The second round of the dialogue between the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (AHPC) and the Union Government was held in New Delhi on March 27. It was attended by Home Secretary Anil Baijal, Centre’s interlocutor on J&K, N N Vohra, IB chief K P Singh, and other senior officials. The Hurriyat delegation was represented by chairman Maulvi Abbas Ansari, Prof Abdul Ghani Bhat, Mirwaiz Omar Farooq and Bilal Lone. Speaking after the two-hour meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister Mr L K Advani asserted that improved relations between India and Pakistan would have an impact on the overall situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the January 6 joint statement issued in Islamabad was a very important step in normalising the relations. Mr Advani said major developments in the State had been the holding of free and fair elections which the world had witnessed, the increasing tourist inflow and the successful holding of the Amarnath Yatra. Disclosing that the third round of the talks would be held sometime in June, during which "substantive issues" would be discussed, Mr Advani said two main issues——alleged human rights violations and release of detenus-were taken up at the meeting. Asked to identify the "substantive issues," he said "it all depends on what is in their mind. We have not imposed any conditions."

The Naxalite group is reported to have responded positively announcing that it was ready for a simultaneous implementation of cease-fire. PWG ‘secretary’ Ramakrishna told Deccan Chronicle over phone that the organisation was prepared to negotiate through talks. He said that the Government should involve all those who were playing an active role in restoring peace in a democratic manner. The PWG demanded that the Government should withdraw rewards for the capture/killing of Naxalites who were underground. He also said police officials should not be involved in the negotiations. Ramakrishna further added that the police should immediately stop combing operations and allow the PWG to carry on with its political campaign and maintain restraint. However, a report in The Hindu indicated that the PWG has rejected the Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's appeal that its armed cadre should confine themselves to forest areas arguing that it has every right to propagate its ideology as a political party. However, it has sought to assure the Government that its cadre will not resort to any `armed actions,' if Government forces also observe `restraint.'

The People's War Group (PWG) in a three page statement on June 15 signed by the 'State committee secretary', Ramakrishna, and the 'Politburo' member Prakash has stated that announcing a ‘simultaneous ceasefire’ for three to six months and a guarantee for the safe passage of its representatives at the peace talks was an essential prerequisite for holding any negotiations with the State Government. In a response to the Home Minister Jana Reddy's statement on the issue of talks, the outfit indicated for the first time that its ‘State Committee’ members would hold talks with Ministers once the modalities were worked out by its yet-to-be named emissaries with Government representatives. The PWG response indicated that once the ceasefire was agreed upon and announced, a committee should be formed to enforce the ceasefire agreement and also examine violations of the agreement, if any. The outfit also expressed willingness to name the emissaries but added it would be done only after the ‘simultaneous ceasefire’ came into effect.

A Hindu report stated that the Janashakti (Ramachandran group), one of the splinter groups, would not participate in the direct peace talks to be held in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, on October 15. In a statement released on October 13 in West Godavari district, a senior leader of the party, Raghavulu, accused the State Government of failing to take necessary action to remove ‘false cases’ registered against some of their activists and farmers in the East Godavari district. He alleged that the State Government was giving priority only to the PWG and neglecting other ‘revolutionary parties’ and in this backdrop their party would keep itself away from talks until the cases were removed.

