Naga Hoho ‘last appeal’ to MLAs Warns not to revoke Sept 22, 2012 resolution D I M A P U R , N OV 2 3 (NPN): Naga Hoho has reacted with shock to the introduction of a motion introduced in the legislative assembly on November 22, in the two-day 14th session of the 12th NLA with regard to holding polls to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) with 33% women reservation by making a “last appeal” to all legislators of the 12th NLA to seriously consider all aspects before revoking the September 22, 2012 NLA resolution.

This was stated by Naga Hoho Communication Cell, over the motion which was introduced to be adopted as a resolution of the 12th NLA to revoke the resolution passed by the previous house under Article

This is it!

371A (a) of the constitution of India on September 22, 2012, to exempt Nagaland from application of Part IXA of the constitution of India in ULB elections.

Naga Hoho said the exercise to revoke the September 22, 2012 NLA resolution was nothing less than “undermining the voice of the people of the state”.

Further, the Hoho maintained that “strong opinions” expressed by civil societies and tribe hohos against the Municipal Act of 2001 and 33% women reservation, which were “simple replication” from other states in the mainland had “fallen on deaf ears.”

The Hoho said even if there was no opposition in the 12th NLA, it did not mean that voices of people concerned with protect of their rights “should be strangled”.

The Hoho said it had been advocating to all sections of Naga society, es-

pecially the NLA to show magnanimity and ensure that the 33% women reservation did not create divisions among the people of the state which would result in creation of “an unmanageable situation.”

The Hoho said it felt strongly about the state government’s attempt to implement the Municipal Act of 2001 and 33% women reservation as being “too hasty” and which would only create chaos and “unwanted situations for which the 14th session of the 12th NLA shall be held responsible.”

In the light of the above, Naga Hoho said it was making a last appeal on all the honourable members of the present 12th NLA to weigh the consequences of the “vital issue” before passing the resolution for revocation of the resolution adopted on 22nd September 2012. The Hoho said a revocation of the 2012 resolution was bound to

invite “severe social unrest and disharmony among different Naga tribes, while imposing various provisions under the constitution of India, by discarding the rights of the Naga people” as guaranteed under Article 371A of the Indian constitution.

Meanwhile, the 14th session of the 12thNLA on Thursday is expected to adopt the motion for revocation of the 2012 NLA resolution, without debate or discussion. NPF MLAs have already been issued with a stern 5-point diktat in the form of a whip, five days ahead of the session.

What several tribal hohos have stated during the recent consultations convened by chief minister T.R. Zeliang at the Capital Convention hall on November 16, was to go slow with the planned revocation and instead to have a proper and broader consultations with all stakeholders including women groups.

Rs 3.5 cr flown into Nagaland goes missing G U WA H AT I / D I M A PUR, NOV 23 (AGENCIES/NPN): Central intelligence and income tax agencies are grappling with a peculiar situation with Rs 3.5 crore of cash in scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes “vanishing” after being seized on a private chartered flight at Dimapur airport.

According to the Economic Times report, the cash was seized by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at Dimapur after a tip-off from the Intelligence Bureau and the local Income Tax staff was summoned to take further action with regard to the unaccounted wealth.

But to the surprise of CISF personnel, the report stated that the cash disappeared and the local I-T officer was understood to have claimed that it had been with the security personnel all along. CISF officers who (Cont’d on p-5)

NDA govt rules out revocation of AFSPA NEW DELHI, NOV 23 (AGENCIES): BJP government at the Centre has made it clear that the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA) will not be repealed any time soon, further straining the party’s relations with the Naga People’s Front (NPF), its ally of 13 years in Nagaland.

Trouble has reportedly been brewing in Nagaland between the NPF-led DAN government and BJP since BJP MLA Mmhonlumo Kikon was removed as parliamentary secretary. A large section of the BJP has been demanding that the party pull out of the DAN government.

The opposition, citing alleged extra-judicial killings in Manipur, has been saying the Northeast is on the brink of a humanitarian crisis because of AFSPA. Senior Congress leader Ambika Soni had sought a response from the home ministry on the insurgent situation in the region and on whether the Army was reviewing it. In

July, the Supreme Court also said indefinite deployment of armed forces in the region was a mockery of the democratic process. However, the government has made it clear that AFSPA will not be repealed any time soon.

“The Supreme Court has not struck down AFSPA in view of extra-judicial killings in Manipur.

It has reiterated the views expressed by the Constitution Bench of the apex court in Naga People’s Movement of Human Rights that an allegation of excessive force resulting in the death of any person by the Manipur Police or the armed forces in Manipur must be thoroughly enquired into,” minister of state for home affairs Kiren Rijiju said in Rajya Sabha on Monday.

Activists have alleged 1,528 cases of “extra-judicial killings” by the army and other security forces during 2010-12 in Manipur.

The centre in June declared all of Nagaland a “disturbed area”.

The centre has declared disturbed the “whole state of Nagaland,” Satyendra Garg, joint secretary, northeast division in the ministry of home affairs, said in an order in June.

Ignoring the regional political tension, however, Rijiju remained resolute and insisted that all measures were being taken to prevent any misuse of AFSPA by security forces. He also said punitive measures were likely to be taken against the forces in case of violation of human rights or safety of women and children.

“AFSPA is reviewed periodically and an objective assessment of the ground situation is made in consultation with security agencies and the concerned state governments. Specific instructions have been issued to the armed forces operating in ‘disturbed area’, violation of which makes them liable for prosecution under the Army Act and Central Armed Police Forces Acts,” Rijiju added.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 3 (NPN): Nagaland Governor P.B. Acharya said the conventional degree acquired from various institutions were not making the students employable or entrepreneurs and that the government of India was emphasizing on establishing a stronger link between education and employment.

(2nd & 3rd from L) P.B. Acharya and Deo Nukhu. (NP)

Acharya said there was a need to ensure that the degree and certificates which a university issues should be directly linked to jobs and issues of livelihood.

He enquired whether

students were attending colleges and universities only to get degrees, whether one’s knowledge and empowerment was only for oneself and whether students had any responsibility towards

their college, village, family, friends, their state and nation.

He said degree was the beginning of a person’s empowered life and that the true meaning of education was beyond individualism, one which instils a sense of responsibility towards the society and creates wealth through knowledge.

He said infrastructures for an educational institution were important but the performance and conduct of the students and teachers and their contribution towards the academic and

No plans to declare Sadar Hills, Jiribam as districts, says Ibobi

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 23: Manipur government has no concrete decision to announce Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged revenue districts of the state, Manipur chief minister O Ibobi Singh said Wednesday.

He further said that state government will be compelled to use force to open the national highways if the Centre s in intervening saying that to mend the national highways is within the purview of the Central government.

The chief minister conveyed this while addressing a news conference held at his office chamber this evening at 5.30 pm to clarify on the charge levelled by the Manipur BJP on the ongoing UNC sponsored economic blockade on the national highways which has entered 23rd day on Wednesday.

