Army, Paramilitary Forces and Police shall organise special recruitment rallies to recruit Karbi youths, according to the provision of the MoS. Pre-recruitment training exercises will be organized by the agencies to facilitate the process. “All signatory armed groups shall abjure the path of violence, surrender their weapons and disband their organisations within one month of signing of the Agreement. All camps occupied by these groups shall be vacated forthwith,” Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma informed. Sarma also announced that the Assam government will provide financial compensation of Rs 5 lakh to each of the next of kin of persons who lost their lives in agitations related to autonomous state demand and have not yet been compensated in any manner.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on September 6 issued a warning to the media and journalists, asking them to refrain from calling them a “terrorist outfit” or they will be treated as enemies, reports Dawn.

Khurasani said the media used such obnoxious terms for the TTP at the behest of one party, which had selected it for its rivals. Therefore, the media should call them with the name of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Otherwise, the media would do professional dishonesty and would create enemies for itself, the statement added.

The Maharashtra Government extended the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] Surrender Policy in the State for two more years, reports Free Press Journal on September 8. The decision was taken by the State Government on September 7, officials said, adding, the policy was introduced in 2005 with the aim to curb the Naxal movement in the State. Recently, the Police in Gadchiroli had taken initiatives to create job opportunities for Naxal-affected people so that they do not take the wrong path. This year, 22 Naxals have been killed by the Police in encounters and at least eight Naxals have surrendered. "Naxal surrender Policy has proved to be a successful weapon against the Naxal movements in the state. Considering this, the Director General of Police had requested to give a two-year extension to this policy. The government has hence given an extension to the policy till August 2023," said a State Government official. "The policy is indeed very useful. We had formed a self-help group for those who were into Naxal activities and provided them with different training. For the unemployed from the tribal, we help them in skill development so that they get a job or self-employment opportunities," Superintendent of Police (SP), Gadchiroli, Ankit Goyal said.

Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) lawmakers stalled proceedings in both Houses of the Parliament on September 8 accusing Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota of being complicit in the 'conspiracy' to split their party, reports The Himalayan Times. On the first day of the new session of the Parliament, Speaker Sapkota had to postpone the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting more than once to defuse the tense situation, but lawmakers from the main opposition continued to stall House proceedings. Home Minister Bal Krishna Khand tabled the Political Party Act (Second Amendment) Ordinance in the House of Representatives amid sloganeering by CPN-UML lawmakers against Speaker Sapkota for not confirming the expulsion of 14 CPN-UML lawmakers, including Madhav Kumar Nepal, who later split the party and formed a separate party – Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Socialist (CPN-Unified Socialist). As soon as the Lower House commenced, CPN-UML Chief Whip Bishal Bhattarai rose from his chair saying that Sapkota did not act impartially when the party wrote asking him to confirm the expulsion of 14 lawmakers for defying the party whip. Instead, he became a part of the conspiracy to split the CPN-UML.

The Special Rapporteurs have expressed further concern at the reported irregularities in due process, partly facilitated by the PTA which allowed Hizbullah to be held without charge for almost a year with severely restricted access to lawyers.

We've also trained hundreds of thousands of Afghan forces over the last 20 years at a cost of over a trillion dollars.

India and Australia on September 11, asserted that Afghanistan must not allow its soil to be used in any manner for terrorism and it should never again become a safe haven for "breeding and training" of terrorists, as the two countries held a detailed discussion on the situation in the war-torn country after its takeover by the Taliban, reports NDTV. At the inaugural India-Australia two-plus-two dialogue, the foreign and defence ministers of the two countries also vowed to work towards a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific, a region that has been witnessing increasing Chinese assertiveness. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held extensive in-person talks with their Australian counterparts Marise Payne and Peter Dutton. Noting that Afghanistan was a "major subject of discussion", Jaishankar said, "We had a very detailed exchange of views and our approach is very similar in a way it is summed up by the UN Security Council Resolution 2593 which emphasises most of all that Afghanistan must not allow its soil to be used in any manner by anybody for terrorism." On her part, Ms Payne said Australia shares a very strong interest in ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a "safe haven for breeding or training of terrorists", noting that it is an abiding concern of the international community. "Along with the ongoing fight of terrorism, the future of Afghanistan remains a central concern to both of us," she said.

Ahmad Massoud, the leader of the resistance forces in Panjshir valley, is still in Afghanistan but 70 per cent of the main streets in Panjshir are under the control of the Taliban, Iranian news agency Fars has reported citing people familiar with the situation, reports Hindustan Times on September 12. Fars reported on September 11 that rumours about Massoud, the son of late former Afghan guerrilla commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, leaving Afghanistan for Turkey or any other place are false and the resistance leader is said to be in a safe place. The Taliban said that they have captured the Afghan province of Panjshir, the last resistance stronghold in the country, a claim denied by the National Resistance Front (NRF) led by Massoud and former Afghan vice president Amrullah Saleh, who has declared himself caretaker president. Panjshir was the last Afghan province holding out against the Taliban who swept to power last month and have now declared an interim government. The NRF said that the resistance forces are present at all strategic positions across the valley to continue the fight.

