Hohos foil govt’s plan on women quota

Correspondent/Staff Reporter

Kohima/DIMAPUR, Nov 16 (NPN): The attempt by the T.R. Zeliang led-DAN government to get the nod from tribal hohos to assent to certain modifications to the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 failed, as the hohos suspected that the exercise was mainly to get their nod to revoke the 2012 assembly resolution in the house to clear the decks for civic polls with 33% women reservation.

The consultative meeting held at the Capital Convention Hall began with state chief secretary Pankaj Kumar making his opening remarks to inform that the meeting was called to discuss the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 vis-à-vis tax and landholding issues and not about 33% women reservation.

However, most of the tribal representatives objected to it and nearly staged a walk-out as they wanted it to also include 33% women reservation issue. Chief minister T.R. Zeliang intervened after which it was agreed to discuss the contentious quota issue. The chief minister focussed on suggestions on is-

T.R. Zeliang with the tribal hoho leaders, legislators and officials after the meeting.(DIPR)

sues of tax and land holdings raised by Ao Senden and also APO to omit or delete the provision for reservation of seat for Schedule Caste.

However these were overshadowed by the handling of 33% women reservation by the state government.

According to DIPR, on the 33% women reservation, the chief minister said a series of meetings were held with the Naga Mothers’ Association and other women organizations but they have decided to wait for the verdict of the court.

It reported that the chief minister reiterated that in view of the 33% reservation for women, unless the peti-

tioner (the women organization) agreed, there was no question of a compromise and therefore, the cabinet decided to agree with the reservation of women.

It may be noted that the September 22,2012 assembly resolution tabled by T.R. Zeliang as then minister of parliamentary affairs and introduced by Dr Shürhozelie, then urban development minister, was adopted by the house to make inoperative Clause IX A from the amendment made in 2006 on 33% women reservation.

Nagaland Post spoke with prominent members of several tribal hohos over phone and all of them said

they stood firm with regard to both the tax and landholding issues including 33% women reservation.

They said the issues needed wider, proper and lengthier deliberations and cannot be rushed otherwise it would result in eroding the principles of tribal customary laws and practices that were welded to Article 371A. Naga Hoho president P. Chuba Ozukum said the Hoho stand was that there should be no reservation but nomination with voting rights. He said such a formula could be worked out for the nod from the assembly only after a wide consultation with all stakeholders in

order to avoid controversies.

Ozukum reiterated that NH supported equality of rights among men and women but if the issue infringed Article 371 (A) then the Hoho will have to defend it.

The apex bodies at the meeting suggested nomination for women in the civic bodies, while some suggested nomination with voting rights. However, the apex bodies at the same time made their stand clear that they would vehemently oppose any move that would infringe upon Article 371(A), which may arise out of such matter.

APO president Dr. Vilhousa Seleyi said the issues could not be discussed properly during the consultative meeting as many issues raised could not be properly addressed. On the 33% women quota Dr. Seleyi said he shared the same opinion with all tribal hohos that there was no difference in status between men and women and therefore, there was no need for any reservation.

According to another tribal hoho member, T.R. Zeliang’s stand were less defensive and instead revealed inherent contradictions between his argument on the

33% women reservation and Lotha Hoho PIL. The chief minister defended the government stand to support 33% women reservation since the SLP filed by NMA in the Supreme Court would take a long time and for which the state exchequer would incur heavy expenditure. He also speculated that the apex court’s ruling would be more or less in favour of the Joint Action Committee on Women Reservation (JACWR). Zeliang said this was also the opinion of some “senior lawyers in Delhi”.

However, on the issue of fighting the PIL filed by Lotha Hoho on the oil issue, the chief minister said the government has engaged senior Supreme Court lawyers for the case.

One of the tribal leaders wanted to know from the chief minister, the difference in fighting the Lotha Hoho PIL by hiring expensive lawyers and then justifying backing out from the case on the 33% women reservation citing heavy legal expenditure. Any court matter would take a long time and definitely money would be spent in the process, the tribal leader said.

Self-regulation important for media, says PM Modi

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday said there should be no government interference in the functioning of media but advised self-regulation by making appropriate changes with times, asserting that things will not change from external control.

Speaking at an event commemorating the National Press Day and the Golden Jubilee of the Press Council of India, Modi also quoted Mahatma Gandhi to support his assertions seeking self-regulation by the media.

“Mahatma Gandhi had said uncontrolled writing can create huge problems but he had also said that external interference would wreak havoc. Controlling it (media) externally cannot be imagined,” he asserted.

“Government should not do any interference. It is true that self-introspection is not easy...It is the responsibility of the PCI and those associated with the press to see to it that what appropriate changes you can make with time. Things do not change from external control,” he said. Though (Cont’d on p-5) the Prime Minister did not

Narendra Modi

refer to any specific changes, he said unlike journalists in past when they had ample time to make corrections, now because of the fastpaced nature of electronic and digital media there is no such opportunity now.

Modi suggested that issues relating to self-regulation should be seen through the medium of organisations like the Press Council and drawing from the experience of senior people and in the interests of the society.

Modi said there should be communication to improve the institutions for which the people should benefit. He also said media should encourage healthy competition like ranking states on their performance in the area of ‘swacchta’ or cleanliness.

No intention to demonetise Rs. 50, 100 notes: Govt

Dr. Shürho’s stand on backdoor Opposition corners Modi govt over note ban in RS appointments terrible: ACAUT

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (PTI): Seeking to dispel rumours making the rounds, the government today said there is no intention to demonetise Rs 100 and Rs 50 notes. In a series of tweets, the government described as “myth” a rumour that the Prime Minister will again address the nation to declare Rs 50/100 as invalid currency. “Baseless; no intention of cancelling legal tender status of notes of any other denomination,” PIB said in a tweet.

It also described as “myth” the contention that cost of demonetisation is more than the benefits.

There is no intention to seal bank lockers and freeze gold and diamond jewellery.

On complaints that Rs 2,000 notes are of poor quality and colour comes off, the government said there is no need to worry as this is a security feature.

“Currency notes have a security feature called intaglio printing. The first test for a genuine currency note is to rub it with a cloth; this creates a turbo-electric effect, transferring the ink colour onto the cloth,” it said. Dismissing the rumour that Rs 2,000 note is fitted with a chip, PIB tweeted that it is just a figment of imagination.

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 6 ( N P N ) : ACAUT Nagaland in a counter rejoinder said that NPF president and DAN chairman Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu’s justification and refusal to admit on the backdoor appointment was terrible, when there has been a staggering 40,000 backdoor appointments made in the past 5-6 years.

ACAUT media cell said when one of the ministers have disclosed that there has been an excess of 70,000 employees in the state, Dr. Shürhozelie has refused to use the term “backdoor appointment” instead used deceptive term “contract employees” to gain political mileage.

ACAUT contented that the NPF president has the knowledge on the figures of backdoor appointments that included the sons, daughters, and relatives of his party men, ministers, MLAs and his bureaucrats. Therefore, ACAUT asked Dr. Shürhozelie that he being “the torch-bearer of Regionalism”, should voiced out and put an end to such nepotism and favouritism, “of which he was only too vocal against not long time ago”.

This is it!

“What’s so funny, when I said even my credit card declined payments?”

But unfortunately, his attempt “to sell the so-called Eligibility Test, now presently employed by the departments to test the suitability of candidates for regularization purpose is sickening”, media cell said.

Further, ACAUT alleged that the latest decision of the cabinet to regularize all the contract or backdoor employees who have completed three years of service, “thanks to his letter”, will not only dim the lives of tens of thousands of young people but would put to halt on all developmental works in the state.

It therefore, reminded Dr. Shürhozelie on the court ruling, which stated that appointments made purely on personal or political considerations or arbitrarily, meaning “those who come to be appointed by such arbitrary procedure can hardly complain if the termination of their appointment is equally arbitrary”. Since, it has made its’ stand clear it was now up to Dr. Shürhozelie to deal with his own conscience and for which ACAUT will not engage with the NPF patriarch anymore on this subject, media cell said.

