A high alert has been sounded in the Bhadrachalam Agency area with the Police receiving intelligence inputs that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) may attack leaders of the ruling party and other prominent persons in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana, reports The New Indian Express on December 8. The alert has been given as the Maoists are in the midst of their week-long ‘People’s Liberation of Guerrilla Army (PLGA)’ celebrations on the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border which began on December 3. The PLGA is the armed wing of the CPI-Maoist. Police suspect the Maoists might target the ruling party leaders to prove their existence. An officer in the Intelligence department said that the Maoists were losing the support of tribals as the latter suffering heavily in the crossfire between the Police and the Maoists. As the Maoists are losing their stranglehold on tribals, they have realised that their time is up and are surrendering to the Police one after the other, the Intelligence officer claimed. As the ground-level cadre are leaving the party, their leaders are trying to put the party together and the only thing to do is to organise some violent incidents and tell the party cadres that they are a force to reckon with.

The Union Home Ministry (UHM) has asked security agencies to chalk out a plan for an all-out offensive against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the “liberated zone” in Chhattisgarh’s Abujhmad forests, spread over 3,900 square kilometres in south Chhattisgarh, that is now completely inaccessible to the Security Forces (SFs), reports The Telegraph on December 12. Ministry sources said the security agencies had at a recent meeting been asked to take the help of the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) to procure real-time images of Maoist strongholds inside the “liberated zone”. The NTRO helps operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). An unnamed Intelligence Bureau (IB) official said that UAVs would be used for reconnaissance, and will take real-time pictures of the liberated zone, to launch offensives against the Maoists and to keep an eye out for SFs conducting operations and area-domination exercises in rebel strongholds. According to an IB report, the rebels exercise complete control over the liberated zone and have built several camps where they provide arms training to recruits. “The Maoists have set up several training camps in Abujhmad. They hold regular meetings with their cadres in the presence of their top-rung leaders and plan attacks on security forces,” a UHM official said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) party was meting out injustice to the tribal people living in agency villages on Telangana-Chhattisgarh border areas in Bhadradri Kothagudem District, stated Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP), operations, T Sai Manohar, on December 13, reports Telangana Today. By obstructing the welfare schemes implemented by the Central and State Governments the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] were causing injustice to them. By means of vandalising and burning of vehicles and equipment needed for construction the naxals were hindering development. The Naxals do not want facilities like medical care, education, roads and others to reach the tribals. By killing innocent tribals branding them as ‘informers’ the Maoist party was making their families and children to become orphans, Sai Manohar said in a statement. Maoists have been using the innocent tribals for their unlawful activities in the name of ‘People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) Week’. For the past several years, Naxals harmed adivasis for their selfish purposes and kept them away from development, the Police officer added.

A new militant group, calling itself the 'Majlis-e-Askari' (Military Council), reportedly shared a brutal video of a beheading of a man purported to be a Pakistani 'spy' in Lakki Marwat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reports The Express Tribune on December 16. In the two-minute video clip shared on social media by the group, the militants can be seen beheading the man before leaving the corpse and fleeing the scene. The video was later allegedly shared by the militant group on social media which was then picked up and released by another little-known group, the 'Ittehadul Mujahideen'. However, the 'Ittehadul Mujahideen' joined the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in criticising the beheading and also condemning recent similar beheadings in the Districts of Bannu and Lakki Marwat. Local sources confirmed that the militant group is headed by the former TTP commander Akhtar Muhammad Khalil. It's pertinent to mention that Khalil parted ways with Hafiz Gul Bahadur in the early 2000s, and had previously remained a member of the TTP’s Shura, the sources added. The commander had served as the Gul Bahadur group’s North Waziristan Amir but later developed differences with the outfit, especially over his ruthlessness. Khalil had remained amongst the most brutal commanders and was known for beheading Army and Police officers from 2001 to 2009. He had later virtually disappeared from the scene, only to return again when the TTP leadership returned to merged Districts of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres who turned themselves in to the Government's Forces at the end of the war in May 2009 must appear in court by 2023, according to a Vavuniya High Court judgement on December 17, reports Tamil Guardian. After hearing the habeas corpus petition pertaining to five incidents of enforced disappearances, including Elilan, the LTTE's political leader for the Trincomalee area, the court rendered its decision. Elilan was given to the Sri Lankan military by members of his family after the war ended in 2009. The Sri Lankan Army testified during the preliminary hearing at Mullaitivu Magistrate's Court that they had a list of survivors but did not provide the list to the court. The Vavuniya High Court consequently agreed with the petitioner's claim that individuals who had surrendered were in the Army's care. As a result, they must either be brought before the court by March 2023 or the circumstances surrounding their forced disappearances must be disclosed.

