Gadchiroli District Police arrested 52-year-old Prashant Rahi alias Prashant Sanglikar, an Uttarakhand-based journalist-turned-activist, along with Vijay Teerki of Chhattisgarh, for their alleged links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on September 1, reports The Times of India. Both of them were picked up from the Deori bus-stand in Gondia District while they were "heading to Naxal-stronghold Abujmadh to meet a central committee (CC) member", according to the Police. The two were produced before a Gadchiroli court which remanded them to police custody for 13 days. Sources in Gadchiroli Police said they learnt about Rahi's mission from Hem Mishra, a former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student who was arrested on August 22 from near Morewada village in Aheri, south Gadchiroli. The court also extended the remand of Mishra for another 13 days. Rahi, who was one of the main campaigners during the Tehri dam protest in the '80s and '90s, attended school and college in Mumbai and then moved on to complete his engineering degree from Benaras Hindu University in Uttar Pradesh. His daughter Sikha assisted actor Aamir Khan in Hindi movie Taare Zameen Par.

Governor J B Patnaik on September 1 said that Independent faction of United Liberation front of Asom’s (ULFA-I) leader Paresh Baruah and members of his group will not be “harassed” by security agencies if they come forward for peace talks with the government for finding a lasting solution to the insurgency in Assam, reports The Shillong Times. “Once they decide to come to the negotiating table, then there will be no question of taking action against them. They would not be harassed (by security agencies),” Patnaik told PTI in New Delhi. Expressing satisfaction over progress of peace talks, Patnaik termed the group led by Rajkhowa [Pro-talks faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF)] as “real ULFA” and said there may be some significant announcement “soon” on the outcome of the dialogue held so far.

Six Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured as protestors turned violent during the first day of 36-hour Dhemaji District bandh (general shot down) called by the Anamishing Janagushtiya Sangram Samiti (AJSS) [loosely translated as Non-Mising People Struggle Forum], at Khanamukh area on September 1, reports The Telegraph. Police arrested eight protesters during the bandh. The strike was called against the inclusion of the non-Mising areas in Mishing Autonomous Council (MAC) area list, adds Times of India. AJSS consists of All Tai Ahom Students Union (ATASU) along with 16 other ethnic tribal groups. Further, ATASU Dhemaji unit ‘president’ Manoj Gogoi said, "The government has included some non-Mishing dominated areas under the MAC. It is our rightful demand that these areas be excluded from the council. But, the administration is trying to foil our agitation. So, we have decided to take up a series of protest programmes from Monday in support of our demand. We have also called a 100-hour Dhemaji District bandh from September 16."

The ‘operational head’ of Indian Mujahideen (IM) on Indian soil, Yasin Bhatkal, who was arrested on August 28, claimed during his interrogation that he wanted to fight North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) forces in Afghanistan as an 18-year-old when the United State (US) launched its campaign against Taliban following the 9/11 attacks. Yasin also told interrogators that in the 2012 Pune blasts, where four bombs placed on Jungli Maharaj Road of Pune led to minor explosions, he was trying to experiment with digital timers. He said in order to ensure that the bomb did not fail; he made two circuits, one of which was a back-up to ignite the bomb in case the other failed.

The Chhattisgarh Government has told the Election Commission (EC) that as many as 233 polling stations across 18 Districts face a high Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] threat and it may be risky for polling parties to access them in the coming assembly elections, reports The Times of India on September 2. During the EC's interaction with Chhattisgarh administration in Raipur last week, senior state officials requested the poll panel to consider relocating or rationalizing these polling stations in interior villages across 12 Naxal-infested assembly segments of south Chhattisgarh and also the northern Districts of Sarguja and Rajnandgaon. They sought shifting of these booths to safer locations like the Panchayat/Gram Sabha (village level local self-government institution) office or their amalgamation with polling stations set up in populated areas with road connectivity.

NDFB-IKS warned the ‘colonial rulers of India’ and ‘outsiders’ who have been living in tribal belts and blocks not to go against the interest of the Bodos in the region, reports The Sentinel on September 3. The NDFB-IKS claimed that the Bodos were the aboriginal people of the Western South–East Asia, so called–NE region. In a press statement issued by the spokesman of the NDFB-IKS, BR Ferrenga strongly condemned the statement of All Assam Bengali Youth Students’ Federation (AABYSF) for using harsh word ‘Nefarious’ against them. The NDFB-IKS warned the AABYSF and other organizations who are opposing them, not to do advocacy, as the Indian agents have been working against the Bodos. “Since you are coming as traders in our land (some of them are as labour and so on), do your business. We have no enmity with the businessmen but do not put allegations on the NDFB as kidnapper and extortionist”, Ferrenga said adding that imposition of taxes on the people of Bodoland is their right. So, if someone denies giving Bodoland taxes or betraying them as Indian agent, they would not be excused, he added.

Al Qaeda’s leaders have set up cells of engineers to try to shoot down, disable or hijack US drones, The Washington Post reported on September 3 citing top-secret US intelligence documents. The al Qaeda leadership is “hoping to exploit the technological vulnerabilities of a weapons system that has inflicted huge losses against the terrorist network,” The Washington Post said online. “Although there is no evidence that al Qaeda has forced a drone crash or successfully interfered with flight operations, US intelligence officials have closely tracked the group’s persistent efforts to develop a counter-drone strategy since 2010,” the report said, citing the secret documents. The al Qaeda commanders are keen to achieve “a technological breakthrough (that) could curb the US drone campaign, which has killed an estimated 3,000 people over the past decade,” The Washington Post reported. Drone strikes have forced al Qaeda operatives to limit their movements in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and other places.

The Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) President Sardar Akhtar Mengal on September 2 claimed that operations have been intensified in Balochistan to suppress the voice of Baloch people clamouring for their rights, reports The Express Tribune. Addressing a news conference at Quetta (provincial capital of Balochistan), Mengal said, “Operations have been intensified to stop Baloch people from seeking their legitimate national rights.” He described the action as ‘genocide’ of the Baloch people. The former Balochistan chief minister reiterated his earlier stance that he wanted to take Balochistan out of death and destruction, and seek an end to enforced disappearances and dumping of mutilated bodies at public places. “We decided to participate in the democratic process and field our candidates in a difficult situation,” Mengal said, but expressed reservations over the election results, stating that election results had been tampered with and changed, converting victory of the party into defeat. Meanwhile, he announced dissolving of all party organs, saying all previous party memberships stood cancelled. He directed to launch a fresh membership drive to revitalise the party, following recommendations of BNP-M’s central committee.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led Government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province is set to “restore violent jihadist content in school textbooks”, reports The Times of India quoting a media report from Radio Free Europe on September 3 (today). KP Information Minister Shah Farman told a news conference on August 21 that the Government will "rectify" what it calls "holes and mistakes" in textbooks published by the previous Government led by the Awami National Party (ANP). "What kind of sovereignty, freedom, and Islamic values is this when Islamic teachings, jihad, and national heroes are removed from textbooks? Jihad is part of our faith. We will not back down (from our decision)," he said. The Provincial Government has not said when the changes will be implemented but they were not in time for the new school year that began on September 1, 2013. According to sources, after ANP came to power in the province in 2008, education officials removed Quranic verses preaching jihad or holy war and illustrations depicting weapons or violence. Chapters covering Islamist figures and ideology were replaced with lessons on local poets, philosophers or the region's Pashtun identity. These drastic changes were introduced by the ANP in textbooks used from the first to 12th grade in public schools.