N E W D E L H I , N OV 1 6 (IANS): The opposition on Wednesday tried to corner the government in the Rajya Sabha over the demonetisation issue on the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament, accusing it of leaking the information of demonetisation beforehand to a select few and demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the matter.

However, the treasury benches stuck to their guns and asserted that there was no leak and that the move was a “war on corruption”.

Speaking on the issue, Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Anand Sharma termed the move as a “Nadirshahi farman” (autocratic order). Defending the government, Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said the hardships faced by the people were “birth pangs” which will ultimately result in happy outcome.

Sharma, as also other opposition leaders including Ram

Gopal Yadav, who was recently expelled from the Samajwadi Party, demanded a probe into the “selective leakage” of the demonetisation move. “ N o o r d i n a n c e wa s brought for demonetisation.

This is a Nadirshahi farman...

Which law gave this government the right to bar me from withdrawing my money from the bank,” Anand Sharma said.

Congress leader Pramod Tiwari called the government “Kaliyug ka Bhasmasur” (referring to the mythological demon that could reduce to ashes everything it touched) that would ultimately destroy itself.

“No civilised country has done this (demonetisation) in recent times. Only four people have done this. The first three are Muamar Gaddafi of Libya, Mussolini of Italy and Hitler of Germany. The fourth is our Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Tiwari said as treasury benches erupted in protest.

Governor interacts with govt officials in Tuensang D I M A P U R , N OV 1 6 (NPN): Nagaland governor P.B. Acharya on his second day at Tuensang on Wednesday, toured different places and held interaction with various government officials where he was briefed on the problems faced by people.

He was accompanied by parliamentary secretaries Kejong Chang, Toyang Chang, officials of district administration and police, stated DIPR report.

In the morning, governor visited Durga temple of Tuensang, where he urged both Hindus and Muslims communities to maintain unity and understanding for peaceful co-existence.

He distributed blankets to inmates on his visit to district jail.

scheme. Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya was also briefed on the shortage of man power during his visit to District Hospital Tuensang.

Later, at the public meeting at Tuensang village, the governor encour-

aged the people to do away with old mindsets so that the village could be developed by utilizing the abundant natural resources. The governor and his entourage also visited the “Longpang House of Hope” where the secretary of the Eleutheros

Christian Society hosted a special programme.

The programme also witnessed the launching of the communitisation of the mid day meal with the signing of MoU between the Government of Nagaland and ECS.

ment’s argument that the November 8 demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes will end the menace of fake currency in India, Ram Gopal Yadav said: “Do you think our enemy countries will wait for two months before they forge new currency notes? They may have already started it.”

Yadav also raised the issue of “selective leak” about the new currency, referring to a tweet by Punjab BJP leader Sanjeev Kamboj wherein the latter shared a picture of the new Rs 2,000 note on November 6 -- two days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetisation.

CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi by comparing him to French Queen Marie Antoinette.

“It reminds me of Marie Antoinette who during the French Revolution said if they (people) don’t find bread, why don’t they eat cakes. Now, we have Modi Antoinette who

Oil companies to accept old notes till November 24

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 6 (NPN): All three Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies- Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, HPCL, and BPCL, announced that Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes would be accepted till midnight of November 24 on purchase of fuel and related products at all petrol/CNG stations and LPG distributorship across the country.

In a press note, State Level Coordinator, Nagaland assured on the continuous and sustained availability of all petroleum products from their outlets. Customers have been asked not to unnecessarily stock petroleum products but purchase quantities to fulfil their immediate/ routine needs only.

The coordinator fervently appealed all customers to cooperate in order to ensure smooth transition on the new currency system.

says: ‘If you don’t have paper, use plastic’.” “What is the coverage of your plastic money?

Only 2.6 crore of the 130 crore Indians have credit cards. Will that run our economy? More than 80 per cent of our economy is in cash,” said Yechury.

As the Left leader raised the issue of “writing off ” of Rs 7,000 crore worth of corporate loans by turning them into Non Performing Assets (NPA) by the State Bank of India, Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley intervened saying by turning loans to NPAs does not mean that the loan seizes to exist.

BSP chief Mayawati questioned the government’s preparedness for the demonetisation saying: “The government has said that they spent 10 months preparing for this decision. Ten months was a long time to prepare. If they were serious about it, they would have prepared well for all the problems that people are facing today,” she said.

Essentials arrive Imphal for first time since blockade

Imphal, Nov 16 (IANS): Bringing some relief to the people, over 100 fuel tankers and trucks carrying consumer items arrived here on Wednesday -- the first supply since the November 1 imposition of a United Naga Council (UNC)-sponsored indefinite economic blockade to protest against the Manipur government’s move to create a new district.

India Reserve Battalion personnel and Manipur Police commandos escorted 299 trucks and oil tankers on Monday to deliver fuel and consumer items along the 222-km NH 37. Over 1,500 trucks and oil tankers stranded in Assam, Nagaland and border areas of Manipur had converged at Jiribam town in Imphal East district, near the border with Assam.

Manipur’s Consumer Affairs, Food and Public

Distribution minister K. Biren and high ranking officials rushed to Assam to hold talks with the drivers and transport agents. Initially, the drivers were reluctant to ply as they were apprehensive of their security, but were finally convinced.

“Arrangements were made to provide escort so that trucks and oil tankers could ply,” said Biren.

Government sources, however, said they cannot be sure of the frequency of the trips. In the past, the supplies came once a week.

Since the blockade, most of the consumer items are not available.

On Wednesday, some students seized a hoarded stock of potatoes kept for sale at extortionate prices and sold them to passers-by at Rs 20 a kg. The students said that the drive will continue.

National Press Day observed in Dmu

Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 6 (NPN): Nagaland along with the rest of the country observed the National Press Day with a programme at Elim Hall, DABA, Duncan Bosti here, Wednesday.

The programme was organized collectively

by Dimapur Press Club, Kohima Press Club and Mokokchung Press Club in collaboration with Directorate of Information and Public Relation (DIPR), Government of Nagaland under the theme “Professional Ethics in Journalism”.

Theme speaker of t h e e ve n t , D r A k ü m Longchari, who is also the editor of The Morung Express, said media in Nagaland state was existing in challenging conditions where the government had no opposition; corruption was rampant, widespread, systemic and was supported by culture of impunity and a silent majority.

Adding to all these problems was the inadequacy of the basic public infrastructure – the road systems, water, electricity supply, basic health care and quality education – which are all in urgent

Dr Aküm Longchari. (NP) need of sincere intervention, he said were factors contributing to breaking down of social cohesion.

He cited that with all these pressing challenges, the ethics and values, standards of professional journalism, there was a need for media practitioners to discuss media in Nagaland and to critically engage in a discourse on professionalism and ethics in journalism through the opportunity provided in the form of the National Press Day. Quoting from a working paper titled, ‘The two professionalisms of journalism: Journalism and the changing context of work’, written by Dr Henrik Örnebring, a Media and Communications professor in Karlstad Uni-

versity, Sweden, which said, “journalists seem to be perpetually concerned with the decline of their occupation. Journalism used to be good, but now it is bad.”

Here, Dr Longchari said, Henrik had pointed out that a narrative of decline was at the heart of many journalists’ accounts of journalism which could not be easily discounted.

He spoke extensively in four areas which needed to be examined in order to raise the standard of journalism in Nagaland, which included - The competing notions of professionalism: organizational professionalism or occupational professional, Negotiating journalism: between business and vocation, The social role of journalists in these changing times, and A peace lens for journalism.

Dr Longchari also asked whether the media in Nagaland could fulfil its critical role and function in a reality where public institutions were failing and the infrastructure was broken.

He added that dialogue processes between workers and employers on the different expectations and understandings

in the media houses could improve the working relationship which would in turn strengthen the quality of journalism and the professionalism in the state.

He c onc l ude d his speech by asking what were the ethical and professional framework at a time in Nagaland State where truth is suppressed, mercy has been blinded, justice has been kidnapped and peace remains elusive?

During the programme DIPR director Limawati Ao gave a speech on the efforts that were taken up by the directorate to ensure the wellbeing of the journalists in the state.

