NEW DELHI: Learning from the experience of the 2008 Mumbai 26/11 attacks, the National Security Guards (NSG) is set to bring on board "tactical negotiators" who can be used by the agency to interact with terrorists in a hostage situation in the event of a terror attack in future.


The Home Ministry has approved NSG's proposal to allow it to hire such professionals who can be psychological experts and help the security agencies in negotiating with terrorists when civilians are taken hostage, like what happened during the Mumbai 26/11 attacks.

At present, usually a senior police official or a top Intelligence official is roped in for such negotiations who may not be the best person for the job given the lack of expertise. A source in the NSG said the force is studying the concept of professional negotiators in elite commando forces in the US and UK where talented professionals in the field of psychology and professors of universities act as resource persons or a permanent group used by them for negotiations in a hostage situation.

The tactical negotiators desired by the NSG should have good communication and persuasive skills and must be capable of understanding realtime behavioural patterns, language and dialect of the terrorists in the event of a communication channel opening up during a hostage situation.

During the 26/11 attacks, Pakistani terrorists holed up in Nariman House had called up the Israeli embassy in Washington to negotiate for the release of several Israeli hostages inside the building. In fact, one of the terrorists told the Israeli officials to ask India to release the captured terrorist Ajmal Kasab in exchange for the hostages.

The Israeli officials, who had to depend on an interpreter to talk to the terrorists, tried to negotiate the release but failed as the terrorists killed all the hostages. The 26/11 terrorists holed up at Oberoi Hotel had also called up a private TV channel saying they were Indians hailing from Hyderabad and demanded the release of all terrorists in Indian jails.

During the IC 814 hostage situation in Kandahar in 1999, the then Intelligence Bureau chief Ajit Doval along with Nehchal Sandhu, who went on to become the IB chief, were the chief negotiators. The hostage episode on foreign soil in Afghanistan ended after India agreed to free three dreaded terrorists in exchange for 175 passengers on board.

India has offered China a slice of its atomic industry pie as it persuades the communist country to stop opposing its bid to enter the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

New Delhi has indicated its willingness to start discussions with Beijing on the possibility of an inter-governmental agreement, which will provide a framework for India-China cooperation in nuclear energy sector, sources told DH in New Delhi.

China remained firm in its opposition to India’s entry to the suppliers group, when the representatives of the members of the cartel met in Vienna on Thursday.

The US and most of the other NSG members are in favour of admitting India. But since the NSG takes decisions by consensus, India may still find it difficult to get the membership if China continues to oppose its plea.

New Delhi has been trying to persuade Beijing to drop its opposition and is likely to continue its efforts over the next few days, before the NSG holds its annual plenary in Seoul on June 23 and 24.

New Delhi conveyed to Beijing that China too could be a partner in India’s ambitious nuclear power programme, sources said.

India’s “Intended Nationally Determined Contribution” to global effort to mitigate climate change would require it to generate 40% power without using fossil fuel by 2030. The government has a target to raise installed capacity for nuclear power generation from 5,780 MWe to 63 GWe by 2032.

Russia is already building reactors in India. The US and French companies are negotiating commercial agreements with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited for setting up atomic power plants in India. Canada has started supply of uranium to India. Australia will follow suit soon.

New Delhi conveyed to Beijing that it was also open to discuss possibility of India-China cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear power.

An official in New Delhi said that India and China – both committed to promote clean energy – were already in broad agreement on the need to expand their respective nuclear power programmes.

Well, India is finally getting the right idea.

That's offering something real, not "good will" or other political fluff and flowery words which have no tangible value.

Intangible things like "good will" and flowery words have no value on the open market. If you want to do some quid-pro-quo we need more offers like these.

 

[PARIKRAMA]

A good move.. Give them access to our N market, reduce some import duties, ease of getting visa and .movement and also award that a railway corridor to develop like Delhi to Chennai type.

Show them that they can easily become economic partners and use their expertise to build the new India. That way the hostilities will come down much quicker.

Also as a gesture do support their inclusion in MTCR.

Finally a good move to showcase real meaningful understanding of what can be offered..

Every country operates based on national interests. If both sides benefit enough then cooperation can happen.

No thanks for the MTCR though, there is no reason for us to restrict our own missile exports.

See what happened to Bhramos, the range was cut down to 290 km to satisfy this MTCR restriction. The 300 km restriction is too severe, in modern warfare you need more range.