The Central Government on September 3 held the first round of talks with two Koch-Rajbongshi groups separately on their primary demand for a separate state of Kamatapur and suggested that they prioritize their other demand for tribal status above the statehood demand. Both the groups termed this as a positive response from the government. "The talks started on a positive note. We understand that the government cannot give us a separate state immediately. Joint secretary of the Union Home Ministry (MHA) Shambhu Singh told us that we need to first focus on our demand for tribal status and then the other demand for a separate state. He explained that once we have the tribal status, our rights will be protected when the separate state is created in future. We are convinced with the logic," All Koch-Rajbongshi Students Union (AKRSU) ‘president’ Biswajit Ray The first meeting was held with the AKRSU in the morning and the second with the Koch-Rajbongshi Mahasabha in the afternoon at Hotel Ashok in New Delhi. Besides a separate state, the groups also demanded scheduled tribe status for Koch-Rajbongshis in the state and inclusion of their language in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution. “If we do not get our rights through democratic means as we have tried, we will take up arms,” AKRSU ‘president’ Biswajit Ray warned after the meeting with officials adds The Telegraph. “We are not willing to wait for one to three years as the government has told us. We want a speedy settlement,” he added.

A Federal Cabinet Member on September 3 said that the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has “decided in principle” to launch a targeted operation against criminals, target killers and extortionists in Karachi this month, reports The Express Tribune. It is a Hobson’s choice, which is a ‘choice’ with only one option, he said. “The operation will be conducted on a now-or-never basis.” Paramilitary Forces will conduct the operation that aims at eliminating criminal elements from Karachi within six months. The military will operate as a quick response force if needed, the Cabinet Member added. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah will supervise the operation which will be spearheaded by the Rangers. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will take all political parties into confidence by the end of this week, he said. Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, after meeting the heads of all civilian Intelligence Agencies, also requested the Prime Minister to give his final nod to Law-Enforcement Agencies for launching an operation in Karachi, a senior official of the Interior Ministry said. “The premier will announce the proposed plan for the targeted operation in Karachi today (Wednesday)”, he said. According to the proposed plan prepared by Sindh Home Department, the operation will most probably be launched in Lyari Town and Sohrab Goth area of Gadap Town– the most sensitive areas declared by the Agencies, said the official. Then it will be expanded to Manghopir area of Gadap Town, Orangi Town, Korangi Town, Landhi Town, Ranchore Lines in Saddar Town and Ittehad Town in Baldia Town The National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC), a subsidiary department of the Interior Ministry, in its report recommended both the Federal as well as the Provincial Government to cleanse the city. The report further revealed that several Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) factions and al Qaeda elements have moved to Karachi. Such factions are penetrating deeper into the city every passing day, it claims. Therefore, a targeted operation is inevitable whether the military is engaged or not, NCMC Director-General Wing Commander (retired) Tariq Lodhi advised the Government in the report. The militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) is responsible for much of the violence in the city and it needs to be rooted out, stated the report.

Former Federal Minister for Interior Rehman Malik while addressing the media in Karachi on September 3 said, “I invented the term ‘targeted’ operation,” said Malik, adding that an “operation needs to be carried out in south Punjab and Quetta.” He asserted that there was no sectarian divide in Karachi. “The Shia-Sunni conflict has been deliberately created,” said Malik, explaining that the city was being targeted so that the entire country could be harmed. He said that this plan was hatched by separatist forces who didn’t want Balochistan to be part of the country, reports The Express Tribune. He said that militant groups like Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) needed to be targeted at their “roots” and if the Federal Government wants to make any efforts towards curbing terrorism, they should consider its basic parameters.

Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) Sushilkumar Shinde will meet top officials of the nine Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected States this month-end to review counter-Maoist operations and development initiatives on the ground, reports The Times of India on September 5. The chief secretaries and DGPs of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh will brief the Ministry of Home Affairs on the Maoist situation in their respective States and discuss the need to revisit operational strategies. The progress of ongoing development works in the Maoist-infested areas will also be reviewed. Shinde is also expected to take stock of the Centrally-sponsored special schemes, including Integrated Action Plan (IAP), being implemented in most backward regions of the nine States. The Government had recently admitted that the some of the attacks carried out by Maoists in the past were successful due to security forces' failure to adhere to basic policing tactics. "An analysis of recent Naxal attacks discloses that the attacks could succeed mainly due to failure of adherence to basic policing tactics and practices by some of the state police forces," Union Minister of State for Home Affairs R P N Singh had told Parliament. There were 285 incidents of Naxal violence between May and July, in which 117 people lost their lives. Of the deceased, 47 were killed in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand (37) and Bihar (15).

Overland oil shipments to NATO troops in Afghanistan resumed through Pakistan on September 4 under tighter security after a five-month suspension due to attacks, reports Daily Times. Pakistani contractors had stopped driving oil supplies from the port of Karachi (Sindh) on the Arabian Sea to the Torkham crossing on the Afghan border due to frequent attacks on their vehicles. “We resumed these supplies from today after hiring the services of a private firm, which will provide security to our convoys from Karachi to Torkham,” contractor Azad Khan Afridi said. He said contractors had suspended supplies after the Government refused to provide them with extra security. Four oil tankers on September 4 crossed the border into Afghanistan, a senior Pakistani official said. He said it was the first delivery since March. Paramilitary Frontier Corps troops also escorted the tankers to the border, Afridi said.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres severed the limbs of a farmer and then shot him dead near Hajipur, the headquarters of Vaishali District on September 5, for refusing to pay 'tax' to the outfit, reports Hindustan Times. The dismembered body of the farmer, Haresh Singh (50), was recovered--with two bullet wounds and a deep gash on the neck--on the busy Hajipur-Muzaffarpur highway, 8 kms north-east of Hajipur in Bihar. Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the Maoists, riding two motorcycles, tagged the victim and managed to corner him at Dhobighati pond when he was on a morning walk with a co-villager. Vaishali Superintendent of Police (SP) Suresh Prasad Choudhary said the victim had been on the target of CPI-Maoist as his name had figured in the pamphlets of the outfit recently. Maoists regularly serve demand notes to farmers and businessmen, levying different rates of 'taxes' to fill their war coffers. Refusal to pay is often met with violent retribution but not before a few warnings.

Nearly 10,000 children, including girls, have been "recruited" by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) across Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar and Jharkhand to serve as intelligence gatherers or perform chores as cooks and couriers, reports The Times of India. Though these minor recruits — mostly aged between 10 to 15 — don't carry arms, they are given the basic training to handle weapons. While around 3,000-4,000 children alone stand enrolled into "bal sangham" in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, the young hands working for Maoists in Jharkhand and Bihar are organized under 'bal dasta'. The modus operandi of recruiting these minors involves prevailing upon the local tribal families to "give up" one of their children to the CPI-Maoist, by highlighting displacement issues and "police atrocities on their brethren". Usually, the villagers have little choice but to oblige. Not only this, if the children stage an escape back to their homes, their families face a violent reprisal from the Maoists. Intelligence sources told TOI that the main job of the child recruits is to gather information for the Maoists. Bal sangham in the Dandkaranya region has been operational since 1995. In Odisha, the recruitments are mainly undertaken in Koraput and Malkangiri Districts. The Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh, a Maoist front organisation, had recently recruited and inducted several children in Narayanpatna Police Station area of Koraput. In Bihar, the erstwhile Maoist Communist Centre (MCC), now merged into CPI-Maoist, had been recruiting children between eight-14 for its "bal dasta". The CPI-Maoist continues to draft children mainly from Districts like Aurangabad, Rohtas, Kaimur and East Champaran. In Jharkhand, the recruitment of children has been reported from Palamu, Chatra, Lohardagga and Latehar Districts.

