Citing the UN Charter, the description of the app on the Google play store states that 'Voice Punjab 2020' is an App to facilitate voter registration for non-governmental Punjab Independence Referendum 2020 which is being organized under Article 1 of UN Charter which gives all peoples right to "self-determination" making it difficult for India to get the app banned and removed. However, the security agencies with the help of the Information and Technology Ministry and Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) are in the process of getting in touch with Google so that the App can be banned.

The National Investigation Agency on September 2, filed a charge sheet against five suspected operatives of the Islamic State (IS) who, the agency said, utilised the anti-CAA protests to instigate Muslims against the Indian government, reports New Indian Express. The agency also said the accused were planning to carry out “mass-killings in crowded places” to further the activities of IS in India. Filing the charge sheet in a Special NIA Court in Delhi, the agency named a Kashmiri couple, Jahanzaib Sami, 36, and Hina Bashir Beigh, 39. Three others who were charge sheeted are Hyderabad-based Abdullah Basith and Pune-based Sadiya Anwar Shaikh, 20, and Nabeel Siddick Khatri, 27. According to NIA, the accused conspired “to utilise the anti-CAA protests to instigate Muslims against the Indian government by coining seditious slogans and making graffiti at public places and highlighting the same on social and international media”. Jahanzaib, Hina Bashir, Abdullah Basith and Sadiya were also provoking some gullible youth to participate in anti-CAA protests actively. In case these protests failed to provoke the Muslims, they were planning for arsoning of government buildings and public property so that riots could happen and they could exploit the sentiments of Muslims, the agency said. The accused had also conducted reconnaissance at prominent places in Maharashtra, the NIA claimed.

Chief Opposition Whip, Member of Parliament (MP) Lakshman Kiriella addressing a press conference on September 4, said the main opposition, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), is contemplating filing a petition against the proposed 20th Amendment with the Supreme Court (SC), reports Daily Mirror. “We are currently discussing the possibility of filing a petition against the 20th Amendment. Petitions will be filed against the 20th Amendment by many sections. Therefore, we would like to tell the judicial officers to give their verdict in a manner which would protect their dignity. If anyone files a petition against this piece of legislation it will be also to safeguard the self-respect of judicial officers. Therefore, we would like to request the judges who will probably examine the petitions, to deliver a verdict in a manner which would safeguard their self-respect. Judicial officers will lose their self-respect if they allow the amendment to go ahead as they will have to obey the executive who would be appointing them, as per the new legislation,” Mr. Kiriella said.

The ICJ briefing paper provided an assessment of the performance of COIED in addressing the issue of enforced disappearances and evaluated the legal framework that the Commission operates under in the light of international law and standards.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police for South Kashmir range, Atul Goel, on September 9 said that the weapon that was recovered in the evening of September 8 from a truck at Jawahar Tunnel in Kulgam District of Jammu and Kashmir was meant to recruit new youth into militancy, reports Daily Excelsior. “Joint teams of security forces along with police stopped a truck and recovered huge quantities of arms and ammunition including US-made M-4 carbine and AK-47, besides six Chinese pistols. The pistols were seemingly meant for recruiting new people into militancy,” Goel said. The police have so far been able to contain the local militant recruitment after it witnessed a sharp rise earlier. “We will not allow the recruitment to gain ground again,” he said. Asked about the arrests made and whether weapon consignment was meant to be delivered in South Kashmir, the DIG said that two people, including the driver of the truck and the co-driver, have been arrested and a special investigation team has been constituted to find out for whom the weapons were meant to be delivered. SATP earlier reported that Security Forces on September 8 arrested a militant near Jawahar Tunnel in Kulgam District of Jammu and Kashmir and recovered two AK-47 rifles from his possession.

