Reactions to Senden’s ‘quit notice’ Chuchuyimlang village asks Ao Senden to clarify within 3 days

that may take place involving Nuklutoshi. “Till an acceptable response is received from Ao Senden, Nuklutoshi will not leave Ao territory,” the council asserted.

In this regard, the council said that the Senso Mungdang and the Riongsanger Putu would continue to pursue the matter to its logical conclusion.

CMO: According to CMO, the cabinet had drawn attention on the resolution signed by the president of the Ao Senden, which appeared in the media. CMO said the cabinet expressed deep concern that a member of the cabinet was threatened and served with ‘quit notice’ from Ao territory with usage of “unparliamentary language like ‘so called minister’ .”

CMO asserted that a minister is a duly elected member of the legislative assembly who had taken oath under the constitution of India. Therefore, CMO said, the contents of the resolution “do not behove an apex tribal organisation.”

Ao legislators: Ao Legislators of Mokokchung district, held an emergency meeting in Dimapur on

January 10, 2017 to deliberate on the decision of the Ao Senden on January 9, 2017.

In a joint statement, the eight legislators from Mokokchung district- C. Apok Jamir, Imtikumzuk, S. Chuba Longkumer, Dr. Benjongliba, Dr. Longri and Merentoshi R. Jamir, including Dr. Imtiwapang and Amenba Yaden-- said they have utmost respect for Ao Senden and other civil society organisations and expressed shock at use of the term “so called minister” which demeaned the status of a minister.

The legislators pointed out that a minister is a duly elected member of the Nagaland Assembly, having the mandate of his electorate for a tenure of five years and has taken oath of office under the constitution of India.

They pointed out that in the present issue it was not the decision of an individual but a collective decision of the government to conduct elections to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and for which members of the government wee bound to uphold such decisions.

In this, they said the minister (Nuklutoshi) incharge of Mokokchung, was discharging his duty in his official capacity and not acting in his personal interest.

Since relationship between legislators and civil society organisations like Ao Senden had always been cordial and where dialogues had been the norm of resolving issues in the past, the signatories said they failed to understand why Ao Senden had taken such “a hasty and harsh decision” upon its bonafide member for an issue that did not pertain only to one single community but to the entire people of Nagaland.

In the light of the above, the signatories requested the Ao Seden to reconsider and rethink on its January 9 decision in order to “maintain cordial relationship and collectively serve our people”.

Ravi invites Manipur CSOs for consultative meeting

EC warns parties of ‘stern action’ for violating MCC

Ahead of the consultative meeting, the CSOs also held a meeting to discuss on the latest development.

During the meeting with Ravi, the AMUCO member said they would also discuss other issues which Ravi had initiated earlier with representatives of various civil society organizations as part of peace negotiation between NSCN (I-M) and government of India.

Earlier during the wwek, the ripples of the ongoing economic blockade in Manipur were also felt in the national capital, with rival Manipuri and Naga groups staging protests over the tense law-and-order situation in the state that will go to polls in March.

While members of the Delhi Manipuri Society highlighted the “humanitarian crisis” due to the indefinite economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council (UNC) since November 1, the Naga groups demanded imposition of President’s Rule in the state.

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS): Election Commission on Tuesday warned political parties of taking “stern action” again violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), saying it will not remain a “mute spectator”.

In a letter addressed to office bearers of political parties, the poll panel reminded the parties that MCC, which came in force on January 4 when elections in five states were announced, restricts leaders from making communal statements. “...political parties and their leaders should desist from making statements to the effect of creating disharmony between different sections of society on the basis of religion as the same disturb the peace and tranquility of the society which is absolutely essential for free and peaceful conduct of elections,” the letter said.

“The Commission will not remain silent spectator if the provisions of law of MCC are violated but will take stern action for all violations under all powers available,” the letter said. It asked political parties to issue advisories on this.

Recommended demonetisation on govt’s ‘advice’: RBI

Bodos set to intensify MVC lauds zero nominations Mass protest rally at Bhandari on Jan 12 protest across NE for Medziphema Town Council

NEW DELHI, JAN 10 (AGENCIES): Contrary to popular belief, it was the government which had “advised” the Reserve Bank to junk Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on November 7 and the board of the central bank the very next day recommended the demonetisation.

In a 7-page note to Parliament’s Department-Related Committee of Finance headed by Congress leader M Veerappa Moily, the RBI stated that the government had on November 7, 2016 “advised” the RBI that to mitigate the triple problems of counterfeiting, terrorist financing and black money, the Central Board of the Reserve Bank may consider withdrawal of the legal tender status of the notes in high denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000.”

RBI’s Central Board met the very next day to “consider the government’s advice” and after “deliberations” decided to “recommend. Then, the Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8 banned circulation of 500 and 1000 rupee notes.

Some ministers have thus far maintained that the government had only acted on RBI recommendation of demonetisation.

This is it!

“Wonder whose great idea it was, to have 33% instead of 35% or 45% etc.?”

GUWAHATI, JAN 10 (AGENCIES): Several Bodo groups, including the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) urged the government to start the tripartite political talks on Bodoland before the Parliament budget session, otherwise they would intensify the protest across north-east India.

The Bodo groups have also sought policy-level decisions on creation of Bodoland state with immediate effect.

The demands have come after Joint Secretary in the Home Ministry Satyendra Garg held talks with the Bodo groups here on their long-pending demand for statehood.

“Among the four demands, we have also sought that the government ensures political rights to Bodos living outside the proposed Bodoloand Area. Also, the need to invite all the revolutionary Bodo organisations for joint talks on the Bodoland issue,” ABSU President Pramod Bodo told newsmen The meeting was held in the Special Branch office of the Assam Police and was also attended by senior Assam Police officials. Four rounds of tripartite talks were held in the year 2013 and 2014 between the Assam and central Governments and Bodo groups when the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) was in power.

DIMAPUR, JAN 10 (NPN): Medziphema Village Council (MVC) has acknowledged the sacrifices of the intending candidates in listening to the voice of the people and refrained from filing nomination papers, which led to zero nominations in Medziphema Town Council (MTC).

The council lauded the candidates for maintaining maturity and true leadership quality by upholding the wishes of the people over their personal gains, despite extension of two “special hours” in filing of nomination papers exclusively for Medziphema.

It was also possible due to the selfless sacrifices, enthusiastic cooperation and active participation from the citizens of Medziphema, stated MVC chairman Neikhonyü Kuotsu and secretary Khriengulie Kapo in a press statement.

MVC affirmed that, “development at the expense of our personal rights and freedom is a mockery and that we the people

of Medziphema will not succumb to.” The council also appreciated the citizens of Medziphema for the unstinted cooperation and responding to the call of Medziphema Village Council to boycott the process of town council elections with 33% reservation for women at Medziphema town.

The village counicl further asserted that the contributions demonstrated by the citizens would go a long way in safeguarding “our rights and in protecting our precious democracy even in the future”.

Meanwhile, Medziphema Village Council also lauded APO, AYO, ASU, CPO, CYO and CSU for their patronage and remaining firm on their resolutions to oppose ULB election in Angami jurisdiction.

representatives from the 7th NAP Bn. HQ Bhandari, Mhankha Okho Bhandari Town and Sungro Range Union Bhandari Town at Town Hall Bhandari on January 10. In this connection, BTEH president Thungsali Odyuo has asked all citizens of Bhandari Town to co-operate during the rally.

‘Chinese agencies helping NE militants in Myanmar’ GUWAHATI, JAN 10 (Agencies): Chinese intelligence agencies have been helping various insurgent groups of North-eastern India having bases in Myanmar, and top anti-talk faction of ULFA Paresh Barua has currently set up base in Ruili, a Chinese town in the Myanmar border. Disclosing this, L R Bishnoi, Additional Director-General of Police, Assam, on Tuesday here also said that Paresh Barua had also drawn up plans to supply arms procured from Chinese agencies to smaller armed groups of the Northeastern region, reports The Indian Express.

“Barua in fact has been in Ruili for quite a long time, and only occasionally visits the ULFA camps that are located closer to the Indian border primarily because of security reasons,” Bishnoi said. Ruili is an important Chinese border town in the Yunnan Province famous

for bustling border trade – both legal and illegal – with Myanmar. Various ethnic communities having members on the Indian side in Arunachal Pradesh have reportedly made it easier for the rebel groups to find local support there.