The Taliban raised their flag over the Afghan Presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan on September 11, reports First Post. Ahmadullah Muttaqi, multimedia branch ‘chief’ of the Taliban’s cultural commission said, the white banner, emblazoned with a Quranic verse, was hoisted by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, the prime minister of the Taliban interim Government, in a low-key ceremony, adding, the flag-raising marked the official start of the work of the new Government. The composition of the all-male, all-Taliban Government was announced on September 7, and was met with disappointment by the international community which had hoped the Taliban would make good on an earlier promise of an inclusive line up. In a tweet, Afghanistan's first president to follow the 2001 collapse of the Taliban, Hamid Karzai, called for “peace and stability” and expressed the hope that the new caretaker Cabinet that included no women and no non-Taliban would become an “inclusive government that can be the real face of the whole Afghanistan.”

US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said that former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s decision to flee the country last month shattered a last-minute deal with the Islamic Emirate that was designed to negotiate a political transition, reports Ariana News on September 15. In an interview with the Financial Times, US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said according to the plan, Ghani would have remained in his post until an agreement was reached on a future government – even as the Taliban’s forces were at the gates of Kabul. However, Khalilzad said the power vacuum left by Ghani’s unexpected escape on August 15 led to the fall of his government and the takeover by the Islamic Emirate. He said the escape of the President and takeover by the Taliban, in turn, sparked a chaotic evacuation of civilians and troops and effectively ended the talks in Doha.

Calling for adopting a policy of non-interference in Afghanistan, the Awami National Party (ANP) on September 15 expressed concern over “regrouping” of terrorist organisations and rise in incidents of extortion and targeted killings in the country, report Dawn. Speaking at a news conference after a meeting of the party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) in Islamabad, ANP’s senior vice-president and Member of National Assembly (MNA) from Mardan, Amir Haider Hoti asked the Government and the state to adopt a clear policy and make correct decisions at right time after taking parliament into confidence as the country could no more afford another phase of terrorism. The CEC meeting was convened to discuss the situation in Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover last month and its possible implications for Pakistan and the region, besides discussing the prevailing political situation in the country, particularly the Government’s act of targeting the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the proposed setting up of the controversial Pakistan Media Development Authority (PMDA). Mr Hoti stated that once again the security institutions, police and even the general public were becoming a victim of terrorism and target killings and the people had once again started receiving telephone calls demanding extortions all over the country, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Mr Hoti made it clear that the ANP had no favourites in Afghanistan. He said the ANP only wanted to see peace in the neighbouring war-torn country and believed that the people of Afghanistan should decide their own future. No other country had the right to make a decision about the future of the people of Afghanistan.

Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Shah Mahmood Qureshi on September 15 said that the Government would be "open to giving" a pardon to cadres of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) if they promise not to get involved in terrorist activities and submit to the Pakistani Constitution, reports Dawn. In an interview with The Independent in Islamabad whose video was posted on social media by the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan was concerned about the reports of TTP figures being released from prisons in the wake of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. "If those guys come and start creating problems for us over here, it will affect innocent lives and we don't want that," he said while referring to the TTP. Shah Mahmood Qureshi further said if the new Afghan setup could use its influence and talk to the TTP, and "if [the TTP] are willing to mend fences and not take the law into their hands and not get involved in terrorist activities and they submit and surrender to the writ of the government and the Constitution of Pakistan, we are even open to giving them a pardon." "But as long as they do not come and start undertaking terrorist activities [in Pakistan]. That is our concern," the minister emphasised. Qureshi termed as "positive" the Afghan Taliban administration's announcement that they would not allow any terrorist groups to use their soil against any country, including Pakistan. He said Pakistan had been "continuously" pointing out TTP sanctuaries to the Ashraf Ghani government, "but they wouldn't move". It remains to be seen whether the Afghan Taliban act on their assurances, Qureshi added.

India's intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), along with a special unit of Delhi Police, carried out a covert operation with the US's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 2016 to neutralise Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) training camps in Afghanistan, India Today reports on September 18. In the latest edition of its propaganda magazine, ISIS-K claimed that the suicide bomber, who attacked outside the Kabul airport last month, was caught in Delhi five years ago and later deported to Afghanistan. According to sources, the suicide bomber, Abdur Rahman al-logri, was handed over by the Indian agencies to Afghanistan where he revealed the locations of ISIS-K training camps. These camps were later targeted in US drone strikes, sources said. According to sources, the suicide bomber came to India as a student and took admission in Faridabad, Haryana. However, instead of attending classes, he used to do recce of places in Delhi and nearby areas, sources said. When the RAW got inputs on him, it shared the information with the Special Cell of Delhi Police who nabbed the suicide bomber in 2016. He was then interrogated by multiple agencies where he revealed information about many terror training camps active in Afghanistan. After interrogation, he was deported to Afghanistan. Upon his return, he was again probed by the Afghan security officials about the ISIS-K training camps. Based on his inputs, the US forces targeted the ISIS-K terror training camps through drone strikes. Over 600 terrorists, both from the Taliban and ISIS-K, were killed in the US drone strikes, sources said.

