International Truth and Justice Project (ITJP) Executive Director Yasmin Sooka on June 1 questioned the appointment of former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Hapu Arachchige Jayantha Shantha Kumara Wickremaratne to the Office on Missing Persons (OMP), reports Daily Mirror. Sooka alleged “The appointment of war time police chief to the Office of Missing Persons (OMP) completes the militarization of this transitional justice mechanism and obliterates any chance of truth and justice for Tamil families of the disappeared. It is hard to make this up – the man who was in charge of three police units named by the United Nations investigation as involved in mass enforced disappearances at the end of the war is now investigating the disappearances himself.” On May 20, the Parliament Council appointed former IGP, Hapu Arachchige Jayantha Shantha Kumara Wickremaratne as a member of the OMP.

Gaddam Madhukar and a courier were arrested during a vehicle-check by Police. Madhukar was suffering from Covid-19, had come to Warangal for the treatment with the help of the courier, a minor. Several cases against him were pending in the Police Stations of Bastar Division. Madhukar who hails from Kumaram Bheem Asifabad District in Telangana had joined the Sirpur Dalam (armed squad) of the then People’s War Group (PWG)) in 1999. The Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] outfit later shifted him to DKSZC and since then, he was involved in several offences including killing of Police personnel and snatching away their weapons. The CPI-Maoist courier went to Venkatapuram forest area in a car and was bringing Madhukar to Hanamkonda for admission in a hospital. When Police searched the vehicle at the check post, Madhukar was found hiding in the car’s boot. Police arrested both of them and seized INR 88,000 cash. Madhukar was later admitted to a hospital for treatment, said Warangal’s Commissioner of Police, Tarun Joshi. Madhukar informed to Police that a large number of senior Maoist cadres are suffering with COVID-19. But the CPI-Maoist is not allowing them to go outside for better treatment. The cadres in exceptional cases are allowed to go outside for getting better treatment, only after their health condition turns worse. Maoist leaders said found to be infected with Covid- 19 include Telangana State Committee Secretary Yapa Narayana alias Haribhushan alias Lakma, Telangana State Committee members Bade Chokka Rao alias Damodar, and Kankanala Raji Reddy alias Dharmanna alias Venkatesh, DKSZC members Katta Ramchandra Reddy alias Vikalp and Kunkati Venkataiah alias Vikas, DKSZC spokesperson Mula Devender Reddy alias Masa Dada, South Bastar Divisional Committee (DVC) Secretary, Muchaki Ungal alias Raghu alias Sudhakar, and other CPI-Maoist cadres Kodi Manjula, Pusam Padma and Kakarla Sunitha, added Tarun Joshi, reports The Hindu on June 2

A report by the UN Monitoring Team released on June 2, said that “the Taliban and Al-Qaeda remain closely aligned and show no indication of breaking ties”, reports Tolo News. 18 Member States report “no material changes to this relationship, which has grown deeper as a consequence of personal bonds of marriage and shared partnership in struggle, now cemented through second generational ties.” According to UN member state information, “Al Qaeda is resident in at least 15 Afghan provinces, primarily in the east, southern and south-eastern regions, and are led by Al-Qaeda’s Jabhat-al-Nasr wing under the direction of Sheikh Mahmood. 19 Members of the group have been relocated to more remote areas by the Taliban to avoid potential exposure and targeting. Al-Qaeda maintains contact with the Taliban but has minimized overt communications with Taliban leadership in an effort to 'lay low' and not jeopardize the Taliban’s diplomatic position vis-à-vis the Doha agreement. Member States reported that a significant part of Al Qaeda leadership remains based in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the core is joined by and works closely with Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent."

