A central government order banning the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has been upheld by the Madras (Tamil Nadu) High Court, which said there was every justification for the May 14, 2010 proscription and a subsequent tribunal order upholding it, The Times of India reports on July 2. A division bench comprising of Justice Elipe Dharma Rao and Justice M Venugopal, dismissing the petitions filed by Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko, Tamilar Desiya Iyakkam's Pazha Nedumaran and Prisoners Rights Forum director and advocate P Pugalenthi, said: "Though the object for which the LTTE had been floated was highly laudable, with the passage of time, it has taken ugly path, leading to many heinous crimes in our land also. Voluminous materials containing highly sensitive information have been produced before us by the Centre to show the involvement of the organization in various crimes in India, including the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, wherein the top brass of the LTTE were the accused. All these materials were available with the government while issuing the notification."

Dawood Ibrahim apparently wants his crime-generated capital to fund his corporate projects in India and he is sending his two youngest brothers, Mustakeen and Humayun to Mumbai to take charge, Police sources say, The Telegraph reported on November 3. “We know from intercepts that he is sending Mustakeen and Humayun to take care of his legal businesses in India. The duo are ‘clean’ in the sense they do not have any charges against them, and are therefore ideal to take control of his real-estate business in Mumbai, Bangalore and the National Capital Region, in which Dawood has been steadily investing for the past few years,” a senior Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) official said.“It is also a smart way to get back former D-Company loyalists who have over the years given up on hardcore crime but still swear by Dawood and Shakeel. Mustakeen and Humayun will need these trusted men to run the over-ground businesses,” said Himangshu Roy, Joint Commissioner of Police (crime), Mumbai.

Tapping his conversations with Riyaz, who directs IM in coordination with ISI, Yasin has spoken of "a Pakistani political leader's men working in Afghanistan for the Taliban".Speaking about an association with al Qaeda, Riyaz claimed he had met a Myanmarese national, an old- timer, who had been with Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden.

Director General (DG) of J&K Police Ashok Prasad on November 3 said that not more than 200 militants are active in the state, reports Deccan Herald. Prasad was quoted by a local news agency as saying, “Police have the figures which indicate that 180 militants are operating in valley besides 20 in other parts of the state. The total number of militants present in the state is 200”. However, he said that there could be the variation in the numbers between various security agencies operating in the state. “Holding gun alone does not qualify to be a militant. There are so many Over Ground Workers (OGW), many work here without the gun, some are militant informers,” he said and added there are several definitions of the word militant, therefore the numbers could vary.The Centre has recently ordered a fresh assessment of number of militants and militant groups presently active in Jammu and Kashmir after contradictory figures were given by Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Sources told that MoD has informed the Centre that above 300 militants are operating in J&K state. “These figures are at variance with the assessment of the MHA which has put the figures at a lower scale. MHA put the figures at around 200,” they said.

On November 3, the rebel groups signed an 11-point draft framework agreement during a four-day Laiza peace conference in Kachin State to declare a countrywide ceasefire, calling for a political talks with the Government and discussed establishing a federal union system in Myanmar. But the NSCN-K, on November 5 said it would never be part of such peace deal, which would sell out Nagas’ right to sovereignty. “We will never be part of the group as we are for sovereignty,” said a senior kilonser (minister) of the outfit, Wangtin Naga. He said other ethnic rebel groups were now seeking solution within the ambit of the constitution of Myanmar, which could never be accepted by the NSCN-K. The outfit was not seeking a solution within a federal system but full sovereignty for the Nagas of Myanmar and India, he added. The Naga outfit had signed a ceasefire with Myanmar on April 9, 2012, but talks have not been started.

Patna blasts are suspected to have been guided by IM operative Riyaz Bhatkal from Pakistan. Surveillance of blast mastermind Tehsin Akhtar's internet activity shows that he has been in touch with Riyaz for hours everyday in the run up to the blasts. "On many occasions his internet activity, involving communication with Riyaz, has been seen to be seven-eight hours in a day. It shows Riyaz may be closely engaged with the planning of the attacks. However, only further investigation will reveal who played what role in the blasts," said an intelligence officer.The conversations have been made in code language and messages encrypted. Many chats have been routed through proxy servers abroad. Tracing such chats or mails takes a lot of time as real server that shows the location of the participants in a chat is not known.

as intelligence inputs point to "assiduous preparations" by the CPI-Maoist to disrupt the November 11 poll in Chhattisgarh, the Election Commission (EC) has agreed to relocate around 150 polling booths in the Naxal-infested interiors of south Bastar to "safer" places along the arterial roads, reports The Times of India. Though the Union home ministry and Chhattisgarh government had identified 299 booths as "hyper-sensitive" and requested the EC to shift them out as polling parties and paramilitary forces would risk landmine attacks while accessing these booths, the Commission ensured that only as many booths were relocated as agreed among the candidates of all parties. "After the deliberations, there is consensus in favour of relocation of around 150 polling stations. These may now be shifted to places closer to the roads, or even safer locations within the villages, such as the panchayat office," an EC official told The Times of India.Intelligence agencies have lately reported large-scale mobilization of Maoist cadres in Naxal-dominated areas of Chhattisgarh, assembling and planting of IEDs on routes to polling booths and formation of small "crack" teams to locate suitable ambush points to target polling parties and security forces. This has led the Union Home Ministry to seek stepped up counter-Naxal operations not only in Chhattisgarh but also adjoining areas of Maharashtra, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Other measures advised are aggressive intelligence-gathering, proper road-opening, assessing possible ambush points and dismantling of IEDs possibly planted there. The nodal officer appointed by the Chhattisgarh Government after the Darbha Ghati massacre to coordinate security for political events has also been asked to coordinate the arrangements for VIP movement and rallies.

Both the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Central intelligence outfits have stumbled upon crucial information during the course of investigating Patna serial blasts revealing that Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, have embarked on a major plan to revive the terror outfit in India as it had suffered serious reverses following the arrest of its India chief Yasin Bhatkal, Asian Age reported on November 5.Information gathered during Patna serial blasts also confirms that Jamaat-ud-Dawa ‘chief’ and India’s most wanted terrorist, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, was virtually playing the role of a “mentor” to the Bhatkal brothers helping them revive IM’s activities. NIA sources said the Patna explosions were part of Saeed’s same gameplan. “It would not be wrong to say that Saeed was responsible for funding the Patna serial blasts as the financial trial leads to some Jamaat operatives working out of some Gulf countries,’’ a top intelligence official confirmed.