Key Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders Azad and Raji Reddy alias Venkatesh are willing to surrender and join the social mainstream due to health problems, Director General of Police (DGP), M Mahendar Reddy said on September 17, adding that the CPI-Maoist party leadership, however, is not allowing them to surrender, reports Telangana Today. Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected the entire world, also left the Maoist party in crisis due to lack of proper healthcare facilities, he said, adding that Azad and Raji Reddy’s health condition had at one time deteriorated but they recovered subsequently. The cadre was also caught in a state of disappointment in the wake of Covid and various diseases in forest and the best example was that of Telangana State Secretary Haribhushan alias Yapa Narayana who died of Covid. “Maoist leaders are willing to come out of the party and join the social mainstream but the leadership is sending armed dalams and threatening them not to surrender,” Mahender Reddy said, addressing a press conference to announce the surrender of Haribushan’s wife Jajjeri Samakka alias Sharadakka. “It’s an appeal to Maoists to join the mainstream so that they can get proper treatment along with rehabilitation package from the State government,” he said, adding, “You (Maoists) could either die in an encounter or in an exchange of fire if you continue in the party or die of health issue. For the last 40 years, their ideology of power through the barrel of the gun did not yield any result. Please think of joining the mainstream so that you can stay with your families and friends.”

Surrendered senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Jajjeri Samakka alias Sharadakka (45), who surrendered in Hyderabad District of Telangana on September 17, appealed to the Maoist cadres that 'there is no reason to continue the guerilla warfare and mindless violence' by them as people are getting enlightened and no more prepared to tolerate it, reports UNI.

The State Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has corroborated the presence of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader C P Moideen (45) in the recent three sightings of Maoists at Chakkittapara near Perambra in Koyilandy Taluk (revenue sub-division) in Kozhikode District of Kerala, reports The New Indian Express on September 19. The armed gang had appeared at Payyanikotta, Muthukad and near Perambra estate run by Plantation Corporation of Kerala (PCK) within one-and-a-half months. Maoists had distributed propaganda materials against an iron ore mining project and tourism activities alleging that Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leaders Elamaram Kareem Member of Parliament (MP), T P Ramakrishnan Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), and Chakkittapara Grama Panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) president K Sunil had interest in the project. “Moideen is a senior member of the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee (WGSZC) of the CPI Maoist. Earlier he was with Kabani Dalam (armed squad) but now he is under Banasura Dalam. He may be deputed to carry out propaganda work,” said an ATS source. With a hand lost allegedly in an accident, Moideen has been in the forest across Wayanad, Nilambur and Kannur since 2017, says ATS. “He is the ideological face of the banned outfit, though he may be physically weak. His hand was said to be lost in a gas cylinder explosion which is not confirmed,” said the source. A native of Pandikkad in Malappuram District, Moideen is the elder brother of C P Jaleel and C P Ismayil, who were also members of the Maoist group. The former was killed in a controversial encounter with state police in 2019 in Wayanad, and the latter was arrested by Maharashtra ATS along with then senior-most leader of the outfit - Murali Kannampilly - in Pune in 2015. Ismail is out on bail now. CPM has unleashed a strong counter campaign against Maoists in the area. “No iron ore mining project is proposed in the Kozhikode District. It was abandoned long back. Maoists are running baseless propaganda against CPM leaders,” said K Sunil, Chakkittapara Grama Panchayat president. Sunil is under Police protection owing to Maoist threat. CPM Muthukad local committee had conducted a torch light protest against Maoists on September 15.

A 45-year-old tribal, Somaji Sadmek, was shot dead by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres near Hedri in Etapalli Tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on September 19, reports The Times of India. Police sources said the Maoists also left some pamphlets near Sadmek’s body, which was found near a temple adjoining Surjagarh hillock where mining is underway. Somaji was whisked away from his residence a day ago. Through the pamphlets, the Maoists have voiced their angst against the mining work and targeted political parties for backing the corporate company to run the project. Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP), Ankit Goyal said the pamphlets left behind near the body indicated that the murder could be connected to Surjagarh project.

Banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Party ‘central committee’ (CC) has extended support to the Bharat Bandh (all India shut down strike) on September 27, reports The Times of India on September 20. In a press statement issued on September 19, Maoist ‘CC spokesperson’ Abhay stated that the party supports the Bandh call, given by farmers against the Centre’s farm laws, and the ongoing peasant movement for the past 10 months. The Maoists condemned the Yogi Adityanath Government for making a bid to curtail Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU)’s Kisan Maha Panchayat, which was held in Muzaffarnagar on September 5. Hindutva forces brought Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to power at the Centre and were instigating riots in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Sixty-two persons had died in attacks by Hindutva forces and 50,000 people became homeless since 2013. They were trying to foil the farmers’ agitation; however, the farmers were advancing towards success against Hindutva forces for the past 10 months. He stated that the Maoist party stands with the farmers and salutes their struggle, Abhay said.