Army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on September 6 denied the perception that a military operation is underway in Balochistan, reports Daily Times. He said that the troops are in barracks and not a single soldier is engaged in army operation in the province. Kayani said that Pakistan’s defence lies in the strong and prosperous Balochistan. “ It is not just a coincidence that I’m celebrating the National Defence Day in the Sui town of Balochistan, but it is a matter of importance and honour which the army keeps for Balochistan,” he said during a passing-out parade of cadets at the Military College Sui (MCS). The Army Chief noted that Balochistan is rich in natural resources and the only need is to utilise these for the people’s welfare. Pakistan Army, he affirmed, is fully committed to extend all possible assistance to the Provincial Government to eradicate poverty and control lawlessness. Kayani noted that more than 20 thousands Baloch are part of the Pakistan Army. He said we do not want the Baloch to become labourers but work on the top posts and serve the country and the nation. “The ratio of recruitment from Balochistan in army has been 1.7 in 2007,” Kayani said and added that it has been enhanced to 3.5 with the recruitment of some 12,000 jawans (soldiers) and officials since 2010.

Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) chairman, Hagrama Mohilary on September 7 termed the ongoing statehood agitations by various groups as political gimmick aimed at deriving benefits during the 2014 parliamentary elections, reports The Telegraph. He admitted that his demand for state, too, had a political agenda, like “the others”. Mohilary’s statement comes two days after an 11-member team of the Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF), of which he is the president, and a 13-member team of the Bodo National Conference (BNC) held tripartite talks on “Bodoland” with Central and Assam government officials on September 5. Mohilary said he had to raise his voice for a separate Bodoland as the Bodo people wanted it. “The Bodo public wants Bodoland and as a Bodo person and a leader of political party, I had to join the chorus like the others parties and organisations. Otherwise, the Bodo people will hate me, go against me,” he said. Besides the consistent demand for Bodoland state “on the lines of Telangana”, one of the principal demands of BPF is transferring subjects of finance and law and order to the BTC.BTC has jurisdiction over the Bodo Territorial Autonomous District (BTAD) consisting of four contiguous Districts of Assam — Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri and Chirang

Pakistan on September 7 freed a group of seven Afghan Taliban militants in an attempt to improve its relations with the South Asian neighbour, but risked angering Afghanistan by not handing them over directly to the Kabul authorities, reports Dawn. According to reports both Karzai and the United States (US) want Pakistan to hand the insurgents directly to the Afghan authorities, but a group of seven Taliban was simply allowed to walk out of their cells into Pakistan. “In order to further facilitate the Afghan reconciliation process, Pakistan is releasing seven Taliban detainees,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. A Ministry spokesman separately said all seven, including a senior commander called Mansoor Dadullah, were freed. Asked if they had been handed over to the Afghan authorities or were just released in Pakistan, the spokesman said, “Just released.” The releases received a lukewarm reception in Afghanistan, with the government describing it as a “small step” and calling for the release of more senior Taliban members. Besides Dadullah, the Foreign Ministry statement identified the released fighters as Said Wali, Abdul Manan, Karim Agha, Sher Afzal, Gul Muhammad and Muhammad Zai. “These releases are in addition to twenty-six Taliban detainees released during the last year,” it said.

A United States (US) magazine Foreign Policy has termed Karachi “the most dangerous megacity” in the world, reported The Express Tribune. In a piece on Karachi’s role in the global trade of methamphetamine — an illegal psychostimulant – Foreign Policy cited a murder rate of 12.3 per 100, 000 residents, “some 25 percent higher than any other major city”. Commenting on the recent pace of change in Karachi, the report stated, “From 2000 to 2010, Karachi’s population grew more than 80 percent. That’s roughly equivalent to adding more than New York City’s entire population in just a decade.” The article says that “gangs tied to political parties have long operated in the poorer parts of the city, running extortion rings and land-grab schemes”, asserting that these factors have helped turn conditions in the city to one of the most fertile hotbeds for meth trade.

The Supreme Court (SC) on September 9 sought responses from the Centre and nine States on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging that the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) to wrest control of Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)]-affected areas and undertake development there has not been implemented properly, reports The Times of India. A bench of Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Ranjana P Desai issued notices to Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal on the PIL by Kishore Samrite. The petitioner said though the Centre had decided to extend IAP for four more years with annual allocation of INR 10 billion, it was facing implementation hurdles because of internal differences between various ministries in the Union Government. According to the fresh proposal, each of the 82 IAP Districts would be given INR 50 million annually for the purpose and the remaining INR 5.9 billion would be distributed among the Districts on the basis of their population and area.

All major political parties will meet in Islamabad on September 9 (today) to evolve a consensus on how to tackle the scourge of terrorism and violent extremism in the country, reports The Express Tribune. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is expected to make a ‘big announcement’ on talks with homegrown Taliban at the All Parties’ Conference (APC). “The Prime Minister will make a historic announcement [on the subject of peace talks with militants],” Federal Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told a news conference on September 8. He refused to share the details. “It [the APC] is not just a conference… It is a forum to enable us to come up with a comprehensive and unanimous resolution on counterterrorism strategies,” Nisar said. According to him, the Government has decided to model the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) after the United States (US) Department of Homeland Security – which was created in response to the 9/11 (September 11, 2001) terrorist attacks. “From now on, NACTA’s primary responsibility will be to devise policies to safeguard the country’s territory and respond to militant and terrorist activities [within its borders],” he added. Apart from that, the Government has also decided to raise a ‘Rapid Response Counter Terrorism’ force (RRCT) under NACTA’s command to promptly resolve any terrorist incident in the country, he said.

The Home Department of Karnataka has initiated a Police recruitment drive to fill up a large part of the existing vacancies and thereafter, augment the strength of the Police which has been static for nearly a decade irrespective of the increase in population, reports The Hindu on September 11. Minister for Home K.J. George told The Hindu that “I am keen on ensuring effective policing and it will have a direct impact resulting in a better interface between the people and the police. Of the nearly 20,000 vacancies (largely that of police constables and sub-inspectors), directions have been issued to recruit nearly a half of them right away. Compared to 3,731 Police Constables recruited in 2012, over 8,000 constables will be recruited this year”. It is another matter that recruitment of Police constables and their commissioning into service takes nearly two years (six months to recruit and another one year to train) as they have to be put through a stringent process of training while in the case of sub-inspectors, the period of training is two years. For a population of nearly 63 million, the strength of the Police force is 94,762 which works out to one member of the Police for every 650 of population and is way below the ratio in the neighbouring States of Tamil Nadu (one for every 608), Maharashtra (614) and Andhra Pradesh (642). The effort now is to raise it to at least one Police personnel to a population of 500. At present, there is one Police Training Academy in the State, one training college and four permanent training institutes apart from the 19 temporary police training schools established in various districts and the police commissionerates of Bangalore, Mangalore and Hubli-Dharwad. George said, “We are utilising the services of KSRP [Karnataka State Reserve Police] personnel to maintain law and order. There are 13 battalions of the Karnataka State Reserve Police with 1,000 personnel each but they cannot be put on routine police work. The 13th battalion of the KSRP was commissioned sometime ago after rigorous training at Koppal.”

