Muivah pointed out that they did not rule out the Naga sovereignty and integration issues. “The sovereignty of the Naga people lies with the Naga people and not with others,” he stated. With regard to the Naga integration, he explained that it was quite natural for the Nagas not to be divided, while also agreeing that the Government of India (GoI) had lot of difficulties to come over. The aspiration of the Naga people to live together should be respected, he added. With regard to the current crisis after Manipur Government’s banning of his entry to his native village Somdal in Manipur’s Ukhrul district, the NSCN- IM leader said the problem was created by the Manipur Government and it should be solved by them with the GoI. But it was very unfortunate the armed forces of Manipur used force on the Naga peace procession, killing two students and injuring about 100 at Mao Gate on May 6, he said. It would take time to heal it, he stated. According to Nagaland Page, Union Government interlocutor refused to say anything on the current impasse between the Nagas and the Manipur Government and asked Muivah to reply on the impasse. "You ask Mr. Muivah," the Pandey said when asked by media persons. The NSCN-IM leader was quoted saying that the problem was created not by Nagas. "The Naga people rallying for the right cause were just smashed out and hundreds of them were wounded. That is a big mistake," he said. He asked the Union Government and Manipur Government to solve the problem adding, "We are here still and we have the patience".

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang’s (NSCN-K) Chakhesang region chairman opposed the proposed visit of Muivah to Chakhesang area, who was reportedly seeking to camp at Pfutsero under the shelter of Chakhesang Baptist Church Council (CBCC), reports Nagaland Post. He said that the proposed visit/camping of Muivah could never be accepted under any circumstances and added that forceful entry would lead to “ugly confrontation.” He described Muivah seeking to shelter himself at CBCC as a ‘shameful approach’ and reminded about the physical assault and harassment of Rev. K. Luruo, the then mission field director of CBCC some years back by a one “constable” in Muivah’s functionary in his residential compound at Pfutsero Mission Centre. He said neither the “constable” has apologized nor the case compromised in any manner till date. Referring to Muivah’s proposed visit to Somdal, the chairman said “we had no objection on his propose visit to his native village rather we ought to keep ourselves far away from interfering in it as it was none of our business; however our statement is specifically opposed to Muivah’s entry into the Chakhesang areas under any circumstances.”

Addressing a joint press conference, after holding talks between them, Pandey said that the current problem facing them was “sensitive” but disclosed that both sides agreed to address them. They would continue pursuing negotiations to make all possible efforts for an early solution and would not allow distraction to come in, Pandey said. Pandey also disclosed that there would be no imposition on either side while trying to find solution to the issue. “We would find solution to the Naga issue that is honorable and acceptable on the basis of the uniqueness of the Naga history,” the Union Government interlocutor said. Pandey said Naga sovereignty was out of question while also stating that “without political consensus, boundaries of Northeast (States) cannot be changed.” “The sovereignty and unity of India has to be maintained,” he said. “Yet all possible efforts to meet the aspiration of the Nagas would be explored.” The Kohima talk was the 4th one after Muivah arrived at Delhi this time and they would soon be heading for the 5th one at Delhi for which, the Union Government invited Muivah to come to Delhi, Pandey disclosed.

Security Forces foiled another infiltration attempt by the militants on the International Border (IB) in Hiranagar sector in early hours of June 4, reports Daily Excelsior. The report said that an unusual presence of some dreaded militants, who appeared to be top commanders of different outfits, has been observed around launching pads in Pakistan side for past few days. The top commanders, supporting long beards and hairs, have been seen moving around launching pads of the militants opposite the IB for past few days, Intelligence sources said, adding they could be part of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) deputed by its top brass or Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to search for the routes to infiltrate the militants, who have been held up along the border for past several months, unable to breach fencing and tight security cordon of the Border Security Force (BSF). ‘‘For the last few days, movement of new militants is being observed at launching pads erected by Pakistan Army, Rangers and ISI close to their posts on the IB on Pakistan side. Two to three such ultras have been seen at every launching pad'', sources said, adding they appeared to be the part of Pakistan's new strategy to force infiltration of held-up militants. Reports have suggested presence of more than 1000 militants opposite IB and Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region for last several months. These militants, mostly belonging to LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfits, were desperately trying to sneak into Indian territory but have been finding the going

Sentinel reports that another militant outfit masquerading as Hills Tiger Force (HTF) has appeared in Dima Hasao District. The report adds that floating of HTF cannot be viewed in isolation. With the naming of North Cachar Hills as Dima Hasao and as approved by the State Government, united voice of resentment and protest by various non Dimasa bodies has been raging across the District. These bodies of Zemes, Kukis, Karbis, Jaintias, Hmars, Vaipeis, Baetis and Hrangkhals have cried foul, apprehending discrimination by the Autonomous District Council and also an exercise to drive them out. They were cautioned if the earlier name of the District is not restored, it will again boil. The bandhs (general shut down) called by these organizations under the banner of Indigenous People’s Forum (IPF) over the issue of bifurcation of the District into two have already caused a sort of ethnic divide.

The Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) of the Uttar Pradesh Police (UPP) on June 4 arrested one Kanhaiya Lal Gupta in Siddhart Nagar District bordering Nepal after INR 100, 000 of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) was recovered from his possession, reports Times of India. Initial investigations have revealed that Gupta was actively working for the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and looking after the FICN segment through UP-Nepal border and had pumped in no less than INR10 million in FICN during the last 5 years. Investigators quoting initial revelations said that he has turned out to be the third important link in the FICN racket involving some important criminals like Vinod Jaiswal of Bhairawan Galla Mandi in Nepal and Yunus Ansari of Kathmandu -- the two topmost identified controllers of FICN racket in Nepal. During interrogation, Gupta revealed that he was a native of Gagaha village in Gorakhpur and was presently residing near Barmail Toll in Bhairhwan locality in Roopandehi District of Nepal. Though initially Gupta claimed that the FICN seized from him was printed and supplied by local gangs, but the ATS after screening the seized notes closely found that the paper used and the quality of ink and printing was nothing less than the factory printed currency being supplied by the ISI. Gupta subsequently confessed to his link with the ISI based in Nepal.

The Union Government declared the Indian Mujahideen (IM), suspected to be a shadow outfit of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), a terrorist outfit, reports The Hindu. The IM is reportedly involved in the serial bomb blasts in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore and Mumbai. It has been added to the list of terrorist groups under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. “An order has been issued adding the Indian Mujahideen and all its formations and front organisations to the list of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967,” the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on June 4. Under the Act, the Government has banned 34 groups and declared them terror outfits. The IM came to light after the February 23, 2005 blast in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh).

Intelligence agencies believe that the outfit is also a front group of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI).