"I am not looking at questions on Taliban or foreign terrorists or local terrorists. For us, it has got nothing to do with the quality and quantity. If there is a gentleman who picks up a weapon, he will be neutralised either way -- by getting killed or by getting apprehended and if he comes and offers (to) surrender, we will take surrender," he added.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), on September 21, conducted multiple raids in five Districts of the Union Territory (UT) including three in Kashmir division and two in Jammu region in connection with recovery of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) dropped using drone on the day two drones struck at Indian Air force (IAF) Station at Satwari injuring two officials and causing minor damage to the building, reports Daily Excelsior. An NIA statement issued said many digital devices and other incrimination material have been recovered from the premises of persons whose houses were raided today (September 21). Three militants, two of them hailing from Banihal tehsil (revenue unit) in Ramban District and another from Shopian have already been arrested in connection with recovery of the IED at Bhatindi under Trikuta Nagar Police Station in Jammu District including the one who had to plant the explosive device at a crowded place. The case was registered at Trikuta Nagar Police Station on June 27 this year while investigations were later handed over to the NIA which reregistered the case on July 19. The NIA raided the house of Jal Shakti Department official Ghulam Mohammad Dar (45), son of Abdul Gani Dar at Tendar Dothan Gaddatter village in Gundana area in Doda District. “The NIA team was looking for his son Javed Iqbal Dar, 31, who is reportedly MA B Ed as there were reports with the Agency that he might have been connected with militants in Pakistan through WhatsApp,” sources said, adding that the family, however, claimed that Javed Dar was putting up in Ladakh for the past few months. Sources said the NIA team might establish contact with Ladakh Police to trace Javed Dar. Information about Javed Dar’s links with the militants was reportedly given by three militants already arrested in connection with recovery of the IED. The NIA team also conducted searches in the house of an ex-serviceman of Territorial Army Talib Naik at Masjid Mohalla in Kishtwar. “During searches conducted today, many digital devices and other incriminating materials have been recovered from the premises of suspects,” an official statement issued by the NIA after completion of the raids, said. It said investigations into the case revealed that Pakistan based handlers of proscribed terror outfit of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and their associates based in Jammu and Kashmir are planning terror activities in the Union Territory using the pseudo-acronym The Resistance Front (TRF) so as to maintain plausible deniability and evade Law Enforcement agencies. Meanwhile, the NIA raided the residence of Mohammad Shafi Wani son of Abdul Gani, a resident of Lasjan on the outskirts of Srinagar. They searched the residence and seized the mobile phones of Mohammad Shafi and his son identified as Rayees Wani. Mohammad Shafi was detained and taken to Police Station Panta-Chowk for further questioning. The NIA also searched the residence of Waseem Ahmad Dar son of Nazir Ahmad Dar, a resident of Larm Ganjipora area of Kulgam District. In Anantnag District, searches were carried out in the residence of Bashir Ahmad Padder son of Ghulam Mohammad Padder, a resident of Bamnu Sadiwar, and in Baramulla District, a raid is being conducted in the house of Ghulam Mohiudin Wani son of Ghulam Mohammad Wani, a resident of Zandfaran Sheer who is an employee in Sericulture department.

The Police have sounded an alert across the Kolhan division in view of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘foundation day week’ observance starting from September 21, reports The Avenue Mail on September 21. As part of the strategy, Policemen have been asked to avoid routine movements. They have also been asked to strengthen the intelligence network along the borders with West Bengal and Odisha to assess the situation and avoid violent incidents. Meanwhile, the Police intensified the anti-Maoist operations in areas along the border with West Bengal. Sources informed that the high alert has been after intelligence reports that the Maoists may indulge in violence in Seraikela Kharsawan. According to sources, Seraikela Kharsawan has emerged as the hotbed of Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] violence with the banned outfit CPI-Maoist increasing its activities. Sources informed that apart from wall painting and waging poster campaigns to trigger blasts, the Maoists have made their presence felt to the Security Forces (SFs) involved in anti-Maoist operations. Sources informed that there are intelligence inputs that CPI (Maoist) may indulge in demonstrative acts of violence by targeting SFs and economic infrastructures such as trains, buses, railway stations, bus stations and other places where people are likely to gather in significant numbers. According to intelligence sources, the rebels are trying to observe the ‘foundation day week’ by organising small meetings at a number of places in West Singhbhum and adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan District, and Chowka forest is one of the probable venues for such meetings.

District Police Officer (DPO) Tank, Sahibzada Sajjad said the Government Girls Middle School Kalu Parangi located on the outskirts of Tank, which was under construction, had been targeted in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack which left it partially damaged. “The school building was not the target itself as the contractor was receiving calls from neighboring Afghanistan and the callers were asking for ‘donations’ which he did not comply with and as a result the school was attacked,” he said. “Dynamite which is used for rock blasting and mining was used in the attack.” The targeting of a girls middle school has caused widespread panic among the locals of the area. In the past, girls’ schools were frequently attacked in Swat, Peshawar, tribal Districts and frontier regions.

