Addressing a meeting of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Council in Islamabad on October 7, Pakistan's Chief Executive, General Pervez Musharraf, while reaffirming Pakistan's unequivocal support to the "cause of Kashmiri people" asserted that "Pakistan is a party to the Kashmir dispute and this dispute could only be resolved with full participation of Islamabad in any future dialogue." He is reported to have also claimed that "…India would not succeed in its nefarious designs to drive a wedge between Pakistan and the Kashmiri leadership". Even while asserting that the Pakistani state would extend all possible political, diplomatic and moral support to the Kashmiri struggle, he claimed that Pakistan cannot be blamed for what was happening in Indian-controlled Kashmir adding, "it is an indigenous freedom struggle and cannot be dismissed as cross-border terrorism."

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) has urged the Union Government to announce an ``unconditional and unilateral cease-fire in Kashmir to create an atmosphere conducive for the peace process to go forward.'' News reports cite this as the first instance where a mainstream Indian political party, with a base outside the State, has suggested a unilateral cease-fire. Speaking in New Delhi on October 7, a party politburo member said that an " unilateral cease-fire (by the Indian Government) may create an atmosphere of goodwill and confidence among the people of the state who are eager to respond to any positive initiative''. On the same day, in Srinagar, the party's state unit general secretary and state legislator, Yusuf Tarigami told the media that ``India needs to take a bold initiative to save Kashmiris''. He added that India must not compare itself with Pakistan and rather should take " a step forward and initiate a process. If Government of India declares a unilateral ceasefire, it is bound to create an atmosphere of goodwill and confidence''.

In an interview to BBC on October 16, the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen(HM) chief Syed Salahuddin claimed that internal pressure is mounting on India for a cease-fire to pave the way for talks with the terrorist outfits on the Kashmir issue. He added that there was no need for a cease-fire call from the Hizb if India agreed to hold talks. While putting the onus on India to call a cease-fire, he pointed out that the process of dialogue could proceed even during the current terrorist phase. The Hizb chief denied reports about a split in the rank and file of the Hizb on the issue of withdrawal of cease-fire on August 8. He also denied that orders have been issued for the killings of those who favour a dialogue with India. The Hizb chief claimed that the 'chief commander(Operations)' Abdul Majeed Dar and other terrorists were in the Kashmir valley, and carrying out attacks on Indian targets. He said Dar had led the recent attacks in Baramulla, Pattan, Udhampur, and Jammu-Srinagar highway. Clarifying on reports that India may agree to include Pakistan in the talks, he said that the outfit had provided an opportunity to India for the solution of Kashmir issue by announcing a unilateral cease-fire, but India had adopted delaying tactics.

On October 18, 12 terrorists, hailing from different outfits, surrendered to security force authorities at Surankote town in Poonch district. As reported earlier security forces had announced the imminent surrender on October 17. These surrendered terrorists included seven activists of the Harkat-ul-Jehad Islami, two of the Lashkar-e-Toiba activists, two of Tehrik-e-Jehad-e-Islami and one of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. The surrendered terrorists are reported to have said that in "…the name of ‘jehad’ we and our associates were being forced to resort to killings of innocent civilians and other immoral activities", and also added that "we preferred to surrender instead of following the dictates of Pakistan and its mercenaries". Speaking on the occasion, the General Officer Commanding, of the Romeo Force, a counter-insurgent division of the Indian Army, said that he expected other misguided youths, along with the active support of prominent citizens and local population, to support this great cause and come forward in large number to renounce terrorism and restore peace. He called upon other militants to surrender and get rehabilitated honourably rather than losing their lives in the encounters at the behest of foreign mercenaries. He also added that the surrenders were the result of concerted efforts made by army and police in close co-operation with each other.

The Jammu and Kashmir Governor G C Saxena, on October 18, rejected the demand of Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen leader Syed Salahuddin that India should unilaterally declare a cease-fire in the State. Speaking to the media in New Delhi after meeting Union Home Minister L K Advani, he said that the demand of Salahuddin "is a non-starter". He accused Islamabad with being disinclined to support a peace initiative. Clarifying on the possibility of resumption of negotiations between the Government and the terrorists he said "the factors which impelled Hizbul Mujahideen to give a call for a cease-fire are still operating....They (militants) have to make up their mind on which way to go". Elaborating on this, he said that the people in J&K were "totally fed up" with militancy and wanted peace adding that the "…people are also opposing the domination of foreign mercenaries". Maintaining that India "wanted to go ahead" with the dialogue with Hizbul Mujahideen, the Governor clarified that its leadership in Pakistan made "unacceptable" demands, gave an "ultimatum" and "called it off". Speaking on the situation in the State, he asserted that "the success rate of the security forces vis-a-vis the militants has been very good in the last few months" despite intensification of militancy by Pakistan.