The Shillong Times reports that Garo Hills Police suffered one of its biggest casualties in its fight against militancy with five State security personnel killed in an ambush laid by a heavily armed group of Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants in remote South Garo Hills Districts in the morning of October 5. Armed GNLA militants believed to number over two dozen ambushed a Police gypsy with five occupants that was proceeding from Baghmara to Tura in West Garo Hills. Police informed that the militants lobbed two grenades from atop a small hillock onto the vehicle when one of the grenades reportedly exploded, damaging the vehicle and bringing it to a halt while militants perched on higher ground opened up in a hail of fire on the five occupants of the vehicle. The militants took away three AK rifles and a carbine machine gun from the slain Police personnel along with a sizeable number of ammunition. Three of the deceased belonged to 3rd MLP Battalion and have been identified as Havildar Dondiram Marak, Constables Bipul Rabha and Marshanstar Nongdhar. Another of the deceased, identified as Constable Rakki Ch Sangma belonged to South Garo Hills District Executive Force (DEF) while the driver of the vehicle who was also killed in the ambush was Driver Lekichyne Ryngklem of the Fire and Emergency Services wing.The attack comes a week after the GNLA militant ‘chief’ Sohan D Shira had threatened retaliation in a big way for the Police raid on his private residence at Chachatgre village, 3 kilometres from Williamnagar town, on October 27. That operation yielded INR 334,000 Indian currency, 63,000 Bangladeshi taka along with a powerful satellite phone together with IED bombs, claymore mine boxes and more than three dozen explosive detonators.

The NIA's explosive conclusion was recently revealed to Parliament's Standing Committee on Finance by the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), the Intelligence Bureau (IB), and the Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). The security features imitated to print fake notes can be duplicated by highly sophisticated machines that only the Pakistan government owns, the committee was told. Most of the pivotal parameters of the paper like GSM (paper density measured in grammes per square metre), Wax Pick Quotient, and Poly Vinyl Alcohol and PH Values were found matching with the legal tender of Pakistan.The parliamentary panel was informed that the volume of FICN smuggled into India in 2010 was between INR 1,500 and INR 17 billion, which went up to INR 25 billion in 2012 - a rise of 55 per cent. This year, FICN worth INR 12 billion has already infected the Indian economy till July.

Mirwaiz said mainstream politicians always resort to double speak on the J&K issue. The Hurriyat Chairman said that New Delhi and Islamabad should hold serious negotiations on suggestions put forth by Hurriyat Conference and the conglomerate would extend its full cooperation for such a process. He said Hurriyat Conference can exist as a bridge between India and Pakistan in a bid to fully restore the relations between the two countries.

Kolkata Police arrested four persons for their alleged involvement in running a fake foreign currency exchange racket, The Times of India reports November 7. The accused identified as Kalam Sheikh, Himmayat Sheikh, Haidar Molla and Issar Rehman are Bangladeshi nationals. Surprisingly, genuine passports were found on them. "The accused used to offer lucrative exchange rates. They scanned neighbourhoods in Salt Lake and prepare a list of victims. They used to meet victims at PNB crossing and hand over fake currencies hid among genuine notes," said an officer.Interrogation of the accused point fingers at one Iqbal Kana from Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh), a history sheeter who has fled to Pakistan. Police are now investigating if the accused have any links with Mohammad Ali, who was arrested by the Special Task Force (STF). Ali allegedly carried funds to Ranchi for the Indian Mujahideen (IM).According to central agencies, Murshidabad, Malda, Nadia and North 24-Parganas are the four worst-hit Districts as far as dealings in fake currencies is concerned. National Investigation Agency (NIA) sources said Bangladesh-based units circulate more than 70 per cent of fake notes, taking advantage of the country's porous border with Bengal. "The number of infiltrators has jumped significantly. We believe that though Abdul Karim Tunda is behind bars, his close aides are operating at the local level, making identification difficult," said a Police officer.

The fact that Special Task Force (STF) has seized more than INR 150 million Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) since its inception indicates Kolkata is a crucial stopover in the terror map, The Times of India reports on November 7. Kolkata is hemmed by four Districts - Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24-Parganas that have a common border with Bangladesh. Police have identified at least eight vulnerable points, particularly in North and South 24-Parganas, which give easy access to the city without using the main entry points like Howrah bridge, Vidyasagar Setu and Howrah and Sealdah station that are under watch. Terrorists use Achipur, Budge Budge, Batanagar and Garden Reach as alternative routes to bypass Police."There have been instances when arms and explosives were smuggled in and used in subversive activities. Unless we can stop this we cannot control terrorism. Our commandant and the North 24-Parganas SP will have regular meetings and we will follow up on the arrests made by us. We met the DGP and he has assured all assistance," said ADG-BSF (South Bengal) B.D. Sharma."Indian Mujahideen and some Bangladeshi outfits like Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) use Kolkata for logistics, transport, funding and shelter. Bangladeshi outfits use this route to sneak into Nepal," an officer said.

Across poll-bound Bastar region in south Chhattisgarh, where the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hold sway, Security Forces led by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) found about 500kg Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the last 10 days averting loss of lives and property, reports The Times of India on November 8. Maoists planted these IEDs along highways and kutcha village roads, to enforce poll boycott and harm Security Forces. "Of them, most are command wire IEDs. However, pressure IEDs have also been found in Chhattisgarh," said a senior CRPF officer. Early November 7, a CRPF-led joint forces team found two 25kg command wire IEDs packed in steel cans along the highway between Dornapal and Jagargunda in Sukma District. The IEDs were planted close to the spot where the Maoists had ambushed and killed 75 CRPF personnel in 2010. Most of the IEDs detected are made of ammonium nitrate though large number of gelatin IEDs have also been found. Since November 1, security forces found 132kg IEDs in Chhattisgarh and 130kg along the state's border with Jharkhand. More IEDs were defused at the spot they were found. In October, 109kg IEDs were found in Chhattisgarh and 274kg along Chhattisgarh-Jharkhand border. Bastar region, which has seven districts and 12 assembly constituencies spread over about 40,000 sq km, goes to polls on November 11.

Investigations into Bodh Gaya and Patna blasts have revealed that explosives were procured from local stone quarries and well-digging contractors, The Times of India reported on November 8. Bombs in both the blasts used ammonium nitrate mixture even as gelatin sticks were recovered from hideouts of suspects. Both explosives are largely used for mining and quarrying activities and easily pilfered. "The outfit has been procuring explosives from local sources such as stone quarries as coastal and border security has been tightened after 26/11 and it's not easy to smuggle in RDX. Moreover, ammonium nitrate is no less deadly," said an officer privy to investigation details. After the 2010 German Bakery blasts of Pune (Maharashtra), Indian Mujahideen (IM) has not used RDX in any of the blasts, indicating the group has been procuring explosives locally and from easily available sources as RDX is hard to get and is generally smuggled across the border from Pakistan by terror groups.The Hindu reported on November 8, Uzair Ahmed who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for alleged links with the IM is purportedly emerging as a key member of the terror outfit’s module that is suspected to have carried out serial blasts in both Patna and Bodh Gaya. At the instance of his handlers, Uzair had allegedly been funding the module’s operations. The module members were also in touch with their handlers in Pakistan.“Whether he was directly involved in the conspiracies is yet to be established. The accused had, on several occasions, supplied funds to the module members. We suspect this was used to procure raw materials for the improvised explosive devices used in the recent terror strikes,” a senior NIA official said. IM planned to follow up their terror attack in Patna with explosions at Nalanda University and strikes in Chhattisgarh, which votes this month for its next government, say investigators, NDTV reported on November 7. NIA says that it has pieced together the plans of the Mujahideen based on documents that it recovered from a small hotel it raided earlier this week in the hope of finding one of the main planners of the Patna attack.Further, The Hindu reported that few details are available on the past of Hyder Ali, the prime suspect in both the Bodh Gaya and Patna blasts cases. But intelligence sources say he was involved in the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) prior to its proscription in 2001.

