Government not to Enter into Dialogue With Splinter Militant Groups in North East
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Government of India has always shown its willingness to enter into dialogue with any group which is willing to abjure the path of violence and place its demand within the framework of the Constitution of India.

In response to Government’s policy, in the North Eastern part of the country, United Peoples Democratic Solidarity (UPDS), Dima Halam Daogah (Nunisa Group) DHD(N), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Pro-talk faction), NDFB (PT), had entered into Suspension of Operation arrangements. Recently, Dima Halam Daogah (Joel Group), DHD(J) and Karbi Longri NC Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) have come forward for dialogue to seek resolution to their grievances within the framework of the Constitution of India and have laid down their arms to create a conducive environment for talks.

It has been observed that some of the renegade cadres of these outfits who did not give up their arms have not joined the ongoing peace process and some of them have reportedly formed splinter groups. Security forces shall take concerted action against such splinter groups.

It has been decided that Government will not enter into dialogue with splinter groups or any other new outfits/breakaway factions or accept their laying down of arms in a public function. However, such cadres can surrender as per the provisions of the Surrender-cum-Rehabilitation Policy.