A Hizb-ul-Mujahideen spokesperson rejected the fresh offer for talks made by India's Home Minister on October 20. Speaking in Islamabad on October 21, the spokesman said the Hizb rejects any offer of talks which requires laying down arms as a condition. The spokesman was reacting to the recent statement of Indian Home Minister that his government is willing to talk to the Mujahideen if they give up arms and come to the negotiating table. He claimed the offer indicated the frustration of the Indian government. While reiterating the position that it had provided an opportunity to the Indian government in July when it announced a unilateral cease-fire, the Hizb spokesperson said that any further talks can take place only in the presence of an international guarantor. The spokesman also claimed that India had sought the assistance of Israel in fighting terrorism in Kashmir. He added that his outfit had killed some Israelis in Kashmir recently. He also described as a blatant lie the statement of Indian Home Minister that Indian security force personnel have gained more success against terrorists in Kashmir. He claimed that civilians killed by Indian security forces were being described as terrorists.

News reports have indicated a growing controversy involving a leader of the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC), Abdul Gani Lone and some terrorist outfits. Abdul Lone is also the chairman of the Peoples' Conference, a politico-separatist outfit in Kashmir. The controversy began with a news report on October 19, citing Al-Barq's (a terrorist outfit) chief, Malik Bilal Rahi as accusing the Hurriyat leader of siphoning off funds meant for slain terrorists' families and hence, terminated the leader's 'patronage' over the terrorist outfit. He further accused the leader's son of usurping a huge arms cache of the outfit. On October 21, a news report cited a spokesman of Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (another terrorist outfit) as saying that his outfit and two other terrorist outfits, Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen had decided to approach the Al-Barq chief to proceed and identify the hide-outs where the allegedly usurped arms had been concealed. He added that it is "highly dangerous" that someone had reserved arms dumps for capturing power "after the end of Indian occupation" in Kashmir.

Speaking to newsmen in New Delhi, he attributed this approach to the fact that terrorist outfits such as "the Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen are surrogates and proxies acting on behalf of Pakistan, which surely would not like to see return of normalcy in Kashmir".

A news report, citing an unnamed police officer, said that security forces in the state are being gradually equipped to counter the threat from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) which are increasingly being used by terrorists as a low risk strategy. The threat from IEDs have not only affected normal movement in the State but the strategy (adopted by terrorists) of detonating these devices through remote control has put mine detection forces at risk while they are at their job as the incidents on October 16 showed. The remedy, electronic jammers to prevent remote detonation of these devices, was an expensive option since it had to be imported at a high cost of Rs. 10 million per piece. Since the beginning of year 2000, the public sector Bharat Heavy Electrical (BHL-sic) has begun manufacturing an indigenous prototype and so far has supplied 10 pieces to the Army for counter-insurgency operations in Kashmir. The Police department in the State too has made a requisition for these devices.

35 members of the minority Sikh community were massacred on March 21 at Chittisinghpura in Anantnag district by suspected foreign mercenaries.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, on October 31, announced that the State government had accepted the reports of the Inquiry Commissions into the Brakpora and Pahalgam incidents in the State while the Justice Pandian Commission which enquired into the Brakpora firing incident has been asked to inquire into two events that preceded the Brakpora firing namely the Chattisinghpora massacre and the Pathribal "encounter". In the Brakpora incident, several civilians who were part of a protest group were killed in firing by security forces. The incident was investigated by the Justice (retired) Pandian Commission. In the Pahalgam incident, several civilians who were part of a pilgrim group, were killed when two terrorists opened fire on the group and security forces escorting the group retaliated with indiscriminate firing. This incident was investigated by a senior army officer, Lt. Gen. J R Mukherjee. The Chief Minister confirmed earlier news reports citing unofficial sources which said that the Justice Pandian Commission had held personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force and the State police guilty of unjustified and unprovoked firing on a peaceful procession. The Chief Minister also added that the Lt. Gen. J R Mukherjee Commission had held personnel of the CRPF and the State police guilty of "excessive firing" and "dereliction of duty" respectively. He announced that legal action is being taken against personnel indicted in the two incidents. Clarifying on the issue of the then district police of Anantnag district, Farooq Khan, who is currently under suspension but has been absolved of any responsibility by the Pandian Commission, the Chief Minister held that the officer would be reinstated only if the proposed enquiries into the Chattisinghpora massacre and Patribhal 'encounter' absolve him of any guilt. He claimed that this was so since the complaints of the locals in Anantnag district implied that Chittisinghpura, Pathribal and Brakpora were "links of the same chain". Farooq Khan has was the District Police chief when the Chittisinghpura, Pathribal incidents occurred. Referring to the abstracts of the report on the Pahalgam shooting, the Chief Minister announced that one CRPF official and three J&K Police officials were among those who had been identified and indicted by the Inquiry Commission. He added that, on the recommendations of the Committee, the State Government would constitute a committee of top-level bureaucrats to ensure the best possible security and other related arrangements for the Amarnath pilgrims. He said that all recommendations would be implemented so that incidents like that of August 1, 2000, did not occur in future.
