Anti talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF) threatened to target political leaders and others who have been working against the interests of the people of Assam, Reports The Assam Tribune. The Telegraph adds ULFA-ATF ‘Publicity Secretary’, Arunodoy Dohotia, on November 1 said, “We want to appeal to all indigenous people of the state to stay away from vehicles used by occupational forces, people associated with the forces and their residences, vehicles of leaders of political parties, outside companies and businessmen who are busy exploiting local resources and the corrupt like those who take bribes and blackmarketeers”. In an email sent by Kamal Kochari, a member of Pro-Talks Faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF) publicity cell said, “As an organisation, ULFA has nothing to say about the personal statement of Paresh Barua which was made without the slightest knowledge of the present situation of Assam. It is always easy to issue warnings from a distance in the name of a so-called movement. In today’s scenario, the people of Assam are in favour of a political solution of the ULFA-Government problem, the demand to establish sovereign Assam is nothing but an imagination. There is no real value in the demand.”

Reacting strongly to the signing of memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Government of Manipur (GoM) and the Sadar Hills Districthood Demand Committee (SHDDC) on October 31 for the creation of Sadar Hills District by bifurcating Senapati District, the United Naga Council (UNC) and the All Naga Students Association, Manipur (ANSAM) have taken a decision on November 1 to resort to stern forms of agitation. The two Naga organisations urged the Nagas to be prepared for any eventuality. The UNC has decided to enforce a 3 day total bandh (total shutdown) with effect from midnight of November 3 till November 6, adds Sangai Express. The total bandh would cover all Government offices, educational institutions, movement of all types of private and commercial vehicles including the construction work of the Jiribam- Tupul- Imphal railway line and the Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) manning highways in the Naga areas. UNC said that it strongly condemns the manner in which the GoM had executed the agreement without the consensus and consent of the Nagas, notwithstanding the four MoUs signed with Naga people and the sustained public protest against the manner in which the GoM has been handling the issue. It has also been decided that the ongoing economic blockade will continue until further notice.

Army on November 3 said that the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) cannot be revoked from any part of Jammu and Kashmir till the proxy war in the State abetted by Pakistan continued, reports Daily Excelsior. General Officer Commanding (GOC, Northern Command) Lieutenant General K T Parnaik said militant infrastructure across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is still intact and unless and until it is not dismantled, AFSPA can't be revoked. "We feel unless we are able to neutralise that infrastructure and unless we are able to remove interference from Pakistan, it may not be the correct time for us to think of revoking it partially," said the General. "We have a situation which has carried on for more than 20 years now and the Army required the provisions to enable it to act. Without the provisions, the Army will be handicapped… If you are removing the Act from certain areas then it will become difficult for the Army to operate in the manner we operate now," said General Parnaik. He said if the AFSPA is revoked from parts of the State "it will give terrorists and other subversive elements a chance to exploit the situation and we don't want that to happen." The General said the peace in the certain areas where from the revocation of the Act is being suggested is a very fragile one. "And this peace is because of the AFSPA", he said adding "after all we have seen one of the most peaceful summers in 2011 and that has happened with AFSPA only."

A sharp increase has been witnessed in ceasefire violations in 2011 on the Line of Control (LoC) in twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch by the Pakistan Army, reports Daily Excelsior. Simultaneously, the infiltration attempts on the LoC have also gone up though most of them have been foiled by the troops. According to official sources, the highest number of 30 ceasefire violations has been reported from the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch Districts alone during 10 months of 2011, the number being only 18 during the corresponding period of 2010.The rise in ceasefire violations by the Pakistan Army has been attributed to increased number of militants, who have been camping across the LoC, awaiting an opportunity to sneak into this side. The number of infiltration attempts made from different parts of the LoC in the two Districts have also gone up to 42 but number of successful intrusion bids had considerably come down or reduced virtually to zero, sources said, adding this has been possible due to sustained pressure maintained by the troops all along the LoC, which exists only in Rajouri and Poonch Districts or some areas surrounding to Sunderbani, in Pallanwalla sector of Jammu region. Sources said in three to four infiltration attempts, the militants had come very close to the LoC. Despite that, they were pushed back, they added.