Pakistan on September 10 decided to release Afghan Taliban’s former ‘second-in-command’ Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar to help kick-start the stalled peace and reconciliation process in neighbouring Afghanistan, reports The Express Tribune. “In principle, we have agreed to release him. The timing is being discussed. It should be very soon …I think within this month,” Sartaj Aziz, the Prime Minister’s (PM) Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs, told Reuters in an interview. However, he added that Mullah Baradar would not be handed over to the Afghan authorities and would be instead released straight into Pakistan. Taliban ‘spokesman’ Zabihullah Mujahid said, “We hope that his imprisonment is over”. A senior Pakistani official told The Express Tribune that Mullah Baradar’s possible release was the result of months of painstaking discussions among Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United States (US). Although in principle the decision has been taken to free Mullah Baradar, modalities were being worked out. One of the options is to transfer Mullah Baradar to Saudi Arabia or Turkey where he could lead discussions with the Karzai administration as well as the US.

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Syed Khurshid Ahmed Shah on September 10 said the Government should hold result-oriented dialogue with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to curb terrorism and restore peace in the country. He said, “There are two types of Taliban: Afghan and Pakistani. It is easy to negotiate with the Afghan Taliban as compared to the Pakistani, because there are around 59 groups operating in the country,” reports Dawn. Shah, the leader of opposition in the National Assembly, said the PPP Government had brought Sufi Muhammad to the negotiating table for 13 times, but all efforts went in vain as many agreements reached in the talks were not even adhered to by the Taliban themselves. He urged the Government to devise a mechanism to check the mushroom-growth of seminaries in the country. “The Government will have to take strict decisions to improve the law and order situation in the country. The PPP will support the Government in this regard as it has backed the Government's stance at the All Parties Conference (APC),” he added.

The JVP General Secretary added, "We believe the present government uses communalism, encourages it and sponsors groups that spread communalism and religious differences to maintain its power and undermine the opposition. We therefore don't believe that the present government would or could ever solve the national question. Also, the TNA's attempt doesn't also do anything to solve the national question but instead strengthens communalism and helps the government to take advantage to use its communalism."

He claimed that it is a strategic document that is designed to prevent Tamil and Sinhalese communities forging cordial relations in the aftermath of the defeat of terrorism that kept the two communities away from each other for three decades. The minister also said one should not forget that though the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is eliminated from Sri Lankan soil, the separatist ideology still lurks outside the country.

An unnamed Intelligence Bureau (IB) official said that Yasin and Riaz Bhatkal had close connections with Jam-I-Ayyathul Ansarul Muslimeen (JIAM) which is the Kerala module of Indian Mujahideen suspected to be operating in rural parts of Ernakulam, Kannur and Kasargod Districts, reported New Indian Express on September 12. “JIAM is a Kerala-based module of Indian Mujahideen which also has links with Lashkar-e-Toiba, supported by Inter Services Intelligence of Pakistan. The Kerala-based terror module worked under Indian Mujahideen but later decided to operate under the name, JIAM. This module was behind the July 25, 2008 serial blasts in Bangalore. Abdul Sattar, a native of Kannur, made 15 timers, the explosives for which were provided by Riaz. JIAM has strong roots in Kannur, Ernakulam and Kasargod districts, even though the recruits are working for different outfits including political parties,” IB officials added.

Additional Attorney General (AAG) Tariq Khokhar on September 11 told a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry that missing person Masood Janjua and one Faisal Faraz were killed in an attack by al Qaeda in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Daily Times. The court was further informed that there were evidences that the deceased Janjua and Faraz had links with al Qaeda. The AAG told the court that Masood Janjua was not in the custody of Intelligence Agencies. He said that a former Inter Services Intelligence top officer had, in his statement before the inquiry commission probing the missing persons’ case, said that Masood Janjua had links with al Qaeda and had been killed in an attack in Waziristan. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry directed the AAG to present credible evidences to prove this claim. Amna Janjua, wife of Masood Janjua, also appeared before the court and stated that the missing persons’ commission had taken a U-turn after the statements of the Intelligence Agencies. The court directed the AAG to submit a detailed report about the evidences in the case in the next hearing and adjourned the case until September 13 (tomorrow). Khokhar told the three-member bench that according to a statement of former Deputy ISI Director General (DG) Major General (retired) Nusrat Naeem, which he gave on 30 June, 2011, Masood Janjua and Faisal Faraz were in contact with a Pakistani named Tariq, who was working with the United States (US) as an agent of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He said that Tariq had arranged a meeting with al Qaeda leader Sheikh Saad Al Misri, who was on the hit list of the CIA. The AAG also said that through Masood Janjua and Faisal Faraz a laptop fitted with a satellite chip was delivered to the al Qaeda leader. When the al Qaeda came to know about the chip they killed Masood Janjua and Faisal Faraz. However, Amina Janjua, who is also chairperson of the Defence of Human Rights, rejected General Naeem’s statement.

An Intelligence Agency detained seven al Qaeda militants from Punjab University Campus in Lahore District on September 11, reports The Express Tribune. The militants include al Qaeda’s suicide squad, their local handler and two of their technical collaborators. Out of seven al Qaeda members, four have taken special jihadi training in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), while the other three are also experts in different fields with five having expertise in information technology/communication, Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), diploma associate engineer in automobile technology and media coordination. The detained collaborators are local shopkeepers from an electronic market. They allegedly provided the electronic gadgets, used in suicidal missions, according to sources familiar with the matter. From their physical appearance it is clear that some of the detained men are foreigners, though the others are drawn from the provinces of Sindh, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. During the course of interrogation, it was revealed that the squad members had succeeded in preparing an explosive suicide vehicle which is still present in Lahore at an unidentified location with a fake licence plate. Though the vehicle poses a potential threat to citizens, it hasn’t been impounded by Law Enforcement Agencies as yet. A senior serving Intelligence Agency officer, who also led operations in which wanted al Qaeda figures Ahmad Khalfan Ghalani and Naeem Noor Khan alias Abu Talha were arrested, said that Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) has been directly and indirectly involved in providing accommodation to al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan. Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, supposedly No 3 in the al-Qaeda hierarchy was arrested in March 2004, from the house of a women’s wing leader of the JeI in Rawalpindi District, while another al Qaeda leader Abu Zubaida was arrested in the same year from Faisalabad District, and was given shelter by Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani held a meeting on September 11 to discuss the post-All Parties Conference (APC) situation wherein they discussed implementation of the APC resolution and deliberated upon national security matters with special focus on talks with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), reports The Express Tribune quoting the Prime Minister’s media office. The PM and the COAS exchanged notes over the process and strategy to initiate the dialogue process with militants. The participants at the APC had agreed that talks should be held with militants as a measure to tackle terrorism in Pakistan. It was the Prime Minister’s note that Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman could be taken aboard as a facilitator to begin the talks. The Army Chief, however, noted that all prominent religious leaders should be consulted, particularly those having close contacts with Taliban leadership, adding that the Intelligence Agencies were ready to facilitate in this regard. The COAS said this while referring to the key role of Maulana Sami-ul-Haq, who is also known as ‘the father of Taliban’. It should be noted that Maulana Sami’s Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) had not been invited in the APC. His party featured nowhere in the Government’s plans of initiating dialogue with the TTP. Earlier, the PML-N Government did invite Sami for facilitating the Government’s intended peace negotiations but after receiving JUI-F chief‘s reservations, the Government removed Sami-ul-Haq’s party from its preferred list of facilitators for talks with the militant outfit.