The Security Forces (SFs) recovered four improvised explosive devices (IEDs), each weighing about 70 kilograms, and one can bomb weighing 25kg from Dungri Pahadi near Serangtoli village under Namkum Police Station, barely 20km from Ranchi, the Capital of Jharkhand on June 5, according to Telegraph. All the bombs were defused, except one IED the forces chose to explode. The explosives were hidden by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in a cave in Dungri Pahadi. South Chotanagpur Director General of Police (DIG) R.K. Mallick said the bombs were very powerful. "The four IEDs collectively had the power to blow up a fully protected anti-landmine vehicle," he explained. While the 25kg bomb was kept in a can, the IEDs were kept in separate boxes made of inch-thick steel. The IEDs were also coated with carbon, thus making them safe from metal detectors when planted under a road or a bridge. The IEDs and the can bomb were covered with plastic and hidden in the cave.

Assam Tribune quoting security agency sources reports that there are efforts by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) groups to make inroads in the Northeast. The report adds that the newly constituted Eastern Region Bureau of the CPI-Maoist had been entrusted with the task of establishing foothold in the Northeast. Sources said that the Eastern Region Bureau of the CPI-Maoist was initially entrusted with the responsibility of launching operations in the States of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and parts of Orissa. But recently, the Bureau had been given the additional responsibility of the Northeast region. The Bureau is headed by Prashanta Bose alias Kishanda, who is originally from West Bengal but now spends most of his time in Jharkhand. One person from Assam is also a member of the Bureau. Sources, however, refused to disclose his name and only said that he is from an area bordering West Bengal.

Telegraph reports that the ULFA is unlikely to formally express its willingness to sit for the proposed peace talks with the Government until Bangladesh hands over its ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia, despite the apparent desire of its leaders in Assam to start the process at the earliest. A section associated with the process said, ULFA leaders were convinced that inclusion of Chetia in the process would not only be a big boost to the fledgling initiative but would also send the right signal to its cadres and masses about “unity” in its rank and file. ULFA ‘publicity secretary’ Mithinga Daimary on June 7 said at Nalbari that Dispur’s insistence on a formal letter to start the process has become a dilemma for the outfit, which it would like to sort out in accordance with its constitution.

The National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Khaplang (NSCN-K) said that the Covenant of Reconciliation did not anoint National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah or anyone to represent the Nagas and create social unrest in Manipur and Nagaland, according to Nagaland Page. "It is wrong on the part of Nagas or Manipur state to solely believe in the wisdom of Th Muivah and some Civil Society leaders from Nagaland, on the question of integration of Naga areas into Nagaland albeit with a little help from the Government of India," the NSCN-K stated, adding, "No amount of pressuring Manipur Government, economic blockades or memorandum to GoI shall suffice." About the Autonomous District Council (ADC) elections in the Naga areas in Manipur, the NSCN-K stated that the unopposed winners are nephews and nieces of IM leaders. "It is not a mistake that in 2009, Tangkhul Naga Long pleaded with the GOI to make Ukhrul the summer capital of Manipur. Let those spearheading the social unrest in Manipur state realize that Nagas of Nagaland state are not fools. Beneath the façade of Hohos and Hahas lies the general public who knows who is confusing them. Those enjoying the benefits of two states i.e Manipur and Nagaland under the guise of National workers should not talk about the subject which is simply not theirs," the outfit said.

KMHR chairman, T. Lunkim said many human right activists would endorse Muivah’s birth right to return and visit his village Somdal, where his beloved family members, who have not seen you for the last 47 years would be happy to meet him face to face. However, Lunkim reminded Muivah about the past history where many innocent Kukis, “not criminals like him” were pulled out of buses at Mao gate by the NSCN-IM and butchered.

Pakistani born American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Headley has confirmed that LeT terrorists carried out the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai attack under the "guidance" of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports Times of India. Headley, who is being interrogated in the US by a team of Nation Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, has said that the notorious ISI was engaged with the LeT commanders responsible for the 26/11 carnage at "each and every stage of the plot". The account of the terrorist, who receed targets for LeT terrorists across the country, corroborates India's stand about the involvement of Pakistani State actors in terrorism, trains the spotlight on LeT-ISI tandem, and explains Pakistan's unwillingness to clamp down on the LeT leadership. Headley has mentioned serving officers of Pakistan Army — Major Sameer Ali, Major Iqbal and Major Haroon — as those who collaborated with the LeT terrorists. Major Sameer and Major Iqbal figured in the dossier India gave to Pakistani foreign secretary Salman Bashir. However, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram is to demand voice samples of seven LeT commanders including Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu Al Qama and others when he meets his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik during his visit to Islamabad for the conference of Home Ministers from South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region. Pakistan has so far refused to give voice samples which could help investigators ascertain the identity of those who instructed the 26/11 attackers as they went about their deadly assignment. Headley has also revealed how post-26/11, ISI wanted LeT to disown the Mumbai attack to turn the global attention away from the terror outfit that Pakistan considers to be an important strategic asset to be used against India. With Mohammad Ajmal ‘Kasab’ snared, and investigations by India and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) homing in its nexus with LeT, ISI planned to blame the carnage on al-Qaeda. It even prepared a list of 4-5 al-Qaeda figures who were to be projected as the conspirators. Headley also admitted that while he had started off as a LeT recruit, he started drifting towards al Qaeda under the influence of Major Abdul Rahman Saeed. Saeed, who served with 6 Baloch Regiment of Pakistan Army, took voluntary retirement in 2002 to devote himself full time to al Qaeda's cause. Headley, who respected Saeed for his "sacrifice", went high in the retired Major's esteem because of precise inputs he provided for the 26/11 attack.

We appeal to any SER official to contact us in case of any confusion regarding the running trains on the route rather than listening to the State government,” Akash reportedly told The Hindu over telephone from an undisclosed location. The statement comes following the suspension of services in the Maoist-affected Kharagpur-Tatanagar section on June 9 evening following an alert sounded by the Government Railway Police that the Maoists were planning to attack the Mumbai-Howrah Duronto Express.

A new outfit, Arunachal Naga Liberation Front (ANLF), has emerged in the Tirap District in May 2010, reports Telegraph. The National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has already been active in the District.

We are trying to find out if there is any possible link between the Khaplang faction of the NSCN and the ANLF.” The official said with the NSCN-K taking the KIA’s help and recruiting more youths in Changlang along with the emergence of the new outfit in Tirap District only indicate that the situation will turn more volatile in the days to come.