“Chinese intelligences have been helping, directly or indirectly various insurgent groups of the Northeastern region that have their bases and hideouts inside Myanmar. These groups are under increasing influence of the Chinese agencies, and ULFA leader Paresh Barua is among those top leaders who have been in regular touch with the Chinese liaison office in Ruili on the China-Myanmar border,” ADGP LR Bishnoi said. He was speaking at an orientation programme called “Sabal Bidhayak” for newly-elected members of the Assam Legislative Assembly here. Pointing

out that camps of different rebel groups including the Barua faction of ULFA and Khaplang faction of NSCN were “still intact” inside Myanmar, Bishnoi said that these groups have now taken to launching joint attacks on security forces on the Indian side. “They have launched a new strategy of launching combined attack on security forces in districts close to the Myanmar border. While extortion continues to be a menace, it has drastically come down in the recent months,” he added.

Khaplang’s is the largest group: Giving a breakup of the cadre strength of different North-eastern rebel groups in Myanmar, ADGP Bishnoi said that while the Khaplang faction of NSCN had over 1,000 cadres there, People’s Liberation Army (PLA) – a Manipuri group came second with over 250 men. “Taking into account at least ten North-eastern

rebel groups having their bases and hideouts in Myanmar, there should be close to 2,500 militants from the region in that country. Of them NSCN(K) alone has a little over 1,000 men, followed by around 260 of the PLA, 230 of the UNLF and a little over 200 of the ULFA faction of Paresh Barua,” Bishnoi said.

According to him, the strength of the NSCN(IM) there would be between 80 and 120, NDFB(S) about 160, KYKL, Prepak and Prepak (Progressive) around 10 each. “Two things that have been happening there is that while the rebel groups of the region work in close coordination, they get almost 100 per cent support from the local communities close to the Indo-Myanmar who belong to various Naga tribes. These villagers not only provide them food and shelter, but also guide them through the mountainous track,” Bishnoi said.

“It is not necessary to record only the name of one person who booked the room, but the identity of all occupants and their addresses should be recorded.

This will help the hotels and police keep track of the criminals because we do not know the mind of persons who come and stay in hotels/guest houses. We need to be partners and cooperate because criminals are smart and most of the times tried to be ahead of us,” Syiem

said. The police also urged the operators of hotels/ guest houses to properly check the antecedents of their employees and monitor them.

Meanwhile the management of controversial Marvelene’s Inn, which is one among the guest houses where the 14-yearold minor girl was reportedly sexually exploited by many including the arrested Independent legislator, has denied its involvement in trafficking of the minor girl.

H o m e m i n i s t e r, H.D.R. Lyngdoh’s son, Nathanial Rymmai who owns Marvelene’s Inn told reporters today that the management was ignorant.

“Neither me nor the management of the Inn were involved. We are cooperating with police and wanted that the victim (minor girl) should get justice,” Rymmai said.

fice picketing. UNC and its constituents are launching government office picketing stir besides the indefinite economic blockade on the national highways in Manipur and banning of implementation of national projects in the Naga areas.

The DC office was the first among the government offices targeted by the volunteers and supporters of UNC and its constituents in Tamenglong district. The office picketing stir, which commenced from the midnight of December 31, 2016, is still continuing in Ukhrul, Senapati and Tamenglong districts. UNC has intensified its agitations after Ibobi government bifurcated seven districts including five hill districts to form seven new districts even as the Naga body opposed the creation of Jiribam and Kangpokpi (Sadar Hills) districts.

The DC office of newly created Kamjong (curved out from Ukhrul) and SDC office in Chandel district headquarters have also been attacked by miscreants.

A ga r tala / S hillo ng, Jan 1 0 (IANS): The northeastern region, with its huge energy potential - 50,000 MW, by some estimates - could soon become the “power house of India”. And taking a small first step in this direction, it is expected to feed the rest of the country up to 1,100 MW by the end of this year, energy experts say.

Seven northeastern states, excluding Sikkim, currently have an installed capacity of 2,690 MW, but as some of the plants are very old, the output is some 100 MW short of the peak-hour demand of 2,200-2,300 MW. However, there is a surplus of 300 MW during off-peak hours, while another 767 MW of capacity will be added by year-end. Sikkim is selfsufficient at 95.70 MW. State-run North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) alone generates 1,290 MW from its seven power plants - a mix of hydro-electric, gasand solar-based units.

Agra in Uttar Pradesh at an investment of Rs 12,000 crore ($1.8 billion).

The power ministry has estimated the hydro-power potential of the northeastern region at 58,971 MW, almost 40 percent of the country’s total potential, but only less than two per cent (1,200 MW) has been exploited till last year. Energy expert Sudhindra Kumar Dube said that the power generation potential of the northeastern region must be utilised with proper planning.

NEEPCO also plans to generate at least 1,500 MW from non-conventional sources of energy such as solar and wind power in the next five years.

With a population of 45.58 million in the northeastern region, the eight states including Sikkim, have a per capita electricity consumption of 257.98 kilowatt hour (kWh) against the national average of 778.71 kWh.

Petrol bomb attack at NE could feed India up to 1,100 MW of power Manipur students denied entry into Taj Mahal; inquiry ordered Tamenglong DC bungalow

IMPHAL, Jan 10: Miscreants on Tuesday evening hurled petrol bombs at the bungalow of Tamenglong deputy commissioner M Luikham.

Four of the nine petrol bombs hurled at the compound failed to explode.

Police who rushed to the spot recovered five more live petrol bombs inside the compound. Police believed that miscreants hurled the bombs from the southern side of the compound taking advantage of the darkness.

Police are yet to establish whether the attack was related with the ongoing agitation of the United Naga Council (UNC). They have initiated an investigation after registering a case.

Employees of the state government had said that the raise in salary and allowances to be recommended by the 5th SPC should be at par with the hike proposed by the 7th CPC. The previous pay revision for Meghalaya government employees was 32 percent with effect from January 1, 2007, as recommended by the 4th pay panel.

If the 5th SPC recommends a hike of about 25 percent as sought by the employees, it will entail an additional outgo of Rs 1,200 crore per annum (Rs 100 crore per month), according to The Shillong Times.

Shillong, Jan 10 (Agencies): The buzz among Central and state government employees in most parts of the country is about the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), its implementation, impact and benefits. However, Meghalaya, one of the seven northeastern states, is talking about the 5th pay panel.

The wait for the state’s approximately 99,000 employees and 20,000 pensioners has just got extended by about six months, if a report that appeared in a regional publication is any indication.

SHILLONG, JAN 10: Meghalaya police on Tuesday arrested one more accused for his alleged involvement in sexual assault of a 14-year-old minor girl.

With Tuesday’s arrest, nine accused have been nabbed including Independent legislator Julius Dorphang.

Police have registered a case against Dorphang under Section 366 (A) of the IPC read with Section 3(a)/4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act and under Section 5 of Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act (ITPA).

The ninth accused arrested today, identified as Kentli Tangsang (66), was arrested from the city and hailed from Wahkdait village bordering the Indo-Bangla border. Police officials said that investiga-

tion is on. “We are looking for more arrest of persons involved in the crime,” he said. Meanwhile, the state police have issued a list of advisories to hotels and guest houses operators to prevent flesh trade and other criminal activities in the state.

The advisories were issued to the hotels and guest house operators following the arrest of an Independent legislator Julius Dorphang and pimps and waiters who were involved in trafficking and sexual of a 14-year-old minor girl.

“We have advised them to install CCTV which can clearly capture the face of persons coming to hotels/guest houses and make sure that the CCTV is not out of order,” Superintendent of Police (Shillong City), Vivek Syiem told reporters.

Mulayam Singh Yadav

Akhilesh Yadav

Lu c k n ow, J a n 1 0 (IANS): Differences persisted Tuesday over key issues in Samjawadi Party, notwithstanding a meeting Akhilesh Yadav had with party patriarch Mulayam, who had last night declared that his son will be the chief minister if the party wins in the Assembly elections.

There was no official word from either side as to what transpired at the 90minute one-to-one meeting between the father and the son at Mulayam’s bungalow which took place amid signs of rapprochement.

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister walked down to his father’s bungalow this morning and after the meeting proceeded to his residence without respond-

ing to media questions.

There were expectations of reconciliation as Akhilesh’s warring uncle Shivpal and Amar Singh, often described as an outsider by the CM’s camp, were kept out of today’s confabulations. However, party insiders said the long meeting ended without finding any common ground.

The main bone of contention was the post of party president, which Akhilesh had snatched from his father at a party meeting here on January 1.

Mulayam asserts he is still party president and wants Akhilesh to give up his claim. But, the 43-yearold Chief Minister, who claims the backing of a majority of leaders and

lawmakers in the party, is in no mood to give it up.

He is adamant that he will hold the post for three months and will relinquish it once the UP elections are over, SP leaders said.

Akhilesh has dig in his heels as he does not trust his father’s closest aides -- Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh – and wants that they be kept away from crucial decision-making during this period, they said.

