ENPO asks ENWO to quit JACWR Urges govt. to indefinitely defer civic polls Sets deadline for withdrawal of nominations DIMAPUR, JAN 14 (NPN): Eastern Nagaland Pe o pl e s’ O r g a nisa tio n (ENPO), which had on January 4, 2017 decided to leave the matter of holding municipal/town councils polls in ENPO areas to the “understanding and responsibility” of the respective tribes, has now resolved to oppose the urban local bodies (ULB) elections (in principle) within its jurisdiction and asked Eastern Nagaland Women Organisation to “immediately withdraw” from the Joint Action Committee on Women Reservation (JACWR) in the larger interest of ENPO public.

Reiterating the ENPO Noklak resolution No. 4 dated December 29, 2016, ENPO president S Khoiwang Konyak and secretary MC Ongbou Chang in a press note said a joint emergency consultative meeting of ENPO with six tribal federating units and frontal units was held on January 14, 2017 at CKS hall, Tuensang in connection with the

impending issues relating to ULB elections in Nagaland.

The house resolved to appeal ENWO to immediately withdraw from JACWR and affirmed that ENPO general would not be held responsible for any future consequences and implications resulting out from non-compliance of its appeal.

According to the signatories, the house also appealed to all six federating tribal units to abstain from participating in the ULBs/ municipal and town council election. It also directed all responsible intending candidates to “withdraw their nomination on or before January 17, 2017 since it has serious legal implications upon the spirit of Article 371A.” The house has also cautioned that any individual under ENPO participating in the ULB elections against the general wishes of ENPO would be doing so at their own risk and responsibility.

Further, the house af-

ter thorough deliberation resolved to appeal the state government to indefinitely postpone the ensuing proposed ULB elections in the larger interest of Nagas till consensus decision of the Naga civil society organisations of Nagaland was arrived at.

The above resolutions were adopted after the house deliberated at length the matters pertaining to ULB elections in Nagaland vis-à-vis ENPO’s previous resolutions on the issue. At the meeting, references were also made to resolution No. 14 of October 28, 2011 at Tuensang Hq. and its subsequent reaffirmation on October 12, 2012 at Dimapur, Hotel Acacia resolution on August 17, 2016, the Noklak resolution on December 29, 2016 and the Hotel Saramati resolution on January 4, 2017.

The members present felt that accepting Central Act of Parliament at its present status form infringed the vibrant and age-old traditions and customary practices. They also noted that the state government has also failed to satisfy the clarification sought by ENPO on the issue.

Wokha distt candidates ready to withdraw nominations, claims LH

Lotha Hoho (LH) on Saturday claimed that most of the intending candidates for elections to the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) from Wokha district have expressed their willingness to withdraw their nominations.

The decision was conveyed during a meeting held at Town Hall, Wokha on Saturday in the presence of all Lotha frontal organizations, Wokha town public and surrounding villages, said Lotha Hoho in a statement signed by its president Mhao Humtsoe and general secretary Mhondamo Ovung.

At the meeting, three independent candidates-Zaremo Murry, Janponthung Ngullie and Abel Ennio-- signed their ‘Withdrawal Bond’. This was done so since Saturday was a no-working day and the office of the RO was closed, LH added.

State govt misled to extend date for nomination: NPCC DIMAPUR, JAN 14 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has charged the NPF-led DAN government of “misuse of power” in order to “mislead the innocent general public” with regard to the process of conducting elections to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).

Stating this, NPCC vice president Khriedi Theünuo pointed out that the government extended the last date for filing nomination for the February 1, 2017 civic polls to 3 p.m. of January 9,2017 on the basis the Nagaland Municipal Election Rules 2003. He said the SEC notification stated that the extension was being carried out under sub rule(7)of Rule 20 of the NME Rules 2003 .

However, Khriedi said NPCC was of the considered view that the sub rule as mentioned above was “applicable only subject to the provisions of sub rule(6) which stated that last date for nomination, scrutiny and withdrawal “shall not be public holidays”. Further, he cited that is any of the date of the above purposes were public holiday, then such nomination, scrutiny

or withdrawal “shall take pace the next succeeding day, which is not a public holiday”. He contended that as per programme schedule for civic polls issued on December 21,2016 the last date for nomination was January 7,2017, which was not a public holiday.

Further, NPCC said it was of the opinion that rules cited by SEC, which could have been done in consultation with the state government, did not have provisions for extension of dates for nomination because of “not receiving nominations”.

Hence, he said it was a “clear violation of election process by the concern authority” and so such misinterpretation was to mislead innocent general public by those at the helm to serve their interest.

NPCC said this was not acceptable and went against the interest of public as well as against laid down rules governing conduct of elections. In this regard, NPCC demanded postponement of civic polls and to reschedule only after implementing given rules for the general welfare or else it will not “deter to take the matter with the appropriate forum.”

ties were not traditional concepts not institutions of Nagas. Further JACWR stated that “various observations” by courts including Supreme Court have clarified that civic polls have nothing to do with Article 371A. JACWR leader expressed gratitude to the “government of the day” for calling for civic polls with women reservation and that it was proof that Naga women were ready to shoulder responsibilities as many women have filed their nominations despite stiff opposition from various corners.

Joint Action Committee on Women Reservation leaders also appealed to all tribal organisations to “desist from using threats and intimidations to banish, expel, excommunicate anyone” and instead to allow due process of elections to be completed “without any untoward incident or ill feeling.”

to Ao Senden’s resolution

DIMAPUR, JAN 14 (NPN): NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu has raised strong objection to the Ao Senden resolution (quit notice) against minister of National Highways and Mechanical, Nuklutoshi and the statement for calling him “so called minister of Nagaland”.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Dr. Shürhozelie reminded that Nuklutoshi won the elections from 22-Arkakong A/C by securing 8,544 votes, defeating his nearest rival by a margin of over 1000 votes.

He was then appointed as cabinet minister by Nagaland Governor under the recommendation of the chief minister and took ‘Oaths of Allegiance and Secrecy’ on May 24, 2014 at Raj Bhavan, Kohima, he said. All these steps were taken up strictly as per the provisions of Article 164 (1) of the Constitution of India, he added. Since then, Shürhozelie said the minister had been discharging his duties as a cabinet minister.

As a legally appointed minister, he said anyone calling him a “so-called minister” was an expression not only to disgrace minister Nuklotoshi, but the more serious issue was challenging the validity of the Indian Constitution. “As a result, the expression has become illegal,” he said.

He was performing his duties as a minister following the decision of the government to conduct Municipal/Town council elections, said Dr. Shürhozelie.

“If this is done intentionally, this will be viewed with all seriousness. But if this mistake is done emotionally, the best course for Ao Senden is to withdraw the resolution”, Dr. Shürhozelie said adding, such serious case as this, “tendering apology was not sufficient to cover up the mistake”.

firm against civic body polls

DIMAPUR, JAN 14 (NPN): Changtongya village and Akhoya village councils (Putu Menden) were firm against holding of the Municipal/Town Council elections, saying it was against the wishes of the stakeholders.

In a press note, chairmen of Changtongya village council, I. Kumzuk Lkr and Akhoya village council, S. Kilang Lkr said the election would be against the public sentiment and traditional landowners of both villages.

In this regard, they said the villages including All Ward Chairman Forum of Changtongya town had decided to boycott the “so called election”.

