A high alert has been sounded in all States, including Jammu and Kashmir, bordering Pakistan following inputs that militants from across the border could be planning some action in India, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on Friday.
The situation was being reviewed on a daily basis and the “continuing flow of information'' suggests that militants could have identified some targets in India. “We have taken a decision to increase the level of alertness in the States bordering Pakistan and that obviously includes Punjab,” the Minister said at his monthly stocktaking press conference.
“Apart from the Jehadi groups, there is BKI [Babar Khalsa International] and some other Khalistan groups. We did bust a BKI module a few days ago. So, we have to remain in high alert in Punjab. We are working with the State government and we will continue to remain on high alert,'' he said.
Mr. Chidambaram, however, replied in negative when asked if there was revival of Khalistan movement in Punjab. “There is no revival. These are remnant elements from old groups. Many of them have fled the country; many of them have taken refuge in foreign countries. These are remnant groups. There is no revival of Khalistan movement.''
KANNUR: An RSS Karyalaya and another centre working under its control near the- Macheri AUP School at Aechur were destroyed in a country bomb attack early on Friday morning.
The first floor of the concrete building housing the RSS office was completely destroyed in the attack.
The furniture and other instruments kept in the office were reduced to ashes.
Two persons have been taken into custody in connection with the attack, according to the police.
As many as five country bombs were hurled at the RSS office, said local people.
The BJP-RSS leadership alleged that it was a group of CPM workers who organised the attack.
A 12-member gang who came in four motorbikes were behind the entire operation, they alleged.
Police deployment in the area has been strengthened following the incident.

Nearly six months after the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai on July 13, investigators may have made a breakthrough in the probe.
Technical inputs reveal that key Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist Yasin Bhatkal aka Shahrukh was in Mumbai during the carnage and could have carried out
the three explosions that killed 26 people. A massive nation-wide manhunt is on as there are firm indications that he has not left the country.
Considering that IM co-founders Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal are in Pakistan, investigators had surmised that Yasin Bhatkal could have crossed the border after giving a Delhi Police team the slip last November.
Top government sources said that an IM operative of the Madhubani module disclosed during interrogation that Yasin was missing from Delhi when the serial blasts were engineered in Mumbai. This has also been corroborated by the Mumbai location of Yasin's mobile phone, which was seized when he slipped out of the Delhi Police team's reach in Chennai.
Senior investigators, however, clarified that this input could just be a lead for a proper probe but nothing can be said till there is a corroboration of events on the ground. “Shahrukh (Yasin Bhatkal) is at present below the radar and is hiding in the teeming ghettos in the country,” said a senior official. He had moved to Delhi from Mumbai last year.
Security agencies and police teams are questioning suspects about the places where Yasin's phone was used from.
The first indication of Yasin’s capacities and capabilities was revealed during the interrogation of arrested IM operative Salman aka Chhotu by the Uttar Pradesh Police's anti-terrorism squad last year.
Salman described Yasin as "aag ka shola (ball of fire)'' and the main pointsman of IM co-founders Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal.
Although Salman indicated that Yasin ran into trouble with the police over a fake currency racket in 2009, security agencies have found no substantiation in police records.

Calling it a “satisfactory year”, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram today said that 2011 had seen a “historic low” level of terror and Naxalite-related violence in states affected by the twin problems. Number of militancy-related events in Jammu and Kashmir, in fact, were the lowest in 2011 since militancy erupted in the state 21 years ago.

City police, who have an Army imposter in their custody, identified as Samir Shamsher Rana, 40, suspect he has links with Deendar Anjuman, a homegrown sect that took to terror and dropped anchor in Pakistan.
Deendar Anjuman was banned after it triggered church blasts in Karnataka, Goa and Andhra Pradesh in 2000.
Rana was caught by HAL security personnel on December 29 when he sought to gain entry wearing Army attire and flaunting a suspicious identity card. He was handed over to Old Airport police on December 31, after his claims of being a lieutenant colonel were found to be false.
Sources in security agencies said Rana was suspected to be the brother-in-law of Mohammed Ibrahim, a resident of Marathahalli and native of Kerala. Ibrahim was one of the 11 Deendar men sentenced to death in connection with the church blasts.