A delegation of state BJP had called on with Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday and discussed on the prevailing

situation in Manipur after the UNC imposed economic blockade on the lifelines of Manipur people.

The BJP delegation quoted that Union home minister as saying that Union government has not received any concrete report on how it should intervene to address the issue of ongoing economic blockade imposed by United Naga Council (UNC).

Strongly denying the allegation, Ibobi said that he had personally met with the Union home minister Rajnath Singh at New Delhi on November 11 last after a telephonic talk on November 9 to discuss the issue.

“I held talk with Rajnathji for 45 minutes. I even submitted a written statement that highlights the hardships faced by the common man and state due to their (UNC) activity,” the chief minister said.

During the meeting, he had also given a clarification that no decisions will be taken on any matter which affects the interest of

any community without consulting all the stakeholders concerned, Ibobi said.

He further convinced the Union home minister asserting that UNC is an organization controlled

by NSCN (I-M), a group which is in ceasefire with government of India, the inter vention of MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) is very much needed to calloff the economic blockade immediately.

He even mentioned the seriousness of the current situation has there is a serious potential of an ethnic clash and major law and order problem due to scarcity of essential commodities, if the situation continues like this, the chief minister went on to assert.

After the matter was brought to Union home minister, RN Ravi, the interlocutor of the GoINSCN (I-M) peace-talk had even contacted him on November 11 last, the chief minister added.

After a patient hearing, Rajnath even assured

him to send a Central team to overlook the prevailing situation in the state.

Asserting that he was hard to believe if Rajnathji said so, the chief minister said that it’s baseless and double standard politics of BJP. Reiterating that state government has been trying its best to cope with the situation by even contacting the Prime Minister after the MHA was seen taking up nothing to open the national highways, the chief minister asked the BJP leaders not to play politics on the national highways.

“The two national highways (NH-37 and NH-2) are the lifeline of Manipur as all the traffic and goods move through these two national highways, it would be better for the BJP not to do politics with it,” the chief minister said.

Instead of doing such a politics which would hurt the sentiments of the people, do come out and press the Centre together to open the highways, Ibobi urged the state BJP leaders.

Itanagar, Nov 23 (PTI): Union Additional Secretary, Economic Affairs, M M Kutty today assured Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu that the shortage of money would improve in the next 10-15 days with the availability of more cash in all denominations.

“Due to liquidity crunch, there is serious shortage of money especially of small denomination notes. However, in 10-15 days the situation will improve as more money will be made available in all denominations,” the additional secretary told Khandu when he called on the CM to discuss the impact of demonetisation in the state.

Kutty urged the state gover nment to spread awareness on demonetisation, especially in remote areas of the state, an official communiqué said.

“Words must reach every individual to deposit their old notes by December 30 or they may exchange old notes at designated offices of the RBI by March 31 next,” he said.

As people have now started to visit banks in large number, Kutty advised the

state government to use the opportunity to open more banks and ATMs in the state, especially in sub-divisional level to bring more people under the banking coverage.

To spread awareness on demonetisation, the chief minister said that all deputy commissioners would be instructed to relay a 15-minute radio talk in every local dialect for 3-4 days.

Khandu also called for an outreach programme to be organised by the respective deputy commissioners.

Informing on the current situation in the state in the aftermath of demonetisation, Khandu said that despite the rush in banks and ATMs, there has been no law and order problems reported.

Informing on frauds likely to take place on account of tribal people being exempted from taxes, the chief minister expressed concern that people from outside the state could use their bank accounts to deposit money in huge amount.

He urged the Income Tax department to trace all such accounts that deviates from its normal account history and pattern.

Oil tanker catches fire in Imphal

Inferno razing an oil tanker parked at PCTC Oil pump in Imphal on Wednesday.

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 23: Apprehension of an explosion triggered panic after an oil tanker unloading fuel at a retail outlet on NH-2 (Imphal-Dimapur Road) in Imphal got engulfed in flames on Wednesday.

No human casualty reported by the fire that caught the PCTC Service Station even as a large number of customers were in queue to fill tanks of their vehicles.

The oil tanker and an auto-rickshaw waiting for turn to refill the fuel tank at the pump were completely damaged by the inferno.

The fire broke out

while the fuel from the oil-tanker was allegedly siphoning to a container before unloading to the underground tank of the retail outlet.

The incident took place around 11.40 am while the pump was distributing petrol and diesel to the public and the fire fighters took around 20 minutes to douse the fire, before spreading to the other structures of the oil pump.

The inferno at the retail outlet was occurred at a time while people were facing immense hardships including severe fuel scarcity owing to the economic blockade imposed on the

national highways of the state by the United Naga Council (UNC) and All Naga Student’s Association Manipur (ANSAM).

Manipur has been reeling under fuel crisis since the indefinite economic blockade commenced from November 1.

The ill-fated oil tanker was among several oil tankers escorted by the state security forces on the Imphal-Jiribam section of NH-37 few days back.

Traffic jam was witnessed on the NH-2 nearby the pump after the police who rushed to the spot blocked the traffic as precautionary measures.

ment said that the challenges will continue to confront its struggle in the immediate future so as to enable us to do a critical deliberation with all its nationalistic peoples.

It stated that ManipurIndia conflict was engendered by the forcible annexation of erstwhile sovereign independent Manipur in 1949. The passage of more than a century since colonialism reared its head in the history of mankind has done nothing to change this essence of colonial rule.

The only concession to time that diehard colonial masters have deigned to make lies in the extent to which some care was taken to disguise the contempt for the subjugated people.

“But even when such care is taken, the mask falls off when the chips are down,” it said and added

that even as India poses as the second largest democratic country in the world, and pretends as a defender of democracy and human rights in the region hoodwinking the eye of the international communities. India cannot hide its true skin as it shows its colonial legacy of suppressing the legitimate struggle of Kashmiri people and WESEA people as well, the statement said.

“With draconian laws like AFSPA in hand, the Indian military machine is violating basic human rights with impunity, taking the life of the innocent populations of these regions at their whim in a routine manner,” it added. In the recent months, the full scaled war-like repressive measures taken up by the Indian military to suppress the ever increasing voice of the inno-

cent Kashmiri peoples who were agitating against the Indian colonial occupation is a stark example of this.

In Manipur’s case, the promulgation and continuance for the last half a century and more of the Armed Forces (Assam and Manipur) Special Powers’ Act, 1958, which abrogates the inalienable right to life, was one such instance highlighting the contempt in which the Indian colonial rulers hold the people of Manipur. In contemporary times, this contempt for the subjugated peoples like the Manipuris and other Mongoloid peoples from Assam, Arunachal, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya and Tripura have given rise to a form of demeaning racial discrimination often culminating in physical assaults in mainland India.

Mizoram villages SBI recalibrates 2600 ATMs in NE NOV 23 ent locations, especially reel from scarcity GUWAHATI, (AGENCIES): As part of in major hospitals, nursof Rs 500 notes a series of moves to tide ing homes, market places A I Z AW L , N O V 2 3 (AGENCIES): Even as top bank officials try to allay fears of the common people, scarcity of lower denomination notes have plagued the capital and the rest of the state in the aftermath of the demonetization move.