Short speeches were given by Tir Yimyim editor Temjen K Jamir and Eastern Mirror executive editor Wapongmeren.

Journalists from various parts of the state including staff from DIPR attended the programme which was chaired by Dimapur Press Club general secretary S. Henlly Phom.

Invocation was pronounced by DABA youth director Jungshimanen, a special presentation was made by Seyie Keretsü while Kohima Press Club president Xavier Rutsa proposed the vote of thanks.

Job creation sevenyear low: President

Rahul granted bail in RSS case BHIWANDI (THANE), NOV 16 (PTI): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi was today granted bail by a local court in a defamation case over his alleged comment against RSS on Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination.

Coming out after the proceedings in the court, a combative Rahul asserted he would carry on with his fight for the ideology of the Father of the Nation and win that battle.

“I have come to the court to fight for Gandhiji’s ideology,” he told a gathering of Congress supporters outside the Bhiwandi magistrate court, after being granted bail in the defamation case filed by a local RSS functionary over an election speech made by the Congress leader in 2014.

“On the one hand is the ideology of freedom and on other is the ideology of slavery. Those I am fighting against want to bend India so that they can rule the country,” he said.

fast replacing men, there is a need to have a look at a paradigm shift. “From ‘brain drain’, we must shift to abundance of ‘brain rain’, as many successful Indian professionals working abroad are keen to come back, excited by the opportunities unfolding in a changing India. “With adequate thrust on internationalisation of our institutions, we can develop ‘brain networks’,” Mukherjee said, addressing the second visitor’s conference at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President said educational institutions must have a harmonious and peaceful environment.

“There have been incidences of student unrest in our institutions in recent past. Our campuses must have a harmonious and peaceful environment for students to pursue higher studies and research. Vicechancellors and directors must deal with any unpleasant situation with sagacity.

“They must take help of all well-wishers including inspired teachers, who by the dint of their wisdom, conviction and conduct, can inspire confidence among students and have a calming influence. The concerned administrative ministries must also facilitate the academic leaders.” he said.

Mukherjee also launched the national student startup policy which aims to create one lakh technology based student start-ups and a million employment opportunities within the next 10 years.

The President said the global rankings of our higher educational institutions belie

our economic prowess. He said to attract bright students with limited means, a support base comprising options like deferred and variable fees and incomecontingent loans will be necessary. Mukherjee said the challenge to attain global standards for our higher education system is two-fold.

“We need our established institutions to graduate into world-class centers of learning. At the same time, we need new institutions to take-off successfully, overcoming the nascent-stage hurdles. Some of the new institutions have been set up in remote areas of the country.

They hold great promise to spur the development of their regions. “They can be the bridge to build local capacity for teaching and learning. Necessary assistance, both financial and administrative, must be at their disposal to see that these institutions start functioning at full capacity,” he said.

The President said the road to becoming world-class institutions is through the trinity of talent, resources and management.

The conference was attended by Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Ashok Gajapathi Raju Pusapati, Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Mahendra Nath Pandey, Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Secretary to the President, Omita Paul and Prof Anil D Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, All India Council for Technical Education besides heads of academic institutions.

Sushma suffers kidney failure, to undergo transplant at AIIMS

Hohos foil govt’s plan on women quota

Sushma Swaraj

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (PTI): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was admitted to the AIIMS due to kidney failure and underwent tests for a transplant, but the doctors said the procedure may take some time as a donor was yet to be found.

Swaraj took to twitter to inform about her health condition. “Friends: This is to update you on my health.

“I am in AIIMS because of kidney failure. Presently, I am on dialysis. I am undergoing tests for a kidney transplant. Lord Krishna will bless,” she tweeted this morning.

Doctors at the hospital said since a suitable donor was yet to be found, the transplant would not be conducted immediately.

“Since a donor from her immediate family is not available right now, the kidney transplant might take some more time. The search for a suitable donor is on. Meanwhile, she is on maintenance dialysis (as and when required),” said sources.

Swaraj has been allowed to go home today but she will be back at AIIMS tomorrow, the sources said.

64-year-old Swaraj, who has been in and out of the hospital for last few months,

was admitted to AIIMS on November 7. A team of doctors comprising Dr Sandip Mahajan, professor (Nephrology), Nikhil Tandon, HOD (Endocrinology), Dr Randeep Guleria, HOD (Pulmonary Medicine) and Balram Airan, Chief of the Cardio Thoracic Centre are treating her.

After Swaraj tweeted about her health, there was a flood of get well soon wishes from politicians as also people from a cross section of society. Some even offered to donate a kidney to her. “Respected @ SushmaSwaraj ma’am. My blood group is B Positive. I will be happy to donate my kidney to you, if needed.

God bless,” tweeted Rahul Verma.

Many saw her announcement as setting new standards of transparency as politicians usually are not forthcoming about divulging details of their health condition. “@SushmaSwaraj sets yet another benchmark. In terms of being honest about health issues. This is truly a new India as it should be,” tweeted marketing expert Suhel Seth.

Politicians cutting across party lines including Congress leader Ambika Soni, National Conference’s Omar Abdullah, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Union Ministers Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Jayant Sinha and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje wished Swaraj speedy recovery.

“Very sorry to hear about your health problems @SushmaSwaraj ji. My father went through the same so I know how you & the family must feel,” Abdullah tweeted.

(From p-1) Another tribal hoho leader further pointed out that both PIL on oil and 33% quota imbroglio raised by various organizations/ government was in connection with Article 371(A). He said when the government was literally against Lotha Hoho’s PIL-- citing reasons that it (PIL) would weaken Article 371(A); what was its stand on 33% women reservation, when majority of the tribal bodies were voicing its concern that women quota would have ramifications on Art. 371(A)?.

One of them pointed out that the government was over keen to give up the 33% women reservation case mainly due to the fund (over Rs.200 crore) that it would get from the centre if it held poll to ULBs. He also cited parlia-

M U M BA I , N OV 1 6 (IANS): Mumbai North BJP MP Gopal Shetty on Wednesday faced opposition flak after his comment on deaths of people in bank queues - “kuchh pane ke liye, kuchh khona padta hai.”

Shetty made the remark when he was asked to speak on the deaths of some persons who joined long queues outside banks or ATMs to exchange the demonetised Rs 500-Rs 1000 currency or make withdrawals.

“Every year, 3,500 commuters die on railway tracks, five lakh people are killed in road accidents, many more die in terror attacks and other incidents, but nobody speaks about them. For gaining something, you have to lose something,” Shetty told a private news channel.

The opposition pounced on the lawmaker terming his statement as “insensitive” and divorced from the ground realities of the huge suffering experienced by the common citizens

mentary secretary, Geology & Mining, Dr. Imtiwapang’s statement cautioning people that the verdict on PIL may go against Article 371(A).

Now, which way would the government like to exercise its wisdom, he wondered. On one side they say they are spending too much money fighting in the court and on the other hand the government is ready to fight tooth and nail (PIL on oil filed by Lotha Hoho) by hiring expensive lawyers.

The tribal leaders said if the so called “Consultative meeting on Municipal Act, 2011” was held as an eye wash just before the upcoming Assembly Session to make it look as if all was well, the government would be wrong, as no one would allow the tribal bodies/ stakeholders to be taken for a ride. A senior tribal hoho leader also disclosed that if

the government attempted to go ahead with an assembly resolution to push through civic polls with 33% women reservation, then the hohos will not remain silent.

One of the vocal members claimed that many were not given adequate time as the entire process was sought to be steam rolled.

“This cannot be called a consultative meet as the very word consultation was not present throughout” he said.

Those who spoke include members of the Naga Hoho, ENPO, Ao Senden, APO, Konyak Union, Chakhesang Public Organization, Lotha Hoho and Rengma Hoho and among the legislators PHE minister Tokheho Yepthomi. However, Zeliangrong Baudi Nagaland, Sumi Hoho and Pochury Hoho representatives were not present.

