Foreign Minister G.L. Peiris delivering a statement at the High-Level Segment of the 49th Regular Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on March 1 in Geneva said that the evidence gathering mechanism established by the UNHRC resolution at the 46th session creates obstacles to the reconciliation efforts and polarizes the society, reports Colombo Page. He pointed out that in a startling departure from the mandate which the UN General Assembly originally conferred on this Council, operative paragraph 6 of this resolution refers to a so-called evidence-gathering mechanism, a measure that was strongly opposed by a number of countries. “Such initiatives create disharmony both in the domestic and international arenas. It creates obstacles to reconciliation efforts, breeds hatred by reopening past wounds, and polarizes society,” Minister Peiris said rejecting the measure.

In a setback to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Chhattisgarh High Court on March 2 dismissed the probe agency’s appeal to quash or transfer the second First Information Report (FIR) registered in connection with the 2013 Maoist attack in Jheeram valley that had killed 29 persons, including several senior Congress leaders, reports The Indian Express. The FIR in question was filed by slain Congress leader Uday Mudliar’s son Jitendra Mudliar in 2020. A division bench of justices RCS Samant and Arvind Chandel passed the order, clearing way for the State Police to carry on with the investigation into the alleged conspiracy behind the attack. The central probe agency had moved the High Court after a special NIA court in Jagdalpur had rejected its plea. Reportedly, on May 25, 2013, Maoists ambushed and killed 29 persons, including senior leaders Nand Kumar Patel, Vidya Charan Shukla and Mahendra Karma, during a poll campaigning tour in Bastar. The Congress had alleged “a bigger political conspiracy” behind the attack, demanding an independent inquiry. The case was transferred to the NIA the same year and the Congress party termed the agency’s 2016 probe report “more of a cover-up than an investigation”.

Veteran Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader and a member of its ‘central committee’ (CC), Arun Kumar Bhattacharjee aka Kanchan Da (72), was arrested along with one of his associates Akash Orang aka Rahul, from a tea garden under Udharbond Police Station limits in Cachar District of Assam on March 6, reports outlookindia.com. Guwahati Police Commissioner Harmeet Singh said. "He is a big catch for Guwahati Police. We got information about his movements in December and he slipped through two-three operations earlier. But last evening, we were able to arrest him when he tried to hide in a tea garden." Kanchan Da was tasked to set up a state-level committee of the CPI-Maoist in Assam and create a "red corridor" from a neighbouring country to other Maoist-hit States of India like Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh among others. "His job was also to organise state party congress, recruit local cadres and purchase weapons here. We seized one laptop, a mobile phone, a huge amount of incriminating documents and Rs 3.6 lakh cash from his possession," the Police commissioner said. He said efforts to set up a network of Maoist cadres in Assam were at a "nascent stage" and those had been "nipped in the bud". Singh also said the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been informed about the arrest and their officers are on the way to Guwahati to take over the case as it involves multi-state terror activities, threatening national security.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘Central Committee’ (CC) has appealed to the people to observe ‘Anti-Imperialist Week’ from March 23 to 29 across the country, reports Telangana Today on March 10. In a statement in Bhadradri Kothagudem of Telangana on march 10 the CC ‘spokesperson’ Abhay said the Anti-Imperialist Day would be celebrated on March 23 marking the 90th death anniversary of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru. Russian imperialism led to its aggression on Ukraine which was the result of the imperialist contention between US-EU and Russia. The people of Ukraine were giving stiff resistance with the spirit of anti-imperialism to this aggression. Imperialist forces put the burden on the backward countries, working class and middle classes of the capitalist countries. Imperialists thought it necessary to deploy para-military forces to suppress the rising struggles against imperialist exploitation. In India Brahmanic Hindutva fascist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was instigating fake nationalism and implementing exploitive policies more aggressively since it came to power. The country’s economy was totally surrendered to the imperialists. The result was demonetisation, Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, black agrarian laws, making Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)s to plunder country’s natural resources, anti-worker laws, suppression of revolutionary movement through SAMADHAN-Prahar offensive and splitting the country on the basis of religion, Abhay said. On the other hand, the Central government was privatising insurance, banking and railways to benefit capitalists. All the Maoist parties, oppressed classes, sections and professionals, the national bourgeoisie have to celebrate the anti-imperialist week, he added.

A judicial probe report, which was tabled by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, said the security forces had opened fire on tribal people celebrating Pandum festival in panic. According to the report, the Security Forces passing through Edesmetta village in Bijapur district on the intervening night of May 17 and 18, 2013, had spotted a gathering and suspected that they were Maoists.

