An activist of the Sunni Tehrik, a Karachi based politico-terrorist outfit and three Afghan nationals were killed, and three others injured in two separate incidents of firing in Karachi on November 1. In the first incident, one person was killed and another wounded in the morning, while in the other, three were killed and two wounded in the evening. Police sources claimed that it was an act of terrorism traced to the ongoing violent sectarian rivalry in various parts of Pakistan. They added that irate youths, mostly Afghans, following the incident took to the streets and also indiscriminately fired in the air with their illegal weapons, blocked roads and forced shopkeepers to pull down shutters.

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Altaf (MQM-A) chief Altaf Hussain in a press release issued on November 1 from London has voluntarily offered to surrender the party leadership and also invited the views of the people in this regard. He made this offer with a condition that if he surrendered, the Pakistani army should stop the suppression of Mohajirs. He stated that for the cause of 'oppressed' people, he was ready to accept any other leader for the party and is ready to continue as a worker for the struggle for the rights of Mohajirs. In a disclosure, Altaf Hussain said that, after the commencement of the army operation to deal with the violence in Sindh on June 19, 1992, the army offered that if he announced to step down from the leadership then they would not only end the operation against the Mohajirs but also release all the detainees. He said that on the assurances that the legitimate demands of the Mohajirs would be fulfilled, he had announced his retirement from politics. However, as the Pakistani authorities failed to honour their commitment and on the demand of the Mohajirs and the party workers, he once again took charge of the leadership, he added. He stated that in the aftermath of the facts unravelled by him, the Pakistani government has begun levelling charges of sedition against him in an attempt to foster the perception that the cause for their sufferings was his leadership. Meanwhile, the first secretary at the Deputy-High Commission of the United Kingdom, visited Nine-Zero, the headquarters of the MQM-A in London on November 1 and discussed the present political situation in the country particularly Karachi and also heard the grievances of the MQM-A.

Referring to Pakistan’s support to the Taliban, U.S Under-Secretary of State Thomas Pickering said in an interview to the Voice of America that Pakistan should decide about supporting a regime which is sheltering terrorists and at the same time also refusing to have a dialogue on peace. He said that "we and Russians have received information that Pakistan is indulging in direct military interference in Afghanistan. On this we discussed this issue with Pakistan and Islamabad is strongly rejecting these claims but we think that these are correct," Meanwhile, the United States has offered $10 million to Pakistan and some Middle Eastern countries to combat international terrorism. A western diplomat said that the US has sympathized with the Pakistan government over the recent wave of sectarian violence and subversion in the country.

Official sources in Pakistan have claimed that Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), the external intelligence agency of India, Afghanistan's anti-Taliban Northern Alliance and an unnamed ethnic group were responsible for the Rawalpindi blast on November 2, which left at least 18 people injured. Contrary to police statements, these sources added that the News Bureau of Investigations (NBI) had provided an intelligence alert about possible terrorist attacks and a possible subversion plan by the agents of R&AW, the Northern Alliance and the ethnic group. Sources also added that an inquiry has already been ordered to ascertain as to why the Pindi blast could not be pre-empted despite receiving advance warnings. Authorities also claimed that the R&AW had infiltrated a Karachi-based ethnic organisation. Asked as to why the Northern Alliance of Afghanistan was colluding with R&AW and other anti-Pakistan forces, diplomatic sources said that the US and the Northern Alliance were not happy with Islamabad's alleged support to the ruling Taliban.

Muttahida Quami Movement-Altaf (MQM-A) chief Altaf Hussain said the outfit had no soft corner for India. In an interview to a Pakistani weekly The Friday Times, he pointed out that the MQM-A did not intend to get anything from India. According to him the outfit was only concerned about Indian Muslims. Altaf also reiterated that it is not their aim to destroy Pakistan. He believed that a democratic Pakistan would be able to resolve its problems with India. Altaf Hussain called for a new Pakistani constitution in line with the 1940 Lahore resolution that would guarantee equal representation to all ethnic nationalities - Sindhi, Baloch, Pashtun, Seraiki and Mohajir - and ensure provincial autonomy. On the issue of links with the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), the external intelligence agency of India, Altaf opined that, "one the one hand we are accused of being the children of the ISI, on the other hand we are blamed for being R&AW agents! One of the two accusations has got to be wrong". He also claimed that since 1992, approximately 15,000 MQM-A activists have been killed by the Pakistani security personnel.

The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen has said that the Kashmir issue must be the main topic of discussion at the forthcoming November 12-Organisation of Isalmic Conference (OIC) summit. Addressing a press conference on November 9, the Hizb chief Syed Salahuddin urged Islamic countries to cut diplomatic and economic ties with and added the OIC must impose economic sanctions on India and cut off diplomatic ties to force New Delhi to settle the Kashmir issue in accordance with the United Nations resolutions. He pointed out that the Kashmir issue is a nuclear flash-point in South Asia. The Hizb chief claimed that India was getting assistance from Israel. He also added that the solution to the Kashmir issue could only be found when India agreed to hold tripartite talks with Pakistan and the Kashmiris. He indicated that the Hizb would continue its operations until India entered into tripartite talks.

