Cross-border infiltration increased in June and July 2005 due to melting of snow along the border, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee informed the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) on August 3. "It was observed that there was a reduction in the number of infiltration attempts from across the border in the initial five months of 2005. However, there has been an increase in cross-border infiltration in June and July 2005," he said during the Question Hour. The minister also informed the House that there has been no reduction in the number of troops deployed on the border in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) as reports indicated that the logistic infrastructure of terrorist training camps inside Pakistan and in Pakistan occupied Kashmir still remained intact. He added that there were no reports to suggest that Pakistan has reduced troops on its borders. He disclosed that recent reports indicated that a large number of launching camps along the Line of Control (LoC) from Rajouri to Gurez Sector were activated where terrorists have been kept in readiness for infiltration. The army, according to Mukherjee, has killed 560 terrorists in J&K in various operations till July 27, 2005.

On August 3, in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament), the Minister of State for Home, Sriprakash Jaiswal, informed that the Union Government has revised its Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme for left-wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) affected States to make full reimbursement of money spent by the States on activities undertaken to counter Naxalism. The revision has been done as a large portion of the funds allocated under the scheme remained unutilised, as the earlier rate of reimbursement was 50 per cent and also due to its limited scope with regard to a number of eligible items. The scheme, revised in February 2005, envisages 100 per cent reimbursement of expenditure, among others, ex-gratia grant paid to families of victims of Naxalite violence, special training given to state police personnel and insurance for state police personnel involved in anti-Naxalite operations.

India’s Defence Minister, Pranab Mukherjee, expressed concern that the situation in Nepal could go 'out of hand' because the Royal Nepalese Army's (RNA) efforts to counter the Maoists were proving ineffective. "The Royal Nepalese Army is trying to contain the Maoists, but its efforts are not effective. We hope it successfully tackles them, otherwise, the situation will go out of hand," Mukherjee said on August 7. "We are trying to impress upon (the Nepalese) government to tackle the Maoists. But, unfortunately, certain recent developments in that country like the suppression of its constitution and the multi-party system had set back anti-Maoist initiatives," he added. Referring to the links between Maoists in both the countries, the minister said "many of them have the fancy idea of setting up a liberated corridor starting right from the Terai region and going through parts of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and Maharashtra."

On August 14, the Government announced a new hijack policy, under which for the first time, it can shoot down a commercial aircraft if it is turned into a ‘missile’ by the hijackers. The policy, approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), also reportedly states that there will be no negotiations with hijackers on their demands. Hijackers will be engaged in negotiations only to bring an end to the incident, comfort passengers and prevent loss of life but without conceding to any demand. Consequent to the CCS approval, sources said, the policy is now operational and mock exercises can be expected in the near future to test how it works. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security is also preparing an Aviation Security manual that will list out procedures and identify strategic targets, according to Indian Express. Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee told the media that if a hijacking incident occurred on Indian soil, the aircraft would be immobilised and not allowed to take off. On shooting down the aircraft, the Minister said these would be undertaken in extreme circumstances. According to the policy, if a ‘rogue aircraft’ paid no heed to Air Traffic Controller warnings and deviated from its specified path or headed towards any strategic spot such as the Rashtrapati Bhavan, India Gate or Parliament House, a decision on shooting it down would come into play. In case of an emergency situation, the shoot down orders could be given by the Prime Minister, Defence Minister or Union Home Minister, whoever could be contacted first. The policy also provides for death penalty to hijackers and lays down procedures to ensure that the National Security Guard commandos, accompanied by a central negotiating team, are airborne within two hours of the hijack.

Addressing the nation on Independence Day on August 15, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asserted that the entire infrastructure of terrorism in Pakistan should be "totally dismantled" as "half-hearted" efforts at curbing terrorists cannot succeed. "I am aware that the Government of Pakistan has put some checks on the activities of terrorists from its soil. However, it is not possible to achieve success through half-hearted efforts. It is necessary that the entire infrastructure of terrorism is totally dismantled," he said. Referring to Jammu and Kashmir, the Prime Minister said terrorists have never been friends of the people. As long as they continue their terrorist attacks, the armed forces would be alert and would give them a fitting response in which common citizens might also be affected at times, he said, adding "if violence continues then our response too will be hard." Dr. Singh also reiterated, "I have said before and I am repeating once again that there is no issue that cannot be resolved through the process of discussion and dialogue. Our doors are open and will continue to be open for anyone interested in dialogue."

The Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has called for an inclusive dialogue on Jammu and Kashmir involving all three regions even as he criticised people indulging in double standards on human rights. Addressing an Independence Day function at the Bakshi Stadium, he said the Centre is open to unconditional talks which should also include different shades of opinion apart from the separatist groups. Rejecting double standards on human rights, Sayeed said some people show selective concern on incidents of excesses. "While they raise hue and cry on a human rights violation involving a security force personnel they maintain complete silence on killings of innocent people including women, children and political workers by the other side," he stated. He said "This double standard must go. Our Government has made it clear that human rights violations would not be countenanced and has made the security forces accountable. Strict action is taken against the guilty."

On August 21, inaugurating a national seminar at Hyderabad Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh asked Naxalite and other extremist groups to eschew violence and test their popularity in elections. He stated: "I have said this to the Hurriyat in Kashmir, the ULFA in Assam, and to the naxalite brethren in Andhra Pradesh." Dr. Singh said that extremism in any form based on any divisive ideology of hatred could not be tolerated in a civilised democratic society. He added, "Go ask the people to vote for you and support you. Come to the legislature and enact the laws that you wish to see in place. By all means use the media to convey your views and use the legislature to convert them into policies. In a democracy the power of the people flows through the ballot box and not from the barrel of a gun."

According to The Telegraph, D. C. Bora, a doctor who was arrested along with two of his nurses on August 22 from Rupaisiding in the Tinsukia district, has confessed to having treated cadres of the outlawed United Liberation front of Asom (ULFA), including Jiten Dutta alias Moon Bora, the outfit’s '28 battalion commander'. Dr. Bora said, "Last month [July], they (ULFA cadres) took me forcibly from my nursing home and asked me to provide medical assistance to some of their colleagues who were suffering from malaria." The army, however, said that Dr. Bora is a key member of the ULFA. "We were tailing him for almost a year now. But we did not have any concrete evidence on which we could nail him. The arrest of an ULFA linkman Tarun Gogoi on August 21 provided the vital input that he had seen the doctor treating the militants in a hideout last month," said Col A.K. Singh, Commanding Officer of the 5 Madras Regiment, headquartered at Dholla.

He also said "During the meeting we shall be asking the home ministry officials to let us know the status of the talks with the NSCN-I-M as the outcome of the negotiations was not transparent."

With the 60-day-old economic blockade of Manipur by Naga students associations affecting normal life in the State, the Supreme Court on August 22 issued notices to the Centre and the State Governments on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking an early end to the hardships faced by the people of the State. According to Press Trust of India, the apex court issued notices on the PIL filed by Kh. Jibon Singh alleging that the blockade had led to violation of the right to equality, life and free movement of the people of Manipur. The petition said the blockade, led by the All Naga Students’ Association Manipur (ANSAM), has increased the price of essential commodities like petrol, cooking gas and kerosene out of the reach of common man. The ANSAM had initiated a blockade to protest the Manipur Government’s declaration of June 18 every year as ‘Solidarity Day’ in memory of Manipuris killed in 2001 when the Centre extended the area of cease-fire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) beyond Nagaland. The petitioner said Manipur was connected to the rest of India by National Highway-39, which has been blocked, and the other road NH-53 had not been secured by the security forces in addition to it being non-motorable in many parts.