Though queues at banks and ATM booths have shortened in Aizawl, the absence of the new Rs 500 note continues to create a problem.

Pradip Kumar Sen, Aizawl branch of SBI’s assistant general manager, said Rs 2,000 and Rs 100 notes arrived on Sunday and were expected to ease the problem. However, even Rs 100 notes were no longer available by the evening of Monday. “When new Rs 2,000 notes arrived, the acute cash shortage problem was eased to some extent, but the unavailability of corresponding Rs 500 and Rs 100 notes continued to create problems for both the consumers and businessmen,” said Lalhruaia, an Aizawl local. Those who withdraw cash from banks and ATMs can mostly withdraw Rs 2,000 notes, he said, adding that the need was more for Rs 500 and Rs 100 notes. Meanwhile, people in the Khawbung rural development block area, which borders Myanmar, have done away with the use of Indian rupee notes and have adopted rudimentary paper notes due to the cash shortage.

over the demonetization crisis, the State Bank of India, the country’s largest bank, has recalibrated 2,618 out of 2,845 ATMs in the northeast for dispensing Rs 2,000 notes, a statement issued by the bank of Tuesday said.

Most ATMs in the country were not calibrated for the new Rs 2,000 notes and could only dispense Rs 100 notes. The statement said a total of 2,653 ATMs are dispensing both Rs 100 and Rs 2,000 notes. In Guwahati, 301 ATMs are working and 288 have been recalibrated out of the total 318 ATMs. “SBI is continuing its outdoor drive of mobile cash van service throughout the northeast region, including Guwahati, to dispense cash in smaller denominations at differ-

and sabji mandis,” said a senior SBI official.

As many as 48 such vans have been pressed into service across the region, bank officials said.

The bank’s customer service points (CSPs) linked to their nearest SBI branches are also contributing in the mission of demonetization. Since November 10, a total of 1,156 CSPs in rural areas has contributed to serve 3,53,871 customers for cash transactions.

“A revolution was created in rural areas by using bank’s business correspondent channel,” the statement said.

SBI said there has been tremendous response and an increasing demand for Point of Sale (POS) machines throughout the northeast, especially in Guwahati city.

On the other hand, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan disallowed the adjournment motion notices by opposition parties for a debate on demonetisation, amid huge uproar from opposition benches. The pandemonium saw the house being adjourned for the day.

‘India, Pak have recalled 8 staffers each from missions’

Sushma Swaraj

NEW DELHI, Nov 23 (PTI): India and Pakistan have withdrawn eight officials each, including senior diplomats, from their missions in each other’s country following the expulsion of Pakistani high commission staffer, Mehboob Akhtar, over alleged spying.

In written reply to question in the Lok Sabha today, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said, on November 2, Pakistan government withdrew six high commission officials, whose names had reportedly appeared in media following the interrogation of Akhtar, who was accused

by Delhi police of running a spy ring.

Pakistan withdrew two more officials along with seven family members on November 16, she said.

Noting that on November 2, Pakistani media prominently carried names of eight Indian High Commission officials, alleging they were involved in “subversive and terrorist activities”, Swaraj said on November 3, at it weekly media briefing, Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs also officially released their names and designations.

“The litany of baseless charges against them was repeated,” she said.

In view of safety and security of these officials and their family members, all of them returned to India in three batches on November 8, 10 and 12, 2016, the minister said.

“The allegations against Indian officials represent an afterthought on the part of Government of Pakistan and constitute a crude attempt to tarnish the image of India.

“The manner in which their names and photographs were prominently published in Pakistani media along with baseless allegation reiterated without any corroboration by Pakistan ministry of foreign affairs is against the Vienna Convention and also violates the norms of established diplomatic practice and courtesies,” she added.

gana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) said they have not given adjournment notices.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the opposition is ready for a debate, and accused the government of not wanting to debate on the demonetisation issue. “Prime Minister says outside that few people are supporting black money… They do not want a discussion here,” he said.

Responding to Opposition protest, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said the nation is backing the demonetisation decision. “Let the discussion take place… people want the house to function and debate this issue. The whole nation is backing the Prime Minister

on this decision,” he said.

Meanwhile, in a show of strength, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, backed by JD-U, SP, NCP and AAP, today held a demonstration against demonetisation in the national capital and ramped up attack on Narendra Modi, alleging the country was not safe in his hands.

Addressing the gathering at Jantar Mantar, Banerjee alleged that abolition of high-value currency notes had heaped pain on people and snatched away democratic rights of almost every section of the society including farmers, youth, women, labourers and traders, besides halting the country’s economic growth.

LS proceedings washed out again NEW DELHI, Nov 23 (PTI): Lok Sabha witnessed a virtual washout for the fifth consecutive day today as government and opposition parties continued to clash over the demonetisation issue and the rule under which a debate should take place on it, with the former ruling out any provision of voting in the discussion.

Opposition members, including those from Congress, TMC, RJD, CPI(M) and BJD, besides SAD and Shiv Sena, both part of the ruling NDA, expressed their views in the House when it assembled at noon after one adjournment, with the Sena changing its stance on demonetisation and sparing the government of embarrassment by praising the move and supporting its stand that the debate be held under Rule 193, which does not entail voting.

Sena had been critical of the demonetisation move and its members even joined a TMC-led protest march to the President last week, but softened their stand after a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday.

The House saw continued protests by Opposition members soon after it assembled for the day, with Congress and TMC MPs trooping into the Well, forcing its adjournment first till noon and later for the day.

Speaking soon after the House was reconvened at noon, Mallikar jun Kharge (Cong) said they were ready for a discussion under Rule 56, which entails voting.

India blitzes Pakistani LoC posts with mortar NEW DELHI, Nov 23 (Agencies): The Army today carried out a massive counter assault using heavy mortar fire on Pakistani posts along the Line of Control, making good its promise of “heavy retribution” for the beheading of an Indian soldier+ yesterday.

Even as Pakistan continued to violate the ceasefire, the armed forces launched crippling attacks on Pakistani posts in Poonch, Rajouri, Kel and Machil sectors. Pakistan today committed ceasefire violations in Bhimber Gali, Krishna Ghati and Nowshera sectors of Kashmir, ANI reported.

Money chain

ith scores of organisations ventilating their respective grievances and some issuing ultimatums, the state government finds itself in an unenviable situation as the protests or agitations could not have come at a worse time when it is faced with the implications of these demands on the financial and administrative aspects.