Nearly 40 deaths attributed to note ban

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (IANS): Nearly 40 deaths -- including suicides, cardiac arrests in long queues, hospital casualties and a murder in a fit of rage -- in the past few days have been attributed to demonetisation. The move has caused a huge cash crunch in the country and turned life upside down for the lower middle class and poor families in India.

Eleven people have died in Uttar Pradesh, most due to cardiac attacks since Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8 night announced the recall of 500- and 1,000-rupee notes, rendering them illegal.

Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Gujarat reported three deaths each while two persons each have died in Telangana, Bihar, Mumbai, Kerala and Karantaka.

Seven persons have died in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and West Bengal, put together.

In Odisha, a two-year-old, suffering from high fever, died after an auto-rickshaw driver refused the family a ride because it didn’t have lower denomination notes to pay for fare. The deaths in Uttar Pradesh include seven due to cardiac arrests and

two suicides in the past one week.

A farmer in Bulandshahr allegedly hanged himself in his hosue on Sunday after he failed to exchange his old currency notes. The police said he was to marry off his daughter on December 4 and had visited a bank to exchange his old notes but could not do so because of the surging crowds.

Two minors were also reported to have died in the state after their parents failed to arrange lower denomination notes for their treatments in hospitals. The hospitals denied the charges. The consequences of demonetisation have also claimed three lives in Jharkhand. Police sources said two died on Wednesday and one on Tuesday.

Ramchandra Paswan died afer standing in a crushing queue for more than four hours at a State Bank of India branch in Mohammadganj. In another incident, 70year-old Lakshmi died of shock over the death of his 20-year-old grandson Lavkush in Bokaro district. Lavkush died on Tuesday night as the economic condition of the family had worsened. His father, a daily wage worker, was unable to get work in the past few days.

FREE FIBROSCAN DC-2556

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee today cautioned that a scenario opposite to job creation can spell disaster in the country. Addressing a conference of heads of educational institutions, he said job creation figures were the lowest in past seven years and jobs creation is a priority. Citing incidents of student unrest in institutions, the President emphasised upon a harmonious and peaceful environment for students to pursue higher studies and asked government departments concerned to facilitate academic leaders.

Mukherjee said country’s institutions must become magnets for talent by shifting from “brain drain” to “brain rain”.

“In India, we have enough talent. With the largest population of the young, we are poised to leverage a low dependency ratio. But that depends on the productivity of the population in the working age bracket. If there are enough jobs in the country, there will be content, refinement and perfection. An opposite scenario can spell disaster.

“The restlessness and frustration of youth manifests in unrest and upheaval.

Let us not allow such a situation to appear on our horizon. We must turn our evolving demographic configuration into strength. For that, adequate job creation is a priority. The job creation figures of 1.35 lakh in 2015, which is the lowest in seven years, are not encouraging,” the President said.

Thinking about things

W

hether or not our politicians, or to be precise, those who remote-control everything in Nagaland, realize, people have grown weary of their games which have made a mess of things by the overuse of “clever politics” and “ideas that sound good”. Very few politicians speak sense while a majority parrot their speeches with little understanding of what their bureaucrats tell them. Most are at home with the run of the mill which can be described as demagoguery that seeks to blend the emotion with notion; no matter what it translates in reality. In the realm of politicians; after all politics is the art of manipulation. Opinions and views work in tandem to create the balancing options of exposing society to the weather of concepts. Even in politics, the ideology of war for peace or destroying for buildinghave strong roots in the concept of re-inventing a conceptual vision. Much has been witnessed in Nagaland during the past decades over the protracted Naga political issue or, as some would prefer to use the term , the “political problem”. Thus, it may be said that the seeking solution has become an issue for the problem. And what should be done over the issue remains the problem. While elected representatives deliberate, it appears that the art of statecraft has, as usual, given way to the platitude over the people’s desire. Decision making process, at least in the context of Nagaland and which involve social issues, have to be traversed along the path of consultation.

However, consultations cannot be held without first informing what the issue is and highlighting the same before the event. It should not also be an occasion to seek “immediate consensus” since such exercises turn out to the manipulative and cause long lasting problems. However, there is also a need to understand that there are unseen things, such as ‘silence’. This silence comes not because there is no sound but because society has been muted and is only trying to come out of that. Differences of opinions used to be silenced and this inward growth has led to problems. When attempts are made for symptomatic treatment, then only makes the disease worse. People may be politically mature if seen from the evolution of politics through the decades. However, like seasons, the evolutionary thoughts have taken different opinions as elements which have been exposed as either relevant and irrelevant. Political leaders have to shape in to the needs of a society that has lived through much of that rhetoric and demagoguery of the decades and there are hardly anymore takers for non-performers. Society can only be called as such if it has reached a level where understanding and concerns are at almost the same level. What may be required is a recognition that it is time to jettison some issues that have retarded the progress. It does not in any way diminish the strength of one’s own conviction that a particular viewpoint is the correct one in diagnosing the ailment. In the end, it’s all in the mind where the force of public reasoning offers some measure of insurance. The time and opportunity is for looking at alternative options for intellectual synthesis towards a free and progressive society that all seek to achieve.

DailyDevotion Still Human!

…whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31 In the Scriptures, the great miracle of the incarnation slips into the ordinary life of a child; the great miracle of the transfiguration fades into the demonpossessed valley below; the glory of the resurrection descends into a breakfast on the seashore. This is not an anticlimax, but a great revelation of God. We have a tendency to look for wonder in our experience, and we mistake heroic actions for real heroes.

It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us. If we are not looking for halos, we at least want something that will make people say, “What a wonderful man of prayer he is!” or, “What a great woman of devotion she is!” If you are properly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the lofty height where no one would ever notice you personally. All that is noticed is the power of God coming through you all the time.

We want to be able to say, “Oh, I have had a wonderful call from God!” But to do even the most humbling tasks to the glory of God takes the Almighty God Incarnate working in us. To be utterly unnoticeable requires God’s Spirit in us making us absolutely humanly His. The true test of a saint’s life is not successfulness but faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life “hidden with Christ in God” in our everyday human conditions (Colossians 3:3). Our human relationships are the very conditions in which the ideal life of God should be exhibited.

hen the country’s mood is the right, you cannot expect it to vote for Hillary Clinton who represents the left-ofthe-centre if not the left.

Donald Trump’s victory is an assertion of the white who constitute nearly 63 per cent and still have the phobia of being a minority. It is an unfortunate thinking but one cannot write it off because that is what America is today. Once again, the thesis of isolation is coming to the fore. There have been a substantial number of people in America who believe that they should go it alone and not bother about what the rest of the world feels about them. But this thought has not captured America at the White House. The outgoing President, Barrack Obama, had two terms although he represented the non-whites.

The policy of isolation has been tried before in the country but the people have come back to a secular policy, which has recognized the constitution more than the minority or the majority.

President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican but he has gone down in the his-

tory as the most acceptable personality by the minority as well. Donald Trump has, no doubt, outlandish views on Muslims but he is bound to be influenced by the realities of the world.

America cannot afford to have an anti-Muslim policy and still expect trade with the middle-east and other Muslim countries. The realities of economics are bound to guide the person at the White House.

In a country where unemployment is the main problem, the promise to give jobs has an appeal. The young voters have been very much influenced by this call because they are in the market to seek job. They have heeded to Donald Trump because he, compared to Hillary Clinton, represents that sentiment. She is seen to support continuity. If Hillary Clinton had won and had deal with a Republican Congress, she would have moved towards the middle as her husband did after the Republican Revolution of 1994. Hillary is regarded as more liberal than Bill Clinton on economic issues. On foreign policy, it is likely that

Nagaland Post, Dimapur thursday, November 17, 2016

many voters saw Trump as a patriotic person with gravitas who could be a great head of state, in spite of his arrogant behavior at times and big ego. Widespread anger at the federal government is another key factor that helps explain Trump’s support.

Trump generally receives a lot of support because he is an outsider who is not a politician. For instance, the entrance polls showed that a majority were angry and dissatisfied with Democrats.