New Indian Express reported on November 7 (today) that Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Riyaz Bhatkal and Patna serial blast handler Tehseen Akhtar used Internet chat messenger services of Yahoo and Nimbuzz to plan and coordinate the serial explosions, according to investigations. “The funding for the blasts came through hawala. It is now clear that the ISI provided money to Riyaz Bhatkal to target the BJP rally. After the arrest of Yasin Bhatkal, Tehseen is directly taking orders from Riyaz. They used available chat apps to hide their tracks so that the terror plot and people behind it remain in the domain of speculation,” sources said. It is also learnt that Tehseen Akhtar and IM operative Haider recently recruited tech-savvy modules in the IM fold and they used encryption programs, which provides anonymity in the cyber world. Asian Age further reported Tehseen Akhtar fled to Nepal immediately after the incident and is operating out of a “formidable base” set up by IM in Pokhara. Intelligence sources claim Yasin Bhatkal was also operating out of the same base in Nepal before being arrested.

The crude bombs used during Patna Blast of October 27, 2013 and bombs recovered by the Jharkhand Police could be pilfered industrial explosives, Hindustan Times reports on November 9. Such explosives have been stolen in huge quantities in Jharkhand and Bihar, but there has been no recovery. “The explosives recovered can’t be legally procured. There is every possibility that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) pilfered these industrial explosives,” said Jharkhand Additional Director General (ADG) of Police S.N. Pradhan.The Jharkhand Police have found many similarities in the bombs used in Patna and those seized in Ranchi. “IM is using high-intensity gelatin-based pipe bombs and flame-based elbow bombs, which are relatively weaker,” Pradhan said. Official Documents also suggest that since 2010, about 2 lakh detonators, 3,500 kg power gel and 110 kg ammonium nitrate (used to make gelatin) have been pilfered from Jharkhand and Bihar alone.

NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has warned “other Naga political groups to be cautious while expressing political words” (NSCN-K) especially the “Isak-Muivah group” whom it accused of “anti-Naga attitudes and actions” to “annihilate other Naga political groups”, reports Nagaland Post on November 10. It alleged that NSCN-IM signed the cease fire in 1997 with the Government of India to destroy NSCN-K. It also said that since NSCN-IM was no longer fighting for Naga sovereignty, it has no right to collect ‘taxes’ from Naga country and “ACAUT should not be afraid of half surrendered group”.Nagaland Post reports that ACAUT, on November 9, said the October 31 “public awareness rally” was an outcome of the felt need to gauge public mood on the issue of “unabated taxation and illegal collections” levied by the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) and Government agencies/departments respectively. In a statement, ACAUT media cell said that the Naga people were “tired of the present state of affairs” and pointed out that verdict for change was “crystal clear.” Given the circumstances, ACAUT said it has taken to task all the three entities responsible for the welfare and security of the Naga people- NPGs, the Government of India and the State Government.

Officials privy to the files at Research & Analysis Wing (RAW’s) Pakistan Operations Desk confirmed that only two intercepts, on September 18 and September 24, 2008, were forwarded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) desk in Islamabad (Pakistan) to the RAW headquarters in New Delhi, New Indian Express reported on November 10.“The two inputs had indeed warned of a possible terror strike on Mumbai through sea routes but the claims about 26 intelligence warnings seem to be highly exaggerated. The fact is, the CIA hid more than it had actually revealed to Indian agencies about a terrorist plot in Pakistan,” officials commented. They further added, “A total of three inputs including one input generated by the RAW was received before the attack. There were some other inputs generated by IB which was shared with police and subsequently the security apparatus at two hotels were strengthened”.Former additional secretary of RAW Jayadev Ranade said the initial tip-off definitely came from the CIA, but there was no continuous flow of intelligence. “Our own specific input was more real that a dhow was coming but the Coast Guard didn’t act. In fact, the CIA had more information on terrorist activities in Pakistan which they shared only a few days after the attack. Even Headley’s interrogation was limited,” he said.

India will give Pakistan the “benefit of the doubt” as they pursue peace amid a series of ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir but this cannot be at India’s cost, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said, reports Daily Excelsior on November 11. “…If you look at the ground reality and you look at the result of our meetings, it is very disappointing, particularly in recent times meetings have been somewhat disappointing if not counterproductive. I think the new Government there (Pakistan) has a very very difficult situation to handle. Our view is that we should give them time and benefit of doubt but not at our cost,” Khurshid said in an interview to The Australian newspaper. India would be able to say there is “adequate evidence” of Pakistan’s intent to move forward on bilateral ties if it is “able to address the issue of dismantling of terrorist infrastructure that is targeted at India” and “some accountability is shown on what happened in Mumbai through the legal proceedings that are under way”, he said.

The Telegraph reports that the National Socialist Council of Nagalim-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has revealed for the first time that it has hundreds of members and several offices in foreign countries. Reiterating its stand on collection of ‘tax’ from the people, the group said it had to collect ‘tax’ from the Naga-inhabited areas of Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Myanmar to support its members in foreign countries. The outfit also warned the Action Committee against Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) of Naga Council Dimapur, who had asked the people not to pay tax to the militants. The NSCN IM alleged that the ACAUT was hand-in-glove with its adversaries to undermine Naga nationalism and the outfit would never tolerate this. The NSCN-IM has a strong base in Bangladesh from where arms are supplied to the outfit’s camps in the region. It also has offices in the United States, Germany, Netherlands, China, Thailand, Japan, the Philippines and the United Kingdom. According to intelligence sources, the outfit spends thousands of dollars to maintain its offices abroad. “The peace process has been under way since 1997 and more than 83 rounds of talks have been held in different parts of the world. Socio-cultural promotion and political activism has been on through different channels,” an NSCN-IM release said. “Taxes levied are used for these reasons other than many classified areas of investment,” it said. The outfit’s annual budget has increased manifold as a result of heavy recruitment and procurement of arms from foreign countries, to over INR 1 billion per year. According to intelligence sources, there are nearly 25,000 NSCN members. The salaries of the members range between INR 2,000 and INR 15,000, according to their rank.

