Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat said that the Indian army is set to deploy its first Integrated Battle Group (IBG) along the India- Pakistan border by the end of this year, reports Hindustan Times on September 2. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has cleared the reorganisation of IX Corps, based in Yol in Himachal Pradesh, to form the IBGs to be deployed along the western border. Raised in 2009, IX Corps is one of the army’s youngest corps and is part of the Chandimandir, based Western Army Command. “The IBGs, on an average, would comprise 20,000- 25,000 men, “said the officer. While each IBG will be a self-contained fighting unit, it can draw logistical support from other formations. The IBGs will be smaller and more flexible, allowing faster mobilisation. The Siliguri-based XXXIII Corps, tasked with protecting the Indo- Chinese (Tibetan) border including Sikkim, is next in line for being transformed into an IBS.

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on September 1 said that The Union government is planning to reduce the number of troops in Jammu and Kashmir, sent in the past month to deal with the aftermath of the Article 370 decision, reports The Hindu. EAM held meetings in Brussels where European Union officials raised concerns over human rights restrictions in the State, ahead of a European Parliament meeting on the situation in Kashmir on September 2. “I would suggest to you that in the coming days you will see an easing up progressively,” EAM was quoted as having said in an interview to the news website Politico Europe. He added that there would be a reduction in the roughly 30,000 extra security forces deployed in Jammu and Kashmir since August 2. Defending the communication restrictions in the Kashmir Valley in particular, the Minister said they were enforced to stop “people who are doing violence to contact each other”. “How do I cut off communications between the terrorists and their masters on the one hand, but keep the Internet open for other people? I would be delighted to know,” he said in reply to questions about the Internet and mobile telephone suspension. Mr. Jaishankar denied reports of medicine and food shortages.

Kerala coastline was put on alert after a country-wide alert that Pakistan-based terror groups may launch their “Samundari Jihad” cadres to infiltrate into Indian coastal areas, reports New Indian Express on September 2. Intelligence officers said special shadow surveillance has been initiated to keep track of fishing boats operating off the Kerala coast. Reports said the terror groups have been undergoing psychological as well as combat training on advanced weapons and explosives for carrying out attacks from the sea. An un-named senior Police officer said the Centre has apprised the states of the attempts being planned by the terror groups to carry out guerilla attacks on Indian soil after infiltrating through the sea. “There has been communication on terror groups training their cadre for carrying out strikes from the sea against India. We have done an assessment of the security along the state’s coast to put in place foolproof security arrangements,” stated the officer. Also, State Police Chief Loknath Behera stated, “Kochi is one of the prime destinations where we did the security audit. We have taken necessary precautions to counter any such attempts by the terrorists. All vital installations along the coastline have been put under surveillance”.

Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar, said that Pakistan openly practices terrorism and there is no scope for negotiations until Islamabad stops financing and recruitment of militant groups, reports Indian Express on September 2. Responding to the situation in Kashmir, the minister said the security restrictions across the Valley would be eased in the “coming days”. He said the internet and telephone outages were needed to stop the activation of “terrorist assets” and to prevent “people who are doing violence to contact each other”. Talking about India’s relations with United States (US) President Donald Trump, Jaishankar broached the challenges posed by a potential tariff war, India’s interest in resuming purchases of Iranian oil and US reservations about India’s acquisition of S-400 surface-to-air missiles. On arms’ purchases from Russia, Jaishankar said he was not going to be deterred from a “solid, time-tested” relationship with Moscow.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale, on September 2, said India has always supported a peace settlement in Afghanistan to ensure stability and not leave ungoverned spaces for terrorists, reports The Times of India. Gokhale, also said that both India and Russia believe that whatever the outcome of the discussions between the United States (US) and the Taliban is, they hope to see a stable political situation. On what sort of representatives India would send if invited for talks on Afghanistan, Gokhale said he does not want to speculate on it. Asked if India and Russia feel the US-Taliban talks were legitimate considering the government was not part of negotiations, Gokhale said: "We support all peace initiatives. We have been a part of all of them and in some cases when we were not part of them initially we have been supportive of them." "Our issue has been what is the post-settlement situation. In that regard, our situation has been clear, we support a system which has constitutional legitimacy, which has a political mandate, which will ensure stability and most importantly not leave ungoverned spaces for terrorists or their proxies to take advantage of," he said.

Khalistan related politics is again causing turbulence for the Liberal Government in Canada, as one of its own MP, Ramesh Sangha criticised that his party has been “pandering” to Sikh separatists, threatening Canada’s relations with India in the process, reports National Post on September 3. Ramesh Sangha, who represents Ontario’s Brampton Centre riding, delivered the surprising critique of his caucus colleagues during a recent television interview in Punjabi-language. “There is no doubt, there cannot be two opinions that the Liberal party is pandering (to) Khalistan supporters,” Sangha said in the interview. The interviewer asked if he thought the party had a “soft corner” for Khalistanis. “It does,” he responded. His comments revive an issue that has been an irritant for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for more than two years, flaring up during his ill-fated tour of India last year. Indian officials have previously accused the Liberals of trying to win favour with Canadians pushing for an independent Sikh homeland - Khalistan - in the Punjab region of India. Punjab’s State Chief Minister even charged that Trudeau’s four Sikh Cabinet Ministers are Khalistanis. However, they have strenuously denied the accusation. Chief Minister of India’s Punjab called for sanctions against Canada if it does not crack down on Sikh extremists

As tensions soared after New Delhi revoked the special status of Kashmir, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on September 2 reiterated that Pakistan will never trigger a war with India, reports Daily Times. “We both are nuclear-armed countries. If we had any military confrontation, the world can be in danger,” Imran Khan said, addressing members of the Sikh community in Lahore. “However, Pakistan will never trigger a war,” he told the International Sikh Convention here at the Governor’s House. The PM said after assuming the PM’s office, he tried to establish good ties with India, which unfortunately set preconditions instead of engaging in dialogue. He said the region is sitting on a ticking bomb of climate change as the glaciers are melting which can have dangerous repercussions for the future generations, and called for joint efforts to counter the challenge.

About 10,000 British Pakistanis descended on London on September 3, and proceeded to smash windows of the Indian High Commission and cause chaos on the streets of the British capital for the second time in weeks, reports The Times of India. Members of the Indian diaspora did not hold a counter-protest. The 'Kashmir Freedom March', organised by a plethora of British Kashmiri groups, went from Parliament Square past Downing Street to the High Commission building led by some UK Labour Member of parliaments (MP). “You can try and silence a Parliament but you cannot try and silence a people. We will continue to protest on the streets of our cities and at the UN until we have delivered justice for the people of Kashmir. This idea this is a bilateral negotiation is now dead. It is time for a multilateral solution now,” Birmingham Hodge Hill British Labour MP Liam Byrne, who led the march, said. London Mayor Sadiq Khan, condemned September 3, protests, saying it was "unacceptable". "I utterly condemn this unacceptable behaviour and have raised this incident with @metpoliceuk to take action," the Mayor tweeted. The protests were organised against the Indian government's move to revoke Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. In another report of The Times of India, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on September 4, stated, "Such violence should not be conducted anywhere else for that matter. Communities now need to reduce that tension but on a positive note, such as build-up confidence-building measures. This would not only allow reducing tension between communities in Kashmir and also between India and Pakistan." Meanwhile, the Indian Government has taken a grim view of repeated attacks on the Indian High Commission in London. Senior government sources said India was contemplating a set of responses against the UK in the coming weeks.

