If Pakistan changes its current "culture of hatred" against religions in India and stops its support to cross-border terrorism, a genuine culture of peace in South Asia and beyond could be attempted, India has told the United Nations (UN) on December 2, reports telegraphindia.com. Addressing the UN General Assembly session on 'Culture of Peace', First Secretary in India's Permanent Mission to the UN Ashish Sharma said that in today's world, intolerance, hatred, violence and terrorism have almost become the norm. "There can be no doubt that terrorism, which is a manifestation of intolerance and violence, is the antithesis of all religions and cultures…If Pakistan changes its current culture of hatred against religions in India and stops its support of cross-border terrorism against our people, we can attempt a genuine culture of peace in South Asia and beyond," Sharma said.

The chargesheet relates to a case pertaining to an alleged organised conspiracy by the 16 accused to launch a concerted secessionist campaign under the banner of 'Referendum 2020' for the creation of ‘Khalistan’. The charge-sheeted accused are – Gurpatwant Singh Pannun (resident of New York, USA), Avtar Singh Pannun (New York, USA), Gurpreet Singh Baagi (UK) Harpreet Singh alias Rana Singh (New York, USA), Paramjit Singh alias Pamma (UK), Sarabjit Singh Bannur (UK), Amardeep Singh Purewal (California, USA), J S Dhaliwal (Canada), Kulwant Singh Mothada (UK) Dupinderjit Singh (UK), Hardeep Singh Nijjar (Canada), Kulwant Singh alias Kanta (UK), Harjaap Singh alias Japhi Singh (California, USA), Sarabjit Singh aliasSabi Singh (California, USA), Jatinder Singh Grewal, (Canada) and S Himmat Singh (New York, USA).

Under this campaign, numerous social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, YouTube Channels and a number of websites have been launched, which are being used to propagate sedition as well as enmity on the grounds of region and religion, to radicalise impressionable youth, to cause disturbance to peace and harmony and to raise funds for terrorist activities.”

The Special Task Force (STF) of Calcutta Police arrested a suspected operative of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), identified as Najibullah (50) from his home at Kashimnagar in Birbhum District on December 11, reports The Telegraph. “Najibullah had a Facebook account in the name of Saqib Ali and used to spread radical ideas and hatred against non-Muslims,” said a senior STF officer. “He used to inspire youths to take the path of fundamentalism.” Saqib, it now appears, is the name of one of Najibullah’s four sons.

India and Uzbekistan on December 11, called for settling the conflict in Afghanistan through an Afghan-controlled process even as they committed themselves to fighting terror by destroying terrorist safe havens, infrastructure and funding channels, reports Hindustan Times. The peace process in Afghanistan must preserve the achievements of the past two decades, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while participating in a virtual summit with Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. “We agree that the restoration of peace in Afghanistan requires a process that is led, owned and controlled by Afghanistan itself,” Modi said. India and Uzbekistan have “similar concerns about extremism, fundamentalism and separatism” and both sides stand together against terrorism, he added in his opening remarks. A joint statement issued after the summit said the two leaders believe peace and stability in Afghanistan is of “great importance to the security and stability of the entire region”. The two sides called for settling the Afghan conflict through an “Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan-controlled peace process”, and expressed unanimous support for a “united, sovereign and democratic” Afghanistan. Modi and Mirziyoyev strongly condemned all forms of terror and “reaffirmed the determination of their countries to combat this menace by destroying terrorist safe-havens, networks, infrastructure and funding channels”, the joint statement said.