The common denominator for all these problems or grievances is money which used to be for the asking in the better years. With monumental corruption within the government having overtaken the slow process of development; the imbalance in “share of progress/loot” has cemented the ground for very difficult days ahead. Politicians in power including bureaucrats had often stated that Nagaland is a welfare state. This means the government’s main purpose was to provide almost everything from employment, services, funding and promoting even business activities etc. This largely held perception of what a government is; has probably shaped the mould over which good governance, which is vital for democracy, has grown during the decades. A welfare state has also justified if not made it compulsory for an oversized government which has overgrown to unmanageable levels where 65% of expenditure goes as payment of salaries etc to 1,40, 000 government employees. Nagaland has the highest number of government employees among all states in the north east region which is approximately around 7% of the state’s total population of 19,80,602. The bifurcation of several departments during the past decades has created this huge army of employees. In addition, populism has justified the creation of many administrative centres throughout the state but their performance has certainly not justified the justification. Even in the seat of the government in the state capital, by mid-November, office attendance become thinner than the usual thin attendance and which practically comes to freezing point by December to January.

The army of employees have too little work to do and hardly sit in office for more than two to three hours. Despite all this, backdoor appointments are still rampant and more money will have to be spent and thus, depriving the public of development projects. The state’s policy makers need to grapple with the problem of too many doing too little but consuming too much money. In general, there are too many government departments some of which have hardly much to do when in fact, their staff do hardly anything. The government faces a very huge deficit of around Rs.1400 crore and the time is now going to be over for recovery. However, those in the government are hardly bothered what happens to the so-called system and more about fattening their pockets because people demand money and nothing more. It is money that has become the main objective of those within and outside the government (with due apologies to those who serve the government faithfully).There is a serious and urgent need to correct the drift that has led Nagaland adrift and placed in a precarious situation. There can be no forward movement in the absence of work culture and professionalism. People blame the government and the politicians and so long this thought dominates then there is no hope for a change and the corrupt will continue to hold the economy and the future under a vice grip.

DailyDevotion The Distraction of Contempt Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. —Psalm 123:3 What we must beware of is not damage to our belief in God but damage to our Christian disposition or state of mind. “Take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously” (Malachi 2:16). Our state of mind is powerful in its effects. It can be the enemy that penetrates right into our soul and distracts our mind from God. There are certain attitudes we should never dare to indulge. If we do, we will find they have distracted us from faith in God. Until we get back into a quiet mood before Him, our faith is of no value, and our confidence in the flesh and in human ingenuity is what rules our lives.

Beware of “the cares of this world…” (Mark 4:19).

They are the very things that produce the wrong attitudes in our soul. It is incredible what enormous power there is in simple things to distract our attention away from God. Refuse to be swamped by “the cares of this world.”

Another thing that distracts us is our passion for vindication. St. Augustine prayed, “O Lord, deliver me from this lust of always vindicating myself.” Such a need for constant vindication destroys our soul’s faith in God. Don’t say, “I must explain myself,” or, “I must get people to understand.” Our Lord never explained anything— He left the misunderstandings or misconceptions of others to correct themselves.

When we discern that other people are not growing spiritually and allow that discernment to turn to criticism, we block our fellowship with God. God never gives us discernment so that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.

Post-mortem Naga Hoho clarifies stand on Rongmei recognition issue

T

here has been much agitated debate amongst different sections of Naga society over the granting of Indigenous Naga Tribe status to 1313 members of Rongmei community in Nagaland by state Government in 2012.

Alleging that this decision was taken by the government following a recommendation from the Naga Hoho way back in 2008, three major tribes - Ao Senden, Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho which comprises the CNTC officially dissociated from Naga Hoho since 31st August 2016.

Subsequently, the Naga Hoho had clarified time and again through mass media denying that it had only urged the state government for recognition of members of Rongmei community who had settled in Nagaland before 1st December 1963 as “Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland” as enjoyed by Garos, Kukis and Kacharis in line with Government Notification No.AR-8/76 Dated, the 28th April, 1977.

We have also noted

A

CNTC’s clarification on Rongmei issue which appeared in all leading dailies of the state on 15/16 October 2016, over the “subject” matter of its letter to the Govt. of Nagaland.

It is a matter of general knowledge that for any official letter, a subject is used which the author of the letter chooses to highlight the content(s) of the letter. As a common practice, any respondent to the same letter uses the same subject for ready reference. In the present case, the state govt. letter No. GAB-10/1/77(Pt) dated 25.07.2008 addressed to the Naga Hoho carried the subject – “Representation

by Rongmei Community, Nagaland for granting of status of Indigenous Naga Tribe to Rongmei Community settled in Nagaland”.

Resorting to the general practice, Naga Hoho’s letter No. NH/Corr/2008-11 dated 22.09.2008 written in response to the state govt’s letter mentioned above used the same subject, though slightly truncated by removing the phrase “Representa-

tion by Rongmei Community, Nagaland” in order to make it known that the letter is in response to the issue raised by the state govt.

However, the body of the letter amply expresses the view of the Naga Hoho, the main points mentioned being that – a) The Naga Hoho supports the desire of the state govt. which is that of granting Indigenous Inhabitant of Nagaland to Rongmei Community. This argument is supported by the fact that till the time of exchange of these letters, all the prevailing state govt. notifications/orders rendered the Rongmei Community members settled before the formation of Nagaland state in December 1963, eligible for Indigenous Inhabitants only and not Indigenous Naga Tribe. That being the stated state govt. policy, granting of Indigenous Inhabitant status to the above mentioned category of Rongmei Community was without doubt assumed

by Naga Hoho to be the desire of the state govt.; b) to support its opinion further, Naga Hoho in the same let-

The uniform civil code

look at the QUESTIONAIRS ON UNIFORM CIVIL CODE, the Law Commission of India issued to all the States on 7 Oct. 2016 giving a time limit up of 45 days up to 22 Nov. 2016, for the answer, touches a most important Aspect of the life of the Citizens -the Practices of Marriage in India- and the formulation of a UNIFORM CIVIL CODE for the Practices.

It is a fact that a progressive developing Society needs Law, Order, Civilized, Sensible Systems that governs the People and the Society. Of the Systems, one of the most important is the System of Marriage Practices.

A civilized, orderly and progressive Society needs a laid down Regulations on its important practice of Marriage and not leave it to the whims and desires of the Individual.

An Individual from a monogamous Society may adopt polygamy just to have one more desirable woman for his wife and have progenies who may claim advantage of one or the other Practices to his advantage in claiming the Inheritance of the ancestral Property.

Or an Individual may convert from one Religious Practive to another in order to satisfy his Agenda of personal gain or to eliminate his or her Espouse.

For an orderly, progressive and peaceful Equality of the people in the Society, a codified practice is welcome.

But most marriage Practices involve one or more precepts of a Religion. The practice may simply be a Social Contract or Agreement between a Man and a Woman today. And the uncontrallable progress of civilization today is sometimes producing the Union of Man and Woman just for the hack of it with bursonsome consequences to their Society.

Considering all these, codified Marriage Practices are welcome in a developing Society. Already separate codified Hindu, Muslim, Christian and other Religious Marriage Practices are in existence in the State of India.

And it may be necessary to put the existing Personal laws and customary Practices separately in a Civil Code of each Religious Community rather than in One Uniform Code for the whole Country.