As K P Sharma Oli was not ready to meet their demands, the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist–Leninist (CPN-UML) faction led by Madhav Kumar Nepal on June 3 expedited final preparations to form a new political party, reports Republica. The CPN-UML Central Committee members close to the Nepal-led faction had discussed in detail about starting a 'new campaign' to take forward the communist movement during a virtual meeting held on June 3. The faction expects to unite all other fringe communist parties to form a new party that would take forward the communist movement in a new way in Nepal. Addressing the virtual meeting, senior leader Nepal said that although they are still in favor of the party unity their desire to save the party unity is failing due to Oli's adamant stance to sideline his rivals. "We are in favor of the party unity. But we cannot indefinitely wait in the name of talks," senior leader Nepal had shared his conclusion. He also directed the party leaders expedite their internal preparations to form a new party anytime soon.

United States (US) special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad on June 7 said that in the present scenario two options remain for Afghanistan a political solution to the conflict or continued war, reports Tolo News. He reiterated that the United States will not abandon Afghanistan despite US troops leaving. Zalmay Khalilzad said that attempting a military solution will result in a continued war, while also acknowledging that the peace process in Doha has been slow and that both sides of the negotiations have not focused on the main issues. Khalilzad said the two conditions of Taliban including release of 7,000 more prisoners by the Afghan government as well as the removal of their leaders’ names from the blacklist are not practical given the current circumstances in which violence remains high in the country. Khalilzad said that the Taliban has not responded to a US plan for Afghanistan’s future after it was shared with them, and they have not returned a plan in response to the United States. “Some Taliban negotiators, including their chief negotiator Shaikh Hakim, went to Quetta and had some discussions, and have returned now and say they are interested in the resumption of the talks in the near future, and that they might submit their plan to the Republic delegation,” Khalilzad said.

A high-intensity explosion occurred in a madrasa (seminary) in Bihar’s Banka District on June 8, morning, killing an imam (religious teacher), Mohammad Abdul Sattar Mobin, and damaging other houses in the locality, reports Hindustan Times. According to Superintendent of Police (Banka) Arvind Kumar Gupta, the blast took place around 8am at the complex situated in Navtolia locality, pulling down a major portion of the seminary. “The compound’s front portion comprises the madrasa. It was locked from outside. There is a pathway inside which leads to the mosque, the gates of which were found open. The explosion has caused extensive damage to the seminary building,” Gupta told. A preliminary probe suggested the presence of gunpowder or explosives at the site of the explosion, said Shresthan Kumar, Assistant Director of the Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Bhagalpur. Mobin’s body was recovered just outside Navtolia locality. Preliminary investigations revealed that the injured imam died on the way to the hospital, following which his aides abandoned the body in the car and fled, said Police.

At least 40 persons (young men) have joined the militant ranks in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) this year with another 50 missing, reported official sources, reports Free Press Kashmir on June 9. The official report said several among the missing are suspected to have joined militancy but have not been included in the official count by the officials as the recruitment is not established yet. Quoting a senior-level official source, the report said: “This year there have been around 40 who have joined militant groups, basically the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Al-Badr. However, around 50 are still missing.” Another arm of the defence and security apparatus, which is involved in counterinsurgency operations, verified the trend of recruiting, the report said. “All the traditional militant groups, which were operating from Pakistan with the direct support of the ISI, like the LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba), Jaish-e-Mohammad [JeM] have now got frontal organisations with peculiar names to showcase that Pakistan has no role in the terror activities in Kashmir,” the report said quoting another official source, adding “The Resistance Front (TRF), which is a front for LeT, has attracted the majority of the new members”. Furthermore, the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen’s infamous 313 Brigade has been transformed into the Jammu and Kashmir Ghaznavi Force, the report said. The Lashkar-e-Mustafa (LeM) is a JeM front that rose to prominence after the Pulwama incident in 2019. Hizbul’s recruitment and operations are shrinking. The report also said Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM)’s operations and recruiting have slowed, owing to tensions at its headquarters in Pakistan administrated Kashmir (PaK). 131 Kashmiri youngsters had joined militancy in 2020, the report said quoting official statistics, as of early October 2020. This was an increase from the 117 new hires in 2019. In 2018, 214 young people joined militant ranks, the highest level of recruitment in recent years.