The Times of India reports that easy access to sophisticated firearms by Garo militants in Meghalaya has become a major cause for concern for the State Government. Though the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militant group was once believed to have sophisticated arms only, splinter groups in the West Garo hills are also getting these firearms easily nowadays. According to chief minister Mukul Sangma, the porous border has helped these militants groups procure weapons freely. "During several arms hauls by the security forces, we have found automatic sophisticated firearms from these militants. It proves that they (militants) have easy access to these weapons. We believe the arms are coming from the other side of the border. That's why, both the Centre and the state government have emphasized the need to strengthen the 'internal security' of the state on a priority basis," said Sangma.Security sources said that the Garo militants, including some small and splinter groups in Meghalaya, are currently armed with a large number of AK-47s, AK-74s, AK-81s, rocket launchers, Chinese grenades, Heckler and Koch rifles, Glock guns and US-made sophisticated pistols. "Though militant groups like United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), National Socialist Council of Nagalim-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and Peoples' Liberation Army (PLA) were providing arms to Garo ultra groups earlier, now the rebels have direct access to gunrunners from Myanmar and Bangladesh," said a Police official. The official added that the ULFA-I faction is also helping small groups like the United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) by providing them with firearms.The Shillong Times reports that the estimated loss till date due to the damages during the agitations of pressure groups demanding implementation of Inner Line Permit (ILP) has gone up to over INR 500 milion with the recent assessment of over INR 210 million losses due to the destruction of BSNL stockyard. The East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner Sanjay Goyal said that as per the estimate, the total loss due to the ongoing agitations is over Rs 50 crore, which according to him would affect the overall development of the State.

Minutes before his bilateral meeting with Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's foreign policy adviser, Indian Minister for External Affairs, Salman Khurshid said if Pakistan wanted "meaningful dialogue" it had to create "conducive circumstances", The Times of India reported on November 13. Answering questions about Aziz's meeting with the Hurriyat leadership prior to talks with government, he further said, "The recent incidents have not been very encouraging, even counter-productive, not good for conducive environment for Indo-Pak dialogue," adding, "Indian point of view and Indian sensitivities and sentiments have to be respected." Officials said Khurshid conveyed this to Aziz as well.Khurshid, according to official sources, reminded Aziz that India had fulfilled all Pakistani demands for evidence and documentation on the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attacks. It was Pakistan's responsibility now to continue with the trial of the seven accused.Earlier on November 11, Khurshid said that India was watching the developments in Afghanistan closely because it's stability could still be compromised by terrorism. On the issue of engaging the Taliban, the minister said India supported efforts made by Kabul but insisted they should be both Afghan-owned and Afghan-led. India has been critical of involving both the US and Pakistan in these talks since New Delhi is worried that it would be used to bring the Taliban into some kind of a power-sharing agreement in Kabul after NATO forces withdraw next year.

the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) has advised all Kuki people of Chandel District to refrain from attending the alleged concocted Kuki Peoples' Forum invitation regarding the 'Kuki-Naga Reconciliation Day celebration' to be held on November 16 at District Sports Complex, Christian Village of Chandel, reports The Sangai Express on November 14. Rather than following on their own tenet ‘Nagaland for Christ’, Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has resorted to their usual subversive method to gain control of Chandel District through the United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF), which is unfathomably aligned to them. On this occasion they have fabricated ‘Kuki Peoples (Sic) Forum’ to organise ‘Kuki-Naga Reconciliation Day Celebration, the KNO statement said. Today, or whenever, if there is to be reconciliation of Kuki and Naga peoples: a) the two legitimate bodies, Kuki Inpi and United Naga Council must represent the two communities, Kuki and Naga; b) KNO and NSCN-IM must endorse the resolutions of peace and reconciliation passed by Kuki Inpi and United Naga Council, it stated.

Justifying the demand of INR 231.74 crore from14th Finance Commission (FC) beginning from 2015-16 for Policing and security related expenditure, Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar said the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) still has at least 19 hideouts in neighbouring Bangladesh, reports Times of India.CM, Sarkar said NLFT is trying to recruit new cadres and extort money for its revival. The militants have become weak and cornered but they are not totally uprooted. "I made it clear to 14th FC that insurgency in Tripura is contained but not eradicated though we have a remarkable success in dealing with militancy," said Sarkar."NLFT is still active in a few locations of the state and they are trying to disrupt the barbed wire fencing on the 130-kilometre long stretch in the south-eastern part along the Tripura-Bangladesh border," added Sarkar. He however, pointed out that All Tripura Tiger Force militants do not have hideouts in Bangladesh. Sarkar stated that the state's security related expenditure has increased to 16 percent of the total committed expenditure and the figure continues to rise for maintaining peace and fight against the insurgents. He said the present government in Bangladesh has taken action against the northeast militants using its territory, but still there are few more camps of Tripura militants there.

Notwithstanding the fast pace of the exercise it is undertaking to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh, the Centre is worried over the long-term security implications in Telangana as well as residuary Andhra Pradesh (AP), reports The Hindu on November 15. It views the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace, Jehadi terrorism and communalism as the foremost concerns for Telangana while residuary AP would have coastal security as an area of prime concern. In a note titled ' Andhra Pradesh: Emerging concerns following Cabinet decision to divide the State' submitted by senior Security Advisor to Union Home Minister and Task Force on security issues on bifurcation chairman K. Vijay Kumar, Andhra Pradesh came in for lavish praise for creating ‘excellent organisational structures’ in police like Greyhounds and State SIB for fighting the Maoist menace, counter intelligence cell and OCTOPUS to handle the Jihadi terrorism and a strong intelligence network to deal with the communal situation. The Task Force said that Telangana and residuary AP would need to create similar structures/policy framework in shortest possible time, to ensure that Maoists were not able to take advantage of the transition phase and share each other's experiences.

The first phase of Chhattisgarh elections witnessed higher-than-expected turnout but in eight districts worst affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE), at least 20 booths recorded zero polling, an official said, reports The Indian Express. A Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) internal note said "security forces frustrated Maoist plan to disrupt polls." One of the reasons attributed to the eight percent increase in voter turnout compared to the 2008 Assembly elections in these 18 constituencies was the "reach of the security forces deeper into these areas over the past one year." Since November last year, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) established 20 new camps in areas like Narayanpur, Kondagaon and Sukma. Many polling booths were located closer to these camps so that people could vote despite a ban called by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoists). MHA lauded the meticulously planned induction of 564 companies of additional forces, post-induction training including IED detection and most importantly scaling up anti-Maoist operations closer to poll date.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has told the Supreme Court that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ideologues and sympathisers are more dangerous than the armed cadres of the CPI-Maoist as they were making all efforts to keep the Naxal [Left-Wing Extremist (LWE) movement alive, reports The Hindu on November 16. “The ideologues and supporters of the CPI (Maoist) in cities and towns have undertaken a concerted and systematic propaganda against the state to project it in a poor light and also malign it through disinformation… In fact, it is these ideologues who have kept the Maoist movement alive and are in many ways more dangerous than the cadres of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army,” the MHA said in an affidavit in the apex court. The Centre’s affidavit is in response to a Supreme Court notice on a PIL plea seeking directions to the Centre and nine Naxal-affected States to formulate a policy on the Maoist issue.

