Noklem Wansu, a hardcore cadre of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) operating in Longding sub-division of Tirap District, was arrested from Longding market in Tirap District by the Assam Rifles April 4, reports Telegraph. During interrogation, it was revealed that he was using his Army identity card to carry out criminal activities, including extortion. A senior Assam Rifles officer said “We have recovered an Indian army identity card bearing No. F479968 from Noklem Wansu, a self-styled sergeant major in the NSCN (K). During the initial interrogation he revealed that he was enrolled into the Assam regiment of the army in 1996 and after 11 years of service he deserted his battalion.” Post desertion, he joined the NSCN-K in 2007. Being a trained soldier of the Army, he was enrolled as ‘sergeant major’. Using the Army identity card, he could easily access the Government offices and pass through Police and security checkpoints, the official added. The NSCN-K also used Wansu to spread rumours that many more like him were deserting the Army and joining the outfit. Initial interrogation has also revealed that he had collected huge amount of ransom from Government Departments and the people in 2009. Wansu is a resident of Zedua, a village near Longding, which is considered a hub of militant activities.

The Union Government decided to launch a full-scale operation against both the factions of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) in Tirap and Changlang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh. This decision was taken during the recent visit of the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram to Arunachal Pradesh. Official sources said that the main purpose of the visit of Chidambaram was to assess the situation on the ground following reports of disturbance in Tirap and Changlang Districts. Sources further said that though Arunachal Pradesh is a relatively peaceful State, activities of both factions of the NSCN became a matter of serious concern. The cadres of the NSCN factions are indulging in large-scale extortions, abductions, etc. in the two Districts, while there have been reports that the NSCN cadres also forced local youths to work for them. Sources said that though the cadres of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) also visit Tirap and Changlang Districts from time to time, their activities have not caused much concern as yet. “The ULFA and NDFB use the area for tactical retreat whenever pressure is mounted on them in Assam and though there were some reports of the members of the groups indulging in extortions, they have not created much trouble in the area so far. Moreover, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), which is demanding inclusion of the Districts in the ‘Greater Nagalim’, has a stake in the area, which the ULFA and NDFB do not have,” sources added.

According to Telegraph, United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is said to have stepped up activities across some pockets in Upper Assam with a group entering Borhat in Sivasagar District and the Kakopathar-Pengeri areas in Tinsukia District, prompting SFs to sound an alert. The development comes ahead of the outfit’s Raising Day on April 7, a day when it has carried out strikes in the past. An MIU source said “The group is equipped with sophisticated weapons like AK-series rifles, hand grenades and a huge quantity of explosives. We are tracking them and hope to get them soon.” The sources added that the group had come from the Myanmar camps of the outfit and entered Assam through Tirap District of Arunachal Pradesh. However, the tardy progress in the peace process affected the confidence of the pro-talks ULFA group and boosted the morale of the anti-talks faction. There is another report of yet another seven-member group entering the Pengeri-Kakopathar-Bordumsa area in Tinsukia District. All these areas had always been a hotbed for the outfit. “We are tracking the movements of this group. An alert had been sounded throughout the district and we are confident that we will be able to prevent this group from carrying out any acts of violence,” a senior Police official of the District said. Mrinal Hazarika, a leader of the pro-talks ULFA camp, blamed the State as well as the Union Government for the reported resurgence of ULFA in Upper Assam. He said “Talks are the only possible way out. We will keep on repeating this. Direct talks between the Centre and the outfit are the only solution.”