Andhra Pradesh Police raided a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hideout at Shapur village near Gulbarga in Karnataka on June 13 and seized Police uniforms, an AK-47 assault rifle loaded with 20 rounds and three spare magazines, a carbine machine gun with 70 bullets and three magazines, meant for use by a Naxal action team, five ICOMs and a GPS tracker set. The raid was carried out on the information provided by Chandrasekhar Gorebale alias Sudhakara alias Tippanna alias Nantappa, a cadre of the Karnataka State Committee of the CPI-Maoist, who was arrested at Aija village of Mahabubnagar District in Andhra Pradesh in the morning of June 13. Gorebale was guarding the hideout which was to be used by an Action Committee detailed to carry out an attack on a politician or a Police officer either in Hyderabad or in the Telangana Districts. Sources said the weapons and the Police uniforms were supplied to Gorebale between February and April [2010] and were to be picked by an action committee constituted by the Maoist Central Committee to carry out an assassination in Hyderabad. The seizure of Police uniforms indicated the Maoist plot to carry out a major assassination in Hyderabad or possibly in one of the Telangana Districts, a senior officer said. There have been two instances of Maoist cadres wearing Police uniforms carrying out assassinations in Andhra Pradesh. Two former legislators, S. Chinna Reddy (Anantapur) and Budda Vengal Redy (Kurnool), were killed by Maoists in late 90s.

Chandrasekhar Gorebale alias Sudhakara alias Tippanna alias Nantappa, a cadre of the Karnataka State Committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was arrested at Aija village of Mahabubnagar District in Andhra Pradesh in the morning of June 13, reported The Hindu.

Police suspect that the two who escaped could be Takkallapalli Vasudeva Rao alias Ashanna and Kanumukkula Ramesh alias Raju, known to be members of an Action Committee formed by the Maoist Central Committee. All the three cadres are members of the Maoist Military Commission and the Central Action Team. Police say Ashanna was involved in the killing of former State Home Minister A. Madhava Reddy in 2000 in a landmine blast near Ghatkesar village, about 50 kilometres from Hyderabad. He was also suspected to be involved in the attempt on the life of former Chief Minister N.

There is no let-up on Pakistan's part to send terrorists from across the border and 600-800 militants were waiting to infiltrate, said Northern Army Commander Lt General B S Jaswal, according to Daily Excelsior. He, however, added that the Army has succeeded in keeping the infiltrators at bay by adopting a three-pronged strategy. "There is no let-up on the part of Pakistan in trying to send across terrorists. But if you see the statistics this year, they have not been able to make any inroads," he stated. He said according to the statistics, 70 militants had infiltrated by this time last year [2009] while this year [2010], only 12 could infiltrate as per the assessment. Explaining the Army's strategy to prevent infiltration, Jaswal said, "First strategy is to ensure no one comes in. Second is the intelligence base and the third is the defence line and the anti-infiltration position".

A dirty war of supremacy has broken out between militant outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in Jammu and Kashmir, according to Daily Excelsior. In the past month or so, three top ‘commanders’ from LeT and HM have been killed in clashes between the two groups in Doda, Reasi and north Kashmir. The latest casualty is the LeT militant Manzoor alias Zuber, who was killed by HM militant Irfan Mushtaq. His dead body was found by the Security Forces on June 11. “A failure to get fresh recruits, drying up of funds and elimination of over 40 terrorists by Security Forces within four months has created a vacuum in the top leadership. This has triggered a fierce rivalry between the LeT and Hizbul, both of whom want to lose control of areas from where they get extortion money,” said Lieutenant Colonel Biplab Nath, defence spokesman at Jammu. Manzoor’s killing comes days after Chota Bashir was killed by his junior, Lateef, at Dessa village in Doda. The assassin was later arrested by Police, but sources said he had surrendered after killing his ‘commander’. “The desire to obtain a larger share of the money routed through hawala channels might be a motive behind the killing. Besides, there was an attempt to show who is mightier,” added Nath. Not only is friction growing between the two outfits, there is simmering tension between foreign and local militants. The Army says Basharat Saleem alias Shaheen, top militant ‘commander’ of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) had been killed by foreign militants. “He [Basharat] was killed allegedly because foreigners suspected him of having been in touch with Security Forces. He wasn’t in touch with the forces, but was killed on mere suspicion,” said Major General N George, General Officer Commanding Kilo (counter insurgency) Force.

With the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) issuing a fresh 48-hour bandh (general shut down) call starting on June 14, railways decided to run trains at 50 kilometres per hour (KMPH) in Maoist-affected areas and alerted its divisions across five States, reported Times of India. Indian Express adds that as per sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the 48-hour bandh called by Maoists in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Orissa was primarily prompted by the arrest of Maoist leaders Shambhu (Bihar) and Chandrasekhar Gorebale (Karnataka). Apart from this, say sources, the Maoists had also been rattled by other successes by Security Forces recently, including a raid by the Central reserve Police Force in Gaya (Bihar) jungles yielding a large amount of explosives and the destruction of a Maoist camp near the Jharkhand-Orissa border. The SFs have also arrested several Naxal leaders and activists recently.

More than 380 civilians have been killed by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in the first five months of this year {2010], with West Bengal bearing the most brunt, reports DNA. According to statistics compiled by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and circulated among affected States, Maoists killed approximately 600 people, including paramilitary and State Police personnel, between January 1 and May 30. The count was the highest in West Bengal at 291. Of these, 230 were civilians and the remaining state and central paramilitary personnel. An unnamed senior official in the West Bengal home department said the reason for the high casualty in the State was the recent Gyaneshwari Express sabotage that took 148 lives. Barring the Gyaneshwari victims, a majority of civilians killed by Maoists in Bengal were Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-Marxist) workers suspected to be Police informers. The second most casualties were in Chhattisgarh, where 202 people were killed by the Maoists in the said period. The civilian toll in the State, however, was comparatively low at 91. Jharkhand and Orissa lost 50 people each to the Maoist menace. Of these, 34 and 30 were civilians.

Only about 500 insurgents, about 40 percent of them foreign militants, are still active in Jammu and Kashmir, said Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda, reports IANS. "There are about 500 militants presently active in Jammu and Kashmir and their number has come down from 700-800 last year and around 1,000 in 2008," Khoda said. The DGP said 40 percent of these militants were foreigners, mostly from Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PoK). He said the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) - the terror outfits that have bases in Pakistan - were active in the State. "The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen is more in a supportive role to the LeT but it depends on the plans conceived across (the border)," he said. Khoda said the overall security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir was improving and there was a drop in violence in the last three years. "There was a 20 percent drop in violence in 2007 which improved to 28 percent in 2008 and 30 percent in 2009," he said. The last year [2009], Khoda added, also saw the lowest number of civilian deaths in militancy-related incidents. However, he maintained that there was no let-up in incursion attempts by militants from across the border with security forces. "Infiltration is going on though not to the extent as it was last year. Going by the (infiltration) bids made, there is no change in attitude of handlers across the border who want to push in infiltrators," he said. According to Khoda, Security Forces (SFs) had been able to curb militant incursion mainly due to better border management. Khoda said Pakistan continued to support militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir. "Terrorists are coming or attempts are being made to infiltrate and they are getting training, equipment, funding... Militants trying to cross over do not face obstructions from Pakistani security forces but were, instead, provided covering fire. All this points to the direct role (of the Pakistan establishment)," he said. According to official data, a little less than 500 terror incidents were reported in 2009 in which 239 militants, 71 civilians and 79 SF personnel were killed. In 2008, 339 militants, 91 civilians and 85 SF were killed in 708 militancy incidents.

