The Khalistan referendum, which was held in London on October 31, turned out to be a damp squib, reports Hindustan Times on November 2. According to UK watchers, the claims of high turnout in the voting to decide whether Khalistan should be carved out of Punjab is being projected by Pakistani media. A majority of the voters were backed by Pakistan, the people cited above said, adding that the total number was less than 2,000. The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), which organised the referendum, failed to get even 100-150 voters in the first half and various outfits associated with the Khalistan movement - like Federation of Sikh organization (FSO) and World Sikh Parliament (WSP) - pressed their workers to come and vote, said UK watchers. The organisers had pressed into service buses to ferry people from different parts of the UK, but even they couldn't bring a large number of people, said the people cited above. The UK watchers further said that there were just 53 buses, which brought people from different parts of the UK to the voting centre. The location was Westminster in central London, but not even 50 people turned up with their private vehicles, they said. The SFJ had called all the Sikhs above the age of 18 to vote in the referendum. Those who indeed came to take part in the exercise shouted pro-Khalistan slogans and carried the Khalistan flag.

Feroz Ahmad, the deputy superintendent of the prisons department, and Javid Ahmad Shah, principal of the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, were sacked from their respective services for allegedly actively working with terrorist outfits.

Conflict victims have condemned the government's failure to amend the Truth Reconciliation Act as ordered by the Supreme Court, reports The Himalayan Times on November 3. They have demanded that no amnesty be granted for serious offences committed during the decade-long Maoist insurgency. Devi Sunuwar, mother of Maina Sunuwar who was killed by security personnel in Kavre during the Maoist insurgency, said Kavre District Court had awarded life term to the members of the Nepali Army who were found guilty, but ironically, she was dragged into a case by the Nepali Army for seeking justice. "We have lost everything in our long battle for justice. We have lost our loved ones and family members in the course of seeking justice, but we have not got justice," she lamented at a stakeholders' consultation meeting on Universal Periodic Review (UPR) organised by Forum for Women, Law and Development. She said none of the political parties had shown sympathy and seriousness towards the plight of conflict victims. Chair of Conflict Victims Common Platform (CVCP) Gopal Bahadur Shah said the UPR had been expressing serious concern about Nepal's failure to ensure justice for conflict victims, but the government was doing nothing to address the concerns of conflict victims. Similarly, Executive Director of Forum for Women, Law and Development Sabin Shrestha said UPR participants had shown serious concern about Nepal's failure to ensure justice for conflict victims.

Even as Police and administration in Malkangiri District of Odisha have intensified their campaign against ganja cultivation, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) support has encouraged those involved in it in Swabhiman Anchal, reports The New Indian Express on November 4. In a two-page letter written in Telugu, ‘secretary’ of Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) of the CPI-Maoist, Ganesh has stated that in the absence of any alternative source of income, weed cultivation has become the mainstay for the tribals. “The police-politician nexus gains through ganja cultivation but the cultivators face loss when their crops are destroyed. Instead of snatching their only source of livelihood, the government should focus on taking steps to make people self-reliant,” added Ganesh. “The increase in seizures of ganja, arrests of peddlers and campaign against cultivation only points to the efficiency of the system in taking action against the wrong-doers,” said Chitrakonda, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Anshuman Dwivedi, adding that Police had recently forfeited INR 30 million property of ganja peddlers in the District.

The Lahore high court on November 6 set aside a trial court's conviction and acquitted six senior leaders of Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) in a terror financing case, reports The Times of India. The Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in April this year had handed nine-year imprisonment each to JuD senior leaders – Prof. Malik Zafar Iqbal, Yahya Mujahid (JuD spokesperson), Nasarullah, Samiullah and Umar Bahadur - and six months' jail term to Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki (brother-in-law of Saeed) after an FIR was registered by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of the Punjab Police. The trial court had found these leaders guilty of terror financing. They had been collecting funds and unlawfully financing the proscribed organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). It had also ordered the confiscation of assets made from funds collected through terrorism financing. “On Saturday LHC's division bench comprising Chief Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti and Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh set aside the trial court's decision in the CTD's FIR 18 of 2020 against the six JuD leaders after the prosecution failed to prove the charge against the appellants beyond reasonable doubt,” a court official said. The official said the division bench allowed the petition of the JuD leaders, observing “the statement of the ‘star prosecution witness' is not reliable as there is no corroboratory evidence.”

