The Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said in Guwahati on December 2 that the State government was not averse to declaring a cease-fire in the State to facilitate possible peace talks between the Centre and the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). The Chief Minister said, "It is up to the Centre to decide whether or not to declare a ceasefire in Assam. As far as my government is concerned, we have no objection whatsoever because we are keen on a negotiated settlement of the insurgency problem in the State." He also emphasised on the need for urgent political negotiations between the Government and the ULFA to sort out the problem and arrive at an acceptable solution. "The Centre can apply the same principle in Assam as is the case with the ceasefire and subsequent negotiations with the NSCN (I-M) in Nagaland," he said.

According to media reports, under heavy pressure from the Bhutanese authorities, terrorists of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are reportedly attempting to set up camps and bases inside Meghalaya's Garo Hills. Reports quoting intelligence sources indicated that ULFA cadres entering the western Assam district of Barpeta from their camps in Bhutan, cross the Bramhaputra river and proceed to the Goalpara district or West Kamrup and later move inside Garo Hills. As reported earlier, Bhutanese Home Minister, Lyonpo Thinley Gyamtsho, had said in Kolkata recently that the ULFA, which runs nine camps in southern Bhutan, has agreed to close these down in phases following discussions with the Bhutanese government. According to him, four camps will be closed by December, while the strength in the remaining ones would be initially reduced and finally closed.

Garo Hills Superintendent of Police, B R Rana, speaking over telephone from Tura, confirmed, "Yes, the movements are increasing. They are scouting for new sanctuaries. Apart from the Bhutan pressure, I would call it a strategic shift. The militant hideouts have become well-known in Assam, so, they want to broad base their operations." According to him, another reason behind the ULFA's establishment of camps and safe-houses in Meghalaya was that the State's borders with Assam was contagious and thus it was easier to strike at targets in Assam and also sneak back to take shelter. Evidence of ULFA's presence in the Garo hills was visible from the February 22 incident, when approximately six of its cadres were killed in an encounter with the Meghalaya police near Nishilipara under Tura police station.

Speaking in Guwahati on December 9, Assam Minister of State for Home, Pradyut Bordoloi said that instead of insisting on preconditions, the Central Government and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) should commence peace talks for a long-lasting solution to the insurgency problem. He added that the Centre and ULFA should be flexible and begin talks by adopting a policy of give and take. He pointed out that the State government has requested the Centre to initiate the process of talks as "the issues raised by the militants can only be settled by the Central government and the state government can only create a favourable atmosphere." However, he said that till date, the State government has not decided to announce a unilateral cease-fire. The Minister opined that instead of declaring a unilateral cease-fire, the State government is of the view that a Nagaland type cease-fire should be the formula. While pointing out to the vital role played by non-government organisations (NGOs) like the Naga Mothers’ Association and the Naga Ho Ho in facilitating the cease-fire agreement between the government and the factions of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), he urged Assamese NGOs to come forward and take up such a role.

The Assam government has urged the Union government to commence negotiations with the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) to solve the insurgency problem in the State. In an interview to The Sentinel, on December 10, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said there should not be any hurdle in holding talks with the ULFA since "Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has demonstrated his government’s resolve to bring about [a] political settlement of [the] insurgency problem in the country… The policy, which is being applied for talks with Naga insurgents, should also be applied in the case of Assam militants. Vajpayee has met NSCN (IM) leaders in Japan." He also said that the government was in search of a mediator acceptable to both the sides for a possible dialogue. The Chief Minister pointed that he has received indications that the ULFA was ready for initiating a political dialogue with the government. He added, "Besides, I believe that the ULFA’s stand on … talks is quite flexible now."

West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee, speaking on a resolution in State Legislative Assembly condemning the terrorist attack on Parliament, said that Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) was behind all subversive activities in the State. He said the ISI was sponsoring camps in Bhutan and Bangladesh for the terrorists of the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and assisting them in their subversive activities in North Bengal. The Chief Minister added that the ISI was behind the recent incidents of abduction in the State and funding its operations from ransom and the narcotics trade. Pointing out that the left-wing extremists, Naxalites of the People’s War Group (PWG) and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) had become active in Midnapore and Bankura, Bhattacharjee said this phenomenon was not isolated and was part of an international conspiracy to destablise India from within.

According to a media report, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga has offered to mediate peace in the North Eastern region by being an intermediary between the union government and the various terrorist outfits. He said, "The Government of India is already utilizing my services in matters concerning restoration of peace in the North-east. But, I would like to make it clear that I am ready to directly mediate peace between the government and the insurgent groups." He said he was ready to try and bring not only the Naga groups but also the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and other terrorist outfits in the region for talks with the Centre. Commenting on the ongoing Naga peace talks, Zoramthanga said, "The Prime Minister has done the right thing by agreeing to directly meet with the NSCN (I-M) leaders in Japan. But, I feel that entering into peace negotiations with all the Naga rebel groups, either jointly or separately, and then signing an agreement will bring permanent peace in the Naga areas."

Reports in the media on December 27 said the top leadership of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) had met in Bhutan on an unspecified date and discussed the future course of action following the ULFA vacating some of its camps in Bhutan, and more at a later date. Chief among the issues discussed was managing the communication link with the field units if the headquarters were to be shifted from Bhutan, probably to the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) in Bangladesh.

According to Indian media reports, authorities in Bhutan have indicated that they were carefully watching the pullout of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) terrorists from Bhutan as part of a deal arrived at in June 2001. "Rebels of the United Liberation Front of Asom have already closed one camp located inside our country at Pemagashel and are in the process of winding up three more bases besides reducing the number of their cadres here," Bhutan’s Home Secretary Tasho Pema Wangchuk was quoted as saying. The ULFA is reported to be withdrawing following its written assurance in June 2001 given to the Royal Government in Thimphu that it would remove four of its nine camps in that country by December 31, 2001 and reduce the strength of its cadres. "We are watching the pullout very carefully. After the rebel group fulfils its commitment of closing down four camps by December 31, we shall immediately sit with its leaders to work out the modalities for the closure of the remaining five camps and their total withdrawal from the country," Wangchuk said. According to Indian intelligence sources, the ULFA had, until recently, at least 36 camps inside Bhutan, some of them well-entrenched bases, complete with firing ranges and other training and recreational facilities. Raju Baruah, ‘deputy commander-in-chief’ of the ULFA, heads the outfit’s activities in Bhutan at its bases. An estimated 2000 cadres are inside Bhutan