India is of Multi-Culture, Multi-Religion big Country and composed of Diverse Peoples in different levels of Progress, Education, Economy and Awareness of the World today that even the Constitution provides different priviledges, conscesions and rights to different Communities. Kashmere and Nagaland, each has Special and

even peculiar Constitutional Provisions. A UNIFORM CIVIL CODE may not satisfy the needs of a multiferous population like in India, it may even raise more difficulties and burdens to the State than a smooth Sail.

Any person in the Country can express his views and here are my personal views in Italics: QUOTIONAIRS ON UNIFORM CIVIL CODE. 1. Are you aware that Article 44 of the Constitution of India provides that “the State shall endeavour to sec ure for the citizens a Uniform Civil Code throughout the territory of India”? a. Yes, Because of the words in Quotation at 1. b. No..x.. .

In your view, does this matter require any further initiatives? It Still require extensive and deeper community-specific Enquiries than 16 Question can prove.

2. The various religious denominations are governed by persoanl laws and custormary practices in India on matters of family law, should the UCC include all or some of these subjects? i. Marriage, ii. Divorce, iii. Adoption, iv. Guardishship, v. Maintenance, vi. Successions and vii. Inheritance. a. Yes, it should include all these. b. No, it should exclude.x, c. It should further inclue Livein and same sex marriage.

3. Do you agree that the existing personal laws and customary practices need codification and would benefit the people? a. Yes, but by its own community for its own community and not in a Uniform Civil Code, b. No. x, c. No one uniform code for all religious communities, d. Personal laws and customary practices should be replaced by a uiform code, Personal laws & customary practices contraverting Universal Fundamental Human Rights to be reformed, and addressed to the specific Religion or Community but not in a Uniform Code.

4. Will uniform civil code or codification of personal law and customary practices ensure gender equality? b. No. Doubtful.

5. Should the uniform civil code be optional? No. No uniform civil code.

6. Should the following practices be banned and regulated? a. Polygamy. already banned for most Government Employees, should be strongly regulated, b. Polyandry. legally should strongly be regulated, c. similar customary practices such as Maitri-karaar (friendship deed) at al, should be legally regulated.

7. Should the practice of triple Talaq be a. abolished in toto. If it contravers Fundamen-

ter justified it by citing the examples of Kukis, Garos and Kacharis who were enjoying the privilege of Indigenous Inhabitants of the state in accordance with the state govt. Notification No. AR-8/76 dated 28.04.1977 which describes the eligibility criteria for consideration of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland. There might have confusion with different interpretation over the subject matter among the people and therefore Naga Hoho has laid bare in the public domain its position which was reiterated time and again through mass media and other platforms.

As our clarifications could not convince the three tribal Hohos, a delegation of Naga Hoho met the Chief Minister of Nagaland on 14th October, 2016 and submitted a Memorandum requesting the government to re-examine the decision of the state government of granting Indigenous Naga Tribe status to Rongmei community and find out a solution in consultation with all the stakeholders/ Tribal Hohos. The full text

tal Rights. Retain the Custom.

No. c. Retained with amendments. If it does not contravers Fundamental Rights.

8. Do you think that steps should be taken to ensure that Hindu women are better able to exercise their right to property, which is often bequeathed to sons under customary practices? a. Person who bequeaths should decide and judiciary investigation if foregoted.

9. Do you agree that the two-year period of wait for finalizing divorce violates Christian Women’s right to equality? a. separation with no time limit to mutual and peaceful separation with provision of financial support to the Wife till whoever marries first is Ex-communicated from the Church freeing the other to marry.

10. Do you fee that there shoul be a uniform age of consent for marriage across all personal Laws and customary practices? a. Yes. 16 for Girls and 18 for Boys, b. Customary laws should not interfer on this, c. the ‘voidable’ marriage system holds good.

11. Do you agree that all the religious denominations should have the common ground for divorce? Partly answered at 9, same ground for divorce should be available to both the man and the woman.

12. would uniform civil code aid in addressing the problem of denial of maintenance or insufficient maintenance to woman upon divorce? a. the Indian Divorce Act in existance today should be reformed enough for the Court for grant of reasonably enough financial maintenance.

13. How can compulsory registration of marriages be implemented better? By bi-annual Notice in the Notice Boards of Village Councils, District Collectors Notice Board, Transport Tickets, and in Permanent Stone Addicts or Mile Stones in the the City Centres.

14. what measures should we take to protect couples who enter into Inter-religion and inter-caste marriage?

They must enter into Terms of the Marriage registered in the Court of law.

15. Would uniform civil code infringe an individual’s right to freedom of Religion. a. Yes. Any restriction done outside a person’s Religion may infringe on the freedom of Religion.

Reason: 1. The food in one Religion may be taboo in another Religion.

2. One Religion’s sacred date may be a working day for another.

Thepfulhouvi Solo. I F S Ret.(RR -68), Principal Secretary, Retd., Nagaland

of this Memorandum was released to the local dailies and subsequently published.

Keeping all this in mind, Naga Hoho has appealed twice to the dissociated Tribe Hoho’s to review their decision considering the validity of justification on the question of Rongmei community. Unfortunately, we could not get any positive reply till date.

In the meantime, the Naga Hoho Empowered Committee on Goodwill Mission submitted its proposal on 18th November, 2016 to the Executive Council requesting to “withdraw the expressed views and opinions of the Naga Hoho to the Government of Nagaland on the issue of granting status of Indigenous Naga Inhabitant to Rongmei community” in order to strengthen the unity and fraternity of Naga Hoho.

In this backdrop, the Presidential Council of the Naga Hoho held a joint meeting with the Empowered Committee on Goodwill Mission on 21st November, 2016. At this meeting, the members unanimously

resolved to withdraw the letter written by Naga Hoho Vide No. NH/Corr/2008-11 dated-22nd September, 2008 as demanded by the three tribes – Ao Senden, Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho under the banner of CNTC. With this withdrawal, the views and opinion which was shared with state Government through its above mentioned letter is rendered null and void. This step is taken with a view to strengthening the bond of relationship among different Naga tribes and to foster unity and fraternity as one Naga family.

It is the earnest belief of Naga Hoho that since the bone of contention is removed, the three Tribal Hohos will now join hands with the Naga Hoho and work proactively as constituent Tribal Hohos of Naga Hoho towards furthering the interest of the Naga people as they have been doing in the past.

Reservations and our women

(From previous issue) The WR Bill simply does not address the root causes of gender disparity in India – prejudicial attitudes, women being confined to a narrow set of social roles and economic backwardness. It may help break the glass ceiling as far as becoming an urban local body member, MP or MLA is concerned but it does not address the attitudes that sustain the glass ceiling. It is bound to be ineffective. We need a broadbased anti-discrimination bill. This will take care of all excuses those politicians’ harps for increasingly impractical reservations.One feels, however, that when one talks about reservation for women whether for or against one does so in the context of urban or at best semiurban scenario only. Considering the condition of the rural women a policy like reservation, ad hoc as it is in our state, will not have much of an impact. Naturally, before taking, such a tough measure the government will have to acquire courage of conviction or a moral courage to create a condition where going against the age old Naga cultural traditions and will solve our society’s mess.

