The Centre on November 1, maintained that there is enough material on record for extending the ban on the militant outfit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for another two years from May 14, 2010 under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, according to The Hindu. Additional Solicitor-General (ASG) A.S. Chandhikok made this submission before Justice Vikramajit Sen of the Delhi High Court, who constitutes the one-man tribunal hearing arguments on the validity of the notification extending the ban. The ASG read out material to show that LTTE leaders, operatives and supporters had been inimically opposed to India's policy on their organisation, and the outfit continued its unlawful activities, using remnant cadres as well as local smugglers and pro-LTTE operatives for procuring explosives, detonators, chemicals and ammunition. Various cases registered against LTTE cadres, sympathisers and agents under the Act and other provisions of law would amply prove that the outfit, though based in Sri Lanka, had sympathisers, supporters and agents in India to carry out unlawful acts for the organisation, he pointed out. The ASG also observed that clandestine support was being extended to the LTTE by Sri Lankan Tamils who entered India in the guise of refugees and indulged in smuggling of even narcotic drugs to raise money for their activities.

Times of India on November 2 reports that the Pakistani American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley revealed to the interrogators of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in June that had the 26/11 attackers landed during the day on Mumbai's coast, the Mumbai Police headquarters at Crawford Market would have also been attacked on the first day of the carnage. However, since 10 Pakistani militants including Ajmal Kasab, the lone arrested attacker, landed ashore in the night of November 26 they moved to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) as per the alternate plan. Headley also told the Indian sleuths that originally, 13 militants, including an Indian national (possibly from Maharashtra) who was considered a good "asset", were trained for the attack, but the LeT commander Sajid Majid later dropped three of them from the mission. During his questioning, Headley also gave details of LeT’s attack on Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore where an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) professor M C Puri was killed on December 28, 2005. He told the NIA team that the entire operation was executed by LeT's ‘commander’ Abu Hamza. Another terrorist Abdul Aziz had supervised this operation in December 2005. He further mentioned that during his training programmes he was shown CDs of atrocities on Indian Muslims including videos of Gujarat riots and hate speeches of right wing Hindu leader Babu Bajrangi.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) can be withdrawn from some areas in the State with a rider that the Army could step in again if the situation so warranted, according to Daily Excelsior. "I think the time has come where we can start to objectively look at areas from where the AFSPA can be removed with the understanding that if there is a situation requiring the Army to intervene, we can make a temporary sort of return to that," Omar said. Commenting on opposition to the withdrawal of AFSPA, the Chief Minister said, "No right-thinking person can turn around and tell you that AFSPA should be revoked in one shot. It is not possible at a point where you still have militant encounters and things like that going on. The overnight revocation of the AFSPA from the entire State is not possible. He, however, said there are areas where the Army has "virtually no presence and virtually no role to play". "It is in those areas that we are contemplating withdrawing the Disturbed Areas Act which will then automatically mean that the AFSPA does not apply there," the Chief Minister said. Omar also said the State Government has started moving back the forces and the recent dismantling of 16 bunkers in Srinagar was a first step. "We hope to continue until we reach a level where the visible presence is greatly reduced," he said.

US President Barack Obama, during his interaction with students at the St. Xavier's College Mumbai, on November 7 expressed the hope that India and Pakistan would be able to live in peace despite their past history, reported Times of India. However, he stressed India's key role in bringing about a stable Pakistan and said a peaceful Pakistan would be in India's interest. Obama also said the progress by Pakistan in fighting terrorism is not quick enough and asserted that the US was working with Islamabad to eradicate extremism which is a "cancer". Noting that there are some elements in Pakistan that are affiliated with Taliban, al Qaeda and the Lashkar-e-Toiba(LeT), he said they are "irreconcilable" and there needs to be a military response to those who perpetrate violence like they did in Mumbai and New York in a "significant, ongoing" way. The US President also regretted the fact that the "great religion" of Islam has been distorted by a few extremists to justify violence towards innocent people and called for isolating of those elements.