The illegal trade and smuggling of narcotic and psychotropic substances, which was going to attain alarming proportion, has been contained up to larger extent during the past four months with Jammu Police making seizure of over 5700 kilograms of narcotic substances and 1.67 lakh intoxicant capsules and booking 303 smugglers from across the region. Similar achievement has also been made as far as smuggling of bovine animals to Kashmir valley is concerned as 821 persons were booked under the relevant laws during this period. Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu Zone) Dilbagh Singh said that keeping in view the growing activities of the narcotic and psychotropic substances smugglers, a special network was developed across the Jammu region about four months back to check this menace, which poses grave threat to the society in general and younger generation in particular. He noted that due to strict vigil on borders with Pakistan, the incidents of heroin smuggling have been contained up to large extent and this has also given severe blow to the pumping of money in the militancy.

The Times of India reports that after a hiatus of two months, the Army has returned to Bastar to resume its training regime in jungle warfare. Fresh units, comprising 2500-3000 men of three battalions, have begun proceeding southwards from the state capital Raipur, confirmed an Army spokesperson. This is the second batch of soldiers that would train in the jungles of Bastar, a tribal region in south Chhattisgarh. The first batch of troops arrived in June, 2011 and stayed till mid-August. Unlike the first batch which was stationed safely outside the conflict zone, along the national highway near Kondagaon, the second batch will be moving inwards on the state highway towards Narayanpur, according to a source in the security establishment. This brings the troops closer to Maoist dominated area.

A special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court on November 5 granted bail to all nine persons accused in the Malegaon blasts case (September 8, 2006) after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) told the court it had no objection to any of their bail pleas, according to The Hindu. However, two of the accused were denied release from prison as they are accused in the Mumbai train bomb blast case (July 11, 2206) as well. While the investigating agency did not oppose their bail plea, it did not dismiss any of the charges slapped on them either. All the nine accused have been in prison for the past five years. The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which investigated the case initially, had claimed that many of the arrested accused were members of the banned Islamic outfit Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Even the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which was later handed over the investigation, took the same line. It was only after the arrested extremist Swami Aseemanand's confession about the alleged involvement of right-wing Hindu fundamentalists in the 2006 Malegaon blast was leaked, that the line of investigation changed.

India on November 6 said Pakistan is continuing to harbour terrorists on its soil and despite repeated requests it has taken no steps to dismantle the terror infrastructure there, according to Daily Excelsior. "We have been taking up (the issue) with Pakistan. We have taken (it) up with Pakistan in various forums – bilateral as well as multilateral forums. But unfortunately, it has had no effect on the ground," Union Home Secretary R K Singh told reporters. "Though they (Pakistan) keep telling us that they do not encourage terrorists or that they do not encourage people from operating from their soil, on the ground there has been no difference," he added. According to intelligence reports, around 2,500 terrorists were active in training camps and launching pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and some other areas in Pakistan and that all of them had been primarily trained to infiltrate into India, official sources said. The sources said at least 60 infiltration attempts had taken place along the border in Jammu and Kashmir between January and August 2011 and such attempts had intensified ahead of the onset of winter. According to a report of the Ministry OF Home Affairs (MHA), infiltration attempts had shown a marginal increase during 2010 in comparison to 2009. While there were 489 infiltration attempts in 2010, 485 such attempts were made in 2009. There have also been increased incidents of ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC). At least 23 incidents of ceasefire violation have been reported along the LoC till August 2011. There were 77 ceasefire violations in 2008 which came down to 28 in 2009 but increased to 44 in 2010.

The need for opening up of offices in the three cities was felt as Uttar Pradesh is being used by terrorists to infiltrate from Nepal. The State's porous border with Nepal is also being used for smuggling Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) into the country. Mumbai, being a commercial capital of the country, has been often made terror target while Kerala is being used by some terror groups as a recruitment ground for over ground workers who carried of reconnaissance and also indulged in hawala rackets. The NIA was set up in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also called, 26/11) following an act passed by the Parliament and is entrusted with cases related to terror.