It may create a new kind of hatred between genders as males may feel deprived of certain privileges, which in turn may create more social issues. First, let’s not go about it in a democratic manner and not try to shove the existing reservation scheme down everyone’s throat.

Second, women will be ghettoised and forced to fight elections only against other women. This will deny them the legitimacy of being mainstream politicians. Third, as male legislators will be forced to surrender their seats for a term to women, those who have worked to nurture their constituencies will likely insist that the seat be given to a woman from their family.

The women’s Reservation Bill has been a political raw nerve for nearly a decade now. It has always

triggered heated debates in Parliament and .Another issue will be for the political parties, which will be forced to find women whether or not the women identify with the overall party agenda and the rest of the issues concerning all citizens, as opposed to just women’s issues.

There are no provisions to prevent discrimination against men because of finding women who are inclined towards women’s issues alone, or, in other words, biased against men.

Further, powerful male members of parties will be tempted to find female relatives to ‘reserve’ the seat for themselves. So, it is feared that reservation would only help women of the elitist groups to gain seats, therefore causing further discrimination and under-representation to the poor and backward classes.

The status of women in a society cannot be secured by her political or economic power alone as is generally supposed. It depends on culture also and most important our attitude.Nothing will change much as our foundation remains shifting sands. And yet we all want to climb to the top when the very edifice and the pillars of our homes and society are crumbling right away in front of our eyes. The entire societal structure is being corroded with bankruptcy of trust, jealousies, isms and anomalies of short term glories. In this type, women will remain as mere pawn even if allotted with the reservation. Naga society today firstly needs to straighten our homes and families. If we straighten our homes and families then our neighborhoods will be become right.

Then so will follow our communities and the society as a whole. Only then our land will become right. But trying to fix and set it right from a reverse mode will only backfire and jeopardize us more in this already gigantic disarray and mess we are in today.

Sir,

Kudos to honourable Governor of Nagaland

Fellow Naga brethren, I believe you would all agree with me that our Governor has out-past his predecessors regarding his commitment to uplift all the Nagas regardless of rich and poor, but being only the Constitutional head of the state. Our past Governors have too done a tremendous job for us the Nagas but only as a middle man between New Delhi and Nagaland.

Whereas our present Governor has every reason to be praised, he has voices in every sphere regarding dirty games, plight of the down trodden, lack of infrastructure and most of all he didn’t even spare the politicians for their dirty games (corruption) besides visiting remote areas, if the present Governor had been here as governor 10-20 years ago, Nagaland would have been at par with the other developed states.

Lastly, Honoured Sir I would like to request you to visit my hometown, Tening Town (Peren District) one of the oldest town and most neglected town. Last but not the least, keep up the good work and I pray may you live long.

AIBEA reiterates demand for RBI Governor’s resignation

RBI Governor Urjit Patel

NEW DELHI, NOV 23 (Agencies): Holding RBI Governor Urjit Patel responsible for ineffective handling of the crisis post the demonetisation drive, All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) vicepresident Vishwas Utagi on Wednesday said that bank unions are adamant on their demand for the former’s resignations as well as lockdown of the apex bank.

Questioning the failure of the RBI as the regulatory system, Utagi said that Patel, who hasn’t uttered a word till now, should resign with immediate effect.

“Since two weeks, the bank employees are working from eight in the morning till midnight including weekends.

Still, there are truckloads of work to do. There has been absolutely no co-

operation from the RBI’s side,” Utagi told ANI. “It added to the mess by banning cooperative banks from exchanging old notes or accepting deposits,” he added.

Citing the present situation as a clear mess, Utagi further said that there have been in total ten lakh employees at various banks who are working in and out in a situation where there are inadequate cash counting machines, fake notes detection machines and manpower security personnel.

The All India Bank Employees Association vice-president’s assertion come as a united opposition is cornering the government in Parliament and demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi to explain the rationale behind imposing such a decision

NEW DELHI, Nov 23 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed its disappointment over the Centre for not appointing Lokpal despite Parliament enacting a law in this regard in January 2014. While the Centre said that the amendment bill is pending in Parliament to include the leader of largest opposition party, a bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said that Parliament, by not amending the law, cannot frustrate the mandate for appointment of Lokpal.

The bench, also comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and L Nageswara Rao, asked Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi as to why the court can’t pass an order to include the leader of largest opposition party in the selection committee.

The bench posted the matter for further hearing on December 7 when the AG would come back with instructions. Rohtagi told the bench that any order by the court in the present situation would amount to judicial legislation.

Senior advocate Shanti Bhushan appearing for an NGO, Common Cause, said that the Lokpal Bill has been passed after a long struggle and alleged that the government is not

The letter, which is third in a series of clarifications issued by Mistry’s office, also blamed Ratan Tata’s “ego” for bad business decisions, including the buyout of British steelmaker Corus at a high cost and also sticking to the CDMA technology for its telecom business imperiling thousands of jobs.

A section of the letter headlined ‘One man’s ego versus an institution’ claimed that Tata’s ego resulted in the Corus deal for USD 12 billion--twice the cost of what it was available for one year before-- despite opposition from some board members and senior executives.

“The overpayment for Corus made it harder to invest in it, which had been neglected, and thereby, placed many jobs at risk,” the letter from Mistry’s office said.

ing Cyrus Mistry’s controversial dismissal from the group on October 24, had once tried to sell the group’s crown jewel TCS to global giant IBM. Without giving the timelines, the letter claimed the then chief FC Kohli’s illness had prevented JRD Tata from going ahead with Ratan Tata’s proposal.

“Ratan Tata was then heading Tata Industries’ joint venture with IBM and had approached JRD Tata with a proposal from IBM to buyout TCS. JRD refused to discuss the deal because Kohli was still recovering in the hospital,” it said.

However, Kohli, considered the doyen of the domestic software industry, flatly refused the proposal saying “TCS has a bright future and the group should not sell the company”.

“JRD turned down the offer, demonstrating true vision.

But it was also a neardeath experience for TCS at the hands of Ratan Tata,” the letter claimed.

Mumbai, Nov 23 (PTI): Hitting back at Tatas, ousted Chairman Cyrus Mistry on Tuesday rejected charges of not contributing anything to the group’s cash-cows TCS and JLR and alleged that patriarch Ratan Tata once tried to sell the IT firm to IBM and his “ego” led to bad business decisions like Corus acquisition at double the original cost.

“It is important to set the record straight since insinuations and leaks are being made explicitly to create an illusion that Mistry was a ‘hands off ’ chairman and TCS/JLR were on ‘auto-pilot’ during his leadership,” Cyrus Mistry’s office said in a five-page letter today.

Listing out details of the efforts undertaken by him as the non-executive chairman at both the companies, which contribute a whopping 90 per cent of the group profit, the letter said the salt-to-software conglomerate is “busy apportioning credit” for the stellar performances.

The government has earlier said black money deposited in bank accounts during the 50-day period will be subject to tax, interest and 200 percent penalty.

