Speaking at the commissioning of INS Karmuk, at Kolkata on February 4, the Indian Army Chief General N C Vij expressed concern over the continuing presence of terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. The General said that even though India’s peace overtures were on, Pakistan had not yet done anything to demolish the terrorist infrastructure. "Terrorists are still active in Pakistan and are communicating with other insurgent groups in Jammu and Kashmir. Our wireless intercepts show that militant groups are constantly communicating and chatting with each other across the border," he added. The General said though infiltration was down in Jammu and Kashmir as "it is always so during the winter months, it is likely to see a spurt during the summer, especially during May and June. We have put in place a multi-layered security system to prevent infiltration during summer".

The separatist front, All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), announced on February 25 the suspension of talks with the Union Government and gave it a deadline till the month-end to stop human rights violations allegedly by security forces to carry forward the dialogue. "The dialogue process with the Government is in suspension because there is no evidence of sincerity and seriousness on their part," Hurriyat chairman Maulana Mohammad Abbas Ansari said at a press conference at the front’s headquarters in Srinagar. "There has to be a perceptible change in the ground situation by the end of this month. If not, we will not go for talks with the Centre," added Ansari. While claiming that there was no reduction in human rights violations, Ansari also said "if the chain of events unfolding since the beginning of this month does not break, Hurriyat will take a decision on the talks. We will take to streets... We will not take to arms but to protest is our duty." As many as 18 persons have been killed in custody since January 22, 2004, and another 15 have disappeared during the same period, alleged Ansari.
