The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Altaf (MQM-A) chief Altaf Hussain in a press release issued on November 1 from London has voluntarily offered to surrender the party leadership and also invited the views of the people in this regard. He made this offer with a condition that if he surrendered, the Pakistani army should stop the suppression of Mohajirs. He stated that for the cause of 'oppressed' people, he was ready to accept any other leader for the party and is ready to continue as a worker for the struggle for the rights of Mohajirs. In a disclosure, Altaf Hussain said that, after the commencement of the army operation to deal with the violence in Sindh on June 19, 1992, the army offered that if he announced to step down from the leadership then they would not only end the operation against the Mohajirs but also release all the detainees. He said that on the assurances that the legitimate demands of the Mohajirs would be fulfilled, he had announced his retirement from politics. However, as the Pakistani authorities failed to honour their commitment and on the demand of the Mohajirs and the party workers, he once again took charge of the leadership, he added. He stated that in the aftermath of the facts unravelled by him, the Pakistani government has begun levelling charges of sedition against him in an attempt to foster the perception that the cause for their sufferings was his leadership. Meanwhile, the first secretary at the Deputy-High Commission of the United Kingdom, visited Nine-Zero, the headquarters of the MQM-A in London on November 1 and discussed the present political situation in the country particularly Karachi and also heard the grievances of the MQM-A.

Sher Bahadur Deuba, a former Premier and convenor of the Maoist Resolution Committee, has submitted his report to the government on November 7. According to the report, communism has no relevance in Nepal and the Maoist insurgency that has claimed approximately 1,500 lives since 1995 ought to be resolved peacefully. Deuba said that there could be no peace without talks with the Maoists. He also emphasised on the need to bring the Maoists into the political mainstream to end violence and killings. The report wanted both the government and the Maoists to announce a cease-fire. In its view, such a declaration would help create a conducive atmosphere for a dialogue. Moreover, the report believed this to be the first prerequisite for further talks. The report also called on the government to modernise its security forces while pursuing negotiations with the insurgents to end the conflict. It pointed out that the current scenario could be addressed only in a democratic system and communism as championed by the Maoists cannot address the Nepali issues. Deuba opined that the Maoists' aim was to rule by creating fear and insecurity and the police were harassing the people. He also made a scathing attack against the Koirala government for what he called "parallel efforts" to resolve the issue with the insurgents while empowering the commission to resolve the issue, in an apparent reference to a failed attempt last month by Deputy Premier Ram Chandra Paudel to talk directly with the Maoists. The report is due to made public at a later date. The Koirala government has said that it would comment on the report only after a detailed study.

Muttahida Quami Movement-Altaf (MQM-A) chief Altaf Hussain said the outfit had no soft corner for India. In an interview to a Pakistani weekly The Friday Times, he pointed out that the MQM-A did not intend to get anything from India. According to him the outfit was only concerned about Indian Muslims. Altaf also reiterated that it is not their aim to destroy Pakistan. He believed that a democratic Pakistan would be able to resolve its problems with India. Altaf Hussain called for a new Pakistani constitution in line with the 1940 Lahore resolution that would guarantee equal representation to all ethnic nationalities - Sindhi, Baloch, Pashtun, Seraiki and Mohajir - and ensure provincial autonomy. On the issue of links with the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), the external intelligence agency of India, Altaf opined that, "one the one hand we are accused of being the children of the ISI, on the other hand we are blamed for being R&AW agents! One of the two accusations has got to be wrong". He also claimed that since 1992, approximately 15,000 MQM-A activists have been killed by the Pakistani security personnel.

