NIA arrests two men for allegedly harbouring terrorists who carried out Pahalgam attack
The National Investigation Agency on Sunday said that it has arrested two men for allegedly harbouring the terrorists who carried out the attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22. The agency identified the two men as Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar from Pahalgam's Batkote area and Bashir Ahmad Jothar from the town's Hill Park area. It said that they disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists who carried out the attack, and claimed that they also confirmed 'that they were Pakistani nationals affiliated to the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba [LeT]'. The National Investigation Agency claimed that the two men had 'knowingly harboured the three armed terrorists at a seasonal dhok [hut] at Hill Park before the attack'. They had provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists, it alleged. Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar were arrested under Section 19 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, the agency said. The provision lays out the punishment for harbouring or concealing terrorists. The terror attack at Baisaran near the town of Pahalgam on April 22 left 26 persons dead and 16 injured. The terrorists targeted tourists after asking their names to ascertain their religion, the police said. All but three of those killed were Hindu. In retaliation, the Indian military on May 7 carried out strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what it claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Pakistan Army retaliated to Indian strikes by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. At least 22 Indian civilians and eight defence personnel were killed. On May 10, India and Pakistan reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following a four-day conflict.

Tripura govt gives jobs to kin of 18 people killed in political violence before 2018
The Tripura government has provided jobs to 18 people whose family members were killed in political violence in the state before 2018, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath said in Agartala on Saturday. The minister said 39 petitions were submitted to the scrutiny committee, and 18 people were offered jobs in various departments. Nath is the chairman of the scrutiny committee, which also comprises the law secretary, secretary of information and cultural affairs, an inspector general of police, and the additional secretary of the home department. 'Another meeting of the committee was held on June 19. We got eight more petitions, and five of the names were recommended. We are reviewing the remaining petitions,' the minister told reporters at the Civil Secretariat. 'We give due respect to democracy. We feel that supporting the family members of those who were killed in political violence is our moral duty. Our government has not shown any discrimination on the basis of political affiliations in this case,' he said. The BJP-led coalition government first came to power in the state in 2018, unseating the erstwhile CPI(M)-led Left Front government which had ruled the state for 25 consecutive years. Criticising the previous government, Nath said, 'Several political murders happened before 2018 during the earlier government's tenure. Murders and political violence are not healthy for democracy. If it happens, it is a failure and embarrassment for shame for the government'. He, however, could not give an exact figure of the political murders that purportedly occurred prior to 2018. 'Petitions received are of cases from different years like 1983, 1987, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1998,1981, 2015, 2016, 2017…,' he said. Nath added that those who wish to apply under the scheme should collect forms from the sub-divisional magistrates' offices. These applications will be assessed by the committee based on inputs shared by district magistrates and superintendents of police. 'If the names are approved by the committee, it will be forwarded to the Finance Department, and based on vacancies in different departments, they will be given jobs,' he added.
