Following discussions between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the visiting Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia at New Delhi on March 21, both countries agreed that they were victims of terrorism and should join hands to fight the problem. The External Affairs Ministry spokesperson stated that Home Secretaries of the two countries would meet often and exchange information, while the Joint Rivers Commission too would meet frequently to address water disputes. The two countries also agreed operationalise the Sealdah-Devpura railway link. Two pacts, a revised trade accord and another to prevent illicit narcotics trafficking were signed in the presence of the Prime Ministers. In his banquet speech on March 21-night, Dr. Singh said the dialogue had been "most useful" in understanding each other's point of view and in making progress on different issues. "We believe sincerely that India and its neighbours have a common destiny. One cannot prosper without the other, and it is only through cooperation within the region that we can compete outside it. We believe it is our fundamental interest to see a strong, stable and economically strong Bangladesh making its full contribution to regional development," he said. Begum Khaleda, on the other hand, asked her counterpart to take steps to encourage more exports from Bangladesh, including duty-free access to goods. "This would help us base our economic relations on an even more solid foundation. Your positive response would help Bangladesh in narrowing the widening trade gap between our two countries."

Army Chief General J. J. Singh is reported to have expressed deep concern at the continuance of terrorist infrastructure across the border in Pakistan. "As per our information, the infrastructure to train terrorists across the border is intact", Gen. Singh informed the media at the concluding day of the Army Commanders conference in New Delhi on April 20. "Somebody is obviously helping them", the Army chief pointed out even while conceding that violence had gone down in Jammu and Kashmir. Giving details of the past two years, Gen. Singh said while during 2004-05 a total of 870 terrorists had been killed at the cost of 160 soldiers, 2005-06 had seen 860 terrorists and 115 soldiers being killed. The Army chief said that and the overall security situation in Jammu and Kashmir continued to remain "fairly stable" with violence levels down.

Official sources in New Delhi said the Taliban never had any intention of negotiating since the body, after it was found, showed that he must have been killed on April 29-evening. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s media adviser Sanjaya Baru said, "The PM has... expressed grief and sorrow and has asked the nation to remain united in the fight against terrorism." Foreign secretary Shyam Saran blamed the Taliban and "its sponsors" for the "dastardly and inhuman act of terror... which has resulted in the tragic and untimely death of an innocent Indian citizen, who, like many of our other compatriots, had been making a contribution in Afghanistan’s reconstruction." Reiterating India’s stand on the Taliban, Saran said: "The government of India regards Taliban a terrorist organisation and calls upon the international community to recognise its true colours and join hands together to defeat this scourge to humanity." In Kabul, President Hamid Karzai condemned the killing and reportedly ordered the security forces to hunt down those responsible.

With Pakistan refusing to agree on authentication of present troop positions on the Siachen glacier, talks between India and Pakistan on demilitarisation in Siachen failed to yield any breakthrough in New Delhi on May 24, but the two countries decided to continue with the cease-fire there, according to Press Trust of India. Concluding the two-day Defence Secretary-level talks, both countries, however, issued a joint statement in which they agreed to continue the negotiations to resolve the issue in a peaceful manner. The two sides also reaffirmed their commitment to continue the truce in Siachen in place since November 2003. "In this round of discussions, we could not make a breakthrough," Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee said. He also said the Pakistani side "is not agreeing to the proposal for authentication of positions (held by the Indian and Pakistani forces) for quite some time and this is the area of difference which can continue..."

Endorsing India’s contention that cross-border terrorism continues, the US said on August 7 that terrorist groups having "designs" against India still have a presence in Pakistan, according to Press Trust of India. US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Richard Boucher said in New Delhi, however, that his country would like to see progress on Kashmir issue resolution through dialogue. Boucher, who met Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran and held extensive discussions on terrorism and civil nuclear deal with External Affairs Ministry Joint Secretary (Americas) S Jai Shanker, also sought to allay concerns in India with regard to certain aspects of the civil nuclear deal. Boucher is reported to have said "we all know there is terrorism in the (South Asian) region. Some of terrorism is in Pakistan. Some of the (terror) groups that have designs against India still have pieces in Pakistan."