They also attended the proceedings of a Maoist kangaroo court," Verma added. An unnamed senior police officer said, "The city-based group and some other members of the forum had close links with Maoists.

Several Afghanistan and international intelligence officials and diplomats stationed in Kabul have confirmed that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), with the help of the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), has expanded its anti-India operations into Afghanistan and set up training camps, adding new volatility to the relationship between New Delhi and Islamabad, quoting The New York Times, reports ANI. The LeT is believed to have planned or executed three major attacks against Indian Government employees and private workers in Afghanistan in recent months, officials said. Pakistan maintains that it no longer supports or assists the LeT, responsible for the ghastly November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, but its expanded activities in Afghanistan, particularly against Indian targets, prompt suspicions that it has become one of Pakistan's proxies to counteract India's influence in the war ravaged country, The New York Times reports. "Our concern is that there are still players involved that are trying to use Afghanistan's ground as a place for a proxy war," said Shaida Abdali, Afghanistan's deputy National Security Adviser. "It is being carried out by certain State actors to fight their opponents," Abdali added. Experts are of the view that now the LeT presents more of a threat in Afghanistan than even al Qaeda does. There were a few LeT cells in Afghanistan three or four years ago, but they were not focused on Indian targets and, until recently, their presence seemed to be diminishing, the report said. Pakistani analysts, in a recent testimony to the US Congress, described the LeT as a terror group 'having ambitions well beyond India.' "They are active now in six or eight provinces. They are currently most interested in Indian targets here, but they can readily trade attacks on international targets for money or influence or an alliance with other groups," a senior NATO intelligence official, who spoke on conditions of anonymity said. Afghan Interior Minister Hanif Atmar, who recently resigned following an altercation with President Hamid Karzai, also confirmed that the attackers, who targeted Indians during the deadly car bombing and suicide attack on two guesthouses in the heart of Kabul in February 26, 2010 were "not Afghans." "They were not Afghans," Atmar said. "What we know for sure is that it was planned, financed, organized, and that people trained for it, outside Afghanistan," he added. "Over the past six months more than four attacks in Kabul had suicide bombers with telephones that we recovered with active numbers that were from Pakistan," Atmar informed.

The number of tribals, especially from Naxal (Left Wing Extremist)-affected States who are migrating either inside or outside the State, have reduced, indicates a Government survey released on June 15, reports Hindustan Times. National Sample Survey Organisation’s (NSSO) study on Migration in India revealed that the migration of tribals is very low from rural areas of Naxal-affected states such as Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa as compared to non-Naxal-affected tribal States. The migration-prone households in Chhattisgarh are 1.9 per cent, in Jharkhand 0.8 percent and 1.3 per cent in Orissa. In comparison, the number of such households in tribal-dominated States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Manipur was 4 per cent, 3.8 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively. However, the survey does not give reasons for fall in migration in tribal areas especially.

A batch of youngsters from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala are presently undergoing militant training in Kacharban in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant has told his interrogators in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Express Buzz. The HM militant Muhammed Ashraf of Budgam in Jammu and Kashmir was arrested by troops of 40 Rashtriya Rifles when he was trying to enter the Indian Territory from Nallah Ban post in Mandi subsector in Poonch District in May 2010. According to officials, who interrogated Ashraf over the last several days, told Express Buzz over phone from Jammu and Kashmir that about 24 youth belonging to the southern States were lodged in a few quarters in PoK and were receiving militant training. ``Those from Dakkan have been lodged separately at Kacharban where the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] has its training camp. The youngsters from JK [Jammu and Kashmir] who are in large numbers are not allowed to meet those from the Dakkan and they are being trained under the supervision of five Lashkar commanders,'' sources, quoting Ashraf, said. However, Ashraf, who has spent several years in various training camps in PoK, did come to know from some of his handlers that most of the youngsters from south India are either having links with the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) or Indian Mujahideen (IM), responsible for bomb blasts across the country. Sources further said that the youth from this part of the country are in the age group of 18 to 28 and most of them reached PoK either through Nepal or Bangladesh. Ashraf also told the interrogators that the youth are presently being trained in handling of sophisticated weapons and bomb making. He also revealed that there are 20 more youngsters from Gujarat and Maharashtra. However, as per the Police records available with the Hyderabad city Police, there are 22 men who are missing and the Police suspect that they have joined militant ranks.

The death toll increased to 12 in the encounter that occurred between the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and joint forces in the West Midnapore District on June 16. Earlier, it was reported that eight Maoists were killed. "Twelve Maoists were killed by the joint forces. It is a major success. We found eight bodies. We have information that four of the bodies were carried away by Maoists while many more were injured," Director General of Police (DGP) Bhupinder Singh told reporters in Kolkata, according to PTI. "Acting on a tip off that 40 to 45 Maoists had gathered at Duli village near Ranja forest in Salboni Police Station area, a team of commandos and Special Forces of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Police closed in," the DGP said., adding, "When the Maoists opened fire, the forces retaliated." The NDTV, however, put the death toll at 13. Police sources said that five of the eight Maoists killed were been identified as Arjun (a close associate of Maoist leaders Bikash and Tara), Sagen, Mala, Radha and Lakshmi (who is suspected to have played a major role during the massacre of 24 Eastern Frontier Rifles personnel at Silda on February 15), adds The Hindu. The sources said that based on intelligence inputs received from the Jharkhand Police, it was suspected that top Maoist leader Akash was also killed during the encounter. According to Police sources, the Security Forces had raided the area three days ago [June 13] also but the Maoists had managed to escape. Indian Express adds that the Maoist squad was led by Maoist State Committee member for Bengal-Jharkhand-Orissa region and ‘commander’ of the Lalgarh squad Bikash. He was said to have escaped, using his cadres as a shield. “It was to ensure Bikash’s safe passage that the Maoist squad took such heavy casualty,” said an unnamed security official involved in the operation. Maoist casualties confirmed that Bikash’s Lalgarh squad was joined by cadres from Jharkhand. One of the bodies found was that of Arjun Munda, a Jharkhand Maoist. Another was of Sagen Mahato, a Maoist from Lalgarh.