Hindustan times reports that 14-year-old Barun Munda, a cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who surrendered before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghatsila on November 8 has pleaded before the Jharkhand Police to help him pursue studies claiming that he had been 'trapped' by the Ghurabandha squad of the Maoists, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Ranjit Prasad said.

A nephew of hardcore Maoist Phogra Munda, he was in the squad for about a year when he was asked to do errands like carrying the Maoists' fire-arms and preparing food except when on particular "assignments like murder or act of sabotage on specific days." Barun was accused in the killings of two persons a few months ago and of blowing up rail tracks near Dalbhumgarh during a bandh called by the Maoists early this year. The boy claimed before the Police that he was lured by the Maoists since he wanted to earn fast bucks "for studies". Barun had made up his mind to flee from the group after the Maoists repeatedly refused to pay him, the SP Ranjit said.

"But it is our request that Pakistan cannot talk with India while the terrorist machinery is still active on its soil," he said. Meanwhile, answering a question at the press conference, Obama stuck to his line that the US had no role in Kashmir or any desire to impose a solution. "The US cannot impose solutions to these problems. I have indicated to the prime minister that we are happy to play any role the parties think is appropriate in reducing tensions. It is in the interest of the two countries, the region and the US," Obama said. But reflecting his own evidently deep convictions, he added that the US would be "happy to play any role in reducing tension" in Kashmir that the two sides consider appropriate.

Separately, a group of around 40 armed Maoists blew up a Residential High School building managed by the Tribal Welfare department at Gompakunda under Kalimela Police Station limits in Malkangiri District. They asked around 60 students present in the hostel to stand back and not interfere in their violent act. Through posters left at the spot the Maoists claimed that it was their mark of protest against the visit of US president Barack Obama to India. It may be noted that Maoists had given call for nationwide bandh (general shut down) on November 8 to protest against US president's visit.

The truth was apparently revealed by Jajang Gangte of United National Liberation Front (UNLF) that Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) & UNLF in alliance hired a Kuki National Army (KNA) cadre to eliminate the village chief for money matters.

Times of India reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘general secretary’ Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi says that the death of Azad was a severe blow for his outfit, but offers conditions for talks with the Government yet again. Replying to a question if in an interview that it was possible to talk with the Government after Azad's killing he said “ …For the past one and a half year, Comrades Azad, Kishenji and I have been stating our party's stand regarding talks... but government said talks would be held only if Maoists abjure violence. Keeping in view the war on the people...Azad continued declaring till the end that we would be ready for simultaneous ceasefire if the government is ready for it. The government doesn't feel any need for holding talks. It is crystal clear that there is no conducive atmosphere for talks. In spite of this, we request the people to demand from the government to prove its commitment to talks by implementing the following steps. (a) Stop Operation Green Hunt. Withdraw paramilitary forces. If government stops its offensive, then the counter-offensive would also stop. (b) Ours is a political party...with an ideological and military line and clear-cut policies on matters relating to culture, caste, gender, nationality etc. So the ban on our party should be lifted. (c) In Andhra Pradesh, Comrade Riyaz who participated in talks with the government in 2004 was murdered... Azad was murdered. It is not possible to believe the government and send underground comrades for talks... If the government releases our leadership from jails, then they would directly represent our party in the talks.”

Meanwhile, even after 40 days of their conditional release ordered by the Unified Command for a period of three months under the PSA, two stone pelters, Firdous Shah and Manzoor Ahmed, remained confined to Kot Bhalwal jail as no one from their families have turned up to fill a bond and give two sureties (by the parents) for their release from the jail. Release of a total of 12 PSA detenues for a period of three months was ordered by the Unified Command. Release of Shabir Shah from Kot Bhalwal jail was also delayed as he had declined to meet the conditions on the ground that he had never asked for the release and was not a stone pelter.

An annual report of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to the UN General Assembly has once again dropped mention of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), in keeping with a trend that started in 2006, according to Times of India. On November 15, Pakistan's envoy Amjad Sial told the General Assembly debating the annual report of the UNSC that the absence of the J&K issue was "inadvertent". However, while welcoming the UNSC report, Indian diplomats said the issue has not been part of any UNSC report since 2006. In 2005, then UN secretary general Kofi Annan declared that the "plebiscite" issue could not be enforced or self-implemented. It was after Annan's remarks, made in the context of resumption of India-Pakistan dialogue in 2005, that the UNSC dropped reference to the dispute. In the past five years, there has been no such mention. The India-Pakistan issue has not been debated in the UNSC since 1965.