Akhilesh has been demanding removal of Shivpal from the post of the SP’s UP chief and sacking of Amar Singh. But, both his demands have not been entertained by Mulayam leading to the logjam in the party in the poll-bound state.

Meanwhile, the two SP factions led by Mulayam and Akhilesh, which have staked claim over the party and its election symbol ‘cycle’ ahead of Assembly elections, will be heard by Election Commission on January 13, the poll panel said. Hopes of settlement arose after a significant climbdown by Mulayam last night when he said, “Akhilesh will be the Chief Minister after the election, there is no confusion about it.”

EC sends show cause notice to Sakshi Maharaj New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS): The Election Commission on Tuesday issued show cause notice to BJP leader Sakshi Maharaj and said it is prima facie of the opinion that he violated the Model Code of Conduct by making “impugned statements”. The Unnao MP’s speech at a religious gathering at Meerut in the pollbound state attracted widespread condemnation while his own party distanced itself from his remarks.

Addressing a gathering of seers on January 6, the controversial Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader called for implementing the Uniform Civil Code and indirectly held the Muslims responsible for the population explosion.Population is rising rapidly, and so are the country’s problems. But Hindus are not responsible for this. Those who talk about four wives and 40 children are responsible,” he had said. The Election Commission, in its notice, said the Model Code of Conduct is clear that there should be no appeal to caste or communal feelings, and also cited the Supreme Court judgement that held that religion and caste should not be used by anyone while making any statement during electioneering or otherwise.

According to Washington Post, Trump’s Asia appointments are outpacing those for other regions and include top Asia hands.

Transition sources said Trump is close to selecting 55-year-old Tellis to be the next US envoy to India to replace Richard Verma who was appointed US Ambassador to India by outgoing President Barack Obama in 2015. Verma will depart as US Ambassador to India on January 20. “Tonight I told @SrBachchan I will depart as US Ambassador to India on January 20; it has been a great honour to serve in #IncredibleIndia,” Verma tweeted after a meeting with superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Sunday. Tellis is at present a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington think-tank.

Gandhinagar, Jan 10 (PTI): Strongly committing to continuing economic reforms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday promised to bring a paradigm shift in polity and economy by providing corruption-free regime and easing processes to make India the easiest place to do business.

Over the last two-anda-half years, the government has worked relentlessly to realise India’s potential and to set right the economy, he said, adding the results have been encouraging in substantial improvement in key macro-economic indicators like GDP growth, inflation, fiscal deficit, current account deficit as well as foreign investments.

NEW DELHI, Jan 10 (PTI): The Election Commission has asked the poll machinery in the five pollbound states to either cover or remove photographs of political leaders on all hoardings and advertisements which seek to project the achievements of any living political functionary or political party.

The commission gave these fresh directions by reiterating its instructions issued on December 12, 2004 after the chief electoral officer of Goa raised the issue after the election schedule was announced on January 4.

The poll watchdog said photos in advertisements or hoardings of similar type should also be removed or “covered suitably” so that spirit of its instructions is fully complied with.

y January 20,2017 the USA will have its 45th President when Donald Trump is sworn-in to office and moves into the White House and take over the reins from his predecessor Barack Obama. Trump was voted by an overwhelming majority of electoral votes winning 306 out of 538. His rival Hillary Clinton won 232 electoral votes but got more popular votes(48.1% against Trump’s 46.0%). Trump achieved the impossible twice- first he won the Republican party nomination defeating many well known, wealthier and perhaps better candidates. Next, he shocked the world by winning the election after defeating favoured and media savvy candidate Hillary Clinton. It may be pointed out that the American liberal media, musicians, Hollywood, Blacks, Latinos, immigrants, Wall Street, US military industrialists, Silicon Valley, gays & lesbians, Leftists and socialists, feminists etc were totally and strongly against Trump.

Trump will be stepping into the White House with certain agenda on his list, chief among which is to confront illegal immigration and terrorism from muslim radicals. Trump is not the ideal president that Americans envisage but nevertheless he will be the 45th head of state. The voters may not have appreciated many of Trump’s episodes and deals but they considered him the lesser evil to Hillary Clinton. Thus, it was Clinton whom the voters wanted to be defeated and Trump won because he spoke about issues that the liberal America didn’t want to talk about, leave alone even support them. As Obama moves out , he will be remembered as a president who left the nation as divided, got America involved in more wars despite having won Nobel Peace Prize and helped make ISIS deadlier and more dangerous. Obama was the epitome of American liberalism. In his eight years in office, he enacted a multitude of laws, initiatives, campaigns and legal actions that Christians saw as directly defying and warring against the laws, the order and the Word of God. This included everything from lobbying for the destruction of the Defense of Marriage Act, to the overturning of the biblical definition of marriage, to the transgenderizing of children’s bathrooms in the nation’s public schools, to the erosion of religious liberty in the military and throughout American culture. He gave strong impetus for abortion and even seeking to make Christian employers go against their beliefs and their faith to fund the killing of the unborn, to the pressuring of governments around the world to end the traditional definition of marriage. It was ironic that while on his way out, Obama found fit to resurrect the allegation of Russian interference in US elections, specifically to defeat Hillary Clinton and ensure Trump’s defeat. The great nation had a bunch of intelligence chiefs who believed but without evidence the charge of Russian hacking into the Democratic National Convention email. However, the hacking should have benefitted Democratic aspirant Bernie Sanders, but who was deprived by a shameful fixed match by the rich and powerful Democratic syndicate. Trump may not be the darling of the American mainstream media but he won the presidency and deserves to be given a chance to prove himself.

DailyDevotion The Opened Sight I now send you, to open their eyes…that they may receive forgiveness of sins… —Acts 26:17-18 This verse is the greatest example of the true essence of the message of a disciple of Jesus Christ in all of the New Testament.

God’s first sovereign work of grace is summed up in the words, “…that they may receive forgiveness of sins….”

When a person fails in his personal Christian life, it is usually because he has never received anything. The only sign that a person is saved is that he has received something from Jesus Christ. Our job as workers for God is to open people’s eyes so that they may turn themselves from darkness to light. But that is not salvation; it is conversion— only the effort of an awakened human being.

I do not think it is too broad a statement to say that the majority of so-called Christians are like this. Their eyes are open, but they have received nothing. Conversion is not regeneration. This is a neglected fact in our preaching today. When a person is born again, he knows that it is because he has received something as a gift from Almighty God and not because of his own decision. People may make vows and promises, and may be determined to follow through, but none of this is salvation. Salvation means that we are brought to the place where we are able to receive something from God on the authority of Jesus Christ, namely, forgiveness of sins.

This is followed by God’s second mighty work of grace: “…an inheritance among those who are sanctified….” In sanctification, the one who has been born again deliberately gives up his right to himself to Jesus Christ, and identifies himself entirely with God’s ministry to others.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. ~ Charles Spurgeon

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Wednesday, January 11, 2017

W

ith an intense speculation on the ongoing tussle between our civil societies and the state government, and the raging debate refusing to die down on the issue of Women Reservation it has now become a matter of who blinks first. The government making its hard stance assuring that its application will not infringe upon the hard earned rights provided by Article 371A, however, where is their foolproof scheme to ensure this? Is it possible in a state such as Nagaland where customs and cultures are not always precisely defined, and differ widely across different tribes? The state government’s defiance of the people’s wishes to postpone the ULB election and seek clarification can be interpreted as an infringement of Article 371A in itself. The Article empowers the various Tribal Apex bodies to deal with matters concerning respective tribes and areas and undermining such rights by the State government is undemocratic. Who should decide whether Naga customary laws and rights are being threatened? Is it the legal fraternity that advises the state government or the guardians of our rights and customs which is our tribal hohos? It is undoubtedly true that we could not avail the flow of funds from Central Government in terms of development of Municipality and Towns but we should not look upon the funds alone leaving aside the future ramifications. Some people at present have even gone to the point of ridiculing at our apex bodies who are taking the stand on the ground that this reservation act will infringe upon Article 371A which indeed is very unfortunate as whatever privileges we are enjoying today was brought by the blood, sweat and tears of our fathers and pioneers who even gave away their yesterday for our today. Though the Article 371A came along with the

P

Reservation Hiccups

creation of Nagaland state, its roots can be traced back to our political movement which resulted in this special allotment. Another aspect which needs to be understood by all Nagas both young and old is that this particular provision was given to us in order to suit our society because our way of life is much more different from the rest of the people of India in every sense of the term.

As a result, the special provision of Article 371 (A) which is meant for our people cannot be interpreted like that of the rest of the provisions in the Indian Constitution.