The Pioneer reports that a year after the launch of a much-touted joint operations against the Maoists, intelligence reports paint a grim picture about the real state of affairs. It shows Maoist plan to “intensify and consolidate” its violent movement by taking newer areas in its stride. The Security Forces (SF’s), according to an intelligence report, have not been able to achieve “enough attrition” in the Maoist ranks even as the ultras are looking at the Northeast insurgent groups to get support in terms of arms supplies. As many as 95 Districts have registered incidents of Maoist violence of which 80 per cent incidents are from 24 Districts in six States. Jharkhand remained the worst affected State followed by Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Odisha. However, a significant fall was observed in Naxal violence in West Bengal but new areas in Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Assam showed incipient ultra-Left extremism.

Times of India reports that taking note of huge construction activities across the border by Pakistan, which is resulting in erection of 97 additional 'observation post' towers and 162 barracks, a Parliamentary standing committee on home affairs has come out with a number of suggestions for the Government to counter such logistic build-up and asked it to urgently implement the proposal for construction of an earthen 'bund' on the home side of the fencing. The panel has noted that all such additional constructions along the border in Pakistan had taken place in the past eight years after both the nations had agreed for a 'ceasefire' in November, 2003. The panel in its report on "Border Fencing and Flood Lighting Projects along Indo-Pak borders in the Country" has also asked the Government to replace floodlights and cables along the Indo-Pak border that have "outlived" their life and have become "obsolete". The 32-page report was submitted to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) chairman Hamid Ansari on November 3.

Despite the repeated announcements made by the Government to revamp the country's entire coastal security architecture, the progress made in development of the infrastructure of the Indian Coast Guard, till date is far below the expected level, The Times of India reported. According to reports, at present the force has only 106 "surface units'', including just six advanced and 11 other offshore patrol vessels, and 51 "air units" comprising 28 Dornier surveillance aircraft, 19 Chetak and four Dhruv helicopters. Moreover, it has just 1,714 officers, 9,196 enrolled personnel and 1,553 civilians. This when at least triple those numbers are required to effectively protect India's vast 5,422-km coastline, 1,197 islands and 2.01 million sq km of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Ministry of Defence officials, on their part, say plans are afoot to ensure Coast Guard can increase its force levels to around 200 ships and 100 aircraft by 2018 to effectively tackle its operational tasks, which includes piracy and the terror threat emanating from sea. In the short-term, three more Coast Guard stations will come up at Dahanu, Androth and Krishnapatnam to add to the existing 31, apart from a new regional HQ (north-east) and a station at Kolkata. "Since 2009, an additional 4,300 posts have been sanctioned to strengthen the Coast Guard. The force will also get 12 more Dorniers soon,'' said an official.

If we are going to wait for the last gun to fall silent (to withdraw the AFSPA), I think that day is not going to come. We have to take tough decisions’’, Omar said and recalled that when 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bunkers were removed from Srinagar City, there were murmurs that militancy would be revived there but the facts proved otherwise.

Pointing out that lack of proper enforcement of Panchayat (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act contributed to the rise of Communist Party of India Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace in Chhattisgarh and other places, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh on November 12 suggested a three-fold strategy to deal with it. The three-fold strategy is: to reassure the locals that Government is there to address their problems, to have organised political parties in Naxal-affected areas and to deploy enough para-military forces. Ramesh said it was necessary to build good roads in such areas but private contractors are reluctant to take up work there and so a proposal is that the State Government itself should build roads with the help of forest department and the Police. The idea would be tried out in Bijapur District of Chhattisgarh, he added.

Rajkhowa further said, "Our principle concern is to empower the people of the state to assert their rights to control their lands and their natural resources for an honourable existence and also to protect their identity.

The Hindu Business Line reports that six more Districts in Andhra Pradesh may be declared ‘Maoist-affected’ in addition to the existing two, according to Jairam Ramesh, the Union Minister for Rural Development. The minister was speaking at a public meeting at Hukumpeta near Paderu in the agency (tribal) area of Visakhapatnam District on November 13. “ It is a matter of deep worry that tribal areas — mineral-rich, forest-rich areas inhabited mostly by Girijans in the mountainous tracts — are in a state of ferment and unrest. The gap between the Government and Girijans is widening of late, which is being exploited by the Maoists. There is clearly a trust deficit which we have to address,” he remarked.

