Admiral Robert Willard, the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) Commander said on March that the US and India are working together on contain Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), reports Times of India. "We have currently special forces assist teams - Pacific assist teams is the term - laid down in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, as well as India," Willard told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing in response to a question on co-operation with India on counter-terrorism issues. He said Pacific Command's Indian Engagement Initiative that resourced and hosted Mumbai counter terrorist specialists for training exercises and exchanges throughout the US, together with capacity-building activities with South Asian partners are mainly focused on containing LeT and contributing to counter-terrorism self-sufficiency of the sub-region's militaries. "We are working very closely with India with regard to their counter-terrorism capabilities and in particular on the maritime domain but also government to government, not necessarily DOD (department of defence) but other agencies assisting them in terms of their internal counter-terror and counterinsurgency challenges," Willard said.

Sources said the Government is also in the final stages of approving three significantly large military stations or training centres in the Maoist affected areas. First is the proposal to set up a National School for Counter Insurgency at Saraipali in Mahasamund District of Chhattisgarh.

Speaking to media persons on February 1, the publicity secretary of the Surrendered National Democratic Front of Bodoland Welfare Association (SNDFBWA), Rajni Kanta Narzary, said the Central Government has failed to keep its commitment to rehabilitate all the surrendered NDFB cadres, reports The Times of India. Narzary said that the Central Government has not released the promised monthly stipend of INR 2,000 per cadre since 2004 and most of the cadres received the stipend for only three-six months. Narzary said there are 893 NDFB cadres who have come overground and surrendered their arms, of which around 600 did so after the All Out operation was carried out in Bhutan in December 2003, but the Centre has not rehabilitated all the surrendered cadres as per its commitment. He said the cadres would be compelled to take the path of agitation if the government fails to take measures for complete rehabilitation.

The Central Government is finalizing a series of decisions to increase military presence across the Naxal [left-wing extremist] belt in east and central India, reports The Times of India. Among them is a plan to raise the first Territorial Army battalion comprising local tribals. While sources insisted that the strategy was to increase military presence and no operations were planned, the move could deny many local advantages enjoyed by the Naxals. With a locals-only 'Home and Hearth' battalion and several military stations and training centres all over the tribal belt of central India, the Centre's strategy will give the military deep local presence and contacts.

Pro-Talks faction of NDFB (NDFB-PTF) led by its General Secretary, Gobinda Basumatary, Home Secretary, M. Gerema, Publicity Secretary, S. Sanjarang and Education Secretary, I. Damini had visited the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram in New Delhi on March 3 and submitted a memorandum demanding settlement of core issues of the militant formation . In the memorandum submitted by the NDFB-PTF, the militant formation articulated that the cut-off year 15 August 1971 as per Assam accord signed in 1985 for deportation of foreigners from the State has no constitutional validity, as it will not protect the land of the indigenous tribal people. The group therefore appealed to the Government of India to reconsider 1951 as the cut-off year for detection and deportation of foreign nationals illegally settling in the State. The NDFB-PTF demanded that the rules embodied in the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 should remain in force in Bodoland so that the illegal influx of foreign nationals and encroachers could be checked. Apart from these, the NDFB-PTF demanded that the government of India should upgrade the non- territorial autonomous councils-Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council, Tiwa Autonomous council, Mising Autonomous Council, Sonowal Autonomous Council, Thengal Kachari Autonomous Council and Deuri autonomous council under 6th schedule of the Indian constitution and Bodos living within Karbi Anglong should be included in to the Scheduled Tribe-Hill (ST-H) list.