Recent incidents suggest that North Bengal is fast turning into a hotbed of militant activities. Militant outfits such as the Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) along with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) have become quite active in the area. In addition, Islamic militant outfits backed by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan have also started to strengthen their bases in the area. Though the first activity related to militancy was started by terrorists of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) who robbed a bank in the Hashimara area of Jalpaiguri district in 1995, the area was relatively peaceful for the next three years. However, the last two years (1998 and 1999) have witnessed a spate of violence in the form of a blast in a train in the New Jalpaiguri station, in which at least ten persons were killed and more than 20 others were injured. Incidents like looting, abduction of local businessmen, killing of security force personnel and prominent politicians has become recurrent. Of late, the KLO and the ULFA have started an extortion drive targeting the local tea gardens. It is believed that it is only a matter of time before other businessmen are also targeted.

14 persons were killed and many more were injured in an attack by suspected National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) terrorists and the subsequent communal violence that broke out in Borahaldi, a mixed populated village in North Tripura district, on November 19. According to reports, six Bengalis including three women and two children, and a tribal were killed and many others injured as an estimated 40 masked-terrorists, attired in ‘olive-green dress’, first cordoned off the village and then opened indiscriminate fire from automatic weapons. In a retaliatory attack, within hours of the carnage, hundreds of Bengali villagers attacked the adjacent tribal hamlets and set afire around 40 houses. While two women were hacked to death, a couple and their two children were charred in one of the houses. Curfew has been clamped on the Dasda and Santala areas to bring the communal flare-up under control. The police did not rule out the involvement of the terrorists of the Bru National Liberation Front (BNLF) in the killing.

No major incidents of violence were reported from Jammu and Kashmir on November 19 even as the Indian Prime Minister announced a unilateral cessation of operations against terrorists. A delayed report said that a security force personnel was killed during an encounter at Chili, Doda district, on November 18. The Prime Minister's statement, released on November 19, said security forces in the State have been directed not to initiate combat operations against terrorists. This cessation of operations, which came into effect on November 19, is to continue for the period of Ramadhan (28 days, starting from November 26), the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. The Prime Minister, in the statement, added that he hoped "our gesture will be fully appreciated and all violence in the State and infiltration across the Line of Control and the International Border will cease and peace prevail." The statement came after the Cabinet Committee on Security Affairs reportedly deliberated on the issue and the J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah was consulted by the Prime Minister earlier in the day.

Recent anti-social activities in Gandhari, Sadashivnagar, Tadvai, Machareddi and Bhiknur mandals near Kamareddy suggest that many former leftwing extremists, Naxalites, who are used by the police in their war against the People’s War Group (PWG), have amassed vast fortunes through nefarious activities. These former Naxalites are provided with revolvers and at the time of elections, they are assigned the job of transporting ballot boxes in the extremist-dominated areas. However, they are also calling the shots in Nizamabad and neighbouring districts by masquerading as police personnel and are earning money through bullying people and extortion. They have formed themselves into gangs and are resorting to anti-social activities.

The people of North Cachar Hills are caught in a catch-22 situation between the threat of the various terrorist groups of the region and the security forces. While refusing to pay heed to the demands of the terrorists can be serious, complying with the demands makes them the target of the security forces. With the beginning of peace talks with Government of People's Republic of Nagaland (GPRN), a terrorist outfit in the region, insurgent activities of National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isac-Muivah (NSCN-IM) came down. However, terrorists of Dima Halam Daogah (DHD) are still active. During last week, several killings and extortion have been reported. People allege that insurgent activities and the high-handed attitude of the security forces made life difficult.

The Harkat-ul-Mujahideen has rejected the Indian cease-fire offer announced on November 19. In a statement released from Muzaffarabad, Pakistan Controlled Kashmir, a spokesman of the outfit said, "The offer by the Indian Prime Minister is an eyewash and we reject it outright". The Harkat spokesman said had India been sincere to resolve the issue of Kashmir peacefully, it would have positively responded to the cease-fire offer made by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in July 2000. He also said that the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen would accelerate its activities against the Indian security forces during the month of Ramzan under its "Ramzan Operation". He pointed that the Harkat would target Indian troops, even if they did not attack them.