Manipur continues to be the hotbed of insurgency followed by Assam as 150 violent incidents have been reported in the two States in last three months, claiming 100 lives, reports Sangai Express. According to Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), those killed included 77 militants, 20 civilians and three Security Force (SF) personnel. Altogether, 105 persons were killed in six Northeastern States — Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh —in 174 incidents till March. Mizoram had no major insurgency and was comparatively a peaceful State. In 2009, 435 persons, including 81 civilians and 336 insurgents, were killed in 659 incidents in Manipur, while 368 persons, including 152 civilians, were killed in 424 incidents in Assam. 517 persons, including 364 militants, were killed in 2008 in Manipur while 373 persons, including 245 civilians, lost their lives in Assam in the same year. A MHA official said, "Though there is a declining trend in the incidents of violence, both Manipur and Assam continue to be the most troubled States in the North east." Overall, there were 1297 incidents of violence that claimed 877 lives, including 571 militants and 264 civilians, in 2009 in the entire Northeast. There were 1,561 incidents in the region in 2008 in which 1,152 people, including 466 civilians, lost their lives. The MHA report stated that Nagaland, home to major insurgent groups like National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), has become relatively peaceful, thanks to the peace pacts signed by the two groups with the Government. Though there were 12 incidents of violence in the first three months of 2010 in Nagaland, there was no report of any casualty while in 2009 only 31 persons lost their lives. However, in 2008, the State saw 321 incidents in which 213 persons, including 140 extremists and 70 civilians, were killed. In Meghalaya, four persons were killed in 2010 in five different incidents while one person was killed in Arunachal Pradesh. Though, there were nine incidents in Tripura in 2010, no report of any casualty has come from the State. In 2009, 22 persons lost their lives in Arunachal Pradesh, nine in Meghalaya and 10 in Tripura.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that operations against ULFA would continue because the outfit was still recruiting cadres. “If Ulfa continues to indulge in violence we will keep our operations going. We can’t lower our guard,” Gogoi said. Chief Minister on April 7 said that the Maoists had attempted to infiltrate the border areas of Assam over the past few years but failed because of “preventive measures”. Gogoi said, “What happened in Chhattisgarh is very dangerous. Assam is also vulnerable because the Maoists have been trying to build a base in the state’s border areas and tea gardens. They have not been successful because our forces are more experienced in tackling insurgents and also because we have treated the Maoist issue seriously from the outset.”

A new militant outfit, Liberal Democratic Council of Misingland (LDCM), was formed in Mising-inhabited areas. The Mising Autonomous Demand Committee (MADC) believes that there is a political force behind the birth of the outfit for which arms have been bought with money that was siphoned off the former Mising Autonomous Council (MAC). The existence of the LDCM came to light recently when cadres of the outfit were arrested in Lakhimpur District. MADC working president Jiban Kuli said, “There is a political force behind the LDCM. Large-scale corruption in the former MAC helped formation of the outfit. Money belonging to the previous Council has been used for buying arms for the LDCM.” Kuli also alleged that the LDCM had been formed at Jonai Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Bhubon Pegu’s behest. Kuli observed that the LDCM could be used for destroying the Congress party in Mising-inhabited areas even as he said the sole aim of the outfit was to foment violence. “Majority of the LDCM members are people who were involved in cases of theft and looting,” he further added.

The Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) slapped a demand of INR three million on a local car dealer, according to Shillong Times. Sources said that the HNLC is taking advantage of the turmoil prevailing in the State and the resurgence of militancy in Garo Hills to send a message that the Khasi and Jaintia Hills are its turf and no one can operate in that space. The report adds that several others, including coal traders and businessmen, received extortion notes in recent times but they all decided to remain silent and negotiate with the outfit. Sources said that many of these businessmen who have received extortion notes do not have enough faith in the system to seek for any kind of help. They preferred to negotiate and pay some amount to the outfit and continue with their businesses than counter the militants. Sources said that HNLC remained immobile for sometime but a senior Police official said, "it is a matter of time before they resurface because the State does not seem to have a policy to deal with them." Several young recruits have joined the outfit in recent times and negated the efforts of the State Police to immobilize the outfit, said sources.

Bangladesh Government assured Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar that it would take effective steps against Indian insurgents holed up in that country, reports Assam Tribune. “During my visit to Dhaka last month, I met Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and spoke to her about the presence of the North East insurgents in that country. She assured me that effective steps would be taken against the ultras and they would not be allowed to use the soil of Bangladesh,” Sarkar said on April 9. Manik Sarkar told Hasina that Tripura Government had sent a detailed list of the insurgent camps in Bangladesh to former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and she had also made counter complaints that there were camps of anti-Bangladesh elements in India. “However, when we proposed for joint inspection, there was no response from the Bangladesh side,” he said.

