According to a news report, All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU) advisor U G Brahma said, in Guwahati, on March 4, allayed the apprehension of non-Bodo groups that the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) would not safeguard their interests was unfounded. Noting that the Bhupinder Singh Committee report on the Bodoland issue was outdated, he urged the Assam government to swiftly implement provisions relating to the BTC under the modified Sixth Schedule. However, other news reports indicated that Sanmilita Janagosthi Sangram Parishad (SJSP), a co-ordinating body of 18 non-Bodo organisations, threatened in Guwahati, on March 3, to hold a state-wide stir from March 5 against the proposed BTC. SJSP is opposed to the latter and supports negotiations within the framework suggested by the former.

Speaking in Guwahati on March 6, US Ambassador in India Robert Blackwill said terrorism and infiltration from across India’s borders must stop and said the US was striving to stamp out the problem in all its manifestations. He said, "The United States is concerned with all forms of terrorism and is striving to end it across the globe". Asked about US agenda in India’s Northeast, the Ambassador said the US would like economic development through private enterprise if the constraints were removed. He said, " Foreign direct investors have the whole world to invest but capital does not feel safe where there is political violence. If insurgency in the Northeast is solved, it can boost the economy here". When asked why none of the Northeast terrorist outfits figured in the US list, he said, " We were preoccupied with the Centre (Union government) and particularly those in Jammu and Kashmir". He added that he had discussions with the Chief Ministers of the region and also with police and military about insurgency in the Northeast.

A news report on March 7 said the Co-ordination Committee of Bodoland Movement (CCBM) would launch a counter agitation to oppose the stir called by the Sanmilita Janagosthiya Sangram Samity (SJSS) from today, March 9, in their protest against the Assam government’s decision to form the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC). The SJSS had reportedly threatened to block rail and road transport in Assam over the State government’s alleged indifference to the cause of non-Bodos in the BTC. Reports also said CCBM convenor and All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) president Rabiram Narzary, while speaking in Guwahati on March 7, accused that SJSS of being led by ‘outsiders‘. He also alleged that SJSS leaders Mukut Singha Chutia and Phani Medhi were derailing the peace process in Assam. Narzary further held that the BTC had the full support of all the inhabitants in the area, Bodos as well as non-Bodos.

All Assam Students Union (AASU) president Prabin Boro and advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya, in Guwahati, on March 7, said they would launch a State–wide agitation from today, March 8, in reiteration of their demands, which include implementation of the Assam Accord in toto, hundred per cent reservation for the ‘indigenous citizens of Assam’ in all the elected institutions, introduction of dual citizenship, inner-line permit system in the State and special status to the State comparable to Jammu and Kashmir, media reports said. Explaining the ‘indigenous citizen’ term, they said only those people belonging to Assam and speaking Assamese or any tribal dialect of Assam, or in the case of Cachar the language of the region, should be treated as indigenous people. The leaders also reminded Legislators in the State of their obligation to update and preserve the 1951 National Register of Citizens (NRC) as per the Assam Accord, which has not been done so far, the report added.

The 36-hour agitation called by the Sanmilita Janagosthiya Sangram Samiti (SJSS), a co-ordinating body of the 18 non-Bodo groups, from March 9, in lower Assam districts––Barpeta and Darrang––to register protest against the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) disrupted rail and road transport, reports said on March 10. The report added that some security force personnel were also attacked during that period and their vehicles were burned. However, SJSS chief convenor Brojen Mahanta said the protest was not directed against Bodo groups such as All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU) and the Bodo Liberation Tigers(BLT). Meanwhile ABSU advisor U.G. Brahma reportedly alleged the State government of supporting the SJSS-agitation. He said the police was also ‘seen stopping trucks and other vehicles’.

According to media reports of March 15, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are irked by the alleged change of stand by the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) on the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) in Assam. What has reportedly annoyed the first two outfits is the acceptance of the ’autonomous council status’, instead of, persisting with the ‘demand for a separate homeland’ by the last. The reports also added that the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the NDFB have started supporting the Kamatapur Liberation Organization (KLO). ULFA is allegedly not only working with the KLO but is also training the latter’s recruits in its bases in Bhutan.

The United Liberation Front of Asom’s (ULFA) ‘action group’, has asked its cadres to retreat to the camps in Bhutan, indicated media reports on March 29, quoting an intercepted fax message by the Assam police. The reports said recent counter-insurgency operations in which many ULFA terrorists were killed may be the reason behind this move. However, M Mohanraj, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Law and Order, claimed that ULFA may escalate its activities in future and the ‘instructions’ for the same have already been sent to the terrorists in the State. The outfit is already recruiting fresh cadres in parts of Upper and Lower Assam. It is also forcing people to its ranks, he further said. Apart from continuing its extortion activity, the ULFA is also reported to be procuring weapons. Reportedly, a batch of new recruits have already been sent to Bhutan for training. Mohanraj also called the reported closing down of four camps in Bhutan by the ULFA as false and said these were either re-located or the cadres were shifted elsewhere. The ULFA is also in nexus with the Meghalaya-based Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC) and the Kamatapur Liberation Organization (KLO), he added.