The Sangai Express reports that after more than half a century of protracted conflict, the negotiations between the Indian Government and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) is now in its final stages. The final settlement envisages a “special federal relationship” between India and Nagaland and creation of a “Supra-state body” for the Nagas to “preserve, protect and promote their cultural, social and customary practices.” The offer to create a pan-Naga ‘Supra State Body’, instead of the “Greater Nagalim” demanded by the NSCN, has been touted by Indian negotiators as the “second best option for the Naga people”. The “Greater Nagalim” that would involve merger of Naga-inhabited areas of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh with the State of Nagaland is likely to provoke huge resistance in these States. So Delhi is offering to create the “Supra State Body”, to which the legal authority and decision-making power of the Naga populated areas of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh will be formally transferred. This, the Indian officials say, is recognition of the “distinct identity” of the Nagas, and will surely merit a major Constitutional amendment.

At least half a dozen Maoist cadres from Kerala have been sent to Jharkhand for military training, raising security concern in the State. According to the sources, the cadres from Kerala will be inducted into the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) after undergoing military training. This assumes importance in the backdrop of the decision of Maoists to carve out a new guerrilla zone in South India, especially in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Sources revealed that one of the Maoist leaders sent for military training was Sinoj alias Ramesan, who was arrested from Mananthawady in Wayanad on July 14, 2009. He later jumped bail and went underground. Hailing from Thalikkulam in Thrissur, Sinoj was the State committee member of the recently dissolved CPI- Maoist group. He was the activist of the CPI-Marxist Leninist (Red Flag) before joining the Maoist fold.

Following the arrest of nine Hill Tiger Force (HTF) militants including ‘Commander in chief ‘, ‘Finance Secretary’ and a ‘Sergeant Major’ on November 13, HTF plans to attack Government properties and abduct senior officials on a large scale in Dima Hasao District came to light, reports The Telegraph. During interrogation HTF, militants told the SFs that the outfit plans to attack Railway and Telecom projects and the East-West corridor in the district and expand its activities to its bordering areas. Five senior cadres, after completing training in neighbouring Manipur, are training recruits to plant IEDs on railway tracks and ambush convoys. A source in Dima Hasao Police said, “According to Benjamin[Commander in Chief, HTF] the outfit trains the recruits with single-barrelled guns collected from villagers who have licence for the weapons. Once the training is complete, they hand over sophisticated weapons procured from agents through Nagaland to the trainees. From the very beginning, the recruits are trained to plant IEDs on railway tracks.” The source further said the militant outfit has links with at least two over-ground groups, which are advocating bifurcation of the District.

The Indian Express reports that four days after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held a public rally at Balarampur in Purulia District, urging people to resist the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), an armed Maoist squad raided a village in the area late in the evening of November 14 and shot dead a 63-year-old retired school teacher Ajit Singh Sardar and his 22-year-old son Baku. Both the victims were supporters of Trinamool Congress (TMC). Within hours, an angry Chief Minister directed the Joint Security Forces to immediately resume operations to counter the Maoists in the area. Further, Banerjee said the security agencies had been asked to step up operations against underground Maoist outfits operating from Kolkata hideouts and their support bases in the city. She said her Government was ready with a blueprint for action against certain NGOs that were actually aiding and abating Maoists. “A number of Jadavpur University professors are also involved,” she said. Earlier in the day, the West Bengal state secretary of the CPI-Maoist, known as Akash, in a statement said that the “time for mutual ceasefire is over”, as the Government did not come up with any concrete proposal for peace initiative.

A special police officer (SPO) was killed while a ‘divisional commander’ of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and one of the alleged conspirators of September 7 Delhi High Court blast, Mohammad Amin Bhat alias Jehangir Saroori, escaped along with his body-guard, Mohammad Riaz, after a heavy exchange of gun battle between the Security Forces (SFs) and militants at Darang forests in Dachchan Haddal area of Kishtwar District in the morning of November 15, reports Daily Excelsior. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG, Doda-Kishtwar Range) Manish Kumar Sinha said Saroori, a resident of Saroorh (Kishtwar) along with his body-guard, a March 2010 recruit and a resident of Anzar, opened fire on the SFs after observing their movement. The SFs retaliated. In the exchange of firing, SPO Billal Ahmed was killed while Saroori and his body-guard managed to escape along with arms and ammunition leaving their other belongings on the incident site. The SFs, however, have still maintained a cordon at six to seven places in the forests of Dachchan area to trace the militant who was active in militancy since 1990. HM supremo and United Jehad Council (UJC) chief Syed Salahudin and Jehangir Saroori had reportedly masterminded the High Court blast in which three more HM militants were still absconding. The absconders, on whose head the National Investigating Agency (NIA) had kept a reward of INR 1 million, included Junaid Akram Malik, brother of Wasim Akram Malik, who has already been arrested, Aamir Kamal alias Kamran and Sheikh Rashid alias Chota Hafiz alias Adil. All three were also reported to be operating in Dachchan, Marwah and Warwan areas of Kishtwar after Delhi High Court blast. Besides Wasim Akram Malik, two more militants Hafiz Aamir Abbas Dev and Abid Hussain have been arrested by the NIA. All three arrested militants were residents of Kishtwar while three absconders were also camping in Kishtwar’s upper reaches. Two foreign militants, who had transported explosive material and reportedly planted the improvised explosive device (IED), were also at large.