Punjab University Vice-Chancellor Professor Doctor Mujahid Kamran has claimed in his book, titled, ‘9/11 and The New World Order’ that the families of al Qaeda leaders, including Ayman-al-Zawahri and some members of slain leader Osama Bin Laden family, were shifted to Central Asia through NATO airplanes to destabilise the region, reports The News on September 12 (today). The PU VC said that American researchers had proved that al Qaeda was an asset to Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He said that America’s Centre for Public Integrity had revealed that the United States (US) rulers, including George Bush, Condoleezza Rice and Dick Cheney, made up 1,000 lies just to impose war on Iraq. According to him, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had said that they had no substantial proof of involvement of Osama bin Laden in September 11, 2001, (also known as 9/11) attacks. He said that under Operation Gladio, American CIA and NATO were involved in terrorist activities in Europe for 20 years. He said that Pakistan’s cooperation with the US after 9/11 had posed serious threats to its survival.

The cease-fire is the basic fundamental ingredient of confidence between our two nations; and that cease-fire must be respected, the LoC must be respected,” Khurshid added.

Amid growing demands for new states in the aftermath of the Telangana decision, a little known outfit, Maraland Democratic Front (MDF), has now demanded the division of Mizoram, reports The Telegraph on September 16. MDF, a political outfit formed in the 1970s, wants the Mara Autonomous District Council under the Sixth Schedule to be declared a Union Territory. The district council in south Mizoram lies at the tri-junction of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Less than 1,500 square km in area but in an ethnically and strategically important location, a demand from there has been noticed by North Block. There are apprehensions in a section of the government about the MDF’s language and its fallout in neighbouring councils. The Lai Autonomous Council, sources said from Aizawl, is thinking on similar lines. “We are on the verge of demanding Union Territory status,” said an official of the Lai council. Comprising primarily of Maras and some Chakmas, the MDF recently approached Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister (UHM) Sushil Kumar Shinde. In a memorandum to Singh, the MDF alluded to its refusal to support the Mizo insurgency while the Mara area was cut off from the Centre for two decades. The group has said after remaining 61 years in the district council, “upgrade of our political status to Union Territory is our political right”. Preservation of identity is the rationale for the demand.

Several unattached timers, batteries, detonators and shrapnels have also been recovered from various hideouts.

One person from Assam is now a key member of the terrorist outfit Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) but there was no report of him visiting the State in recent years, The Assam Tribune September 16. It is also suspected that he may have encouraged others from the State to join the outfit. Highly placed Police sources stated that the LeT leader from Assam is known as Rakib and he hails from Rangiya area. He left Assam in 1992 to join the terrorist group and now he is known to be a key member of the outfit. However, his whereabouts are not known and according to reports available with the police and security agencies, he never operated in the State. But the possibility of Rakib getting in touch with youths from the State from outside to motivate them to join the outfit cannot be ruled out. Police also suspects that a number of boys from the State have joined terrorist outfits like LeT, Indian Mujahidin (IM) and Harkat ul Mujahedeen (HuM). “We have some inputs that a few boys from Assam joined outfits, like LeT, HUM and IM but it is a fact that they were never sent to Assam to launch operations. Normally, those outfits never engage youths to operate in their own States,” sources added. Sources revealed that there were reports of movements of IM members through Assam, but they have not been able to indulge in any major act of violence in the State.

Pakistan is set to release this week Abdul Ghani Baradar, a former Taliban commander often described as the insurgents’ ex-second-in-command, said Sartaj Aziz advisor to Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, reports The Express Tribune. Sartaj Aziz said that Baradar “will be released this week, possibly in a day or two”. The Afghanistan Government has long demanded that Islamabad free Baradar, whose arrest in January 2010 saw Pakistan accused of sabotaging initiatives to bring peace in war-torn Afghanistan. His release would bring to 34 the number of Taliban detainees that Pakistan has released since last year, in what Afghan officials hope will encourage peace talks with the insurgents. However Aziz, a senior diplomat, said Baradar would not be handed over to Kabul. “It is at his (Baradar’s) discretion, whether he chooses to live here or anywhere of his own choice,” Aziz said. “Handing him over to Kabul would affect the reconciliation process with the Taliban,” he added. Aziz did not say if Baradar had expressed where he would want to go. “We have to follow the Taliban’s desires and we would carry out (his release) in accordance with what they want,” he said.

Documents seized from an alleged Naxal-[Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] courier Hem Mishra, a student of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), have revealed that the country's premier educational institute is becoming a hub of LWEs, security agencies have claimed, reports The Times of India on September 18. Sources in the team quizzing Mishra, arrested from Aheri in Gadchiroli District on August 22, claim they believed there was at least one active party cell of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in this institution with students as its cadres. A former PhD student of history from Assam, earlier an active member of party cell, is now part of the Naxals' core team based at Abujmadh in Chhattisgarh. Sources claimed that the cadre had been christened by Naxals as Navin. "Navin was present on Facebook. He might have got some inkling about security agencies stalking him in cyberspace. The Facebook account was soon deleted but we believe he would be present through pseudonyms in social networking systems to remain in touch with his colleagues," said a senior officer.

The Meghalaya United Alliance (MUA), consisting of the legislators of Congress, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Independents has struck down the demand of 10 pressure groups to implement ILP system in the State. Briefing reporters after a meeting of MUA held at his official residence in the night of September 17, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma asserted that issue of illegal migration cannot be addressed by ILP. The meeting analysed the report of the High Level Committee (HLC) on Influx which favoured implementation of ILP. However, the MUA rejected the recommendation of the Committee. Sangma said in the context of addressing influx effectively, Government would bring the new legislation, Tenancy Act which was unanimously accepted by the members of MUA. Ruling out possibility of talks with 10 pro-ILP groups, Sangma has hinted that the Government could invoke the ban on bandhs (shut down strike) and other forms of agitations as ruled by Supreme Court and Gauhati High Court, reports The Shillong Times on September 19.

The Sangai Express reports on September 18 that denying involvement in the September 13 bomb blast at Nagamapal area that claimed the lives of nine migrant workers, coordination Committee (CorCom) of six militant groups said the explosion being deliberately triggered by Indian agents to lay the blame on insurgent outfits cannot be ruled out. A statement issued by its media coordinator, H Poirei said CorCom considers that the blast merits clarification as there is no change on the conglomerate's stand that non-locals should have left Manipur by December 2012. As the CorCom declaration still remains, there might be speculation from certain quarters about involvement of constituent partners in the recent blast, Poirei explained while expressing that Government of Manipur needs to work out a mechanism to restrict entry of non-locals into the State in order to prevent similar incidents.

Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) on September 17 reserved its judgment in the December 27, 2007 Benazir Bhutto murder case as attorneys for defence and prosecution completed their arguments, reports The Express Tribune. When the hearing started, the former military ruler and President General (retired) Pervez Musharraf’s lawyer Ilyas Siddiqi urged the court to re-record the statements of the witnesses. “Musharraf was abroad when the statements were recorded. It is his legal right that statements of the witnesses be recorded in front of him,” he said. However, Malik Muhammad Rafiq, the lawyer representing former Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Saud Aziz and Superintendent Police (SP) Khurram Shehzad, objected to it, saying that it would further delay the case. Barrister Rafiq said the case had already been pending for the last five years. “First Punjab Police carried out investigations then it was transferred to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) under the supervision of former Federal Minister for Interior Rehman Malik and now restarting the trial would mean further delay,” he said. FIA special prosecutor Chauddy Azhar Ai told the Court that the former FIA public prosecutor in the case Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali had already been killed and witnesses had been convinced with much difficulty. “Recording their statements once again will disappoint the witnesses while a retrial will also give benefit to the killers of Chaudhry Zulfiqar,” he added. The court after completion of arguments put aside the decision over retrial of the case and deferred the hearing till October 1, 2013.