A meeting of the top leaders of the ruling parties on September 22 ended inconclusively as the coalition partners could not agree on a power sharing deal in the new Cabinet, reports Republica. The meeting failed to make any concrete agreement as the party leaders remained adamant on their own stance on various issues including the ordinance related to political parties, expansion of the cabinet and sharing of the ministerial portfolios. Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba is preparing to keep at least seven ministries with the NC. Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Center) have also demanded an almost equal number of ministries. Sources claim that the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Socialist (CPN-Unified Socialist) and the Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) have also demanded the same number of ministries as the NC and the CPN-Maoist Center. However, the CPN-Maoist Center have been offered seven ministries, the CPN-Unified Socialist six and the JSP a maximum of five ministries. “This is why no agreement could be reached,” the source added.

The DGP said that the Mandla District has been classified under the 'District of Concern' category because of the movement of 'Vistaar Dalam' of Maoists from Chhattisgarh recently, but they were not able to muster support from the locals. "They are also unable to hire local youth in their cadre here as the state police have taken effective measures to prevent their movement in the state, including encounters," DGP, Johri said. Talking about the Dindori District, the DGP said that it has been included in the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme because the State administration wanted to fortify the Police Stations and other security set ups in the District to prevent the Maoists from making inroads in these areas. Admitting that Maoist movement along the MP-Chhattisgarh border areas is a matter of concern for the State, he said that the Police force is capable enough to handle the security situation.

The leaders of Afghanistan’s opposition including the armed National Resistance Front (NRF) against the Taliban have left the country and are regrouping intending to form a government in exile, reports Foreign Policy on September 24. Politicians including ministers and parliamentary deputies of the deposed government, as well as senior military figures, are in neighboring Tajikistan, seeking financial and military support to bolster a formal opposition to the Taliban, former officials living abroad said. Ahmad Massoud, and former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh, who both led a short-lived resistance in the Panjshir Valley northeast of Kabul, fled across the border in recent weeks after their efforts to hold out against the Taliban were crushed. A former senior Afghan security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the resistance comprises three broad categories: supporters of Saleh and Massoud’s NRF; former officers, including generals of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), as well as senior officials of the former Defense and Interior Ministries; and former Ministers and Deputy Ministers. Discussions are in the early stages, and the groups are yet to unite ideologically.

A senior army commander, on September 28, said the army averted a militant attack by killing a Pakistani infiltrator and captured another alive along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector in Baramulla District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports brighterkashmir.com. The army commander said during a week, Army killed seven militants and recovered seven AK rifles, nine pistols and revolvers, and more than 80 grenades of various kinds besides Pakistani and Indian currency near the LoC. General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Baramulla based- Army’s 19 Infantry Division, Major General Virendra Vats said that army launched the operation on September 18 after the Army noticed suspicious movement along the LoC in Salamabad, Uri. “An encounter took place when the infiltrators -- believed to be six -- were challenged. While four of them ran back towards the other side of the fence due to dense foliage and darkness, two sneaked into this side of the LoC,” he said. “We zeroed-in on the Salamabad Nallah, approximately 800 m inside the LoC, on September 25 and in the ensuing encounter, one militant was killed the next morning,” Maj Gen Vats said adding, “Another militant pleaded that his life be spared. As is the ethos of the Indian Army, after taking due precautions, he was taken into custody alive”. The arrested infiltrator was identified as Ali Babar Parra (19), resident of Okara District in Punjab province of Pakistan. Major General Vats said the slain militant was identified as Atiq ur Rehman alias Qari Anas (33), belonging to Attock District in Punjab of Pakistan. “The arrested militant has admitted to be a member of Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] and was trained in Muzaffarabad," GoC 19 Infantry Brigade said. “He has revealed that he was trained for three weeks at Khyber camp, Ghadiwala in Muzaffarabad in 2019”. “He was recalled this year for some important task and was told by his handlers that he has to drop supplies at Pattan. But when we went through the recoveries and modus operandi, it shows that they had come here for some kind of a strike which went beyond the drop of supplies,” he said. Maj Gen Vats said the infiltration attempt was made along the Salamabad Nala, which was the same route used for the 2016 suicide attack on the Uri garrison in which 19 army men were killed and many others injured. He said the infiltrating militants was supported by the Pakistani side with three porters bringing supplies till the LoC. “The movement of such a large number of people cannot take place without active complicity of the Pakistan Army deployed on the other side,” he said. Major General Vats said there has been an increased movement at the launch pad across the LoC. "This shows the desperation of Pakistan that when they see peace in Kashmir, they send militants to disturb peace by sensational strike”. He also said seven militants have been killed in as many days while one has been arrested alive. “Indian Army recovered seven AK rifles, nine pistols and revolvers, and more than 80 grenades of various kinds besides Pakistani and Indian currency,” he added.