The first additional chief metropolitan magistrate on June 16 has ordered a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Abdul Nasar Madani, in connection with the July 25, 2008 Bangalore serial bomb blasts case, reports Times of India. The court has issued body warrant against two more accused in the case — Tadinyandavaeeda Naseer and Safaz — who are now lodged in a Kerala jail. Police sources said that a team would leave for Kerala to get custody of Naseer and Safaz. With Madani’s supporters warning of consequences if their leader was arrested, Kerala Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram on June 16 that necessary steps would be taken to maintain law and order. Earlier on June 11, Bangalore Police filed an additional charge sheet in the court against Madani and five others. In the chargesheet, Madani was reported to be absconding. The judge admitted the charge sheet on June 16. However, it will take some time for Police to take the NBW from the court and execute it. Cops said they would take the NBW only after some groundwork is completed. The case hearing is on June 23. Since the trial is yet to begin, the accused have to be produced before the magistrate.

In the 11th dossier handed over to Pakistan since the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) terrorist attacks, India, on June 18 has provided details on the 34 terrorists, including fugitives who have been recruited by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) combine to launch terror attacks as part of the Karachi Project, in the form suggested by Pakistan, reports Times of India. India gave Pakistan the full copy of the Mumbai trial, a copy of the verdict, the charge sheets, evidence presented and used, and confessional statements. Pakistan had asked India for all of these in its last dossier. The LeT chief Hafiz Saeed evidence, Indian officials feel, is crucial. Although nobody was willing to confirm it, it's believed the Indians have got this from the LeT operative David Headley interrogations. "The deputy high commissioner of Pakistan was called in the afternoon and handed over a set of responses to the six dossiers received from Pakistan on April 25, 2010 on the Mumbai terror attacks," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said.

Protesting the inclusion of Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] issue under the realm of an "armed conflict" in a United Nations (UN) report India told the UN that the violence being perpetrated by these groups does not make it a zone of armed conflict as defined by international law, according to PTI. Referring to the recent UN report that deals with 'Children and armed conflicts', India's envoy to UN Hardeep Singh Puri told UN Security Council that operations of the Naxal groups did not fall into the realm of an "armed conflict". "At the outset I should make clear that the violence being perpetrated by these groups though completely abhorrent and condemnable, certainly does not make this a zone of armed conflict as defined by international law," he said. "We, therefore, cannot accept reporting on these incidents as falling within the mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict," he said, referring to top UN official Radhika Coomaraswamy. The report, which is produced by the office of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and submitted to the UN Security Council, highlighted the recruitment and use of children by the Naxals in some Districts of the Chhattisgarh. "The Naxals have admitted that children were used only as messengers and informers but have admitted that children were provided with training to use non-lethal and lethal weapons including landmines," the report said. It also described the incident, in which Naxalites forced villagers to provide five boys and girls for their armed group in October 2009, and stated that the Jharkhand Police had vacated 28 of 43 schools in Naxal-affected areas of the State and was in the process of vacating 13 more.

Police on June 20 arrested a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant who is the main accused in the 2000 blast in a bus near Agra (Uttar Pradesh) that killed two passengers and injured 15 others, reports Hindustan Times. Yusuf Mohammed was arrested from Nuh village in Mewat District of Haryana and brought to Agra in Uttar Pradesh later in the day in connection with the blast at Peeli Pokhar near Khandauli, around 20 kilometres from here.

He also said that Yusuf had several relatives in Pakistan and one of them had introduced him to Arif, who is closely connected with the LeT. In March, 2000, Yusuf had planned to carry out a blast at a bus stand near Agra Fort, for which he carried out a rehearsal by planting a bomb in a bus which exploded at Peeli Pokhar. Some believe that it was not a rehearsal. "The bomb for some reason exploded before reaching its target," a Police official said.

The anti-talks faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) is planning to trigger off explosions in different parts of the State to show its strength, while the Security Forces (SFs) are being kept on high alert to thwart such a move after receiving inputs in this regard, reports Assam Tribune. Police said that Guwahati city was considered most vulnerable to possible NDFB attacks, while the other major towns in the north bank of the Brahmaputra including Tezpur were also considered vulnerable. There is no dearth of explosives for the NDFB and the outfit has the expertise of making powerful Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The Police said that the strength of the outfit would be around 300 and the ‘zonal commanders’ were taking most of the decisions on their own after the arrest of NDFB ‘chief’ Ranjan Daimary. The outfit is still maintaining its bases in the Khagrachari area of Bangladesh, while the newly set up bases of the outfit in Myanmar are being maintained with the help of Manipur-based Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL). The NDFB still have a number of trained cadres as 26 batches of boys were trained in Bangladesh since 2004 and a number of trained militants are still at large, which is a major concern for the SFs. The outfit is also trying to strengthen its batches in the north bank of the river Brahmaputra and the SFs are handicapped by the fact that there is very little intelligence input about the movements of the militants.

In its meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi slated for on June 21 (today) to explore the possibility of opening peace talks with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the six-member steering committee of the Sanmilita Jatiya Abhivartan (SJA) led by Hiren Gohain would raise the issue of release of the jailed ULFA leaders so as to enable the outfit to take a decision of peace talks with the Government, sources said, according to Sentinel. The sources also said that the SJA team might also appeal to the Prime Minister to put on hold all cases against the jailed ULFA leaders till the peace talks were over, but there were no likelihood of the delegation raising the demand for talks on ‘sovereignty’ as a member of the delegation had told newsmen in Guwahati before leaving for New Delhi that he personally did not support talks on sovereignty.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) leader Thuingaleng Muivah arrived at Pughoboto in Zunheboto District on June 21 to consult different sections of society to carry the Naga peace process forward, reports Nagaland Post. The apex tribal council, Sumi Hoho, had opposed Muivah’s visit at this stage because NSCN-IM had made certain adverse remarks against it including banning the Sumi Hoho. The council cautioned that if some unfortunate incident occurred during his visit, the Hoho should not be held responsible. The people of Pughoboto, led by the District gaonburhas (village heads) union, however, welcomed Muivah when he arrived from Jotsoma, Police sources said. He is likely to stay for next few days at Pughoboto, the home town of NSCN-IM ‘chairman’ Isak Chishi Swu.