DNA India reports that the Union Home Minister who was on a tour of Chhattisgarh to review the Maoist situation there called the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) the "biggest violators of human rights". The Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram on November 15 said that anti-Maoist operations in Chhattisgarh seemed to be losing momentum though incidents of Maoist violence have come down. "Even though the Naxal-related incidents have gone down, it can be said it is because the security forces are not engaging in operations against them in the manner they should," he told reporters in Raipur after a review of anti-Maoist operations in the State with top officials. Maintaining that the Centre was extending all help to States afflicted by the menace, he said 135 companies of paramilitary forces were currently deployed in the State, while the Raman Singh Government had recruited 54,000 additional Police force personnel. The backlog, he said, will be filled by the end of 2012. Further, Chidambaram said it was "condemnable" if big business houses were funding the CPI-Maoist, adds The Times of India.

In a move to beef up Security arrangements in the Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism]-infested areas in Vidarbha, the Centre has agreed to bear the expenses of a helicopter to be deployed for surveillance and rescue operation, reports The Times of India. A decision to this effect was taken a high level meeting in Mumbai on November 15. The meeting was chaired by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram. The state government already has hired one helicopter for rescue operations in Naxal areas. "The union government will bear the cost incurred for the second helicopter," the official added. Meanwhile, P Chidambaram asked the Gadchiroli Police to step up area domination to curb Naxal violence against civilians, reports Indian Express. Sources said that at a review meeting with officials from Naxal-affected Gadchiroli and Gondia in Mumbai, Chidambaram expressed concern about the increasing number of civilian casualties of Naxal violence in Gadchiroli and observed that it showed who is dominating the area. He exhorted the Police officials to increase vigilance and area domination to prevent Naxals from targeting civilians. Over 35 people, suspected to be police informers, have been killed by Naxals in Gadchiroli so far this year. Chidambaram also expressed unhappiness over slow progress of construction of infrastructure facilities for central paramilitary forces (CPMF). He also announced at the meeting that funds allocation for the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) for Naxal-affected districts from next financial year would be done for blocks as units, not Districts.

The Times of India reports that a plan by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders to use its connections with Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur to get sanctuary in Myanmar has come to naught because of reservations of the insurgent leaders from the northeast, according to an Imphal-based defence source. PLA militants in Manipur have revealed this to Security Forces (SFs), he says. According to the source, Maoist leaders had requested PLA to arrange this shelter in the middle of 2011, soon after they started feeling the heat of stepped-up pressure of joint operations against Maoists in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand as well as West Bengal. Leaders of National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Khaplang (NSCN-K) did not favour this idea. NSCN-K leaders have reasoned that the presence of Maoists in Myanmar would be revealed in no time because the features of CPI-Maoist members would not match with that of members of northeastern rebel groups taking shelter there.

The Times of India reports that the Supreme Court on November 18 lifted its July 5 ban on central funding of anti-naxal [Left-Wing Extremism] and anti-insurgency operations through Special Police Officers (SPOs) in all states except Chhattisgarh. On July 5, a bench of Justices B Sudershan Reddy, since retired, and S S Nijjar had clamped a complete ban on central funding, which accounted for a major chunk of the budget for anti-naxalite and anti-insurgency operations in many states on a petition filed by Nandini Sundar alleging illegal recruitment of tribal youth as SPOs in Chhattisgarh and large-scale illegalities committed by them. On an application moved by the Ministry Of Home Affairs (MHA), a bench of Justices Altamas Kabir and S S Nijjar clarified that the July 5 judgment would operate only in Chhattisgarh. During the arguments on Nandini Sundar's petition, the Raman Singh government had clarified that SPOs, whose salary budget is borne mainly by the central government (80%), were not peculiar to Chhattisgarh. If there were 6,500 SPOs in Chhattisgarh, their number in Jharkhand was 6,400, Bihar 6,353, Orissa 4,480, Andhra Pradesh 2,130 and Maharashtra 1,500, it had said.