On June 8, Naga groups including National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has raised objection on the proposed Karbi Anglong Peace Accord deal to be inked between the Assam Government and six militant outfits - Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF), People’s Democratic Council of Karbi Longri (PDCKL), United People’s Liberation Army (UPLA) and three factions of Karbi People’s Liberation Tiger (KPLT), reports The Telegraph. The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), denouncing the agreement which proposes the creation of Karbi-Anglong Autonomous Territorial Council (KAATC) in nearby Assam, as reported in East Mojo, stated that any deal without “the consent of the Naga populace who are the original inhabitants of the area” will not be accepted. NSCN-IM stated that Karbi Anglong, erstwhile known as Rengma Hills, is the victim of aggressive influx of outsiders for vested interests. The Rengma Nagas are the legitimate sons of the soil. The proposed KAATC is more of appeasement policy to pacify the six Karbi militant outfits, according to NSCN-IM. According to The Economic Times, Rengma issue in Assam constitutes one of the important agendas of Indo-Naga political talks which is still pending. The Rengma Naga People’s Council (RNPC) further demanded “creation of Rengma Hills Autonomous District bifurcating from Karbi Anglong” District if the accord is signed as it alienated the Rengma Nagas. The RNPC has submitted a memorandum to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma putting forth its demand of creation of an Autonomous District for the “Rengmas” with Headquarters at Phentecho by upgrading the existing Bokajan Sub-division and creation of an MLA seat reserved for the Rengmas, reports Northeast Now. On June 9, Rengma Hoho has expressed its support to RNPC memorandum for creation of separate Rengma Autonomous District.

According to the DisInfo Lab report, the United States-based Pakistan-linked charity organisations started collecting funds in name of helping India in this pandemic time but sent only a small amount in the name of help to India, india.com reports on June 16. Calling it ‘Covid-19 Scam 2021’, the report said the donated millions of dollars are likely to be used for fomenting protests and sponsoring outright terror attacks. The report also called it one of the worst scams in human history in terms of the humanitarian cost as millions of dollars were stolen in the name of ‘Helping India Breath’. Notably, the DisInfo Lab exposed a number of charity organisations which managed to raise funds by exploiting India’s hard-earned goodwill. One such organisation which claimed to have worked for India is the Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA). The present chairman of IMANA is Dr Ismail Mehr who has been leading the “Help India Breathe” project. He is a Pakistan-origin doctor and currently based in the US, according to the report. The report suggested that these organisations have close ties with radical Islamists and terrorists’ organizations and being run in cahoots with the Pakistan army. “Funds worth tens of crores donated by well-meaning people world over to help India in crisis – has been stolen. There is no accountability and in the present globalised world, no mechanism to ensure any accountability,” said the report. Unlike several other organizations, IMANA was rather opaque in its recent charity drive during the Covid crisis and has provided “scanty details” about the manner it has spent crores of funds it has collected.

Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Centre) Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha on June 15 accused the Election Commission (EC) of being a puppet of the Government, reports Khabarhub. Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “The EC has been working as a puppet of the government to mock the law and democracy. I condemn such action of a constitutional body. This is clear from its recent decision about Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP). It did the same to Nepal Communist Party (NCP).” Leader Shrestha also attributed the current political crisis and instability to the EC’s decision on the NCP. JSP co-chairmen had approached the EC to update the registration book of the party as per their actions after they expelled each other from the party. In the JSP dispute, the EC recently ruled those actions taken by both sides were invalid and it could not register their actions as had demanded by the rival factions.

On June 16, tensions arose in Kathan village in Wakro circle of Lohit District of Arunachal Pradesh when hundreds of Chakma settlers came to the village and allegedly resorted to blank firing to threaten the local residents, reports The Arunachal Times. The tension was diffused following Police intervention. According to sources, Chakmas along with machetes and locally-made guns called khanwa came at the village and started pelting stones to protest against desecration of the Buddha temple established in the area. However, the villagers claimed that the Chakma settlers had encroached on Mishmi land and secretly built the temple on it which the Chakmas claimed that the area comes under the designated Chakma village of Boddisatta-I, II and III. The claim of residents of Kathan has also been supported by the Lohit District Police who stated that according to a traditional boundary settlement between the Mishmi and the Singpho communities on 6 April, 2021, the mentioned area falls under the Mishmi community land. Also, All-Arunachal Pradesh Student’s Union (AAPSU) and All Mishmi Students’ Union (AMSU) strongly condemned the incident and have questioned the State Government’s stand on the rampant encroachment by Chakmas on Mishmi land.