Manish Kunjam, the Communist Party of India (CPI) candidate of Konta constituency in Chhattisgarh, where the polls have already been held on November 11, alleges that the media reporting on the first phase of elections is “provoking” the Maoists, reports The Hindu on November 17. “The media is routinely highlighting the fact that villagers here have defied the Maoist diktat and voted fearlessly. This may provoke the rebels,” he said in a press statement. “The fact is if the Maoists want, they can influence voting in cities too – in rural areas, no one would dare to vote despite the presence of a large number of forces, unless the Maoists approve of it. The villagers know, they are the ones who have to stay in the village after the forces leave,” Kunjam added. He appealed to media to refrain from provoking the Maoists.

They were identified as Sheikh Azijullah, Moinuddin Mashiuddin Qureshi, Sheikh Habibullah, Hayat Noor Khan alias Raju Mistry and Roshan Ghulam Sheikh. All of them were booked under provisions of the Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act, 1968. Indian Express reports on November 18 that four alleged IM operatives suspected to be involved in the Patna blasts stayed in Raipur for over a fortnight immediately after the incident, according to the Chhattisgarh Police. Additional Director General (ADG, Intelligence) Mukesh Gupta told that the Patna blasts suspects, Haider Ali alias Abdullah, Numan Ansari, Taufeeq Ansari and Mojibullah, were provided shelter in Raipur.

Minister for Home Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan on November 18 said the State Government was planning a multi-pronged approach to tackle the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) threat, including the establishment of a special anti-terrorist force, reports The Hindu. Replying to questions at a press conference, Radhakrishnan said the Home Department had decided to strengthen 16 Police Stations in the tribal areas, in addition to opening Jana Maithri Police Stations. The student police scheme would also be implemented in tribal schools, he said. Persons belonging to the Scheduled Tribe communities would be appointed Home Guards and be given other tasks such as monitoring the reach of Government welfare programmes and development activities. Such measures would ensure a participatory role for the tribals, besides ensuring more interaction with the local population. Currently, the Thunderbolt force was present in the area. The Government would also requisition the services of Central forces, if necessary, but it did not perceive any threats from the Maoists, the Minister said. In reply to a question, Radhakrishnan said the participatory programme of the Government did not have any resemblance to the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante group) force in Chhattisgarh. The objective of the Government was to ensure a participatory role for the tribal population. A joint operation involving the Director Generals of Police of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Police was already in place to monitor the situation, he said.

The Shillong Times reports on November 20 that as many as seven Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) cadres have reportedly fled from their liaison office at Tura youth hostel with a substantial number of weapons to form a new outfit called the A’chik Tigers Force (ATF) blaming the Government and the outfit’s leaders for turning a blind eye to their problems. The cadres reportedly fled under the leadership of Balsrang who happens to be the camp in-charge. Speaking to The Shillong Times, Balsrang said that seven of them abandoned the outfit on November 15 and decamped with five automatic assault rifles, seven pistols, ten hand grenades and four hundred rounds of ammunition from the armory of the ANVC. “We have been unhappy with the state of affairs in our organization. The government has not given us our stipend for the last eight months and have abandoned us,” said Balsrang, who has now taken the name of Dilchong Ioimingchi to lead the ATF. He also attacked the ANVC leaders for treating its cadres with disdain and blamed the leadership for the present crisis within the outfit. “We are no longer able to withstand the suffering and felt the only way was to return to the jungle and once again lead an armed struggle,” said the new militant chief. There is apprehension that more cadres of the group could follow in their footsteps as the new militant chief has revealed that it is wooing other disgruntled members of the ANVC to join their fold. This will be the third major split within the ANVC since its formation in the mid 1990s. The first split took place in 2009 with its former militant commander Sohan D Shira leaving the group to form his own Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). In 2012, the ANVC suffered another split when its spokesman Rimpu (Bernard) Marak alias Torik Jangning left the group to form the ANVC-Breakaway (ANVC-B).

Two militants of the Independent faction of United liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) faction, identified as Siddhartha Dahotia alias Agni and Ratul Bora alias Anupam, surrendered before Tinsukia Superintendent of Police on November 19 after fleeing from the outfit's base in Myanmar and crossing over to India, reports Times of India.

Police said the two militants were among nine other militants, who tried to flee Myanmar and surrender in Tinsukia District but were ambushed by their own colleagues in the outfit and Baruah loyalists with the help of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) cadres. The duo said one member of the fleeing group was killed in the ambush and two others managed to cross the border but are still traceless. They added that they have no idea about the remaining four militants. Immediately after the two surrendered, ULFA-I ‘publicity wing’ issued a statement confirming the escape bid by nine cadres with one weapon. The outfit added that these nine cadres were moles planted inside the outfit by intelligence agencies. "Two of them managed to escape with one weapon but our special operation group nabbed four and killed three. The nabbed cadres have revealed that they were trained by government intelligence agencies and they got themselves recruited into the outfit by taking advantage of some loopholes in our recruitment drive. They were sent with two objectives-to loot our armory and leak information, " said Joy 'Asom', a member of the’ publicity wing’.

IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) on November 20 observed the Bodoland Army Day, an undisclosed location of the neighbouring country, reports The Sentinel. The Bodoland Army is an armed wing of the outfit. The ‘interim Chairman’ of the NDFB– IKS in an email said, “On October 26, 1989, to fight for a free Bodoland from subjugation and occupation, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland began military training of the first batch of Bodoland Army and after rigorous training of 15 days, the passing out parade was held on November 14, 1989. Thereafter, this day has been being observed as the Bodoland Army Day or Bodoland Army Raising Day. In 1984, a letter was written to the President, National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) seeking support and help in their revolutionary struggle to liberate Bodoland. As a part of understanding between the NSCN [Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland] and NDFB, the NSCN had dispatched their military training instructors ‘2nd Lieutenant’ Tamreipam, ‘Sergeant’ Wangpam and ‘Lance Corporal’ Stone to the NDFB training centre in 1989 and the long–cherished wish of getting military training of the cadres in guerrilla warfare as fulfilled. So this Day historically is significant and an important day for the Bodo people and Bodoland”.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Syed Asif Ibrahim has publicly lashed out at Pakistan, for fomenting terror in India and pushing terrorists into Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) to project the state as a disturbed area in the eyes of the world, reported Economic Times on November 21. "In the focus on Pakistan-based terror outfits within J&K and the hinterland, evidence gathered from various cases indicates that Pakistan continues to nurture terrorist groups, their infrastructure and training facilities on its soil, which poses a grave threat to India," Ibrahim said. He said peace and normalcy in J&K had come with people showing faith in the democratic process and defying separatists. "This has brought economic dividends to people in J&K. Unnerved by the changing scenario, efforts are afoot from across the border to vitiate the process and disturb this tranquillity. These efforts are manifested in pushing large number of terrorists into J&K and recently targeting attacking security forces as part of a design to create an environment of fear and project Kashmir as a disturbed area," he added.