Telegraph reports that United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leader Arabinda Rajkhowa’s former personal bodyguard, Dilip Barman, was attacked in Dhubri on April 7. Therefore, the Dhubri Zila Praktan ULFA Samannayrakshi Samiti (an organisation of former ULFA cadres) has called a 12-hour Dhubri District bandh (general shutdown) beginning from 5am, April 9 (today). Dilip Barman is a central committee member of the organisation. The president of the Samiti, Sushil Chandra Roy, said that Barman was attacked by Bodoland Peoples' Front (BPF) candidate Doneswar Goyari and his armed supporters when he was on his way back home from his uncle’s house in Satipara village in the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD). Meanwhile, the Samiti asked Assam Governor J.B. Patnaik to use his office to get ULFA, ‘general secretary’, Anup Chetia, extradited from Bangladesh. A seven-member group of the Samiti in a memorandum also said the Government and ULFA should start honourable talks at the earliest and Chetia should be part of the dialogue. Chetia is in custody of Bangladesh. The development comes a day after ULFA, ‘vice-chairman’ Pradip Gogoi, writing in the outfit's mouthpiece, Freedom, said the time had come to seek the opinion of masses, of different organizations and races.

Myanmar’s Ambassador to India U. Kyi Thein at Shillong in Meghalaya on April 10 said that action against Indian insurgents in its territory will be initiated only after receiving military assistance from India. “We have informed India of our requirements to help us in fighting against the insurgents,” the Ambassador said. “India has agreed to provide us our military requirements, but I cannot share with you our requirements,” Thein said. He said, “We also shared the same problem (insurgency) like India. This problem will be sorted once India meet our requirements.” The report adds that there are at least 15 insurgents’ camps operating from Myanmar soil, fighting either for an autonomous or independent homeland in Manipur, Nagaland and Assam. The Centre asked the Myanmar to take action against the militant groups, including Manipur-based United National Liberation Front (UNLF), People’s Liberation Army (PLA), Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK); Assam-based United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and Nagaland-based National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) operating from Sagaing division and the Chin State of Myanmar. Thein said that the problem of insurgency across the India-Myanmar border can be sorted out through infrastructure development. “We (India- Myanmar) now plan to develop infrastructure in the border with special emphasis on enhancing connectivity,” the Ambassador informed.

Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Tako Dabi said that there were definite intelligence inputs about ethnic guerrillas of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) from adjoining Myanmar infiltrating into the State’s Changlang District in recent weeks, reports Sentinel. “We have already launched a military operation to drive out the KIA rebels, although we don’t have any immediate information of them setting up bases in our state,” Dabi said. The Home Minister said the KIA controls large part of northern Myanmar - a region where up to a half-a-dozen Indian separatist groups from the restive Northeast have well entrenched bases under KIA’s direct patronage. “We cannot allow the KIA to stay here for long as it could have dangerous ramifications in the long run as Arunachal Pradesh does not have any home grown terror groups, but the State is becoming a hot bed of imported terror groups. We are also trying to find out if the KIA is trying to become close with the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) of Assam to help them shift bases to Myanmar and China,” the Home Minister further said. The Home Minister added further that two of Assam’s main militant groups, NDFB and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), besides National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Khaplang (NSCN-K) of Nagalnd, have presence in Arunachal Pradesh.