Amending the Act is a must to prosecute the incidents of serious crimes and human rights violations that were perpetrated by the Maoist rebels and the state security forces during the decade-long Maoist insurgency.

On June 23, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Isak Muviah (NSCN-IM) said, the Union government opposing taxations by the outfit instantly violates the Framework Agreement wherein the two entities have agreed to coexist peacefully as two different entities sharing sovereign power, reports Northeast NOW. It further said that, opposing the Naga tax is nothing short of obstructing the Naga political movement and to let the Naga people be enslaved by India. As per the Framework Agreement, the Nagas are the masters of their own lands both below and above. “So, why should India interfere in the internal matter of the sovereign Naga people?” it asked. The outfit issued the release in response to Nagaland Governor and interlocutor for Naga talks RN Ravi’s statement on June 21 that the Indian government does not recognize collection of tax by any other entity other than by it or a state government. He also said that the forcible collection of money by any entity is extortion, which is a criminal offence punishable under the laws. The NSCN(IM) said, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) collected taxes to support the Naga people’s political movement, which had started in 1929 even before India attained independence from the British and it is highly unbecoming of the Governor who is “desperately trying to criminalize” the Naga political movement by questioning its right to taxation.

Three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres surrendered before Police in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on June 21, reports The New Indian Express. The surrendered cadres were allegedly involved in planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), damaging roads and bridges and putting up Maoist posters and banners in the interiors of Dantewada and neighbouring Sukma Districts since 2015. Dantewada, Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallava said, they turned themselves in before Police, saying they were impressed by the Police's rehabilitation drive 'Lon Varratu' and disappointed with the “hollow” Maoist ideology. Out of the three Maoists, Aayta Kohrami, who was active as a ‘militia commander’, was carrying a reward of INR 100,000 on his head, while the two other cadres, identified as Uika Somdu (23) and Kartam Mahendra (22), were working as militia members. Mahendra was also wanted in connection with the murder of a person in Timmapuram village in 2018. SP, Pallava, said, “with this surrender, 375 Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs], including 99 carrying cash rewards on their heads, have so far quit violence in the district under the 'Lon Varratu' (term coined in local Gondi dialect for 'return to your home/village') campaign launched by police in June last year.” Under the initiative, the Dantewada Police have put posters and banners in the native villages of at least 1,600 Naxals, mostly carrying cash rewards, and appealed to them to return to the mainstream.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet during the opening of the United Nations Human Rights Council’s (UNHRC) 47th session in Geneva, on June 21, 2021, expressed concern over counter-terrorism laws in Sri Lanka. She said “In Sri Lanka, I am concerned by further Government measures perceived as targeting Muslims, and by the harassment of Tamils, including in the context of commemoration events for those who died at the end of the war. I am concerned that recent appointments to the Office of Missing Persons and Office for Reparations, and steps to discourage investigations into past crimes, are further undermining victims’ trust.” She also said that the recent counterterrorism regulations – which include the listing and/or prohibition of more than 300 Tamil and Muslim groups and individuals for alleged support of terrorism – will also not advance reconciliation. “Regulations now permit the arbitrary administrative detention of people for upto two years, without trial for the purposes of de-radicalization, I also note a continuing series of deaths in police custody and in the context of police encounters with alleged criminal gangs. A thorough, prompt and independent investigation should be conducted,” Bachelet said. She also told the session that they will continue to engage with the Government, and she will update the Council further at the September session, including on progress in implementing the new accountability mandate.