We should know also fully well that we Nagas are distinct in all aspects be it in appearances or landholding system or tradition and religion, etc. the Government of India has inserted the provision of Article 371(A) with a view of its historical and philosophical perspectives. Unlike the other States in India, the land holding system in the State of Nagaland is different. In the State of Nagaland, the land belongs to the individual/community and village authority. In other words, the private individuals are the owner of the land. The Government is not the landowner. For initiation of developmental activities, the Government acquires the land from the private individuals by way of purchased / paying compensation.

Perhaps, many of us do not realize that this very provision belongs to us Nagas alone and not to any others. What we need to remember is that as of now this provision is the only bond of relationship and the main binding factor between Nagas and Indians and nothing more, nothing less. The 33% Reservation for women is just one component of Municipal Act of 2001 and 2006.

With the current election scenario in Nagaland involving corruption, manipulation and brute power, many concerned people feels that women

will be compelled to involve in such malpractices, which will totally lead to social degeneration. The dream of the clean elections will become completely shattered once again and remain once more a distant dream than ever before.

Though for many gender issue doesn’t matter as long as the candidates who are contesting have the positive answers to questions like- do they possess leadership quality, are they genuinely going to work for you and me and the society, are they going to listen to you and me and truly work for the masses even after they are elected or are they just jumping in the fray because of this so-called reservation. The government would have come out much cleaner and better had this reservation issue done with proper grassroots homework with our tribal apex bodies rather than waiting for the verdict which is yet to be passed by the Supreme Court. The extension of the nomination dates from 7th to 9th January has only invited more wrath and reaction from around the districts. So the big questions again remain for those who filed nominations, will polls be held no matter what? May wisdom prevail amongst our leaders.

While the battle rages on let us ponder on some queries on reservation below: 1. Is the real focus of this reservation truly on social justice and gender equality or more on the benefits? If so, what we see are just some higher and upper income classes of women filing nominations to contest the ULB elections. So is this reservation implemented in the real sense? For instance, most of the intending candidates seem to wives, daughters or relatives of former councilors or from affluent background with strong political connections.

2. While allotting reservation

in some wards to our women, what about our men in those particular wards who are capable and honest and are worthy to be good leaders?

Won’t they be deprived their right to contest the elections because of this reservation policy? So won’t this amount to gender discrimination too? Won’t the reservation policy force the people to vote for some women even if they are incapable, corrupt or not worthy enough to be good leaders?

3. If an issue as women reservation can create such a furor and shake the foundations of our state with almost all our tribal apex bodies and civil societies crying hoarse, creating almost now a warlike situation, why do we remain silent and passive on other burning issues which are deteriorating our society such as the issue of illegal immigrants, bad roads, unpaid salaries, etc?

4. Will the rotation of the reservation seats give dedication, accountability and sincerity of elected representatives which is also one strong argument about the reservation policy. As both the electorates as well as the elected will not be serious enough since they won’t be for long in the service of the people of that particular place.

5. Why don’t the JAWCR as soon as possible set up a consultative meeting with our respective tribal bodies and sort out the whole matter? It is still clear in our minds that this very present state government said that the spirit of dialogue and discussion will solve any matter.

So why not organize and initiate discussions/deliberations among the confronting on this beleaguered issue without further delay?

The WR bill is one of the most controversial bills ever to implement not just because of gender bias but many feel it will benefit on an elitist group and further aggravate the

plight of the poor and the deprived lot. So will our state be any different?

Just because one doesn’t support this WR policy doesn’t mean that we don’t love our women-folks. Let us not just get too emotional over this gender equality/inequality issue or bias. Article 371 A may or may not infringe directly at the moment but it will surely open the floodgates of manipulation to encroach and dilute our special provision given by this article which no one can deny. Too much is at stake. The mediocre, incapable or some corrupt women may win only with reservation but the capable, talented and worthy women will win without any reservation on their own terms. True equality will take place only when women feel secure and safe in their homes and not just by mere granting of seats in some urban local body elections.

What is most important is basic education, safety and security and above all respect in our homes and beyond. Naga women have always enjoyed a high place of respect in our society. Using development rhetoric and garnering of more funds as smokescreen has not been able to convince our tribal apex bodies so far. Some say this reservation is not about only allotting women some share of seats and can smell of politics but 33% reservation itself is politics in itself since its inception at the national level.

Instead of strengthening the party in power before the assembly elections slated to be held next year, this reservation issue has not only deepened the chasms between the state government and the tribal bodies but has further created more divisions and inflicted fresh wounds amongst the partymen while in the issuing of tickets. It has not only seen the exit of some party loyalists joining other parties but affect the prospects of the results too.

Dear Leaders of Naga National Workers

lease do not send any Messages, Greetings or Salutes to Nagas before the achievement of the Naga common goal.

Dear Naga National Workers, before I started to write a few lines of my deep and saddened opinion to inform the Nagas including the whole leaders of the so-called Naga National workers, I do hereby tender my apology before everyone of you in the name of our Savior Lord Jesus Christ as this statement might hurt some prominent leaders of Naga National workers.

Many people who are tirelessly working for the interest of the Naga common goal till today may be wondering as who is Shri. T.L Angami? Why is he always shouting for the Naga common political final settlement and from which Naga native village he belongs to. I think that I must disclose myself to the Nagas as to why I was always crying with the whole Village Chiefs in Nagaland and shouting through the daily newspaper about the real historical fact for the achievement of the Naga common goal.

I must not failed or forgotten to say ‘thank you very much’ to all the Editors of all local media in Nagaland for their tireless publication of my opinion to informed the general public and my appeals to the Naga National Workers leaders for their unity in order to achieve the Naga common goal as endorsed by the Nagas for the last many decades after corrected my broken English into understandable.

Ok. In short, the undersigned Shri.T.L Angami, was the founder president and Sr. Advisor to the Gaon Burha or Village Chiefs Federation of Nagaland (GBFN) on 14th Dec.1984 at Kohima Village under the leadership of Mr.Khrielie GB the president of All Angami GB Association Shri. T.L. Angami is still alive by the grace of Almighty God. My native village was Keruma changed into Zhadima village according to its historical background. I was officially known as Shri. T.L Angami.

While I was studying at Chiechama M.E School in 1956 at the age of 16 years old the Naga National political movement and the situation had come in the like of hurricane based on the 1951 Naga Plebiscite

under the leadership of Shri.

A.Z Phizo the President of the NNC and father of the present NNC President Miss Adino Phizo who was now 84 years old and still alive by the grace of God and living in Kohima Peace camp.

Her father A.Z Phizo died at London on 30th April 1990 and was also buried at New Secretariat area Kohima on May 11, 1990. His mortal remains were received at Dimapur Airport on May 10, 1990 by the Nagas and escorted till it reached the places where he was buried.

It has also portrait clearly as “The Father of Naga Nation” on the Pillar.

The Nagas dressed in their full traditional warrior attires filled the Airport area in the civic reception of Dr. A.Z Phizos and to the surprised of the Naga people and as a signed of warrior the rain started to showers followed by a “Rainbow” appearing in the sky immediately as he landed on the Naga soil, on 10th May 1990. The body of the Father of the Naga Nation was received by the Nagas led

by Lt. M.Supong Jamir the then President of Naga Council Dimapur. Consequently the Naga Council has also unanimously resolved that the Dimapur Airport will be named after him as “Dr. A.Z Phizo Airport.”

Dear Nagas, that in support of the Naga Independent demands, the Zhadima village as the third biggest village from Northern Angami 11A/C had tremendously suffered and sacrificed for the Naga cause. That time the Zhadima village comprised with 380 houses in 1956. The village authority resolved to follow the decision of the Nagas in demanding Naga independent under the Banner of NNC led by A.Z Phizo the president of NNC and those days, the Zhadima village after resolved to achieve the Naga common goal summoned the whole Zhadima villagers living outside the village to come to Zhadima urgently and thereafter it resolved to blocked the PWD road leading to Zhadima village which was completely damaged and cut off by the villagers on that very night.

And on seeing the Naga political struggles for Independence, the India Army have constructed alternative road with bulldozer and reached the Zhadima village within a week. And after that the village leaders were all

captured and beaten up black and blue and threatened the villagers to put in jail as to why they have damaged the Govt. approach road. And as such, the Zhadima villagers found no alternative but decided to flee away from their native village into thick jungles. Though poor or rich every people were ready to leave their village and abandoned their home and heart including everything. The whole villagers young or old, women or men carried their luggage including their immediate daily requirement, commodities and left their homes and hearts and fled to the jungles on 17th Feb.1956.