After Pakistan’s Punjab Governor announced that a settlement has been reached on the incident of alleged forced conversion of a Sikh woman in Nankana Sahib near Lahore, representatives of Sikh organisations in India believe that the neighbouring country was involved in propaganda to instigate the Sikh community for its own benefit, reports First Post on September 4. Gurdeep Singh, chairman of DaswandSewa Society (a Ludhiana-based Sikh NGO), stated that Pakistan, through sustained propaganda, is trying to instigate Sikhs against India. He highlighted that the population of Sikhs in Pakistan has fallen sharply over the past few years. He added that Pakistan had no intention of reuniting the victim with her family and did it only under pressure. India's central intelligence agencies have expressed concerns about the Inter-Services Intelligence’s (ISI) association with pro-Khalistan elements. According to reports, these separatist elements are trying to radicalise Sikh youth in the Indian state of Punjab through sustained campaigns on social media run from countries like Canada, United Kingdom (UK) and Germany. Khalistani supporters have also organised rallies against India in connivance with the ISI in the UK. The recent case of Jagjit Kaur hasn’t gone down well with Sikhs across the world, who earlier believed that Pakistan was making genuine efforts to reach out to minorities by agreeing to construct the Kartarpur corridor. However, the recent case has now infuriated the Sikhs who say that Pakistan cannot be trusted.

As many as eight Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including two women senior members of Maoist military battalion who were carrying an award of INR 800,000 each surrendered before the District Police chief and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in Sukma District of Chhattisgarh on September 3, reports The New Indian Express. The two women cadres - Vetti Pali (25) and Komram Sammi, were hardcore Maoists with rewards of INR 800,000 against their names, Police said. "Pali was a member of platoon number 2 of the Maoists' second company, part of their so-called battalion no 1 active in South Bastar. Sammi was part of company no 1 in the same wing," a Police official said. Two others who surrendered were identified as Podiyam Tinku (45), a militia command-in-chief, and Malangir Local Guerrilla Squad (LGS), Rava Bheema, carried rewards of INR 100,000 each on their heads, he said, adding that the other four were lower level cadre. The surrendered Maoists were involved in attacks on Police teams in south Bastar area and acts like attempt to murder, Police added. According to the Sukma Police, the rebels are under tremendous pressure owing to the persistent and successful anti-Maoist and area domination operations launched by the Security Forces. Those who surrendered were involved in some of the major incidents in the past. the rebels stated that they were frustrated with the “anti-development and hollow ideology” of the CPI-Maoist.

India was “deeply concerned” over the “unruly demonstration by Pakistan-incited elements and consequent organised vandalism” at the Indian High Commission in London on September 3, reports The Hindu. However, the protest was called “largely peaceful” by the United Kingdom (UK) Government. “This is the second time in a less than a month that such an incident has taken place affecting the security and the normal functioning of our Mission. We consider these incidents unacceptable and have strongly urged the Government of U.K. to take action against those involved, and take necessary steps to ensure the normal functioning of our Mission and the safety and security of our personnel,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson said. “The reality is that there have been widespread reports and concerns about detentions, mistreatments and the communications blackout. There was a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) discussion on Kashmir on 16 August. As well as wanting to respect the constitutional arrangements within India and in relation to Kashmir, there are implications internationally, particularly as they touch on internationally respected and recognised human rights,” British Foreign Secratary Dominic Raab added.

After Pakistan’s Punjab Governor announced that a settlement has been reached on the incident of alleged forced conversion of a Sikh woman in Nankana Sahib near Lahore, representatives of Sikh organisations in India believe that the neighbouring country was involved in propaganda to instigate the Sikh community for its own benefit, reports First Post on September 4. Gurdeep Singh, chairman of DaswandSewa Society (a Ludhiana-based Sikh NGO), stated that Pakistan, through sustained propaganda, is trying to instigate Sikhs against India. He highlighted that the population of Sikhs in Pakistan has fallen sharply over the past few years. He added that Pakistan had no intention of reuniting the victim with her family and did it only under pressure. India's central intelligence agencies have expressed concerns about the Inter-Services Intelligence’s (ISI) association with pro-Khalistan elements. According to reports, these separatist elements are trying to radicalise Sikh youth in the Indian state of Punjab through sustained campaigns on social media run from countries like Canada, United Kingdom (UK) and Germany. Khalistani supporters have also organised rallies against India in connivance with the ISI in the UK. The recent case of Jagjit Kaur hasn’t gone down well with Sikhs across the world, who earlier believed that Pakistan was making genuine efforts to reach out to minorities by agreeing to construct the Kartarpur corridor. However, the recent case has now infuriated the Sikhs who say that Pakistan cannot be trusted.

In a major breakthrough, the Federal Government on September 3 gave the approval to place 30,000 madrassas (seminaries) under the administrative control of the Ministry of Education in a bid to bring them at par with modern educational institutes, reports Pakistan Today. The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting which discussed the proposal put forth by the Ministry of Education. The Government had been working to introduce reform for a year now, with Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood having held a number of meetings with the leaders of clerics belonging to different sects. Overall, the government is planning to spend PKR 2 billion to bring these madrassas into the mainstream, with annual spending of PKR 1 billion. At present, around 2.5 million students are studying in these seminaries. These reforms were on the cards for a long time now. In the aftermath of the Sept 11, the Musharraf regime had taken up the matter, but without any success, after the move was resisted by the religious lobby. After coming to power, Prime Minister Imran Khan reiterated the desire to mainstream madrassas and bringing the students into the mainstream.

A scheduled meeting of the Government-formed Recommendation Committee - the committee assigned to suggest chiefs and members of two Transitional Justice (TJ) bodies - has been postponed at the last moment, reports Republica. The committee's coordinator, former Chief Justice Om Prakash Mishra, postponed the meeting at the eleventh hour. Formed in March, the Mishra-headed committee is still unable to suggest the prospective candidates to lead the two TJ bodies — Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) and Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Knowledgeable sources say disagreement among major political parties irrespective of the mandate given to the committee has largely delayed the recommendation process. The major political parties, mainly the ruling Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) and the main opposition Nepali Congress (NC), are said to be divided over whom to appoint the chiefs and members of the TJ bodies. Both the parties want to push their trusted candidates for appointment to the TRC, where most cases of serious human rights violations filed against the top leaders are pending.

Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh on September 4 said that militants in Jammu and Kashmir are threatening people and stopping them from opening shops, reports The Hindu. He added that it was upto the people to open their shops and the authorities could not force anyone.“The militants killed one shopkeeper on the plea that he had opened his shop .... how can you stop them from doing their work? That kind of dictates are coming in the form of posters from militants, they are going on harassing and threatening people; we are trying to counter their threats, therefore, we are not trying to put any pressure on the people unnecessarily,” Singh added.“There is no civil curfew, some Pakistan sponsored elements are trying to scare people but we are taking action against them. In the beginning the militants threatened petrol pump operators....then they started harassing people in the orchards. People have resisted and retaliated these attempts.... this happened in South Kashmir — the fruit growers asked the militants will they give them food if they sit at home?” He also admitted, “Barring one or two law and order incidents initially where bigger violence was involved, such incidents on a small scale are taking place on a daily basis with no serious violent element anywhere”.Singh said one militant was arrested in Baramulla and a couple of over ground workers were arrested for harassing people. “Action will continue against the militants.... we have chased and pushed them out, we are trying to keep them at bay,” he added.

