(The Times of India, October 08, 2004, Friday) http://www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/articleshow?msid=877252 2) Gujarat Downplayed Riots: Ex-DGP Ahmedabad, Oct. 8: Former director-general of police (intelligence) R.B. Sreekumar, who filed a second affidavit before the Nanavati-Shah panel on Wednesday, has highlighted the role played by the state government in downplaying the role of the intelligence department during the 2002 sectarian riots. Mr Sreekumar??™s first affidavit before Justice G.T. Nanavati (Retd) and Justice K.G. Shah (Retd) inquiry commission probing the Godhra train carnage and its aftermath, had stirred up the administration and the second affidavit is no less potent than the earlier one.

A joint statement of Kamotapur Liberation Organisation, Manipur Peoples' Liberation Front and Tripura People??™s Democratic Front stressing on strengthening the traditional bond of brotherhood among the people of the region also cautioned all to be wary of the Indian policy of Vietnamisation to pitch one ethnic group against the another. Going back to history, the statement elaborated on the events that led to the annexation of Kamotapur, Manipur and Tripura through deceit and urged the people of Sikkim to stand for their rights. Terming the inclusion of Sikkim to India in 1975 as India's ploy to nullify all attempts by the people of the region to demand restoration of India??™s pre-independence status, the statement said the three revolutionary organisations have joined hands to defeat the divide and rule policy of India. They also urged the people to extend their co-operation. http://www.thesangaiexpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Manipur Today, October 10, 2004, Sunday 2) Six suspected PLA and one Indian Army killed Imphal, October 9 : Six insurgents suspected to be members of outlawed Peoples Liberation Army and one Indian army personnel were killed during CI operation at Khonkhai area in Churachandpur district yesterday, claimed PIB Defence Wing in a press release issued late last night.