Thereafter the Indian Armies came to the village and burnt down a total 380 houses into ashes, destroyed all properties including all domestic animals. After a spanned of one or two months time in the thick jungles the villagers consume all their commodities, the whole villagers starved together, many were infected with epidemic diseases where there is no food and medicine and there was no more ways to hide, and the suffering was extremely pathetic that women have to leave behind the babies carried in their womb. That after hiding in the thick forest and living in the jungles like wild animals for nearly three years just for the cause of Naga independent struggles, it has witnessed that many rich men have starved to die first.

But the men folk do not lost hope but took their weapon and fought against Indian Army where many personals including officers were killed.

Meanwhile, Zhadima village on their returned back to their native village after nearly 3 years for re-settlement, the leaders decided to go for a census record that how many lives were sacrificed for the Naga cause, and it has found that, 679 villagers were found missing and 43 houses completely abandoned. And till today, I Shri, T.L Angami the Village Chief from Zhadima is still crying with my villagers for burnt down of our homes and heart into ashes, where nearly 1000 of theirs villagers were found missing/ death in the jungles for the Naga common goal. Many precious lives were also killed by the Indian Army such as (1) Lt.Pezachulie the brother in-law of Ex, Chief Minister JB Jasokie (2) Dierhevi Raju

Peyu who was the eldest son of the Hd.GB (3) Lt.Mohie of Zhadima village etc.

Shri. T.L Angami was P.S to Zhaseyi Huire the Japfü State Ahng cum-President of FGN. While we were camped at Chedema Peace Camp a team of World Peace Mission lead by Rev. Micheal Scott and team came to us after declaring General Amnesty in the year 1964 and offered the FGN President Zasheyi Huire to accept the following condition; That there shall be 10 years of interim period and in which the Nagas and GOI will negotiate for a settlement for the issue (1) Defense (2) Foreign Affairs and (3) Currency which will be shared with India within the said period. The team came to us thrice (3 times) and asked Huire to Sign, but Hurie replied that without the permission of the NNC President he cannot sign. He refused them thrice and missed a golden opportunity. After that A.Z Phizo sent an advised to Zasheyi Huire President of FGN which stated that, Naga Political issue is also like a business, we may demand Rupee. 1/- but if it is not a loss we can sell it at 75 paisa, but unfortunately it was too late. Otherwise who know if Zasheyi Huire President of FGN signed that time the Nagas may be enjoying a fullfledged Independent.

After that, I along with 2 khapur (CO) (1) Lt. Yangulie from Zhadima (2) Yievi from Ciesema village including 2 of their personal peon were arrested from Nachama village by Madhya Pradesh (MP) Police under the command of the Northern Angami Area President Shri. R.Sopu of Chiechama village and put us into Kohima Jail as Naga Political prisoners. We have been released after completion of one year through the help of Mr. R.Ezung the then DC Kohima in 1967.

Shri. T.L Angami after that formed the GBFN in 1984 and completely uplifted the Naga historical facts and its background with GBFN and team and tried to bring an amicable settlement between the Nagas and GOI and also submitted several memorandums to the GOI. Angami is also not less than a freedom fighter for the Nagas.

That while awaiting the Naga political final settlement with the whole Naga Village Chiefs (GBs) for nearly 70 years, I appealed the leaders of the Nagas either the

underground or overground for the last many decades to get united and bring an amicable settlement. However, it is found that there is no unity among the Nagas though the door of the Naga final political settlement was open again on 3rd August 2015 by 2 (two) nation GOI and Nagas led by the collective leaders of NSCN (IM). But instead of trying to bring a final and amicable settlement for the Nagas, sending of Messages or Greetings or Saluting the Nagas through newspaper always by the so-called Ato Kilonser, Kedhage or President, or Retd. Gen.etc of this or that factions, etc..has become a trend for day today life. Further calling themselves as leaders of various Naga National Workers and claiming to be original parties of NNC though all the faction are from offshoots which are nothing different and no more necessary as it shows nothing important but creating more divisions and confusion about the Naga Political issue.

I Shri. T.L Angami, on my behalf and on behalf of the whole Zhadima villagers and on behalf of the whole Naga Village Chiefs, Gaon Burha’s or Ahng appeal the whole leaders of the so-called

Naga National workers not to send anymore Messages or Greetings or Salutes to the Nagas unless they come together as desire by the Nagas and bring an amicable settlement to the Nagas as endorsed to them.

Besides, the Nagas have shed their bloods and gave thousand of their innocent lives for the Naga common goal. If some of the so-called Naga National Workers is to work only for the Nagas of Nagaland with some vested person, we the Angamis shall not give cooperation to such division group. This is the right time for the Naga National Political Groups to come together for the second step in order to fulfill the demand of the Nagas. Therefore, I repeat, the Nagas want amicable settlement and not only greetings or messages please. And if you considered yourself as a true National workers and leaders, you should give your level best to work for the whole Nagas till achieve the Naga common goal under one umbrella.

God bless you all and Kukalim T.L Angami, Sr. Advisor Village Chief’s (GB) Federation of Nagaland (GBFN)

Reader’s Post

33% reservation and Nagas

Sir,

It is so disheartening to see Nagas squabbling over a policy made by people who are so thoroughly dissected by caste, sex and religion that we are turning loggerheads at each other and using the word discrimination which actually is non-existent in our society. Naga men and women have always been equal in all fronts. There has always been mutual respect, coordination and equilibrium among Naga men and women. Modernity must never replace our sense of humanity and co-existential qualities that is so richly embedded in us. Like a message that has been circulating in the social medias which reads and I quote, “We don’t have female foeticide, we don’t have child marriage, we don’t have women dress codes, we don’t have forced marriage, we generally don’t follow polygamy or polyandry, we Naga girls and boys eat and drink alike..” etc. is an eye opener.

The present society is changing at such a pace that we are made to even question the ethics that we hold in sacred and reverence. I strongly believe it is not necessary for any Naga men to tell women their duties or vice-versa. We have survived this long through the compliment we have for each other and that should be the sole thrust that pushes us forward. Let this message remind us that we shouldn’t sell off something good in the hope that the next might be better. We know that article 371 A is good so far, so let us be satisfied with that and not hope for something that may or may not be good enough for us like the 33% reservation which is creating rifts between our men and women.

Seyie Angami, Kohima

Search for happiness in life, Pranab to students

President Pranab Mukherjee delivering the New Year message to the Students and faculty through Video Conference from Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday. (PTI)

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS/PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee, in his New Year’s message to students on Tuesday, called happiness fundamental to human experience of life happy and presented them with a ‘toolbox’ to use to achieve this.

In his message, titled “Building a happy society”, to students of higher learning and faculty members, which was conveyed via livecast, he called upon the youth to enhance happiness by learning to wear a smile always, laughing at life, and connecting with nature and getting involved with the community.

The President advised them to take part in sports and keep good health, and said bringing smiles on the

faces of the deprived and under-privileged can be a truly rewarding experience.

“The incidents of against women, road rage, substance abuse, and suicides are all manifestations of unhappiness,” he said, and urged students to practice yoga and meditation to overcome these feelings.

He advised youth to make books their best friends and inculcate a love of reading.

Recounted the journey of India in numbers from a poverty-stricken nation 70 years back to present times when it is reckoned amongst the swiftest advancing economies, Mukherjee also lamented the fact that despite such progress, India was ranked

117 among 158 nations on the parameter of ‘happiness’ in ‘World Happiness Index’ in 2015.

“This is even more surprising when we look at our civilisational legacy.

We are a nation of festivals.

Celebration of life is a part of our nature... today, large numbers of countries are looking at happiness and well-being as the touchstones of public policy,” he said.

At the end of his address, Mukherjee exhorted students to think through their problems and devise their solutions.

“Remember that our happiness is not divisible.

If we care for ‘others’, then we also share our knowledge and other resources with them. Happiness then becomes an inevitable derivative of a humane pursuit,” he said.

Mukherjee said country’s educational institutes, the temples of learning, must create waves of happy human beings, who will build a happy India.

“Only those who are happy can spread happiness. Youth comprises more than 65 per cent of India’s total population. If we have happy youth, they can work towards happiness in the society,” the President said.

Jammu, Jan 10 (PTI): Opposition Tuesday staged a walkout from the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly after protests and uproarious scenes jammed the proceedings over clash between people belonging to two communities in Kathua district of the state.

Demanding an assurance and statement from the government, opposition members of NC, Congress, CPI (M) and Kashmir-based legislators trooped near the well and resorted to antigovernment slogans for its “failure” in ensuring peace and security at the place

where the clash occurred.

Amid sloganeering, protest and noisy scenes, NC MLC Mian Altaf said that the government has “failed” to protect Gujjars who have been “targeted” by locals.

