The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen said that India's refusal to include Pakistan in the talks on the Kashmir issue endorsed its stand that the cease-fire offer is short of sincerity. Stating this in an interview to the Voice of America, Hizb chief Salahuddin said, "As a matter of fact the Indian rulers shirk heart from adopting realistic stand for the settlement of Kashmir problem. The stand adopted by India that it would not include Pakistan in the talks on Kashmir demonstration that India is not ready to find out durable settlement of Kashmir problem". On the proposal that the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) should first hold talks with the Indian leadership, Salahuddin replied, "If the APHC people hold talks with the Indian leadership and then hold talks with the Pakistani leadership and if a consensus develops, there is no harm in such talks. The main issue is trilateral. In case any party is ignored it would not yield positive results and the problem will remain intact".

A sub-divisional police officer, Tariq Kamboh, who was promoted to the rank in recognition of his work against sectarian organizations, was killed along with his driver in a terrorist attack on a canal bridge near Wafaqi Colony, Johar Town, on December 16. He was ambushed by two terrorists when his car stopped at an extremely busy bridge in the city. The slain officer was involved in the arrest of terrorists involved in the 1998 Mominpura massacre and the 1999 bomb blast in Raiwind, reportedly aimed at killing former Premier Nawaz Sharif. Senior administration and police officials of Punjab province suspect that sectarian terrorists were involved in the killings. One senior police officer claimed that the attack had been carried out by Laskhar-e-Jhangvi. The slain officer had been accused by the Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan and its terrorist splinter outfit, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, for maltreating and killing members of the two outfits. News reports indicated that the officer had figured in their hit list for the last couple of years. The Punjab Home Secretary said that while the apparent "…motive behind the attack is sect-related. Investigation would also be conducted into other probable motives." He added that Tariq was murdered by a sectarian militant group for tracing its network. He said security of the other police officials who were on the hit list of sectarian terrorists and other outlaws had been increased.

He said that the murder was a target killing incident and had taken place because of the slain officer's own negligence who did not take his security guards with him at the time of incident. Replying to a question, he said that the police would work on the possibility that some insider had leaked the information that Tariq was going without guards. He added that some suspected terrorists had been arrested and would be produced before press within a few days.

Speaking to newspersons at a Lahore party on December 16, the chief of Markaaz-ud-Dawa-wal-Irshad, the parent outfit of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Hafiz Muhammad Saeed urged the Pakistan government not to accept what he described as Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee's offer for talks. He claimed that doing so would be a blunder and deal a serious blow to the terrorist movement in Jammu and Kashmir. A news report cited him as saying that "…the Jehad should be continued according to Quranic injunctions till the time the enemy was rendered completely helpless". Hafiz Saeed, who is also the amir of the LeT, alleged that the government was changing its stance on the Kashmir issue to please the United States. He added the government should not succumb to foreign pressure on the question of Jehad only to get loans. He also said that foreign pressure could force Pakistan to accept the Line of Control as an international border. He urged the media to be watchful and not allow the rulers to do so. The Lashkar amir opined that economic conditions should not be given extra importance nor should they be an impediment in the way of Jehad.

In an interview to the Pakistani daily Dawn, published on December 17, former Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Shah Gilani said that the alliance might split because of conflicting positions taken by its senior members on the Indian Prime Minister's cease-fire offer and New Delhi's indication that peace talks with the Hurriyat leaders were possible. He added that "Cease-fire is not the real issue. Peace is not the real issue. The real issue is solving the festering problem of Kashmir," claiming that "Peace will come naturally and it will be the only real durable peace when the issue of Kashmir is settled once and for all." He also criticised a suggestion by some Hurriyat leaders, including Abdul Gani Lone, that Mujahideen groups should work under the political leadership of Kashmir and that they should not dictate terms to it. He asserted that terrorists operating in the state "must be given good reasons to trust the political leadership. Only then will they be able to follow the leadership". Commenting on Pakistan's role in the dispute, he claimed that the country "…has supported the cause of Kashmir. But it has not always been able to sort out its friends from the foe. There are people (in Hurriyat) who need Pakistan more than they love Pakistan. I am some one who loves Pakistan first." He also said that he had he had given Hurriyat chairman Prof. Butt four points of basic principles that should govern Sunday's proceedings: Talks within the Indian constitution should be shunned; the Line of Control should not be accepted as a permanent border; any talk of accepting internal autonomy that may be offered by India should be rejected, and Hurriyat should reject any overtures by India to dissolve the state assembly in Jammu and Kashmir aimed at giving a chance to Hurriyat leaders to seek a role in power-sharing under the Indian rule.