Security Forces (SFs) are drawing up an elaborate plan to cut off escape routes of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) to Myanmar by surrounding the militants in their bases deep inside forests on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border, reports Telegraph on November 15. NDFB militants carried out the recent strikes by sneaking into Assam from Myanmar through Arunachal Pradesh. According to one intelligence source, an officer quoted to have said that “Our objective is to encircle them within our territory by choking their routes of escape in order to prevent them from crossing over to Myanmar. For this to happen, close co-ordination between Army and Police forces of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh is a must. There are, however, areas of concern like non-availability of sufficient Police and Central Forces with the state Governments for deployment in the NDFB-infested areas.” He said these issues were discussed threadbare at November 14 meeting of the strategy group of the Unified Command, which was chaired by Union Home Minister P.

Pakistan has been the chief victim of international terrorism and curbing militancy is in the country’s own interest, Robert Blake, Assistant Secretary of state for South Asia, said on November 16 while noting that a stable Pakistan was in the interests of both the US and India, reports Daily Times. Robert Blake told a briefing that during his recent visit to India, President Barack Obama highlighted that Washington and New Delhi had shared interest in reducing Pakistan-India tensions. “I think the president was very clear that Pakistan itself has been the chief victim of international terrorism. And so it’s very much in its own interest to crackdown on these groups, which increasingly are operating as a syndicate and it’s very difficult to really distinguish between them,” he said.

Nikam added that these informations were contained in the intercepts of telephonic conversations the handlers in Pakistan had with the terrorists during the 26/11 attacks.

Meanwhile, security arrangements have been beefed up along 121-kilometres Qazigund-Baramulla rail link in Kashmir as Northern Railways will begin the repair work on damaged tracks and railway stations from November 23 (today) with the aim of resuming the train services within next three to four days. "The repair work on the tracks and railway stations, which bore the brunt of violent protestors during the recent unrest, will commence from tomorrow and we are expecting to resume the operations within a week," an official of the Northern Railway told Daily Excelsior. The rail service, connecting North and South Kashmir, was suspended on July 31 after unruly protestors attacked the trains, damaged tracks and ransacked railway stations at several places in the Valley. Over 130 non-Kashmiri staff also fled in the wake of the unrest. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated the Valley's first rail service between Anantnag to Budgam District on October 11, 2008. The second phase of the train between Budgam to Baramulla was flagged off on February 14, 2009 followed by the third phase between Anantnag to Qazigund on October 28, 2009. Barring an IED blast by suspected militants on the track in Pulwama District on April 2, 2010, the service was a big success before worsening of the law and order situation in the Valley on June 11.

An arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant on November 26 rejected Pakistan’s claim that it has dismantled the terror infrastructure on its soil after the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), reports Daily Excelsior. "The training camps of LeT and other outfits were still active in Pakistan and its occupied Kashmir, despite a crackdown launched by the authorities there," Mohammad Saleem Rehmani alias Abu Saad, a resident of Nawab Sahib area of Sindh in Pakistan, told reporters. "About 250 to 300 militants were with me during the Daura-e-Khas (advanced course). We were being trained in handling weapons and launching attacks on security forces in Kashmir," the militant, who was part of an eight-member infiltrating column and managed their entry through Lolab sector of Kupwara District, said. Rehmani claimed that the permanent training camps were sealed by Pakistani authorities after 26/11. However, he added that various make shift camps have come up in the forests to facilitate the training of the recruits. He admitted that Pakistani Army was helping the militants to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir. "There are four to five launching pads active in 'Azad Kashmir' where 45 to 50 militants are always ready to infiltrate. When they are given green signal by the Army, they cross over," he said. Expressing his ignorance about involvement of Pakistani Army in training militants, he said, "I have not come across any Army officer during my training at several camps in Pakistan and PoK." Presenting the LeT militant before the media persons, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Shiv Murari Sahai said he was arrested by Police from Panzan area in Budgam District a few days back.

Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Shiv Murari Sahai on November 26 said that Police has concrete evidence about links between militants and separatists in triggering and planning the recent unrest in Kashmir valley, reported Daily Excelsior. "There is a concrete evidence that the recent agitation was planned," Sahai said, adding, Police have found evidence that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants planned the unrest and were in league with the separatist politicians. "As our investigations are making headway, we find that increasingly there is a very well-planned operation on part of the Lashkar to carry out incidents of stone-pelting and arson," he said. Sahai said Ghulam Mohammad Tantray, the tehsil (revenue unit) president of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) in Sopore town, had stayed with LeT ‘commander’ Furqan and was also maintaining contact through telephone with him. "There are the direct evidences to show how militant organisations and the so-called separatist leaders, who are leading a so-called peaceful agitation are very deeply linked," he added. The IGP said the recent upsurge in militant activity after the decline in the stone-pelting incidents was another link to prove that the unrest was planned. "Stone pelting has subsided and suddenly there is an upsurge in militant activity. There are arrests of Pakistani militants, there have been killings, this cannot be an innocent balance that once the stone pelting increases the militant violence decreases," he said. Sahai also claimed that during the interrogation of a stone-pelter in Sopore it was revealed that militants are hiding in a house in Sopore. "When the house was raided, we make some recoveries which included uniforms with badges of (different) ranks. We conclude that militants were planning to operate in uniform and these are the likely signs of fidayeen (suicide) attacks," he said. He said Police has busted a module of boys, recruited by a LeT operative from Batamaloo locality of Srinagar, who were involved in hurling grenades. Talking about training camps in Pakistan Sahai added, "The militant groups including Lashkar are openly motivating youth to train them for attacks on security forces in Kashmir. The militant has revealed that most of the camps and motivation centres, which were claimed to have been closed by Pakistan government, are still functional." Sahai said the militants were put through three courses before being selected for carrying out suicide attacks. "The first phase is Daura-e-Aam (ordinary training) followed by Daura-e-Khas. The best out of the second stage are selected for Daura-e-Lashkar (Lashkar or Army training) to carry out suicide attacks," he said adding it indicated the kind of training received by Rehmani before being sent here.

Meanwhile, extending a call for a complete boycott of panchayat (village level local self government institution) elections in the District, the Maoists have asked villagers to abstain from voting and contesting the polls. Central Zonal Committee of the CPI-Maoist spokesperson Paramjeet said that Maoists have a wide base in rural areas and the panchayat election is nothing but a conspiracy of the ruling class to create a divide among the cadres. "We have appealed to our sympathisers and villagers to keep away from the polls but action could be harsh if someone from within the party decides to contest the election," Paramjeet said.

The Hindu reports that the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on November 26 approved the commencement of an Integrated Action Plan (IAP) in 60 selected Districts affected by Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] violence with the aim of giving a fillip to development schemes in tribal and backward regions. The IAP would be an additional central assistance scheme on a 100 per cent grant basis. It is aimed at quick resolution of problems concerning healthcare, drinking water, education and roads. In 2010-11 alone, each of the 60 Districts will be given a block grant of INR 250 million, with the total coming to a INR 15, 000 million. In 2011-12, the grant will go up to INR 300 million each. “This is in pursuance of the Finance Minister's announcement in his budget speech of 2010-11 and the Prime Minister's address to the National Development Council on July 24. The scheme, to begin with, will be implemented over two years – 2010-11 to 2011-12,” Home Minister P. Chidambaram told journalists. Schemes would be decided by a committee, headed by the District Collector. The Superintendent of Police and the District Forest Officer would be its members. The IAP would be reviewed for implementation in the 12th Plan at a later stage, Chidambaram said.Meanwhile, the existing Kalahandi-Bolangir-Koraput (KBK) plan would continue, with an annual allocation of INR 1,300 million for all the eight Districts (Kalahandi, Naupada, Bolangir, Subarnapur, Koraput, Malkangiri, Rayagada and Nabarangpur) in Odisha put together. The eight KBK Districts have been included in the IAP. They would get an additional block grant of INR 250 million each in the current year, 2010, and a suitable additional amount under both State and District components of the IAP in the subsequent years. The IAP would focus on improvements in governance and the States would have to comply with specific preconditions before availing themselves of the second tranche of the additional financial assistance in 2011-12 under the State component of the IAP. However, these conditionalities would not apply to the District component of the IAP, according to the CCEA decision.

