Bonnya Barua, daughter of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia, spoke against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016, on July 4 at the 38th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, reports Scroll. She stated that if passed, would reduce the indigenous communities of Assam to minority groups. She spoke on behalf of the Indigenous Forum of Assam, a platform of around 30 organisations representing the state’s indigenous communities. Barua is a member of the forum while her father is its convenor. The Citizenship Amendment Bill aims to make crucial changes to the Citizenship Act of 1955. If passed, it would make undocumented immigrants – Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and Parsis – from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh eligible for citizenship. It would also ease the terms for naturalization of individuals from these groups. Several groups in Assam have objected to the proposed amendments.

Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) Swaraj Bir Singh in an interview stated that Operation Hill storm’ launched in 2014 as a turning point of the police fight against militancy in Garo Hills, reports The Sentinel on July 20. He also stated that collective efforts led to the liquidation of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). The DGP stated that GNLA’s reign of terror had even made the morale of the police to nose dive at one point of time; but Operation Hill Storm launched in a systematic manner changed the entire scenario. “Under Operation Hill Storm we gave total autonomy to the district police and the backing of a good intelligence network consolidated our success in the phase 2, 3 and 4 of the operations against the militants’. He also added that ‘We keep reviewing our operational strategies and knew that the spate of surrender was bound to come’. DGP also confided that the recovery of huge catche of GNLA ammunitions from the jungles of Garo Hills was a surprise. Besides sophisticated guns, ammunition, Improvised Explosive device (IED) even Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) and launchers that can hit a helicopter were recovered in the past couple of months. “We knew about their arsenal but it’s the bulk that surprised us,” stated Singh even as he added that it is the people who guided the police to the areas where the arms and ammunitions were stacked. “The fear of the GNLA has come out of their mind and they assisted us in our search for hidden weapons.

The Government of India (GoI) has informed a Parliamentary panel that it signed a framework agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) after it agreed on a settlement within the Indian federation with a “special status, reports The Hindu on July 20. R. N. Ravi, interlocutor for the Naga talks, told the committee that it was a departure from their earlier position of “with India, not within India,” and that the government called it a framework agreement and signed it. On being asked what the special arrangement will be, the Committee was told that with respect to Nagaland...Article 371A of the Constitution makes it clear that they are special and a special status has been accorded to them.A similar kind of status, with some local variation, and some change to the Nagas in the neighbouring States can be explored. According to the report, Mr. Ravi also informed the committee that the Nagas had now reached a common understanding with the government that “boundaries of the States will not be touched” and “some special arrangements would be made for the Nagas, wherever they are.” The Interlocutor apprised the committee about the broad status of the negotiations that boundaries of any State will neither be changed nor altered. Initially, the Nagas had stuck to the idea of unification of Naga inhabited areas, resolutely maintaining their stand of ‘no integration, no solution.’ However, they have now reached a common understanding with the Government that boundaries of States will not be touched,” the report said. The NSCN-IM has been fighting for ‘Greater Nagaland’ — it wants to extend its borders by including Naga-dominated areas in neighbouring States.

