The visiting King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuk has reportedly said that leaders of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) would be invited for talks by Thimpu to discuss the removal of their camps there.

A press release from the Bhutan Embassy in Delhi on September 15 said, "He (the King) said that so long as the Government of Bhutan and the Government of India work closely together, and so long as Bhutan has the goodwill, friendship and support of India, he was confident that the problem can be resolved in the near future."

According to media reports, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J. Jayalalitha, has reportedly urged the Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to drop the Union Minister of State for Non-Conventional Energy and the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader M. Kannappan from the Union Council of Ministers as her Government had decided to take action against him under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) for his alleged support to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). In a four-page letter to the Prime Minister, Jayalalitha said that Kanappan committed an "offence under POTA by supporting the banned LTTE, on the lines of his leader, MDMK general secretary Vaiko". The letter also reportedly indicated that the State Government would invoke POTA against the Minister even if the Prime Minister chose not to drop him because of political reasons. Earlier, on September 16, addressing a party function in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, the Minister said that the MDMK would continue to support the LTTE as it is of the firm opinion that the organization protects the Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Addressing the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York on September 25, the Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee said that Pakistan was using terrorism as "a tool of blackmail", and that just as the world had refused to negotiate with the Al Qaeda or the Taliban, India too would not negotiate with terrorism. The Premier also said that India would not have any dialogue with Islamabad as long as Pakistan continued to sponsor terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Commenting on President Musharraf’s UN speech on the previous day, Vajpayee pointed out that "Yesterday, the President of Pakistan chose this August assembly to make a public admission for the first time that Pakistan is sponsoring terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. After claiming that there is an indigenous struggle in Kashmir, he has offered to encourage a general cessation of violence within Kashmir, in return for reciprocal obligations and restraints.'' A dialogue between India and Pakistan could take place, according to Vajpayee, only when cross-border terrorism stopped or was eradicated by India.