National Security Adviser (NSA) Moeed Yusuf said on November 10 that no decision had been taken yet to grant amnesty to members of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), emphasising that the state was "very clear and sensitive" on the issue, reports Dawn. He made the comment during an interview on Dawn News programme Live with Adil Shahzeb. At the outset, Yusuf talked about the Government's decision to hold talks with the TTP, saying the militant group had been receiving support from India and Afghan intelligence for the last 10-15 years. Pakistan had repeatedly told the international community that the Pakistani Taliban had fled to Afghanistan following the Zarb-i-Azb military operation, received sanctuary and were launching attacks from the neighbouring country, the NSA said. "We gave the whole dossier last year containing [details] of which attack, from where, how much money was spent, pictures of receipts, everything," he said, referring to the report revealed by the government in November 2020 containing proofs of India's involvement in terrorism in Pakistan. "When the situation changed [after the Taliban's takeover] ... the Afghan Taliban are not as antagonistic towards Pakistan as former president Ashraf Ghani. Now the discussion started that the TTP does not have the support base that they (Ghani's government) and India provided. "You talk from a position of strength and try to reason. If any Pakistani has strayed from the path and if he [wants to become] a law-abiding citizen according to the laws of Pakistan and the Constitution [...] It means if you have committed a crime or terrorism in Pakistan, you will follow the due process of the law." When the host asked him whether he was referring to an amnesty, the NSA responded by saying that no such decision had been taken yet.

The Supreme Court on November 10 grilled Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan over the Government's inaction against those responsible for the Peshawar Army Public School (APS) attack in 2014 and the ongoing talks with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), reports Dawn. A three-judge bench — headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed, and comprising Justice Qazi Mohammad Amin Ahmed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan — summoned the PM in connection with the case around 10am. He arrived at the court roughly two hours later, just before noon. During the hearing, Justice Amin reminded the PM that Pakistan is not a small country. "We have the sixth largest army in the world," he said. With regards to media reports regarding negotiations with the TTP, Justice Amin questioned whether "we are bringing them [TTP] back to the negotiating table instead of taking action against them?" "Are we going to surrender once again?" Justice Amin asked the premier. As the three-member bench continued to grill the premier, at one point the latter asked for a chance to speak, given that he had been summoned for the hearing. But the judges continued to fire questions at him. CJP Gulzar said, "You are in power. The government is also yours. What did you do? You brought those guilty to the negotiating table." "The satisfaction of the parents [who lost their children in the APS attack] is necessary," said Justice Ahsan addressing the PM. The Supreme Court directed the Government to submit its report within two weeks, but Attorney General Khalid Jawed Khan requested the court to grant additional time. Accepting the plea, the court granted four weeks to the Government. The court inquired from Prime Minister Imran what action had been taken in the case. Chief Justice Gulzar then picked up the Constitution book and said it guaranteed security to every citizen.

The Catholic leadership in the North-East on November 10 warned that the Sri Lankan Government was in the midst of a concerted effort to change the demography of the Tamil majority Trincomalee, Mullaitivu and Mannar Districts by settling Sinhalese from other areas, reports Tamil Guardian. The religious leaders raised the concern whilst meeting with Switzerland’s Ambassador to Sri Lanka Dominik Furgler in Jaffna District. Dr. Fidelis Lionel Emmanuel Fernando of Mannar, Justin Bernard Gnanapragasam of Jaffna, Christian Noel Emmanuel of Trincomalee and Joseph Ponniah were amongst the leaders that met with Furgler. Sri Lanka state sponsored colonisation of the North-East has been a concern for decades and a large driver of Tamil grievances, with fears that the government is attempting to erase the Tamil homeland. Since the end of the armed conflict in 2009 and the subsequent military occupation across the region, such efforts have accelerated.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) party Telangana State committee ‘spokesperson’ Jagan called upon the public to oppose construction of Police base camps in Cherla Mandal (administrative sub-division) in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana, reports Telangana Today on November 11. In a statement released to the media on November 11, he said the Police Department had started construction of a base camp at Chennapuram village in the Mandal and works were on war-footing. Preparations were under way to build another camp in Pusuguppa in the Mandal soon. The Police camps in Chennapuram and Pusuguppa were meant to make a profit from the mineral wealth in the forests by evicting tribals from their forest lands, he said, adding that people should unite and strongly oppose these actions to protect the existence of adivasis. For the last forty years, the Police were working to safeguard the interests of the feudal lords, capitalists and imperialists by completely eradicating the Maoists, who were leading the struggle for political power and autonomy of tribal people, along with all the oppressed communities, he said. Attempts had been made to terrorise and forcibly evict indigenous people living in forests for generations. Corporate forces want to seize full control over ‘jal, jungle and jameen’ by doing away with the existence of tribals, Jagan alleged.