The Centre’s satisfaction with peace accords in the Northeast is apparently being neutralised by deepening ethnic fault lines and Anti-Talks outfits operating in the region, reports The Telegraph. Meanwhile, Speaking at the three day long annual conference of Directors-General and Inspectors-General of Police (DGP/IGP) in New Delhi on November 21, Union Home Minister (UHM) Sushilkumar Shinde laid greater emphasis on Paresh Baruah-led United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-Independent) having “spurned the overtures of the government” for talks than the Arabinda Rajkhowa-led ULFA faction or the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) having come forward for parleys. UHM Shinde, also, said agitation for separate States by various groups had made lower Assam and Karbi Anglong “vulnerable to ethnic and communal” tensions. The interests of Rabhas, Garos, Bodos and non-Bodo fail to reconcile, he added. “Special efforts are required to check the growing mistrust, particularly between Bodos and the non-Bodos in the BTAD and its adjoining areas,” he said. The impact of the Bodo-Muslim clashes in the BTAD in 2012 has clearly not been completely resolved. UHM Shinde further added, “In Manipur, the increased targeting of non-Manipuris is an alarming trend”. Besides, a “spillover” of violence among Naga rebel outfits like the Isak-Muivah and Khaplang factions of the NSCN has affected peace in Nagaland and in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tirap, Changlang and Longding Districts, said UHM. Sushil Kumar Shinde also asked Police Forces of the Northeastern States to strictly enforce the ceasefire agreements signed with different militant outfits. This, the minister said, would check the outfits from continuing with their extortion activities that have "affected lives of common people." Shinde said: "Many of these (ceasefire) agreements are being flouted by the militants who are indulging in extortions affecting the lives of common people. Recently, there have been public protests in certain areas against such extortion activities. The State Police forces need to enforce the ceasefire agreements so that relief could be provided to the people." Also, Intelligence Bureau (IB), Director Asif Ibrahim Conceded “There are mixed indicators from the Northeast,” Ibrahim said that there were ethnic and communal issues in the Karbi, Koch Rajbongshi and Bodo areas. While these communities are asking for states, other communities in these regions are against separate state. Referring to the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD), he said the situation there was “fragile due to mistrust” between communities. Ibrahim also pointed to the “growing divide between the Meiteis and the Nagas”, in a way conceding that the Centre and the State Governments have not been able to prevent an increasing divide between the hills and the valley.

The arrested duo were asked by Rajan, a top leader of the CPI-Maoist, to carry out major strikes, arson or blasts in the area as the Maoists are perturbed due to the Police drive against them and arrest of more than 70 Maoists during last one year resulting in decline in its levy collection. East Champaran Superintendent of Police (SP) Vinay Kumar said Hemant Paswan is a native of Sitamarhi and was operating earlier in Sitamarhi and Sheohar Districts.

The Hindu reports that the Union Government began a fresh round of negotiations with leaders of the largest Naga insurgent group, National Socialist Council of Nagland-Isak-Muviah (NSCN-IM), on November 21, hoping to hammer out a political settlement to the decades-old conflict ahead of Lok Sabha elections in 2014. Nagaland Chief Secretary R.S. Pandey, the Union government’s interlocutor, met with the top leadership of the NSCN-IM, represented by its chairman Isak Chishi Swu and general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah, the latest in a series of closed-door negotiations that have continued for more than fifteen years. Neither side made statements after the talks, which are expected to continue for several days. The talks, have been shrouded in secrecy, but a senior Government official told The Hindu, centred around a deal which would give Naga communities in both Nagaland and Manipur similar substantial rights across State lines — but without territorial concessions from Manipur on Naga-inhabited areas in the Districts of Tamenlong, Senapati, Ukhrul and Chandel. “In essence,” the official said, “the best-case outcome would be a deal which created a institutional mechanism to give Naga communities across the region full recognition and rights, but without redrawing state boundaries.” “There is no immediate prospect of a breakthrough, but the Government is optimistic,” he added.

The Union Minister for Home Affairs Sushil Kumar Shinde on November 21 in his opening remarks at the annual conference of Directors General of Police that began in New Delhi said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) continued to be a challenge, reports Daily Excelsior. “This year, there has been an increase in targeted attacks on security forces resulting in nearly 50 personnel losing their lives,’’ said Mr Shinde. “These attacks indicate a nefarious game plan hatched across the border to demoralise our security forces and demonstrate to the people of J&K that the capabilities of militants remain undiminished. There have also been violent actions and ceasefire violations along the border, particularly in Poonch district of Jammu region. Our security forces have responded in right measure and succeeded in neutralising several militant commanders and eliminating 35 terrorists on the LoC this year,” he added.

Though the ANVC has admitted that Sangma went missing on November 15, from Tura, the militant outfit is not sure whether he formed a new militant organisation called Achik Tiger Force (ATF). In a statement issued on November 21, Tangcha A.Sangma, assistant publicity secretary of ANVC, said that that only one of the cadres Balsrang Sangma has been missing from the camp since November 15 along with an office vehicle and not seven cadres as reported. Commenting on the missing cadre, the ANVC said: “Till date he is untraceable and we cannot confirm whether he has deserted the outfit and floated a new outfit or he has been kidnapped by persons unknown or other groups and the statement about the formation of ATF is a ploy to throw the Police and our organisation off track from looking for him”. “As for the report about the arms stolen from the armoury, we would like to clarify that there is no armoury at the liaison office as all the arms have been shifted from joint custody to the police reserve two years back, the ANVC leader said. The ANVC asserted that till any concrete information regarding his whereabouts is known, Balsrang is still part of the organization and “we will continue searching for him”.

A US federal court has reduced the prison sentence of Kashmiri separatist and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agent Ghulam Nabi Fai by about four months in response to a petition from the US Government, reports Deccan Chronicle. In a petition filed on November 15, 2013, US Assistant Attorney Gordon Kromberg sought a reduction in Fai's prison term because he had cooperated in bringing to book other persons involved in transferring funds from the ISI to the US to serve the cause of Pakistan. "Upon consideration of the government's motion for reduction of sentence and the court, after reviewing the record and hearing the arguments of counsel and having found that the defendant has rendered substantial assistance to the government, it is accordingly ordered that the government's motion for reduction of sentence is granted," District Judge Liarn O'Gra said in an order issued on November 22. Fai, 63, was arrested on July 19, 2011, for concealing the transfer of USD 3.5 million from the ISI to fund his illegal lobbying efforts and to influence the US government on the Kashmir issue. Prosecutors said his actions violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. In December 2011, Fai pleaded guilty to federal charges of acting on behalf of the ISI. He also acknowledged receiving money from ISI through clandestine routes and causing revenue losses. In March 2012, Fai was sentenced to two years in prison for "conspiracy to defraud the US" by concealing the transfer of the funds from the ISI. He was scheduled to be released in March 2014.