During the third round of talks on the Kartarpur corridor held between India and Pakistan at Attari on September 4, Pakistan insisted on charging a ‘service fee’ for allowing pilgrims to visit Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib and also showed its unwillingness to allow the presence of Indian consular or protocol officials at the Kartarpur gurdwara premises, reports The Times of India. The Indian delegation reminded the Pakistani side that there was no visa requirement for the pilgrimage so no other kind of fee should be charged. “We hope they will reconsider their demand and the issue will be resolved soon,” said Hussan Lal, adding that nowhere in the world was any fee charged to pay obeisance at any Sikh holy place. The two nations on September 4 agreed that 5,000 pilgrims will be allowed on the corridor daily and Pakistan will soon inform India on how many additional pilgrims will it allow on special occasions. If India agrees to the USD 20 entry fee, then with 5,000 pilgrims visiting Kartarpur Sahib daily, Pakistan would earn USD 100,000 per day, which equals to nearly 16 crores in Pakistani rupees. Islamabad refused to allow Indian consular presence at Kartarpur Sahib and did not agree to give permission to Indian protocol officials travelling every day with the pilgrims via Kartarpur corridor for their facilitation. Pakistan has been systematically refusing permission to Indian diplomats to visit gurdwaras. In June 2018, Islamabad had not allowed Indian high commissioner Ajay Bisaria to visit Gurdwara Punjab Sahib, Hassanabdal, to pay obeisance and meet the visiting Indian Sikh pilgrims. India conveyed its concern about Khalistan supporters and others who could disrupt the pilgrimage and play with the sentiments of the pilgrims. The Pakistan delegation replied to Indian objections to Khalistan supporters in their country and attempted to connect them to the Kashmir issue. “It seems they were here to not conclude the draft proposal and hold serious talks, but to further indulge in propaganda,” said sources privy to the discussion. Meanwhile, a day after Pakistan announced to levy USD 20 service fee for the pilgrims going to Kartarpur Sahib via under construction Kartarpur corridor, the US-based pro-Khalistani organization Sikh For Justice (SFJ) on September 5 offered to reimburse the fee, reports The Times of India. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun who claims to be the legal advisor of SFJ informed that the Sikh body would reimburse the service fee to the people of Punjab who would visit Kartarpur Sahib during 550th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. “People of Punjab who will visit Kartarpur Sahib between November 1 and 30 will have to submit proof of their visit to SFJ and receive USD 20 service fee reimbursement via Western Union,” said Pannun. Notably, the first jatha (group) was likely to leave for Kartarpur Sahib via Kartarpur corridor in the second week of November. “This is one among other tricks which the SFJ had been playing to allure the gullible people of Punjab” said sources.

The next round, which is proposed to be held at Wagah in Pakistan, will “only focus on discussing all outstanding issues” pertaining to stationing of Indian consular officials on both sides of the corridor, laws governing the corridor and $20 service fee that Pakistan wants to charge, sources said. The sources also said these three issues are the main hurdles even as both sides continue to “remain committed to signing an agreement on the corridor soon”. The outstanding issues came up during the technical-level talks on 4 September at Attari in India.

India snubbed Pakistan delegation when they tried to ‘indirectly’ raise issues relating to J&K when the two sides met for the third round of talks on the Kartarpur corridor, as they were bluntly told to ‘stick to the agenda’, reports The Tribune. Sources said that in the meeting held at Attari on September 4, the Pakistan side ‘tried to show their magnanimity’ by saying they were there ‘despite their concerns over the recent developments on Kashmir’ and said their government was ‘committed to complete’ the project in time to facilitate pilgrimage as per schedule. The Indian side led by SCL Das, Joint Secretary in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, was quick to “rebuff”, as he “snubbed” the Pakistan officials by saying “don’t talk about concerns other than Kartarpur corridor, as we have greater concerns (cross-border terrorism) than you. Better we stick to the agenda rather than delve on other issue”, said a source. Noting that the Pakistan delegation had come with a brief not to conclude agreement, sources said they wanted to indulge in propaganda than serious talks and showed “utter inflexibility”, which was evident in their stance on “not allowing Indian consular presence or permitting protocol officials to travel every day”.

The agreement on the Kartarpur Corridor project, which will open the famed pilgrimage centre to Indians, could not be signed on September 4 after Pakistan declared that it would charge fees from the visitors, reports The Hindu. Government sources said that the two sides, which met in Attari, were in agreement on most points, but the final pact stalled over key differences. “Owing to certain differences over a few issues, the agreement could not be finalised. Pakistan has insisted on charging a service fee for allowing pilgrims to visit Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib, which is not agreeable in the spirit of smooth and easy access through the corridor,” sources said. It was also pointed out that Pakistan declined India’s request to let consular officials accompany the pilgrims. The presence of Indian consular officials at Kartarpur has acquired importance in view of the reported activities of Khalistan supporters in Pakistan. Earlier, the pro-Khalistan figure Gopal Singh Chawla’s name was removed from the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committtee (PSGPC), after India’s objection. However, Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal, after the talks, said that the Sikh pilgrims would be issued special cards instead of visas to visit their religious site on the special occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak. He said that talks between Pakistan and India on Kartarpur Corridor were held in a positive environment despite tension in relations between the two countries over the Kashmir crisis. He said the two sides have almost agreed to the draft agreement on the operationalisation of Kartarpur Corridor except for two or three points.

The final date for repatriation of the 4,447 Bru families lodged in relief camps in Tripura to Mizoram will be finalised at a meeting in New Delhi on September 6, reports Eastern Mirror. The meeting will be attended by Ministry of Home Affairs, Mizoram and Tripura governments, leaders of the Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), and members of civil societies. Eight attempts had been made to repatriate the Brus, staying in six camps in Tripura after fleeing from Mizoram since late 1997. Only around 1,681 Bru families have returned to Mizoram so far since 2010 and were resettled in Mamit, Kolasib and Lunglei Districts. Additionally, Tripura Info reports on September 4 that repatriation of Bru refugees is likely to be differed again. Though the final reparation was scheduled to be conducted in October, it may get delayed as the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has not sanctioned money to meet the repatriation expenses. At least 26,128 people from 4,278 families were identified as bona fide residents of Mizoram.

The Punjab Police suspect that the September 4 night Tarn Taran blast, which left two persons dead and one injured, could have links with terror organisations, reports The Tribune. A specialized post-blast investigation (PBI) team of the National Security Guards (NSG) has been asked to examine the blast site. The help of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also been requisitioned. Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Dinkar Gupta said the nature of the blast raised some suspicion after which he sought help of the NIA and NSG. It was suspected that the two deceased and the person injured in the blast might have been assembling a crude bomb at the site. The police were conducting raids and questioning suspects to probe links of those killed in the blast with radical organisations. Earlier, two persons, identified as Harpreet Singh (20) and Vikram Singh (28) were killed and another one, Gurjant Singh (27) injured in a low-intensity blast in an agricultural field near Kaler village in Tarn Taran in Tarn Taran District on September 4 evening.