Articulating a broad vision of India’s role on the world stage and raising questions on the effectiveness and reliability of the United Nations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 25, described India as the “mother of democracy”, and said “democracy can deliver” and “has delivered”, reports Indian Express. In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) the Prime Minister took on China’s expansionism in the Indo-Pacific and its capacity to undermine international institutions. He cited the example of the manipulation of World Bank’s ease of doing business rankings. Underlining that the world is facing an “increased threat of regressive thinking and extremism”, Modi told the global community that it needs to be alert and ensure that no country tries to take advantage of “the delicate situation” in Afghanistan and use it as a “tool for its own selfish interests”. Targeting Pakistan following his discussions with leaders of the Quad and with US President Joe Biden, he drew attention to Islamabad’s “regressive thinking” and its use of “terrorism as a political tool”.

Almora Police claimed to have unearthed a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hideout located in a cave deep inside the forests of Buda Jageswhar area in Almora District of Uttarakhand, reports Hindustan Times on September 27. The hideout was revealed based on the interrogation of the last wanted Maoist leader of Uttarakhand, Bhaskar Pandey (36), by Police, officials said. Pandey, who was wanted with a bounty of INR 20,000 in a case registered during the 2017 State assembly elections, was arrested in Almora on September 13 in a joint operation by the special task force (STF) of Uttarakhand Police and the Almora District Police. “Police found the hideout on Sunday [September 19] from a cave located inside deep and dense forests of Buda Jageshwar area after Pandey revealed its location during his interrogation while in police remand. He used to often use the hideout to stay away from police,” said Pankaj Bhatt, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Almora. Bhatt informed, “After tracing the hideout, police found several items from there including some Maoist publicity material, survival kit, tents, sleeping bag and other items of daily need.” Bhatt said that Pandey was taken in Police remand for two days on Friday [September 17] for interrogation. “On Sunday, he revealed his hideout in Hariya top forests in Buda Jageshwar area.” Earlier, when Pandey was arrested, Police claimed that he was in touch with the members of the Politburo of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to revive the Maoist movement in the Himalayan State. Pandey, who was in hiding since 2017 after being booked in three cases for trying to provoke the public against the Government by putting anti-Government posters and set ablaze one Government vehicle in an attempt to disrupt the 2017 State assembly polls, was arrested near Haridutt Pethshali Inter-college in Almora District on September 13. After his arrest, the Police recovered two pen drives, two voter IDs, a mobile phone, an Aadhaar card, two books and INR 32,265. State Director General of Police (DGP), Ashok Kumar, also claimed that Pandey had taken arms training in the jungles of north Bihar in 2012. “He was the right hand of senior Maoist leader Khin Singh Bora who was the Uttarakhand area commander for CPI(M) [CPI-Maoist] who is presently in jail after being arrested in Uttar Pradesh police STF. After his arrest, Pandey was in hiding and visited the state occasionally but was not completely off,” said Kumar, adding that he was also active during the recent farmers’ agitation. “However, he was not found trying to influence the farmers in the Maoist movement,” he added.

Asserting that Left Wing Extremists (LWE) are now confined to only two Districts in Andhra Pradesh, State Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharitha on September 26 urged the Centre to support the development of backward and tribal areas, reports The New Indian Express. The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), whose numbers have now diminished to 50, are confined to Visakhapatnam and East Godavari she said, adding that the ultras were earlier active in five Districts. She was speaking at a high-level meeting of Chief Ministers from Maoist-affected States at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. The development of Andhra Pradesh has resulted in checking the Maoist menace. Referring to the reforms brought in by present State Government, Sucharitha said the setting up of Village Secretariats ensured that welfare activities reached the remote tribal areas. Attributing backwardness as a reason aiding Maoists, Sucharitha asserted that developing education and health sectors, and improving basic infrastructure facilities could curb the menace. She said the State Government has been extending health and medical facilities to the downtrodden through Mana Badi Nadu-Nedu, Amma Vodi and also by operating health centres at Village Secretariats. She urged the Centre to further improve 4G and road connectivity to remote tribal areas. She also sought the Centre’s clearance to take up road works in agency areas. “The number of Ekalavya schools should also be increased,” she said.

The geographical influence of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has contracted to only 41 Districts in the country, a sharp reduction from 96 such Districts in 10 States in 2010, according to data provided by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to Chief Ministers and other officials at a meeting held on September 26, reports The Hindu. “These miscreants have been pushed to a few pockets with only 25 districts accounting for 85% of the LWE violence in the country,” the Ministry said in a statement. Union Home Minister (UHM) Amit Shah chaired the meeting to review the security and other developmental aspects in the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected States at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on September 26. Home Minister Amit Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken a decision to bring down the fixed expenditure of States on deployment of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and the expenditure by States has reduced by about INR 29 billion in 2019-20 as compared to the 2018-19. Shah also said in the past two years, a successful effort has been made to increase the security camps in areas where security was not stringent, especially in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha. Shah said those who want to give up arms and join mainstream are heartily welcome, but those who take up arms and hurt innocent people and the Police, will be given the same response. “The root cause of dissatisfaction is that development has not reached there in last six decades since Independence and now to deal with it, it is very essential to ensure accessibility to fast-paced development so that common and innocent people do not join them,” he said. According to the Ministry, there has been a gradual decline in the number of LWE incidents in the last decade. The incidents have reduced from 2,258 in 2009 to 349 incidents till August 31 this year. The number of deaths reduced from 908 to 110 during the same period. The UHMA first created the LWE desk, a separate department to address the Maoist issue in 2006. “Few new areas have been identified as potential locations for emergence of this phenomenon. To arrest the expansion plan of the CPI (Maoist) and also to restrict them to bounce back in the areas recently taken away from LWE influence, 8 districts have been categorized as ‘District of Concern’. The revised categorisation is a more realistic representation of current LWE scenario,” the Ministry stated.