Trump is skeptical of free trade and China’s currency manipulation, and he wants to bring jobs back to America. Trump is a fighter and a successful businessman who understands the economy, many voters feel. Trump, a billionaire, gets credit for using his own money instead of relying on rich donors to private political action committees formed to back presidential candidates. Many people like that Trump is not beholden to anyone and that the Trump campaign has not spent large amounts of money on negative advertisements.

Post-mortem

T

he State of Nagaland was created out of the 16-Points Memorandum submitted to Govt. of India (GOI) by Naga Peoples’ Convention (NPC) in 1960. The incorporation of the Memorandum’s protective clauses in Art 371(A) of the Constitution of India satisfied the NPC and thus the creation of Nagaland as the 16th State in the Union of India was accepted 53 years ago.

Nevertheless, NNC rejected the offer of Statehood and went against NPC to the extent of killing its President late Dr. Imkongliba Ao. Thus, the creation of Statehood failed to bring lasting peace as the Naga National Movement continues till today.

All through these years, the Art 371(A) remains to be the icon for debates mostly amongst the Nagas both for and inadvertently or intentionally against it. Of late, it reappeared in local papers dated 12.11.2016 with the comment from Dr. Imtiwapang, Parliamentary Secy. for Geology and Mining under the caption “PIL a threat on Art 371(A)”. As I sifted through the brief article, I understood his contention that the PIL (he did not name Lotha Hoho) filed by Lotha Hoho against Nagaland Petroleum and Natural Gas (NPNG) Rules & Regulations of 2012 had subsequently attracted the counter affidavit filed at Kohima Bench of Guwahati High Court by Union Petroleum ministry, GOI, against the same NPNG Rules and Regulations. Yet, to pass the buck to Lotha Hoho is like the question as to whether the egg or the hen comes first. Would Lotha Hoho file PIL against the said Rules had it not been found defective and threat to fundamental rights of the indigenous people of Nagaland? It is common knowledge that Lotha Hoho’s PIL was not against Art 371(A) but against those clauses in the NPNG Rules found detrimental to provisions in Art 371(A). Had the exploration of oil by MOGPL not been stalled, it would have become an item of NSDZ being in operation. Kudos to Lotha Hoho.

Specifically, the Lotha Hoho’s irk against the NPNG Rules of 2012 is both the question of making the Govt. of Nagaland as one of the landowners in Rule 4(3) and also the shoddy mechanism of sharing profit accrued out of

Battering Art 371(A)

oil exploration. The Rules and Regulations, in my layman’s understanding, lack clarity on the nature of royalty which both the State Govt. and the land owners deserve to be compensated.

Also, to make State Govt. of Nagaland as land owner is a complete contrary to Naga tradition that the individuals, communities within a Village or the Village as a whole are the absolute landowners of lands in Nagaland but not State Govt.

Whereas, over the years I came across how both Govt. of Nagaland and organisations have had battered Art 371(A) as to the extent of undermining it or harmed it through misuse as I can recollect few of such instances.

1. Firstly, the Naga Mothers Association represented by its Joint Action Committee on 33% Women Reser vation in Town Councils submitted a representation to Chief Minister of Nagaland on 19.3.2012 in which it asserted that the 73rd and 74th Amendment(s) of Indian Constitution had superseded Art 371(A). Are Naga women of Nagaland satisfied with the decimation or removal of Art 371(A) if they are allowed to become Councillors in small towns under reservation?

2. Secondly, quoting from Jonas Yanthan’s article appeared in Nagaland Page dated 7.6.2016 that the Chief Secretary of Govt. of Nagaland officially declared that “Nagas are owners of land but their ownership is only the top soil...Underneath resources belong to the Govt.” in a consultative meeting on ‘Transfer of land and its resources’ held at Kisama sometime during 2010 in which all tribal Hohos, Naga lawyers and elected representatives attended. Reportedly known that hardly anyone raised a voice against it. What a distortion! The statement had hidden agenda with intent to impose NPNG Rules on Nagaland for personal profit. This is how the State Govt. protects Art 371(A).

3. Thirdly, quoting the comment of Justice (Retd) Zelre Angami who spoke in a seminar on Art 371(A) visa vis NPNG Rules of 2012 organised by Kohima Bar Association at Kohima which appeared in Nagaland Post on 5.11.2013. The retired Justice ‘said that serious questions may be raised as to the effect of the regulations, which has not been made by following the legislation

procedures laid down in the Constitution of India’. This is how the NPNG Rules of 2012 remains controversial and challengeable in relation to Art 371(A).

Whereas, the then Union Minister Dr. Mahesh Joshi in-charge of Petroleum and Natural Gas under UPA replied to Unstarred Question No.2423(c) on 10.3.2011 in Lok Sabha as to ‘whether gas extracted on the land in areas’ have claimed by some States to be their properties? To which the reply runs “In this regard, Ministry of Law and Justice, GOI is of the opinion that the term ‘land and its resources’ in Art 371(A) would include mineral oil and their resources and the State of Nagaland would have the power to frame its own laws regarding ownership and transfer of such land and resources under Art 371(A).”

Secondly, a resolution was adopted by Nagaland State Assembly on July 26, 2010 on Petroleum and Natural Gas exploration in the State of Nagaland in the light of Art 371(A). To this resolution, the Solicitor General of India Gopal Subramanium had given his observation in favour of the State of Nagaland on 18.2.2011. Being conscious of space sharing, quoting the observation is avoided here.

Nevertheless, Nagas should not be surprised to learn that the Union Petroleum Ministry, GOI has become the No.8 respondent to Lotha Hoho’s PIL and challenging the constitutional validity of Art 371(A) under which whether the State Assembly of Nagaland has power to make laws relating to use of land and its resources. And I recollect few historical instances of how the people of Nagaland were mistreated by GOI in the past. Worst is the present that BJP leaders talked about review of Art 370 for Jammu & Kashmir and now the contemplation of the enforcement of Uniform Civil Code.

Firstly, the 9-Point agreement between NNC and Governor Hydari on behalf of GOI in 1947 was unilaterally abrogated by GOI. Secondly, Nagaland was placed under External Affairs Minister, GOI as per No.2 of 16-Points Memorandum of 1960 was unilaterally reviewed after 9 years by GOI in 1972.

Thirdly, as per No.12 of 16-Points Memorandum, ‘the reserved forests that

were transferred out of Naga areas’ and placed under Assam were to be returned to Nagaland remains undone even after elapse of 53 years of Statehood. GOI has no interest to sincerely handle this issue due to which Nagaland remains to be the only un-demarcated State out of 29. Fourthly, as per No.11 (i)&(ii) how to fund Nagaland was agreed. The GOI once again unilaterally nullified the funding pattern after 26 years in 1989.

As per the maxim ‘history repeats itself ’, the history may repeat even in the case of Art 371(A) pertaining to counter affidavit being filed by Union Petroleum Ministry. Taking advantage of the situation, the BJP Govt. may try its best to decimate the power of Nagaland Assembly under Art 371(A). Of course, to emasculate the power of authority enshrined in Art 371(A) needs amendment with the approval of two-third majority of MPs in both Houses of Parliament. Nevertheless, to my belief, any court judgement in favour of the affidavit in question may become the point for reference in near future. Consequentially, in near future any attempt of GOI to scrap or emasculate the authority vested in Art 371(A) will automatically strain the relationship between Nagaland and the Union of India. In other words, once the Art 371(A) is placed in jeopardy at the instance of GOI, the question as to whether Nagaland’s integration with the Union of India is not desirable will arise.

The GOI is contemplating to legislate Uniform Civil Code in the name of giving equal treatment to all. Side by side, Art 371(A) is the eyesore and envy to many asking questions as to why the status of States within the Union vary from one another.

Meanwhile, the law makers in Nagaland may have to get down to their task and ratify those self infringing clauses or provisions in any of the framed rules which directly or indirectly impede the vibrancy of Art 371(A). I hope the law makers are ready to promptly react appropriately to Law Commission of India trying to promulgate Uniform Civil Code in the country including Nagaland. Also, the NMA may have to retract the statement that had dented on the Article 371(A).

