According to official sources, the government has decided to deploy surrendered left-wing extremists, Naxalites, to protect police personnel and election officials during the Panchayat polls scheduled for July 12 and 15. The surrendered Naxalites have reportedly been asked to report to police stations in their areas regularly. According to sources, over 500 former Naxals will be used in Korutla, Raikal, Metpally, Ibrahimpatnam and Mallapur mandals of Karimnagar alone. One of the reasons of deploying former Naxalites for election duties is their thorough understanding of the routes in the countryside. They are also sensitive to landmines. Therefore, they would be asked to carry ballot boxes and other poll material to the polling stations in the hinterland, besides guarding poll personnel and the police.

The Indian Prime Minister’s opening statement added that even as there were vast differences between the two countries, India, was willing to "address these differences and to move forward". However, the statement asserted India’s resolve to firmly tackle terrorism and violence in Jammu and Kashmir, which, was being promoted from across its borders. "Let no one think that India does not have the resolve, strength or stamina to continue resisting terrorism and violence," the Pime Minister warned. The statement dealt with six specific issues, including Pakistan’s shelter to terrorists and criminals who were involved in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. The Pakistan President was also urged to arrest and hand over the hijackers of the Indian Airlines plane IC 814, hijacked in December 1999. "They have to be brought to justice," the Prime Minister added.

While rejecting the India-Pakistan Summit, Al-Badr Chief Bakht Zamin, in a statement from Peshawar, said his outfit would not accept any cease-fire agreement between President Gen.

We will again reject any understanding reached between Musharraf and Vajpayee during the summit." While indicating that the terrorist outfits have conveyed their stand on the Summit to the Pakistani President, he added that dialogue between India and Pakistan would never resolve the Kashmir issue, as the former is "not sincere in the process." Commenting on the options regarding the solution to the Kashmir issue, he said "There is only one solution to the Kashmir issue and that is complete freedom for the people of the valley". Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Amanullah Khan described the breakdown of the talks as "catastrophic" and said it would take a long time for both the leaders to create the same atmosphere again.

Speaking in the West Bengal State Legislative Assembly on July 19, Chief Minister (CM) Buddhadev Bhattacharjee said North Bengal and the Indo-Bangladesh border are two major areas of concern for his government. He said the Kamtapuri Liberation Organisation (KLO) was receiving arms training from the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), and if they joined with the Maoists in Nepal, it could become a deadly situation. He went on to say that the porous borders with Nepal and Bangladesh were being used by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), which has been trying to destabilise the peaceful environment through activities such as supporting separatist and anti-national forces, circulating fake currency and resorting to subversive activities. Other problem areas included, the CM said, the activities of the Naxalite groups –– the People's War Group (PWG) and the Maoist Communist Centre(MCC) –– in Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia.

Carol Bellamy, Director General of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), on July 20, criticised the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for not keeping with its 1998 promise of non recruitment of child soldiers. She said, the Tamil separatist conflict continued to cause ‘immense suffering and violations of children’s rights’. The LTTE, during the May 1998 visit of the UN Secretary General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Olara Otunnu, had committed that it would not recruit children below the age of 17 years and that no one below 18 years would be deployed as combatants. However, reports suggest that the terrorist organisation has used children, in some cases below 12 years, in its separatist campaign.

President Chandrika Kumaratunga told a trade union delegation, in Colombo, on July 20, that a ‘new’ Constitution would be presented before the people by November 2001, after taking the opinion of all sections, including the clergy, the minorities, minor political parties and intellectuals. Ahead of the October 2000-Parliamentary elections, the Ruling People’s Alliance tabled a draft Constitution in Parliament, but had to later withdraw the same, having failed to muster the required majority to ensure a smooth passage. The October 200-draft shall not be considered while preparing the present daft, the President said. Commenting on the urgency of a new Constitution, the President said, "the country needs a new constitution to pave the way for economic development and to end the war, thus ensuring permanent peace in the country." The President also sought to allay the perception that the move was being made because the Opposition is pursuing a no-confidence motion against her government.

According to official sources, India's Law Ministry has ruled out granting a pardon to Peter Bleach, arrested in December 1995 with four Russian pilots and a Latvian, for his alleged involvement in arms dropping in Purulia, West Bengal. The Russians and the Latvian were set free in July 2000 after their governments requested for their release. The British government has since been arguing that since Bleach and the Russians and Latvian were convicted of the same offence, he too should be released. However, the Indian Law Ministry contended that as Bleach was a 'co-founder' of the conspiracy, he should not be released, a view that the Home Ministry concurred with.

The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), has accused Pakistan with adopting a "dual policy on Kashmir to suit its own motives." Shabir Chaudhury, a former President of the outfit made the statement in London, on July 29. According to him, "Pakistani policy on Kashmir is like teeth of an elephant, the tusk is to gain international sympathy while the actual teeth are to eat Kashmiris." Defending the JKLF decision to boycott the tea party hosted in honour of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf during his visit to New Delhi, he said "we don’t intend to create a storm in a cup of tea, but can anyone define the utility of this exercise." He also added that the Pakistani President should first seek a mandate from the people of Pakistan before talking on international issues and contended that Musharraf’s meeting with the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leadership was "only to project himself as a Kashmir representative at international fora."

The statement also stressed the need of peaceful coexistence among the people of all the northeastern States for a better future.

Speaking to a news agency on July 30, a senior leader of the separatist All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC), Abdul Gani Lone blamed the Union government for the influx of foreign mercenaries in J&K. Lone, also the chairman of the People’s Conference, claimed, if the "…Government of India offered negotiations in 1995-96, there would have been no question of foreign militants joining the Kashmiris … in the State”. This, he said, had, thus, ‘complicated" things in the State. However, he added that terrorists in the State were predominantly local, as the number of foreign mercenaries was less than one per cent of the total. Commenting on the Indo-Pak Agra summit, he urged both the countries to continue the dialogue process for resolving the 54-year-old Kashmir issue. "Talk, talk and talk till the Kashmir dispute is resolved. There is no other alternative but negotiations through which the imbroglio can be resolved," Lone said.

The Naga Youth Front has called for a bandh (total shut down) in protest against the decision of the Union government to limit its cease-fire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to Nagaland. Its earlier decision was to extend the cease-fire to all Naga-inhabited areas of the North East, which has since been revoked. The bandh call is restricted to the four hill districts of Manipur—Ukhrul, Senapati, Tamenglong and Chandel. There is a large Naga population in these parts of Manipur where the NSCN-IM wanted its cease-fire with security forces expanded. Security forces are on red alert in these four hill districts. The United Naga Council (UNC) had already given a similar call. According to police sources, normal life has come to a halt in these four hill districts of Manipur as a result of the strike. Also, road communication between Imphal and the rest of the country has been cut off.

Top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terrorist Mustafa Khan and two of his associates were killed during an operation conducted by security forces (SF) at Goigam in Budgam district, on July 30. One SF personnel was injured in the operation that was launched after SF units received information that a group of terrorists were present at a mosque in the village. The three terrorists in the mosque were killed after a 12-hour operation in which neither the shrine was damaged nor there were any civilian casualties. SF sources said Mustafa Khan, a ‘battalion commander’, was actually the chief of the outfit’s ‘Task Force’ for eliminating informers aiding SFs, Special Police Officers (SPO) and leading activists of the ruling National Conference (NC) in the districts of Budgam, Baramulla and Srinagar. He is suspected to be responsible for over 100 killings, particularly soft targets.
