On August 1 a bill proposing amendment to the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution to give effect to the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) was tabled by the Minister of State for Home Affairs I D Swami in the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament). While seeking approval of the House for the creation of the BTC that was agreed to, among other things, during the agreement signed on February 10, 2003 with the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT), he said that the Government was also planning to formulate a rehabilitation scheme for approximately 800,000 non-tribals under the BTC’s jurisdiction. Although the Sixth Schedule in its existing form lays down provisions for the administration of tribal areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura, yet it does not have provisions for the creation of autonomous council for the plain tribes like the Bodo Kachari. Following amendment, the BTC would be created as an autonomous self-governing body within the State of Assam with such legislative, administrative and financial powers as delegated to it.

Responding to the Pakistan President Pervez Musharaf’s proposal for a conditional cease-fire between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) and reducing the strength of Indian security forces in the Kashmir Valley, an unnamed External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said on August 12 that there was "nothing new" in those suggestions. He said, "They have not been found effective in the past because Pakistan has continued to sponsor terrorism directed against India and provided support to cross-border infiltration. Once terrorism in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is stopped and Pakistan-aided terrorists stop crossing the LoC, the level of firing would naturally go down." Instead of "propagandist" statements, Pakistan should take effective and long-term oriented measures to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism, he added.

President Musharraf has mooted the idea of a cease-fire along the LoC during an interaction with a visiting Indian delegation of Parliamentarians and journalists in Islamabad on the same day. In a press release issued by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir, Sayeed said "we have a special reason to be happy over such a ceasefire as it was the people of Jammu and Kashmir who bled and suffered immensely due to confrontation between India and Pakistan, including border firing."

Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has alleged that factions of the Nagaland-based National Socialist Council of Nagaland– Isak Muivah and Khaplang (NSCN-IM and NSCN-K) were violating the cease-fire ground rules and also supporting disruptive activities in the Northeastern States, including Tripura. While talking to a news agency on August 13 in New Delhi, he reportedly said, "Despite ceasefire with the Centre (Union Government), the NSCN-IM and NSCN-K are creating trouble in other states of the North-east including Tripura by violating the ground rules." He further said that the NLFT and All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), terrorist groups active in Tripura, were also being encouraged by them. He said, "The Centre, which is holding peace talks with the NSCN (I-M), must ensure that the rebel outfit strictly observes cease-fire ground rules in the region." Besides, "New Delhi should pressurize Dhaka to demolish the camps of the North-east militants on its soil and hand over the ultras to India," he added.

Violence is not the answer to any solution, and so the militants should shun the path of killings and bloodbath and join the mainstream by holding peace talks with the government." However, he added that the terrorist groups should not put any preconditions for talks. National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the two most active outfits in the State, want, among other things, sovereignty issue to be included in the talks agenda and that talks should be held in a foreign country.

Residents of Asthakuwale village under the Ghorabandha police station-limits of East Singhbhum district in Jharkhand reportedly lynched a left-wing extremist—Naxalite—of the People’s War Group (PWG) on August 21. The incident occurred when a group of 20 Naxalites arrived at the village and opened two rounds of fire when the residents refused to give in to their demand for food. On hearing the gun shots, residents of adjacent villages gathered and lynched the Naxalite when he and his accomplices tried to escape. The incident occurred barely hours after the Chief Minister Arjun Munda visited the Naxalite-affected Dumaria block of the district and assured Government help for those who put up resistance against the Naxalites and announced a 15 crore development package for the area. Munda said that his Government was ready for talks with the Naxalites provided they lay down arms and are willing to be rehabilitated.

At least 50 persons were killed and 150 others injured in twin bomb blasts in Mumbai, capital city of Maharashtra, on August 25. While the first bomb exploded near the Gateway of India, the second one occurred in the busy Zaveri Bazaar (market) area. In both the blasts, high explosive devices were reportedly kept inside two taxis. One taxi driver has been arrested for interrogation in connection with the blasts. No terrorist group has claimed responsibility for these blasts thus far. Meanwhile, the city Police Commissioner, R. S. Sharma, said it could be "a jehadi group", possibly the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) or the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which "have several modules in the city and around". "We have worked on this suspicion before and even now, we suspect them but it is too early to pinpoint who (is responsible for the blasts), he said" Separately, hours after the blasts, more than 100 detonators were found inside a railway tunnel at Ghatandevi near Igatpuri, approximately 60 kilometers from Nashik, Maharashtra, just an hour before an express train carrying a large number of pilgrims was to pass.

On August 27, the executive committee of the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) declared that the outfit would not accept an interim Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) till all clauses of the Bodo Accord signed on February 10, 2003 are implemented. The Parliament has passed a bill paving way for the formation of an autonomous district council for the Bodos and the bill now awaits President Abdul Kalam’s assent. Further, the Union Government has also approved Constitutional status to the Bodo language. However, the demand of Scheduled Tribe (Hill) status for Bodos in Karbi Anglong and equal status with dominant tribes in the areas administered by the Tiwa, Rabha and Mising Autonomous Councils is still under consideration. Meanwhile, the BLT chairman Hagrama Basumatary reiterated that his cadres would surrender arms only after the Council formation.

Separately, even as the 8th Inter-State Council meeting began amidst tight security arrangements in Srinagar on August 27, Kashmir valley observed a shutdown which had been called by different terrorist groups and secessionist organisations. Police reportedly detained approximately 200 activists of secessionist groups from different area in the Capital city.
