should be submitted on November 23 before 12 noon. Parliamentary secretary for municipal affairs, economic and statistics R. Tohanba also introduced the Nagaland municipal (third amendment) Bill, 2016. It was explained that the objective of the bill came after nearly a decade of inconclusive debate and discussion on women reservation in municipal and town councils and for which the state government decided to conduct polls under the provision of the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 with one third reservation for women. However, Tohanba stated that some tribal bodies pointed out some discrep-

ancies in the NM Act 2001 with respect to reservation of SC/ST and with respect to non-compliance of the Act with Article 371 A (1) (a) of the Indian Constitution in regard to levy and recovery process of taxes on land and buildings. He said the amendments have been accordingly proposed to the Act through the bill. The parliamentar y secretary further said the provisions in the bill did not involve any recurring or non-recurring expenditure from the consolidated fund of the state therefore the bill was not a money bill or a finance bill.

Objecting to the decision of the state government to revoke the September 22, 2012 Assembly resolution on 33% women reservation, during the ongoing Assembly session on Tuesday, Naga Hoho and Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) demanded that the T.R. Zeliang ledgovernment first constitute a committee to review the matter rather than rushing things and creating serious problems in the state. Talking to Nagaland Post, Naga Hoho president P. Chuba Ozukum cautioned the state government, saying “going against the wishes of the people, would only invite protest”. The government should rather try to resolve the matter in consultation with the people and not undermine the peoples’ will, he added. Ozukum further said that the state government should first set up a committee to look into the issue and make amendments accordingly after thorough consultation with the stakeholders. “ T h e g o ve r n m e n t should act as per the wishes

Naga Hoho clarifies on Rongmei recognition issue

D imap u r , N ov 2 2 (NPN): Naga Hoho has reiterated that the “bone of contention” between it and Ao Senden, Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho (under the aegis of Central Nagaland Tribes Council), over the issue of recommendation for recognition of Rongmei as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland has been removed after it had withdrawn its September 22,2008 letter as demanded by the three. Naga Hoho president P.Chuba Ozukum, general secretary Mutsikhoyu Yhobu and dy. speaker Kenyuseng Tep in a joint statement, disclosed that the Hoho had withdrawn the recommendation, at a joint meeting of its presidential council with the Empowered Committee on Goodwill Mission on November 21, 2016. NH said it was blamed for recommending the grating of indigenous Naga tribe status to 1313 members of Rongmeis in Nagaland in 2012 by the government and for which three tribes-Ao Senden, Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho- dissociated from the Naga Hoho since (Cont’d on p-5) August 31,2016.

of the people and should not allow division amongst men and women,” he said. On the other hand, ENPO has also demanded that the state government first form a committee— comprising of both men and women from all walks of life, to review the contentious issue and come up with a logical solution rather than dividing the society and making it a gender issue. ENPO said “the sanctity and power of the NLA should be maintained and should not accept all Central Act which was not applicable to the Nagas”. Almost all tribal hohos had strongly opposed any move by the government to hold civic polls “in a haste” without resolving various issues with all stakeholders. The point is whether the T.R.Zeliang-led DAN government would bulldoze the concerns of the hohos. Voices from the legal, political and tribal hoho representatives had cautioned the government against taking any hasty decision to hold civic polls for the sake of

recalled, that the three tribes through CNTC had issued ultimatum on Naga Hoho to rescind/revoke its recommendation to the state government for recognition of Rongmeis as Indigenous Naga tribe of the state within 30 days. When NH failed to respond and on expiry of the deadline, the three withdrew from Naga Hoho. NH said it had only urged for recognition of the 1313 Rongmeis who had settled in Nagaland prior to December 1,1963 as “indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland” in the same way that Garos, Kukis and Kacharis were accorded as per the April 28,1977 government notification. Further, NH said it had only supported the desire of the state government for granting indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland to Rongmeis and that the exchange of letters on the period indicated that Rongmeis settled before December 1,1963 were eligible for status as indigenous inhabitants. NH also said its delegation met the chief minister on October 14,2016 where a memorandum was submit-

of the Congress party in the Assembly, to familiarize the rules and procedures, may have been the reason for party functionaries to let their imagination get the better of their reasoning and shot off their missives to the media, Peseyie said. Further, Peseyie reminded Congress that there were 8 independent MLAs in the Assembly and not only one, as pointed out. “And all these Independent MLAs are part of the DAN government because no one has withdrawn their support from the present ministry or Leader of the House,” he stated. He said “if the Congress party thinks that proceedings of the Assembly are a ‘winking’ business, it has another thinking coming: The affairs of the State and the Constitutional procedures are never carried out by anyone winking at any body, as the Congress party seems to believe”.