Senior female Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) action squad ‘commander’ Suchitra Mahato (35), a close aide of killed CPI-Maoist Politburo member Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Kishanji, surrendered in the presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the State Secretariat in Kolkata on March 9, reports The Hindu. Suchitra was with Kishanji when he was killed in the encounter on November 24, 2011 in the Burisole forest area in West Midnapore District. Her surrender comes a year after her late husband Sashadhar Mahato, senior Maoist leader and a close associate of Kishanji, was killed in an encounter on March 10, 2011. Last month she married Prabir Gorai, a resident of Dhanshala village in the Lalgarh area of West Midnapore District. Gorai also surrendered along with Suchitra. Gorai is an activist of the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) from Lalgarh, but does not have as many cases pending against him. The Telegraph adds that Suchitra had nearly 80 cases against her, including the attack on the Eastern Frontier Rifles camp in Silda in 2010 that killed 24 troopers, abduction of former officer in charge of Sankrail Police Station Atindranath Dutta in 2009 and the killing of two polling officers the same year.

The alleged main conspirator, Wasim Akram Malik, has been described by the NIA as an “avid Internet user” and a “leaderless jihadi” and that he “conspired and executed this action in conspiracy with HM terrorists and other outfits.” Wasim was allegedly inspired by books and texts on slain al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and the Taliban leader Mullah Omar he read on the Internet. According to NIA statement, “Wasim had also read a lot about Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian doctor and current leader of the al-Qaeda. Being a doctor himself, Wasim identified with him and eulogised his contribution towards jihad. Jihad, he believed, was a means of revolution, which, if done with dedication, shall definitely bring about a change in the lives of the Kashmiri population”.

Mizoram State Home Minister R Lalzirliana on March 14 stated that the recent split in Hmar People’s Convention- Democratic (HPC-D) into two camps deterred the peace negotiations between the militant outfit and the Mizoram Government. “Despite the Centre’s instructions to the Mizoram Government, resumption of peace talks with the HPC-D is not possible as the outfit has split into two. The Mizoram Government does not know with which faction – that of Lalhmingthanga Sinate or Zosangzuala – to resume the peace negotiations, with both factions claiming to be original,” Lalzirliana said. Lalzirliana’s remarks were in reaction to the Union Home Ministry’s recent instructions to the State Government to resume peace talks with the outfit which had derailed due to misunderstandings between the two in 2011. The peace process ran into deadlock when Mizoram Government refused to accept “a US citizen” (read Rochunga Pudaite) as HPC-D interlocutor. The Government had earlier accused the outfit of violating a suspension of operation (SoO) it had signed with the central Government by indulging in illegal activities whereas it was supposed to surrender arms in designated camp.

Veteran Nagaland legislator and former Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Chingwang Konyak, on March 15, announced in the State Assembly that Nagas of Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh were not willing to be part of ‘greater Nagaland’. Konyak, who had been long-time backing the Naga integration move, told the Assembly that Nagas of other States were not willing to merge with Nagaland even though the 16-point agreement had clearly kept the doors open for them. Nagaland was born out of a 16-point agreement in 1960, clause 13 of which had mentioned integration. He said the doors should be kept open for all Nagas as mentioned in the agreement, but urged Naga leaders not to waste time and money on the integration issue. “We should be realistic about the issue,” he said, adding, “We know what is possible and what is not possible.”

Non-Dimasas under the banner of North Cachar Hills Indigenous Students’ Forum (NCHISF) staged a dharna at Dispur Last Gate on March 16 to draw the attention of the State Government towards their long-standing demands of immediate bifurcation of the North Cachar Hills (now Dima Hasao) District under Article 244 (2) of the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, reports The Sentinel. NCHISF general secretary Seiminthang Thangngew said, “Despite our repeated protests, the nomenclature of the North Cachar Hills district was changed to Dima Hasao meaning ‘hill district of the Dimasas’. This proved that the government pays attention to the terror-tactics of the gun-toting militants supported by vested elements. By succumbing to the terror-tactics of the Dimasa militants, the State Government has set an unhealthy precedent of militancy triumphing over democracy. The government has left the non-Dimasa people at the mercy of the Dimasas who have tactfully manipulated the autonomous council and the district administrative machinery to exploit and intimidate other communities. We demand bifurcation of the North Cachar Hills district and will settle for nothing less.” Thangngew further added, “Any further delay in dividing the district will be a step-motherly treatment on the part of the government which will have serious consequences in the long run.”

