New Delhi:
The government proposes to unveil a national amnesty policy for
former militants, be they from Kashmir or the northeast, with
better coordination among security agencies, officials said
Monday.
The move has assumed further import after the arrest of a former
militant last week who claims to have come to India from
Pakistan-Administered Kashmir to surrender but police say he was
plotting an attack in New Delhi.
"The rehabilitation package (for former militants) has been
working well. We need to look at it at a larger level along with
state governments," a senior official said on condition of
anonymity.
"We need to learn from our own experiences. This case (the arrest
of an ex-militant) shows we need better coordination (among police
and security forces). In the next few months we will work on
that," the official said.
"So we will be reviewing and improving upon the rehab policy."
Last week, the Delhi Police brought to the national capital a
suspected Hizbul Mujahideen militant Liyaqat Ali Shah from Sanauli
near Gorakhpur and arrested him for an alleged terror plot on Holi
March Wednesday.
But Shah's family claims he was a former militant who had actually
come to surrender at Sanauli on the border with Nepal and seek
rehabilitation as per the policy being followed by the Jammu and
Kashmir government.
Both the state government and the police force there have
supported the Shah family's claim.
This has led to the home ministry seeking details from the Jammu
and Kashmir Police.
The senior official who spoke of the national rehabilitation
policy said the matter not just involved former militants from
Jammu and Kashmir but also those from the north-eastern states as
also Maoists.
"This has a political impact, a social impact," the official said,
saying the state governments, security agencies, the police force
could all have different perspectives.