Using the recently amended provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the Union Government on September 4, notified four most-wanted terrorists: Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) ‘chief’ Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) ‘chief’ Masood Azhar, ‘chief operational commander’ of LeT Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, as 'individual terrorists', reports The Times of India. All of them are presently based in Pakistan and considered as 'global terrorists' under United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1267. "And whereas, the central government believes that Maulana Masood Azhar is involved in terrorism and Maulana Masood Azhar is to be notified as a terrorist under the said Act...," a Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) notification said. "And whereas, the central government believes that Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is involved in terrorism and Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is to be notified as a terrorist under the said Act...," the notification added. "And whereas, the central government believes that Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is involved in terrorism and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is to be notified as a terrorist under the said Act," the notification further stated. The UMHA also said Dawood runs an international underworld crime syndicate and is involved in perpetrating acts of terror, promoting religious fundamentalism, terror financing, arms smuggling, circulation of Fake India Currency Notes (FICN), money laundering, narcotics, extortion and benami real estate business in India and abroad. He was also involved in assassination attempts on prominent personalities to create social disharmony and terrorise common man. It also said Dawood executed a series of bomb blasts along with his associates in Mumbai in March 1993, which resulted in deaths of 257 people and injured over 1000 others apart from the destruction of properties on a massive scale. Moreover, as reported on September 5, the United States (US) has backed India designating four criminals as terrorists and commented that this step expands possibilities of cooperation between Washington and New Delhi in fighting terrorism, according to The Times of India. The Acting Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia, Alice G Wells, tweeted on September 4, "We stand w/ #India and commend it for utilizing new legal authorities to designate 4 notorious terrorists: Maulana Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and Dawood Ibrahim. This new law expands possibilities for joint #USIndia efforts to combat scourge of terrorism."

The Sikh community in Pakistan urged the Government to stop forced conversions of the girls belonging to minority groups through proper legislation to remove the sense of insecurity among them, reports Dawn. Anmol Singh, a representative of the Sikh community, in a statement on September 4, alleged that the girls belonging to Sikh and Hindu communities were forced to convert to Islam, mostly in Singh province, but the government was yet to stop this practice. “Our community is worried as the incidents of kidnapping Hindu, Sikh girls are frequently occurring, but the government is least bothered to protect the people through legislation. All the provincial governments should focus on legislation without being influenced by different political parties which is our basic right,” he said. Anmol Singh said that the incidence of forced conversions in Pakistan was a matter of serious concern. He said that the case of a girl of Nankana Sahib was the latest example. Mr Singh said that despite repeated protests by the minorities, the government had made no legislation to prevent this practice.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) on September 4 urged Nepal Government to revise several pieces of draft legislation that threaten to undermine the right to freedom of expression, reports Republica. In a letter to Prime Minister K. P. Oli, the New York-based HRW urged the Nepal Government to amend the recently revised Penal Code, which criminalizes speech on vague grounds, including that it may “annoy” or “trouble” someone. "The draft laws currently before parliament, including the Media Council Bill, Information Technology Bill, and the Mass Communications Bill, contain numerous loosely defined and draconian measures. These include offenses for harming the nation’s “self-pride” or damaging an individual’s “image or prestige.” Provisions controlling online and social media activity are especially sweeping. Many of the new offenses carry fines and lengthy prison sentences," HRW said in the latter.

After the arrests of senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, Narmada and her husband Kiran, who held the reigns of the Maoist movement in the southern part of Gadchiroli which is also part of the Dandakaranya, speculation is rife in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra regarding the successors of these two senior most cadres, reports The Times of India on September 6. Sources in the district stated that names of senior cadres like Tarakka alias Vimla Sidam and Giridhar alias Nangshu Tumreti are doing the rounds as the ones who had been handed over the baton to lead the rebel movement in the district in the place of Narmada and her husband Kiran. Tarakka is the wife of Maoists’ Politburo member Mallajula Venugopal aka Bhupathi who operates from Abujhmadh, on the Chhattisgarh-Maharashtra border. She, too, is a DVC of the Madh division. Tarakka commanded company number nine. There is a rumour of Tarakka having ascended to the position of Central Committee (CC) member. Sources said the name of Girdhar, too, surfaced as the one who had been assigned the role to lead the movement in the district. Girdhar, a resident of Gadchiroli, would be one of those rare local cadres who shall then in that case be at the helm of the movement in the district where allegations of Andhra Pradesh or Telangana natives preferred as leaders can be put to rest. A Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) member, Girdhar is also the commander of Maoist’s Company 4 which operated in the north and at the borders of Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh’s Balaghat and Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh. Narmada and her husband Kiran were arrested from Sironcha in June this year for their alleged involvement in the Jamburkheda blast in Gadchiroli in which 15 Quick response team (QRT) personnel and one civilian driver were killed on May 1.

Nagaland Governor R.N. Ravi on September 5 stated that the fragmented approach by Police forces and security agencies of north eastern states needs to be formulated into an integrated approach to tackle rise in militancy, reports Nagaland Post on September 6. He stated so while addressing Police Chiefs of the north eastern states and heads of Central Police organisations in Chumukeidma in Dimapur District of Nagaland. The Governor also added that paradigm of security in northeast reason has made significant change since last five years. He credited this change to the tireless ground efforts of the security agencies. He pointed out that protracted insurgencies in the region had led to proliferation of illicit arms and illicit arms trade. Ravi said it was unfortunate that the region has the dubious distinction of being a source for illicit arms. On rise of militant Islam in the region, he said the phenomenon was a challenge both at global and nation level. He said it was a challenge for northeast region in many special ways because the geography of the region as any such rise would severely impact the region, reports Nagaland Post. The Northeast Today adds that he mentioned that the policing thrust now has to shift in day -to-day professional policing which he felt was grossly neglected during the long counter insurgency period.

Militants are resorting to killing civilians and threatening them to instill fear amongst them. An Intelligence officer stated that Separatists were expecting a violent public outrage against the abrogation of Article 370 and the complete integration of the state with the rest of the country. They also believed that their would-be civilian casualties in clashes with the security forces. Nothing like that happened although there has been a general strike in the valley since August 5. Despite all the preventive measures taken by us to ensure that public life and property are protected, the credit for ensuring peace goes to the common man in Kashmir who has refused to play into the hands of the separatists.

United States (US) President Donald Trump on September 7 said he called off peace negotiations with the Taliban after the group claimed responsibility for the Kabul car bombing which killed 12 people, including an American soldier, reports Bhaktar News Agency. In a series of tweets, Trump said he also cancelled a "secret meeting" with the Taliban representatives and a separate meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani at Camp David on Sunday. "Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday (September 8). They were coming to the United States tonight," he said. "Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great-great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations," Trump said in another tweet. Meanwhile, Taliban has called United States (US) President Donald Trump’s decision for calling off peace talks as ‘surprising’, claiming that the call will surely harm his credibility, reports Khaama News Agency on September 8. Suhail Shaheen, a spokesman for the political office of Taliban in Doha said they finalized the agreement with Taliban few days ago. Shaheen further added that the leaders of the two teams handed over the draft agreement to Qatar.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) ‘chairman’ Q. Tuccu accused Government of India (GoI) of backtracking from ‘Framework Agreement’, reports Nagaland Post on September 9. He also added that due to misinterpretation of the Framework Agreement by GoI the negotiating parties were yet to concur on some core issues like separate Naga National Flag and Constitution. In an interview he stated that ‘’ The agreed position between Government of India and NSCN is “shared-sovereignty”. That means, neither India will be under Nagas nor Nagas under India but we will coexist on the basis of “shared-sovereignty”. However, GoI is not agreeable on separate Naga National Flag and Constitution due to which we are unable to conclude the Talk.” When asked about the three-month deadline given by Prime Minister of India, Q Tuccu stated that ‘’ We could visualise this three months deadline as an ultimatum to the Nagas. Today, GoI is devising to undo whatever has been agreed upon by the two entities in the Framework Agreement. We will not accept anything less than what has been agreed upon. NSCN will only agree to conclude the Talk, within three months, if GoI adhere to our agreed positions based on Framework Agreement.”