An unnamed Police official said, "The department would focus more on the strengthening of intelligence system, courier system, exchange of information and joint operations." According to Police estimation, not more than 100 Maoists including both lower and higher cadre members are working in Telangana. Already more than 150 Maoists have surrendered to Police recently.

Orang was associated with Students' Federation of India (SFI) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) from 1989 to 1999. He joined the CPI-Maoist in 2006. He, along with two other Maoists from Assam, were earlier arrested in Odisha’s Rourkela in 2011 but subsequently released.

"The constitutional committee was set up nearly two years back and the process of drafting the Constitution needs to begin.

Over 70% Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres are forcibly recruited as children without the consent of their parents. They are mostly roped in at 15 and given a gun at 17, says a ‘survey’ conducted by Bastar Police among surrendered Maoists, reports The Times of India on September 29. The ‘recruited’ kids are not allowed to go home for years, some never, not even if any of their parents dies, say Police. What’s more, a shocking 25% of them end up getting forcibly sterilised in youth, says the survey. Asked for her comment on the Police findings, Bastar rights activist Bela Bhatia said: “Children should not be used as soldiers. I would welcome similar surveys by independent agencies.” The perception was that Maoists put kids only in the ‘Bal Sangham’ and don’t give them weapons till they are 18, but the surrendered Maoists, including some senior cadres, have revealed that this is far from true, say Police. “Most of us didn’t join the Maoists of our own will. We were forced,” the Maoists told Police. The survey was conducted among 41 Maoists who had surrendered in Dantewada between 2013 and 2021, and had bounties of INR 500,000 or higher. Police officers interviewed them for over a month and got them to fill up a 10-point questionnaire before they came up with this data. “At the age of 17 when they should be studying, they were given guns and told to carry out attacks. By the age of 20, they were handling automatic weapons,” the report says. Dantewada Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallava said: “The survey results will be used to spread awareness among the locals in ‘recruitment hotspot’ villages of Dantewada district so that they don’t join the Maoists. Police will tell villagers that Maoists are not revolutionaries. There are people who were taken by Maoists as children and never returned, nor do their parents know about their fate or whereabouts. Villagers should know about the dark side of ‘holding weapons and becoming powerful’.” There are 12 Maoists ‘recruitment hotspots’ identified by Police — villages from where at least 10 cadres have joined People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), the armed wing of the CPI-Maoist. The surrendered cadres shared heart-breaking stories of the hardship and pain they underwent as children in an insurgent outfit. They were banned from visiting home or meeting parents for years. They weren’t allowed to go home even if a parent died, not to speak of visiting families for festivals. At least 25% said they never saw their parents after being taken away by Maoists, and 30% could meet their families once every five years. To add to this, they saw severe discrimination in the Maoists ranks between ‘Telugu cadres’ and Chhattisgarh tribals.

Pakistan is home to at least 12 groups designated as ‘foreign terrorist organisations’, including five of them being India-centric like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), according to a latest Congressional report on terrorism, reports Daily Excelsior on September 29. US officials have identified Pakistan as a base of operations or target for numerous armed and non-state militant groups, some of which have existed since the 1980s, the independent Congressional Research Service (CRS) said in the report. The report released by the bipartisan research wing of US Congress on the eve of the historic Quad summit in Washington on September 24, said that these groups operating in Pakistan can be broadly categorised into five types — globally-oriented, Afghanistan oriented, India- and Kashmir-oriented, domestically oriented, and Sectarian (anti-Shia). The LeT was formed in the late 1980s in Pakistan and designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) in 2001. “LeT was responsible for major 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, as well as numerous other high-profile attacks,” the CRS said. JeM was founded in 2000 by Kashmiri militant leader Masood Azhar and was designated as an FTO in 2001. Along with LeT, it was responsible for the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament, among other attacks, it said. Harakat-ul Jihad Islami (HUJI) was formed in 1980 in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet army and was designated as an FTO in 2010. After 1989, it redirected its efforts toward India, although it did supply fighters to the Afghan Taliban. “With an unknown strength, HuJI today operates in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, and seeks annexation of Kashmir into Pakistan,” the report said, adding that HuM was designated as an FTO in 1997 and operates mainly from Pak-occupied Kashmir and from some Pakistani cities. Finally, Hizb-ul Mujahideen (HM) was formed in 1989— reportedly as the militant wing of Pakistan’s largest Islamist political party—and designated as an FTO in 2017. It is one of the largest and oldest militant groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). Among other terrorist groups operating from Pakistan are Al Qaeda, CRS said, adding that it has operated primarily from the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and in the megacity of Karachi, as well as in Afghanistan. It has since 2011 been led by Ayman al-Zawahiri and reportedly maintains supportive ties with many of the groups inside the country. CRS said according to the US State Department’s Country Reports on Terrorism 2019, Pakistan has “continued to serve as a safe haven for certain regionally focused terrorist groups,” and has “allowed groups targeting Afghanistan … As well as groups targeting India …To operate from its territory”. The Department also noted “modest steps” taken by Pakistan’s Government to counter terrorism financing and to “restrain” some India-focused militant groups following an early 2019 terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. It assessed, however, that “Islamabad has yet to take decisive actions against India- and Afghanistan-focused militants,” and that “progress on the most difficult aspects of its 2015 National Action Plan to counter terrorism remains unfulfilled—specifically its pledge to dismantle all terrorist organisations without delay and discrimination”. On the topic of “terrorist safe havens,” the Department concluded that Pakistan’s government and military “acted inconsistently with respect to terrorist safe havens throughout the country. Authorities did not take sufficient action to stop certain terrorist groups and individuals from openly operating in the country”. Other terrorist groups inside Pakistan are Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), Islamic State-Khorasan Province (IS-KP or IS-K); the Afghan Taliban, the Haqqani network, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), Jundallah (aka Jaysh al-Adl), Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ).

