India as a key regional player and ally of the US and its history of investments in Afghanistan could have a positive impact on the future of the country now under Taliban control, a US State Department spokesperson Zed Tarar said, Deccan Herald reports on September 11. “India as an elected member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has a role to play. We are in close consultations in New York, New Delhi and Washington with India on this issue,” he said. The US forces completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan ahead of the August 31 deadline, at the end of an “unprecedented airlift” to evacuate over 100,000 people by air from the Afghan capital Kabul. He also added, “I think what we have to be clear on is that the United States had an objective in Afghanistan and that was to eliminate Al Qaeda. We've completed that objective as of many years ago. We've also trained hundreds of thousands of Afghan forces over the last 20 years at a cost of over a trillion dollars. This was the time now to end the war in Afghanistan and remove US and allied forces from the country”.

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.

The outfit's ‘information and publicity secretary’, Lh Stephen said that the reported arrest of ‘self-styled C-in-C’ of the alleged KNF, a non-suspension of operation (non-SoO) group, by Delhi Police's Special Cell has no connection with KNF whatsoever. He said that KNF is the oldest Kuki militant outfit and is currently under tripartite talks with the Governments under the banner of United People's Front (UPF) while adding that it had signed an extension of SoO recently with the Governments. He clarified that ‘self-styled C-in-C’ Mangkholam Kigen alias David is not the ‘C-in-C’ of KNF as reported in some media. He also said that as per KNF's finding, Mangkholam is a ‘self-styled C-in-C’ of the KNF non-SoO group, which has nothing to do with the original KNF and it has no mandate of the people. Reportedly, the Delhi Police’s Special Cell arrested the ‘C-in-C’ of Manipur-based insurgent group Kuki National Front from Dwarka area in Delhi on September 20.

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”.

The Kerala unit of the Communist Party of India (Marxist)- CPI(M) is reportedly worried over the "radicalisation and communalism" advocated by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) in the state, India Today reports on September 26, 2021. The internal party documents of the CPI(M), distributed amongst the party cadre -- which reveal that the incumbent party is concerned due to the "growing pro-Taliban sentiment" in the state. The internal communication documents blame the JIH for fanning communal sentiments in the state. It claims the Jamaat is using its publications and social media to further its agenda in Kerala. "Jamaat-e-Islami, whose goal is to establish an Islamic state, is now trying to spread their ideas in the Muslim community as well in Kerala society. They are using not only their publications but also the social media platforms to spread their ideas," one document reads. "It is a matter of serious concern that discussion supporting the Taliban is happening in Kerala while it is being condemned by the believers of democracy across the world, including the Muslim community at large," the document reads.

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).
