NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has blamed Isak and Muivah for factionalism when they not only condemned the Naga National Council (NNC) “the mandated political institution but also started killing thousands of Nagas” by accusing them of supporting the 1975 Shillong Accord, reports Nagaland Post. It also said that killing of ‘national workers’ accused of being supporters of Shillong Accord only “multiplied factions”. Today, there are ten factions “which are product of Isak and Muivah”, it added. NSCN-K further asserted that the Government of India, after almost 15 years has realised too late, that there can be no Naga solution with one faction and urged upon the latter to realise that the NSCN-K under the leadership of S.S. Khaplang was capable of bringing a lasting solution to the long-standing Naga issue. Further, it also asserted that the NSCN-K was capable of bringing a solution not only for Nagas but also the entire north east. It said, there can be no solution without involvement of NSCN-K and that any solution arrived at with NSCN-IM “will be a mockery.”

The Union Government has decided to ignore threats from Maoists and go ahead with developing an iron ore mine in the Left Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected Districts of Kanker and Narayanpur in the State that would supply raw material to the iconic Bhilai steel plant, reported The Hindu on November 2. It has also decided to construct a 90-kilometres-long railway track through Maoist strongholds to transport ore from the Rowghat mines to the plant. “We have assured the Steel Ministry and Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) officials that it would provide enough security personnel so that work on the important project could go on smoothly. All statutory clearances for the project have been taken and work on the project would commence soon. Although Maoists have threatened to disrupt work at the new mine, which lies in a remote area, we are sure that our security personnel, along with local people, will ensure that the work is completed at the earliest, which will also help in the development and progress in the region,” a senior official of the Ministry for Home Affairs (MHA) said.

The Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said tackling the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is the biggest challenge for the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and other Paramilitary Forces, reports newstrackindia.com. Addressing the gathering at the 73rd Raising Day celebrations of the CRPF at its Academy at Kadarpur in Gurgaon of Haryana on November 1, Shinde said the CRPF has the challenge of assuring the safety of the villagers and tribals living in far-flung Maoist-infested areas. "Today, the biggest challenge before the Central Reserve Police Force is to tackle the spreading Maoist movements in the country and CRPF is already engaged in the operations. The Maoists have not just adopted the strategy of targeting security personnel but they are also attacking government buildings, schools, roads, power stations and telephone wires. This is the biggest challenge for the personnel that how successfully they can give a credible and trustworthy assurance to the people residing in far-flung areas of the country," said Shinde. He further said that they would have to formulate different policies top combat Maoist activities, insurgency and militancy in the country.

Pakistan based United Jihad Council (UJC - an alliance of Pakistan-based terrorist groups) ‘chairman’ and ‘supreme commander’ of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) Syed Salahuddin issued fresh threat to the elected panches (member of village level local self government institution called Panchayat) and sarpanches (head of Panchayat) asking them to either resign or face dire consequences, reports Indian Express on November 3. Salahuddin in an interview with a New Delhi based newspaper had on Friday said that panches and sarpanches in the state will continue to be targeted irrespective of the level of their security by government as Government of India was exploiting them to project Kashmir as “pro India’’. Shafiq Mir, chairman of All Jammu Kashmir Panchayat Conference – an umbrella organization representing nearly 33,000 panches and sarpanches, in reply to the threat said, “If he wants to execute nearly 33,000 panches and sarpanches who are unarmed and living without any security cover across the state, such an action will be nothing but cowardice.” He further said, "However, on our part, we will not resign under militants threat and we will continue to fight against state government for empowerment of Panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir.”

The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on November 3 filed a supplementary chargesheet in the special court against suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabihuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case, reports The Times of India. "The chargesheet names Jundal as the main conspirator along with co-accused Fayaz Kagzi," ATS Chief Rakesh Maria said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has learnt that Masthigudda Aboobacker, prime accused arrested on November 2, in Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racket, has links with terrorist organizations and has been funding them in northern parts of Kerala, as reported on November 4 by dajiworld.com.