Delivering his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort in New Delhi on August 15, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh asked Pakistan to take concrete steps to end cross-border terrorism directed against India, warning that the peace process would be affected if this was not done. Addressing the nation on India’s 59th independence anniversary, Dr. Singh pointed out that New Delhi had unveiled several initiatives to usher in peace with Pakistan. “To be successful, these initiatives need an atmosphere of peace,” he said, adding “It is obvious that unless Pakistan takes concrete steps to implement the solemn assurances it has given to prevent cross-border terrorism against India from any territory within its control, public opinion in India, which has supported the peace process, will be undermined.”

Maintaining that Pakistan has not dismantled the terrorist infrastructure existing on its soil, the Government said on August 23 that the neighbouring country’s external intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) continues to provide "directions" and "logistics" support to terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) active in India, according to Press Trust of India. "We have not received any information on dismantling of terrorist training camps," Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said in the Upper House of the Parliament (Rajya Sabha). He said information about existence of terrorist training camps was passed on to Pakistan during the Home Secretary-level talks between the two countries. According to available inputs, the ISI continues to provide directions and logistics support, including recruitment, arms training and funds, to groups like the LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Al-Badr for terrorist related activities in Jammu and Kashmir despite Government’s peace initiatives and Prime Minister’s invitation to separatist leaders for two Round Table conferences. "Available inputs indicate Pakistan’s ISI continues to remunerate terrorists for attacks on security forces and political leaders… The serial grenade attacks on April 14 and July 11, 2006 in Srinagar city and killing of tourists are reportedly the result of directives received by the terrorist outfits from across the border," said Patil. "We have given documents pointing out to places where training is imparted to terrorists," he said adding Pakistan was in a denial mode.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said intelligence agencies had warned of a further intensification of terrorist violence with the possibility of more Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks, according to The Hindu. He said that use of suicide bombers; attacks on economic and religious targets and targeting of vital installations, including nuclear establishments and Army camps, were very much on the agenda of terrorist outfits. The Prime Minister also said intelligence reports had suggested that terrorist modules and "sleeper cells" existed in some of the urban areas. Dr. Singh said the country was confronted with an array of complex internal security problems and threats and each of these needed to be dealt with in different ways. Focussing on left-wing extremism, terrorism and how to assuage feelings of insecurity among minorities, particularly Muslims, the meeting also reviewed developments in the North-East and Jammu and Kashmir. Stressing upon the need to have greater alertness by the States and local intelligence agencies as also the police, who have a locational advantage, the Prime Minister said that unless the "beat constable" was brought into the vortex of the counter-terrorist strategy, the capacity to pre-empt future attacks would be severely limited.

Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee, speaking to The Hindu after inaugurating a Coast Guard Commanders' conference in New Delhi, said that the activity of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in India was a "matter of concern". He said that investigations were underway into last week's arrests of two Army personnel for espionage. "It is not a question of giving somebody [Pakistan] another opportunity. Whenever espionage takes place, strict action is taken”, Mukherjee said. He further said, “The espionage rings might have started from Kashmir. We have to first unearth the network they have developed. It appears that they were networked in Delhi and Kathmandu. Other kingpins have to be found out... "

Confirming that India had presented some material about cross-border terror links, Pakistani Foreign Secretary Riaz Muhammad Khan said in New Delhi on November 15 that the information pertained to earlier terrorist attacks, and not the July 11, 2006-Mumbai blasts. Speaking after the discussions, India’s Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon said information on the Mumbai blasts could be handed over only after a charge sheet was filed in court. Menon also said India had asked Pakistan to put an end to the activities of terrorist groups banned in both countries (such as the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] and Jaish-e-Mohammed [JeM]). To a question whether terrorist camps existed in Pakistan, Menon replied in the affirmative.