The enquiry commission had deduced that the firing took place in nervousness and was a direct result of mistaken identity from the side of security forces.

Naxal [Left Wing extremism, LWE] violence in the country has reduced by 77 per cent, from an all-time high of 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021, Union Minister Nityanand Rai told the Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) on March 15, reports The Pioneer.

"The incidents of LWE violence have reduced by 77 per cent from an all-time high of 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021. Similarly, resultant deaths — civilians and security personnel — have reduced by 85 per cent from all-time high of 1,005 in 2010 to 147 in 2021," Union Minister Rai said.

Superintendent of Police (SP), Sunil Dutt has accused the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Party leader Azad of molesting women working in the party, reports Telangana Today. In a statement in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana on March 16, the SP said it was a shame that Maoist party leaders who claim to be fighting for women’s rights were committing atrocities against women. Despite complaints by Azad’s victims, the top leadership had failed at least to reprimand him, he alleged in his statement. Referring to a specific incident Dutt said Police have credible information that Azad recently assaulted sexually a woman working in party when she went to take bath in the forests of Buttalanka-Yerrapalli on Telangana Chhattisgarh borders. The victim, greatly pained at the incident, complained to the Maoist top leadership but no action was taken against Azad. Following that the woman went into a State of deep depression and confusion. It was unfortunate that no action was taken against him even after the woman complained about the incident and Azad continues to sexually harass innocent tribal women, Dutt remarked. Innocent tribal women were forcibly recruited into the party by Maoist leaders for their survival and then they were being used for unscrupulous activities in the name of corrupt ideologies. How could the Maoists do justice to women when they harass the women in the Maoist party, SP sought to know.

Lack of road connectivity remains a “serious” challenge for Security Forces (SFs) who are moving deeper into Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-dominated areas of Chhattisgarh to set up new camps every year, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General (DG), Kuldiep Singh, said on March 17, reports The Indian Express. He said the force has set up 20 Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) deep inside the State’s forests but over 330 kilometres of roads in the Sukma-Bijapur-Dantewada region are pending completion for almost 12 years. “The issue of roads (in the core Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] zone) is a serious one. Our camps are increasing by the day, deeper in Maoist areas. But we don’t have roads connecting them. There are projects stuck since 2007-08,” he said. According to CRPF data, 58 FOBs have been set up by the CRPF in zones affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE) since 2020. Of these, 35 have been set up in the past one year alone, mostly in Chhattisgarh where Maoists continue to hold sway in parts of South Bastar. At the same time, the data show, only 50 per cent work has been completed on the 331 kilometres of roads in the Sukma-Bijapur-Dantewada region that was sanctioned by the Government in 2010. In 2012, two more road projects — Konta-Gollapalli (44 kilometres) and Bheji-Chintagufa (65 kilometres) — were sanctioned for Sukma, but only six kilometres of these have been constructed. Similarly, work on an eight-kilometres road project in Sukma sanctioned in 2015 is still in the initial stage. SFs have been pushing for good roads in core Maoist areas for them to launch quicker operations and prevent Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks. “There are multiple difficulties in this, the threat from Maoists is one,” Singh said. In 2017, 12 CRPF personnel were killed in a Maoist ambush while on security duty for a road being constructed at Bheji in Sukma, followed by another ambush more than a month later in Burkapal where 25 CRPF personnel were killed. Over the past year, the CRPF engaged in multiple encounters with Maoists in LWE areas where 19 Maoists and 10 CRPF men were killed.

The Border Security Force (BSF), which has been deployed in Odisha’s Malkangiri and Koraput Districts, the area was once considered a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) bastion, has asserted that the region is now free from the clutches of the Maoists, reports The Telegraph. After visiting Malkangiri District, particularly the ‘Swabhiman Anchal (earlier known as cutoff area) of Malkangiri District of Odisha, considered to be a Maoist hot bed, for two days Inspector General (IG) BSF Satish Chandra Budakoti said in Malkangiri on March 17: “The Swabhiman Anchal which used to be a liberated zone of Maoists has almost been sanitised. With the support of Odisha police, we fought and the Maoists fled away from the area.” The IG also appreciated the Odisha Government’s surrender policy, which has motivated the Maoists to lay down their arms and surrender. “We ensure that developmental work takes place in the area. Now the roads, bridges, schools and health facilities have changed the ground situation. New mobile towers are now installed in interior areas with support and cooperation of the BSF,” said IG BSF, Satish Chandra.

