Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on April 1 that the process initiated by the Union Government to restore peace in Assam would be expedited, but ruled out talks with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) on the "sovereignty" issue. Dr. Singh, who arrived in Assam on a two-day election campaign, told a press conference in Guwahati that negotiations would be held within the constitutional framework. "The ULFA may raise the issue during talks but that does not mean all issues are open to negotiation," he said. "Doors will be open to all those who shun violence. Two rounds of talks have been held with certain groups [the discussion with the ULFA-formed People's Consultative Group] and we will accelerate the peace process," he added The Prime Minister also stated that his Government would take a tough stance on infiltration in Assam. "I want to assure the people of Assam that we will show no mercy on illegal infiltration. At the same time, all genuine citizens have my assurance that in the name of detection of foreigners they will not be harassed."

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), in its mouthpiece Freedom claimed on April 7 that it had restrained its cadres from "armed activities" during Legislative Assembly elections in Assam solely in the interest of its peace process with the Union Government. The outfit’s chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, in his speech on the occasion of ULFA’s ‘27th raising day’ said that groups with "vested interests" were trying to scuttle the peace process by killing its cadres, hoping this would provoke it to walk out of the peace process. He further said that ULFA’s decision not to disrupt the polls must not be construed as an acceptance of the electoral process. "As long as these elections are held, Assam will remain suppressed under Indian colonial rule", he said.

Union Home Secretary V. K. Duggal said on April 18 in Srinagar that terrorist training camps were flourishing across the Line of Control (LoC). He told reporters on the first day of his two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir to review the security situation in the run up to April 24-elections in four Assembly constituencies that, "We have all the numbers on the camps and the militants waiting to infiltrate." He also said "Cross border terrorism must end. We have fail-proof and fool-proof evidence that (militant) camps are flourishing across the border. The Centre is determined to keep the State peaceful in all conditions." Despite the Confidence Building Measures, terrorist infrastructure, including camps, were running and the terrorists were ready to infiltrate into the State from across the border, informed Duggal. During the first quarter of 2006, the number of terrorism-related incidents and the casualty figure of security forces and civilians have come down from last year, Duggal disclosed. "Last year by this time, there were 489 incidents as compared to 374 this year. We have neutralised a sizeable number of militants," he stated.