Inskeep compares the New York real estate magnate to President Andrew Jackson of the 1820s and 1830s.

Trump attracts a particularly large group of supporters in the disadvantaged Appalachia region, as Jackson did.

Jackson was a populist who did well among a diverse group of people and was tough on Indians the way Trump wants to punish illegal immigrants. However, the unfortunate fallout is that America would cease to have active interest in what happens in the world.

For example, the complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan would give a free run to the ISIS which represents a radical form of Islam. Even the Taliban are not relevant.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is conscious of this but he has to move according to the wishes of the army which believes that the Taliban are required to fight the radicals. This is probably the time when both India and Pakistan can have a joint front to fight for the people in the region. This would be good for the two countries and also for the world.

NSCN (K) responds to Hokato Vusshe

t is not the desire of the NSCN/GPRN to engage in mudslinging however, the record need to be set straight. If Mr. Hokato Vusshe wishes to contest the truth, he must explain several episodes of sabotage and anti-NSCN conspiracies he masterminded in collaboration with Indian Security Agencies.

The residents of New Colony, Zunheboto bears witness to the fact that in a broad day light, the Commanders and jawans of Assam Rifles met Hokato at the residence of former Chairman, Sumi Region, GPRN and he personally took the initiative in handing over to Assam Rifles all the official records, files and registers and various sensitive information pertaining to every Sumi National workers under the Sumi Region of NSCN/GPRN. With huge amount of cash received from the Indian Security Agencies, Mr. Hokato Vusshe campaigned for several weeks in Zunheboto and offered cash to many NSCN/GPRN families and persuaded them to convince their husband and sons to defect to Khehoi Camp by promising them even more cash rewards in the event of defection.

Taking exception to this offensive activities of Mr. H. Vusshe,a senior Naga Army officer personally called up Sumi Hoho Executive, registered our protest and also appealed to Sumi Hoho to restrain Hokato Vusshe from defiantly collaborating with Assam Rifles against NSCN/GPRN lest unnecessary factional clash erupts in Zunheboto District. If such connivance with Assam Rifles is not anti-National, Hokato must then provide appropriate definition as to what it was all about.

If all his financial records has been audited and cleared as claimed, how does he explain for Crores of Rupees he made away with while defecting?

He must also remember that on the pretext of having picnic at the riverside he invited more than twenty cadres and while eating lunch, Hokato’s Lieutenant cocked the rifle and informed the comrades that they were defecting to Khehoi Camp and therefore anyone not willing may walk away, at the gun point none could protest but comply, however almost all the cadres returned to our fold at various intervals bemoaning the treachery of Hokato Vusshe.

It must also be said that at the quarter where Hokato resided at Suruhuto camp, everything was stripped naked and most embarrassingly even the utensils, gas stoves and cylinders, TV set, blankets, cushions and even doormats and wash basins were taken away with him besides more than thirty weapons and huge quantities of ammunition and explosives. It thus remains far from over that his records are cleared.

Mr.Hokato must also explain why he is still infatuated with NSCN/GPRN and continues to meddle in our internal affairs by trying to cozy up with several of our senior officers, constantly reminds them persuasively of the futility of serving in the NSCN/ GPRN and at the same time even tries to sow seeds of division amongst Sumi National workers as if we are blind and naive.

If there is any semblance of decency and fair play in Khehoi Camp’s leadership, they would be delighted to know how Hokato Vusshe despite being a Kilonser in it’s camp continues to collect taxes in the name of NSCN/GPRN employing various rogue agents and even offering his henchman a co-defector and currently a Secretary in Khehoi Camp to assist NSCN/ GPRN in tax collections in and around Dimapur and Kohima.

On several occasions Hokato Vusshe himself offered to covertly aid and oversee tax collections for NSCN in Dimapur but with known ulterior motive to penetrate our set-up and to later betray us to Indian Security Agencies. Unfortunately, some of our workers like Capt.Tovika and former cadre It.Noghuka fell victim to this ploy and were consequently arrested by Indian Securities.

As for Kughato Chishi and Sgt.Vikuto, they have always been an agent of Hokato regardless of which ever group they defect to, It is therefore not necessary to provide further explanation on their diabolical roles.

Cautioning of capital punishment comes with assent from the highest authority of NSCN/GPRN and is applicable to antiNSCN and anti-National agents, Mr.Hokato Vusshe may therefore not take the warning personally unless he is one.

Mamata Bannerjee speaks as a delegation of MPs led by her and NC leader Omar Abdullah meeting President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Wednesday. (PTI)

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (PTI): Seeking immediate withdrawal of demonetisation exercise, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today met President Pranab Mukherjee along with leaders of National Conference, AAP and NDA ally Shiv Sena and submitted a memorandum voicing serious concern over the crisis arising out of ban on Rs 1000 and Rs 500 currency notes.

Banerjee led a march to Rashtrapati Bhavan from Parliament alongwith TMC MPs, AAP MP Bhagwant Mann, Shiv Sena MP Harshul, NC leader and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah among others.

“We had a successful meeting with the President during which we discussed the issue. And the President said he would look into the matter,” she said, after emerging out of the Rashtrapati Bhawan.

She said the situation

arising out of demonetisation has triggered a sort of constitutional crisis.

Speaking about her next move on the issue, she said “Our party will move adjournment motion in Lok Sabha”.

Expressing concern over the problems being faced by the people after the demonetisation move, she said “We have requested the President to speak to the government and decide on this and bring back normalcy in the country.

President was once the Finance Minister and knows country’s situation better than anyone else, he will take appropriate action.”

Leaders of the other opposition parties including Congress, Left parties, SP and BSP did not took part in the protest march.

Describing as “dictatorial and draconian step” the government’s demonetisation move, the memorandum has sought its immediate suspension.

“Stop harassment of

the common people by lifting of all sorts of restrictions recently thrust upon them,” the five-page memorandum said, and added “ensure that supply of essential commodities in adequate quantities be restored in the markets forthwith.” Before beginning the march from Parliament, Mamata said “The march is to save common people from disaster.”

Mann said the ban has affected the normal functioning of the household as there is no money available.

However, the Shiv Sena differed on the issue and insisted the government to extend the deadline of accepting the old currency notes.

“We welcome the demonetisation move. But we are against the inconvenience caused to people due to it. We have not signed the memorandum (that will be presented to the President Pranab Mukherjee).

food safety standards review panel to be set up

MUMBAI, NOV 16 (PTI): The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) today said it is in the process of setting up a food safety standards review panel to identify gaps in the existing standards for safe and nutritious food against international standards.

“FSSAI has formulated a three-pronged strategy for ensuring safe and nutritious food for the 1.3 billion people in India. We are in the process of setting up a food safety standards review panel to identify gaps in existing standards for safe and nutritious food against international standards,” FSSAI CEO Pawan Kumar Agarwal said here.

“FSSAI will also look at ensuring that these food safety standards are complied by stakeholders in the food business through third party auditing and food inspections,” he added.

Inspections will become a norm as far as food safety is concerned, Agarwal said while speaking at a seminar ‘Surakshit Khadya Abhiyan’, a national mission on safe and nutritious food initiated by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Food & Agriculture Centre of Excellence (FACE).

FSSAI will also strengthen capacity building and training of food safety labs and master trainers in food safety standards, who can further train the stakeholders in the food value chain. “Also, awareness will be create amongst consumers about food safety and nutritious foods, be it at home, schools, colleges, work place, street food, social and cultural centres,” Agarwal said.

Agarwal expressed optimism that India as a nation can address the food safety issues “if we create a brand and work on it wholeheartedly in a collective manner”.

SC rejects plea for review of jallikattu verdict NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (PTI): The Supreme Court today dismissed the plea of the Tamil Nadu government seeking review of the 2014 judgement banning use of bulls for jallikattu events in the state and bullock-cart races across the country.

A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and R F Nariman rejected the state government’s review petition, filed in 2014 through its Chief Secretary, saying that it was illegal and unconstitutional as the taming of bulls for such an event amounted to “cruelty”. Senior advocate Shekhar Naphade, appearing for the state, submitted during the hearing that the jallikattu is not cruel as a whole, and instances of animal torture

are isolated cases. The apex court had on January 21 dismissed similar pleas for reexamination of the 2014 judgement.