The Times of India reports on November 3 that, the Kuki National Organisation (KNO), an umbrella organization of 16 Kuki outfits, threatened to resume armed struggle and secede from Manipur if the Centre did not begin talks with them which could be a hurdle in the ongoing peace talks between the Centre and Naga insurgent group, National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM). However, KNO leaders stressed they want a solution within the Constitution's framework. The seven-year-old Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement between the KNO and the Government of India ends in November 22. "If the government does not begin talks with us before November 22, we will be forced to take up arms. Does the Government of India want an armed rebellion?" said Seilen Haokip, KNO spokesperson in New Delhi. In 2005, KNO signed the SoO with the Centre leading to a ceasefire. Currently, KNO has about 2,000 armed cadres. The KNO is worried after talks between NSCN-IM and the Centre seem close to a settlement.

Terrorist outfits are investing in the Indian stock market through spurious companies, Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA), Sushil Kumar Shinde said at an Interpol General Assembly meeting in Rome (Italy) on November 5, reports Economic Times.

He further asked Interpol to play a crucial role in helping India to check this. "The utmost importance of detecting the sources of such finance including the fake currency variant, its conduits, modus-operandi and stanching its flow cannot be lost on us," Shinde also said. Shinde further suggested that Interpol should study the feasibility of having some mechanism for getting informal investigation related requests like those for subscriber details, IP addresses, executed expeditiously via the companies who have the information, according to The Times of India.

The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah on November 5 remarked that the revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from the State is a gradual process and that there is no deadlines set for this purpose, Kashmir Times reports. He observed, “I don’t set deadlines. It’s an ongoing discussion on which some forward movement is being made. Beyond that it won’t be appropriate to share any details. I had a very fruitful discussion on this subject during the recent visit of the Union Home Minister and as I’ve said – it’s work in progress.” Commenting upon the recent threats issued by Pakistan based United Jihad Council (UJC - an alliance of Pakistan-based terrorist groups) ‘chairman’ and ‘supreme commander’ of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) Syed Salahuddin he further added, “In terms of what Syed Salahuddin has said regarding Panchayati Raj (village level local self government institution) Institutions, unfortunately his own tune is changing. If I remember correctly after the first few phases of elections, he was the one who said -‘there will be no threat made to Panches (members of Panchayat) and Sarpanches (head of Panchayat) and that these elections can go ahead without any sort of threat.’ I do not know now why he has suddenly jumped on this bandwagon of issuing threats. As far as we’re concerned, we’ve geared up to deal with any eventuality.”

Investigations into the plan to attack Delhi during Deepawali (religious festival) by four Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists, arrested on October 11, 2012, by Delhi Police, have revealed that its 'moderator', identified as Raju Bhai, may be in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), The Times of India on November 6 reported. Raju Bhai operated from Uttar Pradesh (UP) and would travel to his Pul Prahladpur flat in NCR from there to meet the arrested quartet. He was using a UP mobile connection, Police said. About Raju Bhai, an unnamed source said, "He interacted with Asad and Imran in Urdu and would come to the Pul Prahladpur flat on a bike. He was asked to arrange logistics. We suspect he is still in Delhi-NCR. As those arrested don't know much about Raju Bhai, this could be his code name to execute the Delhi Diwali strike." The Pune attackers, Asad, Imran and Feroz had come to Delhi as an 'advance team' to arrange logistics for the blasts. During their interrogation, Police learnt that "several cadres of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and IM are hiding in Mumbai, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. LeT and IM are coordinating with associates of Fayaz Kagzi in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Several have entered India and are probably in Delhi."

The United Kingdom (UK), on November 6, lifted its nearly two-decade-old advisory to its nationals to avoid travelling to Srinagar, Jammu and Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and said this comes due to “improvements in the security situation” there, according to Daily Pioneer. UK High Commissioner to New Delhi Sir James Bevan in a letter to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said: “The improvement in the security situation has led us (the UK) to lift the advisory against UK citizens travelling to both the cities of Jammu and Srinagar and travel between these two cities on the Jammu-Srinagar highway.” “We advise against all travel to rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir other than Ladakh; all travel in the immediate vicinity of the border with Pakistan, other than at Wagah,” the advisory said. However, the advisory against travelling to the rest of the State was still in place, officials said. Germany and Japan are two other countries which have already lifted ban on its citizens to visit the state. However, countries like the US, Australia and New Zealand, however, still advise its citizens to refrain from visiting J&K despite repeated requests by the State Government to lift these restrictions. The travel advisories were issued after militancy gripped the State in 1989 and the abduction of six tourists by Al Faran, a mysterious terrorist outfit, near Pahalgam in July 1995. Out of the six, Norwegian Hans Ostro was beheaded and American John Chides managed to escape from the captivity of terrorists. Four tourists, including American Donald Fred Hutchings, British Paul Wells, Keith Mangan and German Dirk Hasert too had gone missing.

