The Orissa State committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 4 claimed responsibility for the killing of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati in the Kandhamal district on August 23, reports The Hindu. Speaking to a team of journalists from Bhubaneswar in a forest in Kandhamal, the spokesperson of the outfit's Orissa unit, Sabyasachi Panda alias Sunil, said it became necessary to eliminate the Swami as he was forcing tribals and Dalit Christians in Kandhamal to convert to Hinduism. "After the December 2007 communal violence in Kandhamal, we threatened to kill him if he and his supporters did not refrain from harassing tribals and Dalit Christians to change their religion", Panda said. Panda claimed that the members of the People's Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) who took part in killing them Swami had left two letters at the spot at Jalaspata ashram, claiming responsibility for the killing. "The government, however, suppressed the letters to help rioters continue with their attacks on the minority community," Panda added.

With a view to foil any attempt by terrorists to sneak into the mainland through the sea, the Government has increased surveillance and patrolling of the country's 7,516-km-long coastline spread across nine States and four Union Territories, reports The Hindustan Times. The renewed efforts to tighten security and surveillance in shallow areas close to the coast have been made to counter illegal cross-border activities and criminal acts, including infiltration by terrorists and smuggling of arms and explosives, Home Ministry officials said. Intelligence agencies have also cautioned the government that terror groups were trying to use gaps in India's coastline that connect the country to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Maldives, all of which have seen rising terrorist activities, officials said. They also said there are intelligence inputs of Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) trying to set up its bases in uninhabited islands located in high seas around the country. The measures have been taken up as part of the government's Coastal Security Scheme launched about three years ago through which it decided to set up 73 coastal police stations, 97 police check posts, 58 outposts and 30 barracks. Under the scheme, which is being implemented in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal besides Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the coastal police stations are being equipped with 204 boats, 149 jeeps and 312 motorcycles. Steps are being taken to strengthen joint patrolling off the coast in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Orissa, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh to prevent any attempt by terrorists to smuggle arms and explosives as most of these states have suffered terror strikes in the recent past.

The Supreme Court-appointed National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) investigation into Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist civilian vigilante programme) in Chhattisgarh has justified the movement as a "spontaneous revolt of the tribals against years of atrocities and harassment suffered by them at the hands of Naxalites (left-wing extremists)", reports Economic Times. The NHRC report, submitted to the apex court also dismisses most of the allegations of human rights abuses made by the petitioners in the apex court, including widely reported use of minors by Salwa Judum. The report blames the Naxalites for human rights abuses and sees action by Salwa Judum activists from the prism of necessary retaliation. The report further says that 15 years after Jan Jagran Abhiyan, an earlier attempt to deal with Naxalites, "local tribals once again mustered courage to stand up to the Naxalites, which only goes to show their sense of desperation."

The all-party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in Chennai on October 14 to discuss the problems of Sri Lankan Tamils adopted a resolution which said that Members of Parliament (MPs) from Tamil Nadu will resign from the Parliament if the Union Government does not come forward to ensure a cease-fire in Sri Lanka within two weeks.

There are 39 MPs in the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) from Tamil Nadu and one from Puducherry. Leaders of all the parties in the State that are represented in the Lok Sabha, barring the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam which has the support of two members, agreed to abide by the resolution.

"The rights and welfare of the Tamil community of Sri Lanka should not get enmeshed in the ongoing hostilities against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). We encourage the government of Sri Lanka to continue to nurture the democratic process in the Eastern province as well," said Mukherjee. India has also taken up with the Sri Lankan government the need to ensure the safety of its fishermen.

The Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) ‘publicity secretary’ Sainkupar Nongtraw, on October 24 rejected the talks offer made by Meghalaya Director General of Police B. K. Dey Sawian, who recently stated that the doors were open for the Khasi outfit to come to the negotiating table. "HNLC has no agenda to hold talks with the State Government or its Police Department as they are only actors of the Indian Puppet Government," Nongtraw said. He added that the State Government's invitation to HNLC for talks was aimed at creating "mistrust and confusion among the people." The HNLC said that it had sent a letter to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2003 offering to hold talks, adding the outfit was yet to get a reply from the Centre. The report added that the HNLC had earlier prioritised six points to be included in the cease-fire agreement with the Centre. They included lifting of the ban on the outfit, talks in a "neutral" country with safe passage to its cadres, supporters and sympathisers and a transparent agenda for talks.

Indian Express reports that the Orissa Government has initiated steps to start a scheme of deploying 2,000 armed tribal youths as special police officers (SPOs) in five Maoist-infested districts to fight the extremists. A Orissa Home Department resolution (No 47958 dated October 25, 2008) indicates that tribal men and women in the age group of 18-25 years from Maoist-infested districts of Malkangiri, Koraput, Gajapati, Rayagada and Kandhamal districts would be appointed on a contractual basis for the first three years. Required to pass at least Standard VIII, they would undergo training in arms and ammunition like a regular policeman. As SPOs, they would be paid INR 4,000 in the first two years and INR 4,500 in the third year after which they might be absorbed as sepoys or constables in the regular police vacancies. A senior home department official said, “It’s just like Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist civilian vigilante movement in Chhattisgarh). They will be doing the same things that the SPOs in Chhattisgarh are doing. The aim is to let the tribals defend themselves against the onslaught of Maoists.”