The latest report of the Department of Telecommunications, prepared by the working group on Telecom for the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), underlines the urgent need for creating a secure infrastructure for government communication.
“A lot of intra-government communication is classified. The security of this communication has to be ensured by an alternative mechanism because neither is it advisable to wait for such a mandating and capacity building nor is it appropriate to rely on the level of security provided by such a scheme as communication would still remain in the open domain of Internet,” the report says.
Pointing to “capacity constraint” of the current Indian system that allows traffic to flow outside the country, the report says that an investment of Rs.450 crore is needed to “develop and deploy a pan-India secure network and network-based services such as email, VoIP mobile communication through a survivable and available network architecture for secured communication for government use.”
Wireless communication
While Rs.300 crore would be spent on establishing a fixed and wireless communication system for high security of classified government communication, Rs.100 crore would be for operational expenditure for the next five years and Rs.50 crore for research and development.
Interestingly, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) already has an internal system of communication that acts like a private Internet system, connecting various centres working on crucial defence projects, thus securing it from any kind of hacking or interception.
Located in Delhi, the Defence Scientific Information & Documentation Centre (DESIDOC)'s main function is collection, processing and dissemination of relevant technical information for DRDO scientists.
It also provides secure e-mail and Internet connectivity to DRDO labs through the networks of ERNET (of Dept. of Electronics) and NICNET (of the Planning Commission).

But the flight did stopover in Kraaachi, and if the arms were meant for SHW, what were the Kraachi-ites doing watching an arms consignment walk through their territory? Whatever it is, the fact that the convicted managed to get away so easily given that the Indian state can deng people forever for minor crimes suggests that GoI is not as dumb as people believe it to be. The CTG arms haul case could have been a reaction to this, just speculating.
But most definitely I dont buy the Ananda marg was the intended recipient, but the naxal violence did pick up in Purulia, but it took a good 9-10 more years for it to register a big blip and most likely that had to do with the MCC-PWG merger rather than Purulia. If there was any violence due to Anand Marg, it did nt register. Was it an anti-CPM op to impose President rule? We can keep guessing. Whatever, the last has not been yakked about it.
You keeping track of the arms haul case?
A telephone call from a ship off the Kutch coast to the US about an arms consignment has set alarm bells ringing in the security establishment, which have alerted the Navy and Coast Guard about possible arrival of arms and ammunition along the Indian coastline.
All the coastal States, including Gujarat and Maharashtra, have been asked to step up patrolling in the sea and keep an eye on illegal activities, official sources said here.
26/11 spectre
The security agencies believe that terrorists may try to replicate the 26/11 terror attack. The 2008 attack in Mumbai was carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists using the sea route from Pakistan.
The alert came following the interception of a telephone call on December 31 by a Central security agency, in which an unidentified person made a call through Thuraya satellite from a ship, which was at that time at Gulf of Kutch, around 8 km from the Gujarat coast, to a US number.
During the 232-second English conversation, the receiver enquired about the precise maritime location of the ship, consignment of the weapons, nature of the customs patrol etc, the sources said.
Acting on the information, the Centre has asked Coast Guard and Navy to intensify patrolling along coastline and high seas, check movement of ships and monitor fishing trawlers.
The security agencies suspect it to be an international gun-running operation and alerted all agencies concerned to take necessary steps to stop any such consignment.

Janata Party (JP) president Subramanian Swamy on Saturday gave a special court all the evidence he claimed would be sufficient to implicate Home Minister P. Chidambaram in the 2G scam.
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/subr ... 67783.htmlSwamy provided the court with certified copies of evidence - including the Shivraj Patil report on 2G spectrum - that Chidambaram was also guilty of breach of trust in question of national security since he did not disclose that Etisalat and Telenor, to which accused Swan Telecom and Unitech Wireless had diluted their shares, had been blacklisted. Also put forward were minutes of meetings and correspondence between Chidambaram and Raja; a letter from Chidambaram to the PM on telecom policy; the controversial Pranab Mukherjee note and a speech given by the PM to the Rajya Sabha.

Three days after the Supreme Court ordered CBI to probe into the national security angle aspect of the 2G spectrum scam, the Delhi high court will decide on Monday if one of the accused, Shahid Balwa, promoter of DB Realty (Swan Telecom) had links with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Swan Telecom, now known as Etisalat DB Telecom, was allegedly favoured by prime accused, former telecom minister A Raja, in spectrum allocation.
Balwa was arrested in Mumbai on February 7.
He had moved the Delhi HC two months before it on December 3, 2010 against an official note from the ministry of home affairs (MHA) recommending Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) to deny permission to Etisalat to invest money in a Chennai-based firm, citing as one of the four reasons that he shouldn’t be associated with the company either as a director or in other capacity as he has links with the underworld.
According to sources, MHA had objected to the proposal of the UAE-based Etisalat to increase its stake in its Indian arm, Etisalat DB, citing the Dubai company’s presence in Pakistan and Afghanistan. CBI and IB allege Dawood invested large sums of money in Balwa's firm, which was used by him to finance many of his business deals.
“Balwa made several trips to Dubai, Dawood's hideout, in his private airplane. Investigative agencies are seeking details of these trips from the DGCA”, said the source.