A news report by Press Trust of India on November 12 said that Pakistani newspapers have reported an intense clash between a faction of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and its parent outfit, the Jamaat-e-Islamia (JI), for control over several training camps in Pakistan controlled Kashmir. Several persons, including a prominent Hizb 'commander', were reported to have been killed in these clashes. These clashes are reported to be an offshoot of attempts by the JI to wrest control over the Hizb, an attempt being resisted by a Hizb 'commander', Sarfaraz. The latter is reported to be supported by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and another terrorist outfit, the Al-Badr.

The Harkat-ul-Mujahideen has rejected the Indian cease-fire offer announced on November 19. In a statement released from Muzaffarabad, Pakistan Controlled Kashmir, a spokesman of the outfit said, "The offer by the Indian Prime Minister is an eyewash and we reject it outright". The Harkat spokesman said had India been sincere to resolve the issue of Kashmir peacefully, it would have positively responded to the cease-fire offer made by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in July 2000. He also said that the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen would accelerate its activities against the Indian security forces during the month of Ramzan under its "Ramzan Operation". He pointed that the Harkat would target Indian troops, even if they did not attack them.

An umbrella organisation of 14 terrorist outfits, the United Jehad Council (UJC), while rejecting the Indian cease-fire offer, has questioned the utility of the cease-fire only for the month of Ramadan. The UJC chairman Syed Salahuddin, who is also the chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, said in a statement that it was "an excuse to kill time." He also warned that the Kashmir issue could push Pakistan and India to a nuclear war. As reported earlier, the Hizb had declared a three-month unilateral cease-fire on July 24, 2000 and later withdrew it prematurely on August 8, 2000 after insisting that Pakistan be involved in the talks on Kashmir issue. The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen has indicated that the outfit would react 'positively' to the short-term cease-fire announcement by New Delhi, provided India recognises Kashmir as a 'dispute' and agrees to tripartite negotiations for its solution. This was stated by a Hizb spokesperson on November 20. The Hizb chief Syed Salahuddin was quoted by the spokesman as saying, "the short term cease-fire call has come from India this time, but, if it is an announcement for the sake of scoring political points and does not carry sincere meanings, we would not give it any consideration". In its response to the Indian cease-fire offer, the Al Badr said that the announcement was one more attempt to 'misguide' world opinion. While rejecting the Indian offer, it also announced that the outfit would continue its operation against the Indian security forces. It also announced that it was launching an operation named Gazwa-e-Badar during the month of Ramadan. The Lashkar-e-Toiba while rejecting the cease-fire offer said that it would continue its terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir. A spokesman of the outfit said that the Indian security forces should be withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir if India "is sincere" in solving the Kashmir issue. Meanwhile, the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has welcomed the cease-fire offer. The APHC Chairman Abdul Ghani Lone, currently in Pakistan, said that the 'Mujahideen' outfits should accept the offer because there are dangers in rejecting it. Speaking to news agencies on November 20, he pointed out that, "If they reject it, then India can use it to their advantage and tell the international community that the groups are not ready." Speaking in Srinagar, India, on November 20, former chairman of the All Party Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Maulvi Omar Farooq described the ceasefire as a "positive step" but said it was not a major step towards ending the crisis in Kashmir. A Hurriyat spokesman said that the group is to meet on November 21 and formulate its response to the cease-fire offer. However, another Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Shah Gilani said that a temporary cease-fire was not a solution to the Kashmir issue.

Pakistan has said that the Indian cease-fire offer announced on November 19 was a short-term tactic. This was stated by a Foreign Office spokesperson on November 20. The spokesman also pointed that India was attempting to impose a military solution to the Kashmir issue. The Foreign Office has alleged that India had tried to exploit an offer of cease-fire by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, announced in July 2000, to divide the terrorists. The spokesperson also said that India was trying to exclude Pakistan from any negotiations for a solution of the Kashmir issue. Asked to comment on the Indian response, the spokesman said "it was predictable as New Delhi has so far consistently rejected all efforts for a negotiated, just and durable solution of the Kashmir dispute". Commenting on whether Pakistan would show any flexibility in its stand on the issue, the spokesman said the parameters for a just solution of the Kashmir dispute were clear and categorical.

Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar called upon India, on November 21, to withdraw its security forces from Jammu and Kashmir, as a few weeks of cease-fire would not solve the long-standing Kashmir issue. Sattar added, the Kashmir issue could not be solved through a cease-fire. Meanwhile, the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) said that the Indian cease-fire offer on the eve of Ramzan was only a deception. The chief of the JI, Qazi Hussain, on November 21 asked Pakistan-based terrorist outfits "to see through this deception of the Indian rulers". He added that efforts for a peaceful settlement to the Kashmir issue would not bear any results unless India made serious efforts to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions after recognizing Kashmir as a 'disputed issue'. The Premier of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Sultan Mohammed Chaudhry, separately called upon India to hold tripartite talks for a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue. He said this on November 21 in Muzaffarabad. Another terrorist group, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has asked the various terrorist outfits not to 'depend' on the United Nations (UN) for a solution to the Kashmir issue. The chief of the LeT, Mohammed Syed indicated this in Hafizabad on November 20. He also added that the UN has failed in its attempts to find a solution to the Kashmir issue. In a cautious response, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) indicated that not much must be expected from the Indian cease-fire offer. The Pakistani daily Dawn quoting Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Gilani after a special meeting of the group said that durable peace and not a cease-fire is the solution to the Kashmir issue.

In an interview to an Indian newspaper, Times of India, Pakistan Foreign Minister Abdus Sattar admitted that his country has a duty to stop militants from crossing the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir. In the interview, published on November 24, the Foreign Minister added that his government was prepared to stand by the July 4, 1999-Washington Statement signed by the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and US President Bill Clinton. This is the first time that the Musharraf regime in Pakistan has accepted the validity of the Washington Statement. Abdus Sattar said, "Pakistan, having agreed to the (Washington) statement has an obligation to comply with it''. Asked specifically whether "respecting the sanctity of the LoC'' (a clause in the Statement) meant that Pakistan was obliged to prevent armed individuals from making unauthorised crossings, he replied: "Yes, I think that's a fair assumption.'' The Foreign Minister rejected the suggestion that Pakistan has not done enough to stop crossings. He said that the two countries "have an obligation but India, which has some 700,000 troops in Kashmir, is surely in a better position to prevent LoC crossings than the 50,000 troops Pakistan has on its side of the line. We do what we can within the limits of our means and India should see that its capacity... to ensure observance of the LoC (is much greater).'' When told by the interviewer, that the leader of a prominent terrorist group based in Pakistan had admitted, off the record, that he had planned the August 8, 2000-car bombing in Srinagar in which several civilians, including a photo journalist, were killed, the Foreign Minister claimed this was the first he has heard of this. "If (this man) were to admit this publicly and proof... (is) given to us by the (Indian) authorities... then, on the basis of that, subject to understanding between the two countries, trials can take place," he added.

A Pakistani weekly, The Friday Times reported that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking the assistance of Pakistani authorities in arresting the hijackers of the Indian Airlines flight IC 814. The FBI had to register a case since one of the 167 passengers on board was a US national. IC 814 was hijacked on December 24, 1999, after it left Kathmandu airport, Nepal. The hijack concluded on December 31, 1999. The news report quoting FBI sources pointed that after helping the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) in investigating the hijacking of IC 814, the FBI has finally registered a case in the matter. The sources also added that the FBI is convinced that IC 814 was hijacked by some Kashmiri terrorists.

According to a Kashmiri leader who spoke to Pakistani daily Dawn on conditions of anonymity, Kashmiri leaders from both sides of the Line of Control held their first formal meeting in Islamabad on November 25 and discussed the Kashmir dispute, mainly focusing on the Indian Prime Minister's cease-fire offer. The source added that the session remained inconclusive and another detailed meeting is scheduled to be held on November 28. The meeting was held at the temporary residence of Abdul Ghani Lone, chief of the Jammu and Kashmir People's Conference. The participants refused to talk to the waiting journalists at the venue of the meeting. Another participant of the meeting is reported to have said that Mr Lone and Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan controlled Kashmir, addressed the meeting and supported the Indian Prime Minister's cease-fire offer. The meeting was reportedly inconclusive because Mr Lone had to meet Pakistan's Chief Executive Pervez Musharraf. Besides Mr Lone and Mr Qayyum, the meeting was attended by Amanullah Khan, Gen. Hayat Khan (retired), Abdur Rashid Turabi, Sardar Khalid Ibrahim, Majeed Malik, Maulana Ghulam Nabi Nowsherhri, Dr Farooq Haider, Farooq Rehmani, Sheikh Tajjamul Islam, Ali Mohammad Sheikh, Syed Yousaf Nasim, Ghulam Mohammad Safi, Mohammad Siddique Gahnau, Altaf Qadri, Ashraf Saraf, Mir Tahir Masood and Faiz Naqshbandi.

He denied the role of terrorist outfits in these incidents claiming that they do not target the civilian population. The statement added that the Indian Prime Minister's offer of cease-fire during the month of Ramadan was a fraud and was meant to provide rest to Indian security forces. The statement said that 'jehadi' organisations (terrorist outfits) would not be deceived by such offers and were determined to continue their struggle till the 'liberation' of Jammu and Kashmir. Hafiz Saeed, in his statement also said that if Prime Minister Vajpayee was sincere in his offer he should withdraw his troops from the State and stop atrocities on innocent people of the Valley.
