NSCN-IM reiterated that there was no official and bilateral agreement which showed that the three words “without territorial limits” have been “deleted” or “non-existent” as “wildly claimed” by NK Singh.

The Shillong Times reports that two senior militants of the Liberation of A’chik Elite Force (LAEF) were arrested by Police in the night of September 6 who revealed that the armed group has been expanding their area of operations and making inroads into Garo Hills. Mingnam K. Sangma was arrested from his wife’s home in Rongtu village of Bajengdoba in North Garo Hills. He hailed from Gosingpita village and was originally with the Breakaway faction of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) group before joining the LAEF. Based on his leads, a joint team of Garo Hills and Assam Police raided Garo Kasumari village in Goalpara District and arrested the ‘commander of the finance unit’ of LAEF Sengrak K Marak (23). Through their revelations, Police know that the new ‘chairman’ of LAEF is one Biltang while Mathew Marak of Bakrapur village of Assam is the ‘military chief’. Mathew was a senior cadre who was arrested with three other cadres in Ri-Bhoi District of Meghalaya some years ago.

The outfit had virtually ceased to exist following the killing of their ‘military chief’ and former police commando Peter Marak in 2006-07. The arrested duo has revealed to police that there are as many as thirteen AK rifles, ten numbers of 9mm pistols and other assortment of weapons and grenades including rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) in just two command structures of the group.

In this backdrop, the Hoho appeal to all the stakeholders or negotiators not to mislead the people with regard to ceasefire coverage and the same spirit should be maintained even with other Naga political groups so long the ceasefire remains.

ANVC ‘spokesman’ Artist Sengsrang Sangma stated, “We will continue with our demand for creation of separate Garoland state (to be carved out of Meghalaya) not under the banner of the ANVC but politically and non-violence after signing the peace pact with the central and Meghalaya government." He further added, “This issue is very much alive as 80 per cent of our Garo people in Garo Hills wants a state of their own i.e. Garoland. There are political parties, civil society groups besides armed outfit the GNLA demanding for the same”. He added further, “We realised that an armed struggle against the state won’t help us achieve our goal. Many lives have been lost during the armed struggle for creation of Garoland.” The Telegraph further adds that when asked about whether the peace pact would bring lasting harmony in the strife-torn Garo hills where militant outfits have been emerging, disappearing and re-emerging Arist Sangma stated, “Maybe we will not be able to achieve it (peace) 100 per cent through the peace pact. But we will continue working towards achieving peace.” In Garo Hills political parties like the National People’s Party (NPP) and the Garo National Council had voiced their demand for a separate Garoland.

Government of India (GoI) will soon come out with a new policy for dealing with militancy in the northeastern region and the existing policy is being reviewed thoroughly, reports The Assam Tribune on September 29. The Government is also examining the viability of continuing with the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). An unnamed official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stated that the policy of talking with any militant group which expresses its desire for talks may be amended. It is now being reviewed whether the talks are yielding the desired results as new outfits are cropping up every year in the North East and on most occasions, the splinter groups of the outfits under ceasefire agreement are creating major problems. He further added that the ongoing talks with the militant outfits would continue but the Government is concerned over the slow progress and may decide to set deadlines to complete the process with every outfit. Official also pointed out that sometimes shortage of Central forces creates problems as the States keep asking for more forces and only strengthening of the State police forces would reduce the over-dependence on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and other such forces. MHA sources further said that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh would personally review the policies and the situation in the North East before formally announcing the new policy to deal with militancy in the region. GoI is also reviewing the pros and cons of using AFSPA for years.