Two All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) cadres, who had deserted the outfit’s Satcherri camp in Habiganj District of Bangladesh, surrendered before the Jirania Police in West District of Tripura on April 11, according to a delayed report. Telegraph reports that they were identified as Khemijay Debbarma and Samprai Debbarma. They revealed in detail picture of the privation and hardship in outfit’s camps in Sylhet and Habiganj Districts and Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. The duo also revealed that ATTF had taken a major initiative to raise a force of women cadres to launch a fresh offensive against civilians and Security Forces (SFs). They said that altogether 187 women cadres of the outfit are being trained in Tarabon, Kalu Adam, Pancherri and Bandarban areas in Bangladesh’s Chittagong Hill Tracts over the past two months. But those camps would be shifted to the nearby Arakan areas of Myanmar in case the Bangladesh Government launched counter-insurgency operation. Source said, “The duo told us that 96 of the women cadres have finished training and are currently training others. They are being trained in the use of arms, tactics of guerrilla warfare and even the technique of making bombs.” The sources, however, expressed concern over the revelation that officers of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) attend and supervise the final phase of training in the use of heavy arms to guide the instructors. ATTF ‘chief’ Ranjit Debbarma had visited the training camps of women cadres and in a speech told them that their job would be not only to fight SFs but lay “honey-traps” for leaders of the rival National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT). Sources also said that Ranjit Debbarma is trying to strike a deal with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to buy arms.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on April 12 admitted the links between insurgent groups like United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), according to Telegraph. “There are reports about links between our insurgent outfits and Maoists. There is a probable link. I don’t find much of a difference between them if you look at their respective ideologies and styles of functioning. Both start off by exploiting sentiments of the masses in underdeveloped areas and try to solve problems through armed struggle. The whole idea is to destabilise the government,” Chief Minister said. Security sources earlier said that if the guns used in the massacre at Dantewada in Chhattisgarh were not all snatched from local Security Forces (SFs), chances are that some of them came from the Northeast, ferried in oil tankers. Sources said that the poorly guarded borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, is now gunrunners’ gateway to India. The region’s assortment of active, “surrendered” or “ceasefire-bound” militants keep the clandestine trade flowing, with a little help from SFs and private business, mentioned sources. The report adds that recent interrogation of a middle-ranked National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militant revealed how easily and how often the insurgents cross the international border carrying ammunitions that may then change hands. Another militant, from the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), spoke of how his group set up a Khasi militant outfit in Meghalaya just to gain control over a gun-smuggling route by proxy. “Don’t think (that arms smuggling takes place through) Kashmir and the western frontier. Those areas are well guarded,” a defence source said in Guwahati. “Whatever goes to the rest of India, including the Maoists, comes from areas such as Myanmar, China and Bangladesh and passes through the Northeast,” said source.

Defence establishment said “over-ground Maoist activists” have already set up base in three Districts in Assam: Goalpara in the west and Dibrugarh and Tinsukia in the east. “The Maoists may snatch some weapons from the security forces and single-barrelled and double-barreled guns from other people, but please understand that all their sophisticated arms go from here,” an Army officer said. Since February 16, 2010, the SFs have seized four AKs, two Dragonov sniper rifles, one M20 7.65-mm pistol and ammunition in Guwahati alone, part of it from a Naga woman courier. Teams of women are the most widely used couriers to bring arms to Guwahati. They are transferred outside the Northeast by some among the hundreds of private oil tankers leaving the region every day, sources said.

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said on April 14 that Assam Government will have no objection in allowing jailed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa to visit his ailing 90-year-old mother, especially with people celebrating Assamese New Year or Bohag Bihu, reports Assam Tribune. Gogoi said, "I received a written appeal from Rajkhowa's family to allow him to see his old mother during Bihu. We have absolutely no problems in allowing the ULFA chairman to go and meet his mother. But since he is in judicial custody, it depends on the court." The Chief Minister further said that the Government would have no objection in allowing even other jailed leaders to visit their families during Bihu beginning on April 15 (today). "We want peace and on the eve of Bihu I am extending my best wishes and greetings to even Paresh Baruah (the elusive ULFA commander-in-chief). Let all of them realise the futility of an armed struggle and see how we all are celebrating Bihu with our families," added Gogoi.

Non-locals in Manipur on April 15 asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to intervene and to take immediate measures to protect their lives and property, according to Indian Express. The Revolutionary People’s Front (RPF), the political wing of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), had in March 2010 issued a statement, asking all non-locals living in the State to leave before May 31. It had described all those who entered Manipur after 1949 (when the erstwhile princely state had merged with the Indian Union) as “non-Manipuris” and said these people were facing “extreme hatred” in State. The Hindustani Samaj of Manipur, an association of non-locals, said the State Government had done nothing to ensure their safety. “As many as 32 non-Manipuris have been killed by militant groups in the state since January while the RPF has asked transporters not to transport non-Manipuri people into the state,” said Nareshwar Kumar, president of the Hindustani Samaj, in a letter to the Prime Minister. “In some areas, these elements are visiting the houses of non-Manipuris and threatening them to leave. As a result, there is a panic among non-Manipuris,” he said. The report adds that about 50,000 non-locals in Manipur from different States, majority of them petty vendors and labourers.

former General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Army's 4 Corps, Lieutenant General (retd) D.B. Shekhatkar warned that though the fundamentalist forces are lying low at this moment, the region is virtually sitting on a sleeping volcano, which may erupt at any time and “one should not be surprised if a demand for separation comes up by the end of the year 2018,” according to Assam Tribune. He also pointed out that effective steps must be taken to prevent infiltration of foreigners to the region and a close watch must be maintained on the activities of the fundamentalist forces. He further pointed out that there have been demands for inclusion of the Northeast in the erstwhile East Pakistan (Bangladesh) since the time of Independence and even today, the demand is raised from time to time. The fundamentalist forces and Islamic militant groups are now lying low but they have their “sleeping cells”, which can become active when they feel that the time is ripe for them to strike. The militant groups backed by Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), including the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), are still active and there is no reason for the fundamentalist forces to use their manpower to create disturbance in the region at this moment.