Security Forces (SFs) are bracing for increased attacks by Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] across the ‘Red Corridor’ in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, following intelligence inputs that 250 cadres have joined the ‘central military commission’ (CMC), the main fighting unit of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), headed by Nambala Keshava Rao aka Basavaraj, reports Livemint on September 10. The SFs are preparing for increased attacks between November 2019 and April 2020, according to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). “During this period, Naxalites launch their tactical counter offensive campaign, wherein they conduct the maximum strikes. The months prior to that, they usually recruit more people who are trained in the months between June and September," said a senior official of the UMHA requesting anonymity. The aim of the Naxalites to expand and train armed cadres across Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand has added to the concerns this year, according to intelligence officials. “Basavaraj is known to be aggressive and has, therefore, expanded the armed cadres because there were some specific attacks this year, such as those on Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Bhima Mandavi and the attack in Gadchiroli, which were all masterminded by him. Their training usually takes place in Abujhmaad in Chhattisgarh because that is their nerve center," said a security agency official based in Chhattisgarh, requesting anonymity.

Testimony in a United States (US) court has revived news about Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, news24.com reports on September 10. Ibrahim's name came up during testimony by Vicky Goswami, the mandrax smuggler who lived in South Africa in the early 1990s and turned State witness following his extradition to the US from Kenya in 2017.

The charge sheet also mentioned the involvement of Dawood Ibrahim’s associates, Yunus and Saikh, believed to have been involved in riots in Gujarat in 2002.

A Pune police team, on September 10 morning, carried out a search and seizure exercise at the residence of Hany Babu MT, an English professor with Delhi University (DU), at his Sector-78 in Noida of Uttar Pradesh, in connection with the Elgar Parishad case, reports The Times of India. "We have searched Babu’s house for verifying his role after his name surfaced during the arrests of earlier accused," Pune Police commissioner K Venkatesham said. "We have seized some hard disks from his residence. We will get them forensically analysed before taking a call on further course of action. For now, we have not arrested him," he said. Police commissioner Venkatesham said, "Babu (45) was in touch with GN Saibaba, a DU professor convicted in March 2017 by a Gadchiroli court for Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) links, and was also in contact with all earlier arrested accused.” The Elgar Parishad held in Pune on December 31, 2017, was supported and funded by the CPI-Maoist, as part of a larger conspiracy to create social unrest, chaos and overthrow the Government. Alleged inflammatory speeches made at the Parishad contributed to the January 1, 2018, caste clashes at Koregaon Bhima near Pune, the Police claimed. Acting on a FIR lodged with the Vishrambaug Police on January 8, 2018, Police carried out simultaneous raids in Pune, Mumbai and other places on April 17, 2018. Further, during raids on June 6, 2018, the Police arrested activists Surendra Gadling, Shoma Sen and Mahesh Raut (all from Nagpur), Sudhir Dhawale (from Mumbai) and Rona Wilson (from New Delhi) for their alleged Maoist links and role in various unlawful activities. Gadling, also a lawyer, had represented Saibaba in the Gadchiroli case. In another raid on August 28, the police arrested veteran author-poet P Varavara Rao (from Hyderabad), lawyers Arun Ferreira and Vernon Gonsalves (from Thane and Mumbai, respectively) and Sudha Bharadwaj (from Faridabad) for their alleged Maoist links. All nine accused are lodged in Pune’s Yerawada central jail under judicial custody and the Police have so far filed two chargesheets in relation to the case which is now at a pre-trial stage.

The Border Security Force (BSF) team deployed along the border near the Sutlej river had successfully seized eight kilograms of heroin and 55 grams of opium on late September 10 evening, reports DNA. The price of this heroin is being pegged at around Rs 40 crore. Since the rise of water level in the Sutlej river in Punjab's Ferozepur, smugglers from Pakistan have been continuously sending narcotics by turning the rough flow of the river into their advantage. Meanwhile, the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) Amritsar Sub-Zone said that it had busted an international network of drug trafficking operating in Delhi, Punjab and Mumbai with linkages in Australia and Canada, reports The Times of India. S K Jha, Deputy Director General, Northern Region, NCB, in a release issued here on September 10 informed that NCB received intelligence input that a shipment containing drugs was arriving New Delhi from Canada which contained high quality South American cocaine for high end drug users in Punjab. The consignee’s address was of Jalandhar, he added. “We immediately swung into action and checked the consignment and seized 422 gram of high quality Cocaine,” he said. Following investigations, it was revealed that Yogesh Kumar Dhuna, a resident of Jalandhar, was to receive the consignment on behalf of big traffickers in the syndicate active in Punjab. During investigation, the alleged accused revealed names of others who had approached him to receive the consignment. Also, with the BSF and Police increasing vigil along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, the National Capital has become the transit route of choice for smuggling of heroin into Punjab instead of sneaking the contraband through the barbed fence, reports Hindustan Times on September 12. The Punjab Police’s anti-drug Special Task Force (STF) claimed this after an analysis of recent drug seizures. STF (border range) inspector general (IG) RK Jaiswal said that “We analysed 10 cases of seizures of heroin in the state and found that the contraband was smuggled via Delhi in eight of them.”

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Director General of Police (DGP), Dilbag Singh, on September 11 said that during past one month there has not been any serious law and order engagement in Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. “Despite a number of law and order incidents of violence reported in the State, there was hardly any serious law and order engagement. Till yesterday, 184 of law and order engagements were there, of which not more than half a dozen of were such a nature where a little higher level of violence was seen in terms of stone pelting by the civilians. We have also tried to exercise a lot of restraint and that’s why the casualties on the civilian side have been absolutely nil, barring an incident wherein a stone pelter got injured in downtown and subsequently succumbed to his injuries. On the contrary we had incidents where the stone pelters caused injuries to the civilians and also a civilian death in Bijbehara [Anantnag District] wherein a truck driver got injured in stone pelting and subsequently died”, he said. “During this period, we had militancy related incidents. Three persons were killed by the militants, two in Tral [Pulwama District] area-the Gujjar brothers who were somewhere in the Tral heights, taking care of their cattles, militants kidnapped them and killed both of them. Other than that, a shopkeeper in the city area of Parimpora [Srinagar District] was killed for not abiding the dictates by the militants. During this period, two militants have also been neutralized. Earlier, one was killed at Baramulla down town, and today in another incident one more has been killed”, he said. Singh said that the State is near to normalcy as the clampdown imposed last month is gradually being withdrawn. “We are very close to the normalcy, and if you take the case, all the 10 districts of Jammu are normal, all the colleges and schools are functioning normally, all the offices are open and people are carrying on with their routine work. I have been to Leh and Kargil, it is all normal over there. There are no restrictions whatsoever in that area. In this region [Kashmir Valley] as well, we have tried to ease out the restrictions. As of now, there is 90 per cent of area which is free of restrictions. Telephone exchanges have been made functional 100 per cent. There are two districts where the mobile phones are also working now”, he said.