The councils reiterated that “if the state government does not positively respond to the demand the public”, they will continue to boycott the ULB elections even in the

future. The village councils further lauded all intending candidates for cooperating and abstaining from filing the nomination papers and thanked the public for supporting the boycott call.

Meanwhile, the councils also condemned the “modus-operandi” of the authority concerned for extending two more days for filing nominations. They questioned the authority as to how the latter had “arbitrarily shifted” to three locations within four hours to allow candidates to file nominations (Changtongya to Tuli to Chuchuyimlang) when there was no law and order problem in and around Changtongya town. In this regard, the village councils demanded to know “under whose power and authority such extra judicial power was exercised against the wishes of the peace loving citizens?”

NE states reeling under cold wave Agartala, Jan 14 (IANS): The entire northeastern region on Saturday reeled under a severe cold wave with the lowest temperature hovering between 3 and 8 degrees Celsius, weather officials said.

Tripura on Saturday recorded the lowest temperature of the current winter season at 6.3 degrees Celsius.

“Today’s (Saturday) minimum temperature in Agartala was recorded at 6.3 degrees Celsius and maximum at 23.5 degrees Celsius. For the first time in the last several years the mercury plummeted to 6.3 degrees Celsius,” India Meteorological Department (IMD) official said.

The official said that the capital cities of the other northeastern states have also witnessed the minimum temperatures plummeting to 3 to 8 degrees Celsius.

A party source said that that BJP election incharge Prakash Javadekar for the state and in-charge of party affairs of the state Prahlad Singh Patel were scheduled to arrive Sunday at Imphal to discuss the matters related with nomination of candidates.

As of now, the party is considering offering of tickets to the intending candidates selected by a high level committee of the party, the source added. For the matter, the party has already collected names and other details of all the people who desire to contest the forthcoming elections on BJP tickets from each Assembly segment.

Party leaders at the Centre were reportedly studying the matters as they were keen to offer the ticket to the intending candidate who have brightest prospect of winning the election.

As such, the party may not

invite applications from among the masses for party tickets, the source added.

Other political parties operating in the state were also preparing for fielding their candidates. For the two regional parties, Manipur People’s Party (MPP) and Naga People’s Front (NPF), there is no report of making pre-poll alliance for the time being.

However, some national level parties have already announced contesting the poll under a common platform under Left Democratic Front Manipur (LDFM) and are reportedly consulting each other for choosing candidates. LDFM was formed by six different political parties and the front is expecting fielding its candidates to as many as 40 Assembly segments out of the total 60 seats. The constituent member parties of the front are CPI, CPI-M, JD-U, NCP, AAP and MNDF.

Tripura troopers to be deployed for Punjab, UP polls

Khandu inducts three ministers into his cabinet

Agartala, Jan 14 (IANS): Two battalions of Tripura State Rifles (TSR) will be deployed in the upcoming Punjab and Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, an official said here on Saturday.

“Two battalions of TSR personnel led by Commandants Pinaki Samanta and Kerry Marak left here on Friday for Punjab,” a Tripura home department official told IANS. He said “The TSR personnel would be posted in Punjab according to the direction of the Election Commission and after the Punjab assembly elections they would move to Uttar Pradesh.”

The official said that following the request of the union home ministry the counter-insurgency trained force has been sent to the two states.

Assembly elections in Punjab will take place on February 4 while Uttar Pradesh would go to the polls in seven phases between February 11 and March 8.

“Besides providing security during Commonwealth Games in New Delhi in 2010, the India Reserve (IR) battalions of TSR were earlier sent to Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Haryana, Nagaland and Mizoram to provide security during polls,” the official said.

The TSR battalions, trained in anti-insurgency operations, were constituted in March 1984 to deal with terrorism. Seventy five per cent of the troopers are from Tripura while the remaining are from across the country.

I t ana g a r , J an 14 (IANS): Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Saturday inducted three new ministers, Alo Libang, Bamang Felix and Mahesh Chai, into his cabinet.

While Alo Libang represents Tuting-Yingkiong constituency, Felix is the elected representative from Nyapin constituency. Mahesh Chai represents the Tezu constituency in the state.

A statement issued by the Governor House in Itanagar confirmed this on Saturday and said Governor V. Shanmuganathan administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new ministers at a function held at the Darbar Hall in Raj Bhavan.

I mphal , J an 1 4 (IANS): Manipur’s apex body of Naga civil society organisations, the United Naga Council (UNC), on Saturday opposed the fencing work between India and Myanmar and appealed to Nagas to jointly oppose it.

UNC general secretary Milan Shimrey termed the move as ‘great injustice’ committed on the Naga people and said that such move to fence the border is bound to deprive the inherent rights of the ‘Naga family’ from communicating with each other.

Shimrey said that this ‘divisive’ policy of the Indian government will create a rift among the ‘Naga family’ and appealed to everyone to thwart the move.

“All the Nagas should oppose it as this border fencing infringes the rights of the Naga people,” he

added.

The fencing work is on at remote Pangsha village in Nagaland’s Tuensang district.

Earlier, the NSCN (IM), NSCN (K), Eastern Naga Peoples’ Organization (ENPO) and several other Nagaland based social organization had opposed the move to fence the India-Myanmar border in Nagaland, both sides of which are inhabited by Naga tribes since time immemorial.

The UNC has been continuing with the blockade of two National Highways of Manipur -- the NH 53 and NH 2 -- since November 1 cutting the supply lines to remote areas of Manipur in protest against the Manipur government’s decision to create seven new districts bifurcating some Naga inhabited areas.

Jallikattu agitations: 149 held

Madurai, Jan 14 (PTI): Determined in their efforts to conduct ‘Jallikattu’, people today mounted pressure on the Central and state governments by launching agitations against the ban on the bull taming sport, leading to detention of 149 protesters. The die-hard supporters of the sport along with major political parties in the state have been demanding an ordinance for conducting Jallikattu after the Supreme Court imposed a ban on it. While Jallikattu is held in Avaniapuram on Pongal day today, it shifts to Palamedu and Alanganallur in the district during the next two days.

While 68 villagers were detained at Alanganallur staging a rail roko, several groups of young men led by film director Gowthaman, were held at Avaniapuram bus-stand near here for demanding lifting of the ban on the sport, police said.

“To ensure maintenance of law and order and compliance of Supreme Court orders, we detained Gowthaman and 148 others,” Commissioner of Po-

got anywhere near the ‘Vadivaasal’ (entry points for bulls to the open grounds where Jallikattu used to be held).

In a village off Alanganallur, a youth climbed a mobile phone tower seeking nod for Jallikattu.

CPI state secretary R Mutharasan and PMK chief Ramadoss claimed that the protesters were lathicharged at Avaniapuram, and demanded action against those responsible. Police, however, said the protesters were only detained.

Meanwhile, BJP’s state president Tamilisai Soun-

dararajan told reporters in Coimbatore that the party had been hopeful and was expecting that the Supreme Court would give a favourable verdict on Jallikkattu.

But the postponement of verdict has come as shock to all, she said.

To a specific question on PETA writing to the President to dismiss the Tamil Nadu government if the sport was allowed during Pongal festival, she said the organisation had no right to make such a demand and that the animal rights group should be banned.

