Will China resurrect insurgency in North East India ?
Will China resurrect insurgency in North East India ?
by NE BLOGGER on JANUARY 30, 2012
Recent reports in news papers suggest that, anti-talks factions of insurgent groups are forging ties with each other and China is acting as chief interlocutor among them. With recent reverses by China at international levels by India, we had opined that China might step up Insurgency in North East India card very soon.
It may be mentioned that, around 1600 cadres of nine insurgent groups have laid down arms recently in Assam. ULFA has also suffered great setback recently due to formal divisions among its top ranks and Paresh Barua Led anti-talk factions constituting new central body.
After Bangladesh Government has started acting against insurgent bases in Bangladesh, North East rebel groups have started shifting their bases to either Myanmar or Myanmar-China borders. It is widely rumoured that, China has been putting pressure on all insurgent groups to work together against Indian government. China has been now supplying arms and ammunition to NE rebels. Though violence has gone down in North East India, Security agencies are worried about Chinas engagement with North East Militant groups like Pakistans in Kashmir.
China has always been opposing hosting of Dalai Lama and Tibetan Government in Exile by India government and periodically let its displeasure known to Indian government. With forging alliance of all North East insurgents, China must be trying to form a formidable insurgent group to trouble India put pressure on India.
So, recent reports indicate that China is trying to resurrect insurgency in North East India. Only time will tell how India responds to such threat.

India has given China evidence on several occasions of its involvement in aiding insurgency movements in Indias northeast, government officials have told HT.
There was evidence that insurgents from Indias northeast were meeting Chinese intelligence officials regularly in Yunnan (China) and in Nepal. We tracked top NSCN (National Socialist Council of Nagaland) arms procurer Anthony Shimray who had ordered a massive supply of weapons. The procedures involved in shipment, export orders, regulatory compliances, etc are impossible without Chinas involvement, said GK Pillay, former home secretary.
We have also given China details of Ulfa (United Liberation Front of Asom) chief Paresh Baruas travel to Yunnan, including airline tickets, period of stay, etc, he said.
In the past, India had always distinguished between state and non-state actors when it came to Chinese involvement.
On several occasions, we have given concrete proof of certain elements from the Chinese establishment aiding northeast militants. The Chinese government, at least at the prefecture (provincial) level, was involved in such activity, said a senior government official, who did not want to be named.
The evidence was also submitted to the ministry of external affairs, which took it up during the January 16-17 talks in New Delhi between national security adviser Shivshankar Menon and Dai Bingguo, Chinas special representative, the official said.
The evidence mainly pertained to regular interactions of the insurgent leaders with Chinese intelligence agencies regarding supply and shipment of weapons to rebel outfits like Ulfa, NSCN, United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur.
Intelligence reports say fresh consignments comprising weapons like Heckler and Koch rifles (HK 33), T81 rifles have landed in the hands of the rebels in substantial numbers.
What is more worrying for India is the coming together of forces. We have information that top Chinese intelligence officials have told all these outfits to unite under a single umbrella and devise joint strategies. We are witnessing that unification move now, the official said.