Intelligence agencies have alerted the Tamil Nadu Police on the attempts allegedly being made by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to revive the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee (WGSZC) that they have been trying to strengthen over the years, reports The Hindu on December 19. Considering its location in the tri-junction forests of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, the Maoists considered the base as strategic to regain strongholds in the area and take forward their agenda. However, the movement weakened following the arrest of Rupesh alias Jogi who headed the WGSZC and his supporters at Karumathampatti near Coimbatore in 2015. According to Police sources, field level officers across the State were alerted that the Maoists had launched a massive recruitment programme targeting youth, particularly students. Dozens of youths, including students of a law college in the southern districts, were already inducted and subjected to a systematic indoctrination of the “Marxism, Maoism and Ambedkar ideology,” a senior Police officer said on December 18. The sources said front organisations that were directly supporting the Maoist ideology and other like-minded groups were planning to organise mass protests against the 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). While the alert gave specific input on the recruitment and training methodology, there was no mention of the involvement of leaders from other States, the sources said. In a report, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) while explaining the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) scenario in the country laid emphasis on better inter-State coordination since the area of operation of CPI-Maoist was not confined to a single State but was spread over several States. The Government of India had taken many steps to improve the inter-State interactions between the bordering districts of Maoist affected States.

Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Noor Wali Mehsud on December 18 attempted to rebuff the impression that they are getting any backing from the Afghan Taliban regime in Kabul, saying that his group was attacking Pakistan from “within its territory”, reports Dawn. “We are fighting Pakistan’s war from within the territory of Pakistan; using Pakistani soil. We have the ability to fight for many more decades with the weapons and spirit of liberation that exist on the soil of Pakistan,” he said in an interview with CNN. When asked if he was being secretive about help they were getting from the Taliban, he said, “When we don’t need any help from the Afghan Taliban, what is the point of hiding it?” However, the TTP chief warned the United Sates (US) of retaliation in case of any attack on the group’s leadership. “America should stop teasing us by interfering in our affairs unnecessarily at the instigation of Pakistan — this cruel decision shows the failure of American politics,” CNN quoted Mr Mehsud as saying. He made these remarks in response to a question on the possibility of the US targeting TTP commanders operating from inside Afghanistan like al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri who was killed in a drone strike in Kabul in September. He said that “he did not expect America to take such action” against his group. “If America takes such a step, America itself will be responsible for its loss,” he warned. He told CNN that the US was yet to understand Pakistan’s “duplicitous policy”. “Pakistan’s history is a witness that it keeps changing directions for its own interests,” he said in the interview.