Khadi imbroglio: Tushar Gandhi attacks Modi Mumbai, Jan 14 (IANS): The great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar A. Gandhi, on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the wake of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) diary-calendar controversy.

“PM models for polyvastra (polyesterene). Bapu (Mahatma Gandhi) wore khaddar (khadi) to Buckingham Palace, not a Rs 10 lakh suit,” Gandhi said in a sharp tweet.

He added: “Haath me Charkha, Dil me Nathuram.

No sin in calling a spade a spade and a joker a joker on television,” and demanded shutting down the KVIC. Gandhi was referring to his iconic great-grandfather’s historic visit to Britain in 1931, when he met Britain’s King George V and Queen Mary, clad in his trademark plain loincloth and a shawl. In comparison, Modi wore a controversial expensive suit during US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in January 2015. In an earlier tweet, Gandhi said: “Tera Charkha le gaya Chor, Sun le Bapu ye Paigaam, Meri Chitthi tere naam (Your spinning wheel has been stolen -- a message to Bapu)... First, Bapu disappeared from few Rs 2,000 currency notes, now he disappears from KVIC office and calendar.

Replaced by Rs 10 lakh-ka suit loving PM.”

lice, Madurai City, Shailesh Kumar Yadav told PTI. He said while the police allowed the film director to address the gathering for about 15-20 minutes, but his speech became “instigating” later. On claims that symbolic Jallikattu was held in one or two places to show opposition to the ban, Yadav said, “No Jallikattu was held and nothing will be held. We are ensuring that law is followed.” He said all across the 27 km of the city and suburbs, adequate police personnel have been deployed to ensure that none

“There is no toilet.

Everybody gets his bottle, he goes out...and he returns after some time. If women are willing to move out in that environment, the women themselves need to take a call. Once the women are willing to take this kind of call, we will address this issue,” he said.

He said patrol can be for 20-25 days and the longest one to the border was in Arunachal Pradesh for 35 days. “Now at night, when you halt, all that happens is a blue sheet is pulled out and everybody sleeps under it together.

No one can stop us. We have to work. We have and we will keep on doing it. Increase activism, it doesn’t increase from preaching,” he said in his message on Makar Sankranti.

According to the district police, unidentified persons hung footwear on an arch leading to Bheemanagar, a predominantly dalit populated area sometime on Saturay night. The arch had a picture of Dr. Ambedkar prominently in the middle.

The discovery of the defiling led to a spontaneous outburst by residents and local organisations. Major roads in the town were blocked.

“One KSRTC bus was pelted with stones, while the panes of another private vehicle were damaged. We have deployed police forces in the town, and the situation is under control,” said SP Kuldeepkumar Jain .

New Delhi, Jan 14 (IANS): Nine deaths were reported from Uttar Pradesh as a severe cold wave gripped northern India on Saturday with Himachal Pradesh’s Keylong and Jammu and Kashmir’s Kargil registering minus 13.9 and minus 15.6 degrees Celsius, respectively, while the national capital here recorded its lowest temperature of the season.

According to the weather office, another spell of rain and snowfall was expected both in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir on January 15 and 16.

C h a n d i g a r h / Am abala, Jan 14 (IANS): Sparking a new controversy over the Father of the Nation, Haryana Minister Anil Vij said on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a “bigger brand” than Mahatma Gandhi but later retracted his statement as it attracted flak.

Vij, who is known for his controversial comments on anything, including his own Bharatiya Janata Party and its leadership, told media persons in Ambala that after Mahatma’s photographs were replaced with Modi’s in the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) calendar 2017, Gandhi’s picture would also be removed from currency notes. While the Congress lambasted the mindset of the BJP minister, the BJP distanced itself from the comments saying that his “views could be personal”.

Vij, the state Health and Sports Minister later on Saturday tweeted: “The comments on Mahatma Gandhi are personal. I am withdrawing this so that it does not hurt anyone’s

Anil Vij

sentiments.” However, he did not offer any apology for the comments.

Interacting with media persons in Ambala, Vij said that from the time that Mahatma Gandhi’s name was associated with Khadi (movement), Khadi had failed. “Gandhi’s name is not patented with Khadi.

“It’s good that Modi’s photo replaced that of Gandhi’s in the calendar,” Vij said. The minister did not stop here.

“Mahatma Gandhi ka aisa naam hai, note ke upar chipak gaya jis din se, note ki devaluation ho gayi. Achha kiya hai ke Gandhi ka hata ke Modi ka lagaya hai. Modi

ziyada better brand name hai aur Modi ki photo lagney se 14 per cent sale badi hai khadi ki (Mahatma Gandhi’s name is such that from the day his picture is pasted on the (currency) note, the note got devalued.

It is good that they (KVIC) removed Gandhi’s photo and put Modi’s. Modi is a much better brand. Khadi sales have increased by 14 per cent after putting Modi’s photo,” he said.

Asked why Mahatma’s photographs were still printed on new currency notes issued under the Modi government, Vij said: “Hatt jayengey dheere dheere (They will be removed slowly).”

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar also distanced himself from Vij’s comments.

The whole controversy started with Modi’s picture spinning the charkha donning the cover page of the Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) calendar and diary, instead of the iconic picture of Gandhi weaving Khadi on a simple charkha, wearing his trademark loin cloth.

With this the weatherman has predicted even harsher weather in the next few days as Siberian winds and a western disturbance were expected to bring down the temperatures further.

With the Uttar Pradesh capital registering a dip of more than seven degrees, at least nine deaths were reported from Kannauj and Kanpur rural since Friday, an official said on Saturday.

The Met office said that the mercury would dip steadily till January 19 after which the weather conditions might improve in the

state. All schools upto class VIII have been shut down till Monday.

The minimum temperature in Lucknow was recorded at 0.4 degrees Celsius, making it the coldest place in the state. The regional Met office said that it was the lowest in several years. Intense cold wave has gripped the Kashmir Valley as it passes through the 40day period of harsh cold -- ‘Chillai Kalan’ -- which began on December 21 and would end on January 30.

All water bodies in the valley were either completely or partially frozen.

Gulmarg and Pahalgam recorded minus 14.4 and minus 12 degrees Celsius, respectively.

Similar conditions were witnessed in most parts of Himachal Pradesh as prominent tourist towns like Shimla, Narkanda, Kufri, Kalpa, Dalhousie and Manali were likely to experience light to moderate spells of snowfall in the coming days.

Delhi on Saturday recorded its lowest temperature of the season with the mercury dipping to 3.2 degrees Celsius, four notches below the season’s average, a weather official said.

NEW DELHI, JAN 14 (PTI): Battling for equal opportunity for men and women, Army chief General Bipin Rawat said on Friday it’s up to women to decide if they are willing to join men in frontline combat role without separate and additional facilities.