The Jharkhand Police arrested Prashant Bose aka Kishan Da aka Nirbhay aka Kajal aka Buddha aka Maneesh (80), carries a bounty of INR 10 million, is part of the National Investigation Agency (NIA)’s most wanted list, and has been an ideological fountainhead of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) for over five decades, from the Kandra area in Seraikela Kharsawan District of Jharkhand on November 12, reports Hindustan Times. According to reports citing the State Police, his wife, Sheela Marandi, was arrested along with him. Marandi is also a senior member of the Maoist cadre; the only woman in the ‘central committee, CC’, the foremost operational organization of the Maoists; and spent over a decade in jail in multiple cases in Odisha and Jharkhand before she was released from a Rourkela prison in 2016. Kishan Da, for four decades until a change in the Maoist leadership in 2018 -- when Nambala Keshava Rao aka Basavaraju took over from Muppala Lakshman Rao aka Ganapathy as ‘general secretary’ of the banned CPI-Maoist, Bose was largely considered the second most senior Maoist in the country. “When Basavaraju took over from Ganapathy, the idea was to make the leadership a little younger. So both Ganapathy and Prashant Bose took a back seat, but they are clearly the two biggest Maoists India has seen of the past three decades,” a senior intelligence officer said. NIA records describe Bose as five-foot-six, say that he “keeps a light beard to hide a twisted left cheek”, has “false teeth”, is “fond of tobacco”, and wears “bifocal specs”. The investigative agency also shows Bose as a member of the CPI-Maoist ‘politburo’, its highest political body, a member of the ‘central committee, CC’, a non-permanent member of the Central Military Commission (CMC), and secretary of the Eastern Regional Bureau (ERB), which oversees all Maoist activities in seven States including Jharkhand and West Bengal. “[He] reportedly stays in the Saranda forests (Jharkhand). Can be regarded as the No. 2 man in the CPI(Maoist),” the NIA records read.

Four persons of a family, including two women, were hung to death by cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), who also blew up their houses in Manubar village under Dumaria Police Station limits in Gaya District of Bihar late on November 13, reports english.jagran.com. According to Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Law and Order, the incident took place in Dumaria Police Station limits, close to the Jharkhand border area, where members of the CPI-Maoist attacked the house of Saryu Singh Bhokta late November 13 night. Bhokta’s two sons, Mahendra Bhokta and Satender Singh Bhokta, along with their wives, Manojwa Devi and Sunita Devi, were tied, blindfolded, and hung outside their house. A note was left stuck on the wall of the house accusing the family members of being responsible for the death of four Maoists who were killed earlier, allegedly by being poisoned as part of a conspiracy. The note alleges that the four Maoists weren’t killed in an encounter. Charging the four villagers with treason in a ‘kangaroo court’ (People’s organized by the Maoists), the four people were killed. The note concludes that traitors will be punished in the same way. The Maoists also mentioned the names of the four killed earlier, calling the murder of Amresh Kumar, Sita Kumar, Shivpujan Kumar, and Uday Kumar a conspiracy. Questions have also been raised about the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Police officers in the note, adds The Quint. Earlier, South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) had reported that four CPI-Maoist ‘commanders’ were killed in an exchange of fire with a team of Security Forces (SFs) comprising personnel from CRPF, Commando Battalions for Resolute Action (CoBRA) and the District Armed Police in the forests of Manubar village under Dumaria Police Station limits in Gaya District on March 16.

