bring a new bill and the pending bill had been withdrawn. After that, the proposal to withdraw the bill presented by the government was passed by a majority in parliament.

The Deputy Leader of the United National Party (UNP) Ruwan Wijewardena issuing a statement on July 8 said the party continues to support peaceful struggles, reports Colombo Page. The activists of several parties and organizations have decided to come to Colombo on July 9 and engage in a continuous struggle based on several issues including the removal of the President from office. “It should be remembered that peaceful struggles are always supported by the United National Party. We also stood up for the rights of the activists during the attack on the Galle Face Green activists on May 9,” the statement said, adding, “After UNP leader Ranil Wickramasinghe became the Prime Minister, I was appointed to negotiate with the protesters and coordinate with them. It is an absolute truth that we accept that the people are under severe pressure in the face of the current economic crisis. The country’s economy completely collapsed due to mismanagement of finances in the face of the Rajapaksa regime. Today, the whole country has to pay for the results of that wrong financial management. Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe revealed the true state of the economic crisis after assuming the office of Prime Minister and also stated that the country has to go through a difficult time.” Peaceful protests should also have the opportunity to continue freely without any hindrance or blockade. It is our belief that the people who come to the protest should continue their protest in a manner that does not break the peace. “The security forces should also maintain law and order so as not to disturb the protesters. We also remind that the protection of state property is the responsibility of the security forces as well as the responsibility of the strugglers. We all wish for a peaceful country, so it is our only wish that it will always exist,” Deputy Leader’s statement said.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has accused the Government of India (GoI) of ‘desperately trying to push through a new edited version of 16-Point Agreement (16-PA) at the cost of betraying the Framework Agreement (FA)’ signed with the group on August 3, 2015, reports Nagaland Post on July 11. In a statement, NSCN-IM stated that that ‘the state of affairs on the ongoing Indo-Naga political talks is a matter of regret as rogue elements are pushing around with the blessing of the GOI targeting the destruction of the Framework Agreement’. The outfit further claimed ‘the elements of perfidy, deceit, duplicity, double dealings and treachery had been planted by Government of India’s intelligence agencies in the same manner when the State of Nagaland was created under the 16-Point Agreement’. NSCN-IM stated that many Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) were unable to attend the meeting at Camp Hebron on June 29 as the Arunachal administration, police and Assam Rifles warned and stopped them from proceeding to Hebron. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable to the outfit as well as the Naga people who would not accept toxic divisive policy to repeat the past blunder.

Homicide investigators in Canada are trying to figure out who killed controversial Sikh community leader Ripudaman Singh Malik, a former terror suspect, wealthy businessman, and founder of Khalsa Credit Union and several Khalsa schools, reports Hindustan Times on July 15. Malik, 75, who was acquitted in the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing by the Canadian judiciary in 2005, was shot dead by a group of three unidentified assailants outside his Surrey office in the Metro Vancouver region of the British Columbia province on July 14 morning. A spokesperson for the Surrey detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed, on July 15, that the killing “did appear to be targeted”. Malik’s death comes weeks after he travelled to India in May-June this year after having benefited from New Delhi’s whittling down of a blacklist related to pro-Khalistan figures in Canada and elsewhere. He also visited India in 2019. A senior Indian official, felt that it could be connected to his return to India, and concern that he may speak out about the Kanishka tragedy that claimed 329 lives. The official also expressed apprehensions over the style of killing, potentially pointing towards a link between pro-Khalistan elements and organised crime, much of which is run by Indo-Canadian gangsters. Malik’s change of heart had attracted the attention of separatist groups. In December 2019, Gurpatwant Pannun, legal adviser to the banned US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), said in a release: “Instead of the stick, Prime Minister Modi and his agents are offering Sikh foreign nationals the carrot to once again visit family in India.” To be sure, there is no reason to connect the killing to SFJ, as the killers are yet to be identified, and the organisation has repeatedly stressed that it abjures violence in pursuit of Khalistan. “I just think there are so many potential motives,” retired RCMP deputy commissioner Gary Bass was quoted as saying by the Toronto Sun newspaper. Bass, who was in charge of the terrorism investigation into the 1985 Air India bombing, said, “I’m not privy to the ongoing investigations on Malik right now, but I can say that from years when I was that he was involved in a number of activities that might bring him into conflict with other people.” Reportedly, in January this year (2022), he wrote a letter praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reopening the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases, opening the Kartarpur Corridor, grant of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) license for the Golden Temple, among other initiatives, and also released an open letter to the community to renounce the demand for a separate Khalistan.