The Mizoram government will go ahead with repatriation of over 32,800 Brus from Tripura to the state in accordance with the quadripartite agreement between the Centre, the Tripura and Mizoram governments and the Mizoram Bru Displaced People's Forum, reports The Telegraph on July 21. Mizoram Home Secretary Lalnunmawia Chuaungo stated that ‘We will repatriate those willing to return to Mizoram. Those who are not willing, will stay back in transit camps’. Chuaungo said some Bru families who had not been covered during the identification process in November 2016, wanted identification before repatriation begins. But the Mizoram Government opposed the proposal as it wanted to carry out repatriation first. According to the agreement signed in New Delhi on July 3, repatriation of 32,876 Brus from 5,407 families will commence on August 16 and be completed by September 30. Chuaungo said though the repatriation process is scheduled to be completed by September 30, the Centre has asked the State Government to complete it by September 10 as the Election Commission wants to publish the final electoral roll on November 27, before the Assembly election. He said efforts would be made to close down relief camps in Tripura even if some Brus refuse to return. Additionally, Tripura Police have registered an FIR against 60 persons who held Bru refugee leaders hostage in transit camps for nearly six hours on July 16 and forced them to withdraw from the quadripartite repatriation agreement, reports The Telegraph. According to Inspector General (IG), Police registered a suo motu FIR at Kanchanpur Police Station in North Tripura District against four Bru refugee leaders and several other associates who held leaders of the Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Forum (MBDPF) hostage in the organisation's office at Naisingpara refugee camp. During the incident the forum's president, Apeto Sawibunga, signed a document which said, "I, A. Sawibunga, president of the MBDPF and one of the signatories of Four-Corner Agreement have withdrawn the agreement, which was signed on July 3 in New Delhi, involving the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), Government of Tripura, Government of Mizoram and the forum today on July 16 due to a strong agitation against MBDPF leaders from the general/mass public in the presence of the officials of the Government of Tripura." The document was also counter-signed by the Sub-divisional magistrate of Kanchanpur Sajal Biswas, Sub-Divisional Police officer Kiran Kumar and Deputy collector Animesh Debbarma. According to a Police official, ‘The agreement was signed by four parties, all of whom are still consenting. The agitating refugee leaders held a rally without permission, held the MBDPF leaders hostage, forced them to withdraw from the agreement and obstructed government officials from duty. We have lodged a complaint against 60 such persons. Many of them are still being identified’.

The naked demonstration was jointly organised by 24 tribal organizations.

Working Committee (WC) of the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) has sought to clear air on the ongoing talks with the Government of India, reports Morung Express on July 22. In a press statement, the media cell of the WC-NNPGs said in recent days, media outlets have been active on the Indo-Naga political talks, touching subject matters that do not conform to the agreed position or preamble to negotiations signed on November 17, 2017 in New Delhi. Seeking to clear any confusion, the press statement said the NNPGs under the banner of Working Committee (WC), with N Kitovi Zhimomi as convenor and and five Co-conveners, all from different Political Groups- Zhopra Vero, ‘vice president’ Federal Government of Nagalad (FGN), Y Wangtin Naga of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Reformation (NSCN-R), Hozheto Chophy of Naga National Council (NNC) and Kiumukam Yimchunger NNC-GDRN are presently engaged in the negotiations with the GoI, represented by R. N Ravi, the Interlocutor, who is also the interlocutor in the talks with NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM). Meanwhile, NSCN-IM stated on July 21 that that at no point of time in the negotiations with GoI, the NSCN had softened its stand on the issues of Naga history, identity, rights including integration of all Naga areas, let alone accepting the Indian constitution, reports Morung Express. While asserting that the relationship between the GoI and the Nagas shall be based on the agreement arrived at, the NSCN (IM) said the agreement should not be distorted by anyone. Additionally, The Hindu on July 22 reported that Naga peace accord, is almost ready but the government has to decide on the signatory. There is confusion on who will sign the agreement on behalf of the Naga groups and a decision on this could take some time. After signing an agreement with the NSCN-IM, Indian Government signed a preamble in November 2017 with NNPGs. to hold further discussions to find a solution to the long-standing Naga issue. However, it is not clear how long it will take to get all the factions on the same page. According to the report, there is understanding that while there will be no redrawing of the maps for Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur to merge the Naga inhabited areas with Nagaland for a Greater Nagaland or Nagalim, Nagas living in these States would get “special rights” on “land and resources. Additionally the Union Ministry of Home Officials (UMHA) informed parliamentary officials that NSCN-IM has had the largest extortion network spanning almost all of the villages of Nagaland. It also emerged as the biggest supplier of arms in the Northeast. Arms were smuggled from China, through Bangladesh and sold to insurgent outfits across the region. GoI has proposed an auxiliary battalion for the cadres of NSCN-IM, who have been living in a camp in Hebron.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has landed in trouble following the decision of the Myanmar government to break the ceasefire. Myanmar Army has restricted the movement of NSCN-K's Khango Konyak beyond Hangsen and instructed them to return in Taga area, the central headquarters of NSCN-K. NSCN-K allegedly suspect that the Myanmar Army may arrest their top leaders and handover them to Indian Government. Due to the fear of arrest, many of the group leaders are hiding at an unspecified location in the jungle. NSCN-K central headquarters of NSCN-K in Myanmar’s Sagaing division remained intact despite a confrontation with the Myanmar Army. NSCN-K functionaries stated that altercation with the Myanmar Army was triggered over a check post of the rebel group near a Buddhist monastery at Taga in Hukwang Valley where its central headquarters is located. A source stated that around 100 personnel from the army are stationed near the monastery and they wanted the outpost to be dismantled. NSCN-K was initially reluctant but later decided to withdraw. There was no exchange of fire. First post further reports that reports claiming an operation has been launched by the Myanmar Army against the rebel camps and training facilities in Taga is questionable as the test between NSCN-K and Myanmar Army has been cordial. Isak Sumi a Yangon-based spokesperson of NSCN-K had earlier stated that the stand-off between the Myanmar Army and the Naga Army has temporarily been resolved without untoward incident, but the Naga Army had to make a tactical withdrawal. His statement was misinterpreted to mean that the Myanmar Army launched a crackdown against the camps in deference to the continuous pleas from the Indian government to dismantle these facilities. Though it is not precisely known if NSCN-K chairman Khango Konyak has shifted from the headquarters, what appears certain is the presence of many mid-rung leaders from all the outfits in Taga currently. The camp belongs to eight groups from Assam and Manipur and is within a radius of 10 kilometres from the NSCN-K headquarters and only consists of only a few huts.