The Pakistani militant who was captured by Army while infiltrating along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector in Baramulla District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), said that the Pakistan army helped them in infiltration and they were tasked to conduct a major strike in Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior on September 30. Ali Babar Parra (19), was captured during an operation launched by the Army along the LoC in Uri sector on September 28, while his colleague [Atiq ur Rehman alias Qari Anas (33)] was killed in the gun battle. Parra told interrogators that the Pakistan army was helping militants to infiltrate into J&K for violence and their personal benefits by spreading misinformation and brainwashing the youth. In a video that was released by the Army, he said: “Whatever we were told about Kashmir by LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] and ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] is wrong. When I was being taken in a vehicle, I saw hustle-bustle in the markets and people seemed happy, there seemed peace in the environment”. Parra said that Pakistan army, ISI and LeT are doing propaganda in the name of Kashmir that people here are being killed, that there is bloodshed going on in Kashmir, but the reality is opposite to that. “I went to work in a factory in Sialkot where I met Anas. He has been tasked to gather men for LeT and ISI. Keeping in view my condition, I went with him and he gave me Rs 20,000 and promised Rs 30,000 more. He handed me over to ISI, and ISI further handed me over to Pakistan army. Pakistan army trained me at Camp Khyber Deli Habibullah. We were taught how to operate AK-47. After training, details were sent to the LeT area commander who selected me”, he said, adding, “We were made to draw the map of Baramulla/ Pattan and then we were taken to Pakistan army’s Sher Camp where were given AK-47 rifles, grenades and other ammunition.” Parra also shared the details of the weapons training he underwent with the Pakistan Army and the ISI at Camp Khyber Deli Habibullah.

United Nations (UN) Secretary General António Guterres on September 29 documented allegations of reprisals in Sri Lanka, reports Daily Mirror. A report documenting the incidents was presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva by UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ilze Brands Kehris. On Sri Lanka, the report noted that the High Commissioner for Human Rights in her February 9 report to the UNHRC had said that “a pattern of intensified surveillance and harassment of civil society organizations, human rights defenders and victims appears to have intensified over the past year, including of those who supported the implementation of Human Rights Council resolution 30/1”. The High Commissioner raised concern that this environment “is creating a chilling effect on civic and democratic space and leading to self-censorship” and urged “the authorities to immediately end all forms of surveillance, including intimidating visits by state agents and harassment against human rights defenders, lawyers, journalists, social actors and victims of human rights violations and their families, and to refrain from imposing further restrictive legal measures on legitimate civil society activity.”

Sharing concerns over the formation of Taliban government in Afghanistan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said India was not made aware of the aspects of the deal signed by the US and the Taliban last year (2020) and it still isn’t clear whether Afghanistan will have an inclusive government or whether Afghan soil will not be used for terror, abplive.com reports on October 1. Jaishankar said even as India and the US are on the same page on many issues relating to the developments in Afghanistan there are aspects where the positions of the two countries are not exactly the same. These issues have given rise to justified concerns in India and other countries about the situation in Afghanistan, said the minister.

Union Minister for Heavy Industries Mahendra Nath Pandey, on September 30, has expressed concern over a "spurt" in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) activities and "loot" of mineral reserves in Jharkhand, reports NDTV. "Extremism and Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] have started spreading its tentacles in the state, and freedom is also being granted to loot mineral reserves," Minister Pandey said. Responding to a demand by Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) President Ashok Bhalotia to set up heavy industries in the State, Pandey said his Ministry is keen to develop Jamshedpur as an auto hub. The Central Government has been implementing various programmes to encourage industries under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme, the minister said, adding, it has a provision of about INR 570 billion for setting up auto and auto component units in the country. "All possible steps will be taken to revive heavy industries, including the Heavy Engineering Corporation Ltd, in the State," he added.