Telegraph reports that ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua rejected the peace initiative taken by the newly floated Citizen’s Forum stating that the outfit would never compromise on its demand for sovereignty. “We will never compromise on the issue of sovereignty. As such, we fail to understand how the Citizen’s Forum will go ahead with the peace talks without our core demand for independence,” Barua said in an e-mailed statement to the media. The forum had been floated to help broker peace between ULFA and the Government. Assam Tribune quoted Barua saying, “We know that the persons organizing the convention on April 24 are prominent personalities of Assam, but they are committed to the Constitution of India, which took away the legitimate rights of the people of Assam.” Also, the ULFA ‘chief’ added that the ULFA would sit for talks only if the Government of India agrees to hold talks on the issue of sovereignty of Assam and hoped that the convention would not call upon the outfit to come for discussions by giving up its demand and ideology. He said that the prominent citizens of Assam should put pressure on the Government of India to hold talks on the issue of sovereignty of Assam. They should also call upon the Government of India to arrange for a plebiscite on the issue of sovereignty of Assam. Paresh Barua said that 12,000 persons lost their lives during the ULFA’s struggle for restoration of the historical rights of the indigenous people of Assam and now the outfit would never compromise on its demand for the interest of holding talks with the Government of India. “We will not respect any call by the convention of prominent citizens if we are asked to give up our demand,” he asserted.

The ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua in an e-mail to the newly floated Citizen’s Forum’s leader Hiren Gohain, over the panel’s plan to hold a convention on peace, said “There is no question of talks without the issue of sovereignty on the agenda. Agreeing to hold talks without the sovereignty issue would be like surrendering to the colonial forces,” reports Telegraph. Barua’s statement questioned Gohain’s knowledge about ULFA and his commitment to solving the ULFA issue. “We believe that Gohain is not among those intellectuals who are working at the behest of the colonial forces to divide Ulfa. He should try to go deep into the Ulfa issue before coming up with suggestions,” the statement further said. Reacting to Barua’s statement, Gohain said, “I was Ulfa’s critic earlier, I would rather advise Paresh Barua to read my books and numerous articles on the Ulfa issue”. Further, the ‘deputy commander-in-chief’ of the ULFA, Raju Barua, said that it was the central committee of the outfit that was empowered to take a decision in a free and fair atmosphere on holding peace talks with the Government of India, according to Shillong Times. He said that there was no division in the ranks of ULFA and all cadres and leaders of the outfit including those lodged in jail now supported the outfit’s core demand for ‘restoration of sovereignty’ of Assam.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) stated that it might soften its stand on the sovereignty issue, a demand which the group had set as a precondition for talks with the Government, reports PTI. The outfit’s ‘vice chairman’ Pradip Gogoi said, “Sovereignty is a vital demand of the ULFA. The government should show an interest in this demand.” He, however, said “Discussion on sovereignty does not mean it has to be granted.” Gogoi said that the people of Assam are hoping that the Government will create a favourable atmosphere for peace talks and are concerned about the ongoing operations by the Army and Paramilitary Forces. Gogoi hoped that the state-level convention of Committee of Intellectuals, formed to facilitate talks between the Union Government and ULFA, scheduled to be held on April 24 (today), would come out with valuable suggestions to take forward the peace process. He also hoped that the convention would create a favourable atmosphere so that ULFA central committee leaders could meet either outside or inside the jail, where they are currently lodged. Gogoi asked the committee to take a resolution on ULFA leaders missing since ‘Operation All Clear’ by Royal Bhutan Army in 2003 and hoped the Government would give details about them.