A bench of Justices Gopala Gowda and P C Ghose, during in-chamber proceedings, had dismissed the review petitions filed by some residents of Tamil Nadu seeking reconsideration of the ban order on the controversial bull-taming sport.

On January 8, the Centre had issued a notification lifting the ban on jallikattu in Tamil Nadu with certain restrictions, which was challenged in the apex court by Animal Welfare Board of India, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, a Bangalore-based NGO and others.

G U WA H A T I , N O V 16 (PTI): National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to the Ministry of Home Affairs on a complaint alleging “draconian approach” of the Centre in the renewal of Foreign Contribution Regulation ACT (FCRA) license of a non-governmental organisation.

“The 7th Human Rights Defender Forum Colombo, Sri Lanka, has informed the Commission to intervene in the FCRA license non-renewal of Centre for Promotion of Social Concerns (CPSC),” said an NHRC release today. “Such a systematic attack on rights of Human Rights Defenders and on fundamental rights of the association and assembly as enshrined in Article 19 of the Constitution has also been brought to notice of the Commission,” it said.

UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Association and Assembly in his local analysis of FCRA 2010 had submitted a report of the Government of India in 2016 arguing that FCRA was not in conformity with international law, principles and standards as access to resources including foreign funding is a fundamental part of the right to freedom of association under the international laws, standards and principles, it said.

Identified bank branches are provided with black indelible ink bottles of 5 ml each and the cap of the bottle includes a small brush for applying the ink.

According to SOP released by the RBI, indelible ink can be applied by the cashier or any other official designated by the bank before the notes are given to the customer so that while the exchange of notes is taking place, a few seconds elapse which will allow the ink to dry up and prevent removal of ink.

Indelible ink on the index finger of the left hand or any other finger of the left hand cannot be used.

MUMBAI, NOV 16 (PTI): Reversing its two-day fall, the rupee recovered by 19 paise to 67.55 against the US dollar in early trade on Wednesday on fresh selling of the American currency by banks and exporters.

Forex dealers said weakness of dollar against other currencies overseas and a higher opening in the domestic equity market also boosted the trading sentiment.

Besides, the retail inflation declining to 14month low of 4.2 per cent in October also helped in lifting the mood.

On Tuesday, the rupee tumbled by 49 paise to end at near five-month low of 67.74 following frantic demand for the American currency amid heavy capital outflows.

NEW DELHI, NOV 16 (Agencies): Reliance Industries is preparing to launch feature phones with 4G capability, creating a new category of mobile devices in India in a bid to attract millions of users to its telecom venture Reliance Jio Infocomm. These devices could be priced as low as about Rs 1,000 and will come bundled with unlimited voice and video calling, besides digital content, people familiar with the plans said. The Mukesh Ambani-owned company will offer the feature phones with voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology, seeking to win over customers from the rural and tier-III markets who use phones mainly to make calls.

pany, cooperative bank and post offices on account of aggregate cash deposits in one or more current account of a person.

Banks and post offices now have to file a statement of financial transaction in respect of these transactions on or before January 31, 2017, the notification said.

Earlier, they were required to report to the I-T Department only when cash deposits in an account exceeded Rs 10 lakh in one full year.

In view of apprehensions that large number of illegal or black money may sought to be converted into white during the window provided till December 30, the Revenue Department has issued fresh set of instructions.

In a major assault on black money, counterfeit notes and terror financing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on November 8 announced demonetisation of high value currency notes of Rs 1000/500 and asked the public to deposit

New Delhi, NOV 16 (PTI): To stop repeat money exchangers thronging banks with invalid currency notes, banks have started applying indelible ink mark on the right hand index finger of customers in the select metro cities.

SBI and few other banks in Delhi have started using indelible ink. As per the government statement, 11 branches of SBI are using the method to weed out customers queuing up again and again to exchange invalid currency notes.

As per the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for exchanging notes, concerned bank branches and post offices would put indelible ink mark on the right index finger of the customer so as to identify that he/she has exchanged the old currency notes once.

The move comes amid reports of long queues and chaotic scenes at banks and ATMs across the country for past several days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week announced the withdrawal of old Rs

New Delhi, Nov 16 (PTI): The government has asked banks and post offices to report to the I-T Department all deposits above Rs 2.50 lakh in savings accounts, and more than Rs 12.50 lakh in current accounts, made during the 50-day window provided to tender the scrapped 500 and 1000 rupee notes.

As per a notification issued today, banks, cooperative banks and post offices will have to report to the tax department cash deposits exceeding Rs 50,000 in a single day or aggregating to more than Rs 2.5 lakh during the period November 9, to December 30, 2016.

These entities will also have to report cash deposits during the period aggregating to Rs 12.50 lakh or more, in one or more current account of a person.

The Finance Ministry has notified the amended Rule for filing of Annual Information Return (AIR) report by banking com-

points or 0.02 per cent lower at 26,298.69.

The gauge had lost 1,213.05 points in previous two sessions to touch a nearly six-month low after fears of acute cash crunch arising out of demonetisation unnerved investors amid capital outflows by foreign funds.

NSE Nifty, however, managed to close in the positive zone with a small gain of 3.15 points, or 0.04 per cent, at 8,111.60 after shuttling between 8,210.05 and 8,089.40.

However, easing inflation numbers, both WPI and CPI, offering more room to RBI to lower rate gave investors some level of comfort.

Rupee remained on a weak wicket against the dollar, losing 20 paise to close at 67.94.

The BSE Mid-Cap index provisionally rose 0.56 per cent, while the smallcap index gained 0.05 per cent.

Major losers included ITC (2.94 per cent), Dr Reddy’s (2.89 per cent), Cipla (2.55 per cent), Lupin (2.27 per cent) and Sun Pharma (2.13 per cent).

Mumbai, Nov 16 (PTI): Sensex gave up its initial gains and ended marginally lower, pulled down by consumer durables, healthcare and metal counters following a bout of fag-end profit booking, while the Nifty managed to close above the 8,100-mark.

Participants are keeping an eye on the Winter Session of Parliament, which started today, and US fiscal policies to be followed

by President-elect Donald Trump.

Investors are still in a risk-off mode, taking cues from global markets that were on the back foot ahead of Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s testimony tomorrow.

“The market rebounded as investors used the advantage of a drop in valuation while the selling at higher levels pulled back the market to close flat,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services.

Sensex started off on a strong footing and advanced to a high of 26,621.40.

However, it succumbed to profit-booking at higher levels, falling to 26,239.21, before settling 5.94

them in banks by December 30.

Since then, seemingly unending queues of people trying to deposit and exchange their scrapped currency notes are being witnesses at banks and post offices.

Tax department officers are of the view that the 50-day window provided to people to deposit or exchange notes should not be misused and hence the need to keep a tab on such high value deposits.

Those depositing large amounts of unaccounted money will have to face the consequences under tax laws, which provide for a 30 per cent tax, 12 per cent interest and a 200 per cent penalty.

“CBDT has brought two-fold amendment casting a reporting responsibility on the taxpayer as well as the bank, thereby ensuring that bank doesn’t let go off the non-compliant taxpayers,” Nangia & Co Managing Partner Rakesh Nangia said.

Russia pulls out from the International Criminal Court

Vladimir Putin

M o s c ow, N ov 1 6 (IANS): The Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered Russia to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, media reported.

According to Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry statement, Putin formally ordered by decree the withdrawal of Russia’s signature from the Rome Statute, the founding document establishing the ICC, an international tribunal set up two decades ago to prosecute war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity, Efe news agency reported.

“The court failed to meet the expectations to become a truly independent and authoritative international tribunal,” the statement said. “The decision of the Russian Federa-

tion not to become a party to the Rome Statute (to withdraw its signature from the Statute) entails legal consequences provided for by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969,” it added.

This resolution -which implies that Russia now falls outside the ICC’s jurisdiction -- immediately came into force on Wednesday.