Times of India reports that the Centre on November 19 informed Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh that there was no move to grant a 'supra state body' status to Nagas settled across the North-East and the negotiators, who have been talking to the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), had never promised the outfit any such arrangement that may have severe inter-state ramifications. The 'clarification' comes in response to the objection from all the three States that sought the Union home ministry's views over certain reports on the purported 'move'. A top Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) official handling northeast affairs told Times of India, "Whatever is being reported in the media is a proposal of the NSCN (IM) and it is not the view of the government; neither has there been any agreement between the two parties. So far as the government of India is concerned, it is not giving Nagaland any powers to gain control over areas of its neighbouring states of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh." The senior MHA official added, "We have verbally informed the three states that the government of India has not taken any such initiative."

The Pioneer reports that the Police on November 20 arrested seven people for the killing of nun, Sister John Valsa at Pachuara village under Amrapara Police Station jurisdiction in Pakur District. The arrested persons were identified as Advin Murmu, Ranjan Marandi, Pradhan Hembram, Rakesh Turi, all hailing from Aloobera village, and Paisal Hembram, Prem Turi, Tala Hembram, all from Pachura village. Though they were responsible for thrashing and hacking Sister Valsa to death, the villagers claimed that the cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were the main conspirators in the incident. A total of 30 armed Maoists escorted 15 villagers of Meral Tola, Aloobera and Pachuara villages to the house of Sonaram Hembram at Pachuara village on November 15 to kill Sister Valsa, where she was staying on rent. The Times of India adds that among those arrested is Ranjan Marandi, with known links to Maoists. "The Maoists are trying to make inroads into Pakur to extort money from a mining company. The rebels, however, did not use firearms to kill her. They let the villagers do that so that they could convey a message that even an influential person like Valsa could be killed if Maoists did not approve of that person," said Dumka inspector-general Arun Oraon.

Stating that the gradual withdrawal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was part of the aspiration of people, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on November 21 refused to set a deadline for revocation of AFSPA, reports The Hindu. “I'm not in the business of setting deadlines; more progress is to be made regarding the revocation of the act. We have to work in tandem, everybody including the Defense Ministry and the Army has to be taken into confidence,” he stated. “There is no opposition against the revocation of AFSPA, however, they [Army] have concerns which need to be sorted out and hopefully it will be done sooner than later,” Abdullah added further. "I am on the right track and my efforts for gradual revocation of AFSPA will continue," Omar said, adds Zee News.

The Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) could have been averted if the then Bush administration [referring to then US president George W. Bush] had taken seriously the warning and threat perception of Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) global operations by French judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, a media report said. Bruguiere met officials of the Bush administration in 2007 to inform them about the LeT's threat and Pakistan's double game, but US officials were not convinced by his argument, reported PBS's Frontline and ProPublica in a report released on November 21. Bruguiere argument was based on his investigation of French LeT terrorist Willie Brigitte, who after being caught, had confessed to involvement in a foiled bomb plot in Australia. During his investigation, the judge found that Brigitte's LeT handler was Sajid Mir, one of the key architect of the Mumbai terrorist attack. "When Bruguiere questioned Brigitte, the links between Lashkar-e-Taiba, Sajid Mir and Pakistan's intelligence service ISI began to unravel," the report said.