“You have to see society as whole. I have said that if we induct women into combat role, they will have to share equal responsibility like their male counterparts because equal opportunity must come with equal responsibility. Which means that they will have to perform exactly the same task,” he said addressing his first annual conference in Delhi after taking over as Chief of Army Staff on December 31. Giving examples of the ordeals, he mentioned that when out on tanks, the men sleep under the tank during the night with no separate facility. Noting that women are present in

Unwanted confrontation

R

eservation of 33% of the total seats in elective bodies - Panchayats, Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and possibly assemblies and parliament-for women continues to divide opinions though not necessarily along gender lines since it is as contentious. Many have written and many continue to write and speak about the issue of 33% women reservation to ULBs in Nagaland since 2006. The issue has brought the tribe organisations and civil society groups on one side and on the other side, women leaders and state government. The NPF-led DAN has shown that it can shift its stand on issues depending on the situation of choice. This can be seen from how it first amended the Act in 2006 to include reservation and then after an unfavourable court ruling that went against it, the government passed a resolution in the assembly to reject 33% women reservation in September 22, 2012. After that, the government obtained a favourable ruling from the Division Bench with the understanding that it would seek to resolve the issue by coming out with some arrangement through wide consultations with all stakeholders-women leaders and tribe organisations. Strangely, since then the same government that retained power, somehow failed to do anything for almost four years. Again, after years of being comatose over the issue, the same government was pricked into activity when it jumped the queue in deciding to hold civic polls even before the state assembly was to reverse its own decision on the issue of 33% women reservation. Prior to the assembly session, the government conducted an academic exercise by inviting some tribe organisations (no women leaders) to discuss certain clauses with regard to reservation for ST/ SC and municipal tax etc and not specifically for the burning issue of 33% women reservation. When the reservation issue was raised by some tribe organisations and also sought more time for discussions, the government offered little. By brushing aside serious concerns that have yet to be addressed and as demanded by various tribe organisations, the government cannot feign ignorance that it would lead to unwanted confrontation between the stake holders. The flip flop of the government can be seen in how it reversed its September 22,2012 resolution that had been spearheaded by present chief minister T.R.Zeliang as then minister of parliamentary affairs. Without much debate or discussion on its flip flop on the 33% women reservation, the government steam rolled the resolution when no member was allowed to differ through a five-point whip on its legislators to speak in a dissenting voice. The government then reversed its own decision with least waste of time on November 24,2016 and cleared the decks for the civic polls. There are concerns on all sides, some real and some perceived. The concerns expressed by the tribe organisations and civil society groups should have been addressed in the interest of ensuring a clearer understanding on Article 371A. Similarly, the desire of some women who want to gain entry in to elective body like ULBs through reservation. Many have spoken words of wisdom and in all, the common theme heard was –dialogue. After all, Article 371A encompasses all people, both males and females and it should be utilised to benefit the state. It would have been better served if the government acted as a catalyst rather than a confrontationist.

DailyDevotion Called By God I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” —Isaiah 6:8 God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, “…who will go for Us?” The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone.

Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude. “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). That is, few prove that they are the chosen ones. The chosen ones are those who have come into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and have had their spiritual condition changed and their ears opened. Then they hear “the voice of the Lord” continually asking, “…who will go for Us?” However, God doesn’t single out someone and say, “Now, you go.” He did not force His will on Isaiah.

Isaiah was in the presence of God, and he overheard the call. His response, performed in complete freedom, could only be to say, “Here am I! Send me.”

Remove the thought from your mind of expecting God to come to force you or to plead with you.

When our Lord called His disciples, He did it without irresistible pressure from the outside. The quiet, yet passionate, insistence of His “Follow Me” was spoken to men whose every sense was receptive (Matthew 4:19). If we will allow the Holy Spirit to bring us face to face with God, we too will hear what Isaiah heard— “the voice of the Lord.” In perfect freedom we too will say, “Here am I! Send me.”

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Sunday, January 15, 2017

A

ll the legal Points and Constitutional Issues in connection with the 33% Seat Reservation in the Urban Local Bodies for the Female Gender that the Joint Woman Organization Nagaland has brought out in the local Papers on 13 January 2017 must be true. The Organization’s Statement is Right in the legal context.

The no-critical Nagaland Assembly and the naive, personally all very good Legislators have characteristically proven myopic in Principles in Nagaland contexts and brought this acrimonious controversy to Nagaland today.

In the universal democratic political context of Principles, the Woman Organization’s demand for special 33% Seat Reservation for the woman alone in the Urban Local Bodies while they share the remaining 67 % Seats freely with the Males, is UNREASONABLY INEQUAL. The Males are barred from the 33% woman’s Seat but the Women are free to share any of the remaining 67 Seats! All the Seats, 100% of them appertain to all bona fides in the Society irrespective of Gender but 33% are apportioned specifically separate for the Woman only. What an Inequity?

Article 243 of the Constitution of India may look at the Reservation as REASONABLE in its alleged view that “the Society limits the Women”.

Which Society does the Constitution of India have in Mind? The Naga Society does not look down on Woman.

In Naga Polity, Man and Woman have different Positions in Public Matters. This natural separate Position of Man and Women in Public Polity cannot artificially homogenize with Special Undemocratic Political Favor for Women in the Urban Areas.

The conditions of atmosphere in the Urban Area are the same for

T

he most unwanted statement of so called T.L. Angami in his article published on January 11 has hurt the sentiment of many Naga national leaders whose destructive opinion and Anti-Naga language has sown the seed of “ism” and “Ego” problem within the Naga society, it is also a matter of great insult to the Naga brethren who have sacrificed their lives for the common cause of Naga Political aspiration as well as to the living National workers who are voluntarily rendering their service to achieve it at any cost for self determination till date. On the other hand every mankind in born to die one day or other but the history will remain alive till the end of this world therefore T.L. Angami if you feel that you are a gentleman you should speak and act like gentlemen, indeed a person’s life is like a

both Man and Woman. There is no special need of political favor for woman alone in the Urban Area. If the female Gender in Urban Area needs special political favor, those Women in the Rural Areas have the same requirement too.

The 33% Reserved Seats for Woman in Urban Bodies is Unequal Political Favor, perhaps granted not for nothing from the sage Government!

The favor is not available in the Lok Sabha, it is not in the State Legislative Assembly; in Raja Sabha this favoritism does not exist. The 33% Reservation for the Urban elite Woman is totally unadvised, uncalled for and unnecessary in Nagaland condition today. There should be democratic Equality in Politic for all.

It is argued that the Single Bench Supreme Court passed judgment that the 33% Reservation for Women in the ULB does not impinge on the Article 371A of Nagaland. If the Supreme Court has passed such a Judgment, then it must be so. But Let Article 371A alone: The unwritten Article of Common Consensus Conscience etched in the Heart of the Nagas in the Naga Village Council from time immemorial is more conscionable for the Naga Society.

If Constitution says ‘Society limits the Women’ in India, it must be so.

This Writer did not find Article 243 in his Copy of the Indian Constitution Book. He enquired from another reliable Person’s Copy, but there also, it is not listed. It is not known whether the Article is repealed or not but a District Magistrate said it still is Current.

However, whether the Article is repealed or not; has no worry for the Writer because in the Naga Polity, the position of Male and Female Gender is different. The Male Gender’s Stand in the Naga Polity today is nearer the modern political

principle of ‘EQUALITY FOR ALL in the Assembly, in Parliament or in the Local elective Bodies. There should be no Special treatment for one Gender only, and like it or not, the Majority Decision is honored in Democracy.

This unwritten Magna Charta is etched in the Heart of the Naga Village Council. It is a kind of wild but is Pure Democracy. It may be unimaginable to other Societies. It was unimaginable to the civilized Authors of the Magana Carta long ago but the amazingly found it functioning “here and today in these People”. It is troublingly functioning in Naga Society today.