Khalistan is a geopolitical project nurtured by Pakistan, concludes a Canadian think tank – Macdonald-Laurier Institute in its report titled ‘Khalistan: A Project of Pakistan’, which has adverse implications for the national security of both Canada and India, observes The Times of India on September 11. The report highlights how the Khalistan movement – ‘Referendum 2020’ spearheaded by the banned secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), owes its energy to Pakistan. The report authored by Canadian journalist Terry Milewski says: “It does not fit the Khalistani narrative that Pakistan’s treatment of its shrinking Sikh minority has brought demonstrations to the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi. Rather, it makes it all the more bizarre that undying solidarity with Pakistan has become a kind of theme song for the American lawyer, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who leads Sikhs For Justice, the driving force in the campaign for a referendum on Sikh independence.” Pannun, the report observes, has sided with China in its dispute with India and recently wrote to Pakistan PM Imran Khan, swearing that “if India ever attacked Pakistan, the pro-Khalistan Sikhs will extend full support to Pakistan”. The report marks, as a turning point, a 2018 event when Canada’s national security report had to omit a reference to Sikh Khalistanis. The 2018 Public Report on the Terrorism Threat to Canada replaced “Sikh (Khalistani) extremist ideologies and movements” with the more generic “Extremists who support violent means to establish an independent state within India.”

Afghanistan’s international allies welcomed the announcement on the start of the intra-Afghan negotiations on September 12, calling on all stakeholders of the talks to seize this “historic opportunity” and come up with inclusive approach at the negotiating table, Tolo News reported on September 11. United States (US) President Donald Trump on September 10 said that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will head to Doha later in the day to attend the intra-Afghan negotiations. “I can announce, with great pride, that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be departing this evening on a historic trip to Doha, Qatar, for the beginning of intra-Afghan peace negotiations,” Trump said at a press conference at the White House. In a statement, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo welcomed the announcement that Afghanistan peace negotiations will begin on September 12. The start of these talks marks a historic opportunity for Afghanistan to bring an end to four decades of war and bloodshed, he said. “Only through an Afghan-owned, Afghan-led political process -- one that respects the views of all Afghan communities, including women and ethnic and religious minorities--can the parties achieve a durable peace,” he added. US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad who held 18-month-long talks with the Taliban in Doha that led to a peace deal with the group, welcomed the announcements by Qatar, the Afghan Presidential Palace, and the Taliban to start the negotiations on September 12 and said “this is a historic opportunity to end a forty-year war that has no military solution and kills too many Afghans.” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also welcomed the announcement on the start of the talks and said “all parties should seize this historic opportunity and build on the gains made with so much sacrifice. He reiterated that NATO remains committed to Afghanistan’s long-term security. Norwegian Foreign Minister Eriksen Soreide also welcomed the announcement on the start of the intra-Afghan negotiations and said in a statement that “this is an historic opportunity for peace in Afghanistan. “We encourage a constructive and inclusive approach at the negotiating table,” she said.

After the encounter, we recovered a few letters from the spot.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the supply chain of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) aggravating the fund crisis of the organisation in the Bastar Division of Chhattisgarh, reports The New Indian Express on September 14. According to the Maoist documents recovered during the recent joint operation launched by the Security Forces in Sukma District, the rebels claimed to be facing an acute shortage of provisioning for them as the supply network was choked owing to the 24x7 check posts by the forces placed along the interstate and inter-District borders. “The analysis of the Maoist documents revealed that their main area of concern was the obstruction of regular supply of ration and medicines during the lockdown. And even the unlock phases are bringing no apparent respite as we maintained round-the-clock monitoring at the inter-district and inter-state borders where the movement continues to be regulated”, said Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sundarraj Patilingam.

On September 14, in a press statement, ‘deputy secretary and ministry of information and publicity (MIP) in charge’, Chungki, of National Socialist Council of Nagaland/ ‘Government of the People’s Republic of Nagaland- Khaplang’ (NSCN/GPRN-K) refuted the earlier statements issued by MIP on September 13, reports Morung Express. On September 13, NSCN-Khango Konyak faction in an emergency meeting removed its ‘general secretary’ Isak Sumi who also represents the group as the Co-Convenor in the Working Committee of the 7 Naga National Political Groups and instated Kilonser Newell Naga, as the new ‘general secretary’ of the faction, reports Northeasttoday. Sumi was replaced, on the charges of violation of Articles 18 and 23 of the Yezhabo (constitution), nepotism and tribalism. Following the expulsion, MIP had released a statement disowning the leadership of Khango Konyak and affirming the ‘general secretary' post of ‘Col’ Isak Sumi. However, in its recent statement, MIP has stated that Khango Konyak was re-elected as the ‘president’/’chairman’ of NSCN/GPRN-K and co-convenor of NNPGs and the W/C Member as AM Kaiba, Kilonser of NSCN/GPRN-K. MIP also stated that the previous statement regarding the support and co-operation gained by ‘Col’ Isak Sumi “from all the regions” tends to be “baseless as all the recognised regions of NSCN-K are intact and present at council headquarters (CHQ) Anmoi (Yongkhao Village)”. As a result, the Government of India (GoI) has directed ‘Col’ Isak Sumi to “vacate the ceasefire office in Dimapur and to submit all government properties.”

