The recent upsurge in violent insurgent activities in the Northeast has made it urgent for India to take action to clear Indian insurgent groups camps across the borders of Bangladesh and Burma. Bangladesh had been denying their existence and refuted such information in every forum. Myanmar?s attitude has been more positive. It is in this context the visit of Myanmar?s head of state Gen. Than Shwe?s visit to Delhi on October 25, 2004 assumes significance. Than Shwe also heads the ruling military junta?s State Peace and Development Council (SPDC). No doubt discussions on joint or coordinated military operation between the two countries to eliminate Indian insurgents? hideouts in Northern Myanmar will figure high on the agenda of Myanmar?s head of state. According to media reports this issue had already figured in the discussions of Home Secretary Dhirendra Singh and the visiting Myanmar Deputy Home Minister Brigadier General Bhon Swe on October 5, 2004.