The rising number of Pakistan linked terrorist plots in the United States largely stem from Islamabad's (Pakistan) continued support to some anti-India extremist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), blamed for the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, indicates the report released on June 21 by the RAND Corp, Hindustan Times reported. "The country's acquisition of nuclear weapons emboldened its support to militant groups by dampening concerns of retaliation by India," the report mentioned. Seth G. Jones, the study's co-author and a political scientist at RAND said, "A number of militant networks-including al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad [JeM]-remain entrenched in Pakistan and pose a grave threat to the state and the region." In addition to al Qaeda, numerous foreign and domestic militant groups have established networks in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) currently known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other areas of Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad, the suspect in the attempted Times Square car bombing, reportedly had ties to several groups, such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Haqqani network, the study notes. Researchers suggest the United States should restrict some military assistance to Pakistan until the nation ends its support of militant groups operating on its soil. Further, Jones and co-author Christine Fair of Georgetown University say that Pakistan's Army and the Frontier Corps have failed to demonstrate a consistent ability to clear and hold territory for long periods. While Pakistan has undertaken a number of operations against insurgent groups since 2001, the study finds the successes are short-lived and do not address the long-term threat. The Pakistan Army and the Frontier Corps forces have had some recent successes, however. This includes efforts during Operation Sher Dil (Lion’s Heart) in 2008 (Bajaur region), Operation Rah-e-Rast (Path to Truth) in 2009 (Swat region) and Operation Rah-e-Nijat (Path to Salvation) in 2009 and 2010 (South Waziristan region), the report finds. "Yet even with this success, Pakistan's efforts are thwarted by its decision to support some militant groups. In recent months, there appear to be changes in Pakistan's policy as evidenced in the capture of senior Taliban leaders such as Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. But it remains unclear whether Pakistani leaders have made a systematic break with militant groups, the report finds.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recommended death penalty for 2001 Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru in its report submitted to the President, sources said, reports Times of India. The Union Government has asked Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s Office) mercy petition, Times Now quoted sources as saying. Afzal was awarded the death sentence by a local court on December 18, 2002, after being convicted of conspiracy to attack Parliament on December 13, 2001. The death sentence was upheld by Delhi high court on October 29, 2003. He had then appealed against it in the Supreme Court, which rejected it on August 4, 2005. A sessions court had also fixed the date of his hanging on October 20, 2006, in Tihar Jail. His wife Tabassum filed a mercy petition with the Rashtrapati Bhavan four years ago. According to IANS, the sources said that the mercy petition was sent to the MHA for its view and it returned the file last week, rejecting the plea because of the heinous nature of the crime. With the MHA recommending that the plea be rejected, it is now up to the President to take a call on the fate of Guru, exercising her powers under Article 72 of the Constitution, IANS reported.

The basic thing is that we all want peace, that’s all.”

The Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan held talks in Islamabad on June 24, reports Times of India. India's Foreign Secretary, Nirupama Rao, and her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir held a joint press conference after concluding one-on-one talks and a meeting along with their teams to craft the agenda for a meeting of their foreign ministers on July 15, 2010. “We have sorted out to understand each other’s position. We had a comprehensive, sustained and meaningful dialogue which will go a long way to bridge the trust deficit between the two countries,” Nirupama Rao said. We discussed all issues, obviously our core concerns on terrorism were also articulated, she added. “The issue relating terrorism was of course one of the principal topic during the talks. And both the countries will have to work in sync to eliminate the menace,” she stressed. She said that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had assured his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh in Thimphu in April 2010 that Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for terrorist activities against India. Rao said that both countries had to work together to deny militants the opportunity to sabotage their dialogue. “We should jointly work together towards our goal of resolution of outstanding issues and also to dealing with the dangers, with the threat, with the evils of terrorism,” she said. “We must deny terrorist elements any opportunity to derail the process of improvement of relations between our two countries,” she said. However, Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told the press conference that Pakistan and India should work towards restoring confidence and building trust with a view to making it possible to have a comprehensive, sustained and meaningful dialogue. “After this engagement, I feel much more optimistic about a good outcome at the ministerial level and good prospects for the two countries in terms of our relationship.” Indian and Pakistani Foreign Ministers S.M. Krishna and Shah Mehmood Qureshi are scheduled to meet in Islamabad on July 15, 2010 which will be the third major contact between officials of India and Pakistan within four weeks. Further, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi described the Pakistan-India foreign secretary-level talks as a step forward in resuming the stalled peace process. “I think dialogue is a step forward. It’s an important development. We should build on this development,” Qureshi said after Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir and his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao concluded their talks.

Ahead of Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s visit to Islamabad on June 25 (today) to attend the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Interior Ministers' conference apart from holding a bilateral meeting with his Pakistan counterpart Rehman Malik, the Government has put the country on high alert following intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based terrorists, who are against any thaw in Indo-Pak relations, may strike in a desperate bid to derail the ongoing peace process, reports Times of India. Sources said the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an advisory asking all States to step up vigil and take all precautionary measures to ensure security as Pakistan-based outfits, who are opposed to any dialogue between India and Pakistan, may strike at public places in the coming days. The countrywide alert was prompted by intelligence inputs that the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had asked Indian terrorists — Khalistani militants as well as those belonging to Indian Mujahideen (IM) — to attempt mass casualty terrorist attacks. Shopping malls and public transport system have been marked as high-priority targets for terrorists being activated as the ISI tried to subvert the effort to revive dialogue. The alert came considering the fact that terrorists struck at a public place in Pune just days before the February 25, 2010 foreign secretary-level talks between India and Pakistan and at a time when Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao, Home Secretary G.K. Pillai and Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Rajiv Mathur are in Islamabad for crucial talks on various issues, primarily terrorism. "We have sent an alert to all states and are taking all necessary measures. There is a possibility that Pak-based elements may try to carry out a terror strike in the country," a senior MHA official said.