State Home Minister HDR Lyngdoh categorically stated that the State Government would not invite any militant groups for talks if they do not abjure the path of violence and lay down arms. Lyngdoh said, “The government is not adverse to talks and it will initiate dialogue with the militant outfits if they shun violence and lay down arms”. Lyngdoh about the violent activities perpetrated by the GNLA since January 2010 said that during this period, the GNLA killed 25 civilians and injured three besides killing 10 police personnel and injuring eight others. Home Minister on the action taken by Security Forces said, “During the period, police arrested 156 militants. 31 militants were killed and 65 others surrendered. 93 sophisticated arms were also recovered.”He claimed that the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), a Khasi militant group has been crushed and the Government is determined to ensure that it does not raise its ugly head again. He said the increasing militant activities and a low Police-Population-Area ratio posed a ‘big challenge’. “We recognise that there is a need to improve our police-population ratio and to stengthen the police network so that the problem (militancy) can be nipped at the initial stage,” Lyngdoh said. Meghalaya has 13,394 police personnel, which works out to 110 Police personals for a lakh population and one police covering an area of 6.83 square kilometer, Lyngdoh said. Lyngdoh said the Central Government accorded sanction of INR 50 crore from the 13th Finance Commission for the setting up of a Meghalaya Police Academy, aimed at developing it as a centre of excellence for police training.

According to a March 24 media report in the Assam Tribune that quotes security sources, the North East militant outfits have changed their routes to bring in weapons and explosives to the North East region after the improvement of relation between India and Bangladesh. The militant groups of the region do not have any shortage of weapons but they are facing shortage of ammunition, highly-placed security sources said. Sources told the media that the militant groups have stopped bringing in weapons through Bangladesh and most of the weapons are now brought into the region through Myanmar where most of the militant groups of the region have their strong bases. The weapons are brought through different routes along the India-Myanmar border and though Mizoram is now one of the most peaceful states, the militants are also bringing in weapons through that state. In recent times, Dimapur has become one of the hubs for transactions for weapons, sources added.

According to a March 24 report in Times of India, a fresh twist appeared in the September 8, 2006 Malegaon blast investigations as the NIA (National Investigation Agency), begins to suspect that Hindu fundamentalists might have used Muslim hands to execute the blast. While a claim to the effect that Hindutva radicals behind the terrorist attack may have used Muslim hirelings was made by Swami Aseemanand, inputs gathered by investigators appears to have led the Agency to wonder whether what appeared to be an outlandish theory has some basis.

India has moved Bangladesh with a request to track financial assets belonging to the Manipur-based insurgent outfit, the United National Liberation Front (UNLF), in that country. Investigating agencies have evidence that suggest that UNLF chief R.K. Meghen had amassed assets in Bangladesh with money extorted from Manipur. India and Bangladesh had signed a mutual legal assistance treaty last year which allows transfer of each other’s sentenced prisoners so that the convicts can complete the rest of their jail term in the prisons of their own country. National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also come across evidence that suggest that the UNLF leadership had held two meetings in China in 2009. The first meeting was on January 18, 2009, and the second was on September 28, 2009, at Rulli in China.

Replying to a question in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has claimed, for the first time, that the Maoist movement in India was receiving support from abroad, reported India Today on March 19. "The so-called 'People's war' being waged by the CPI (Maoist) [Communist Party of India-Maoist] against the Indian state has also drawn support from several organisations located in Germany, France, Holland, Turkey and Italy. Besides, Left-wing extremist groups have participated in conferences and seminars conducted in Belgium and Germany," the Minister of State in the MHA, Jitendra Singh, told Parliament. However, the Home Ministry did not make it clear whether the organisations in European countries are only lending ideological support to the CPI-Maoist or providing financial help as well. In the reply to Parliament, the MHA went on to say that the CPI-Maoist has "close links" with foreign Maoist organisations in the Philippines and Turkey.