Two militants, suspected to be from strife-torn autonomous Russian province of Chechnya, have made their way to the Kashmir Valley, highly placed sources said on November 26, Times of India reports. The militants from the Central Asian region, identified only by their code names of Umar and Usman, were spotted from a photograph recovered by Police during a recent anti-militancy operation in Sopore in Baramulla District. The photograph shows the alleged Chechen militants armed to teeth with latest assault rifles and other ammunition. The sources said the duo has been active in Sopore for several months now and the Security Forces have launched special operations to track them down. The foreign militants are believed to have sneaked into the Valley in late spring or early summer during one of the many dozen infiltration bids launched by the militants from across the Line of Control (LoC), they said. The sources said more than 60 militants, mostly foreigners, are active in Sopore. Meanwhile, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Shiv Murari Sahai confirmed the recovery of the photograph. "However, the contents of the photograph need to be authenticated with regard to the location where it was taken and the nationality of those pictured in it," Sahai said.

Doda Police have initiated a process to attach the property of about 100 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), who were involved in a series of subversive activities in Doda District, including killings, but were presently operating from Pakistan or Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), Daily Excelsior reports. Proceedings to attach property of two ‘commanders’ —one each of LeT and HM — were set into motion on November 30 after Police got proclamation against the militants issued under Section 87 of the Criminal Procedure Code from the court. The militants against whom the process to attach property has been initiated, included Mohammad Amin alias Khubeb son of Dawood Bhat, a resident of (r/o) Kathwa, Thathri, a LeT ‘commander’, who has been operating as 'Launching Officer’ in PoK with the name of Gazi and Abdul Rashid son of Arsala Khandey r/o Khanpura in Thathri, who is reportedly based in a Muzaffarabad camp of HM in PoK. The militants have property in the form of houses, shops, and costlier goods etc. in Thathri and other places in Doda. The cases are being prepared to get proclamation against many other militants issued from the court to attach their property and send a stern message to the militants and their commanders that they could face action in the First Information Reports (FIRs) registered against them despite fleeing to Pakistan or PoK, official sources said. To avoid from getting their property attached, the militants would have to return and surrender. The State Government has already announced a Rehabilitation Policy for the militants under which they could return to the State from PoK.

Police on November 30 said that the three militants killed in the gun battle at a market place in Srinagar on November 29 were cadres of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit and were also involved in the recent killing of two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in Baramulla District, according to Daily Excelsior. "The slain militants were working as a Jaish module which was headed by Waseem Raja Guru and the rented accommodation of Arshid Bashir was used as a hideout. The module was also involved in the killing of two CRPF men in Pattan area of Baramulla district on November 10," Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda told reporters. He revealed the identity of the slain militants as Waseem Raja Guru and Arshid Bashir, both residents of Sopore, and Zahoor Ahmad Hajam of Bandipora. Stating that the infiltration of militants from across the border continued across the State, Khoda said around 100 militants had managed to sneak into this side, even as more than 200 militants, including some top ‘commanders’ have been killed in 2010. About the number of active militants in the State, he said 400 to 450 militants were still at large which has forced their handlers across the Line of Control (LoC) to change strategy from time to time to carry out their designs. The DGP reiterated that there was a clear nexus between militancy and street protests in the Valley, which has come to the fore during investigations into the summer unrest. "More than 3000 persons were arrested in connection with fuelling or taking part in the street protests and stone-pelting incidents. Most of them have been bailed out or their detention has been quashed," he said adding "at present, we have 124 persons detained under Public Safety Act (PSA), 12 in judicial custody and 29 in police custody."