He also added that owing to a strong Security Grid, militant infiltration from Pakistan declined in 2022 compared to previous years. “The anti-terror grid is doing a commendable job and we will crush all the conspiracies being hatched from across the border,” the police head stated. DGP further mentioned that several drug de-addiction centres are currently operational in Jammu, Srinagar, and at the zonal level, with another set to open in Jammu.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have allegedly issued a press statement threatening to kill Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Aheri, Dharmarao Baba Atram following certain local mining disputes, the Maharashtra Legislature was informed on December 19, reports Business Standard. Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar said that his party colleague and NCP MLA from Aheri, Baba Atram was given the threat and demanded immediate security cover for him. The threats came in the form of an announcement from the CPI-Maoist's Western Sub-Zonal Bureau to Atram, recently in the Maoist-infested Gadchiroli. The Maoist groups have raised strong objections to the expansion of the Surjagarh Steel Project for mining iron ore, awarded to a Mumbai-based company, despite purported opposition by the local tribals and farmers, and have demanded that the project be stopped. The Maoists claimed that tribals' opposition to the project was bulldozed by the government in 2013 and it came up by 2016, but though the company was allowed to mine around three tonnes of iron ore per year, the government has now raised it to 10 tonnes annually. The Maoists have said besides the tribals resentment, the project is also playing havoc with the environment as hundreds of hectares are being dug up for the iron ore, and now it will go up to 1,000 hectares, hitting at least 40 villages that depend on farming and foresting activities. Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the Government has taken serious note of it and directed that Atram will be accorded security immediately.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on December 19, filed a chargesheet against five people before the NIA Special Court in Vijayawada of Andhra Pradesh in a case related to the radicalisation and recruitment of youth to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, a proscribed organisation, reports The Indian Express. According to NIA, the case was initially registered by the Pedabayalu Police Station of Visakhapatnam and was later reregistered by NIA on June 3 this year. “The case was registered based on the complaint filed regarding the recruitment of one Radha to the cadres of CPI (Maoist). The allegation in the complaint indicated that the accused persons Dongari Devendra, Dubasi Swapna, and Chukka Shilpa motivated Radha to join the Chaitanya Mahila Sangham (CMS) and subsequently radicalised and recruited her to the proscribed organisation, CPI(Maoist), under the leadership of underground Maoists, R K (since deceased), Uday, and Aruna,” a spokesperson of NIA said. “Investigation has revealed that the accused persons; Dongari Devendra, Dubasi Swapna, and Chukka Shilpa had indeed attracted gullible young girls to CMS on the pretext of social work. Later, depending on their dedication to the organisation, such girls would be identified and sent to the proscribed organisation CPI (Maoist). The investigation has also revealed that the accused persons had recruited a few other girls to the CPI (Maoist) and had attempted to recruit many others,” the spokesperson added. “The investigation has also revealed that the accused Devendra had taken Radha to the forests under the pretext of rendering medical assistance to someone and that Uday and Aruna coerced the missing girl Radha to join the proscribed organisation. The role of the CMS, an organisation, and other leaders of CMS, in the larger conspiracy, is being probed into. Further investigations in the case are in progress,” the spokesperson said.

Amid the rising terror incidents in Pakistan after the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended ceasefire, the United States (US) on December 19 offered to help the country in dealing with the threats posed by the militant outfits, reports Geo TV. During a press briefing, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price was asked to comment on terrorism and the hostage situation at a counterterrorism centre in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu city. “Well, first on the ongoing situation in Pakistan, we are of course aware. We’ve been closely following reports that militants have seized control of the counterterrorism centre in Bannu. We offer our deepest sympathies to those injured,” Ned Price said and urged those responsible for the attack to cease all acts of violence, to safely release those who remain hostage, and to end the seizure of the counterterrorism centre. The spokesperson said that Islamabad is a partner when it comes to these shared challenges, including the challenge of terrorist groups — terrorist groups inside of Afghanistan, and terrorist groups along the Afghan-Pakistan border. “We have partnered with our Pakistani friends to take on — to help them take on this challenge. We stand ready to assist, whether with this unfolding situation or more broadly. But this is a situation for which we’d have to refer you to Pakistani authorities.”

The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) intends to increase terror funding via narcotics and launch a major misinformation campaign against Indian Government, News18 reports on December 21. Narco funding is one of the biggest routes through which the ISI wants to re-establish its roots in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and is sending in drug consignments through infiltrating terrorists or drug dealers sitting on both sides of the border, the intelligence sources reported. ISI wants to turn local youths into addicts in order to expand its business and make youths available to terror groups on short notice, it further said. ISI is also working with Khalistani terrorists and has created a nexus of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terrorists in Pakistan and overground workers (OGWs) in India, they added. As per sources, the HM groups are given the task of handling the distribution of narcotics for sale to their partners in the Kashmir Valley, which later cross state boundaries into Punjab for the illegal sale of the narcotics. These groups are called the Kashmir Khalistani desk at ISI, who suspectedly engage in financial transactions through hawala (illegal money transaction) channels also.

On December 27, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) Volker Turk asked Taliban regime to revoke immediately a raft of policies that target the rights of women and girls, reports Hasht-e Subh. He stated, “The ban will significantly impair, if not destroy, the capacity of these NGOs to deliver the essential services on which so many vulnerable Afghans depend. It is all the more distressing with Afghanistan in the grip of winter, when we know humanitarian needs are at their greatest and the work these NGOs do is all the more critical.” He added, “Women and girls cannot be denied their inherent rights. Attempts by the de facto authorities to relegate them to silence and invisibility will not succeed – it will merely harm all Afghans, compound their suffering, and impede the country’s development. Such policies cannot be justified in any way.”