IJT Punjab southern nazim (organiser) Rai Haq Nawaz and IJT nazim of Punjab University Abdul Muqeet accused the Vice Chancellor of “trying to defame Jama’at” to hide his own inefficiency. “IJT has no connection with any banned organisation. The university administration is shifting the blame on the IJT to save its own skin,” Haq Nawaz said. “The VC has hired a personal militia for his protection but there are no guards for the hostels,” Muqeet added. The administration and hostel wardens give refuge to illegal residents at the hostels and then use the name of IJT, the office bearers said.

The Capital Police on September 17 found a dead body of a militant, identified as Haris Khan, one of the four accused in the May 3, 2013 assassination of Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) prosecutor handling the 26/11 Mumbai attack case and the Benazir Bhutto murder case from Islamabad, reports Dawn. During the May 3 attack Constable Farman Ali, the prosecutor’s guard belonging to the Frontier Corps, also fired at the attackers. As a result, an attacker’s cell phone and pistol fell on the road, but all four managed to escape. During the ambush, Abdullah Omar Abbasi and Haris Khan were injured when the prosecutor’s guard retaliated, but they managed to escape. The Police said the two injured were first taken to the Gilani Manzil located in G-15 where they were given treatment. Later, Abbasi was shifted by the militants to the Quaid-i-Azam International Hospital, from where he was arrested on June 13, 2013. On the other hand, Haris Khan remained at Gilani Manzil for a few days and was treated by Syed Mujahid Gilani, the nephew of Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) chief Asiya Andrabi, Police said. However, due to excessive blood loss, Haris Khan succumbed to his injuries a few days later. His body was then shifted to Adil’s house where it was buried in the lawn. The police, accompanied by an Assistant Commissioner, a magistrate and a medico-legal officer, went to Adil’s house and dug out the body. The remains were then taken to a hospital for legal process, including autopsy and DNA test, to establish identification.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) plan to limit the use of abduction as a tactic to mount pressure on the Government to extract political benefits as well as release of their jailed comrades, reports The Times of India on September 19. The targets for abduction would be chosen carefully that would get the Government to surrender. The target will not be held hostage for too long or released if the Government does not give into the left-wing extremists' demands. Instead, the hostage will be killed shortly after abduction. This was decided at the recent fourth Central Committee (CC) meeting held after a gap of two years. In the CC meeting resolutions, Maoists said, "When we want to get important leaders released, we choose the target (class enemies) that would get the government to surrender. We must not give lot of time to the government to fulfil the demand. When we understand the government is taking an adamant stand, we must annihilate the people's enemy in our custody and withdraw from our area of struggle," The Maoists have also resolved not to appoint mediators to negotiate with the Government on their behalf. The CC meeting resolution said, "If we feel it is necessary, it would be better not to appoint liberal democrats (such as B D Sharma, Hargopal etc)". The Maoists believe mediators who work for them get branded and "they would face some limitations in working with other intellectual and democratic sections". Besides, these mediators would be vulnerable to harassment by police and security agencies. CC meeting documents reveal Maoists admitted the abductions have dented their image and turned many against them. The Maoists have also decided that senior party leaders must be involved in all abductions and take responsibility.

The joint intelligence committee of the Centre has accused Bihar Government of being soft on the CPI-Maoist resulting in a 41% increase in killings by Maoists this year compared to the previous year, reports The Times of India. The intelligence agencies have informed the Centre and the Prime Minister that Bihar Government has not taken effective steps to control Red terror. A report submitted by the committee says, "There has been continual deterioration in most parameters of the counterinsurgency grid in Bihar. Bihar government is soft towards the Maoists." The report has mentioned that 38 persons, including 25 civilians and 13 securitymen, were killed this year, compared to 25 last year. It says while there has been a substantial decline in Maoist violence in the country, Bihar has registered an increase. "Our concern is not only a sharp increase in security forces' casualties but also the fact that not a single Maoist cadre has been killed in counterinsurgency operations this year, compared to five during the same period last year," the report says. The performance of anti-Maoist grid in the state has been decidedly weak. While 17 encounters with Maoists took place in 2011, the number of cross-firings between security forces and Maoists decreased to 12 in 2012 and till August this year, only six encounters took place in Bihar. Moreover, recovery of weapons has also shown a downward trend - from 171 in 2011 to 47 in 2013. Though 32 out of 38 Districts of Bihar are Maoist-affected, the Maoist violence this year was confined to only 16 Districts. The most affected areas are Gaya, Aurangabad and Jamui Districts.

An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on September 18 acquitted Rana Mohammad Faqir of the charge of attacking a convoy of former President General (retired) Pervez Musharraf in 2003, reports Dawn. Despite the acquittal, Faqir refused to leave the jail fearing that he would be abducted by Security Agencies, but he was persuaded by his family to come home. “We had requested the ATC judge to provide security to my father from Adiala jail to our residence in Ghauri town, Islamabad, but he advised us to approach the City Police Officer,” Faqir’s son Rana Mohammad Waseem said. The prosecution quoted investigators as saying that Faqir had parked his explosives-laden vehicle outside the Jinnah Park in Rawalpindi but it failed to start when the convoy of Gen Musharraf was passing through the area. An First Information Report (FIR) of the attack was registered by Police in December 2003 and Faqir was arrested in 2007.

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on September 18 was informed three previously ‘missing’ persons have been identified and shifted to internment centres, while seven others have been released, reports The Express Tribune. Major Ali from the Ministry of Defence, Major Muhammad Ayaz of the Frontier Constabulary, Additional Advocate General Waqar Ahmad Khan and Farooq Shah represented the Government in front of a two-member bench comprising PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan and Justice Nisar Hussain. The representatives added that in addition to the released and identified persons, ground work was being laid to identify the other missing persons. The bench, however, rejected the report presented by the Ministry of Defence. It told both lawyers the matter needed to be taken up with the General Headquarters (GHQ) to ascertain whether people were in detention without any charges, adding those who are suspected to be guilty should be tried under the law. Further, the PHC issued notices to a brigadier, two majors and a retired colonel of the Pakistan Army’s Abbottabad Medical Record Wing (MRW) over the arrest of a Lance Naik in the same department.

The Supreme Court on September 18 issued notices to the Federal and Balochistan Governments on an appeal moved by former President General (retired) Pervez Musharraf against the Balochistan High Court’s (BHC) rejection of his bail application in the August 26, 2006, Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case. A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Nasir ul Mulk had taken up General Musharraf’s appeal. An FIR No26/2009 was registered against Musharraf under Section 302, 304 of the Pakistan Penal Code for his alleged involvement in the 2006 killing of Bugti along with others. Advocate Ibrahim Satti representing Musharraf had challenged the July 30, 2013 order of the BHC, which had rejected the bail plea with a ruling that the applicant had not been produced before the trial court or in the territorial jurisdiction of the trial court in Balochistan. “For the reasons, the bail application is rejected…the applicant may repeat his bail application before the trial court after shifting of his custody within the territorial jurisdiction of the trial court, which shall decide on its own merits accordingly,” the BHC stated in its order. Advocate Satti explained before the Supreme Court that his client could not appear before the BHC for security reason and, therefore, his bail had been rejected by the High Court. He said that Musharraf had been detained for the last three months, and requested the bench to grant him bail. The Supreme Court ordered the Federal and the Balochistan Governments to furnish their replies in 10 days.