Some elite women may not like this, but Women are shorter sighted than Males in the long term historical Perspective for a People. Nagas are still in the threshold of their History and the Females may give weightier consider for the decisions of the majority rather than their short-term immediate election prospects. It is for the long-term historical perspective of their People that Nagaland strongly stands on the Indigenous Issue also where some woman may consider Woman Rights as more immediate.

There are many good Rules and Regulations in the Indian Constitution Nagas need to follow, but India also need to give spaces for relevant, conscionable unwritten Naga Practices the Parliament of India has already agreed.

Nagaland Assembly Legislators may like to read the ‘writings on the Wall’ and withdraw the 33% Reservation Regulation before the end of this Age after thorough and deep consultation with the people of Nagaland, and the woman Organization may also kindly withdraw their Case for the love of the Naga Society.

Rejoinder on ChepoketaIkiye village reconciliation

T

he Ikiye Village Council held an emergency meeting at Ikiye Village premises on dated 12th January 2017 in view of the “Reconciliation meeting between Chepoketa and Ikiye” which appeared in the local dailies paper. Taking a serious note, the Ikiye Village Council held a meeting and strongly resolved and declared to the general public and Hokheto Aye, Dubashi (retd) and Inato Aye Dubashe Satoi, son of Late Sakiye for misleading the public and defaming Ikiye Village, its Public and GBs which are as under:1. That the “Reconciliation Meeting between Chepoketa Village and Ikiye Village” that has appeared in the local dailies dated, 11th under the heading “Peace between the Naga Village after 65 years of animosity” and on dated 12th January 2017 under the heading “Chepoketa-Ikiye Village bury hatchet” wherein the Ikiye Village Council has no knowledge of the said reconciliation.

2. That, the Reconciliation between the two village which appeared in the local dailies was done in their own personal interest of Hokheto Aye, Dubashi (retd) and Inoto Aye Dubashi, Satoi son of Late Sakiye individual capicity and not as published on behalf of the Ikiye Village whereas the Village Council or GBs of Ikiye Village doesn’t authoize to any such person of such reconciliation.

3. That Ikiye Village Council has not received any official letter/ correspondence from Chepoketa Village Council or GBs or Hokheto and Inoto S/o Late Sakiye for the propose reconciliation of two

Rejoinder to T.L. Angami’s article

book which is read by others therefore even if you try to acclaim yourself as a great leader your words has determined and gives the picture of who you are. T. I.. Angarni you have mentioned that you have been constantly appealing to National Workers leaders for the unity in order to achieve the Naga common goal more over you were the one who have founded the G.Bs and Village Chiefs Federation of Nagaland (GBFN) besides you have mentioned about the Naga Plebiscite of 16 May 1951 under the leadership of His Excellency the 4th NNC President Late A.Z. Phizo where as it was not only your villagers but the freedom loving entire Nagas had participated in that historic plebiscite (99.9% had put their thumb impression.)

Therefore it is not necessary to mention any par-

ticular person’s name or village, but it was the Nagas who took part and made it a historic achievement. In fact in the initial stage the Naga leaders had made some mistakes on the other hand their tireless efforts had made great achievement just as the saying goes “to err is human” everyone makes mistakes and get slip in the large ground too. Therefore if you feel that you are a responsible gentleman never ever repeat the past mistakes which could lead to more fragmentation and disunity among us.

Infact it is obvious that Nagas lave legitimate right to he independent and sovereign nation and this is the birth right of Nagas. On the other hand you have mentioned about the framework agreement signed between the NSCN (IM) and the Govt. of India on 3rd Aug 2015 therefore (1) you are

strongly appealed to disclose the entire content of the framework agreement to the Nagas moreover as per your statement that says “so called Naga National Workers” this is a serious matter of insulting the other Naga Political groups by making the remaining NNPGs as unrecognized and illegitimate freedom fighters. (2) You are asked to give the meaning of the sentence “So called Naga National Workers” are they not fighting for Nagas? Are they not legitimate Naga National Workers? (3) You are also asked to clarify to the NNPGs whether the unification of NNPs is illegal, is this unity against the interest of Nagas? (4) When the entire Naga Political Groups are trying to unite together in order to achieve the common goal of Nagas what type of Unity do you want from Naga National Workers. (5)

Who are you and what authority do you have to order the Naga National workers not to send anymore messages or greetings or salute to the Nagas? (6) On which date and time and where did the Angamis has empowered or authorized you to declare not to give cooperation to the unified NNPGs. (7) Who had told you that Angamis are not less than the freedom fighters for the Nagas.

As stated above the so called T.L. Angami must give concrete answer of the above mentioned questions and tender an apology to the NNPGs and the Nagas in general for destroying the image of Nagas and advice to wipe out the mentality of “ism” and “ego” which can let further division among the Naga National Workers and various Naga civil organizations in general. Besides you as a person should be

Re-think of what one demands

hile not going against any intending women candidates/aspirants, I fail to understand as to why only “some” sections have been demanding reservations for POLITICS ALONE-- why not for jobs or education etc. leaving aside politics. If they were really concerned about women’s welfare or empowerment, the abovementioned subject should be considered as priority. In this regard we all need to have a ‘RE-THINK’ since the issues has gone far beyond coming to a consensus solution. If some people think that apex tribal hohos have no say over village councils what about those who have been fighting for 33% women reservation, under the banner of an organization. When the people’s voices and views have been clearly brought to light, why are only some adamant to go ahead for ULB polls with reservation. If some say women reservation has been put in place through the Constitution of India, but have we forgotten that ‘No Act or parliament’ can override the voices of the people (Article 371A). It was also a joke that the opposition-less government under the guise

of holding a consultative meeting, later went ahead to re-amend the September 22, 2012 resolution during the special assembly session.

This was done so, just as an eye wash to let the world know that they (government) went ahead with the approval of the apex tribal bodies.

Please know that in today’s world no one is a fool. The whole thing about being stubborn to hold the Municipal/Town Council elections is all about the money that has been kept on hold at the Centre. Does the government want to sell the Nagas rights, safeguarded by Art. 371A, just to get some few hundred crores? Those in the present government would enjoy the money as a short time benefit, but remember that a curse would befall upon generations on those who would twist and go against the peoples’ will.

Everyone clearly knows that politics or for that matter elections is the most infamous in Nagaland, where only ‘Muscle or Money’ power works its way out. Yes, women if elected without being involved with the two Ms (that is if), may farewell in governance. But in the

present scenario, it is if a farfetched dream, as I am sure that they too would be needing such resources (Ms) to win the elections, like the saying goes-- ‘Nothing is fair in war or politics’.

The whole point of reservation in politics kills the very meaning of a DEMOCRACTICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT. There were women who had won elections on their own merit.

So why not go for open election and let the people decide the best candidate irrespective of gender. The same amount of money and muscle power would be used even if it was to fight with another gender.

I agree that in India all women are not treated equal, in most places they are ill-treated, and in most places female infanticide is practised. However, we are fortunate that in Nagaland women are not treated like those in other places of the country. Men have high esteem and regards for women in a Naga society. Yes, except in areas of some traditional issues, everyone one enjoys equality. Even properties (as we say inheritance rights) in the present day, most families irrespective of tribes, are be-

ing equally divided amongst siblings.