Life was paralyzed in Imphal, on November 22, due to a 24-hour general strike called by the Maoist Communist Party-Manipur (MCP-M) to denounce the alleged loss of Manipur's territory as a result of the controversial India-Myanmar border fencing along the Moreh sector, reports The Times of India. The MCP-M said the general strike is the first step of its "People's Resistance" for the "indigenous land and people". Many civil society organizations and opposition parties feared that a large portion of Manipur's territory will fall into Myanmar owing to the ongoing 'flawed' bordering fencing. Manipur shares a 398-km border with Myanmar. They categorically demanded that the Centre halt the fencing work until the international boundary is clearly demarcated by the two neighboring countries.

Nagaland Post reports that Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khole-Kitovi (NSCN-KK) celebrated its 6th unification anniversary and the 60 years service of its ‘president’ Khole Konyak, on November 22, at the Khehoi designated camp in Dimapur District, attended by hundreds from civil societies, public, well wishers and ‘Naga Army’. Khole Konyak said he joined the movement at a young age and continued to serve even till today. Khole reiterated that though were many “big Naga leaders” today, yet none initiated the feeling of “oneness” among Nagaland and reiterated that unless Nagas unite nothing could be achieved. He lamented that Nagas today were shedding blood of “our own brothers” and hoped the spirit of nationalism would not leave Nagas. NSCN-KK’s ‘Ato Kilonser’ (prime minister), Kitovi Zhomimi said that time has come for the Nagas to be practical and to decide what they want. On formation of Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC), the ato kilonser said he do not see why Nagas of Nagaland should not have their platform if Nagas of Manipur could have United Naga Council (UNC) in Manipur. He said people from Manipur, Assam and Arunachal must not “decide the future of the Nagas of Nagaland”, and no objection should be raised when Nagas of Nagaland formed a platform to address their problems. On formation of Action Committee Against Unabated Taxation (ACAUT), Kitovi said that it was “shameful” on the part of the ‘Naga national workers’ when ACAUT came out with their resolution to pay ‘tax’ to one Government. He said it should be taken as a challenge by the all the ‘Naga national political groups’ to realize “our fault” instead of threatening ACAUT.

The red corridor is expanding with three southern States — Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala — trying to get the Left Wing Extremist (LWE) status from the Centre, reports The Hindu on November 23. The move, which comes ahead of next year's Lok Sabha (lower house of the Parliament) polls, is based on "intelligence reports" suggesting that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is trying to strengthen its South West regional bureau in the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karanataka. The grant of LWE status would mean extension of special infrastructure schemes (SIS), security related expenditure (SRE) and integrated action plan (IAP) schemes. The threat posed by Maoists in southern States was also discussed during the ongoing Police chiefs conference in New Delhi. According to security agencies, Maoists aim to develop some Districts in the three states with a view to provide shelter to its leadership in the event of increased anti-Maoist operations in its strongholds in central India. The union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has also written to the Governments of the three States informing them about the activities of the CPI-Maoist. According to MHA, the presence of Maoist groups has been noticed on 15 occasions in the Districts of Malappuram, Wayanand and Kannur Districts in Kerala, and in Mysore, Kodagu, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Shimoga Districts in Karnataka. Similarly, activities of Maoists front bodies have increased in Erode District in Tamil Nadu. "In these areas, the cadres of CPI (Maoists) were were trying to reach out to the targeted social sections by raising issues of displacement, discrimination, 'neo-liberal' economic policies and social subjugation while exhorting them to join the 'revolutionary struggle' to 'recapture' forest, water, land and factories," said one of the communications. The Centre also advised the states to develop anti-Naxal forces. In its letter, the MHA said, "The financial incentive for personnel in anti-Maoist units is perhaps only 20%of the basic salary, whereas in all the LWE affected states, the incentives ranges from 50-60% of the total salary. The state can consider enhancing the incentive. The forces in these units are ageing with most of the personnel above 35 years. This factor would vastly impair their mobility. Since, this a deputationist force, there appears to be need for infusion of younger fresh blood."

"People engaged in rivalry or enmity are hiring PLFI members at rate of Rs.10,000 to Rs.30,000 to execute contract killings," the police official said. Police earlier considered the killings an outcome of rivalry between the CPI-Maoist and PLFI. Investigations into some cases of murder, however, revealed the new trend.

Lawyers for seven Pakistanis accused of involvement in the Mumbai 2008 attacks (also known as 26/11) on November 25 said the case against them “lacks evidence”, reports Daily Times. Pakistan charged seven men in 2009 over the attacks, but has insisted it needs to gather more evidence in India before proceeding further, infuriating New Delhi. Rizwan Abbasi, a lawyer for the accused said the Indians only had themselves to blame for the slow progress. “This case has many legal flaws and lacks evidence. It is being delayed in Pakistan because India has failed to provide required evidence against the accused,” he said in a news conference. The only gunman to survive the siege, Ajmal Kasab, was tried in Mumbai and hanged on November 21, 2012 for waging war against India, murder and terrorist attacks. “By hanging Kasab, India destroyed the only living evidence of these attacks and created problems for investigations in Pakistan,” Abbasi said. New Delhi has branded Pakistan’s attempts at prosecuting the men a “facade” and has insisted it has already handed over enough evidence to convict the accused. Abbasi claimed the dossiers handed over by India contained only “information and no solid evidence”. “There was also no proof that the attackers had any link with my clients because the phone numbers Indian authorities said were used for the contacts were not of Pakistani companies,” he added.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is making efforts to open a new theatre in south India with movement of armed cadres witnessed in Western Ghats and tri-junction of Tamil Nadu- Kerala-Karnataka, posing a serious security threat to the three States, reports The Hindu. In an internal communication, Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has said the CPI-Maoist’s efforts in the direction of expanding its organisational base in Western Ghats and the area around the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu-Kerala-Karnataka are discernible. The activities are in the form of relative increase in movement of armed cadres in the area, along with activities of its frontal organisations and over-ground elements. However, at this stage it can easily be controlled through a well-formulated action plan, the Home Ministry said. During this year, so far, presence and movement of armed CPI-Maoist groups have been noticed on over two dozen occasions in the Districts of Malappuram, Wayanand and Kannur in Kerala and Mysore, Kodagu, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Shimoga Districts in Karnataka. Though adjoining areas of Tamil Nadu have not witnessed any movement of armed Maoist cadres, activities of its front bodies have increased distinctively in Erode District, the Home Ministry said. Based on various intelligence inputs, the Ministry has asked Police forces of the three States to maintain strict vigil along the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu-Kerala-Karnataka and all-out efforts be made to check the activities of the Maoists in the initial stage itself.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has issued death sermons against four villagers through posters and pamphlets pasted at Bamdah village in Jamui District and at some public places on the Jamui-Chakai road, reports The Telegraph. Police have claimed it to be a reflection of frustrations of the rebels after facing huge defeat and loss of their top leaders at the hands of security forces. Avinash, a spokesperson of CPI-Maoist, recently appealed to Armed Force personnel deployed in this region to return their service weapons and go back to their native places. He said the government, on the pattern of the Green Hunt operations, has been utilising the armed forces to curb the voices of poor people in rural areas. He alleged that poor rural people have been subjected to torture and humiliation at the hands of Armed Forces. Avinash, said the CPI-Maoist had in September 2013 appealed to armed force personnel to return their service weapons, which they generally used against poor and innocent people. “Nobody has listened to our appeals and that is why the CPI-Maoist again asks the security personnel to return their weapons and go back to their native places within December 30, 2013,” he said. The posters announced death sentences for Bikash Sha, Amit, Sudhir Modi, Munna Keshri and Lalo Sha, all residents of Bamdah under the jurisdiction of Chandramandi police station in Jamui, for their alleged role in protesting the district administration’s bid to remove a police camp of Bihar Military Police (BMP). The camp was set up at Bamdah in 2006 after rebels killed four traders and a village chowkidar accusing them of being police informers.