Jammu and Kashmir Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Public Works Abdul Rehman Veeri had yesterday said that at around 7.30 AM some locals of Harya Chak village in the district found a severed head, allegedly of a cow, near the house of one Maskeen Gujjar, resident of Chak

ported DIPR. The candidates include- nine NPF, three Independents and one Congress.

In WTC, 33 nomination papers were accepted after scrutiny at DC office Wokha, which was supervised by returning officer and ADC Wokha Hotolu Swu. Altogether 12 female candidates would be contesting for the WTC out of which two female candidates are contesting under general quota (unreserved).

Altogether 12 female candidates are contesting for the Wokha Town Council Election out of which two female candidates are contesting under general quota. Out of 15 wardsBJP filed 13, NPF 12 and 8 Independent candidates.

The party unit pointed out that as all government employees were bound to follow instructions of the government, Nuklutoshi who is in-charge of Mokokchung Division was also duty bound.

The NPF unit said it found no justification in singling out Nuklutoshi, when all other government machineries were also involved in conduct of elections to ULBs. Further, it said that not a single NPF candidate filed nomination on January 9, 2017 as desired by Ao Senden.

Oppn stages walkout from J&K Assembly Dhari Harya in Chak Rajbagh.

Altaf said the authorities have “failed” to maintain law and order and demanded the removal of DC and SSP of Kathua district for the incident.

He was supported by Congress MLA Nawang Rigzin Jora and Independent MLA Engineer Rasheed and CPI (M) member M Y Tarigami. The Parliamentary Affairs Minister A R Veeri countered them by saying that government has already given reply in the House yesterday and the situation has come back to normalcy.

He levelled charges against the opposition for its “bad attitude” of raking up every issue and disrupting the House despite replying to the issue.

Amid sloganeering and pandemonium, the entire opposition led by Leader of the House Omar Abdullah staged walkout from the Assembly.

Later speaking to re-

National/state

porters, Jora said that BJPPDP government was creating fear psychosis in the region and dividing people on communal lines.

“The law and order machinery has totally failed to ensure security and safety of the people and ensure peace in the state,” Jora said.

Hitting out at the government, NC MLC Mian Altaf said that “Gujjars have been targeted again this morning and there was fear among them. The DC and SSP should be immediately removed for failure to protect them.” M Y Tarigami said that Jammu and Kashmir is a sensitive state and the government should act with caution to ensure that such incidents were not repeated.

Centre, Delhi get NGT notice over sanitation workers’ strike

Garbage piles up after East Delhi MCD sanitation workers call a protest strike in front of an AAP Mla’s house in Trilok Puri area in New Delhi on Tuesday. (PTI)

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS): The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Tuesday sought to know from the Delhi government, Union Urban Development Ministry, the East DMC and striking sanitation workers’ associations what steps are being taken to solve the problem. The tribunal in its notice also asked these authorities about the steps taken to remove garbage from the streets in east Delhi.

Advocate Balendu Shekhar, who appeared for the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC), told IANS that a bench headed

by NGT Chairman Justice Swatanter Kumar issued notice.

“In the notice, the

NGT Chairman asked what steps all the authorities took to control the situation and remove garbage from the streets in various parts of east Delhi,” Shekhar told IANS. Shekhar on behalf of the East DMC requested the tribunal to intervene and permanently settle the issue of workers’ salaries and dues.

According to East DMC officials, the huge difference between the civic body’s expenditure and earning is main reason behind the problem, as the annual salaries and pensions total around Rs 1,600 crore while it generates revenue of only Rs 608 crore per annum. The strike of sanitation workers who

are protesting non-payment of their salaries for the past three months continued for the fifth day on Tuesday. A section of North DMC employees also went on strike over non-payment of salaries on Tuesday. The Delhi government on Monday released Rs 119 crore to the East DMC but the agitating employees said they would call off the strike only after their salaries were credited into their bank accounts.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which rules all the three municipal corporations of Delhi, was doing politics over garbage in the city at the cost of health and lives of Delhi people.

Vehicle sales across categories registered a decline of 18.66 per cent last month at 12,21,929 units, from 15,02,314 units in December 2015, as per Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).

“This is the highest decline across all categories since December 2000, when there was a drop of 21.81 per cent in sales. The reason is largely due to the negative consumer sentiment in the market due to demonetisation,” SIAM Director General Vishnu Mathur told reporters here.

Except for the light commercial vehicles segment, which saw a growth of 1.15 per cent at 31,178 units, all the other categories of the industry saw decline in sales in December, he added. Mathur, however, said the drop in sales is temporary but how sales pick up would depend a lot on “how the Bugdet comes up with steps that will boost consumer sentiments and increase disposable income besides improving the overall economy.”

Domestic car sales were at 1,58,617 units last month as against 1,72,671 units in December 2015, down 8.14 per cent. It was the lowest rate since April 2014 when sales declined by 10.15 per cent.

New Delhi, Jan 10 (PTI): Monthly automobile sales growth rate in India slipped to a 16-year-low in December with total vehicle sales declining by 18.66 per cent as demonetization hits the industry hard.

New Delhi, Jan 10 (PTI): The Reserve Bank of India is expected to go for only a 25 bps rate cut this year and the likelihood of an easing in April is more than in February, says a Citigroup report. According to the global financial services major, the monetary easing support to rates is waning as the mantle is passed on to the fiscal policy. “On balance, and given our baseline assumption of a deviation in fiscal deficit roadmap (from 3 per cent of GDP to 3.4 per cent of GDP in 2017-18), we expect MPC to cut policy rate by only 25 bps in 2017,” the report said.

It added that the rate cut would be more effective after the re-monetisation exercise is concluded fully and there is absolute clarity on the increase in lendable resources for banks. “This makes the April rate cut, a tad more likely than the February rate cut,” it said. On December 7, the central bank kept interest rate unchanged despite calls for lowering it and also lowered the economic growth projection by half a percentage point to 7.1 per cent in the first policy review post demonetisation.

New Delhi, Jan 10 (PTI): Gold prices reclaimed the Rs 29,000mark by surging Rs 330 to trade at over one-month high of Rs 29,030 per 10 grams, tracking uptrend in the global bullion market and increased buying by local jewellers.

Silver also shot up by Rs 350 to Rs 40,750 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Bullion traders said that sentiment got a boost after gold moved up in global markets as weakness in the dollar raised demand for the precious metal as a safe haven.

Globally, gold rose 0.43 per cent to USD 1,185.90 an ounce in Singapore. Besides, increased buying by jewellers at domestic spot market supported the upmove, they added. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity climbed Rs 330 each to Rs 29,030 and Rs 28,880 per ten gram, respectively, a level last seen on December 5 when it had closed at Rs 29,050.

stronger,” the study highlighted.

“These constraints would necessitate a large part of infrastructure needs to be met from the corporate bond market,” it said.

Over the past 10 years, bank lending to the infrastructure sector has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28 per cent, which is faster than the overall credit growth. Besides, the infrastructure’s share of bank credit has doubled from 7.5 per cent in 2005 to 15 per cent in 2016.

The study suggested that the ideal mode of financing infrastructure projects is for banks to focus on funding up to the pre-commissioning stage of projects.

“After the project is commissioned and stable, banks must refinance the debt through bonds to long-term investors, as such refinancing will free up considerable funds for banks and enable their redeployment in new projects,” it said.

C henn a i , J a n 1 0 (IANS): Global credit rating agency Moody’s on Tuesday said the ongoing reforms in India are likely to boost medium-term growth while the overall outlook for creditworthiness of sovereigns in Asia Pacific is stable. In a statement, Moody’s Investors Service said the capacity of governments to implement measures and the effectiveness of policies in achieving the respective governments’ objectives would shape the sovereigns’ credit profiles over the coming year.

“In particular, in India (Baa3 positive), Indonesia (Baa3 stable) and the Philippines (Baa2 stable), ongoing implementation of reforms was likely to boost medium-term growth,” Moody’s said. Moody’s analysis is contained in its just released report titled ‘Sovereigns - Asia Pacific: 2017 Outlook - Stable Outlook Balances External, Political Risks Against Economic, Institutional Reforms’.

In its report Moody’s said it had maintained a positive outlook on India’s rating in November 2016, based on its expectation that economic and institutional reforms would support continued robust growth.

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS): The public sector banks (PSBs) will by March 2019 need equity worth Rs 1.7 lakh crore, which can turn out to be higher on an increased credit growth, a recent Assocham-Crisil joint study has revealed.

“The public sector banks need equity of Rs 1.7 lakh crore by March 2019, which is a tall order considering that banks have so far contributed to nearly half of the debt funding needed in the infrastructure space,” noted the study.