Over two months after a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) was fired at the intelligence headquarters in Mohali, the Punjab Police claim to be closing in on the two attackers, reports Hindustan Times on July 16. According to a senior Police officer, privy to the investigations, the two suspects who carried out the attack on “direct instructions” from Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda have been identified as Divanshu and Deepak. While Divanshu belongs to Haryana’s Jhajjar, Deepak is from Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Their last known location is also somewhere in UP, said the officer. Rinda had allegedly also used the duo to execute two murders — one in Maharashtra’s Nanded (where the gangster-turned-terrorist’s group is mainly active) and another in Amritsar. “Although six men were already arrested for the conspiracy, they had no idea about the exact identity of the two attackers, who were specially hired and given online training to fire an RPG by Rinda,” the officer cited above said. The investigating team narrowed in on the two after analysing footage from more than 2,200 CCTVs and researching the data of over 100 hundred mobile towers across the state besides raw information gathered from those arrested and from a messaging app, said sources. “Special teams of the Punjab Police are still on the hunt of the duo, and around 20 days back, their location was suspected to be in UP,” said the senior officer. The attack was carried out at the Punjab Police’s Intelligence headquarters in Mohali’s Sector 77 around 7:45pm on May 9. However, no one was injured as most of the staff had already left the office by then.

He claimed his aides had removed the clips of the railway line to stop the coal supply. The 2.40-minute video also has visuals of two persons removing the clips of the railway line. They also wrote a slogan, “Khalistan Zindabad”, in Punjabi on a wall.

Participating in an international panel discussion focused on "Preventing Global Hunger and Famine", Sri Lanka’s Acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe said the island nation’s political turmoil is a result of the global food shortage and fuel crisis brought on by the Russia- Ukraine war, reports Colombo Page on July 17. “The issues we have in Sri Lanka regarding hunger is partly self-made and partly due to external events. A global crisis and an internal crisis both have come together and brought us to a level where many estimate that as much as 6 million people are facing malnutrition,” he said, adding, “First reason is the ban on chemical fertilizer and that has caused severely. We have grown 24 million metric tons of rice every year and we were self-sufficient. Today as a result of not using chemical fertilizer the output is about 16 million MT. One-third of our requirements have to be met from abroad at a time when the country does not have foreign exchange to meet these demands.” Acting President Wickremesinghe said the shortage of 800,000 MT of rice makes a difference between hunger and living comfortably. At the moment Sri Lanka has rice sufficient for eight months and for the next four months the government has to put in other substitutes. The government is planning a food security program and also preparing for the long season of paddy cultivation, which begins in September. “If we can provide fertilizer and seed for the 2023 Maha season then we can be self-sufficient in rice and get the real economy functioning as far as agriculture is concerned.”

Thirty-nine various human rights organizations have called for rectifying the 'lapses' in the Bill for the Amendment of the Investigation of Enforced Disappeared Persons (IEDP), Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Act, 2071 (2014) that the Government of Nepal registered in parliament on 15 July 2022, reports My Republica. The human rights organizations have also expressed full solidarity with the 'valid and serious concerns' expressed by the victims’ community on the Bill. "We believe that despite positive provisions including reparations, the amendment Bill contains many provisions that violate the victims’ right to an effective remedy. Amnesty to those involved in serious violations of human rights and international crimes including murder, torture, rape, and other forms of serious sexual violence, war crimes, and crimes against humanity is not acceptable under national and international law. Thus, the categorization of violations in the Bill is not acceptable. Earnest effort is required from the Government and the political parties to prevent explicit or implicit immunity from criminal accountability for those involved in serious violations of human rights and intentional crimes," the 39 human rights organizations said in a joint press release.

Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh on July 22 said that “Hybrid militancy” is a strategic move by Pakistan to get the crime committed and to shield the criminal but so far the neighbouring country has failed to provide cover to the militants involved in innocent killings, reports Daily Excelsior. Talking to reporters at Anantnag after inaugurating the Women’s Police Station, the DGP Singh, said that Hybrid militancy is a well-planned strategic move of Pakistan to promote a new sort of militancy where they want crime to be committed and criminal to go scot free. “In this type of faceless militancy, hybrid militants kill people including innocents and policemen then go underground in a bid to give impression that they have done nothing. But police have busted and exposed all such underground modules who were involved in innocent killings,” the DGP said. He said Hybrid militancy is destined to fail as Police network was very strong to counter it.

Five days before the commencement of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Martyrs’ Week (Shaheed Saptah), the secretary of the Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC), Gajarla Ravi alias Uday alias Ganesh, has released a letter urging the tribal people to make the programme being held from July 28 to August 3 a success, reports The Hindu on July 23. The letter has surfaced at a time when the Maoist movement is at its lowest ebb in the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) region. Saluting the Maoists, especially ‘Central Committee (CC)’ members such as Tapan da, Chintan da, Amber da and Saket da, who had died of illness in the last one year, and Milind Teltumbde, who was killed in an encounter at Gadchiroli in Maharashtra, Ganesh pointed out that in the last one year the CPI-Maoist had lost about 124 members, including 12 in the AOB region. Accepting that the Maoists had received a setback in the AOB region, Ganesh said the party was gearing up for a comeback and would regain its glory in the region.