An umbrella organisation of 14 terrorist outfits, the United Jehad Council (UJC), while rejecting the Indian cease-fire offer, has questioned the utility of the cease-fire only for the month of Ramadan. The UJC chairman Syed Salahuddin, who is also the chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, said in a statement that it was "an excuse to kill time." He also warned that the Kashmir issue could push Pakistan and India to a nuclear war. As reported earlier, the Hizb had declared a three-month unilateral cease-fire on July 24, 2000 and later withdrew it prematurely on August 8, 2000 after insisting that Pakistan be involved in the talks on Kashmir issue. The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen has indicated that the outfit would react 'positively' to the short-term cease-fire announcement by New Delhi, provided India recognises Kashmir as a 'dispute' and agrees to tripartite negotiations for its solution. This was stated by a Hizb spokesperson on November 20. The Hizb chief Syed Salahuddin was quoted by the spokesman as saying, "the short term cease-fire call has come from India this time, but, if it is an announcement for the sake of scoring political points and does not carry sincere meanings, we would not give it any consideration". In its response to the Indian cease-fire offer, the Al Badr said that the announcement was one more attempt to 'misguide' world opinion. While rejecting the Indian offer, it also announced that the outfit would continue its operation against the Indian security forces. It also announced that it was launching an operation named Gazwa-e-Badar during the month of Ramadan. The Lashkar-e-Toiba while rejecting the cease-fire offer said that it would continue its terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir. A spokesman of the outfit said that the Indian security forces should be withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir if India "is sincere" in solving the Kashmir issue. Meanwhile, the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has welcomed the cease-fire offer. The APHC Chairman Abdul Ghani Lone, currently in Pakistan, said that the 'Mujahideen' outfits should accept the offer because there are dangers in rejecting it. Speaking to news agencies on November 20, he pointed out that, "If they reject it, then India can use it to their advantage and tell the international community that the groups are not ready." Speaking in Srinagar, India, on November 20, former chairman of the All Party Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Maulvi Omar Farooq described the ceasefire as a "positive step" but said it

However, another Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Shah Gilani said that a temporary cease-fire was not a solution to the Kashmir issue.

Pakistan has said that the Indian cease-fire offer announced on November 19 was a short-term tactic. This was stated by a Foreign Office spokesperson on November 20. The spokesman also pointed that India was attempting to impose a military solution to the Kashmir issue. The Foreign Office has alleged that India had tried to exploit an offer of cease-fire by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, announced in July 2000, to divide the terrorists. The spokesperson also said that India was trying to exclude Pakistan from any negotiations for a solution of the Kashmir issue. Asked to comment on the Indian response, the spokesman said "it was predictable as New Delhi has so far consistently rejected all efforts for a negotiated, just and durable solution of the Kashmir dispute". Commenting on whether Pakistan would show any flexibility in its stand on the issue, the spokesman said the parameters for a just solution of the Kashmir dispute were clear and categorical.

The Chief Minister of Assam, on November 20, demanded more number of security forces from the Central government to tackle the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. In a meeting with the Union Home Minister, he claimed that the strength of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) have declined as over 80 per cent of their cadres have surrendered. According to him, the recent spate of killings was an attempt to put pressure on the government. Police have stepped up precautionary measures after two massacres involving the non-Assamese business community by unidentified terrorists. Police is apprehending sabotage in certain places in Assam as November 27 is approaching. On November 27, 1990, President’s Rule was imposed in the State in view of the escalating insurgent activities. The security forces claimed to have foiled a plan of extortion by tribal terrorist outfits such as Karbi People’s Front (KPF) and Karbi National Volunteers (KNV) of Karbi Anglong area. These outfits, who are believed to be working in connivance with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), were trying to extort money from officials and contractors of a local refinery. It is alleged that the NSCN-IM, which had entered into a cease-fire agreement with the Government of India, has been using these outfits to extort money on its behalf.