In addition to the ongoing offensive operations against the red guerrillas, there is strong need to expose the real and ugly face of the Maoists. For that, we have launched this counter-propaganda psyops (psychological operations) against Maoist misdeeds.”

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) on September 17 urged the Government and opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) to come forward to defeat the 20th Amendment to the Constitution claiming that the country would have to face repercussions of the 20A before long, reports Daily Mirror. JVP Propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath said, “It seems that there is an issue within the government on the 20A. That is why, committees are appointed to study it. Appointing committees to study the 20A which was approved by the Cabinet clearly shows the rift in the government on the matter. Ministers in the Cabinet had approved it without studying it. They have done so due to fear of the President. This is not democracy. If there was democracy, ministers would not have been forced to approve it on the same day when the 20A was presented. The normal practice is to allow ministers to study a Cabinet paper for a week. In this case, they were forced to approve it on the same day,” he said.

The Border Security Force (BSF) on September 20 foiled an infiltration attempt from Pakistan along the International Border (IB) in Arnia Sector of Jammu District of Jammu and Kashmir, reports Dily Excelsior. Inspector General of BSF, Jammu frontier, N S Jamwal said an attempt to smuggle the narcotics and weapons was scuttled by BSF personnel of Budhwar and Bullechak border outposts in Arnia area at around 2am [IST], leading to the recovery of 62 packets of heroin — each packet weighing one kilogram, two Chinese pistols with three magazines and 100 rounds. The IG BSF said, “We were alert to the threat and around 2 am, a group of persons were noticed on the Pakistani territory and two to three of them came closer to the border fence to sneak into this side but were challenged by the BSF personnel,” adding they opened fire but retreated to Pakistani side taking advantage of darkness and thick foliage, when the BSF retaliated, leaving behind the consignment of drugs and weapons. Jamwal also said it is for the first time that PVC pipe was used to hide the narcotics to facilitate its smuggling into the Union Territory. “The terror infrastructure (in Pakistan) is intact as is evident from the increased activities like attempts to smuggle weapons and narcotics and firing incidents on the borders,” he also said. “Though it is for the first time in J&K but such type of modus operandi is in the knowledge of BSF which has successfully foiled similar attempts in Punjab over the years,” he said. The consignment was worth around INR 300 crore in the international market. Senior Superintendent of Police, Jammu, Sridhar Patil said, “We see it as narco-terrorism supported by Pakistan. We have successfully foiled a number of attempts of narcotic smuggling from Pakistan over the past two years.”

Pakistan has used terrorist groups to change the status quo in Jammu and Kashmir, which has undermined every peace effort and impacted human rights negatively, says a US thinktank member, reports Times of India. In a statement to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and Nonproliferation, Alyssa Ayres, senior fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations thinktank, on September 21 said the situation is complex and tragic in Kashmir. There is documented history of Pakistan-based terrorists active in Indian-administered Kashmir, and Kashmiris and the Indian government continue to face a difficult challenge of border security and terrorism in this region, Aryes said. "Terrorism has undermined every effort at peace in the last two decades and continues to create insecurity. I would also like to acknowledge the longstanding suffering of the Kashmiri Pandits, a Hindu community driven from their Kashmiri homeland in the early years of the insurgency at the beginning of the 1990s,” she added. Ayres said the Indian government revoked Article 370 in August 2019 to tackle terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. “More than a year on, it is hard to see improvements on that front,” she said.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Reformation (NSCN-R) ‘vice-president’ Akato Chophi confirmed that ‘chairman’ of the breakaway faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) ‘lieutenant general (retired)’, Nyemlang Konyak and four of his followers have joined NSCN-R, reports Nagaland Post on September 23. Speaking on the speculation of Nyemlang surrendered to Indian forces along with the arms and ammunition, Akato stated that Wangtin Naga, ‘president’ of NSCN-R had approached Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), Government of India (GoI) for providing safe passage to Nyemlang who expressed desire to join NSCN-R camp. Nyemlang and his four followers have safely reached NSCN-R without surrendering or laying down weapons to the security forces. Due to being stuck in between India and Myanmar, more followers of Nyemlang are yet to join NSCN-R. According to Akato, Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) have extended ‘olive branch’ to other Naga militant factions to join the ongoing peace process with GoI under its banner.