The Kerala High Court on March 17 quashed the charges slapped under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and under section 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Roopesh in three cases registered in Kuttiadi and Valayam Police Stations in Kozhikode District of Kerala, reports The New Indian Express. A Division Bench comprising Justice K Vinod Chandran and Justice C Jayachandran issued the order while allowing the petition filed by Roopesh seeking to quash the cases. The authority headed by a retired high court judge had recommended charging the section against the petition based on the letter of the home department on February 7, 2018. The sanction of the State Government in the first two crimes was on June 6, 2018, and in the other crime on April 7, 2018; both delayed. In the UAPA and the Rules framed thereunder, a specific time of seven days is provided. The Authority has to make a recommendation, after which the appropriate Government also has to issue a sanction within another seven days from the receipt of the recommendation, argued the petitioner. "Amidst the raging controversy as to the retention of offence of sedition in the IPC; which the naysayers categorise as a relic of the colonial past; a symbol of British hegemony and the votaries support in the wake of rising anti-national feelings under the cloak of liberal thought, the Government sat over a sanction for six months, violating the time frame prescribed in the rules," observed the Bench. The Bench held that the sanction under the UAPA granted after six months from the date of receipt of the recommendation of the authority is not a valid sanction. "We find the sanction order of the UAPA to be not brought out in time, as statutorily mandated and bereft of any application of mind; both vitiating the cognizance was taken by the Special Court," observed the court.

Pakistan appears to have changed its tactics to keep Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on the boil as instead of directly pushing trained terrorists onto the India side, the agencies of the neighbouring country are “now exploiting the religious fault lines”, brainwashing and radicalising Valley youths to join terror ranks, officials in the security grid feel after analysing the recent trends on the ground, reports The Tribune on March 21. Officials said Pakistan had been desperate for long to get itself out of the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and this change in tactics should be seen in this backdrop. From its earlier policy of “bleed India thousand times” by directly sending trained terrorists and engage the forces in an indirect war, the Pakistan’s external spy agency, ISI, has changed its approach to launch into a low-intensity conflict by using “religious fault lines” and radicalise youth by instilling in them a sense of deprivation, officials said. In its bid get itself out of the FATF grey list, which Pakistan has been trying since 2016, the ISI began creating multiple shadow terror groups like The Resistance Front (TRF), Kashmir Tigers (KT), The People’s Anti-Fascist Force (PAFF) and Kashmir Janbaz Force (KJF). Most of them are offshoots of banned terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), the officials said, adding that they were set up with the primary aim of creating a smoke screen to shield Pakistan from FATF sanctions and also to paint that terrorism in Kashmir is because of disenchantment among the local youth.

Wanted ‘zonal commander’ of the Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), identified Bhikhan Ganjhu and his close aide Rahul Munda were arrested from Ranchi District of Jharkhand on March 20, reports devdiscourse.com. According to the Police, Ganjhu was a ‘zonal commander’ of the TSPC having INR one million bounty on his head with 26 cases registered against him. He is also wanted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) for smuggling of arms and ammunitions to Maoists and gangsters with help of the Naga underground, the Police records stated, said the Police, adding that he was highly active in coal belt areas of Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Chatra, and other joining Districts. Surendra Kumar Jha, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Ranchi said, "Arresting him was not easy as he didn't leave many traces behind. But due to the sustained efforts of the police and information system, we got information about him. A team under the leadership of the City Superintendent of Police was formed and he was finally arrested. His arrest is very important because he is the top brass of TSPC and we are hopeful to nab more cadres after his interrogation." In 2019, NIA registered case against him Under sections 414, 467, 468, 471 and 474 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), sections 25(1)(a), 25(1A), 25(1AA), 25(1-B)(a) 26, 29 and 35 of the Arms Act and sections 16, 17, 18, 18B & 19 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967. NIA's step came after the interdiction of five sophisticated weapons on February 7, 2019, by Bihar Police, including Under Barrel Grenade Launchers (UBGLs) and a large number of AK-47 ammunition being smuggled allegedly from the Myanmar border with the help of some Naga undergrounds to be supplied to Maoists and gangsters in the country.

The situation along the Line of Control (LoC) remains stable after the armies of India and Pakistan agreed to observe a ceasefire in February last year (2021), the Defence Ministry said on March 21, reports Daily Excelsior. Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt, replying to a question in Rajya Sabha (Upper house of the Parliament), said the Army has been keeping a strong vigil on the situation and it remains prepared to thwart any threat from “inimical elements”. Aimed at reducing tensions, the Indian and Pakistani armies on February 25 last year announced that they would cease firing across the LoC while recommitting themselves to a 2003 ceasefire agreement. Without mentioning Pakistan, the Minister said Indian security forces deployed along the western borders are “adequately poised to respond to any challenge posed by adversary across the entire conflict”. Referring to the international border (IB) with Pakistan, Bhatt said there are indications of an “emerging narco-terror nexus sponsored by inimical elements across the border”. He further said, “The situation along Line of Control (LoC) remains stable post the Directorate General of Military Operations (DGMOs) understanding of February 2021.” The minister said both armies have exercised restraint in the interest of maintaining peace along the LoC.