An umbrella organisation of 14 terrorist outfits, the United Jehad Council (UJC), while rejecting the Indian cease-fire offer, has questioned the utility of the cease-fire only for the month of Ramadan. The UJC chairman Syed Salahuddin, who is also the chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, said in a statement that it was "an excuse to kill time." He also warned that the Kashmir issue could push Pakistan and India to a nuclear war. As reported earlier, the Hizb had declared a three-month unilateral cease-fire on July 24, 2000 and later withdrew it prematurely on August 8, 2000 after insisting that Pakistan be involved in the talks on Kashmir issue. The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen has indicated that the outfit would react 'positively' to the short-term cease-fire announcement by New Delhi, provided India recognises Kashmir as a 'dispute' and agrees to tripartite negotiations for its solution. This was stated by a Hizb spokesperson on November 20. The Hizb chief Syed Salahuddin was quoted by the spokesman as saying, "the short term cease-fire call has come from India this time, but, if it is an announcement for the sake of scoring political points and does not carry sincere meanings, we would not give it any consideration". In its response to the Indian cease-fire offer, the Al Badr said that the announcement was one more attempt to 'misguide' world opinion. While rejecting the Indian offer, it also announced that the outfit would continue its operation against the Indian security forces. It also announced that it was launching an operation named Gazwa-e-Badar during the month of Ramadan. The Lashkar-e-Toiba while rejecting the cease-fire offer said that it would continue its terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir. A spokesman of the outfit said that the Indian security forces should be withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir if India "is sincere" in solving the Kashmir issue. Meanwhile, the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has welcomed the cease-fire offer. The APHC Chairman Abdul Ghani Lone, currently in Pakistan, said that the 'Mujahideen' outfits should accept the offer because there are dangers in rejecting it. Speaking to news agencies on November 20, he pointed out that, "If they reject it, then India can use it to their advantage and tell the international community that the groups are not ready." Speaking in Srinagar, India, on November 20, former chairman of the All Party Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Maulvi Omar Farooq described the ceasefire as a "positive step" but said it was not a major step towards ending the crisis in Kashmir. A Hurriyat spokesman said that the group is to meet on November 21 and formulate its response to the cease-fire offer. However, another Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Shah Gilani said that a temporary cease-fire was not a solution to the Kashmir issue.

Pakistan has said that the Indian cease-fire offer announced on November 19 was a short-term tactic. This was stated by a Foreign Office spokesperson on November 20. The spokesman also pointed that India was attempting to impose a military solution to the Kashmir issue. The Foreign Office has alleged that India had tried to exploit an offer of cease-fire by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, announced in July 2000, to divide the terrorists. The spokesperson also said that India was trying to exclude Pakistan from any negotiations for a solution of the Kashmir issue. Asked to comment on the Indian response, the spokesman said "it was predictable as New Delhi has so far consistently rejected all efforts for a negotiated, just and durable solution of the Kashmir dispute". Commenting on whether Pakistan would show any flexibility in its stand on the issue, the spokesman said the parameters for a just solution of the Kashmir dispute were clear and categorical.

Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar called upon India, on November 21, to withdraw its security forces from Jammu and Kashmir, as a few weeks of cease-fire would not solve the long-standing Kashmir issue. Sattar added, the Kashmir issue could not be solved through a cease-fire. Meanwhile, the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) said that the Indian cease-fire offer on the eve of Ramzan was only a deception. The chief of the JI, Qazi Hussain, on November 21 asked Pakistan-based terrorist outfits "to see through this deception of the Indian rulers". He added that efforts for a peaceful settlement to the Kashmir issue would not bear any results unless India made serious efforts to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions after recognizing Kashmir as a 'disputed issue'. The Premier of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Sultan Mohammed Chaudhry, separately called upon India to hold tripartite talks for a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue. He said this on November 21 in Muzaffarabad. Another terrorist group, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has asked the various terrorist outfits not to 'depend' on the United Nations (UN) for a solution to the Kashmir issue. The chief of the LeT, Mohammed Syed indicated this in Hafizabad on November 20. He also added that the UN has failed in its attempts to find a solution to the Kashmir issue. In a cautious response, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) indicated that not much must be expected from the Indian cease-fire offer. The Pakistani daily Dawn quoting Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Gilani after a special meeting of the group said that durable peace and not a cease-fire is the solution to the Kashmir issue.