Jama'at-e-Islami leader Syed Ali Shah Gilani urged, in Karachi on December 17, the members of various Mujahideen factions to decide if they wanted to strengthen the religious people in Jammu and Kashmir or the secular minded. Gilani was addressing a conference organised by the Pakistan chapter of Al-Badr Mujahideen. Gilani said, ‘ The recent Indian gesture to allure both Pakistan and the All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) for talks was to exploit secular forces of the held Kashmir so that the power could remain in its favourite hands.’ He added, "The cease-fire can be accepted if it is a step towards chalking out permanent solution to the outstanding problem of independence," and pointed that no solution except the liberation of Kashmir would be accepted.

He added that his outfit would not accept any solution to the issue, imposed on the Kashmiris against their will, nor "would it accept the division of the motherland". He also demanded that Pakistan recognise "the Kashmiris' right to act for reunification and complete independence of the divided state". Maintaining that neither the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) nor the National Conference could be termed as the sole representative of the Kashmiri people, he asked for inclusion of the JKLF in the proposed peace talks on Kashmir. He also demanded that India should publicly recognise the Kashmir issue, release all terrorists from prison and facilitate an intra-Kashmir dialogue to evolve a consensus formula towards resolving the issue.

Against the backdrop of intelligence reports fearing a series of terrorist attacks, Pakistan has decided to make an official request with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan to hand over 23 terrorists currently operating from Afghanistan and involved in sectarian killings in Pakistan. Official sources said Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider is expected to travel to Afghanistan in the first week of January 2001 for talks with the Taliban. The Taliban has so far rejected the demand. The names of the 23 sectarian terrorists had already been communicated to the Taliban around six months ago. The decision to request the extradition of these terrorists came after police and intelligence reports informed the government that the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, including its chief Riaz Basra, had set up base in Afghanistan.

The chief of the Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen and the Mutahida Jehad Council secretary-general Shaikh Jamil-ur-Rahman said at a press conference, in Lahore, on December 19 that jehad would continue till the withdrawal of Indian security forces from Jammu and Kashmir, implementation of UN resolutions and payment of war damages by India. He said that the terrorist outfits differed with the political leaders of Jammu and Kashmir in that the latter tackled the problem as a traditional political issue, while they considered it as jehad. He termed the cease-fire as a conspiracy devised by the US and India. He said the terrorist outfits would not accept a political or ethnic solution to the Kashmir issue. According to him, the terrorist outfits "wanted Kashmir to be a part of Pakistan where Islam is enforced in its true spirit". He also added, "If the jehad was continued, India would be forced to demand a safe passage for its troops". Shaikh Jamil said, "The chief executive should give a call for jehad instead of considering the talks offer".

The Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), on December 21, rejected India's extended cease-fire offer in Jammu and Kashmir. Harkat chief Maulana Farooq Kashmiri stated in Muzaffarabad, "It is a political gimmick and the Mujahideen have nothing to do with it". Commenting on the partial troop-withdrawal of Pakistan, he said, "The Pakistani Army is not fighting along with the Mujahideen in the held territory. Therefore its withdrawal is not going to change our struggle". The Harkat chief also asked India to release the terrorists detained in prisons and also withdraw its troops from Jammu and Kashmir. The Maulana declared that even if negotiations began, his outfit would not stop its operations, because it believes that the 'goal of freedom can only be achieved through Jihad.'