The feud reportedly started when Sabyasachi Panda was put in charge of the Orissa group five years ago and he began giving an Oriya face to the cadre, replacing those from Andhra Telugus. This was not to the liking of the CPI-Maoist top brass, who looked for opportunities to clip his wings. Sources said Panda was taken to task after the murder of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, for which the party had no approval. "We have information that the party does not have the policy of kidnapping foreigners and Panda is likely to be punished further after the crisis is over," said a senior Police Official. Insiders say Maoists in Orissa support Panda more than his Telugu counterparts.

In recent times, some weapons manufactured in European countries were also recovered from militants, but there are reasons to believe that those were, in fact, manufactured in China and only the stamps of European countries were put on the same. The Government of India took up the issue with China on several occasions but the Chinese authorities always denied the same. Sources said that the militant groups are facing shortage of ammunition for the weapons and that fact came to light during interception of communication of the militant leaders on several occasions.

In this regard, NDFB-RD ‘assistant information and publicity secretary’ B. Samijing on March 24 said, “Till today our leaders, including the president are in jail for which steps to start the peace talks have been delayed. ULFA [United Liberation Front of Asom] leaders were released from jail and they are engaging in open consultation with intellectuals as well common people over their issue, but the NDFB leaders, including President Ranjan Daimary, are in jail”. Samijing further said, “We demanded equal treatment for Ranjan Daimary and other leaders of the organisation. We demand the release of NDFB leaders from jail because the peace process cannot be held inside a jail. The peace process will be more effective if the NDFB leaders are released. The peace process is much awaited by the organisation and common people,” he said, adding that the Centre’s interlocutor, P.C. Haldar, had met the organisation leaders in jail but this has not yielded results.”

The Union Government on March 28 stayed hanging of Balwant Singh Rajoana, a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist facing death sentence for the assassination of then Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh on August 31, 1995, reports Times of India. Sources in the government said that the hanging, which was scheduled to be carried out on March 31, has been stayed following a petition filed by SGPC, the Sikh religious body. The sources said the decision to keep the hanging in abeyance was taken since a petition was filed in line with the guidelines followed in such cases. Rajoana was awarded death sentence by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) special court July 2007 along with another terrorist, Jagtar Singh Hawara, in the Beant Singh assassination case. The Punjab and Haryana high court had October 2010 upheld the death sentence for Rajoana but changed the capital punishment given to Hawara to life imprisonment. Rajoana had refused to challenge the death sentence awarded to him.

Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC), which is on a tripartite ceasefire agreement with the Government of India and the Government of Meghalaya, finally split which may have an impact on the ongoing peace process. A leader from the anti talks faction of ANVC, on March 30, told The Shillong Times that around 300 cadres, including ‘officers’, have joined the anti-talk faction of the ANVC. “The designated ANVC camps are isolated and many cadres have returned to the jungles”, the leader added. When asked why the split, the leader blamed the peace talks which have become a non-starter as a result of which the cadres are dissatisfied. The lukewarm response of the Government of India to the ANVC demand for a Garoland Autonomous Council (GAC) is one reason for the dissatisfaction of the cadres. “Another reason which forced the cadres to return to jungle was to safeguard the common people from the pressure of Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) and the motive is to bring down the activities of GNLA,” the leader added.

The Special Operations Group (SOG), in numerous operations spread over 2011, confiscated Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 10 million in Ahmedabad city, reports Daily Bhaskar on March 30. Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Chief Manoj Shashidharan said Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) was responsible for channeling FICN into Gujarat from Bangladesh. On March 28 2012, he commented, "We now know that HuJI is pumping fake Indian currency into the state, receiving help from Bangladeshis living illegally in Ahmedabad. These notes are made in Bangladesh and then brought into India by agents of this terrorist outfit. These notes are pushed into the market by simple purchasing. For shopping of say INR 200, a fake INR 1,000 note is given. The unaware shopkeeper gives back INR 800 in original currency”. The fake money is disbursed in small fractions of the original consignment, said Shashidharan. "Only Rs 25-50,000 is taken out at one time," he added. After receiving information about these favourable sites, HuJI agents from Bangladesh get FICN to Lal Darwaza area of Ahmedabad, from where they are circulated to other parts of the city.
