It is still not clear why the insurgents actually declared the unilateral ceasefire. The PCJSS (Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity), the political wing of the Shanti Bahini, maintains that it was effected to test the government's commitment to a negotiated settlement of the problem. Military leaders, on the other hand, say it was a tactical move so that they could reorganise themselves and launch a fresh movement. Indeed, in the last few years the security forces have been able to push insurgency into fragile remission. Besides, the insurgents have also been weakened by infighting, failure to achieve any specific goal and, more importantly, the ambivalence of India in providing sanctuaries and other material help, crucial for carrying on the struggle.