On the other hand, if we allow any loophole to crop in by the Municipal/ Town council Acts through taxations and other issues, the whole meaning or importance of Article 371 A goes to the dustbin. Till today, Nagas have sole rights over land and its resources. Now with taxations by civic body for everything, even to the extent of seeking permission to carry out works in one’s own land/property, don’t you think it is clearly infringing upon Article 371A. The write-up has been made in as simple as possible manner to make everyone understand. I would be never ending to explain. But it is a fervent appeal to all particularly, to those activists and the state government to understand the present scenario and withhold the civic body elections until a consensus is arrived at with all stakeholders. Mind you, this can also be considered as a litmus test for Naga solution i.e. -- what if it was about Naga solution, I am sure we would not want such confusion?

That Hokheto Aye,Dubashi(retd) and Inoto Aye Dubashi, Satoi S/o Late Sakiye is not the bonafide Citizen of Ikiye Village whereas the aforementioned names and clains had already migrated to Itovi Village since 1st April 1987 and doesn’t hold any right to claim Kingship and to interfere any affairs of the village administration or aspiration under the name of Ikiye Village without the village consent.

5. That Hokheto Aye , Debashi (retd) and Inoto Aye, Dubashi Satoi claiming Hd.

6. That if, Chepoketa Village have a keen interest for reconciliation with Ikiye Village for committing murder of Late Sakiye Aye of Ikiye Village in the past decades by Chepoketa Village, the Ikiye Village Council is always welcome to restore blessing and reconciliation amongst the two Village whereas Chepoketa Village Council may initiate necessary Correspondence officially to the Ikiye Village Council.

very much mindful if you want to talk about Naga Political History because one Person’s error cannot destroy the history on the other hand just as the blood is thicker than water so also politics is thicker than blood, therefore each and every Naga National Workers shall not tolerate on wrong propaganda nor compromise with history made by vested individuals for their personal gain and shall not allow to destroy the genuineness of the Naga Political History for their personal interest with the motive to achieve their selfish goal by taking the name of Nagas who had been sacrificing their entire lives for the sovereignty of Nagas which is the legitimate birth right inherited from ancient forefathers since time immemorial.

Sir,

Winds of change

Change is inevitable. Human society moved forward by constantly evolving with change. Customs and rules must change with the times. Changing rules and customs do not necessarily mean disrespect for forefathers who made them but rather following the code why they were made in the first place. They were made to ensure order for a civilized society to exist and flourish. So why is the change of woman reservation for the committee elections not acceptable?

First of all only people who have an inferiority complex will feel their superiority threatened. Superiority and inferiority are also a state of mind and no one is a super powered super hero, everyone of us can break, man or woman. The question of man or woman being superior is childish. Society needs to evolve on all frontiers for the existence of a progressive human civilization. For achieving this we need capable and performance oriented people activated. If that person happens to be a woman well and good, what’s the difference? In fact she should be well supported especially when our home is also called disturbed area. We need all capable hands on deck. I thought we are all equal in the eyes of God or do woman have a lesser God? I believe man and woman are equal besides their physical features and they have always been involved in everything that has happened to humanity as I believe they are also human. Politics or picnic woman have always been there. It’s not that they were not there so if their presence becomes more open and defined what is actually the difference A capable woman is not a threat to man but rather more energy to get things done more gas in the tank to get to where we are going. Protests and blockades should be done by the woman for only getting thirty three percent reservation.

The hoarding that fuelled speculations about a possible SP-Congress alliance in UP.

Lu c k n ow, Ja n 1 4 (IANS): The Akhilesh Yadav faction of the Samajwadi Party seems to be inching closer to sealing a deal with the Congress, even as the Election Commission is yet to decide on the fate of the SP and its symbol cycle.

While speculation about a pre-poll alliance has been in the air for some time now, hoardings of Kannauj MP Dimple Yadav, who is Akhilesh’s wife, along with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have come up in Allahabad - fuelling the speculation. The hoard-

ings with pictures of both women figuring prominently have been put up by Congress workers - Anil Chowdhary and Irshad Ullah.

The slogan in the hoardings says “Mahilaon ka UP mein bajega danka, jab saath aayengi Dimple aur Priyanka” (Women in Uttar Pradesh will be empowered, when Dimple and Priyanka come together).

Ullah, who is general secretary of the district Congress committee in Allahabad, says the workers want this tie up to happen

at the earliest as this would not only consolidate the woman power but also prevent division of Muslim vote. This will stop the BJP from coming to power, he says.

There are many votaries who favour the Congress and the Akhilesh faction to come together.

Sources say, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has propped up his wife to negotiate with Priyanka Gandhi while he is working the wires with Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and his team.

Congress veterans like Ghulam Nabi Azad, state president Raj Babbar, party’s Dalit face P.L. Punia, are opposed to any such ideas as they feel that this could cost Congress further as it will bring the anger of anti-incumbency along.

With both Congress and the Akhilesh faction facing an uncertain future in the forthcoming state assembly polls, it appears to be a necessity and a done thing.

Propping up of the woman power from both sides is likely to play a cementing force, insiders say.

BSF jawan’s kin want CBI inquiry into complaint about poor quality food

NEW DELHI, JAN 14 (AGENCIES): A day after the Home Ministry submitted a report to the Prime Minister’s Office insisting that Border Security Force (BSF) constable Tej Bahadur Yadav’s complaint about poor quality food given to paramilitary forces guarding borders was unsubstantiated, his wife came out in support of him, saying that CBI should investigate the matter.

“We demand an investigation by CBI and not BSF’s internal inquiry. The BSF investigation would be biased as they will

definitely attempt to shield themselves.

Also, We aren’t able to connect with him (Tej Bahadur) for the past two days,” his wife, Sharmila told ANI. “If BSF allows Tej Bahadur Yadav to talk to press, then he would be able to make the people aware about the whole matter,” she added.

Earlier, the Home Ministry said it found no substance in the complaint made

by Yadav that poor quality rations were being given to security personnel posted along the border.

Amarinder seeks Congress permission to fight Badal

A m rits a r , Ja n 1 4 (IANS): Giving an interesting turn to Punjab’s politics, state Congress president Amarinder Singh has sought the Congress high command’s permission to fight next month’s assembly elections against Chief Minister and Shiromani Akali Dal patron Parkash Singh Badal from the latter’s assembly constituency of Lambi.

Amarinder, whose name has already been announced by the Congress for his traditional assembly seat of Patiala-urban, told media here that he wanted to contest against Chief Minister Badal from Lambi to defeat the Akali leader whom he blamed for the “ruin of Punjab”.

“I want to fight the Chief Minister on his home turf of Lambi as I want to defeat all the top Akali leaders responsible for destroying the state through their drugs, mafia and goonda raj, and are guilty of ruining its trade, industry and agriculture,” Amarinder told media here on Saturday.

Amarinder said he had requested the Congress high

command to allow him to fight the assembly polls from Lambi so that he could “free Punjab from the vicious and destructive rule of the Badals”.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is posing a serious challenge to the Akali Dal-BJP alliance and the Congress for the February 4 assembly polls on 117 seats, has already announced Delhi lawmaker Jarnail Singh to contest against Badal from Lambi.

Amarinder said he would fight the election both in Lambi and Patiala, if permitted by the Congress high command.

“The entire state is in shambles. Badal and his family and associates have brought Punjab to such a shameful pass,” the former Chief Minister said.