It asked people not to be lured into conversion of black money and become a partner in the crime of converting black money into white through this method.

It also asked people to provide information of such illegal activities to the I-T department so that immediate action can be taken and such illegal transfer of cash can be stopped and seized.

The government had earlier said deposits up to Rs 2.50 lakh in bank accounts would not come under tax scrutiny as it is within the tax exemption limit. In the case of Jan Dhan account, the holder can deposit up to Rs 50,000.

However, the income tax department has noted that people are under impression that no action will be taken for deposits up to Rs 2.50 lakh during November 9-December 30.

The ministry said “such tax evasion activities can be made subject to income tax and penalty if it is established that the amount deposited in the account was not of the account holder but of somebody else. Also,

New Delhi, Nov 23 (IANS): The Finance Ministry on Wednesday said that of the 2 lakh ATMs in the country, 82,000 have already been recalibrated and people can withdraw the new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes from these.

Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said it was only a matter of few days that the recalibration of all ATMs across the country would be completed.

“Out of two lakh odd ATM machines, more than 82,000 recalibrated, it’s now only a matter of few days,” Das said in a tweet.

T h e g ove r n m e n t ’s demonetisation move announced on November 8 midnight has resulted in serpentine queues outside bank branches as the ATMs were still not recalibrated for withdrawal of the newly printed Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes.

Das assured that the printing presses were working around the clock to meet the liquidity demands of the markets.

As per reports most of these deposits have been made in West Bengal followed by Karnataka.

The Cambodian trial chamber’s first verdict and sentence in 2010 was life in jail for Kaing Guek Eav, alias “Duch”, head of the notorious Tuol Sleng prison, where as many as 14,000 people were tortured and executed.

Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan were both in court to hear the ruling. The two face separate charges of genocide in a second phase of the complex, ongoing trial.

There were initially four defendants. Former Foreign Minister Ieng Sary died in 2012. His wife, Ieng Thirith, a former minister, died in 2015.

The Cambodian government also welcomed the court judgment.

“We express our hope that this trial and today’s delivery of the final judgment brings some relief for your pain and suffering,” Deputy Prime Minister Sok An said, addressing survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime.

A L E P P O, NO V 2 3 (Agencies): Syrian progovernment forces pushed deeper into rebel-held eastern Aleppo, forcing civilians to flee as the regime pressed an assault to recapture the entire city.

Re c a p t u r i n g e a s t Aleppo would be the government’s biggest victory yet in Syria’s five-year conflict and deal a potentially decisive blow to the opposition. The city was once the country’s economic powerhouse, but it has been ravaged by the war that has killed 3,00,000 people since it began with anti-government protests in March 2011.

Military aircraft dropped leaflets over east Aleppo, urging rebels to distribute food to civilians, leave the area and allow residents to do so too.

Government forces pounded the area with air strikes and barrel bombs as ground troops advanced in the key eastern district of Masaken Hanano, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

A week into the latest round of fighting for the city, the regime controls around a third of the district, the Observatory said.

The area has been shelled heavily during the war, and many residents had already fled, but the latest fighting prompted even the last holdouts to leave. Milad Shahabi, a member of the local council, told AFP that residents were fleeing to southern parts of the oppositioncontrolled east.

Masaken Hanano was the first Aleppo district to fall to rebels in 2012, and it is strategically vital.

Colombia, FARC to sign new peace accord Thursday

Peace activists starting a trek from Cali in a bid to call for a swift resolution to stalled peace agreement.

B OGO T A , NOV 2 3 (Agencies): Colombia’s government and FARC guerrillas will sign a new peace accord Thursday, after a previous agreement to end their half-centuryold war was defeated in a referendum, both parties said.

The new, revised accord will be submitted to Congress for approval, rather than put to another referendum, they added.

Last month voters taking part in that referendum surprisingly snubbed the first accord. Critics said it went too easy on the rebels, who have been waging what is now Latin America’s last major insurgency.

“The government and FARC delegations have agreed to sign the final agreement to end the conflict and build a stable and lasting peace,” negotiators from both sides said in a statement Tuesday.

The new accord was first announced on November 12. The signing will take place at 11:00 am

The accord will later be submitted to Congress for its approval, the two sides said. “We are working out the procedures necessary for this,” they said.

The government holds a majority in the legislature. President Juan Manuel Santos insists the new proposal is stronger and

takes into account changes demanded by his political opponents.

However his chief rival, ex-president Alvaro Uribe, has rejected even the revised deal.

Uribe has insisted, for instance, that FARC leaders should not be allowed to run for office while still serving sentences for atrocities.

Brad Pitt cleared by FBI Top ten biggest film flops of 2016 revealed T M ovie star Brad Pitt will not face any charges stemming from an incident on a private plane in which he was reported to have lost his temper in front of one or more of his children, an FBI spokeswoman said on Tuesday. Pitt, 52, earlier this month was cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services for the incident on Sept 14. His wife, the actress

he biggest film flops of the year have been revealed.

Forbes has unveiled its ‘Hollywood’s Biggest Turkeys’ list for 2016, which looks at the least successful movies to be released in the past twelve months, comparing production budgets to box office takings.

The number one biggest flop is listed as sci-fi film Max Steel, directed

by Stewart Hendler and

Angelina Jolie, filed for divorce five days later.

“In response to allegations made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation,” said Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Los Angeles field office.

starring Ben Winchell. The movie was made for $10 million (£8m) but only took in $4.4m (£3.5m).

The top five also includes Matthew McConaughey’s American civil war film Free State of Jones, Lonely Island movie Popstar: Never Stop Stopping , Jane Austen comedy-horror adaptation Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and animated movie Ratchet & Clank, based on the video

game series of the same name. Also in the top ten are Sacha Baron Cohen’s Grimsby (known as The Brothers Grimsby in the US) and Oliver Stone’s Edward Snowden biopic. Snowden was made for $40m (£32m) but only recouped $34.3m (£27m). Forbes say that “not all movies flopped because they were bad films” and that “movies underperform for a number of reasons, be it marketing, release date

timing, poor reviews or a combination of several factors.”

Asked about his decision to leave DT in 2010 while he was on tour with Avenged Sevenfold, Portnoy said: “I needed to do what I did because I couldn’t have lived with myself wondering, ‘Well, what if ?’ I didn’t wanna wonder what could have happened because I was too scared to take that leap of faith. So I had to [do it].

And believe me, everyone was shocked and hurt, but nobody was more hurt than me. That was the hardest thing I’d ever done, but it was 25 years of blood, sweat and tears, 24-7, I lived and breathed every moment of my 25 years for that band and the fans. But I needed to explore other things in my life in order to be happy and fulfilled.”

Spain prosecutors call for two-year jail for Neymar

Neymar

M A D R I D, N o v 2 3 (Agencies): Spanish prosecutors recommended that Brazilian star Neymar be handed a two-year jail sentence and a fine of 10 million euros ($10.6 million) for alleged corrupt practices in his transfer to Barcelona, a court filing revealed on Wednesday.