The study titled ‘Building a new India’, was conducted by industry body Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) with global research firm Crisil.

Thai king asks for Iran bids farewell to ex prez Rafsanjani China tightens security at constitution to be amended PoK, Afghanistan borders

China has tightened security at its borders with PoK and Afghanistan.

“Xinjiang, which borders eight countries, including Pakistan and Afghanistan, has been China’s main battleground in the fight against terrorism,” the daily reported.

China’s official media refers to PoK borders with Xinjiang as Pakistan border without mentioning its disputed status. It is the same region through which the USD 46 billion ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is being built.

Mention of Pakistan in relation to the problem of terrorism in Xinjiang is rare in the Chinese media as ETIM has in the past had training bases in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

Pakistan army has conducted special operations in recent years to clear them under pressure from China.

However, a large number of the militants from the Muslim Uyghur majority province reported to have crossed over to Syria through Turkey and joined Islamic State.

Last year, Chinese official media reported that Chinese and Pakistan border troops have launched border patrolling to curb infiltration.

Vajiralongkorn

Ba n g ko k , Ja n 1 0 (IANS): Thailand’s King Vajiralongkorn has asked for certain amendments in the country’s new constitution before it is passed, government officials said on Tuesday.

The monarch has sought amendment of three-to-four issues in the section devoted to the authority and role of the king, according to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha.

“It does not involve people’s right and freedom at all. It is about His Majesty’s authority,” said Prayut.

The Prime Minister added that he will amend the section dedicated to the king, the only section remaining from the constitution which was abolished after the coup in 2014.

Prayut did not specify which points were to be modified in the section

on the monarch, which determines his powers and authority to appoint members of the Privy Council and bestow noble titles, among others.

According to the Prime Minister, the amendment of the interim constitution, approved in a referendum on August 7, 2016, will be done within a month and will be transposed into the new constitution in another three months before the document will be presented to the king for his approval.

Prayut’s announcement comes a day after Vice Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam warned that the new constitution will remain invalid if it is not approved by the king before February 6, when the legal deadline expires.

The new constitution is part of the roadmap designed by the military junta to restore democracy in the country with elections expected to be held later this year.

The draft was composed by a team of 21 members handpicked by the junta, and it serves to consolidate the power of the military and state bodies controlled by bureaucrats in the political sphere, while weakening the elected government.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

T e h r a n, Ja n 1 0 (Agencies): Hundreds of thousands of Iranians massed in central Tehran on Tuesday for the funeral of former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, an influential figurehead of the Islamic Republic whose pragmatism led to a rift with Iran’s supreme leader.

Rafsanjani, who died on Sunday aged 82, was buried next to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979 who founded its system of theocratic rule.

Rafsanjani’s policies of economic liberalisation and better relations with the West attracted fierce supporters and equally fierce critics during his life.

While many of his opponents turned out to honour him, and Supreme L e a d e r Aya t o l l a h A l i Khamenei stressed their close bond, what was in-

tended by the state as a show of unity was clouded by the chants of thousands opposition supporters, as well as the absence of reformist ex-president Mohammad Khatami.

An eyewitness told Reuters on the phone from Tehran: “Some were chanting slogans asking for political prisoners to be released, some hardliners were shouting ‘Death to America!’. But they didn’t clash. Everyone was respectful.”

Some of the chants called for the release of former prime minister Mir Hossein Mousavi and of Mehdi Karoubi, a cleric and former speaker of parliament who lost the disputed 2009 presidential election to incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Both men refused to accept the results of that election and were placed under house arrest while Rafsanjani, who had backed them, was politically isolated along with his family.

Two separate sources said Hashemi’s daughter Faezeh, jailed for six months in 2012 on charges of anti-government propaganda, had told people at the funeral that Khatami had been banned from attending. On state television’s live coverage, the opposition chants were drowned out by solemn music.

As a leading power-

broker, Rafsanjani helped Khamenei to secure Iran’s most powerful position, that of supreme leader, after Khomeini’s death in 1989, and won election as president himself a few months later.

However, their friendship gradually turned into rivalry as Rafsanjani, who continued to wield enormous influence even after his eight years as president ended, sided with reformists who promoted greater freedom, while Khamenei interpreted the values of the Islamic Republic much more conservatively.

In his condolence message, Khamenei said political differences had never been able to “entirely break up” their nearly 60 years of friendship. Streets were filled overnight with billboards that showed a picture of the two men smiling and chatting as close friends.

“No one will be like Hashemi for me,” the billboards quoted Khamenei as saying, using Rafsanjani’s first family name.

It was Khamenei who said the final prayer over Rafsanjani’s body in the University of Tehran courtyard where the late president delivered many of his sermons during Friday prayers.

Politicians, military commanders and religious figures from all camps stood behind him.

Beijing, Jan 10 (PTI): Amid rising terror threats, China has tightened security at its borders with PoK and Afghanistan to prevent terrorists from entering or leaving its volatile Xinjiang province which has recently witnessed violent attacks allegedly by the separatist East Turkistan Islamic Movement.

The province has already stepped up efforts in entry-exit management last year and continues to tighten the security this year, Shohrat Zakir, the Xinjiang chairman, told Xinjiang’s local provincial council.

Many terrorists who carried out attacks in the

region in recent years received training abroad and then returned illegally.

Some also crossed the border illegally to flee, Aniwar Turson, a top ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) official of Xinjiang’s Kashgar prefecture, was quoted as saying by the state-run media. Kashgar prefecture borders Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Afghanistan.

“We need to make sure not a single terrorist can get in or out of Xinjiang illegally, especially when our neighboring countries are facing rising terrorist threats,” Aniwar was quoted as saying by state-run China Daily.

Trump names son-in-law as senior presidential advisor ‘22,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar in a week’

Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump arrive for a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis., on Capitol Hill, in Washington.

New York, Jan 10 (Agencies): US President-elect Donald Trump announced that his sonin-law Jared Kushner, a property developer and pub-

lisher, will serve as senior White House advisor, flouting myriad legal and ethical concerns.

The incoming Republican, who has never previ-

advisor throughout the campaign and transition and I am proud to have him in a key leadership role in my administration,” Trump announced yesterday.

“He has been incredibly successful, in both business and now politics. He will be an invaluable member of my team as I set and execute an ambitious agenda, putting the American people first,” he added.

Priebus called Kushner “a visionary with a rare ability to communicate with and assemble broad coalitions of support” and said his “open mind, adaptability and keen intellect” would be a “great asset” to the team.

Yangon, Jan 10 (PTI): At least 65,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar -- a third of them over the past week -- since the army launched a crackdown in the north of Rakhine state, the United Nations (UN) said on Tuesday.

The figure marks a sharp escalation in the numbers fleeing a military campaign which rights groups say has been marred by abuses so severe they could amount to crimes against humanity. They also come the same day the UN’s human rights envoy for Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, began a 12-

day visit to probe violence in the country’s borderlands that will take her to the army-controlled area.

“Over the past week, 22,000 new arrivals were reported to have crossed the border from Rakhine state,” the UN’s relief agency said in its weekly report. “As of 5 January, an estimated 65,000 people are residing in registered camps, makeshift settlements and host communities in Cox’s Bazaar” in Bangladesh, said the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

The exodus of Rohingya from northern Rakhine began after Myanmar’s

army launched clearance operations while searching for insurgents behind deadly raids on police border posts three months ago. Escapees from the persecuted Muslim minority in Bangladesh have given harrowing accounts of security forces committing mass rape, murder and arson.

The stories have cast a pall over the young government of Aung San Suu Kyi, with mainly Muslim Malaysia being especially critical.

Myanmar’s government has said the claims of abuse are fabricated and launched a special commission to investigate the allegations.

Seoul, Jan 10 (IANS): South Korea’s constitutional court, which is deliberating a motion to impeach President Park Geun-hye, on Tuesday warned against a possible delay of trial on the impeachment bill.

The court said future proceedings must not be postponed for the reason of time shortage in preparations, and urged both the defendant and plaintiff sides to bear that in mind. It asked both sides to speed up the legal proceedings and offered to the court the details on the impeached leader’s whereabouts on the day of the ferry-sinking disaster.

WALK IN INTERVIEW

IN ONE OF THE MOST REPUTED PRIVATE SECTOR COMPANY OF NAGALAND

Nagaland is changing. Gone are the days when Govt. Jobs were the only options for a satisfying career and a stable life. With the influx of big private sector organisations, life here no more revolves around just the need of a slow growing salary which may come with the assurance of stability for over 30 years. People have started thinking beyond negligible yearly increments & long waited promotions. A large LED screen to watch soccer, a top of the end Home Theatre System, a stylish four wheeler have all paved their way from luxury to necessity. The mind-set of many here is as fast as the bullet trains of Japan. People now understand that the inclination for private jobs is the right inclination because people want to be satisfied at job and parameters of job satisfaction have widened.