Uzair, who came back on the night of September 19, 2013, is expected to fill in the gap in leadership left behind by Zafar Baloch, who was killed in a targeted attack allegedly due to some internal rifts in the party. “Soon after he [Uzair] returned, he roamed on the streets of Lyari on a motorcycle to show his presence and power,” said a resident of the Lyari Town. “During his visit, he avoided his close aides, including Ladla.” The aim behind roaming on the streets was to warn the perpetrators to stop hatching conspiracies against him, he added. According to sources privy to the matter told media that Uzair is likely to surrender before the Rangers soon. “To surrender is a not big deal but the main issue is that his life is at risk,” said one Naz. She said his surrender is on the table but only if the Government and Law Enforcement Agencies guarantee protection for his life. However, Police officials refused to confirm if Uzair was present in Lyari.

Their participation in the electoral process signals a sense of reconciliation among sections of the Tamil population and a willingness to engage with the Rajapaksa regime in its bid to usher in democracy in war-ravaged areas.

Balochistan Chief Minister Doctor Abdul Malik Baloch on September 20 said that his party had no interest other than resolving the issue of missing persons’ and stated that Baloch insurgents and all the other stakeholders are to be invited to the negotiation table to bring peace in the troubled province, reports Daily Times. While talking to the journalist Baloch said, “I am confident that people of Balochistan believe we don’t have any other interest except to see militants at the table to restore peace and currently we’re making efforts to restore their trust”. Though, he is interested in restoring peace in the region but not getting any assistance and support from the Federal Government. The claims of forming a powerful and authoritative cabinet in the province are gradually disappearing. The performance of Provincial Government is apparently disappointing, as the incidents of abduction of political workers, recovery of bullet-riddled bodies, upsurge in sectarian violence and target killings continue unabated. Sources from ruling National Party (NP) said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership was an obstacle in cabinet formation as it wanted to give some share to its coalition partners in the cabinet as other coalition partners have assumed offices of the Governor and the Chief Minister.

On September 20, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Nabil Gabol was named in the September 18, 2013 murder case of proscribed People’s Amn Committee (PAC) ‘spokesperson’ Zafar Baloch, drawing severe criticism from MQM, reported Dawn. City division Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Faisal Bashir Memon said that a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged against Gabol on a complaint of Mohammad Ali Baloch, the father of the slain leader. The case was registered at the Kalakot Police Station under Sections 302 (premeditated murder), 109 (abetment) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistan Penal Code. The SSP said that four other unidentified suspects were also booked in the case. However, MQM’s Rabita Committee while condemning the claim has demanded the Federal Government to take notice of the ‘fake’ case against the MQM lawmaker and withdraw the FIR forthwith. “Falsely involving Nabil Gabol in the murder case of Zafar Baloch is continuation of political victimization,” said a statement.

On September 20, the Federal Cabinet approved extraordinary powers for the Paramilitary Rangers in an effort to stamp out crimes from Karachi, reports The Express Tribune. The Paramilitary Force has already been mandated to carry out surgical operations against criminal gangs in the city. The cabinet approved the Anti-Terrorism (Third Amendment) Bill, 2013 which will now be tabled in Parliament for approval. Minister for Science and Technology Zahid Hamid presented the bill which includes recommendations of a special committee formed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. According to the draft Bill, “[the] Rangers after prior warning as considered necessary against persons committing a terrorist or scheduled offence will be authorised to shoot or order to shoot before they are fired upon as provided under the existing law.” Other than that, the “draft bill provides for law-enforcement agencies the powers of preventive detention up to three months for any person concerned in any offence under the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 relating to security or defence of Pakistan and public order relating to target killing, kidnapping for ransom and extortion. The draft amendment also provides for protection of witnesses, judges and prosecutors,” says a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office. This means from now on, extortion, kidnapping-for-ransom and target killing – the three crimes which have shaken Karachi the most – will be tried under the Anti-Terrorism law. For the protection of judges and witnesses, the bill proposes a slew of measures which include using screens to shield witnesses, judges and prosecutors from public view; conducting trials on jail premises or through video-link; investigation and trial in another province. The bill also proposes measures for expeditious disposal of cases by the courts.

The Supreme Court during hearing of the suo motu case on September 20 on the deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry ordered the Police and Rangers to arrest 1,500 suspected terrorists and 33,000 absconding criminals still at large in Karachi, reports The Express Tribune. He asked the Federal and Provincial Governments to ensure the ongoing ‘targeted operation’ in Karachi continues to be effective – unlike operations in the past. Sindh Advocate General Khalid Javed Khan filed a report on behalf of the Police Inspector General (IG), showing a comparative data of crimes since the targeted operation was launched. The bench asked Khan and the Police IG to ensure this action against the criminals is carried out efficaciously so that this effort does not fail like previous ones. Advocate Shahid Anwar Bajwa filed a report on the action initiated by the Rangers against criminals, but sought confidentiality as well because it contained the political affiliations of the accused. In addition, prosecutor-general Shahadat Awan disclosed that there are 110,549 absconders and proclaimed offenders across the province, including 33,665 in Karachi alone. They’ve absconded during the last five years, that is, the tenure of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led Government, he submitted. Moreover, there are 1,500 suspected terrorists who are also on the run, he added. The Supreme Court took exception to Sindh Home Secretary’s failure to inform the bench about the number of arms licenses issued in Karachi, reports The News. The Secretary said exact number of arms licenses were not known as the administration was still collecting data in this regard. The bench ordered the Sindh and Federal Governments to submit their reply after going through Ramzan Bhatti Commission as the court will give ruling after reviewing the report of the one-man Commission. The Supreme Court said that incidents of extortion, land grabbing and targeted killings were aimed at taking hold of Karachi.

In a significant development that may help break the impasse in the Afghan reconciliation process, Pakistan is set to free a former top aide of the elusive Taliban spiritual leader, Mullah Omar, on September 21 (Saturday), reports The Express Tribune. “In order to further facilitate the Afghan reconciliation process, the detained Taliban leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, will be released on September 21,” reads a terse statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on September 20. It did not, however, provide any details. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said that Mullah Baradar’s release was meant to send a clear message to a sceptical West and Karzai administration that Pakistan was sincere in facilitating an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process. “Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will highlight Pakistan’s contribution for peace and stability in Afghanistan during his address to the UN General Assembly later this month,” he added. In Kabul, the Afghanistan Government welcomed the announcement, saying Mullah Baradar’s release would help peace efforts after 12 years of war. “We welcome that this step is being taken,” Aimal Faizi, spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Friday. “We believe this will help the Afghan peace process. “This is something we have been asking for a long time. It was on the agenda when the president visited Pakistan, so we are pleased.” Karzai made a two-day trip to Islamabad last month in a bid to overcome a series of public rows that have hampered efforts to end the war in Afghanistan as US-led NATO combat troops withdraw.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, a former Afghan Taliban ‘second-in-command’ released in Pakistan on September 21, is being kept in a safe house in Karachi, The Express Tribune reported on September 23. Afghanistan sees Baradar as a respected figure who could use his influence among the Afghan Taliban to help coax moderate commanders to the negotiating table and convince warring parties to stop fighting after more than a decade of war. The whereabouts of Baradar, one of the founders of the Afghan Taliban movement, has been the subject of speculation since Pakistan announced he would be released some time on September 21. There has been no official confirmation of his movements. “Mullah Baradar was flown to Karachi from Peshawar early on September 22. He is being kept in a safe location in Karachi,” one Pakistani intelligence source said. A Government source with knowledge of the situation said separately: “He will not be sent to Afghanistan. He is in a safe house in Karachi. … Everything will be decided between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United States.” The source said Pakistan decided to announce his release to coincide with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to New York this week where he is expected to meet US President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. “The timing of his release was tied to his (Sharif’s) departure so that Pakistan is seen as doing all it can (for the Afghan peace process),” said the government source. Baradar was once a close friend of the reclusive, one-eyed Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, who gave him his nom de guerre, “Baradar” or “brother”, and still enjoys much respect among Taliban fighters.