PTI reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is now raising specially trained small teams to eliminate leaders of various political parties across the country. The central committee of the CPI-Maoist at a recent meeting has decided to raise "action teams" in all States dominated by them to target political leaders and workers, a Union Home Ministry official said quoting intelligence inputs. He said the Maoists were planning to launch the attack in both rural and semi-urban areas in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. "Apprehending threat, many political leaders in the areas dominated by the Maoists have started resigning from their respective political parties," the official said. Besides, the policy-making body of the CPI-Maoist also directed its cadres to target any vehicle used by security personnel even if civilians travel along with them, he said.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram met his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik and is understood to have pressed for urgent action against Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) over ground organisation Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) and 26/11 handlers, including those who are believed to be in the Pakistani Army, reports The Hindu. Chidambaram sought voice samples of the Pakistani handlers and raised issues like infiltration on the border of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistanis who have infiltrated and are indulging in militant activities. Speaking to reporters accompanying him in the special aircraft, Chidambaram said he will not say anything that will cast a shadow on the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Home Ministers’ Meeting, which is primary engagement in Islamabad. He said he will tell Pakistan “politely, but firmly” that the time has come to address issues concerning the Mumbai attacks. “I will use the opportunity to bring home to Pakistan gravity of issues and the need for response that is appropriate to the gravity of the situation,” he said. “It has been 18 months since I took over. The time has come to address these issues (regarding Mumbai attacks) with seriousness that they warrant. That is what I am going to tell them politely, but firmly,” Chidambaram said. Meanwhile, Times of India adds that Chidambaram met Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Islamabad. The Union Home Minister in an exclusive interview to Times Now just before his departure for Pakistan said India was unlikely to share leads with Pakistan about terror plots emanating from the neighbouring country. "If we tell them (Pakistan) what we have gathered about what some people are doing in that country, that would completely compromise our intelligence gathering, isn't it?" said Chidambaram.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that there are some elements “wedded to terrorism” outside India, including in Canada, who try to keep the issue of Sikh militancy alive and asked Ottawa to curb such anti-India activities from its soil, reports PTI. “Sikh extremism, separatism and militancy were a problem in India more than two decades ago. Today, Punjab is at peace and there is growth and prosperity. There are, however, some elements outside India, including in Canada, who try to keep this issue alive for their own purposes. In many cases, such elements have links to or are themselves wedded to terrorism,” Singh, who is in Toronto to attend the G-20 Summit, told the Toronto Star in an interview. Dr. Singh, a Sikh himself, asked Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in at least two of his three bilateral meetings, to crack down on Sikh extremists in Canada, the newspaper said. “Their activities are a reason for both Governments — in India and in Canada — to be concerned. We have sensitised the Canadian authorities in this matter. We have been pointing out that Sikh extremism in Canada, which has no support in India, is not good for Canada.” Singh added. Responding to a question on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Singh said, “It is not correct to say that India has failed to bring the perpetrators of the 1984 attacks on Sikhs in New Delhi to justice.”

In a disclosure, November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) accused David Coleman Headley told the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in May 2010 that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are virtually inseparable as far as the pan-Islamic terror agenda is concerned, reports Times of India. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram used the NIA dossier detailing Headley's disclosures to drive home the point that stringent measures are needed against terrorist groups operating with impunity from Pakistani soil. The NIA dossier, which establishes the virtual closing of ranks between LeT and ISI, clearly indicates that both are acting independently of the Government and pose a threat to Pakistan's governance. It took two days of persuasion for Headley to waive his right to silence under US law and detail every meeting he had with his LeT handlers, including Hafiz Saeed and Sajid Mir, and ISI officials in Muzzaffarabad and Lahore before the 26/11 attacks. Sources said that Headley told the NIA team comprising Loknath Behera, Swayamprakash Pani, Sajid Shapoo and special prosecutor Dayan Krishnan that his reconnaissance missions and its results were closely and jointly monitored by LeT and ISI before he received fresh instructions. The 11th dossier, which India handed over to Pakistan on June 18, contained every statement by Headley, who spoke for seven to eight hours every day, continuously for eight days.

A large number of evening walkers and children had a narrow escape as the militants triggered a powerful explosion in the Pritam Park at Parade Ground in Poonch town in the evening of June 29, reports Daily Excelsior. The local improvised device had been planted in basement of a ‘saroo’ tree without digging the land to ensure that it was not detected by the evening walkers and children who start gathering at the park near District Hospital at 6.30pm every day. The blast, however, took place at 5.55pm. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP, Poonch) Manmohan Singh told Daily Excelsior that the explosive device, though locally made, was very powerful and capable of causing casualties. A Chinese remote control device was recovered from the site of explosion by Police which indicated that the blast was triggered with remote control by the militant(s), the SSP Poonch said.

Imphal Free Press reports that doctors and staffs of the Regional Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) demonstrated inside the hospital campus on June 29, in protest against frequent harassment meted out to RIMS staffs and doctors by insurgent groups. Due to threats and mental harassment meted out by the Military Council faction of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), a doctor belonging to the Radiotherapy Department of the RIMS left the State in apprehension for 15 days. The absence of the doctor has adversely effected the treatment of more than 400 plus cancer patients, said Medical Superintendent of RIMS, Y. Mohen, adding that some extortionist in guise of insurgents are operating from the Jails and are using widows to extract ransom. One such widow was arrested by the Police nearby the residence of a RIMS doctor a few days back and in the aftermath of the incident, the group has been pressuring the doctor that it was due to doctor’s information that the cadre was arrested. The outfit has been pressuring the doctor that the arrested women should be released and all the necessary court proceedings must be borne by the doctor himself, Mohen disclosed.

In an interview to Times of India Army Chief General V. K. Singh said, "I feel there is a great requirement for political initiatives which take all the people forward together. Militarily, we have brought the overall internal security situation in J&K [Jammu and Kashmir] firmly under control." He, however, said, "The terror infrastructure in Pakistan remains intact. There are, after all, 34 'active' and eight 'holding' terror-training camps still operational across the border. Moreover, an estimated 500-600 terrorists are still active within J&K, with close to 50% of them being of 'foreign origin'. Then, we have inputs that efforts are being made to revive tanzeems (militant outfits) like Hizb-ul-Mujahideen [HM], which have suffered a lot in our operations." The Pakistan Army also remains steadfast in its 'Kashmir agenda', resorting to its old policy of giving 'covering or distracting fire' to help militants sneak across the Line of Control (LoC). "Infiltration attempts continue... great amount of efforts are being made to send militants into J&K. But we have strong and dynamic anti-infiltration and anti-terror grids in place," said the Army chief. Given all this, it's 'slightly premature' to go in for more de-induction of soldiers from J&K. He also reiterated his opposition to demands to either 'withdraw' or 'dilute' the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from J&K, holding that 'adequate measures' have been instituted at all levels to ensure it's not misused.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on June 29 asserted that that the situation obtaining in the parts of the Valley was not a simple law and order problem, reports Times of India. "It is a battle of wits, battle of ideas and ideologies. I can understand the anger of the people (over the loss of innocent lives) but some vested interests and anti-national elements have come together who are exploiting vulnerable and emotional youths, who are brought to the forefront of the stone-pelting incidents." He said the scenes of violence playing out in the Valley seemed to be part of a well thought out conspiracy to shift the disturbances from North Kashmir to South Kashmir. "Sopore is better today but Anantnag has erupted. Why did it not happen when the incident at Sopore took place?" he asked. "I appeal people not to violate curfew, not to engage Security Forces by pelting stones. Parents should not allow their children to go out of their homes during curfew, they should prevent them from indulging in stone-pelting," he added. Further, The Hindu quoted him as saying, “We have seen locals beating the uniformed personnel mercilessly, so in retaliation, these things can happen,” adding, that “do not expect the security forces to observe much restraint in this situation. People should not take the law into their hands or target the CRPF [Central Reserve Police Force] time and again.” Further, announced curfew in disturbed areas in North and South of Kashmir valley to bring deteriorating law and order situation under control saying, “Curfew has been imposed in some parts of North Kashmir and some parts in South Kashmir, where disturbances have occurred, will be brought under curfew. People should respect curfew and cooperate with the Government's efforts to restore peace in the Valley."