A job with us is synonymous to fastest growth, highest salary and highest recognition. Employees are our assets and since they deliver their best for our students, we don’t compromise with the work environment or any other job parameter. If you think you are success hungry, dynamic and your ambition is huge, we are the best place in Nagaland you can work with. It’s time to change your mind-set and change your choice of jobs.

The Nitesh Tiwari directorial was racing towards the Rs 350-crore mark at the time of going to press. An ecstatic Aamir said, “I have never got such a euphoric response earlier. I don’t think there is any greater joy for an artiste than the audience appreciating his film. I am thankful to everyone for

showering so much love on Dangal. I would also like to thank Nitesh sir.”

Om Puri had an injury on his head: Reports

W

hile the police had ruled out any foul play in the death of actor Om Puri who died of a heart attack in his residence at Oshiwara on Friday morning, it seems things may take a turn after a statement from his driver-friend Khalid Kidwai and as new details emerge.

Kidwai has mentioned that Om Puri was extremely disturbed the night before he passed away.

According to the actor’s post-mortem report, there was a one-and-a-half inch deep and four centimetres long injury on his head, reports Indian Express.

The cause of the injury, however, is not known yet.

The driver, as quoted

by DNA, said that the actor wanted to meet his son Ishan on Thursday evening, a day before his death.

Kidwai took Puri to Trishul building where his ex-wife Nandita lives with Ishan. However, they were unable to meet them as both

Nandita and Ishan had gone for a party, he said.

“Om Puri then had an argument over the phone with Nandita and asked them to come soon as he wanted to meet his son. He poured a drink in his glass and waited for almost 45 minutes at Nandita’s flat.

But when they did not turn up, he took the glass and liquor bottle and started drinking in the car. After finishing the drink, we left,” he said. Puri died early morning on January 6, 2017, reportedly due to a cardiac arrest. However, Mumbai Police have registered a case of accidental death.

Russian teen stuns Kerber in Sydney

Russian teenager Daria Kasatkina returns a shot to Angelique Kerber during their match on Tuesday.

S Y D N E Y, J a n 1 0 (Agencies): Russian teenager Daria Kasatkina put Angelique Kerber’s Australian Open preparations in a spin with a straight-sets upset win over the world number one at the Sydney International on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old, ranked 26, underlined her huge potential with a confident performance to take out the German, 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 in a second-round match played in sweltering conditions.

to French Open champion Garbine Muguruza in the second round at the Brisbane Inter national.

While she continues her march, Kerber’s form is a concern ahead of next week’s opening Grand Slam of the year, having also lost to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the Brisbane International last week.

Kerber, who had a breakthrough 2016, winning two Grand Slams on her way to becoming world number one, struggled to find any rhythm and her usually strong forehand was astray. Asked about her emotions after her biggest win yet, Kasatkina said courtside: “Difficult to explain because I beat the number one in the world and it doesn’t happen every day. I think I got some

confidence.” It was a day of upsets in Sydney where temperatures sizzled around 36 Celsius (97 Fahrenheit) with defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova and last year’s finalist Dominika Cibulkova both knocked out in the second round.

World number nine Kuznetsova went out to Russian compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 7-5, 6-3 while Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard continued her return to form with a 6-4, 6-3 win over the sixthranked Cibulkova.

Former Wimbledon finalist Bouchard, who has now won consecutive matches at a tournament for the first time since August, stretched her lead over Cibulkova to 4-1 head-to-head and will face Pavlyuchenkova in the last eight.

Sharapova to make comeback in Stuttgart B E R L IN , J a n 1 0 (Agencies): Five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova will return to competitive action following a 15-month doping ban at the Stuttgart Grand Prix in April.

Sharapova was banned for two years after testing positive for meldonium.

“I could not be happier to have my first match back on tour at one of my favourite tournaments,” Sharapova said on the tournament website.

“I can’t wait to see all my great fans and to be back doing what I love.”

She will retur n to action in time to contest the season’s second Grand Slam at Roland Garros.

The French Open begins on May 22.

PL big guns get favourable FA Cup draws LONDON, Jan 10 (Agencies): Holders Manchester United and Premier League leaders Chelsea were both handed favourable home draws on Monday against second-tier opposition in the fourth round of the FA Cup. United host nearby Wigan Athletic, the 2012-13 FA Cup winners, at Old Trafford while Chelsea will also be strong favourites to go through when they play Brentford at Stamford Bridge in a west London derby.

Wigan are just one place off the foot

of the Championship and in a relegation battle. Brentford are mid-table.

If Plymouth Argyle can pull off a shock in their home replay with Liverpool their reward will be a home tie with Wolverhampton Wanderers, also of the Championship.

Manchester City travel to either Bolton or Crystal Palace and local pride will be at stake when Derby host Premier League champions Leicester City. The ties will take place January 27-30.

2026 world Cup to have 48 teams

Zurich, Jan 10 (IANS): The 2026 football World Cup will be expanded to host 48 teams from the present 32, FIFA’s world governing body announced on Tuesday.

“The FIFA Council unanimously decided on a 48-team #WorldCup as of 2026: 16 groups of 3 teams,” FIFA tweeted after the voting.

The tournament will have an initial stage of 16 groups of three teams. Two teams from each group will qualify for a Round-of-32 knockout stage.

Wo r l d f o o t b a l l governing body FIFA’s gover ning panel voted unanimously in favour of the change here on Tuesday.

The number of matches in the tournament will go up to 80, from the existing 64. But the

eventual winners will still play seven matches to claim the trophy, the same number as a 32-team World Cup. FIFA President Gianni Infantino mooted the idea of a 48-team World Cup last year.

He has previously advised the governing body to introduce penalty shootouts in group matches that end in a draw to stop teams from plotting a favourable result for both sides.

The 37-member FIFA governing body also had an option of voting for a 40-team tournament, with 10 groups of four or eight groups of five, but favoured the 48-team proposal.

European places at the competition will likely rise from 13 to 16. Africa and Asia could have as many as nine teams each.

At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil they had five and four teams respectively.

FIFA could decide by May how many entries each continent has.

The other major decision regarding 2026 - who will host the event - is not scheduled for

IOA drops Kalmadi, Chautala; to regain Ministry recognition

Suresh Kalmadi

Abhay Singh Chautala

New Delhi, Jan 10 (PTI): Forced to remove the scam-tainted Suresh K a l m a d i a n d A b h ay Singh Chautala as its life presidents owing to widespread outrage, the Indian Olympic Association is set to be re-recognised by the Sports Ministry which has welcomed the body’s decision.

I OA P r e s i d e n t N Ramachandran, in reply to a showcause notice from the Ministry, has clarified that the decision to appoint Kalmadi and Chautala does not stand owing to technicalities. “ I h ave n o t g o n e through the entire letter, I

have only seen the ticker.

We welcome the IOA’s decision that it has gone by its constitution. Our statement on the suspension clearly states that it will be lifted the moment IOA reverses the decision.

That has happened and we welcome it,” Sports Secretary Injeti Srinivas told PTI. The appointment of Kalmadi and Chautala has been declared “null and void” in order to not just get the recognition from Ministry but also to avoid any possible action from the IOC. Kalmadi and Chautala were elevated

to the honorary position a t t h e I OA’s A n nu a l General Meeting (AGM) in Chennai on December 27, but the Olympic body was forced to reverse its decision after it was opposed by a majority of IOA members.

Kalmadi declined the post till his name was cleared following the outrage, while Chautala said he would also step aside should the International Olympic Committee raise any objections.

“This is with reference to the letter dated 30th December suspending the deemed recognition of the Indian Olympic Association which is uncalled for a unilateral decision has been taken w i t h o u t h e a r i n g u s,” Ramachandran wrote to Srinivas in reply to the Ministr y’s showcause notice. The IOA chief claimed that although there was a proposal to name two life presidents at the AGM, it did not imply that the IOA had accepted it.

consideration until 2020 with a bid featuring the United States, either on its own or in conjunction with one or both of Canada and Mexico, an early favourite.

Increased revenue for FIFA due to more teams could be a driving force behind the expansion of its flagship tournament.

FIFA’s research has suggested that an expanded tournament would rake in an additional 632 million dollars profit on the current format, with the tournament revenue increasing to 6.42 billion dollars.

Infantino’s expansion plans have been criticised heavily by certain quarters but received backing from the likes of English Premier League club Manchester United’s head coach Jose Mourinho and Argentina legend Diego Maradona.