The All Party Hurriyat Conference, on November 21, guardedly welcomed the Prime Minister's unilateral cease-fire announcement and expressed willingness "to participate in any meaningful, result-oriented political process that would lead to the lasting solution of the Kashmir issue". Differing from the negative reactions of various Pakistan-based terrorist outfits towards this offer, the Hurriyat termed it as "an indicator of a positive change" in the Vajpayee Government’s policy towards Kashmir. This reaction was formulated after the Hurriyat’s Executive Committee, the highest decision-making body, met in Srinagar, on November 21, to discuss the cease-fire announcement. In another reaction, a socio-religious organisation in Jammu and Kashmir State, the Jamaat-e-Islami, said the cease-fire should not be for a particular period but "for ever as Kashmiri society not only aspires for peace and security but wants peaceful settlement of the Kashmir issue." The Jamaat, which met under chairmanship of its Amir, G M Bhat, to discuss the cease-fire announcement asked the Union government to adopt a "realistic approach" and "show its desire for tripartite talks without wasting further time" to resolve the Kashmir issue through dialogue. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister, L K Advani clarified in New Delhi, on November 21, that Government of India would hold talks with those people of Jammu and Kashmir "who eschew the path of violence.'' Making a statement in the Lok Sabha, India's Lower House of Parliament, the Home Minister revealed that the Union government in conjunction with the J&K Government was continuing its multi-pronged strategy to counter terrorism in the State.

Recent reports suggest that the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) is facing a serious threat of a split on ethnic grounds. Most of its cadres hailing from the Jamatia communities and led by Nayanbasi Jamatia, a top NLFT leader, are reported to have decided to abjure terrorism. Dissension was reportedly brewing in the outfit for quite some time, particularly in the wake of Jamatia Hoda, the socio-religious body of the Jamatias’ call to the community to resist terrorism. The body is particularly worried at the forcible conversion of tribals by NLFT terrorists to Christianity and over parochialism of the Tripura-dominated outfit.

In an interview to an Indian newspaper, Times of India, Pakistan Foreign Minister Abdus Sattar admitted that his country has a duty to stop militants from crossing the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir. In the interview, published on November 24, the Foreign Minister added that his government was prepared to stand by the July 4, 1999-Washington Statement signed by the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and US President Bill Clinton. This is the first time that the Musharraf regime in Pakistan has accepted the validity of the Washington Statement. Abdus Sattar said, "Pakistan, having agreed to the (Washington) statement has an obligation to comply with it''. Asked specifically whether "respecting the sanctity of the LoC'' (a clause in the Statement) meant that Pakistan was obliged to prevent armed individuals from making unauthorised crossings, he replied: "Yes, I think that's a fair assumption.'' The Foreign Minister rejected the suggestion that Pakistan has not done enough to stop crossings. He said that the two countries "have an obligation but India, which has some 700,000 troops in Kashmir, is surely in a better position to prevent LoC crossings than the 50,000 troops Pakistan has on its side of the line. We do what we can within the limits of our means and India should see that its capacity... to ensure observance of the LoC (is much greater).'' When told by the interviewer, that the leader of a prominent terrorist group based in Pakistan had admitted, off the record, that he had planned the August 8, 2000-car bombing in Srinagar in which several civilians, including a photo journalist, were killed, the Foreign Minister claimed this was the first he has heard of this. "If (this man) were to admit this publicly and proof... (is) given to us by the (Indian) authorities... then, on the basis of that, subject to understanding between the two countries, trials can take place," he added.