Prosecutors are also seeking a five-year sentence for former Barcelona presi-

dent Sandro Rosell -- who resigned over the scandal in 2014 -- on counts of fraud and corruption, but dropped charges against current president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

The case initiated with a complaint from Brazilian investment company DIS, which owned 40 percent of Neymar’s sporting rights at the time of his transfer from Santos in 2013.

In presenting their case on Wednesday, DIS called for five-year sentences for Neymar and his parents, eight years for Rosell and Bartomeu and a mammoth 195 million euro fine for Barca.

Sentences of two years or less are habitually suspended for first time offenders in Spain.

However, DIS also recommended that Neymar be banned from playing

football during any judicial sentence. Barcelona initially announced the cost of the move at 57.1 million euros, 17.1 million of which was paid to Santos with the remaining 40 million paid to N&N, a company owned by Neymar’s family.

However, Spanish authorities believe the real cost escalated to 83.3 million.

DIS received 6.8 million euros, 40 percent of the fee paid to Santos.

The company believes it was cheated of its real share because part of the transfer fee was concealed

by Barcelona, Santos and the Neymar family.

Moreover, DIS also argued a pre-contract agreement between Neymar and Barca signed in 2011 impeded other clubs from making offers for the player, affecting the value of the transfer fee.

MDCA to host exhibition cricket matches

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 3 (NPN): Mokokchung District Cricket Association (MDCA) as part of its Silver Jubilee celebrations would be organizing a district-wide cricket promotional and exhibition campaign from November 26 onward.

There are reports of former national champions Dempo, who won the second division title earlier this year, also mulling a pull-out.

Kushal Das said, “It’s

truly heartening to see these three clubs, that too from different states across the nation, showing their enthusiasm to play in the Hero I-League. This actually highlights that we’re heading towards a bright future of Indian Football, involving every nook and corner of the country.”

Referring to the decision of Sporting Clube de Goa to officially pull out from the next I-League, Das called it “very unfortunate and sad”. “Sporting Clube de Goa have

The decision was taken after the AIFF’s bids evaluation committee met New Delhi on Wednesday.

Former top 10 players Tommy Robredo (Spain) and Mikhail Youzhny (Russia) will also be returning to India, the former after 12 years and

the latter after two years, threatening to give the top seeds a run for their money.

Robredo, who had gone as high as World No.5 in 2006, has won 10 Association of Tennis Professional (ATP) singles titles and starred in Spain’s Davis Cup winning teams thrice.

The first and only time he played in Chennai in 2004, he teamed up with 14time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal to win the doubles title. He is currently ranked No.57. “This is an impressive lineup,” Chennai Open’s Tournament Director Tom Annear said in a release.

“Tennis fans in India can expect high quality tennis this year.” India’s campaign will be headed by local hero and wild card entrant Ramkumar Ramanathan.

New Delhi, Nov 23 (PTI): The Indian Cricket Board’s relations with the ICC, headed by Shashank Manohar, hit a new low after Indian women’s cricket team was docked six points for not playing against Pakistan between August 1 to October 31 as per ICC Women’s Championship.

There are possibilities that men’s team might not play Champions Trophy in protest against the women cricketers being made “soft targets” in the name of rules and regulations.

A furious BCCI has lodged a protest with the global body who are well aware that any bilateral series against Pakistan needs government permission under current political scenario, which ICC’s Indian chairman is well aware.

BCCI furious as ICC docks eves for not playing Pak ing Pakistan. The chairman is well aware that we need government permission,” a furious senior BCCI official told PTI today.

“This is a move with ulterior motive trying to play into the hands of Pakistan. They would say if women can play so can men. But that won’t happen. If ICC does not backtrack, the men’s team in solidarity with our women’s team won’t play in Champions Trophy,” he added.

An ICC release today stated: “Following consideration of written submissions from both PCB and BCCI, the ICC Technical Committee has ruled that the India Women’s team is deemed to have forfeited each of the three matches it was due to play against Pakistan in Round 6 of the ICC Women’s hampionship, and that the associated points should be

Leicester, Real in last 16; Spurs out of Champions League PARIS, Nov 23 (Agencies): Leicester kept their Champions League dreams aflame, cruising into the last 16 with a 2-1 win over Belgium’s Club Brugge, where they were joined by Real Madrid - but not a crestfallen Tottenham.

Joining the hopeful debutants and the holders on the night were Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco. They join last year’s runners-up Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Paris SaintGermain, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, who had already booked their tickets to the knockout phase with two group games to spare.

Leicester’s success saw the Foxes advance as Group G winners in their maiden season in the event, giving a major fillip to Claudio Ranieri’s side, who are just two points above the domestic drop zone.

awarded to Pakistan.

“The matches, which were due to be played between August 1 & October 31, 2016, were not formally scheduled and did not ultimately take place, and the Technical Committee has ruled that Pakistan will be awarded two points for each of the three games and, in accordance with the ICC Women’s Championship playing conditions, India shall be considered to have scored 0 runs in each of the 50 overs in each of the three matches and that its net run rate shall be adjusted accordingly.”

The Technical Com-

mittee said while it was sensitive to the current state of relations between the nations of India and Pakistan, but concluded that the BCCI had not been able to establish ‘acceptable reasons’ for not participating in the series.

The ICC’s relationship with BCCI has soured on a number of issues since Shashank Manohar became independent chairman. From changes proposed in revenue sharing to not having India in the working group, Manohar’s stance has been perceived by many as antiIndia despite BCCI members having full faith in his leadership.

India eves beat Hockeyroos 1-0 in first hockey Test N EW D ELHI , N OV 23 (Agencies): The Indian women’s hockey team, ranked 12th in the world, began their tour of Australia by beating the fourth-ranked Hockeyroos 1-0 in the first of three Test matches in Melbourne on Wednesday.

The win was their first over Australia and set up by a second-quarter goal by captain Rani Rampal.

A special mention is also reserved for India’s goalkeeper Rajani Etimmarpu, whose smart footwork added to the Hockeyroos’ frustration on a day that should rank highly for Indian women’s hockey.

Neither side was able to score during the first quarter as the defenders on both ends were kept busy, but a penalty corner

by Rani in the 21st minute gave India the lead.

T h e I n d i a n e ve s pushed the Hockeyroos hard down the front line and even when the hosts

had possession it was the Indians who surged forward and kept engaging in defensive tackles to blind the Hockeyroos’ attack.

The aggression was maintained across the third and fourth quarters too, but too many turnovers by the Hockeyroos helped India’s cause.

India’s midfielders managed to keep getting Rani and Deepika Thakur into play and the skipper, in particular, attacked the corners.

This sustained pressure meant that the Hockeyroos often struggled to break past India’s defensive pack.

The latter half of the third quarter saw the Australians get tighter and more cohesive, but the deficit was still not overturned. Vandana Kataria came close to the goal at the end of the third quarter but missed from the left side, and then the Hockeyroos failed to use three PCs in the last 32 seconds.