On November 18, in an interview he gave to The Hindustan Times, Prachanda who had visited the Indian capital New Delhi to attend the Leadership Summit organized by the daily, disclosed "that when he decided to take the 'movement to the streets', back in 1996, he was offered "assistance" in the form of arms and money from representatives claiming to be from the ISI." "When we initiated the armed movement against the corrupt rule in Nepal (in 1996)," Prachanda had said, "ISI-type people offered us money and arms assistance. I resisted and our council agreed to refuse the assistance because we felt our movement would lose its Nepali-people-centric approach," Prachanda said, explaining his reasons for turning down such assistance.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said on November 22 that a "foreign country" and its spy agency were directing terrorist groups to the hinterland and making attempts to use local miscreants and organisations to perpetrate violent activities in the country, reports The Hindu. Inaugurating a three-day conference of State police chiefs in New Delhi, he said, "Apart from prominent individuals, organisations, institutions, vital installations, economic centres and important heritage monuments, our maritime interests are likely targets.” Patil further said that India's proposed civil nuclear deal with the US has made the country's atomic power plants highly vulnerable to terrorist threats, reports Indian Express. "In view of the recent Indo-US agreement on civil nuclear energy cooperation, our atomic power plants have become highly vulnerable”. He said that key installations in the oil and natural gas sector, defence, communications and IT are also equally vulnerable. "Some Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist operatives are being trained specifically for sabotage of oil installations. There are plans to occupy some uninhabited islands and use them as bases for launching operations on the Indian coast,” Patil said. He added "They also plan to induct arms, ammunition through the sea routes. Simultaneously, we understand the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) has been collecting information on the location of various refineries on or near the Indian coastline.”

Stating that India was exposed to threats from various sources bent on weakening the polity and hindering economic progress, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on November 23 said that the challenge of terrorism must be countered comprehensively, according to Times of India. "Open societies like ours are increasingly vulnerable to threats from many sources. There are misguided elements at home and in our neighbourhood and their ideologies negate all that India stands for," Dr. Singh said at the annual conference of Directors General of Police and Inspectors General of Police in New Delhi.

The Director of Intelligence Bureau, E. S. L. Narasimhan, told a gathering of senior police officials in New Delhi on November 23 that for effectively combating terrorism, not only are new laws required, but police officials also ought to be shielded by a legal framework, according to Indian Express. “There is need for a more robust legal framework to deal with sudden terror attacks since police officials find themselves helpless in such situations. To counter terrorism, adequate legal protection to police officials is also needed,” he said. He also spoke about the harassment police personnel have to endure in courts for alleged human rights violations, Times of India reported. He expressed concern at the fact that officers responsible for neutralising Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks are subjected to legal and extra-legal campaigns by activists. "We need to find answers to these issues as national counter-terrorism strategy suffers immensely when officers and men who put at stake everything in protecting society, find themselves helpless facing legal and extra-legal campaigns when the threats have receded," Narasimhan said.

The three Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, who were arrested by the Delhi Police on December 19 near the Red Fort in the national capital, came from Manipur, reports The Hindu. The police claimed to have recovered two kilograms of RDX, a hand grenade and two detonators from the arrested persons, who were allegedly planning to carry out bomb blasts at crowded market places in Delhi. The Joint Commissioner of Delhi Police (Special Cell), Karnal Singh, informed that this is the first time that the LeT has been found to have links in Manipur. He also said that a lead into the activities of the module was provided by two Bangladeshi nationals, who were arrested in the Capital in October 2004 with plastic explosives. During interrogation, one of the three arrested militants, Salman Khurshid Kori, said that he was sent to Pakistan occupied Kashmir for training in 2001 and had recruited few persons for the purpose. He also claimed to have mediated between the Manipur-based Islamist outfit, the People’s United Liberation Front (PULF), and LeT militants based in Bangladesh.