Security Forces (SFs) on September 11 killed a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant in the Sopore area of Baramulla District in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior. Director General of Police (DGP), Dilbag Singh, said that on specific information, the Police and SFs established a picket near Sopore town. “As this militant Asif Maqbool Bhat came, he was challenged to stop but he did not. He threw a grenade on our party in which couple of our police personnel were injured. In the encounter that ensued, the militant was neutralized”, he said. Singh said that Bhat was involved in the shooting of four people in Sopore area including a baby. “He was the same militant who had gone to the house of Haji Habbibullah, fired at his family members, injuring four of them including a little girl. He is the same militant who along with his other fellows went to a house where a migrant labourer was working, shot at him an injured him. His name was Shafi Alam, the boy was seriously injured and was brought to Srinagar, and I am told that he is stable”, he said. The DGP said that the militant along with his two associates were involved in the terrorizing people in the area. “…he had created a lot of terror in the area of Sopore. Over the last month, he was very active. He was responsible for making use of OGWs [Over Ground Workers] to print and publish posters, threatening people not to do the fruit business, not to go for trading, not to open shops, not to go for normal day to day activities and we were watching these activities and we were after these people who were involved in this. And eight people who were involved in these kind of activities were apprehended by Sopore police along with computers and other instruments that they were using for printing those posters. This fellow (the militant), along with two others-Mudasir and Sajad-, three of them created terror in that area, roaming around the villages, threatening people not to go for their daily chores. So we were following him, tracking”, he said. “…There have been incidents of physically manhandling of one or two fellows, telling them not to go for fruit tacking and fruit collection, but on our side the police is active, we are chasing them everywhere and we are hopeful that we will be able to neutralize such threats in south Kashmir”, he said.

United States (US) President Donald Trump on September 12 issued an executive order to expand the administration's ability to go after suspected terrorists and their financiers and supporters, reports Dawn. The list of 11 men the administration has termed as "global terrorists" includes Noor Wali, also known as Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud — who was named the leader of Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in June 2018 following the death of former TTP leader Mullah Fazlullah. “Today's executive order by President Trump adds further muscle to US counterterrorism efforts,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a briefing to reporters at the White House. He said Trump's action amends an earlier executive order that former President George W. Bush initially signed after 9/11 by adding clauses to let the State and Treasury departments directly target leaders of suspected terror groups and their affiliates “without having to tie terrorist leaders to specific acts.”

A blacklist of Sikh foreign nationals who have been barred from travelling to India for decades has been reduced from 314 to just 2, a senior Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) official said on September 13, reports Hindustan Times. The 312 nationals removed from the blacklist, formally called the ‘Central Adverse List’, will be “eligible to get Indian visa and the Overseas Indian Card” in due course, the official said. The decision to whittle down the list was taken after a ‘review’ of threats posed by these people to India. These blacklisted Sikhs have been mostly living in the US and Canada in North America; and the UK, France and Germany in Europe. It has included Sikh community leaders who had promoted the cause of Khalistan, former militants, those connected to the ideology without a criminal record, and those who sought political asylum contending threat to their lives from the Indian authorities. “This review is a continuous and dynamic process and is a part of a regular exercise. Such a review will afford an opportunity to such Sikh foreign nationals to visit India, meet their family members and reconnect to their roots, “the official said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was first reported to have agreed to review the list at a meeting with UK-based Sikhs during a visit to London in 2015 and mandated National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval to lead the exercise within the security establishment. Over the next four years, officials said the list had been progressively pruned but there had been calls to do away with the list that, Sikh groups say, had come to symbolise “the fractious relationship between Sikhs living abroad and the Indian state since the 1984 Operation Bluestar”.

Assam Tribune on September 13 reports the Government of India (GoI) has made it clear that it would not be possible to give separate flag and constitution to Nagaland as a part of the agreement with NSCN-IM. According to Government sources, Government has made its position on separate flag and constitution to NSCN-IM and Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs). Sources said that though the leaders of the militant groups are insisting on separate flag and constitution, the Government is not in a mood to relent and mainly that issue is delaying signing of the agreement with the rebels. Sources stated that “It is a fact that the Government is keen on signing the final agreement with the rebel groups as soon as possible and the target of the Centre is to complete the peace process within the next two to three months. But there is no question of giving separate flag and constitution as a part of the agreement,”.

At least five Pakistan army personnel were killed in two separate incidents of violation of the Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) by Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC) in twin border Districts of Poonch and Rajouri of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior on September 15. Troops of the Pakistani Army reached the Hajipur sector in J&K and retrieved their dead personnel after showing a white flag on September 11. Lt Gen Ranbir Singh said: “By our calibrated proactive approach, we have been able to attain complete moral ascendancy over the enemy (Pakistan). All infiltration attempts along the LoC have been foiled”. Students of nearly half a dozen schools were trapped in heavy shelling and firing by the Pakistani troops in Mendhar and Balakote sectors of Poonch District and had to be rescued by the Army in their bullet-proof bunkers. Students and civilians had narrow escape in Pakistan shelling in which nearly a dozen houses were damaged and some cattle perished but there were no civilian casualties. According to reports, three more Pakistan army personnel were reported to have been killed across Mendhar, Balakote and Poonch sectors in retaliatory firing and shelling by the Indian Army. “The Pakistani troopers were killed when their two forward posts caught fire in the Indian retaliatory firing. The Indian action was necessitated as Pakistani posts were directly targeting civilian locations in Mendhar and Balakote posing threat to innocent lives including school children,” they said, adding that shelling and firing from Pakistan side stopped after their forward posts were destroyed. Intense shelling was reported from forward villages of Drana, Malikpur, Chajla, Padri, Sandot, Langiot, Behrot, Panjani, Suhala, Darhuti, Dhar Galloon, Dulat and surrounding villages with people, who had gone for work in the fields and other areas. The shelling stopped after fierce and very effective reply by the Indian troops in which two communication towers and three posts of Pakistan army were destroyed. At least seven to eight Pakistan army personnel have been injured in the Indian action.

Dormant routes have been used by the Pakistani Army to infiltrate nearly 60 terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) since the scrapping of J&K’s special status on August 5, 2019, officials told PTI on September 17, reports NDTV. This assessment comes amid intelligence inputs that there has been a surge in infiltration from across the border through higher reaches of North Kashmir and Poonch and Rajouri Districts of the Jammu Division, they said. During a recent meeting to ascertain the number of successful and unsuccessful infiltration attempts along the Line of Control (LoC), an Army representative was presented with a host of evidence collected by various agencies about infiltration by terrorists from higher reaches of Gurez, Machil and Gulmarg sectors of the Kashmir Division, and Poonch and Rajouri areas in Jammu Division, the officials said. The higher reaches of Gulmarg was used in early 1990s for infiltration into central Kashmir. In 2014, the Army was caught by surprise when a terrorist Naveed, arrested after a suicide bid on a Border Security Force (BSF) vehicle at Udhampur, told interrogators that they had crossed over from ''Ustad Post'' in higher reaches of Gulmarg and reached the Kashmir valley. However, now it seems that the same route has been used to enter the Valley, the officials said, adding some of these terrorists had been sighted in various parts of Budgam and Pulwama Districts in South Kashmir. The officials said a group of terrorists shifted to Baba Reshi area before moving via Pakherpora to highly-volatile Pulwama District, where they have set up their permanent base. Another group has moved into the central district of Budgam, the officials said. They also said a group infiltrated from Gurez, Machil, Tangdhar sectors under the cover of heavy artillery firing. Another cause of worry for the security agencies is an axis along the Poonch area in Jammu Division from where small groups have managed to sneak in and reach Shopian (Shopian District) in South Kashmir. They could have possibly used Hill Kaka route to enter into Shopian, the officials said.