Times Now quoting fresh warning from intelligence agencies reports that Indian missions in Bangladesh and Nepal are under threat from a possible terror attack from Pakistani terrorist outfits. The alert suggests the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) are planning to attack Indians working on different projects in Bangladesh and could try and create a hostage like situation. A similar threat also looms on the Indian mission in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Indian Government has already spoken to the Sheikh Hasina Government in Bangladesh and is even mulling use of Indian Security Forces to guard foreign missions. After the alert from the agencies, sources said that the threat perception has been communicated to Dhaka already and India has been assured full assistance. Meanwhile the Government is contemplating a security review of missions in Bangladesh and Nepal. Indian forces may be used to man these foreign missions under threat. “We do not deny any potential threat to our missions abroad. In this case, the matter has been taken up with the Bangladeshi Government and has been assured full assistance. The government of India is also thinking of a security review soon in Bangladesh and Nepal to decide whether the missions should be manned by Indian forces in these two locations. Intelligence agencies have communicated that the threat is from LeT and HuJI,” Government sources said.

Twenty-six personnel of the 39 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed in a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ambush in Narayanpur District on June 29, reports The Hindu. “At present we can confirm only 26 deaths,” said CRPF Inspector-General Vijay Raman. He said, “We shall be in a position to give a final figure only once all the troops returned to the camp.” “We also lost a CRPF officer, Assistant Commandant Gulati, in the ambush,” said another source in CRPF intelligence, adding that “the toll was expected to rise.” Meanwhile, Chhattisgarh Director General of Police Viswa Ranjan said on June 30 (today) that around 15 Maoists may have been killed in the encounter that followed the ambush but the bodies of the Maoists have not been found. About 70 CRPF personnel were conducting a Road Opening Operation (ROP) on foot on the Narayanpur-Orcha road when the attack occurred. At least two critically injured Policemen were evacuated to Jagdalpur by helicopter. Sources said the attack took place near a hilly stretch known as the Jhadha Ghati, three kilometres from Dhudhai. According to a PTI report, Maoist fighters opened fire from a hilltop as the soldiers were returning from their patrol. “A large number of Maoist fighters surrounded the rear section of the CRPF party and opened fire,” said a source. The Narayanpur-Orcha road is considered the gateway to Abujhmad, a 4000-square kilometre forested area that has been declared a “liberated zone” by the Maoists. Local journalists in Narayanpur said the attack occurred in the backdrop of a two-day five-state bandh (shut down) beginning June 30 (today) called by the Maoists.

Pakistan on June 30 rejected allegations levelled by Indian Army Chief General V.K. Singh about the existence of terrorist training camps in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), reports Daily Times. Responding to the Indian Army Chief's statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Abdul Basit termed the remarks "baseless and self-serving." "Terrorism is a global and regional issue. Pakistan's own concerns vis-a-vis India in this regard have been amply conveyed. Both sides have agreed to discuss the issue of terrorism and to address this matter in a cooperative and pragmatic manner," he said. Recently, he said the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Interior Ministers' meeting in Islamabad adopted an important statement on the fight against terrorism. An unnamed Foreign Office official said that the remarks of the Indian Army chief showed that there were "differences" between the Indian political and military leaderships. "The recent statement of the Indian army chief has compelled us to think about the dual Indian attitude. We cannot rule out the possibility that differences have surfaced between the civilian and military leadership of India over dialogue with Pakistan," he said.

Times of India reports that Maoists-sponsored bandh has become a regular feature in Bihar with as many as 19 bandhs called by the Maoists in the State in 2010 alone. These exclude the 48-hour bandh called by them from June 29-midnight against "anti-people policies of the Central government". According to figures compiled by the Bihar Police, the State during the past six months saw bandhs called by the Maoists on 38 days. In terms of hours - the Maoists usually give call for 24, 48 or 72 hours - they enforced bandh for 912 hours from January to June. The Maoists called bandh for four days in three phases in January, for six days in four phases in February, for six days in three phases in March, for a day in April and for 10 days in four phases each in May and June. An unnamed railway official estimated losses to the tune of a whopping INR 10 crore due to Maoist attacks on the railways' properties on each bandh day. A somewhat similar loss is incurred by the State Government, an unnamed Government official said and explained the Maoists destroyed Police pickets, school buildings, roads and bridges during such bandhs. Totalled, the loss comes to INR 740 crore, INR 370 crore each to the railways and the State Government, during the past six months.

With the recovery of one more dead body of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper on June 30 the death toll in the ambush by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Narayanpur District increased to 27, reports The Hindu. "The toll has risen from 26 fatalities to 27," Superintendent of Police Rahul Bhagat said. On June 30, search parties located the dead body of Neeraj Kumar, a CRPF trooper, who went missing after the ambush. "The ambush occurred at 1.30 pm," Bhagat added. "We lost one assistant commandant of the CRPF, two sub-inspectors and eight head constables." The Police are yet to ascertain the exact number of weapons lost, but sources told The Hindu that "it is expected to cross 20." The sources said most of the CRPF personnel were carrying INSAS and Self Loading Rifles. Meanwhile, a company of 100 soldiers from the specialised Combat Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) squad of the CRPF was deployed in the forests surrounding the Dhaudai Police Station, where the incident occurred, as combing operations intensified in Narayanpur District. IBN Live adds that an Andhra Pradesh-based Maoist group claimed responsibility for the Narayanpur ambush on the CRPF personnel. The outfit said the attack was carried out to avenge Operation Green Hunt.

With their arms supply lines drying up, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Chhattisgarh have staged a series of attacks on paramilitary troopers in the last three months primarily to snatch their weapons, E.N. Rammohan, a former Director General of Border Security Force (BSF) told IANS. Rammohan said on June 30, "They want weapons. During the course of my inquiry into the (April 6) Dantewada ambush, I had told the Police authorities in New Delhi and Raipur that the Maoists may unleash fresh attacks. The primary reason for Tuesday's [June 29] attack was snatching weapons from the Security Forces. Earlier, the Andhra Pradesh unit of the Maoists got some AK-47 rifles from the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). Some of these might have reached the Chhattisgarh Maoists. They had also got some grenades from the Nepal Maoists. But now, all their sources appear to have dried up. That is why they are attacking the Security Forces to procure weapons. He also noted that 'the case of the Maoists in central India is a peculiar one'. "Kashmiri militants get weapons from Pakistan while the northeast ultras get it from China and Bangladesh. With no international arms channels or bazars nearby, the Maoists have to rely on attacks on Security Forces and pilferage to acquire weapons," the former BSF chief said.