Assam Tribune quoting intelligence source reports United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah might have returned to Bangladesh recently. Sources pointed out that Baruah always maintained close links with a section of officers of the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), the intelligence agency of Bangladesh and India still believes that the political leadership of Bangladesh still does not have full control over all the Government agencies. Sources also pointed out that though four ‘central committee leaders’ of the ULFA were handed over to India, most of the hardcore militants, who are operationally active, have not been handed over. Sources said that the ‘chairman’ of the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), Ranjan Daimary, and a number of his followers are still in Bangladesh, while several key leaders of the ULFA, including Antu Chowdang and Drishti Rajkhowa are, also staying in Bangladesh.

The State level convention organized by prominent citizens in Assam called for release of the jailed leaders of the ULFA to enable the outfit to hold its central committee meeting. Sources said that it would be difficult for the Government to do so without going through the judicial process. Sources said that it is unlikely on the part of the Government to grant general amnesty to the ULFA leaders till a settlement is arrived at. However, sources said that if the ULFA leaders in judicial custody apply for bail and the Government does not oppose it, they can come out on bail. On the demand of the convention that both the Government and the ULFA should come forward for talks without any pre-condition, sources said that the Government of India (GoI) is yet to change its position regarding talks. The GoI is of the view that talks with any militant group must be held within the framework of the Constitution of India and the militant groups must give up violence to come for talks. The Government has made it clear that sovereignty is not negotiable and the stand is yet to be changed.

The National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) formed and nurtured several radical outfits like Muslim Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) to get logistical support, shelter and passage in minority-dominated Districts of lower Assam, reports Telegraph. Also, the arrest of a MULTA cadre in Dhubri District on April 23, has unravelled involvement of MULTA in drug peddling. Four months ago, two MULTA cadres had been arrested with 400 grams of brown sugar in Meghalaya’s Garo Hills District on December 29, 2009. Sources said that MULTA that stepped up its drug-peddling activities after intensive counter-insurgency operations against the ULFA and the NDFB, which have been supporting it reduced its strength considerably. Sources mentioned, “This is evident from the fact that many youths of minority community belonging to the NDFB or acting as its linkmen have been arrested from the lower Assam districts in the past few years.” The source added, “The ISI is sitting at the helm of affairs and controlling the situation in the Northeast from Bangladesh and the fundamentalist organisations are carrying out their activities under the umbrella of Ulfa and the NDFB without much hue and cry.” The report adds that it took a long time for the intelligence agencies to understand that ULFA and the NDFB were using these fundamentalist organisations as their conduit. Meanwhile, sources also said that no direct link had been found between the MULTA and any National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) faction. But since MULTA’s patrons, ULFA and the NDFB, camped in Bangladesh and had tactical understanding with the NSCN factions for logistical support, it could be involved in arms racket, mentioned sources. The strategic location of Dhubri serves their purpose very well as the District shares an international border with Bangladesh, inter-State boundaries with Meghalaya and West Bengal and is in close proximity to Bhutan. All the narcotics routed to this part of the region come through Bangladesh. The Police and the Army have seized brown sugar five times in the past three years. Sources said though MULTA had lost considerable strength and was lying low at present, it was not totally depleted.

In addition, ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua once again stated, “ULFA will sit for talks only if sovereignty is included for negotiations. There is no point for the organization to put forth any further proposal.” He said, “Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has violated the rights of the indigenous Assamese by stating that there can be no talks on the issue of sovereignty.” Barua asked people to put pressure on the Government to hold a referendum on the issue of sovereignty.

Sources revealed that the ULFA had divided the upper Assam area into three zones for launching extortion drives. The Districts of Jorhat and Golaghat were in one zone, Dhemaji and Lakhimpur Districts and Majuli River Island were included in the second zone and the Districts of Sivasagar, Dibrugarh and Tinsukia were included in the third zone. Sources said that different sections of people including politicians, traders etc received extortion demands from the ULFA in upper Assam areas. Sources further said that the ‘109th battalion’ of the ULFA had been asked to launch extortion drives in Boko, Palasbari and Chaygaon areas of Kamrup District and in Goalpara District. Drishti Rajkhowa, who heads the battalion, is now believed to be in Bangladesh and Gulit Das and Pradeep Basumatary have been entrusted with the responsibility of extortions on behalf of the battalion. Also, Hira Sarania ‘commander’ of ‘709th battalion’ is still at large and the battalion served extortion notices in parts of Guwahati city.

He played down the threat to his life by the ULFA. “I simply don’t care about ULFA’s threats as these are nothing new to me.