Indian intelligence agencies have busted a "call centre" being run by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Jhelum city (Jhelum District of Punjab Province) in Pakistan, reports Times Now News on September 19. The call centre, aimed at targeting the Indian Army and government officials in honey-traps, was being operated with the help of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). The Centre was using Indian SIM cards, seized by Pakistan customs from Indian travellers, mostly women, visiting their relatives in Pakistan. Over 100 Indian SIM cards have been traced as the Delhi Police launched an investigation. Pakistani girls engaged by the call centre were especially trained in speaking fluent Hindi with a North Indian accent. With the help of ISI handlers, these girls primarily searched Indian security personnel on social media platforms and later approached them. After initial chats with the target group, the girls made video calls on Facebook and WhatsApp and recorded them. Earlier in 2019, Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh traced 125 fake IDs of women on Facebook, which were a plant of ISI to honey-trap Indian paramilitary and Army officials. The data of fake accounts was shared by Intelligence Bureau and military agency with ATS. The Indian agencies shared its data with other state police since BrahMos Aerospace engineer Nishant Agarwal and Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Achutyanand Mishra were honey-trapped by ISI in October last year.

Recently there have been regular communications between IS in India, Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), as per intelligence reports. Salauddin, who currently holds a key position in JMB is reportedly maintaining liaison with Pakistani ISI as well as jihadist outfits. In 2014 Salauddin, a condemned convict fled a prison van near Mymensing district in Bangladesh and crossed the border. Since 2014, he has been living in India. It is further learnt that Salauddin is constantly changing his location while he mostly stays in the northeastern states. For the past several years, a secret nexus is being built between the jihadists in India as well as separatist groups such as the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) 'chief' Paresh Baruah has been coordinating with HM, JMB and IS.

Indian intelligence agencies have busted a "call centre" being run by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Jhelum city (Jhelum District of Punjab Province) in Pakistan, reports Times Now News on September 19. The call centre, aimed at targeting the Indian Army and government officials in honey-traps, was being operated with the help of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). The Centre was using Indian SIM cards, seized by Pakistan customs from Indian travellers, mostly women, visiting their relatives in Pakistan. Over 100 Indian SIM cards have been traced as the Delhi Police launched an investigation. Pakistani girls engaged by the call centre were especially trained in speaking fluent Hindi with a North Indian accent. With the help of ISI handlers, these girls primarily searched Indian security personnel on social media platforms and later approached them. After initial chats with the target group, the girls made video calls on Facebook and WhatsApp and recorded them. Earlier in 2019, Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh traced 125 fake IDs of women on Facebook, which were a plant of ISI to honey-trap Indian paramilitary and Army officials. The data of fake accounts was shared by Intelligence Bureau and military agency with ATS. The Indian agencies shared its data with other state police since BrahMos Aerospace engineer Nishant Agarwal and Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Achutyanand Mishra were honey-trapped by ISI in October last year.

Assam Tribune reports on September 20 that fund starved militant groups have reportedly started selling off some weapons to criminal elements. Though some common criminals are using country made weapons manufactured in Bihar, most criminal groups including poachers are now mostly using sophisticated weapons, which has become a matter of serious concern for the security agencies. According to report, there were times when militants faced shortage of ammunition. However, but of late, currently most militant groups of North East have more weapons than the number of trained cadres In recent times, most militant groups have almost stopped engaging the security forces in encounters and their activities are mostly limited to planting of explosives. Most of militant groups are facing financial crunch. After the operations by Myanmar Army, the members of the militant groups were compelled to stay in the Naga villages in Myanmar but they are not in a position to make necessary payments as the sources of their funds are drying up. Moreover, people are not ready to respond to the extortion demands of the ultras. Facing financial cruch, the militants sold some of their weapons. National Liberation Front (NLFT) of Tripura, which recently signed a peace pact with the Government, admitted before the security agencies that they sold off some weapons when the outfit faced severe financial crunch.

On September 23, some Member of Parliament, and officials from the Political Committee of the Political Parties, said that the recent security report by the Afghan security institutions labeling 431 centers as “too dangerous” is suspicious, reports Tolo News. According to the report, another 1,000 centers, although intended to remain open, face high-security threats. Earlier on September 20, the Afghan Independent Election Commission (IEC) in a report said that 431 polling centers out of 5,373 are to remain closed on election day due to insecure regions in the country. Critics also argue that most of the polling centers in Afghanistan’s central and southern regions are located in areas where the insurgents have a strong presence, however, the number of closed polling centers doesn’t seem to reflect this. The IEC had further said that 675 centers face high-security threats and another 907 centers are under medium threats.

Assam Tribune on September 25, reports that Myanmar based North East militants have moved closer to India-Myanmar border and there is possibility of them surrendering in the coming days. Security agencies are also trying to encourage the militants to come over ground with the help of militant’s family members. According to security sources, there are about 100 United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) and 50 National Democratic Front of Bodoland-Saoraigwra (NDFB-S) militants in Myanmar. Currently more than 50 militants of ULFA-I and NDFB-S militants have surrendered following Myanmar Army’s operations. Recruitment has almost been stopped, while, senior members are not issuing weapons to the cadres fearing that they may manage to cross the border and surrender with weapons. The operations by Myanmar Army were concentrated in the areas where the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), ULFA-I and NDFB-S had their camps and till date, no major offensive has been launched in the areas across Manipur and that is why, no Manipuri militant groups have suffered serious setbacks. The Government of India (GoI) hopes that Myanmar Army would launch operations in those areas too shortly.

When asked to explain on “shared sovereignty,” he stated that, “In the long course of talks both sides realised the necessity of sharing with each other because our history is clear. He also added the Nagas were never under the Indians either by consent of themselves or by military force used on them in those times. He also added that “And so our history is unique. Therefore, solution must also be unique. When we say this, they say you are too tough. I am not tough. Nagas are not lost people. We have our history. “They have come to realise that. Not only that since Nagas were not under Indians nor under anyone, our sovereignty also lies with us.”

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) recently registered a case to probe the activities of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in the southern states after inputs that its members have indulged in robbery to collect funds, reports Hindustan Times on September 25. “JMB, following a major crackdown in Burdwan by us in 2014, in which over 50 of its members were caught in West Bengal and Assam, failed to carry out terror attacks in that region. Kausar, who was instrumental in formation of JMB training camps, procuring explosives in 2014 for making over 100 bombs and planning the Bodhgaya blast in January 2018, had moved to Bengaluru and he was reviving the outfit. But even after his arrest in August last year, it seems somebody is furthering the activities of JMB in South India,” said one unnamed NIA Official. The agency raided hideouts in Atibele, Kadugodi, K R Puram, Chikkbanavara and Shikaripalya, Electronic City in Bengaluru. “Jahidul Islam disclosed during questioning that after the 2014 Burdwan blast, he and his associates went to southern India to escape the agencies on their trail,” said a NIA spokesperson. At least 3-4 incidents of robberies in Bengaluru, linked to JMB operatives, are currently being examined by the central probe agency while the terror outfit’s leader in India – Jahidul Islam alias Kausar—is being interrogated.

This is the first time the presence of Ansar al-Islam is being registered in India. Last week National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered a case to probe if there was a larger conspiracy to carry out attacks in the country. “It has happened in the past. Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB), a group affiliated with ISIS set up training centres and a base in West Bengal in 2013-14. The NIA launched a crackdown on JMB in which over 50 of its members were nabbed and the outfit wasn’t allowed to spread its wings,” said an unnamed NIA official.