Armed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres allegedly abducted two villagers identified as Santosh Yadav (48) and Jagdish Yadav (45) and gunned them down on suspicion of being ‘police informers’ in Malikhedi village under Baihar Police Station limits in Balaghat District of Madhya Pradesh early on November 13, reports The New Indian Express. The abduction and killing of the two villagers by the Maoists is possibly linked to the killing of Sharda, a wanted woman Maoist, by Police in the same forest in November 2020. Both Santosh and Jagdish were abducted from their houses by four masked Maoists, including two armed women, in Malkhedi village under Baihar Police Station area at around 7 pm on November 12, and their bodies were spotted by villagers the nest day morning. A handwritten note bearing the name of Khatiya Mochi Area Committee of CPI-Maoist was recovered by Police from the spot where the two abducted men were found killed. The note cautioned the villagers not to turn ‘police informers’, failing which they would face a similar fate. The note also warned the young Balaghat Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Tiwari not to use villagers as ‘police informers’. While confirming the horrific killing of the two villagers by armed Maoist cadres, SP, Tiwari said, "The search operations have been intensified in the concerned area. The abduction and killing is possibly connected to last year's police operation in which a wanted Maoist was killed in the same jungles."

Sources also confirmed that the operation was launched as Police had prior knowledge of Maoists camping in the forest. “The group mainly comprised Korchi Dalam [armed squad] members led by Sukhlal, member of the Gadchiroli divisional committee of the CPI(Maoist). But there must have been members of some other formation as well as the encounter was a prolonged one, indicating that there was stiff resistance by the Maoists,” sources said.

While some states lack the legal operational frameworks and necessary 'combating the financing of terrorism' capabilities, there are others that are clearly guilty of aiding and supporting terrorism and willfully providing financial assistance and safe havens to terrorists. While we must enhance capacities of the former, the international community must collectively call out the latter and hold them accountable for their deeds”.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 18 morning launched simultaneous searches at 14 locations in Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh in cases related to furthering the activities of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), and reportedly seized incriminating Maoist literature, laptops, memory cards, pen drives, and some correspondence with the underground Maoists during their searches, confirmed NIA officials in New Delhi, reports The Hindu.

Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry said on November 18 that extremism in Pakistan was not rooted in madrassas, but schools and colleges, where teachers were hired during the 80s and 90s as part of a plot to "basically teach extremism", reports Dawn. Addressing a consultative conference on terrorism in Islamabad, Fawad Chaudhry said that the students of "ordinary schools and colleges" had been involved in notable incidents of extremism in Pakistan and not of madrassahs. Because, he went on, "you closed their (school and college students') minds. If you cultivate a society where an opposing view is immediately declared kufr (heresy) ... how can you present an opposing view?" "And if no opposing views are tolerated, how will you bring a soft change [in society]?" he asked rhetorically. In this regard, Chaudhry gave the example of late Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl leader and religious scholar Maulana Hassan Jan, whom he said was murdered for giving a fatwa that declared suicide attacks forbidden in Islam. Similarly, he added, for such reasons many other scholars were unable to come to Pakistan.

The Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on November 19 said the State and the Government are not fully ready to fight extremism in the country, reports Dawn. “Many people think that the remedial steps taken by us [the government] are inadequate while the truth is that neither the government nor the state is completely ready to fight extremism,” the Minister said in the context of growing extremism in the country. Addressing the launching ceremony of “charter of peace” organised by the Pakistan Institute of Peace Studies, he said the Government had to take a step back in the recent standoff with the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) which virtually blocked many parts of the country for over two weeks during violent protests that claimed the lives of some police personnel. “We have just seen how the government retreated in case of TLP,” he said, describing the situation as indicative of a ticking bomb.