The banned US-based secessionist group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) announced a grant of USD 1 million for farmers in Punjab and Haryana in lieu of their support for ‘Khalistan’, reports IANS on September 23. The announcement comes following the recent farmers’ protest against the three contentious agriculture-related Bills passed by the Parliament. SFJ’s offer has alerted security and intelligence agencies, which have shared the inputs with law-enforcement wings in both the States. SFJ’s legal adviser, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said, “From October 1 to October 8, any farmer -- irrespective of his faith -- can register 25 votes for the Khalistan Referendum 2020 and get a grant of Rs 5,000 as assistance to repay their agricultural loans.” Calling the Indian government's new farms Bills as a “colonial agenda to ultimately turn the farmers landless”, Pannun said in his announcement that “the Modi government wants to enslave the farmers of Punjab and Haryana by turning them into destitutes. The SFJ has included farmers of Haryana also because we consider Haryana as part of Khalistan.”

Following the arrest of six suspected al-Qaeda operatives in Murshidabad District on September 19, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said it believes that Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) may have played a role in helping al-Qaeda spread its influence in the region, Indian Express reports on September 23. Al-Qaeda has been trying to gain a foothold among Bengali labourers in Kerala, just like the JMB, according to the agency. The Police said there were enough inputs to believe that key JMB operative Mohammad Salauddin alias Salehan had taken shelter in villages in districts such as Coochbehar, Uttar Dinajpur, Malda, Murshidabad and Nadia of West Bengal that are located along India-Bangladesh border.

An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on September 22, pronounced death sentence to Abdul Rehman alias Bhola and Zubair Charya, who were affiliated with Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), reports The Express Tribune. At least 260 people were killed in the fire at Ali Enterprises garments factory in Baldia Town on September 11, 2012. The incident was initially deemed as an accident but was later termed an arson attack over non-payment of extortion. The court found that the men set the building ablaze because of a non-payment of extortion money by the garment factory owners. The two-prime accused, MQM's former provincial minister for commerce and industries Rauf Siddiqui and others were presented in court for hearing. Rauf Siddiqui, however, was acquitted by the court. The verdict was earlier due on September 17, but the court had adjourned the hearing of the case to September 22 without giving a verdict in the case. Abdul Rehman was arrested from Thailand through the Interpol. He was brought back to the country by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and later handed over to the Police for further legal proceedings. In July, the Baldia factory inferno joint investigation team's (JIT) 27-page report stated that factory incident was an act of organised terrorism. The report said that the factory was set on fire for not paying extortion money of up to PKR 250 million and leaders of MQM – Hammad Siddiqui and Rehman Bhola – were involved in the act. It had further stated that the Baldia factory case was handled in a non-professional manner and from the day it was dealt with in such a way that the group involved in the act of terrorism benefitted.

The Minister of Justice Ali Sabry presented the Bill entitled “Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution” to amend the Constitution of Sri Lanka to Parliament on September 22, amid the protests from the opposition, reports Colombo Page. The main opposition party, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) protested the Bill which grants more powers to the President repealing the 19th Amendment which strengthened the role of the parliament and curbed the powers of the Executive President. Leader of Opposition and SJB Sajith Premadasa said, "Today is a dark day for democracy." According to the Attorney General, the bill needs only a two-third majority to be passed in Parliament and the Government has the required majority with the 145 seats won by the ruling party Sri Lanka's Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) at the August 5 parliamentary elections and the support of six allies in the 225-member Parliament.