A rally was organised on September 25 by Naga Students Federation (NSF) in Delhi, under the theme, “Implement the Principles of Framework Agreement, reports Morung Express. NSF stated that the decision for the rally was taken against the backdrop of reported Prime Minister’s advice to RN Ravi to find solution in three months, within the Constitution of India; which directly negates the principle of the Framework Agreement. The rally was addressed by various individuals including Naga Hoho (apex body of Naga tribe) General Secretary Elu Ndang and Dal Khalsa Spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh. East Mojo adds that over 1,000 people took part in the demonstration. NSF President Ninoto Awomi stated that “We want to make it very clear to the government that a forced solution won't be acceptable to Nagas. The government has recognised the unique history of the Nagas and, therefore, the solution must also be unique. Even in the past, there have been many agreements like the Nine-Point Agreement (Naga-Akbar Hyadri Accord), the Shillong Accord and the 16 Point Agreement. However, those weren’t able to bring lasting peace”.

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on September 25 stressed there was no “link” between religion and terrorism as he linked the terror incidents with “marginalisation” of communities that “radicalise” them, reports Pakistan Today. The PM made these comments at a round table discussion on hate speech on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, co-hosted by Pakistan and Turkey, which was also attended by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations (UNAOC) Miguel Ángel Moratinos. Noting the growing incidents of discrimination and violence based on religion and belief, the PM underscored the importance of addressing both the drivers and consequences of these phenomena. He cautioned against attempts to “belittle revered personalities and scriptures cloaked in the right to freedom of expression and opinion”. “The world must understand Muslim sensitivities for Islam and the reverence for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” he said. He underscored the need for effective measures to be put in place so that hate speech, especially that which stems from Islamophobia, can be countered. “Marginalisation of any community leads to radicalisation,” he said. “Religion has nothing to do with terrorism.”

The arrestees are Awal Newaz (38) and Fazle Rabbi Chowdhury (18).

They use messengers like “Telegram” and “WhatsApp” to make their communication secure, counterterrorism officials told, adding that the outfit collects funds through different mobile banking services. Later, they convert their funds to dollars and use it to buy Bitcoins, the officials said, adding that a five-member “cell” of ABT was controlling the whole process.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on September 26 allowed outlawed Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed to draw money from his bank account for basic expenses, reports Daily Times. According to reports, Pakistan had approached UNSC with a request to let the JuD chief use his bank account for personal expenses. “The Chair has the honour to refer to his draft letter to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan communicating the Committee’s decision with respect to the intention of the Pakistani authorities to authorize certain expenditures to the benefit of Hafiz Saeed to cover basic expenses,” a note by the chair said. Reports further said UN has allowed Saeed to withdraw approximately USD 1,000 to cover necessary basic living expenses for him and his family. The Foreign Office, meanwhile, said that such an exemption is in line with the established procedures and practices of the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee. “Hafiz Saeed and others had submitted an exemption request for basic expenditure to the United Nations Security Council. The request was later approved by the Council as a matter of routine,” FO spokesperson said in a statement. The spokesperson expressed disappointment that a certain section of Indian media was unnecessarily politicising the issue to cast negative aspersions on Pakistan’s efforts to implement its obligations under the UN sanctions regimes.

Conflict victims on September 26 blasted political leadership for neglecting those who sacrificed everything to bring about political transformation in the country, reports The Himalayan Times. They also warned of another rebellion if political parties and their leaders did not reform themselves and address concerns of victims of the 10-year Maoist insurgency at the earliest. Bhavana Bidhrohi, a former Maoist rebel, speaking at an interaction in Kathmandu in the presence of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal, senior NCP leader Madhav Kumar Nepal and Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba, said “Monarchy was overthrown and a republic system was established. But what have we got? We have been robbed of everything and rendered disabled.” Ram Kumar Bhandari, founder of National Network of the Families of the Disappeared and Missing in Nepal, accused the political leadership of living a luxurious life undermining sacrifices of those who were killed, disappeared and rendered disabled during the conflict. “Political leadership has become dishonest and the state unaccountable,” he said, adding they wanted to know the whereabouts of those who disappeared during the conflict. Former chairperson of Conflict Victims Common Platform Suman Adhikari said “The Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission on Investigation of Enforced Disappeared Persons failed because of politicking and the commissioners’ incompetence, besides lack of necessary legislation.”

Three Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) militants and an Army trooper was killed in an encounter on September 28 at Batote town in Ramban District of Jammu and Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. Two Police personnel were wounded in the encounter. The slain militants were identified as Billal Dhar, Osama Bin Javed and Zahid Hussain sagar. The militants were engaged and killed in the encounter after they held a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member a hostage at Batote. Official reports said the militants initially appeared at village Thore, about nine kilometres from Batote on Batote-Kishtwar National Highway and tried to stop civilian vehicles. However, the vehicle operators managed to escape and sounded Road Opening Party (ROP) of Army and police. The militants fled away from the spot and took mountainous route. For nearly four hours, they remained untraced but surfaced at Batote Bazaar later, where alert security forces engaged them. The militants entered in the house of BJP worker Vijay Kumar Verma and held him hostage. Drones were also used to track down the militants, sources said and added that this was the first encounter in the heart of Batote town during three decades long militancy. With the elimination of three militants, all of whom were operating in Kishtwar, only four dreaded Hizbul Mujahideen militants were now left in the district including Jehangir Saroori, Riaz Ahmad, Mudassir and Haroon, adds Daily Excelsior. While Haroon is a resident of Doda (Doda District), three others belonged to Kishtwar (Kishtwar District).

A document recovered from an encounter spot on the border of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh suggest that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have declared a new division comprising Kanha national park and Bhoramdeo wildlife sanctuary and named it as ‘KB’ Division, reports Hindustan Times on October 1. Kanha national park comes under Mandala and Balaghat Districts of Madhya Pradesh while Bhoramdeo comes under Kawardha in Kabirdham District of Chhattisgarh. Police believe that because of the dense forest and tough terrain the Maoists have declared this area as a division. ‘KB’ Division is now the second division under newly formed MMC zone (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh), the first being GRB (Gondia, Rajnandgaon Balaghat) Division. The MMC zone was created by Maoists in 2016-17. It includes Districts situated at the tri-junction of three States and has seen the presence of ‘Vistaar Dalam’ (Expansion Squad), which has around 200-armed cadre in its ranks. The MMC is presently headed by a ‘central committee, CC’ member of CPI-Maoist Deepak Teltumbde. The document was among the Maoist literature found at a spot where Maoist Jamuna alias Sagan Bai (45) was killed in an encounter in February 28, 2019. Jamuna was allegedly involved in 1999 in the killing of Likhiram Kavre, a minister in the then Madhya Pradesh Government. Jamuna carried an award of INR two billion on her head.

Security Forces (SFs) destroyed a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) camp after a gun battle with Maoist rebels on a forested hill near Pugda village in Rajnandgaon District of Chhattisgarh on September 30, reports The Week. The encounter took place in the morning on a forested hill near Pugda village when some joint teams of various SFs were out on an anti-Maoist operation, Superintendent of Police (SP), Kamlochan Kashyap said. On getting a tip-off about presence of a dozen Maoists at their camp on the hill between Pugda and Korcha villages, various joint squads of the District Reserve Guard (DRG), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) and local Police launched the operation, he said. When one of the patrolling teams was advancing through a forest in Pugda, the rebels fired at them from the hill, forcing the security men to retaliate, he said. After heavy firing from both the sides for a brief period, Maoists escaped into the dense forest, Kashyap said, adding that there was no casualty among the security personnel. Later, the SFs demolished the Maoist camp and recovered a claymore mine (explosive), utensils, camping material and a huge cache of daily use items from there, he added.