“My gover nment would open a probe into all Akali scams and punish every person found guilty of any criminal deed, especially drugs trade,” Amarinder said.

The Akali Dal-BJP alliance has been in power in Punjab since 2007.

He said that till December 8, 2016, out of 20,71,103 OROP beneficiaries, 20,06,003 have been paid the first instalment and lump sum amount.

“We have tried to reach out to each and every servicemen and in such a short time, maximum cases have been solved. There are around 20,000 to 30,000 pending family pension cases in connection with 1962 Indo-China war and 1971 Indo-Pak war.

New Delhi, Jan 14 (PTI): The Centre is sensitive towards all issues of ex-servicemen, including OROP, and aware of their grievances, but some “elements” are trying to project a negative image of the government, Union Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre said here today.

“Our Prime Minister, Defence Minister are sensitive towards all your questions. We will try to address your grievances but unfortunately some elements are making wrong statements regarding defence affairs and creating myth, which is not right,” Bhamre said on the inaugural session of the first Armed Forces Veterans’ Day here.

The Union Minister was joined by Army Chief General Bipin Rawat.

Criticising the previous government for not taking any action on ‘One Rank, One Pension’ (OROP), Bhamre said the Prime Minister has fulfilled his promises on this issue which had been pending for the past 40 years.

“The government had issued orders for OROP on February 3, 2016. The details regarding revised pension of different ranks and categories are available in 101 tables of implementation orders,” he said.

Gold falls on weak demand; silver recovers New Delhi, Jan 14 (PTI): Halting its four-day winning run, gold drifted lower by Rs 100 to Rs 29,350 per 10 gram at the bullion market here today due to weak retail demand.

However, silver recaptured the Rs 41,000-mark by rising Rs 250 to Rs 41,200 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders attributed the slide in gold prices to fall in demand from jewellers and retailers at existing levels but a firm trend overseas capped the fall.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity fell by Rs 100 each to Rs 29,350 and Rs 29,200 per 10 grams respectively. The precious

ter to RBI Governor Urjit Patel expressing concern over alleged interference by the central government.

The letter asked the Governor whether a recent media report, according to which the Finance Ministry had deputed a Joint Secretary-level officer to the RBI to oversee its currency chest operations, was true.

“If true, this is most unfortunate and we take strong exception to this measure of the government as impinging on the RBI’s autonomy and its statutory as well as operational jurisdiction,” the letter read.

“Having put RBI in a quandary, now the Finance Ministry has placed their official, as reported, on RBI set-up to ‘co-ordinate’, allegedly. Apart from showing RBI operations and its gigantic performance in poor light, the government now blatantly encroaches on its jurisdiction, which, we state strongly, we cannot accept.”

New Delhi, Jan 14 (IANS): A day after the employee unions of the Reserve Bank of India expressed their resentment against alleged interference of the government in the central bank’s affairs, the Finance Ministry on Saturday said that it fully respects its autonomy.

“It is categorically stated that the government fully respects the independence and autonomy of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI),” Finance Ministry said in a statement here.

“Consultations between the government and the RBI are undertaken on various matters of public importance wherever such consultation is mandated by law or has evolved as a practice. Consultations mandated by law or as evolved by practice should not be taken as infringement of autonomy of RBI,” the statement said.

The Finance Ministry’s reaction comes after some unions alleged infringement of the autonomy of the RBI by the Centre.

on the basis of current taxes.

“Revenues can be presented as it is with current taxes and a foot note on GST...

Changes can be made when the revised estimates are presented,” said a second government official.

PwC’s Jain says the government would have to work with certain set of assumptions and possibly create some kind of contingency fund, should these assumptions don’t work out. Buffer so created would make up for any shortfall that may arise due to any delay in implementation of the GST and difference between tax rates now and proposed under GST. The loose ends on the GST front that have not been tied up yet are also complicating matters for the government.

GST is planned as a revenue-neutral exercise, which means that the switchover to new regime should not impact overall tax revenues of the government, but some cushion will have to be provided for taking into account the uncertainties around the new tax structure.

it wants to continue with the current method of presenting separate estimates for excise duties, customs duty and service tax. Tax experts say lack of clarity over the rollout date for the GST regime presents a problem for the government.

“The budget is a challenge as neither the date nor the rates (which products would get classified in which bracket) are likely to be finalised by February 1. Further, the breakup of CGST and SGST still needs to be agreed between the Centre and states,” says Pratik Jain, leader, indirect taxes, PwC. Most government officials said it is unlikely that indirect tax rates would be changed, but it is possible that exemptions and other distortions in the indirect tax structure could be removed. The government could attempt at rationalising the structure in line with the proposed GST framework but rates may be left unchanged,” said one official.

One of the options is to go ahead with the taxation regime that is in force as of now and prepare estimates

DP-557

NEW DELHI, Jan 14 (Agencies): Uncertainty over the date of the goods and sevices tax (GST) rollout is posing a dilemma for finance mandarins as they finalise this year’s budget.

The original expectation was that the budget would not touch upon excise duties and service tax as they would be rolled into the multiple-rates GST structure, which was to come into being from April 1, 2017.

But with hopes of meeting the April 1 deadline receding, the government will have to quickly take a call on whether it will rejig indirect taxes in the budget to prepare for the launch of GST or leave them as they are till the new regime comes into force. The final decision could have ramifications on revenue estimates and collections for the next fiscal year as well as the levies imposed on different products and services. According to the GST constitutional amendment passed by Parliament last year, the current indirect tax regime will lapse

by September 17. “We will take a call next week,” said a senior government official privy to the deliberations on the matter. In addition to the rates, the government will also have to decide whether

New Delhi, Jan 14 (PTI): India’s exports continued to grow for the fourth straight month in December 2016, expanding by 5.72 percent to USD 23.9 billion compared to USD 22.6 billion in the same month of previous year. Imports too rose by 0.46 percent to USD 34.25 billion during the month under review, leaving a trade deficit of USD 10.36 billion.

Oil imports were valued at USD 7.645 billion during December 2016 which was 14.61 percent higher than oil imports valued at USD 6.670 billion in December 2015, the trade data released by Commerce and Industry Ministry showed.

However, Impor ts dipped 7.42 percent to USD 275.3 billion. Trade deficit during the nine-month period stood at USD 76.54 billion as against USD 100 billion in the same period last year.

Police earlier said the name ‘Rajib Gandhi’ surfaced during the July 1 Holey Artisan Bakery attack.

Investigators said they came to know that he was the “commander” of NeoJMB for the northern districts.

He was quite young when he joined the mainstream JMB, which carried out synchronised bomb attacks across Bangladesh in 2005. Rajib had close connections with Tamim, the mastermind of the café siege, who was killed last year.

In September 2016, Islam told the media that A l a m h a d p e r s o n a l ly trained them.

The police had earlier said they were on the trail of ‘Rajib Gandhi’ and Basaruzzaman alias Chocolate, after recent raids that led to the deaths of terrorists Tamim Chowdhury, former Bangladesh Army major Jahidul Islam, Tanvir Qaderi and Nurul Islam Marzan.

On July 1, 2016, five militants took hostages and opened fire on the Holey Artisan Bakery in Gulshan, killing over 20 persons, mostly foreigners, including 19-year-old Indian Tarishi Jain.

you can clearly see the five countries establishing themselves as an economic force,” noted Kamath.