The Rajya Sabha, India's Upper House of Parliament, was informed on November 24 that 6699 persons, including civilians and security force personnel were killed by terrorists and extremists in the three main theatres of internal conflict, namely Jammu and Kashmir, the North-East and Bihar between 1998 and October 2000. Giving the break-up while replying to a Member's query, Union Minister of State for Home Vidyasagar Rao said, 3188 and 2641 persons were killed by terrorists in J&K and North-East respectively, while Bihar's left-wing and other extremists killed 870 persons during this period. The Minister, during his replies to various Members' queries, also accused Pakistan of carrying out a low-intensity proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir to bleed India. I D Swamy, also a Minster of State for Home, added that there was increasing evidence of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence’s (ISI) involvement in the insurgencies in India's north-eastern region. He also said that the government was aware of reports that north-east insurgent groups were attempting to procure arms from China. He said that India's concern on this has been conveyed to "authorities in neighbouring countries, including China", and added that security forces "have been alerted to intercept any illegal consignment of weapons brought clandestinely into Indian territory". Swamy also informed the House that the key elements of the Government’s strategy to combat terrorists groups active in the North-Eastern region included: focussed efforts to counter terrorist propaganda, modernisation of the State police, removal of any sense of neglect, discrimination or alienation felt by the people through a carefully drawn up programme of socio-economic development schemes and drawing up of a coordinated action plan to tackle terrorism through synergisation of efforts of State police, Army and paramilitary organisations. The Union Home Minister LK Advani, also speaking in the House, said that measures had been taken to enhance cooperation with Nepal, particularly with regard to implementing effective border management since the Indo-Nepal border is being used by the ISI for to infiltrate terrorists through this porous border.

According to a Kashmiri leader who spoke to Pakistani daily Dawn on conditions of anonymity, Kashmiri leaders from both sides of the Line of Control held their first formal meeting in Islamabad on November 25 and discussed the Kashmir dispute, mainly focusing on the Indian Prime Minister's cease-fire offer. The source added that the session remained inconclusive and another detailed meeting is scheduled to be held on November 28. The meeting was held at the temporary residence of Abdul Ghani Lone, chief of the Jammu and Kashmir People's Conference. The participants refused to talk to the waiting journalists at the venue of the meeting. Another participant of the meeting is reported to have said that Mr Lone and Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan controlled Kashmir, addressed the meeting and supported the Indian Prime Minister's cease-fire offer. The meeting was reportedly inconclusive because Mr Lone had to meet Pakistan's Chief Executive Pervez Musharraf. Besides Mr Lone and Mr Qayyum, the meeting was attended by Amanullah Khan, Gen. Hayat Khan (retired), Abdur Rashid Turabi, Sardar Khalid Ibrahim, Majeed Malik, Maulana Ghulam Nabi Nowsherhri, Dr Farooq Haider, Farooq Rehmani, Sheikh Tajjamul Islam, Ali Mohammad Sheikh, Syed Yousaf Nasim, Ghulam Mohammad Safi, Mohammad Siddique Gahnau, Altaf Qadri, Ashraf Saraf, Mir Tahir Masood and Faiz Naqshbandi.

On November 26, RK Meghen, chairman of the banned terrorist outfit, the United National Liberation Front (UNLF) asked the Centre to include the agenda of sovereignty in the proposed talks with the outfit. The outfit celebrates the 36th year of its existence on November 27. In its other demands, the UNLF asked the Indian government to ‘demilitarise’ the region. Meghen asked for a third country to monitor the talks. While calling for a unification of the groups operating in the area, he reiterated that the struggle would go on ‘as long as it takes’. The formation of Manipur People’s Liberation Front (MPLF), comprising the UNLF, the RPF (Revolutionary People’s Front) and the People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) was a move in this direction. He criticised the National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah’s (NSCN-IM) current negotiations with the Centre as a ‘ploy to divide the people of the region’.