The ministry criticised in its statement the fact that, “during the 14 years of the court’s work it passed only four sentences having spent over a billion dollars.”

Russia’s disag reements with the ICC were amplified after the court decided to investigate alleged war crimes committed during the August 2008 conflict between Georgia

and Russia over the separatist south Ossetia region.

“The (then-Georgian President) Saakashvili regime’s attack on peaceful (South-ossetian capital) Tskhinvali, the assassination of the Russian peacekeepers resulted in the court’s accusations against south-ossetian militia and Russian soldiers,” the statement said.

On the other hand, Moscow added, the “investigation of actions and orders of Georgian officials was left to the discretion of the Georgian justice and remains outside of the focus of the ICC.” “This development speaks for itself. We can hardly trust the ICC in such a situation,” the Foreign Ministry declared.

Russia signed the Rome Statute -- first drafted in 1998 -- in the year 2000, although it never ratified the treaty. The nations that ratified it numbered 123 states, with the notable exceptions of the US, China and Israel. With this decision, no Russian citizens may be tried by the ICC in The Hague for war crimes or genocide unless an express resolution is passed by the UN’ Security Council, of which Russia is a veto-wielding permanent member.

SL launches plan to address sexual violence

Colombo, Nov 16 (IANS): Sri Lanka on Wednesday launched a national action plan to address sexual and gender-based violence. The action plan was officially launched by the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) here, Xinhua news agency reported.

The national action plan, developed on the vision of creating “a violence-free life for women and children” with zero tolerance for sexual and gender-based violence in Sri Lanka, is significant as it was formulated using a multi-sectoral approach with engagement from key ministries representing nine sectors.

West Virginia, NOV 16 (Agencies): The mayor of a town in the US state of West Virginia has resigned after she was caught up in a controversy over racist comments about Michelle Obama.

Beverly Whaling had appeared to applaud a Facebook post referring to Obama as an “ape in heels”.

She wrote that the post had made her day, but later said she was referring to the election outcome.

A petition calling for the mayor’s resignation had gathered over 170,000 signatures. Whaling was the mayor of the town of Clay, which has a population of just 491. The town has no African American residents, according to the 2010 census. In Clay County as a whole, more than 98% of its 9,000 residents are white.

Whaling had responded to a Facebook post by Pamela Ramsey Taylor, a local resident who runs a non-profit group in Clay County, which referred to the first lady as an “ape”.

“It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified first lady in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels,” Taylor wrote.

Whaling responded with “just made my day Pam”. While Clay County has a small population, the furore over the Facebook post spread far and wide.

Taylor had already been dismissed from her post.

Whaling had already issued a written apology to news media outlets saying that her comment wasn’t intended to be racist.

by Aamir Khan’s many science experiments in the 2009 blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’ -- now Sonam Wangchuk, the inspiration behind Aamir Khan’s “Phunsukh Wangdu” character in the film, has gained further global recognition bagging the prestigious Rolex Awards for Enter prise 2016.

The awards were presented on Tuesday in Los Angeles to those “who have reshaped the world with their innovative thinking and dynamism”. Sonam’s “Ice Stupas” project is among the five winners this year at the awards.

Sonam Wangchuk, a 50-year-old Ladakhi engineer, has been attempting to solve the problem of lack of water for agriculture in the desert landscapes of the western Himalayas by building “Ice Stupas”.

The Ladakh region, at roughly 3,500-metre altitude between the Kunlun and Great Himalayan mountain ranges, faces acute water shortage during the April-May early crop-growing period.

Wangchuk was certain that access to water in the desert landscapes around many high altitude towns and villages of Ladakh could be improved if the huge seasonal outflow of glacial water could be frozen.

Inspired by the experimental work of a fellow Ladakhi engineer, Chewang Norphel, Wangchuk developed a simple and effective system, creating what he calls “ice stupas” -- conical ice mounds that behave like mini-glaciers, slowly releasing water for the growing season.

“The Rolex Award funds will support the project and promote ice stupas as a climate-change adaptation and desert-greening technique,” Wangchuk said in a statement released by Rolex.

From record of the year to best urban album, YouTube analyzed the performance of the nominees’ videos and channels during the Latin Grammy eligibility period -- which was July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016.

So whether these predictions are right or wrong, the official winners will be announced Thursday during Univision’s live broadcast of the ceremony at 8 p.m. ET.

Lionel Messi was Argentina’s hero yet again, netting a sensational free-kick and setting up the other two goals to lead his country to three crucial points in San Juan.

La Albiceleste put paid to a four-game winless run and a 202-minute goal drought in emphatic fashion by scoring three in a game for the first time this qualifying campaign. They also kept their first clean sheet in five.

As for Colombia, inform Radamel Falcao’s return to the starting line-up was not enough to inspire an end to their blues in Argentina, where they have failed to score in their last five visits in World Cup preliminaries, of which they have drawn one and lost the other four. “There’s nothing

you can do when Messi is in this sort of mood, because he can make the difference all by himself,” said Jose Pekerman. “Now we’ve got to look ahead because it’s going to be a tight affair right down to the wire.”

Elsewhere Brazil remain perfect under Tite after deservedly triumphing 2-0 in Lima to make it six successive wins in qualifying. Gabriel Jesus and Renato Augusto got the goals, both of which came in the second half, to earn the Brazilians their first victory in Peru in three attempts, having previously been held to two straight draws. Ricardo Gareca’s charges, for their part, failed to find the net for the first time in six matches.

of the slump was as great as people would have assumed.” Thawadi stressed on the point that the SC would keep its promise of hosting a world class World Cup. “Of course, we will keep our promise of hosting the World Cup,” he

stressed. Enumerating the new business models towards achieving the goal, he added, “We are working with the government and private sector together. The PPP or the public-private partnership model, we are working on that.

patch Uruguay 3-1 and rise back into the automatic qualification places.

The preliminary competition’s leading goalscorer, Edinson Cavani, was on cue to put the visitors ahead with his eighth strike of the campaign. However, an Eduardo Vargas effort and an Alexis Sanchez double turned it around for La Roja, who are unbeaten in their last four home qualifiers against the Uruguayans – you have to go back to 2001 for the last time La Celeste chalked up three points in Santiago. Claudio Bravo’s late penalty save from Luis Suarez prevented a grandstand finish.

Ecuador took almost an hour to make the breakthrough against Venezuela, but ultimately ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in Quito. Arturo Mina, Miller Bolanos and Enner Valencia were all on target for the hosts after the interval, but it was Renato Ibarra who arguably stole the show with his display. The Ecuadorians have now won seven of their eight qualifiers against Venezuela on home soil and each of those victories was secured without conceding a solitary goal.

diego forlan and Keenan Almeida fighting for the ball during Wednesday’s match.

GOA, NOV 16 (AGENCIES): FC Goa and Mumbai City FC played out an entertaining 0-0 encounter at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Goa. The result helps Goa move to the seventh position while Mumbai City FC With Sahil Tavora, Luciano Sabrosa and Rafael Dumas suspended, Zico made two changes from the last game by roping in Gregory Arnolin and Richarlyson Barbosa who completed serving their one-game suspension.

There were two changes in the away team’s starting line-up as well, with goalkeeper Amrinder Singh replacing Albino Gomes and the injured Leo Costa making way for Sony Norde.

The first chance fell for

the hosts as Rafael Coelho managed to get past Lucian Goian in the 14th minute but the Brazilian’s shot from outside the box was blocked by Gerson Vieira.

Minutes later, Rafael beat Sehnaj Singh for pace to release Romeo on the right, whose shot was wide of the right post.

Though the hosts dominated the proceedings through the first quarter, Sunil Chhetri produced a incisive through ball for Diego Forlan whose effort took a deflection off Gregory and fell kindly for Kattimani.

Forlan had a shot fromm about 30 yards out but Kattimani tipped the Mumbai marquee player’s attempt above his post in the 37th minute.

Just before the half-

time whistle, Mandar’s first touch inside the box was disappointing after being played through by Robin after some good work by Rafael through the middle.
