Mujahid Masood, spokesman of the Hizb-ul-mujahideen, said, on December 2, the Hizb has not outrightly rejected the cease-fire proposal made by Prime Minister Vajpayee and added that the Hizb "will suspend its activities only when government of India comes forward with a realistic approach. He, however, hastened to add that the statement by the Director General of Police, A. K. Suri, that, routine operations would be carried out against terrorists, has made the cease-fire offer meaningless and ridiculous. Mujahid said, "Hizbul Mujahideen understands that if this is the interpretation of Vajpayee's cease fire then it can neither bring peace nor solve Kashmir issue for 100 years".

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".

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.

News reports added mild clashes occurred between supporters of the Hurriyat leaders outside the venue of the meeting. Supporters of pro-independence leader Mohammad Yaseen Malik, also the chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), indulged in a sloganeering duel with pro-Pakistan supporters of Geelani. Later, the leaders of the alliance maintained there was complete unity within the front and dismissed speculation of any imminent split.

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.

News reports quoting official sources indicated that the Centre has asked the Manipur government to investigate alleged links of at least five State ministers with terrorist outfits. The Union Home Ministry is believed to have forwarded a report to the State authorities containing evidence of the nexus between the ministers and terrorist groups. The outfits with which the ministers are alleged to be having links include the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang), People's Liberation Army (PLA), United National Liberation Front (UNLF), Kanglei Yawol Kunna Lup-Oken (KYKL-O) and Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA). A few ministers, the sources alleged, provided their official cars and bungalows to the terrorists and several government contracts had been allotted to the nominees or those having links with the terrorist outfits. These outfits have been indulging in offloading rice, sugar, wheat and other commodities from trucks carrying public distribution system goods and distributing them among locals at a very low price, they said, adding, extortion by these outfits have been rampant.

The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Amanullah Khan addressing a press conference in Islamabad on December 18 said that the Indian cease-fire though appreciable, would not prove instrumental in resolving the Kashmir issue. 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.

J&K chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, who was also present in the party, told newsmen that he was opposed to an extension of the cease-fire since killing of innocent people by terrorists continued unabated. Speaking to newsmen at a separate venue in New Delhi on the same day, Army Chief General S Padmanabhan said, the response to the ongoing Ramadan cease-fire in Jammu and Kashmir has been satisfactory although "some groups do not seem to like to live in peace".

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".

According to him, "although his outfit favoured the merger of Kashmir with Pakistan, yet it would never rake a conflict on the matter at this crucial moment". Expressing dismay over the reported clash between the leaders of Hurriyat at its meeting on December 17, he said, "The time had come for the Kashmiris to demonstrate to the world that they were in favour of a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir issue". He also added, "there is no reason to doubt the integrity of the Hurriyat leaders for the time being, but if incidents like the one that took place on Sunday recur, they (leaders) would be taken to task".

India’s Home Minister, L. K. Advani, said in Agrtala, Tripura, on March 28, that India would exert maximum pressure at the highest level on Bangladesh to prevent insurgents from using its soil for activities against India. Stating that the Centre and various State governments of India’s Northeast would work jointly to crush insurgencies in the region, Advani added that intelligence agencies would be strengthened there to enable the security forces operating there to share information. The Home Minister further stated that militants were taking advantage of the long porous border with Bangladesh and were sneaking into India, and this made counter-insurgency operations difficult. Besides, large influx of Bangladeshis into India has hampered counter-insurgency operations, Advani said.

Years of hard work by the Police in containing the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres has resulted in the Panchayat (local body) elections in Visakha Agency area recording 70 per cent polling which was a kind of watershed in controlling Maoists, Superintendent of Police Vikram Jeet Duggal said while giving details of the District Police’s performance during this year, at a press conference in Visakhapatnam on December 28, reports The Hindu. Though the Maoists had snatched away nomination papers at six places during the election process, the Girijans turned up in large numbers for polling and when this made them jittery, the Maoists committed some offences and killed four persons. Before the elections, they conducted four famine raids and looted property of four families. Maoists killed seven persons, including a former Home Guard, during this year and injured 20. While no policeman was killed one Maoist was killed in the two exchanges of fire that took place. The Police arrested 67 cadres like dalam (squad) members, area committee members and militia members while 58 had surrendered. There were 39 underground cadre of the CPI-Maoist in the District and seven of them were from outside the District. In addition there were 25 militia members who were as active as the underground cadres. There were also 542 militia members or sympathisers of the party and they were in different categories. Movement of companies (each consisting of 30 to 45) of Maoists was witnessed only before the Panchayat elections. As many as 293 combing operations were done so far during this year compared to 133 during last year, Duggal said.
