Following recommendations by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the Union Government instructed service providers on May 1 to ban 14 applications in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), which have been used by terrorist organizations in the region, reports Daily Excelsior. These apps were used by militants in Kashmir to communicate with their supporters and Over Ground Workers (OGW). “Agencies keep track of channels used by OGWs and militants to communicate among themselves. While tracking down one of the communication, agencies found that the mobile application does not have representatives in India and it is difficult to track down activities happening on the app,” said an official. The banned apps include Crypviser, Enigma, Safeswiss, Wickrme, Mediafire, Briar, BChat, Nandbox, Conion, IMO, Element, Second line, Zangi, and Threema.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders are resorting to acts of violence in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana, said Bhadrachalam, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Paritosh Pankaj, on May 2, reports Telangana Today.

The Naxals [Left Wing extremists, LWEs] have become obstacles to development. The top leaders of the Maoist party were compelling their lower-level cadres to commit illegal activities with the aim of extorting money and troubling innocent tribals in many ways for their selfish interests. Minor boys and girls were being tortured by the Naxals forcing them to join the Maoist party. The ASP noted that many cadres attracted by the ‘Operation Chayutha’ are planning to surrender, but they were being prevented doing so by Maoist top leadership.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders, who claim to be fighting for ‘Jal, Jungle and Jameen’ (water, forest and land), were exploiting lower rank cadres to live a lavish life, stated Superintendent of Police (SP), Vineeth G, in Bhadradri Kothagudem on May 11, reports Telangana Today. In a statement the official said that Maoist top leadership for the wellbeing of their family members have been making the lower ranks scapegoats.

For the selfish needs of Maoists, the lives of Adivasi boys and girls were being spoiled as they were deprived of education. Maoists like Sodi Jogaiah, Rajesh, Sodi Mada and others, killed in encounters, were made to join the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] when they were minor in age and the party top leadership should take responsibility for their deaths, the SP said. Maoist leaders Damodar, Azad, Aruna and others sending ill-gotten money to their family members but meting out injustice to Adivasi families, which were compelled to sacrifice their children for Maoist leaders, SP, Vineeth noted.

Dinesh Gope aka Kuldeep Yadav aka Badku, the ‘supremo’ of the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), was arrested from Nepal in a joint operation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Jharkhand Police and was brought to Delhi on May 21, reports The New Indian Express. “Yes, he has been arrested from Nepal and he is being brought to Delhi where he will be produced before a competent court for further course of action,” confirmed a Police official. Gope is to be produced in Delhi. Jharkhand Police had announced a bounty of INR 2.5 million on his head. Notably, Jharkhand Police had more than half a dozen encounters with the squad of Gope last year. Gope escaped every time. Besides murder and ‘levy’ (extortion money) collection, he is also accused of terror funding. According to Police sources, more than 150 cases were lodged against him at different Police Stations in Jharkhand. Significantly, immediately after demonetisation, Dinesh Gope had tried to deposit INR 2.538 million of cash collected through ‘levy’ at the Bedo Branch of State Bank of India (SBI) Ranchi through a petrol station operator. Four persons including the operator were arrested on November 10, 2016, in connection with this. The NIA took over the case on January 19, 2018. The premises of Gope’s associate Sumant Kumar was raided where INR 9 million in cash and investment-related documents were recovered. NIA has already arrested Gope’s two wives -- Heera Devi and Shakuntala Kumari -- in 2020 in a terror funding case.

The Inspector general of Police (IGP), Intelligence, Anurag, said that the idea of the 'Vishesh Sahyog Dasta' is to connect the tribals living in Maoist-hit areas to the mainstream of development. The new system will also be utilised for implementing community policing, and the youths will be encouraged to join police and security services. As many as 150 youths are being recruited under the programme, said the IGP, adding that the first qualification of the recruitment is that the applicant should be domicile of the district concerned. “In all 150 members for the three squads have been selected- 30 for Mandla squad, 40 for Dindori 40 and 80 for Balaghat district. Their appointment terms and conditions are different, they are recruited on contractual basis,” said the officer. Soon after the appointment, their training will begin, said the IGP.

According to the Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) report, the number of terrorist attacks in Pakistan has seen a phenomenal surge of 73pc during the first 21 months since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, compared to the corresponding period before their takeover, reports Dawn. Overall, incidents of terrorist violence have significantly increased inside Pakistan since August 15, 2021 when the Taliban took control of Kabul. The number of people killed in the attacks in Pakistan from August 2021 to April 2023 (21 months) has also increased by 138pc. These are some of the key findings of the policy-oriented report titled ‘Pakistan’s Afghan Perspective and Policy Options’, launched by PIPS at Islamabad. The report, which comprises significant recommendations for policymakers, is the final outcome of extensive monitoring, research and analyses, and eight expert consultations the think tank has conducted since July 2021. The report also says that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan have witnessed a marked impact of the Afghan situation in terms of terrorist violence, where the number of attacks during these 21 months surged by 92pc and 81pc, respectively. However, the number of terrorist attacks in Punjab, Sindh and Islamabad Capital Territory has posted a relative decline since the Taliban takeover as compared to corresponding 21 months pre-August 2021. The report warns that these emerging trends of terrorism will only add to Pakistan’s persistent security challenge in terms of Taliban militancy in KP and the erstwhile tribal areas, Baloch nationalist insurgency in Balochistan, ethno-nationalist violence in Sindh, as well as growing religious extremism and radicalism. “Protracted over a longer period of time, such an environment of insecurity, militancy, and violence can pose serious threats to political and economic stability as well,” it states.

Bangladesh Support Group (BSG), a Bangladeshi diaspora organization with Special Consultative Status of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations (UN) along with Aamra Ekattor, Projonmo '71, European Bangladesh Forum (EBF), and Seraji Foundation, have reiterated their demand for the international recognition of the 1971 genocide committed against the Bengali nation during the Bangladesh War of Independence, reports Dhaka Tribune on June 1. They further said that numerous historical documents, including newspapers, magazines, publications, and diplomatic correspondences, bear witness to the atrocities committed during the 1971 genocide. International media outlets such as The Telegraph, The Times, The Sunday Times, The New York Times, TASS, and AFP reported on the Bengali massacre by the Pakistan Army, with The Sunday Times being the first to boldly declare it a genocide. US Diplomat Archer Blood's telegrams condemned his government's apathy towards the mass atrocities and lack of intervention, accusing them of appeasing the West Pakistani-dominated government. Academic research, as well as organizations dedicated to genocide prevention and accountability, have recognized the 1971 genocide. The recent statement from the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) has called for action by world bodies.