With the Security Forces (SFs) inflicting heavy damage to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) across the Left Wing Extremism, LWE axis, the outlawed outfit is reported to have shifted focus from Swabhiman Anchal to Odisha-Chhattisgarh borders, reports The New Indian Express. The death of ‘central committee, CC’ member Milind Teltumbde and the arrest of Prashant Bose aka Kishan Da, within months of the demise of Akkiraju Haragopal aka RK has changed the scenario. The development activities and consolidation by the SFs in Odisha have only contributed to the dynamics. Sources said the ultras are making attempts to expand their footprint in the Tulasi Pahad forest region on the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border as their activities in Swabhiman Anchal and regions bordering Andhra Pradesh have declined. Ground inputs suggest the red ultras’ unsuccessful attempts in recent months to recruit new cadres from the Swabhiman Anchal area were mainly because of the reducing support by the locals in the region. “Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) was active in Malkangiri and the neighbouring south-eastern coastal State but many reverses took place in recent times as several security camps were set up in the region. The leadership of CPI (Maoist) has shifted focus towards Odisha-Chhattisgarh bordering areas,” said a senior officer of State Police.

As part of the Maharashtra Government-recognised rehabilitation plan for the surrendered Naxals [Left Wing extremists, LWEs], 12 such women were given training in making pickle, papad and floor cleaners, reports India Today on November 21. Jaanki Surendra Narute (31), a tribal woman living in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra, was a Naxalite until 2012, when she surrendered before the Police and vowed to live a life in the mainstream. Another such tribal woman, Saguna Sainath (33), surrendered before the Security Forces (SFs) in 2014. She, too, believes that the Police have helped her find a purpose in life. Jaanki and Saguna are among the 12 women who have recently turned entrepreneurs after receiving training with the help of the Maharashtra Government. As part of the State-recognised rehabilitation plan for the surrendered Naxals, 12 such women were given training in making pickle, papad and floor cleaners, and this training was provided at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Rural Industrialisation in Wardha District. "These twelve surrendered Naxal women were trained in Wardha. We will assist them for some time. We will help them in branding and marketing as well. Not in terms of promoting a product, but in terms of rehabilitating these surrendered women," Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP), Ankit Goyal said.

Border Security Force (BSF) locations along the Line of Control (LoC) will be getting a steel makeover as the BSF embarks on a major project to fortify defences and enhance living facilities for troops, Kashmir Observer reported on November 21. These deployments are called Forward Defence Locations (FDLs), and the border force guards, either jointly with the Army or independently, over 430 kilometres of the total 772-km-long LoC that falls in Jammu and Kashmir. The FDLs are located in extreme forward snow-bound or dense jungle areas of the LoC and are part of India's anti-infiltration grid to thwart militant activities being conducted from across this un-demarcated frontier. Behind the FDLs on the Indian side are multiple rings of the Army's counter-infiltration deployments. Official sources in the security establishment told PTI that the BSF will convert about 115 of its FDLs to large steel (alloy of iron and carbon) compartments with an overall layout of around Rs 35 crore. The decision was taken after BSF Director General (DG) Pankaj Kumar Singh recently visited the FDLs in Kashmir and reviewed their operational preparedness.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) wants to open a political office in a third country is part of one of the three demands the terrorist groups made to Pakistani authorities during their initial talks, Dawn reported on November 21. As per sources, the TTP in a series of meetings with Pakistani officials made three demands that include allowing the opening of a political office in a third country, reversal of the Federal Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and introduction of Islamic system in Pakistan. But Pakistani authorities told the TTP directly and through Taliban interlocutors that these demands were not acceptable. The TTP was particularly told in categorical terms that there was no question of introducing an Islamic system based on their interpretation. Also, the TTP was told that Pakistan is an Islamic republic and the country’s Constitution clearly states that all laws in Pakistan have to be in conformity with the teachings of Islam. The Pakistani officials told the TTP that the state of Pakistan could only allow them to restart their lives if they fulfil certain conditions. Those conditions include accepting the writ of the state, laying down arms, and public apology over the terrorist acts committed by them. If they meet those demands, Pakistan can consider giving them amnesty, paving way for their mainstreaming.