According to data released by Chhattisgarh Police, at least 34 civilians have been killed by Maoists in the State in the first nine months of 2020, reports Indian Express on September 24. In 2019, 46 civilians had been killed. Police officials claim Maoists are acting out of desperation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Bastar Inspector General (IG) Sundarraj Patilingam said that since the Covid-19 lockdown in March, the police have increased their outreach and thus Maoists are lashing out. “They are acting out because several cadres have surrendered. Despite adverse conditions, district authorities and the police have helped and led to the development of villages, building trust between villagers and the authorities. This is disconcerting for them, so they are trying to terrorize villagers,” the IG said.

This is not something like punishing a thief. Court is not a place to check the validity of a Constitution. The Court is only checking the technical aspects related to a Constitutional Amendment. It is better to remind of the Supreme Court verdict on the 18th Amendment. The SC did not consider whether it was good or bad. This is a political matter and it should be resolved in society among the people,” he said.

R. Latif, DIG Special Protection Range Priyalal Dassanayake and Director of Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) Waruna Jayasundara, and also they had been informed about it over the phone. Mr. Jayasundara said that he also telephoned all SDIGs in charge of the respective provinces. Witness claimed that, though he had given specific instructions about the possible terror attack to all the senior police officers, however, during the investigation he found that all his telephone call records were found deleted. "Former President Sirisena's brother was the head of the Sri Lanka Telecom and Mobitel during this period. The Commission should probe thoroughly to find what had happened to these call records," he said. Former IGP also claimed that his phone conversations had been tapped by the SIS and also deployed officers near his residence to monitor him.

Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) General Secretary Tilvyn Silva on September 24 said that the JVP is in the forefront in abolishing the Executive Presidency, reports Daily News. He said “The 19th Amendment was brought to curtail the excessive powers of the President until such time the Executive Presidency is abolished. The Separation of power between the Executive, Judiciary and the Legislature and Check and balances are key principles of a democratic government to ensure that no branch would be too powerful. What the government is going to do through the 20th Amendment is to allow one branch to grab all powers ignoring the basic principle of democracy.” Silva added that the Government is dancing to the tune of imperialists.

The meeting between the Contact Groups of the Afghanistan Government and the Taliban in Doha have been stalled for the past two days, reports Tolo News on September 25. The meetings were aimed at reaching an agreement about the procedural rules intended to guide the formal talks. The Taliban demands recognition of the US-Taliban agreement as the 'mother deal' underlying the Afghan peace negotiations, and Hanafi Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) as the sole legal guidelines for the talks. The Government has proposed that if a religious issue arises it can be solved based on Hanafi Fiqh by default, however, the Shia Personal Status Law must be respected, and the choice of religious jurisprudence should be given to other minority groups as well.

The Army had taken disciplinary action against 15 officers and soldiers after the 2014 attack on Peshawar’s Army Public School, revealed an inquiry report on September 25, reports Samaa TV. According to the inquiry report, at least four Army personnel, including a Major, were removed from the services by the military’s court of inquiry and five others were jailed for 28 days. Colonel Kashif, a representative of the Army, told the judicial commission that the officers and soldiers didn’t show negligence but the action against them was taken because they didn’t maintain Army’s highest standard while responding to the attack on the school. In October 2018, Supreme Court’s former chief justice Saqib Nisar had set up a one-man commission headed by Justice Khan. The commission was made after the parents of children demanded the authorities form a high-level inquiry commission to investigate the massacre. The judicial commission submitted its report in the Supreme Court in July. The commission recorded the statements of 101 witnesses and 31 Police and other officials of law enforcement agencies for its 3,000-page report. It was prepared by Justice Muhammad Ibrahim Khan of the Peshawar High Court.

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on September 26, said the hasty international withdrawal from Afghanistan would be unwise, reports The Times of India. In an opinion piece for The Washington Post, Khan said that all partners in the Afghan peace process should "resist the temptation" for setting early timelines and guard against those actors who wish to see instability in Afghanistan for their own geopolitical interest. The stakeholders involved in the Afghan peace process should refrain from the temptation for setting "unrealistic" timelines for an early withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan as it would be "unwise" to do so, said PM Khan. Talking about the ongoing talks, Khan said that intra-Afghan negotiations will require patience and compromise from all sides. He said that "a bloodless deadlock on the negotiating table is infinitely better than a bloody stalemate on the battlefield."