Police investigations in the recent seizure of foreign-made weapons, including the American M16 rifles and Pakistani cartridges, have revealed that the arms and ammunition are coming to the State through dealers in Bihar, reports The Times of India. All the weapons and ammunition recovered from Maoists in Palamu, Hazaribagh and Simdega reached the State via Bihar. Jharkhand Police spokesman, Inspector General of Police (IG), S N Pradhan said, these weapons were once used by militants active in Northeastern States, and with the violence now receding, the insurgents do not want to keep these weapons with them anymore. The militants are only keeping the most advanced weapons as they have no use of these arms anymore. Pradhan said that according to information with the Police, the rebels are buying these M16 rifles for around INR 150,000 to INR 200,000 per piece. Against this, an AK47 costs around INR 400,000 to INR 500,000.

We are open to a dialogue with the Naxals and would support the Centre in all its endeavours if it initiates any peace talks,” Singh said. “We are implementing a liberal surrender policy. We have said that if there is any initiative for talks, Chhattisgarh would not shy away from it. But the key issue is if you are inviting someone for talks, he has to have faith in democracy. One can’t sit in a dialogue by holding guns in his hand,” he added.

Swu, Muivah and S.S. Khaplang then formed the NSCN, rejecting the Shillong Accord. He spoke of the Pacific island of Niue and New Zealand. Nieu has its own flag, passport, national anthem, constitution and two currencies, whereas New Zealand exercises only the responsibility of external affairs and defence at the request of the Government of Niue. He has suggested a similar arrangement between the Centre and NSCN-IM currently engaged in the talks.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has opposed the Union Home Ministry’s proposal to induct tribal youths from 13 Districts that are worst affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE) to fight the rebels for seven years, reports The Indian Express on November 14.

In August, the UMHA had written to the CRPF asking for its views on the plan to create a new force comprising 3,000 constables called “scouts”, who would be recruited from the 13 worst affected Districts in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha.

They planned to set up a “Dalam” (guerilla squad) in Mananthavady after infiltrating the tribal populace.

Three months after Sabyasachi Panda was expelled from the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), five cadres of the Panda-led Odisha Maovadi Party (OMP), were killed and a few others were injured during an encounter in Gajapati District on November 14, reports The Times of India. Two Security Force (SF) personnel also sustained injuries in the encounter. The gun-battle took place at Bhaliagada forest in Gobindpur Panchayat area under Mohana Police Station limits of Gajapati District bordering Ganjam District around 11 am when a police patrolling party came across a Maoist camp where Panda and around 15 of his associates were present, police said. "The Maoists opened fire and our men retaliated likewise. The gun-battle continued for an hour. We have recovered five bodies (all male) from the spot," Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra said. "Their identities are yet to be ascertained, but we believe they were from Kandhamal and Gajapati Districts and indoctrinated in the Maoist ideology," he added. Police said the blood trail from spot of encounter to the jungle suggested that some of the extremists were injured. "We have seized an Italian-make pistol, which is supposed to be Panda's personal weapon. This forces us to suspect he was present during the gun-battle and could be injured as well," a senior Police officer said. Superintendent of Police (SP) (Ganjam) Ashish Singh said Police have seized four country-made guns, two 9 mm pistols, around 80 kg of explosives and 35 rounds of live cartridges from the spot. Commenting on the incident, DGP Mishra said "We have specific information that he (Panda) was for a big build-up. Reports say his group strength has increased to 27. He has been recruiting people to the group," adds The Business Standard. Further, according to Press Trust of India, another cadre was arrested following the encounter.

The deceased, Nikleswar Barman, succumbed to his injuries in hospital while the injured duo, Lankeswar Barman and Pratap Singh, is undergoing treatment with injuries on their legs.