The Hindu reports that the West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee on November 21 warned organisations glorifying the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) that the Government would take action against them anytime as there are provisions in Central Acts that empower the Government to act against persons seeking to glorify Maoists or any other rebel group. She was reacting to a press conference held by the Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR) and 21 other organisations, against what they described as the government's moves to change a meeting venue fixed by them. Also sharing the dais and the concern of the organisers on this issue, was social rights activist Mahasweta Devi who was one of her supporters. Giving for the first time her rationale for not withdrawing troops from the Jungle Mahal area , Banerjee said : “Yes it was a poll promise, and that is why we tried for six months to restore peace in that area when we did not allow security operations to take place.” “But what have you done?” she asked the Maoists. “You killed seven-eight people…law and order is a State subject. I cannot let my people be killed. I cannot deny my responsibility.” she said, adding that people would not pardon her.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have been forced to back out from 41 Districts over the last three years and have a presence in just about 182 Districts, Union Home Ministry statistics put out in the Lok Sabha on November 22 have revealed, reports Hindustan Times. In 2008, every third District, 223, on an average was under the shadow of the Maoists. Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had put this figure in public domain in August 2009, making it clear that the Maoist challenge was tough and very real. The statistics put out by Minister of State for Home, Jitendra Singh in the Lok Sabha indicated the change in trend. The Maoists have been on an expansion spree since 2003-04. Except 110-odd Districts from where violence is reported, most of the others are in the early stages of what the Maoists call "revolutionary mobilisation". This is when the cadres try to create a basic network. A ministry official said a public outreach campaign by the Government — focusing on Maoist atrocities on innocent villagers — helped show their "real face". So did the swift action by the Police in States such as Haryana when Maoists tried to use industrial unrest to build their support-base.

The Union Government on November 22 said that Pakistan's spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) continued to support various terrorist outfits to spread violence in India, according to Indian Express.

Anti-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA–ATF) on November 23 announced a new 16-member central committee, but left all positions occupied by Pro-Talks faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF) leaders free except that of the deputy commander-in-chief reports The Telegraph. Paresh Baruah promoted himself to the rank of “major general” from “colonel”. The newly constituted central committee will consists of Dr Abhijeet Barman as ‘in-charge chairman’, Paresh Baruah as ‘commander-in-chief’ & ‘vice president’, ‘colonel’ Jiban Moran as ‘assistant general secretary’ and ‘in-charge finance secretary’ , ‘major’ Dristi Rajkhowa and ‘major’ Bijoy Das as ‘deputy commander-in-chief’, Michael Deka Phukan and ‘captain’ Partha Gogoi as ‘assistant finance secretary’, ‘captain’ Montu Saikia, ‘captain’ Nayan Medhi, ‘lieutenent’ Salim and ‘lieutenent’ Azhar Ali as ‘assistant organizing secretary’, while ‘lieutenant’ Samiran Bhuyan, ‘liuetenent’ Sagar Topno and Jyotimoy Bharali as ‘assistant cultural secretary’. Meanwhile, ULFA-PTF described the move as unconstitutional, as it went against the outfit’s basic tenets. Mrinal Hazarika, spokesperson ULFA-PTF said, “He (Baruah) cannot nominate a new committee without approval by ULFA’s general council and nor can he effect any changes in the ranks of the organisation. He created a rank of ‘major general’ and promoted himself, though there is no such rank in ULFA.” On the issue as to why a permanent committee has not been announced by ULFA-ATF, Hazarika said, “Maybe Barua is waiting for Anup Chetia’s return, since he himself cannot nominate a permanent committee. Chetia’s stand will determine the balance of power in the outfit. But we can only say that Chetia is in favour of talks.” Hazarika further said that Abhijit Barman and Pranomoy Asom were, in all probability, fake names. Further, a top source in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the name of the new chairman could be a "fictitious one”, reports The Times of India. He added, "We find a couple of fictitious names in the new committee like Lt Salim and Lt Azahar Ali, both of whom are designated as assistant organisation secretaries."

They have also pointed out that in all other States of the country, Army enjoyed protection under CrPC, which was not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir’s RPC.