All preparations have been completed for the publication of the complete draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) at 10 am on July 30 (today), reports Assam Tribune. However, the date for publication of the final NRC is yet to be decided and that will be announced only after the claims and objections are disposed of. State Coordinator for the NRC, Prateek Hajela said that the process of updating the NRC, which started in 2015, would reach a crucial stage with the publication of the complete draft. The first draft of the NRC, published on December 31 last year, contained only names of the applicants, but the final draft would have photos, place of birth and names of parents along with the names of the applicants who were found to be eligible for inclusion in the NRC. It may be mentioned here that around 3.29 crore people applied for inclusion of their names in the NRC and names of around 1.90 crore people were included in the first draft. However, names of 1,50,000 people, which were included in the first draft, would not figure in the complete draft as mismatches were found during the family tree verification.

National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published in Assam on July 30, reports The Shillong Times. In the draft, a total of 2,89,83,677 were on the list out of the total applicants of 3,29,91,384, leaving out 40,07,707 applicants out of the final draft NRC. State coordinator of NRC Prateek Hajela stated that out of the over 40 lakh applicants whose name have failed to make it to the final draft NRC, about 2.48 lakh including “D’ (doubtful) voters and their descendants were such people whose applications had been put on hold. Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on July 30 stated that the people would maintain age-old social harmony in the state ignoring the instigating comments and misinformation campaign made by certain vested quarters. He also expressed gratitude to the Supreme Court for monitoring the entire exercise. Meanwhile Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, attempting to allay any fears regarding the NRC stated that ‘Some people are unnecessarily trying to create an atmosphere of fear. I want to assure all that there is no need for any apprehension or fear. Some misinformation is also being spread. NRC process has been done impartially. Some people may not have been able to submit necessary documents. They will get full opportunity through Claims and Objections process. I want to clarify that even after the final NRC, every person will get an opportunity to approach the Foreigners’ Tribunal’.The process of NRC update was taken up in Assam as per order of the Supreme Court of India in 2013. The idea behind the exercise to update the citizens document for the first time since 1951 under the supervision of the top court is to identify “genuine citizens” living in Assam and detect illegal immigrants. Individuals who cannot prove that they or their ancestors entered the country before midnight of March 24, 1971 (cut-off year decided as per the Assam Accord of 1985) will be deemed as illegal immigrants.