During the cylinder explosion, the tank of Nal Jal Yojana under construction was also damaged. According to the information received, around 60 to 65 Maoists crossed the canal and reached Judahi village, and in the first instance abducted four to five villagers and took them across the canal with threats. The Maoists also assaulted some people and gave them a clear warning that they should go to their homes quietly. For about half an hour, the Maoists roamed the village and pasted the poster. When all the villagers entered their respective homes out of panic, the Maoists first blew up the Panchayat Bhawan by planting a cylinder bomb. After blowing up the Panchayat Bhawan, the Maoists started searching for the guard of the tower installed there, and when the guard did not leave the house, the tower was also set on fire. Eventually the Maoists left with other slogans including ‘Lal Salaam Zindabad’, Whoever will collide with us, will be ‘Choor Choor Ho Jayega’ (shattered).

The Amnesty International on November 22 urged Pakistani authorities to stop forcibly disappearing suspected militants for years without trial, calling the practice abhorrent, reports Dawn. In a report entitled “Living Ghosts”, the rights group describes the difficulties faced by the families of the disappeared in obtaining information about their detained relatives. It says that since the beginning of the United States-led war on terror, hundreds of Pakistani rights defenders, activists, students and journalists have gone missing. “Enforced disappearance is a cruel practice that has caused indelible pain to hundreds of families in Pakistan over the past two decades. On top of the untold anguish of losing a loved one and having no idea of their whereabouts or safety, families endure other long-term effects, including ill-health and financial problems”, said Rehab Mahamoor, Amnesty International’s acting South Asia researcher. She asked Pakistan to disclose the fate and whereabouts of all the disappeared to their families, and release those still being held. The group also urged officials linked to such enforced disappearances to be put on trial.

The Supreme Court (SC) on November 23 upheld the death penalty of Salauddin Salehin, a dreaded militant from the banned Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), who was convicted in the killing of Goni Gomez of Jamalpur in 2004, reports Dhaka Tribune. A five-member bench of the Appellate Division, led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, passed the order after hearing a petition while Deputy Attorney General Biswajit Debnath represented the state. In 2004, Goni Gomez, owner of a pharmacy, was killed by the JMB militants for converting to Christianity from Islam. In 2006, Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal sentenced Salehin and Rakib to death in the case and later the High Court (HC) upheld the sentence rejecting their appeal. Rejected by the HC, the two appealed the death sentence before the SC. The court did not consider the appeal of Rakib, another death-row convict in the case, as he was killed in a gunfight with police in 2015. Salehin has been a fugitive since 2015 when JMB militants abducted him from a prison van, carrying him to Mymensingh jail after a gun attack in Trishal upazila.

On November 24, the European Union (EU) General Court dismissed an application brought by the European Political Subdivision of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to annul the 2019 and 2020 acts maintaining the inclusion of the LTTE on the EU’s terrorist sanctions list, reports Colombo Page. The Court said the Council could rely on the decision by the UK Home Secretary in 2001 to list the LTTE because the Government was a ‘competent authority’ for these purposes and the EU had a duty to review whether the 2001 assessment still justified the listing in 2019. The Court found that the EU had sufficiently justified the listing in 2019 – 2020 and rejected the argument that the LTTE could not be classified as a ‘terrorist organization’ for the purposes of Article 1(3) of Common Position 2001/931.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has expelled its ‘politburo’ member and senior-most leader Kobad Ghandy accusing him of abandoning the 'dialectical and historical materialism, principles of Marxism and class struggle' and 'for selecting the way of getting happiness through mysticism', reports The Free Press Journal on November 30. In a press release dated November 27, 2021, party national ‘spokesperson’ Abhay said that the ‘Central Committee, CC’ was expelling Kobad Ghandy from CPI-Maoist for his anti-party activities, mainly for writing a book named ‘Fractured Freedom- A Prison Memoir’ and releasing it in 2021 after his release from jail in 2019. Abhay also stated that the party had understood that Ghandy was completely separated from Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (MLM). “He (Kobad) also stated that these three aspects of life that have to be woven into any project for change that did not reflect in his 40-year revolutionary life, so put this as goal post before going to change the world. He is also saying that the essence should be grasped from bourgeoisie moral stories. In this way, by selecting the idealist path, he is dishonestly saying that there is no happiness and freedom in the Marxist way of practice that is why Marxism is failed in reaching its target,” Abhay said accusing him of wrongly explaining and commenting on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Ghandy was arrested in New Delhi in 2009 and was released in 2019. He had spent a major part of his prison term in Visakhapatnam Central Jail in Andhra Pradesh.

A senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, identified as Arvind Negi, formerly deputed with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) who was investigating the high profile "terror funding" case against the pro-freedom Hurriyat leadership and several Kashmir-based non-profits is now suspected of espionage and has been arrested by the NIA, Kashmir Observer reported on November 28. Arvind Negi, whose residence in Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh, was raided simultaneously as the NIA carried out searches at the residence and offices of noted activist Khurram Parvez on November 22. “The probe began after an intelligence input that the details of investigation into crucial cases were being shared with (Pakistan’s) ISI by the officer concerned," an unidentified security official said, adding that the allegation is that Negi passed on the investigation's case diary to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Negi, a decorated police officer, was investigating a 2020 case in which the NIA accused Kashmir-based non-profits of being "fronts" to funnel money to militant groups. Khurram's residence was also raided as part of the investigations. The NIA, however, has said Khurram was arrested in a fresh case pertaining to alleged contacts with suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives. The Negi had been presented before a court. “The suspicion is that he traded crucial case documents in lieu of money. Investigating agencies are probing his assets, etc," an unidentified NIA officer said. Digital devices from Negi's residence were seized for forensic examination.

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chandana. Wickramaratne on November 29 appeared before the Colombo High Court Trial-at-Bar where he testified in the case filed against former IGP Pujith Jayasundara over the latter’s alleged failure to take action to prevent the Easter Sunday attacks on April 21, 2019, reports The Morning. When questioned about the responsibilities of the IGP regarding national security, he said that as a member of the National Security Council, the IGP has the powers to maintain law and order. “It is a heavy responsibility. It cannot be confined to a framework. The IGP has a huge responsibility regarding national security,” he said. However, he stated that the actions taken by him as the IGP in any case may be different from the actions taken by the previous IGPs. He added that there was no rule that the actions taken by one IGP should be taken by all other IGPs. Meanwhile, when queried as to whether the information provided by the State Intelligence Service (SIS) to the IGP should be 100% complete in order for an investigation to be commenced, Wickramaratne said that there was no need for the information to be 100% complete. “The IGP should investigate and act on the information received. The IGP should always think that there is an invisible side and therefore, make decisions in consultation with other officers. There are also times when individual decisions have to be made. The IGP should be prepared for such,” he said. The case is to be taken up again on January 18, 2022.

Border Security Force (BSF), Director General (DG) Pankaj Kumar Singh, on November 30, stated, “Drone flights are a cause of concern. The drones that are coming to our country are fairly small and these are by-and-large Chinese-made drones carrying small payloads, reports Hindustan Times. This year alone (2021) there have been 67 drone sightings. We have been able to shoot down two but it is next to impossible task to track and shoot down every moving drone”. Singh said it was hard to intercept, stall and deactivate them all. He further said BSF has deployed anti-drone systems at the border that work reasonably well and that the force is in the process of getting more anti-drone technology. “However, covering the entire 2,300km of the India-Pakistan border with anti-drone technology may not be possible as it will cost a lot,” Singh stated.

Former President Maithripala Sirisena’s legal counsel on November 30 requested the Colombo District Court to nullify the cases filed against his client, seeking compensation over the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks, without going to trial, reports Ada Derana. A total of 284 cases have been filed by various parties before the District Courts of Colombo and Negombo, seeking compensation over the failure to prevent the carnage, despite there being sufficient intelligence of an impending attack. The 102 cases filed before the Colombo District Court seek compensation to the tune of SLR 900 million. Former Head of State Maithripala Sirisena is named as the first defendant in the said cases, while former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, former Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando, former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Pujith Jayasundara and former Director of State Intelligence Service (SIS) are also listed as defendants. Via a motion, President’s Counsel Faiszer Mustapha, who represented the former President, said the Colombo District Court does not have judicial jurisdiction to move forward with the case. He called on the court to nullify the complaint as inception sans consideration since a cause of action has not been disclosed in the complaint in line with the civil procedure code. After considering the submissions, Additional District Judge Chathurika de Silva said a decision will be made on January 7, 2022.
