The ULFA ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa, in a statement on January 1, ruled out holding direct peace talks with New Delhi unless the Government released some of their senior jailed leaders. He said, "A large number of our central executive committee leaders are currently in jail. We cannot take a final decision on holding talks with the government in the absence of majority of our senior leaders who are imprisoned." He further said, "The government has slowed down on its initiative to start peace negotiations and instead stepped up military action against our cadres. It would be wrong on the part of New Delhi to presume that we would sit tight and join the peace talks if such actions continue."

Police neutralised one of the biggest training camps of the Maoists in the Saranda forest area after a major operation, which lasted for 72 hours, according to Statesman. A joint team of the Central Reserve Police Force, Jharkhand Armed Police and officers from eight police stations and special force personnel from Ranchi and neighbouring Chaibasa had raided a remote corner of the forest area late on December 31, 2005 close to the Kayangdera village of Sonuwa police station area of West Singhbhum district and the Rania police station borders of Ranchi district. However, during a brief exchange of gunfire, the Maoists managed to escape. Documents seized from the training camp suggested that Maoists were planning a major attack either on the Khunti sub-jail or on the Simdega jail on the lines of Jehanabad attack. Huge quantities of food, blankets, folding chairs, tables, tents, generator sets and other articles of daily use were seized from the camp. Superintendent of Police, Navin Kumar Singh, added that Maoists had erected watch towers on tree tops at regular intervals to keep a close watch on any movement close to the training camp, while at the same time had planned an attack on seven neighbouring police stations to loot arms and ammunition.

Following the 19th meeting of the Coordination Committee on Naxalite violence on January 13 at New Delhi, Union Home Secretary V.K. Duggal said "the level of incidents have gone up by four per cent in 2005. I don’t want to go into the reasons but the challenge in 2006 will be to contain it with an integrated approach." Among the measures decided at the meeting included creation of dedicated intelligence units in seven of the worst affected states, raising 10 more police battalions, inducting an additional 45 armoured vehicles and strengthening police stations. "As a first step to strengthen our fight against the armed rebels, there will be a separate Maoist division in the home ministry that will coordinate activities," Duggal said. Emphasising on land reforms, he said, "it has to be an integrated approach and that is why officials in the ministries for rural development, tribal affairs and panchayati raj were roped in to find out if developmental programmes on the ground are up and running." In addition to the 25 battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) that have been specially trained for combating Maoists, another 10 battalions will be raised over the next two years at a cost of Rs 250 million. The Home Secretary added that a State like Haryana cannot be complacent from being affected by the Naxalites as, it was one of the states, including Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, where Naxalites were trying to mark their presence. He further said that during the current year six States - Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and (eastern parts of) Maharashtra - will have dedicated intelligence wings to keep a tab on the Naxalites activities.

Ruling out the de-militarisation of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) as suggested by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, the Indian Army chief General J. J.

On January 16, the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), in a statement by 'publicity secretary' of the outfit Sainkupar Nongtraw, expressed doubts over the seriousness of the Meghalaya Government in dealing with the issue of illegal migrants. It said that the action of the State police in flushing out illegal immigrants as published in newspapers was "an eyewash" and a "fashion show". The statement further said: "If the State and the Central governments had the responsibility to flush out immigrants who have illegally entered the State, why they took 34 years to initiate measures. May be it is the government which has provided them with land, houses, jobs and at the same time recognised them as the legal immigrants settled in Umpling, Pynthor, Mawprem and other localities of Shillong".

Statesman reports that the January 16 bandh (shutdown) call given by Maoist zonal committee of Midnapore West, Bankura and Purulia was total in the Belphari, Binpur and Lalgarh areas with buses being off the roads and attendance in State Government offices being thin. While schools and colleges in the area were asked to be closed, shops and markets also kept their shutters down. The bandh was partial in Nayagram, Jamboni and Gopiballavpur. However, train services were normal. The bandh was called to protest against the police firing at Kalinga Nagar in Orissa on January 2, which resulted in the death of 12 tribals, and also against the eviction of farmers in South 24-Parganas. The Maoist bandh passed off peacefully in Bankura and Purulia districts. In Purulia, where the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha had extended its support to the Maoist call, police seized Maoist posters from Puncha. In Khatra sub-division, public transport came to a halt.

Two Pakistani Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists and three others were on January 18 sentenced to ten years rigorous imprisonment by a Delhi court in connection with a series of bomb blasts in various north Indian cities in 1997 that killed 17 persons and injured nearly 300 others.

It was a direct threat to the normal functioning of the Government and amounts to destabilising the society", Additional Sessions Judge Rajiv Mehra said in the order. The LeT terrorists, Ajaz Mohammad and Mohammad Hussain were found guilty of conspiring to wage war against the country along with Aamir Khan, Mohammad Shakil and Abdul Baqi for planning 37 blasts in Delhi, Panipat, Sonepat, Ludhiana, Kanpur and Varanasi on different days in 1997.

The Patna High Court on January 30 suggested to the Central Government to consider opening of a special cell in its home ministry and giving the charge of this cell to a minister of state for tackling the Maoist problem in Bihar, according to Times of India. A division bench comprising Chief Justice J. N. Bhatt and Justice R. N. Prasad also felt that the Centre should give a special status to Bihar for providing resources and should monitor the security measures for checking the Maoist problem. The judges maintained this can be done in the case of Bihar as has already done in the cases of Jammu and Kashmir, some North-Eastern states and Andhra Pradesh for checking terrorism. The court made the observation while hearing an Public Interest Litigation of People's Watch filed by its convener and lawyer Arvind Kumar.