NDFB-RD has however denied its involvement in the killing incidents of both Baksa and Sonitpur Districts. However, a source said the two incidents in Sonitpur and Baksa were carried out by a splinter group of NDFB, which has, so far, refused to join the peace process."NDFB-RD ‘chief of army’ IK Songbijit, who is based in Myanmar, heads this splinter group. He is under the complete influence of Paresh Baruah. It was Songbijit who withdrew from the unilateral ceasefire declared by Ranjan Daimary," the source said.

Central Crime Branch (CCB) Police arrested Sharavan Singh and Dalapath Singh from Chikpet in Bangalore city on November 16, on charges of dealing with Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN), reports bangaloremirror.com. The arrests have led CCB Police to the discovery that FICN worth about INR 10 millions have been released into the market every month. A senior officer commented, “The two would frequently go to Rajasthan, their home state, from where they would bring in the fake notes. They would buy goods from different shops and pay with fake currency……. However, their main business was to exchange fake currency for real ones. Through this, they have released crores into the market”. According to the Police, a gang in Rajasthan gets FICN from Pakistan and distributes it across India through carriers. These carriers and sellers in different cities may not even know the real source of FICN.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) politburo member Sushil Roy was granted bail by Jharkhand high court on November 21, reports The Times of India. The ailing rebel leader, who is in his mid-70s, was granted bail by the court of Justice SC Mishra. Police said though Roy was facing trial in various cases of violence, arson and murder in Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha, the state did not oppose his bail plea on humanitarian ground. There are 18 cases pending against him but he is very sick and recently underwent a surgery for cancer. Roy was arrested from Midnapore in West Bengal in May 21, 2005. However, R Roy would be out of jail only after he gets bail in another case, he added. Earlier, Roy's kin had met Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde around a fortnight ago, seeking amnesty on his behalf on account of his terminal illness and old age. Though Roy is charged with sedition, Shinde took a humanitarian view of the request and forwarded the matter to the Jharkhand government, suggesting that Roy be given relief from incarceration in what are probably his "last days".

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist from the November 26, 2008 (26/11) terror attack, was hanged to death at the Yerawada Prison in Pune (Maharashtra) at 7.30am on November 21 (today), reports The Times of India. Union Minister of Home Affairs Sushilkumar Shinde said, “Ajmal Kasab was hanged in Yerawada at 7:30 this morning. Pakistan has been informed but there is no demand for Kasab's body.” Kasab, who had been lodged in the Arthur Road Prison in Pune ever since he was arrested immediately after the attack in 2008, was convicted and given capital punishment by the trial court on May 6, 2010, which was upheld by the Bombay High Court on February 21, 2011. The Supreme Court subsequently upheld the sentence on August 29, 2012. Kasab then filed the mercy petition. The Union Home Ministry recommended rejection of Kasab's mercy petition on October 16, 2012, and forwarded the same to President Pranab Mukherjee. Mukherjee sent back the file, accepting the advice, on November 5, 2012. "I was out of the country then for the Interpol meet in Rome. I returned on November 7 and found the file on my table. I signed and sent it to Maharashtra Government on November 8," said Shinde. Kasab was shifted to Yerawada jail two days back. Kasab and nine other Pakistani terrorists had landed in south Mumbai on November 26, 2008, after travelling from Karachi (Pakistan) by sea and had gone on a shooting spree at various landmarks, killing 166 people, including foreigners. Police had succeeded in capturing Kasab alive after killing the remaining nine terrorists. In January 2010, nine of Kasab's associates were buried at an undisclosed location near Mumbai. The President [Pranab Mukherjee] had rejected Kasab's mercy plea on November 5. I signed it on the 6th and the Maharashtra Government signed it on the 8th. The same day, we decided that he will be hanged on the 21st…

Two and a half years after the Jnaneswari Express tragedy, superfast trains will once again ply at their normal speed between Kharagpur and Rourkela on the Howrah-Mumbai mainline at night, bringing down travelling time by 45 minutes on the stretch, reports The Telegraph. After the CPI-Maoist sabotage of May 28, 2010 left 150 passengers of Jnaneshwari Express dead near Jhargram in Bengal, the railway authorities banned night movement of passenger trains on the 280km Kharagpur-Rourkela section. The ban was lifted in phases and night movement of all passenger trains restarted in January 2012 but with a rider — superfast trains had to adhere to a 75kmph speed limit instead of their normal speed of 110-120kmph. Speaking to The Telegraph on November 21, superintendent of railway police (Tatanagar) Mritunjay Ranjan said the speed of the trains will first be increased to 90kmph in the first phase, and then to 110-120kmph in the second phase. The first phase will take effect in a month’s time. “We studied the pros and cons and submitted our response. The speed limit of trains is being increased in the backdrop of an improvement in the Naxalite situation on this stretch,” he said.