NH said decision to withdraw the letter was take after its empowered committee on goodwill mission submitted its proposal on November 18, 2016 to the executive council requesting to “withdraw the expressed views and opinions of the Naga Hoho to Nagaland Government on the issue of granting status of Indigenous Naga Inhabitant to Rongmei community” in order to strengthen the unity and fraternity of Naga Hoho. It may be mentioned that the three bodies at a meeting on September 29, 2016 while reiterating to stick to dissociation from NH, resolved that any issue pertaining to the three tribes, especially with regard to recognition of Rongmei issue, “will be initiated only under the aegis of CNTC and not separately”.

responsible for the divisions and disunity amongst the Nagas by various tribal organizations. Kitovi maintained that each Naga should introspect and retrospect the elements that led to the division and disunity amongst Nagas. Kitovi said that “Nagaland State creation was just political game and politics of the Indian Union”. Dwelling on the Naga

women reservation issue, Kitovi stated that the Naga women were much advanced in all fields. “Naga womenfolk are excelling more than the male counterpart and it is the male who are desperately in need of such reservations”, said Kitovi on a lighter note. Lambasting the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and AADHAR card policies of the government of India,

Kitovi asserted that such policy (s) should be scrutinized through proper channels/terms and should not be politicized upon keeping in mind of the unique Naga customs and traditions. Accusing the contemporary Naga politicians, elected for five-year tenure, of doing nothing for the common Naga goal, he said they were rather prolonging and hampering the Naga issue for another five centuries. While concluding his speech, Kitovi cautioned that “we are prepared to face any eventualities” and reiterated on the inclusive solution. Earlier, the programme began with the “arrival of the collective leadership” followed by invocation by Senior Pastor Chakhesang Baptist Church Kohima Rev Dr. Vevo Phesao.

AIR Imphal withdraw boycott of Sangai festival Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 22: Following an assurance from the Manipur deputy chief minister Gaikhangam, who is also holding the home portfolio, All India Radio (AIR), Imphal Tuesday withdrew its decision to boycott the Sangai festival currently in progress in Imphal’s Palace Compound. Staffs of the AIR Imphal had earlier taken a decision to stop covering events of Sangai festival alleging that authority of the state government has not responded to the bomb blast that occurred inside the AIR Imphal premise in the evening of November 20 last. Two CRPF personnel guarding the AIR Imphal premise were injured in the blast. State chief minister O Ibobi Singh inspected the preparation of the main venue of the festival which is just opposite to the AIR premise but did not pay any attention to the blast. Besides, none of the top ranking police officers paid a visit to the blast site, apparently busy in security arrangement for the chief minister’s inspection. Highly disappointed with the attitude of the state authority, AIR Imphal staff staged a sit-in protest in front of their office on Monday and announced boycotting the festival. To implement the decision, AIR did not cover the inaugural session of the festival yesterday. State deputy chief minister Gaikhangam today visited the AIR, Imphal and explained the situation which led to nonresponse of the authority.

Asserting that government is seriously taking the attack to the AIR Imphal, he said, “Government is not remaining silent to the attack.” Police are investigating the attack and accused persons will not be spared, the deputy chief minister assured.

Agartala, Nov 22 (IANS): The ruling Left Front led by the CPI-M on Tuesday wrested one assembly seat from the Congress and retained another in Tripura, increasing its tally in the 60-member assembly to 51. According to election officials, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) snatched the Scheduled Caste reserved Barjala seat and retained Khowai seat, defeating the nearest rivals, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Trinamool Congress (TMC), respectively. In Barjala, CPI-M youth leader Jhumu Sarkar defeated BJP’s Shista Mohan Das, a former bureaucrat, by 3,374 Votes. Sarkar got 15,769 votes. In Khowai, CPI-M’s Biswajit Datta trounced TMC’s Manoj Das, a former Left leader, by 16,094 votes. Datta bagged 24,810 votes. Candidates of the Congress, the erstwhile main opposition party in Tripura, came fourth in both places. The Barjala seat fell vacant after Congress legislator Jitendra Sarkar resigned on June 6 following an internal feud within the party while the Khowai seat has been vacant since the death of veteran CPI-M legislator Samir Deb Sarkar. Five candidates each contested from the two constituencies. The election was held on Saturday and over 91 per cent of the 78,400 electorate voted. Congress candidate Rajendra Kumar Das got only 1,063 votes in Barjala and his party colleague Pranab Biswas secured 696 votes in Khowai. In the 2013 assembly elections, CPI-M candidate Samir Deb Sarkar won from Khowai by 8,833 votes while Congress nominee Jitendra Sarkar was elected from Barjala, defeating the CPI-M by 261 votes. The CPI-M, the dominant partner in the Left Front, secured the Khowai assembly seat five consecutive times while the Left has intermittently won from Barjala seat several times. Political analyst Sanjib Deb said the election results showed that the BJP was emerging as an emerging political force in Tripura. “And due to a split in the Congress, the TMC has also become a significant force,” Deb told IANS. A large numbr of leaders and party workers led by six legislators of the Congress in Tripura joined the TMC in June, reducing the Congress strength in the Tripura assembly to three from 10.