According to The Times of India, the peace talks between representatives of the left wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) outfits and the Andhra Pradesh Government did not progress much as expected due to serious reservations by both the parties over the issue of Naxalites carrying guns into villages. The Naxalite outfits claimed a broad agreement was reached on this matter but Home Minister K Jana Reddy disputed that claim. He insisted he was still not agreeable to extremists carrying weapons during political activities and asked the talk referees to persuade them to eschew guns. The Naxalites, however, agreed to make disputed clause VII of the ceasefire agreement, which stipulates laying down of weapons, a part of the agenda for the talks, which will resume on October 16, today. ‘State secretary’ of the erstwhile People’s War Group (PWG), Ramakrishna, who briefed the media separately, said despite reservations, both sides had reached an agreement on the terms of the ceasefire, which would be signed on October 16, today. Accordingly, the guerrillas would not cease to carry weapons into villages, he added. The Hindu reports that the first round of peace talks between the Andhra Pradesh Government and PWG, Janashakti resulted in a ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire will be in force "as long as the talks continue" and not merely for three months as announced earlier by the Government. The agreement was reached without a written document signed by both the sides. The five-member Naxalite team insisted on the Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy's signature after preparation of a document. But the latter held that such an arrangement was needless. He pointed out that the existing ceasefire was being implemented on the basis of the correspondence between them during the last four months. With the weapons issue taking most of the time, the first day's talks did not make much headway on the 10-point agenda. Jana Reddy headed the government team, which comprised of Minister for Revenue Dharmana Prasada Rao, Social Welfare Minister D Redya Naik, Municipal Administration Minister K Ranga Rao, former Minister T Purushotham Rao, P Venkat Rao and Tirupati Urban Development Auth-ority chairman Karunakar Reddy and former minister K Kesava Rao. The erstwhile PWG team was led by its ‘secretary’ Ramakrishna. The other members of the team were Sudhakar, ‘secretary’ of the ‘Andhra-Orissa Border Special Zone Committee’, and Ganesh, member of the ‘North Telangana Special Zonal Committee’. Janashakti was represented by its ‘secretaries’ Amar and Riaz. The members of the monitoring committee and mediators including P Vara Vara Rao, Gaddar, G Kalyan Rao, C Srinivas Rao, Chandranna, Kannabiran, S R Sankaran, P Venkateswara Rao, A B K Prasad, Seshaiah, Bojja Tarakam, Haragopal, Kesava Rao Jadav, Prof Ghanta Chakrapani were also present during the first day of talks.

The Hindu reports that negotiations between the Government and the left wing extremists (also called Naxalites) failed to make headway on the second day on October 16 as the CPI (Maoists) and CPI-ML (Janashakti) representatives insisted on a commitment to end repression against the 'people's movements' before taking up the main agenda. The Naxalites put forth four demands — withdrawal of criminal cases against participants in people's struggles, release of political prisoners, scrapping of rewards on the heads of revolutionaries and a check on the activities of anti-social elements and armed mafia gangs. This came as a surprise to the Government side, led by the Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy, which expected the naxalites to abide by their resolve to take up "people's agenda." After eight-hour long negotiations, Mr. Jana Reddy stated that the issues raised by Naxalites would be referred to the Government and the final decision made known before conclusion of the current round of negotiations.

According to The Hindu, the land issue, the list of agriculture land gifted to various corporate houses and "lack of sincerity" in implementing land reforms dominated during the talks with Andhra Pradesh government on October 17. However, the government on its part assured that the surplus land issue along with other demands would be discussed in the Cabinet meeting on October 18 before resuming talks. "We proposed to set up a committee to identify the surplus and undistributed land in endowments, works, agriculture and other categories", Home Minister K Jana Reddy said after the talks. During their talks with the Government, leaders of the left wing extremists handed over a letter to the Government furnishing details of 43 individuals, who have come to own hundreds of acres of land in and around the twin cities largely due to the patronage extended by successive governments in the past.

The CPI-Maoist sounded a warning to the State government that it would have to reconsider its decision on the ceasefire if the "police continued to break" the pact. Senior CPI-Maoist leader Narasimha Reddy alias Ganganna told reporters at the Marri Channa Reddy Institute that the Prakasam district police had ‘foisted fake cases’ against three Naxalites and arrested them, which was against the peace talks accord. "We have been following the ceasefire. We expect the government to reciprocate," he added. Even as the first round of peace talks concluded on October 18, CPI-Maoist leader Ramakrishna said he was "not very satisfied with the response to our demands." He wanted the next round from November 17, after the Naxalite public meeting in Hyderabad on the 16th. He added that the monitoring committee would study the action taken on their demands.

Even as the six months-long cease-fire between left-wing extremists (also known as Naxalites) and the Andhra Pradesh Government ended on December 16, there was no announcement by the State Government, thus far, on the extension of the truce. According to The Hindu, the Government is reluctant to officially commit itself to a cease-fire extension and is arguing that as there is no such "formal agreement" there is no necessity to extend it. Commenting on the extension, Home Minister K Jana Reddy is reported to have said, "We have not given any thought at all to this issue… We are ready to face any challenges that are thrown by the Naxalites." He also added, "With or without the ceasefire it is the same for the Naxalites as they are acting as per their whims and fancies, extorting money from the poor and helpless and blasting the landmines."