All Party Hurriyat Conference – Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik on November 22, warned that the possible execution of Mohammed Afzal aka Afzal Guru could have serious repercussions, reports Kashmir Times. Afzal Guru is a convict in the December 13, 2001 Parliament attack case and has been sentenced to death by the court. His mercy petition is pending before the President of India. Geelani said that Guru was denied fair trail and was falsely implicated in the case. Yasin Malik was quoted saying, “In 2008 Kashmiris transformed from violence to non-violence and showed the whole world that they were a peaceful nation. If any wrong decision to hang Afzal Guru is taken, it will cast a serious dent in this process of positive transformation and a new era of violence may start which will endanger and jeopardise peace, stability and prosperity of not only Kashmir, but the whole sub continent,” Earlier the two main national parties, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress (INC), had demanded for Guru’s early execution.

Commenting on the movement of the Security Forces (SFs) in the region, an officer said “Four companies of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have moved into Mohna Block of Gajapati District of Odisha and six more into Kandhamal and Ganjam Districts in several phases. Besides, one full battalion is placed in Nuapara District bordering Chhattisgarh.” Each company was being accompanied by two or three platoons of the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Odisha. Estimates suggest that no fewer than 2500 security personnel are involved in the operation. “We have clear orders to get him (Panda) arrested or ensure his surrender,” said the officer. However, a senior CRPF official said the operation adjacent to the Chhattisgarh border “may not be for Panda.” “The operations in the hinterland (Kandhamal, Ganjam and Gajapati) are for Panda. In all probability, the Nuapara operation is an ongoing one to locate Chhattisgarh’s (Maoist) groups,” the officer told.

Mittal, said: “The nature of grave prosecution lapses, in regard to various issues such as lack of proof connecting some of the accused with the bomb incident, failure to hold TIP [Test Identification Parade] of articles and the accused, … [and] not recording the statements of vital witnesses…. underline not only its lapses and inefficiencies, but also throw up a question mark as to the nature and truthfulness of the evidence produced.”

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) politburo member and hardline strategist Katakam Sudarshan alias Anand, who carries a reward of INR 1.2 million on his head, is poised to replace Koteswara Rao alias Kishanji as the supreme leader of the Maoists in West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha, reports Hindustan Times. Kishanji was killed by Security Forces (SFs) in a gunfight on November 24, 2011. “We have information that Anand, who is a politburo member and among the senior leaders of the party is replacing or has replaced Kishenji. He would be or is heading the eastern regional bureau of the CPI(Maoist). We have alerted our forces who are keeping a strict vigil,” said a home department official. Sudarshan is known for his ability to draw up strategies in both the political and military spheres of action and mostly works at the planning stage. Sudarshan, who hails from Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh, is an engineer by training. He joined the Maoist fold in the 1980s. The Police describe him as “a soft spoken stocky man around 5ft 2inches tall with a dark complexion”. SFs suspect that Sudarshan planned the massacre of 75 CRPF personnel in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh on April 6, 2010.

Pakistan troopers resorted to heaviest firing of the year in almost entire Krishna Ghati sector (Poonch District) along Line of Control (LoC) on the nights of November 25, and November 26, as the Cease-fire Agreement (CFA) along LoC and International Border (IB) between India and Pakistan completed nine years, reports Daily Excelsior. Pakistan troopers fired more than 6,000 rounds including 5,000 from heavy machine guns which were reportedly aimed at expressing displeasure against the Pakistan’s leadership. The ceasefire came into force on November 26, 2003, reducing mounting tensions between the two states in the wake of attack on Indian Parliament (December 13, 2001) after which India had deployed heavy troops along the India-Pakistan border. Sources said that it was for the first time in 2012, during nine years truce, that Pakistani Rangers directly targeted civilians on the Indian side. No casualties or damages were reported on the Indian side of the border, however, due to the firing, forests in Krishna Ghati caught fire, which was controlled by locals and Army personnel.
