ISI in Assam
   
  The disclosure of the Minister of State for Home Affairs, S Raghupathy in the 
Lok Sabha recently that the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) modules are 
active in certain districts of Assam is a matter of serious security concern. 
The ISI, notorious intelligence and subversive agency of Pakistan responsible 
for all covert operations outside Pakistan, providing training and supplying 
arms and explosives to Jehadi groups and infiltrating them to Kashmir and the 
North East for subversive activities, extending tactical support to the 
insurgent groups like ULFA, is a unique government organisation sponsoring 
terrorism to disrupt peace and tranquillity in India–ISI’s main target. The ISI 
has been providing training to ULFA cadres even in Afghanistan in 1990, 
supplying them arms, ammunition and explosives to carry out subversive 
activities in Assam–particularly to target the oil refineries, pipe lines and 
other vital installations. At ISI’s dictates ULFA set ablaze IOC’s oil
 storage reservoirs in Nagaon by launching rocket attack. Intelligence reports 
allege that during the Kargil war, ULFA cadres supplied information regarding 
army movements to ISI and also made statements favouring Pakistan. The 
activities of the ISI also include propping up Muslims fundamentalist 
organisations like the Muslim Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) and the Muslim 
United Liberation Front of Assam (MULFA) which work in close coordination with 
ULFA. The rise of fundamentalist Muslim organisations of Bangladesh and their 
vision of creating a greater Bangladesh with the help of the Muslim 
fundamentalist organisations operating from Assam and the successive 
governments in Bangladesh, giving sanctuary to the insurgent groups of the 
North East have serious portents. The continuing influx of Muslim immigrants 
from Bangladesh has already changed the demographic pattern of some districts. 
Four districts–Dhubri, Barpeta, Hailkandi, Goalpara have become Muslim majority
 districts already. Karimganj and Nagaon are on way to become Muslim majority 
districts. The ISI will find fertile grounds in these districts to carry on 
their espionage and subversive activities unless ISI modules are detected and 
uprooted. Both the State and the Central governments should take counter 
measures to eliminate the threat from ISI. Assam Tribune Editorial, 30.03.07
