Ex-IB chief Haldar appointed Northeast interlocutor | Former intelligence Bureau (IB) director P.C. Haldar has been appointed interlocutor for talks with three Northeast militant outfits - Dima Halam Daogah (Jewel), United
People's Democratic Solidarity and the pro-talks faction of National Democratic
Front of Boroland. Home minister P. Chidambaram made the announcement at his monthly
assessment press conference here on Friday. Haldar is a 1970-batch Bihar cadre
IPS officer. The announcement comes close on heels of the appointment last week
of Lt Gen. (retd) Vijay Madan as interlocutor for holding talks with the Gorkha
Janmukti Morcha (GJM). Apparently, the government is sending a message to the
militant outfits of the Northeast that if they lay down arms, Delhi will take
the extra step to initiate a dialogue. |
