According to a delayed report, following a fierce gun battle, on May 28, two camps belonging to the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) were destroyed. One of the camps reportedly housed a general headquarter of the outfit in the Deoparbat jungles, Tirap district. The encounter took place, after personnel of the Assam Rifles, acting on a tip-off, cordoned the area, where a group of 30 terrorists had taken shelter. Three terrorists and one security force personnel were injured in the exchange of fire. All the terrorists, however, managed to escape. According to official sources, the structures were in the final stages of completion for the outfit’s ‘Operation Salvation’ launched in the State’s Tirap and Changlang districts.

The Special Armed Forces (SAF) would provide training to the Force. It will be given special training in jungle warfare and in handling sophisticated weapons. The decision to form the Hawk Force was taken nearly eight months back in the undivided Madhya Pradesh. However, the bifurcation of Madhya Pradesh caused some delay in the decision to deploy it, as most of the Naxalite infested districts went to the newly formed State of Chhattisgarh.

Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief commander' Adul Majid Dar, in an interview, said the Hizb was willing to halt all its terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir if India and Pakistan adopted a `realistic approach' to the Kashmir issue. According to him, ``We know there cannot be miracles overnight. Our criteria will be the joint statement issued after the meeting between the two leaders. If they agree to solve the problem and, in principle, agree that it is a dispute and should be solved according to the wishes of the people, we will react accordingly.'' Commenting on the recent visit of the Union government’s Chief Interlocutor, K. C. Pant, Dar said it was ``a confused move... Last year we announced a cease-fire. If the government had invited the Hurriyat and the Hizb for talks and simultaneously engaged in a dialogue with Pakistan, probably a solution would have emerged by now. And, if it had announced similar measures during the Ramadan cease-fire, it could have helped in confidence-building.'' On the cease-fire declared by the Hizb, he pointed, ``though our cease-fire worked for only 15 days, it was real. During the government cease-fire there was some peace in the first few days, but the initiative was sabotaged due to internal rifts between the State and Central agencies... The counter-insurgency unit of the State police never enforced the ceasefire and custodial killings continued.''

The Muttahida Quami Movement - Altaf (MQM-A) in a statement released from Karachi, on June 3 has opposed the current illegal arms recovery operation launched by the Interior Ministry. According to the statement, the proposed campaign of recovery of weapons was "a plan for bloodshed in Karachi." It also said ‘operation cleanup’ launched in June 1992 was transformed into a crackdown on the party in which many MQM-A activists were either killed or arrested. Expressing concern, the statement added that the proposed de-weaponisation plan would also be like the 1992-operation and urged the Interior Ministry to commence the campaign from the Punjab "if they were sincere in the recovery of illegal arms."

Altaf Hussain, the chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement–Altaf (MQM-A), has been quoted in the Pakistani media as planning to seek appointments with Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He reportedly appealed to Indian Muslims to protest the injustice against the Mohajirs by the military regime in Pakistan. According to him, "Nothing is impossible... When I make a programme to have a meeting with Prime Minister Vajpayee... I will make it public and I will not do this secretly." While threatening to launch a "Mohajir Bahini", he added, "The people will not wait for whether I call for forming Mohajir Bahini or not. It is retribution. If the prevailing things do not change, atrocities on them are not stopped and they are denied their due rights, they can do this at any time." On the forthcoming Summit meeting between Gen. Musharraf and the Indian Premier, he said the Indian invitation to the Pakistani military ruler for talks was "a good step towards establishment of peace in the region .... And hopefully it will help resolve the Kashmir issue through negotiations."

Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief Syed Salahuddin said, in an interview in Islamabad, on June 7, that the forthcoming Summit meeting between the Pakistan Chief Executive Gen. Pervez Musharraf and Indian Premier Atal Behari Vajpayee will not affect the terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir. According to him, "Talks and the fighting can go on side by side. We won't silence our guns, and they can keep on talking. ... It happened like this in many other conflicts -- from Vietnam to Afghanistan." Referring to the Indian invitation to Gen. Musharraf, he said terrorist operations in the State had ‘forced’ India towards a negotiating agenda. He also added that "We are not opposed to talks, but we doubt India's sincerity and seriousness.

On June 11, senior Delhi Police officials held high level meeting with the Lt-Governor and Home Ministry officials to assess the terrorist threat in the national capital particularly in view of General Musharraf's visit and the Afro-Asian games. Recent intelligence inputs had reportedly suggested that several terrorist outfits were trying to scuttle the new peace initiative by planning a series of attacks in Delhi. Reports even claimed that a team of trained terrorists is believed to be on their way to New Delhi. A senior police official, while talking to newsmen, said, "So far we only know that certain buildings, installations and people in Delhi may be targeted. But the how, who and when still remain to be answered.'' He also pointed out that there had been a distinct shift in the strategy adopted by the terrorists. While earlier they struck in the walled city area, it was high profile targets in New Delhi, which was being targeted now.

He added that taking advantage of the extension in the truce area, the NSCN-IM might now provide cover to cadres of outfits like the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) inside the State. He expressed disappointment at the Union Home Ministry not taking the State government into confidence before deciding to extend the area of the cease-fire with the NSCN-IM.

Senior Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader UI Haque, while speaking to a news agency from Bhado, West Bengal, on June 15, said the outfit was considering launching a political party to 'safeguard the religious freedom' of minority communities. He said, "SIMI has no faith in any Indian political party, as all of them are out to restrict religious freedom provided in the constitution."

On June 18, Naga Hoho, the apex Naga Tribal Council, said it favoured a dialogue between the Meiteis and Nagas in Manipur and urged them to exercise maximum restraint. The appeal comes in the wake of large-scale violence in Manipur against the extension of the area of Naga cease-fire to the Naga-inhabited parts in the State. The extension was agreed upon between the Union government and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) without any territorial limits. Naga Ho Ho president M Vero, in a statement in Kohima, said the ongoing protest spearheaded by All Manipur United Clubs Organisation (AMUCO) and All Manipur Students Union (AMSU) is against the ‘wishes of the Nagas and disregarded their sufferings and struggle for more than 50 years.’

While indicating that the current Indian peace initiatives were due to the ‘successes’ of terrorist operations, he added that the outfit would continue its operations till the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan is achieved.

Speaking to newsmen at Mohali in Punjab, on June 28, the separatist Sikh leader and Khalistan ideologue Jagjit Singh Chauhan said he would remain active for the cause of Khalistan. Chauhan, who returned to India after spending 21 years in exile in the United Kingdom, claimed that the undercurrents of the Khalistan movement were very strong there and in other western countries. He added that the urge for Khalistan manifests in the form of protests, conferences, rallies and demonstrations and also in the form of several pro-Khalistan magazines published in the UK. The Federation of Sikh Organisations, which serves as the platform for different organisations, continues to hold periodic meetings. Chauhan said he had been in touch with various pro-Khalistan groups and terrorist leaders such as the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and the International Sikh Youth federation (ISYF). But he denied having links with groups and terrorist leaders based in Pakistan. He also revealed that he had been in touch with Wassan Singh Zaffarwal after the latter left Pakistan. He said, "We have planned to come to India. Since Zaffarwal decided to follow the illegal route in order to return, he was able to make it much earlier."