The meeting of the National Assembly (NA) on July 28 passed the Nepal Citizenship (first amendment) Bill, 2079 with majority of votes, reports My Republica. Home Minister Balkrishna Khand had presented the proposal, seeking its endorsement in the NA meeting. Earlier, responding to the queries raised by the NA members on the bill, Minister Khand said the bill on amendment of citizenship act was brought to ensure citizenship certificates to tens of thousands of Nepali youths, who had been deprived of it even seven years after the country introduced a new constitution. Government is aware of the concern that all eligible ones should be provided citizenship while non-Nepalis must not be conferred on it. He made it clear that the bill was brought by holding adequate discussions with the ruling and opposition parties. The people deprived of citizenship certificates were frustrated, he said, urging the lawmakers to forge consensus on the points agreed so far, while the points that need additional homework can be sorted out gradually. He further made it clear that initially, the bill had not mentioned naturalized citizenship (by marriage). The citizenship bill was initially registered at parliament in 2075 BS.

The Maharashtra Police have arrested three persons, including one medical practitioner Pawan Uike, an MBBS doctor, who works at the Kamalapur Primary Health Centre in Gadchiroli District, for putting up banners of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports newsroomodisha.com on July 30. Gadchiroli, Superintendent of Police (SP), Ankit Goel said that the suspected Maoists were arrested when a Police team patrolling in the area saw them putting up pro-Maoist banners at Kamalapur, provoking the tribal population to protest against the State Government and the Police for – what they claimed to be – ‘anti-people’ policies. The banners also appealed to the locals to observe ‘Martyrs Week’ from July 28 to August 3 to commemorate the death anniversary of rebel leader and founder Charu Majumdar. Maoists urged the people to observe Mazumdar’s death anniversary and also pay tribute to all ‘martyrs’ — including ‘Central Committee (CC)’ member Milind Teltumbde, who was killed in an encounter in Gadchiroli in November 2021 — and all those who laid their lives in the ‘People’s movement’. “It is alleged that the three suspected Maoists arrested were providing logistics support to the Maoists. All the three have been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UAPA]. We are finding out whether the doctor Uike was doing all this voluntarily or was forced to do it,” the Gadchiroli SP added.

In addition, US President Joe Biden was briefed on July 1 in the White House Situation Room, on the proposed strike by his national security aides, reports Reuters. According to officials, President Biden, also asked officials to consider the risks the strike could pose to American Mark Frerichs, who has been in Taliban captivity for more than two years, and to Afghans who aided the U.S. war efforts who remain in the country. Further, the U.S. lawyers also considered the legality of the strike, concluding that al-Zawahiri’s continued leadership of the terrorist group and support for al-Qaida attacks made him a lawful target. Later on, July 25, as President Biden was isolated in the White House residence with COVID-19, he received a final briefing from his team. Finally, President Biden was informed on late July 30 that the operation has been initiated and after the strike happened on July 31. A further 36 hours of intelligence analysis would follow before U.S. officials began sharing that al-Zawahri was killed, as they watched the Haqqani Taliban network restrict access to the safe house and relocate the dead al-Qaida leader’s family. U.S. officials interpreted that as the Taliban trying to conceal the fact, they had harbored al-Zawahri. Later, on August 1 the US President Joe Biden announced the killing of Ayman al-Zawahri (71), reports AP. President Joe Biden said, “He will never again, never again, allow Afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he is gone and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens.” He further added, “This terrorist leader is no more”. According to the White House website’s press release of US President speech Joe Biden, “After relentlessly seeking Zawahiri for years under Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, our intelligence community located Zawahiri earlier this year. He had moved to downtown Kabul to reunite with members of his immediate family. After carefully considering the clear and convincing evidence of his location, I authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield once and for all. This mission was carefully planned and rigorously minimized the risk of harm to other civilians. And one week ago, after being advised that the conditions were optimal, I gave the final approval to go get him, and the mission was a success. None of his family members were hurt, and there were no civilian casualties”. Separately, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed that a strike took place and strongly condemned it, calling it a violation of "international principles", reports Tolo News August 1. The Long War Journal reports the Zabihullah Mujahid’s statement as, “On the second day of the first month of the current year 1444 Hijri, an air strike was carried out on a residential house in Sherpur area of Kabul city. The nature of the incident was not revealed at first. The security and intelligence agencies of the Islamic Emirate investigated the incident and found that the attack was carried out by American drones. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly condemns this attack on any pretext and calls it a clear violation of international principles and the Doha Agreement. Such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years and are against the interests of the United States of America, Afghanistan and the region. Repeating such actions will damage the available opportunities.”
