Former Prime Minister (PM) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on February 1 said that he was not responsible for the resurgence of terrorism in the country, reports The Express Tribune. "I am not part of the government... how can I be blamed for it (rise in terrorism)," he said while addressing his supporters from his Zaman Park resident in Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab. Imran also spoke at length about the causes of the deteriorating security situation in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and pointed out that he had categorically told the former Army Chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa that the economic and security situation would go out of hand if he allowed to succeed the ‘regime change operation’. Earlier the day, on February 1, PM Shehbaz Sharif on raised serious concern over the resurfacing of terrorism in KP, accusing the PTI of failing to maintain security despite availability of special funds, reports The Express Tribune. In his remarks at a meeting of the Federal Cabinet, the PM said that PTI had been ruling the province for the last 10 years and was responsible to ensure the safety of the lives of innocent people that suffered a new spate of terrorist incidents. The PM said that PKR 417 billion were provided to the KP Government since 2010 under the National Finance Commission Award, and that the funding was supposed to be used for capacity-building of KP Police and Security Forces. He said that the money was the province's right, but questioned where the amount was spent. “Where was this money spent despite the establishment of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) and Counter Terrorism Department (CTD)?” he questioned. He said that the nation wanted the KP Government to be held accountable for the return of terrorism in the province. “Who regarded the terrorist as ‘jihadi’ and let them return?” he asked, in an apparent remarked aimed at PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

Three wanted terrorists from Kerala are still at large even after years of issuance of Red Corner Notices (RCN) against them by the Interpol, The Indian Express reports on February 8. The terrorists are Chanamparambil Mohammed Bashir from Kayyur in Kasaragod District in Kerala and one of his co-accused Taher Ansari who is a resident of Hyderabad, Telangana as well as Kochupeedikayil Sabir from Kannur District in Kerala. Once a RCN is issued by Interpol, the details of the criminals at large are shared with the immigration officers in airports across the world, making it impossible for one to travel from one country to the other. According to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sources, an Interpol division of the investigating agency based in Delhi follows up the red corner notices issued from India. While many of these red corner alerts were issued several years ago, some even decades ago, the international police agencies are yet to areest the accused.

Speaking about the ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI), Union Home Minister (UHM), Amit Shah on February 14 stated, “We have banned PFI successfully...

He further stated, “When we decided to ban it, PFI had started stretching its activities to the other parts of the country and had spread itself to a certain extent. The agencies received information that it would not be good to delay the ban or give the benefit of the doubt. So, we decided on it and put a strict ban on PFI. There has been no reaction in society from either side.” The government had in September 2022, banned PFI and its associates for five years under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for "terror links".

Asking PFI members to openly embrace terrorism, it further claims “We have seen many PFI supporters join the banner of Tawheed (Islamic concept of monotheism) in different parts of the world and many have attained Shahadah. So don’t be discouraged.” The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) in 2022 stated that some PFI members had joined the Islamic State (IS) and taken part in terror activities in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

According to a new report released on February 14 from United Sates (US) think tank, US Institute of Peace (USIP), the Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers are unlikely to discontinue supporting militants in Pakistan as they feel that economic troubles prevent Islamabad from launching a major operation against the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), reports Dawn. “Amid Pakistan’s economic crisis and the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan, the Pakistani Taliban have re-emerged as an increasingly potent threat,” warned the USIP report. Referring to Kabul’s recent criticism of Islamabad’s policies, the report argued that “this undiplomatic rhetoric underscores the Taliban’s determination to continue supporting the TTP, even in the face of intensified pressure from Pakistan”. USIP argued that the Taliban’s response to being confronted about their support for the TTP “has been to level counter-accusations — which does not signal an impending shift away from that support”. USIP report fears Pakistan’s deteriorating economy will limit its ability to act against terrorists.

Afghanistan remains the primary source of terrorist threat for Central and South Asia, with groups such as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant-Khorasan (ISKP), Al-Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) enjoying greater freedom of movement in the country owing to the absence of an effective Taliban security strategy, the 31st report of the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team (ISKP, Al-Qaida), was issued on February 14, reports The Hindu. “It originates from groups including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant-Khorasan (ISKP), Al-Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, as well as ETIM/TIP (Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement/Turkistan Islamic Party), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Islamic Jihad Group, Khatiba Imam al-Bukhari, Khatiba al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, Jamaat Ansarullah and others.