He said that even a single grenade can injure several people and a single weapon can kill and threaten people. “This is why we are taking action and we are at it to destroy their support system and OGWs [Over Ground Workers] who are giving them backup”, he added. The DGP further said, “I urge youth to surrender who are carrying pistols, guns and grenades in their hands due to provocations by Pakistan and are killing innocents. I must tell them that this path leads to destruction of their own selves and society. I appeal them to adopt the path of peace.”

As many as 58 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have been neutralised in Police action, 194 have been arrested and 108 surrendered during the last five years, Odisha Governor Ganeshi Lal said on March 25, reports Kalinga TV. Addressing the State Assembly, the Governor said Left Wing Extremism (LWE) was dealt with firmly during the last five years. The number of LWE affected Districts now stands at 10 from 21, due to the proactive response of the State Government and the Security Forces (SFs). The turnaround in the situation in ‘Swabhiman Anchal’ (earlier known as cut-off area) of Malkangiri District, which once was a Maoist bastion, has been the most redeeming feature in the success achieved in the anti-LWE front in the State. Stating that the overall law and order situation has remained by and large peaceful in the State in 2021, Lal said that communal tension, agitations by different labour and service organisations and students’ unrest, if any, were contained through the process of dialogue and Police alertness. The State Government is placing much needed emphasis on human resources requirements of the State Police, he said, adding that 4,205 posts in different ranks have been created to augment the capacity of the State Police during the last five years. Similarly, 29 Police Stations, five outposts and one town outpost have been created during the period, he pointed out.

In a bid to prevent youth from joining Naxal [Left Extremism Extremist, LWE] groups, Jamshedpur Police are organising street plays to show the hollowness of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)’s way of life, “Bhatke Rahi (Misguided Traveller)” on March 25, reports The Avenue Mail. ‘Bhatke Rahi’ street plays are being staged in Police Station areas like Bodam, Patmada, MGM, Ghatshila, Galudih, Dhalbhumarh, adjoining the West Bengal border. Its response is also overwhelming. Sports events are also being organised under community policing during street plays and prizes are also distributed among the winning contestants. The people of the village are also openly participating in this. “Poverty has basically been responsible for their problems. So, we are addressing these issues. If the youths start getting employment, they probably won’t take to arms. Hopefully, even hardcore Naxalites too would see logic behind our campaign, which seeks to encourage them to give up arms and join the mainstream,” said a Police official. Involving the community and educating them may effectively address the Naxalite menace in this area. The concept of community policing has also been introduced in many States, including Tamil Nadu, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. In this initiative, community support is sought to help Police in crime prevention, giving information about any antisocial or criminal activity in the area and helping Police in the arrest of proclaimed offenders.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) administration, on March 30, sacked Police constable Tawseef Ahmed Mir, who has been accused of actively working for Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and trying to kill two of his colleagues, and four more employees for alleged links with terror groups, reports Daily Excelsior. The Union Territory administration terminated the services of the employees following a recommendation of a designated committee constituted under Article 311 (2) (c) of the Constitution that allows dismissal without an inquiry in the interest of the security of the State. Under this provision, the sacked employees can only approach the High Court with their plea. The committee comprising officials from Police and State Home Department was constituted to identify and weed out Government employees who have terror links and are working as Over Ground Workers (OGW) for such outfits. According to the official order, it has been learnt that Mir’s father was a terrorist of the Al-Jihad outfit and he was killed during an encounter in 1997. Mir subsequently joined the Police force but covertly started working for terror outfit HM and over the years he became close to several of its terror commanders. He allegedly provided logistics to five terrorists in Shopian District of J&K and in June 2017, he along with terror associates tried to kill a Special Police Officer (SPO). He also allegedly tried to kill a Police constable in Shopian. Later on, he is alleged to have begun recruiting youths for the terror outfit and when his activities became known, a First Information report (FIR) under the Public Safety Act (PSA) was filed against Tawseef at Shopian Police Station. Although he was suspended from the service in July 2017, he was not dismissed. Considering him as a grave threat to national security, the Government has decided to terminate him from service, the order said. Others who faced action are constable Shahid Hussain Rather, Gulam Hassan Parray (computer operator), Arshad Ahmed Dass (teacher) and Sharafat Ali Khan (orderly), it said. Parray was an active member of the banned Jamat-e-Islami (JeI).