Core Group comprising senior officials from the civil administration and the security agencies met at the Indian Army’s Badami Bagh Cantonment to review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in Srinagar District of J&K in India on June 22, reports India Tribune. The officials shared inputs about the security situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and the hinterlands. The ceasefire has improved the security situation along the International Border (IB). However, intelligence inputs of terrorist launch pads and terrorist training activities in Pakistan indicate the need to be alert along the LoC. There are indications of heightened activity in the last two months. The cross-border smuggling of narcotics and weapons continues to be the focus of the intelligence agencies and Security Forces (SFs). This includes continued vigil and checks on all passes leading to the Kashmir Valley. There is a joint SFs effort at targeting the Over Ground Worker (OGW) network that sustains terrorism and focused efforts by the Police have led to the apprehension of nearly 400 such persons. Local recruitment, though lower than previous years, continues to be the focus area of the security and intelligence agencies. The efforts of some outfits to use variety of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are being proactively countered. Reports of encroachments along the national highway are being checked as these can cause security threat to the convoy movement on the highways. The shift of terrorist’s modus operandi in targeting soft targets and counter measures were also discussed. The officials deliberated on the propaganda effort by Pakistan and their antagonistic information warfare tactics, said statement released by Indian Army. The meeting was co-chaired by the General Officer Commanding, Chinar Corps, Lt Gen D.P. Pandey, and Director General of Police (DGP), J&K, Dilbag Singh.

With the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) set to discuss a report on the progress made by Pakistan on the implementation of a 27-point action plan this week, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on June 22 alleged that previous Governments did not take steps to curb money laundering and terrorist financing in the country, reports The Express Tribune. FATF placed Pakistan on the grey list in June 2018 and asked Islamabad to implement a plan of action to curb money laundering and terror financing by the end of 2019 but the deadline was extended later on due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Qureshi said that the previous Government of Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) was responsible for the country being placed on the grey list of the FATF. "When PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf) came to power, Pakistan had already gone into the (FAFT) grey list," Qureshi said. Holding the PML-N responsible for the tough conditions set by FATF, he said that no previous government took steps to curb money laundering and terrorist financing. The minister said that nations faced pressures in these situations so "we should (also) bear this pressure."

A Peshawar High Court bench on June 22 directed the Federal Government to produce a detailed report on landmine explosions in the erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), especially South Waziristan, within three weeks, reports Dawn. Chief Justice Qaiser Rashid Khan and Justice Syed M Attique Shah issued the directions to Additional Attorney General Amir Javed after holding preliminary hearing into the joint petition of Sajjad Ahmad Mehsud and four other lawyers against the frequent landmine blasts in tribal Districts. The petitioners sought the demining of the tribal region, especially South Waziristan, by the Federal and Provincial Governments and compensation of the affected families. The date of next hearing will be fixed later. The petitioners claimed that the landmine explosions were killing and injuring more and more residents but the relevant authorities were unmoved. The petitioners requested the court to direct the respondents, including Federal and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governments, to remove landmines, especially in South Waziristan District, and highlight the affected areas as Red Zone. The petitioners also sought orders for the Government to pay compensation under the Shuhada Package to the legal heirs of landmine blasts and to the residents, who suffered injuries or whose houses were damaged. They also demanded the registration of landmine blast cases by the Police in their daily diaries to check ‘discrimination’ against the residents of the erstwhile FATA.

When asked about the new action plan after the APG evaluation, Pleyer said the plan had "six action items including enhancing international cooperation and demonstrating that assistance is being sought from foreign countries in implementing UN Security Council designations".

Foreign Office on June 28, refuted Afghanistan's claims that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) does not operate on its soil and said that evidence suggests otherwise as there are over 5,000 TTP militants in Afghanistan, reports The News.

"The TTP, following its orchestrated reunification with its splinter groups with the help of Hostile Intelligence Agencies (HIAs), its continued presence in Afghanistan with impunity and its cross-border attacks against Pakistan, pose a persistent threat to our security and stability," the statement said.

The Vizag rural Police of Andhra Pradesh has alleged that a few cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) are involved in molestation of women cadres and ganja (cannabis) cultivation, reports The Times of India on June 30.

Not only this, he is arranging funds through ganja trade and he is destroying the properties of tribals. This is opportunism and lack of ideology of Maoists,” he alleged.