"As per National Crime Record Bureau data, 91 civilians got killed and 494 civilian got injured in police firing during 2010 in Jammu and Kashmir," Minister of State for Home Jitendra Singh informed Rajya Sabha in a written reply. He, however, dismissed the suggestion that the number of Police personnel, who become victims of violence at the hands of rioters, is highest in Kashmir in comparison to other States. PTI quoted Army officials as saying that Rashtriya Rifles (RR), the largest counter insurgency force in the country, has eliminated 65 militants and arrested 35 of them in anti-terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir by November 2011. We also registered six cases of surrenders by hard-core militants in the state, army officials said. A large amount of weapons have also been recovered by the RR troops during operations which include 152 rifles, 85 Light Machine Guns, over 200 kilograms of explosives, around 10 rocket- propelled grenade launchers and 32,000 rounds of ammunition in different parts of the State.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Politburo member Mallojula Koteshwar Rao alias Kishanji, the man who controlled Maoist operations in eastern India, was cornered and killed in a massive security operation after a two-hour gun battle in Kushaboni forest in Jhargram on the West Bengal-Jharkhand border in West Midnapore District on November 24, reports The Times of India. The recovery of Kishanji's AK-47 rifle and a hearing aid, the CPI-Maoist politburo member is known to have been using, lent heft to the claim that the yet unclaimed body was that of Kishanji. But officials said they needed to close a one percent gap to make a formal announcement. "Most likely it is Kishanji. The officers on the spot said it is Kishanji and most likely, 99%, it is Kishanji," said Union Home secretary R K Singh. "We have said we have to be certain before we declare." The operation that netted Kishanji, who has repeatedly eluded such dragnets in the past three years, began in the night of November 22. It culminated in one of the biggest and fiercest battles in Jungle Mahal with some 500 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and anti-Maoist commandos, backed by local policemen, taking on 150-odd Maoist cadres. Thousands of rounds were fired in the Kushaboni forest in Jhargram, 200 kilometres west of Kolkata. After the gun battle stopped CRPF commandos quickly moved in and found a body closely resembling Kishanji. Three more bodies were also found. The Security Forces were still searching for Kishanji’s trusted aide Suchitra Mahato, wife of slain Maoist leader Sashadhar Mahato, who was with him during the encounter and is believed to be injured in the encounter.

Union Home Minister Home Minister P Chidambaram said the efforts of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah are to denotify the Disturbed Areas Act (DAA) from some places in the State, a move which will pave way for removal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), according to IBN Live. Chidambaram also made it clear that the decision to denotify areas from DAA would be taken by the State Governor on the advice of the State Government. "At the moment, what the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister wishes to be done is to denotify areas which had been originally notified as Disturbed Areas. That is his effort now. That, as I said earlier, is in accordance to the Cabinet Committee on Security decision which requested him to review the matter in the Unified HQs," he said. To a separate question about the report submitted by the three interlocutors -- Dileep Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and M M Ansari -- on Kashmir, the Home Minister said the report was a "practical roadmap" and suggests a way forward to find a solution to the political issues that have been in Jammu and Kashmir for many, many years. "We are considering the report. I have already briefed the members of CCS once. They have asked for a fuller briefing. We are trying to schedule another meeting of CCS. Once the full briefing is done to CCS, CCS will decide to make the report public. The report will be made public," the Home Minister added.

Union Home minister P Chidambaram on November 30 said that Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani may be a "man of peace" but he had not delivered on the 26/11 (Mumbai terror attacks, November 26, 2008) probe, neither arresting the real culprits nor giving India voice samples of those who were in jails there, The Times of India reported. The Home Minister's scepticism was significant after PM Manmohan Singh described Gilani as a "man of peace" to explain why he had reached out to Pakistan yet again. Chidambaram refused to comment on the gap between the PM's optimism implied in his description of Gilani and his own reservations about the Pakistani premier.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on November 30 warned insurgents that the State wouldn’t bend before violence but offered to treat with “dignity” any outfit if they came for peace talks, whether they were Maoists or rebels from the Northeast, reports The Telegraph. The minister also rejected allegations that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) politburo member Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Kishanji was killed in a fake encounter. “The state will not bend before anyone who uses violence as an instrument of policy to achieve political demands. That is why we tell them: suspend violence and come for talks and, when you come for talks, you will be treated with dignity and honour and we can resolve your political demands through talks,” he said. “It (the offer) applies to the Maoists (too),” he added. He said the Maoists only needed to “suspend” violence and not surrender arms in the run-up to the talks. “You suspend violence and, within 72 hours, my office will get back to you with the venue and time for talks,” he said. “Suspend violence — that is enough at this stage,” he added, extending the offer to also militants from Manipur. This is the first time since he took over that Chidambaram has made such an offer to Northeast militans. Till now, he had insisted that Northeast insurgents should surrender arms before coming for talks.
