Webinfosys's Local News : No let up in ISI operations: Report

NEW DELHI: An internal document of the government, meant for restricted circulation, has painted a worrying security scenario with no letup in threats to India expected till at least 2025.

It warns not only against ISI's plans to keep terrorism in Kashmir alive and stoke fundamentalism but also against the increasing belligerence of left-wing extremists.

Despite recent efforts at peace, there is no change in ISI's objectives, which include the "liberation" of Kashmir; revival of militancy in Punjab; use of the Bihar-Nepal border for smuggling arms, explosives and fake currency; cooperation with ULFA; control of insurgent networks from Bangladesh and using certain madrassas in border states like West Bengal.

The overview of internal security challenges in "perspective plan of training in CRPF" provides a hard-headed analysis of the emerging challenges to the security establishment.

Though many of the threats are not new, the document makes the point that these are increasingly interlinked and need an equally determined, well-thought-out response.

It argues that big changes in demographics in terms of an illegal influx from Bangladesh cannot be ignored. This population often shelters anti-India elements and provides a steady recruitment to jihadi modules.

This immigrant population, it says, can influence up to 20 assembly seats in Delhi, while six districts in Assam are also similarly affected.

Setting up of terror cells in south India, and liaising with the underworld in Maharashtra and Gujarat are other aspects dealt with in some detail.

The document speaks of the continuing influence of two major covert operations - Operation Topac and Operation Pin Code - launched by ISI to destabilize India which the Pakistani establishment still holds valid.

Though these operations are known to intelligence experts, official training manuals have seldom mentioned them in terms of the evolving internal security threats. It is clear that the Indian security establishment has not seen any change in the directives issued to ISI.

The George C Francis Committee report, which the document draws upon, is part of the materials for specialized training to paramilitary forces deployed for counter-insurgency operations in Jammu & Kashmir, the northeast and other parts of the country.

Webinfosys's Local News : Raje govt to hold talks with Gujjars today

BAYANA/JAIPUR: Rajasthan government and agitating Gujjar leaders are likely to hold talks on Monday to resolve the ongoing crisis.

On Sunday, breaking the stalemate over where to meet, both sides had agreed to hold preliminary talks in Bayana, raising prospects of an early end to the 16-day-old stir.

Two representatives of the Rajasthan government will attend the parleys with Gujjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti led by a retired colonel Kirori Singh Bainsla(70) at the community stronghold in Bharatpur district.

"We have agreed to hold talks in Bayana which will be held tomorrow," S N Thanvi, Rajasthan government's chief negotiator had told reporters on Sunday.

The fresh Gujjar agitation for getting Scheduled Tribe status for their community since May 23 has left 43 people killed in police firing and clashes.

After the Gujjar leadership agreed to hold the first talks on Friday, the two sides squabbled over the venue. The community leaders wanted the talks to be held in Bayana but the state government insisted on Jaipur as the venue.

In a bid to break the deadlock to bring Bainsla to the negotiating table, the state authorities on Sunday worked out a middle path offering to hold preliminary parleys with the Gujjar leadership in Bayana provided the main talks took place in Jaipur.

Bainsla, who is camping in violence-hit Karwadi-Pilupura area, about five kms from Bayana, had said that if the preliminary talks were "fruitful" and held in a "conducive" atmosphere, he would proceed to Jaipur for further parleys.

The state government also appeared to have set a pre-condition for the talks insisting that the size of the Gujjar delegation for the Bayana talks be restricted to a dozen. The Gujjar leadership has forwarded names of 45 representatives to the authorities.