His remarks came when asked about the claim of Raja Rizwan Abbasi, counsel for Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other accused, that the dossiers provided by India was information and not evidence as required by the court, and what was provided was a “sham”not evidence.

The Centre and the Assam government signed an agreement for suspension of operations (SoO) with the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-RD) in Guwahati on November 29, reports The Telegraph. The agreement was signed at the headquarters of the Special Branch of State Police at Kahilipara in the presence of Sambhu Singh, the joint secretary (Northeast) in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Assam Home Secretary G.D. Tripathi, Additional Director-General of Police (special branch) Pallab Bhattacharyya, ADGP-law and order, A.P. Raut and a six-member delegation of NDFB-RD leaders, led by Daimary, were also present. “Security forces will not take any action against the outfit’s cadres unless there is a violation of the ceasefire ground rules,” an official source said. According to the agreement, two designated camps will be set up in Udalguri district and at Panbari in Dhubri district for the outfit’s cadres. The NDFB-RD had submitted a list of 541 cadres to the Government, but the number is likely to increase as some NDFB cadres, who are now with the Songbijit faction [NDFB-IKS], are likely to join the Daimary faction, he added. The outfit will immediately deposit 40 weapons, including some AK-series rifles, the source said. “But the process of surrendering of arms will continue as they have told us that many of their cadres are outside the state and more arms will be deposited when they will come. Till the Songbijit faction comes forward for talks, there will be no let-up in operations against this faction,” he added. The pact will remain in effect for six months, after which it will be reviewed and a decision on its extension will be taken. The NDFB –RD had declared a unilateral ceasefire on August 1, 2011.

The NDFB-RD a Chairman’ admitted that he had recently got in touch with IK Songbijit and tried to persuade him to join the peace process. Replying to a question as to why Songbijit, who was made ‘commander-in-chief’ of the NDFB-RD by Daimary, broke away to form a new outfit, he said, “I was in jail when the division took place. Songbijit might have been frustrated with the delay on the part of the Government in responding to our unilateral ceasefire. As Songbijit is in Myanmar, the possibility of him coming under pressure from Paresh Baruah, commander-in-chief of the ULFA-I [Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Assam] and SS Khaplang, chief of the NSCN-K [Khaplang faction of NSCN] also cannot be ruled out.”

Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other "agencies of Islamic Republic of Pakistan" have been funding activities of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in Jammu and Kashmir through cross-border trade between India and Pakistan, a chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a case of terror funding on November 30, reports The Times of India. This and other methods of funding led to an inflow of INR 800 million into the coffers of HM in the past eight years, the chargesheet said. Filed against HM ‘chief’ Syed Salahuddin and nine others, the chargesheet was on December 3 taken cognizance of by the NIA special court in Delhi. Detailing methods of funding terror activities in the Valley, the chargesheet said HM terrorists, who crossed over to Pakistan in the garb of traders, were involved in trade across the Line of Control (LoC) and misused it to send money and weapons to the Indian side from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan. It said some truck drivers were also involved in it. The chargesheet further said HM's modus operandi was to "under invoice the goods sent from across PoK/Pakistan. Indian counterparts send an equivalent goods as per barter system and the extra money generated in this exchange is collected by HM from traders in India." NIA claimed to have evidence that "around 263 individuals based in PoK who are assigned the work of relief takers in Pakistan/PoK" are active terrorists of HM. These relief takers had obtained Rs 2.09 crore from Jammu and Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust (JKART), an overground NGO working as a front for HuM to fund terror, for further distribution among 673 beneficiaries. JKART also received funds from another trust 'Relief Organization for Kashmiri Muslims (ROKM)' founded for rehabilitation of migrant Kashmiri Muslims in Pakistan and PoK, it said, adding JKART and ROKM were primarily funded by Pakistan government and its agencies.

State Chief Minister, Okram Ibobi Singh on November 30 appealed to the insurgents of all hues to come to the negotiating table for talks, reports Nagaland Post. The government is keeping its door wide open for them. He said that tourists do not want to come to Manipur in view of the alarming law and order situation. Though several businessmen and industrialists want to invest considerably in Manipur, they are having second thoughts since the insurgents are making their presence felt here and there. Out of hardly 30 lakh population, over 7 lakh educated youths are in the live employment register. If tourism is developed in a big way, many of them could get employment, he said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 30 charge sheeted chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Syed Salahudin, along with nine other top militant ‘commanders’ for funding militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. The charge sheet was filed in the NIA Special Court, Patiala House, New Delhi, against ten accused persons belonging to the HM. The accused include chairman of Pakistan based Jammu and Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust (JKART), an organization used by HM to “finance militant activities in the State. The case regarding regular and systematic funding of HM for carrying out militant activities in the State was registered by the NIA against Salahudin and others in October 2011. The NIA investigations have established that under the cover of the JKART, the HM operatives based in Pakistan used to provide funds through different channels for militant activities in India. NIA sources said that permission had been received from the government to send letter rogatory (LR) to Pakistan asking the authorities to arrest Salahuddin, who has taken shelter in Pakistan since 1989, and seven others named as proclaimed offenders in the charge sheet, adds The Times of India. It is the first case in which Salahuddin has been declared a proclaimed offender, paving the way for authorities to send an LR for his arrest. "We have conclusively proven the flow of funds from across the border to the outfit and are sure of taking the case to its logical conclusion. Following the LR, we will also get an RCN issued against Salahuddin," said an unnamed senior NIA official.

Three Assamese Muslim communities, Goria, Moria and Deshi, have stepped up their demand for protection of their "exclusive" ethnic identities, arguing that their ethnicity should not be clubbed with their religion, reports Times of India.