Police on September 21 demolished minarets at an Ahmadi place of worship Kabutranwali Ibadatgah in Sialkot District, after a group of protesters threatened to do so themselves, reported The Express Tribune. The Police approached the community on September 20, 2013 after a local cleric Abdul Hameed Chishti belonging to Jama’at Ahl-e-Sunnat Pakistan (JAS) complained that three worship places for Ahmadis had features that resembled mosques, namely minarets and verses from the Quran written on the walls. The minarets and verses were covered up, apparently to the Police’s satisfaction, but a mob led by former Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) Minister of Religious Affairs Sahibzada Hamid Raza stopped at and demanded that the minarets, covered by cement, be razed. The Police did so. The group of protesters is now demanding that similar action be taken against two other worship places within a couple of days. The cleric whose complaint led to the action said that he had approached the Police after he attended a Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Conference on September 7, 2013 marking the anniversary of the passage of anti-Ahmadi laws, where a speaker said that Ahmadis were not allowed to build minarets or use verses from the Quran at their places of worship. Sections 298-B and 298-C of the Pakistan Penal Code outlaw Ahmadis from calling their place of worship a masjid, claiming to be Muslims or preaching their faith to others.

The Shillong Times reports that the Garo national Liberation Army (GNLA) has called dawn-to-dusk bandh (shut down strike) on September 25 and 26 from 5 am to 4 pm in the entire Garo Hills region, alleging that the Government was not paying attention to their various demands. In a statement issued on September 22, the publicity secretary of GNLA, Pantera Singgasik, said that instead of giving any attention to the demands of the GNLA, the Government is launching intensive operations against them. A separate State for Garos within the framework of the Indian Constitution is the key demand of the GNLA. The GNLA also ruled out any surrender with arms but added that they were ready to abjure violence at any time after positive political dialogue with the Government. Supporting the separate Statehood movement of the Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) under the banner of the Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GHSMC), the GNLA leader wanted to know why the Government had sent as many as 23 democratic protesters to jail.

The Telegraph reports on September 23 that Thai gunrunner, Willy Naruenartwanich alias Willy Narue, arrested in Bangkok on August 30, 2013, has revealed “key information” about the supply chain for smuggling arms from China to the Northeast through Bangladesh. An official source told The Telegraph that preliminary questioning of the accused by Thai authorities has revealed that he, along with the leaders of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), had hatched a plan to send a huge consignment of arms and ammunitions from China to the Northeast. “Willy had told Thai police that the arms consignment was to start from Beihei port in South China Sea near Vietnam to Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. On the high seas, the consignment was to be shifted to small fishing trawlers to reach Bangladesh, and then to the Northeast,” he said. Willy Narue, who figures on the wanted list of National Investigation Agency (NIA), was picked up by Thai authorities from Bangkok on August 30 following India’s request. A team of NIA officials is camping in Bangkok to start the extradition process.

A resolution adopted by the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) at its National Peace Convention at Aiwan-i-Iqbal on the night of September 22 rejected the idea of holding peace talks with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), saying that the offer of dialogue exposes the Government’s weakness, reports The Express Tribune. The Taliban should be dealt with force, stated the resolution. The SIC resolution said that while the Government was making peace overtures, the Taliban continued their “terrorist activities”, most recently with the bombing of a Peshawar church. The Government had, without receiving any assurances from the Taliban, released several “terrorists”, it said. Talking to militants who had killed hundreds of Pakistanis was to rub salt in the wounds of the bereaved. SIC Chairman Hamid Raza Rizvi said the organisation would continue to oppose talks with “rebels”. The SIC condemned all acts of terrorism and would continue to do so, he added. The Government, by offering talks, had ignored the sacrifices of groups like the SIC, which had lost several leaders including Doctor Sarfaraz Naeemi to Taliban attacks. While the Taliban were seeking guarantees before the dialogue in the form of prisoner releases, they were not even prepared to guarantee a ceasefire during the talks, he added.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said Indian Mujahideen (IM) co-founder Yasin Bhatkal, who is in their custody, revealed he had met Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders in Nepal before the serial blasts that rocked Bodh Gaya in Gaya District of Bihar on July 7, 2013, reports Mumbai Mirror. Bhatkal had reportedly surveyed the area around the Mahabodhi temple a year before the blasts took place. The explosive devices used in the blasts resemble the bombs used by Maoists. Until Bhatkal's confession, the NIA had been probing the blasts, considering three possibilities - international infiltration, Maoist involvement and local communal issues. The NIA had even put 100 foreign students studying and doing research in several departments of Magadh University in Bihar on its radar. "During his interrogation, Bhatkal revealed that Pakistan's intelligence agency has been working on a multipronged strategy to spread terror in India. For this, they are trying to rope in the Naxals as well," said an NIA source.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing al Qaeda for carrying out serial blasts in Bodh Gaya after key Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Yasin Bhatkal, who was arrested on August 28, 2013, told interrogators that Ayman al-Zawahiri-led global terror outfit already has a group operating in India, reported The Times of India on September 24. “Yasin Bhatkal says an al Qaeda module is already active in India. According to Yasin, Naib Ameer or deputy chief of IM Riyaz Bhatkal was informed about the presence of the al Qaeda group in India by a senior associate of Ayman al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan in March this year. Riyaz along with his associate Mirza Shadab Beg had met Zawahiri associate to offer IM’s services for jehad in India,” said the counter terror official. Counter terror sources say al Qaeda had been planning revenge attacks for alleged atrocities on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar for quite some time in many countries. Within a month of the Bodh Gaya serial blasts on July 7, 2013, a Buddhist temple was targeted in Indonesia, signalling a possible multinational operation in progress, which is a hallmark of al Qaeda.

However, 22 cases were later registered against the cleric between January and July, 2007. In this regard, the prosecution produced 60 witnesses against Maulana Aziz. However, when the relevant witnesses, including the shopkeepers, were produced before the court, they disowned the prosecution’s story and claimed that Maulana Aziz had never threatened them or visited their shops. Maulana Wajihullah advocate, counsel of Maulana Aziz, after the cleric’s acquittal told Dawn that former President General (retired) Pervez Musharraf had forced the Police to register fake cases against the cleric and his family members. He said Maulana Aziz and his family members had now been acquitted from all fake cases but General Musharraf himself was still facing trials.