Yet another day of washout in Parl

NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (PTI): Parliament today saw yet another day of washout with an aggressive opposition raking up a fresh demand for Rs 10 lakh compensation to the kin of each of those who died due to problems post demonetisation besides pressing for presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the debate on the issue. Neither the Rajya Sabha nor the Lok Sabha could transact any business due to continuous uproar and pandemonium, leading to their premature adjournment. This was the fourth straight working day of Parliament to be wasted. In the Lok Sabha, the opposition, which was joined by AIADMK in targeting the government, continued to press for a debate under a rule which entails voting even as the ruling side vehemently resisted it. Amid noisy Opposition protests, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar maintained that the government was willing to debate every aspect of the issue. Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge and Trinamool Congress’ Sudip Bandhopadhyay said they wanted a debate but demanded the Prime Minister’s presence. Due to the uproar, the House was adjourned for the day, just after noon. In the Rajya Sabha, Opposition parties unitedly stalled proceedings by maintaining that debate on demonetisation cannot be resumed until the Prime Minister is present in the House. They also raked up a fresh demand that compensation of Rs 10 lakh should be paid to the kin of each of the “70 people” who died due to problems after notes

of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 were scrapped. The rare show of unity in opposition camp saw Congress and TMC coordinating and arch rivals of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh SP and BSP jointly shouting slogans. The treasury benches countered them by shouting demands for resumption of the debate on the issue. The House was repeatedly adjourned before the final one at minutes past 3 PM. No sooner were the listed papers laid on the table at the start of the day’s proceedings, Sharad Yadav

(JD-U) said the government should pay a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to kin of the 70 people who lost their lives due to hardships caused by withdrawal of 500 and 1000 rupee notes. Naresh Agarwal (SP) and Mayawati (BSP) said Modi should be called before starting discussion on the demonetisation. “He should come and listen to the pain people have faced because of his decision,” Mayawati said. Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad (Cong) said the opposition

is ready for discussion on the issue but Prime Minister should come to the House first. As he spoke, members of the BJP moved into the aisles raising slogans. At this point, TMC members carrying placards of “Financial Emergency” trooped into the Well, with Congress members following suit. As opposition members shouted slogans from the Well, Kurien said, “You cannot speak in the Well. Shouting in the Well is of no use. If you go back to your seats, I will give you time (to speak).” He told Azad that he was ready to accept his notice under Rule 267 seeking suspension of business if only there is order in the House.

Be present in Parliament: Congress tells Modi

ALLAHABAD, NOV 22 (AGENCIES): Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi needed to stop addressing public meetings and be present in Parliament to address the concerns of the opposition and the 130 crore Indian citizens. “The Prime Minister comes to Parliament, sits in his chamber, but doesn’t attend either Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha, which is a matter of concern not just for the opposition, but also for the 130 crore people of this country. After all, we want to know the reason why the Prime Minister does want to come to both houses, but feels free in giving speeches outside Parliament,” Azad told ANI. “We said the opposition is ready for a discussion, but a prime minister who is addressing public rallies on daily basis, should at least be present in the house,”

he added. Azad said, “The Prime Minister should have cancelled his public meeting after he got news of the Kanpur train tragedy. He should have thought that such a big accident had taken place and rescue operations to save passengers’ lives were still on. But, the Prime Minister commenced his meeting as he was more worried about abusing the opposition, rather than saving passengers.” Shifting his focus on the Centre’s demonetisation policy, he said, “Around 60 lives have been lost since the government brought into force the demonetisation policy. Children, women, elderly, farmers, and poor queue up for long time to get money. As all these lives were lost due to the wrong policy of the government, we demanded that the House should also pay tribute to them, along with the passengers who were killed in the rail mishap, but they refused.”

DU teachers on hunger strike NEW DELHI, NOV 22 (PTI): Scores of Delhi University teachers today staged a day-long hunger strike outside the Vice Chancellor’s office in support of ad-hoc employees’ demand for permanent jobs and pay parity. “The ad-hoc and temporary teachers routinely face a lot of discrimination in their professional lives. In many colleges, unlike the permanent staff, they have to teach more classes moving well beyond the 16-periods-per-week UGC norms. “They are also allotted more examination duties than their permanent counterparts. This form of slavery is reinforced every four months at the time of their rejoining and very often they are humiliated by the college staff because of their ad-hoc status,” said Nandita Narain, President of Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA).