He said he believes the Xiamen summit will let people understand where the BRICS countries stand today, their current agenda and “how we could benefit by working in a cooperative manner”.

Founded by the five BRICS countries in 2014, the NDB opened in Shang-

hai in July 2015.

“The Chinese government has been very hospitable toward the NDB, enabling us to set up and operate the bank in a very short time,” said Kamath.

“All of these would not have been possible without the support and guidance we received from China,” he said.

In December 2016, the NDB signed its first loan agreement, providing 525 million yuan ($76 million) for a solar power project in Shanghai.

Kamath is pleased with the result, saying “the fact we were able to appraise our first project in a record time has set a new benchmark for the NDB to follow.”

Last year, the NDB issued three billion yuan worth of five-year green bonds, its first bond to raise funds worldwide for clean energy projects.

B a g h da d, J a n 1 4 (IANS): Iraqi counter-terrorism forces on Saturday liberated the campus of the University of Mosul and drove out Islamic State militants, according to military sources.

Major General Fadhil al-Barwari, commander of an Iraqi counter-terrorism unit, told Efe news that his forces had fully freed Iraq’s second largest university.

The troops stormed the campus on Friday from both the south and northeast fronts and managed to take control over several buildings.

Trump ‘willing to work with Russia & China’ Washington, Jan 14 (Agencies): US President-elect Donald Trump says he is willing to work with Russia and China, providing they cooperate.

Trump told the Wall Street Journal that newlyimposed sanctions on Russia would remain “at least for a period of time” but could then be lifted.

He also said the One China policy, in which the

US no longer acknowledges Taiwan, was up for negotiation. Meanwhile, a US Senate committee will probe claims Russia attempted to meddle in the presidential election. In his interview, Trump said sanctions on Russia could be lifted if Moscow helped Washington in the war against Islamic extremism and in other matters. “If you get along and if Russia is really helping us,

why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?” He said he hoped a meeting with President Vladimir Putin would be arranged.

With regards to Beijing, Trump said China had to allow US companies to compete by floating its currency.

But he said he would not label China a currency

manipulator the instant he took office.

He had questioned the One China policy last month, provoking angry responses in Chinese state media. Republican and Democratic leaders on the Senate Intelligence Committee vowed to follow their investigation “wherever it leads”. They will examine Russia’s cyber activity and intelligence practices.

Washington, Jan 14 (Agencies): The US House of Representatives has taken the first step toward demolishing President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law, known as Obamacare. Republicans passed a budget measure to introduce a bill - which Democrats cannot block - to roll back the law.

But members of both parties in Congress are concerned about a lack of replacement for Obamacare.

The political showdown raises a big question mark over medical coverage for more than 20 million Americans. The measure passed in the House nearly on a party-line vote, 227198, delivering a blow to President Obama’s legacy a week before he leaves office.

It instructs four committees on Capitol Hill to draft repeal legislation by 27 January. The Senate passed the resolution by 51-48 on Thursday. US patients await Obamacare’s fate “By taking the first step toward repealing Obamacare, we are closer to giving Americans relief from the problems this law has caused,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement following the vote.

“This resolution gives us the tools we need for a step-by-step approach to fix these problems and put Americans back in control of their health care.”

Kane hat-trick sends Spurs 2nd in PL

Harry Kane celebrates with team-mates after scoring a goal against West Brom.

Lo n do n , J a n 1 4 ( Age n c ies ) : H a r r y Kane scored a hat-trick as Tottenham beat West Brom 4-0 at White Hart Lane on Saturday to go second in the Premier League.

Spurs dominated from the start and struck twice before half-time, first through Kane (12) and then thanks to a Gareth McAuley own goal (26).

Kane added his second with a fine volley on 77 minutes and repeated the trick five minutes later, firing home from Dele Alli’s scooped pass to cap a brilliant performance from the hosts. The victory sends Tottenham, who also

lost Jan Vertonghen to an ankle injury, into second in the table above Liverpool, who face Man Utd at Old Trafford on Nissan Super Sunday.

It is also their sixth consecutive Premier League win, matching a club record they can break with three points at Man City next weekend.

The hosts controlled the opening half with West Brom uncharacteristically shaky in defence, and Tottenham swiftly took the lead. Kane, who had already s q u a n d e r e d o n e e a r ly chance, made no mistake with his second, firing in off the post from Christian

Narsingh records statement before CBI; alleges conspiracy

Narsingh Yadav

New Delhi, Jan 14 (Agencies): Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav, who was handed a fouryear ban ahead of the Rio Olympics for failing two dope tests, recorded his statement before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case on Saturday.

In his recording to the CBI in the ongoing doping case against him, Narsingh alleged that another wrestler mixed narcotics and banned substances in his meals and drinks to stop his participation in the Rio Olympics.

Yadav, in his recording, also said that conspiracy was hatched against him by mixing some banned stuff in his meals at Sports Authority of India (SAI) hostel in Sonepat, but he failed to provide any substantial evidence to support his allegations.

He, however, remains hopeful that soon he would be back on wrestling mat.

N o w, t h e C B I is preparing to seek clarifications from SAI officials in the matter.

Narsingh has been facing doping charges after the National Anti Doping Authority (NADA) conducted two positive anti-doping tests with methandienone on June 25 and July 5.

Despite getting a clean chit from the NADA, the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) had handed Narsingh a four-year ban in its ‘operative award’ on August 18.

Narsingh had submitted that the doping offence was due to sabotage carried out by Jithesh by mixing his energy drinks with prohibited substance o n e i t h e r Ju n e 2 3 o r 24. However, CAS had dismissed the sabotage theory, saying that the grappler failed to produce any real evidence in the matter while ruling that he took the “banned substance intentionally”.

On October 18, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) confirmed that the dope case has been referred to the CBI for further investigation.

Eriksen’s pass.

Tottenham added a deserved second when the Dane’s drive from the edge of the box took a double deflection, first off Jonas Olsson and then McAuley, wrong-footing Ben Foster in the West Brom goal.

Alli saw a smart volley correctly ruled out for offside as Spurs threatened to run riot, and only Foster kept the score respectable in the first half, twice denying Kane from close range before tipping his low drive onto the post.

Tony Pulis’ side failed to register a shot of any description before the break but went close less than 60

seconds after the restart when Matt Phillips dragged an effort just wide.

The Baggies manager soon introduced James McClean and Hal RobsonKanu and they improved, but Foster continued to be the much busier of the two goalkeepers.

His fine double stop kept out strikes from Toby Alderweireld and Vertonghen, and he also made impressive saves from Victor Wanyama and Kane again before the Spurs striker finally grabbed his side’s third.

Kyle Walker robbed McAuley on the flank and with Foster caught out of position, Kane expertly volleyed into an empty net.

Having missed the victory over Villa to attend the birth of his first child, Kane capped a perfect week by sealing his hat-trick with another volley minutes later.

Alongside Alli, the pair have now combined to score Tottenham’s last 10 Premier League goals.

The only worry for Pochettino will be the injury suffered by Vertonghen, who appeared to badly tweak his ankle in the second half.

An injury to the same ankle caused the Belgium international to miss his countr y’s quar ter-final defeat to Wales at Euro 2016 and he left the field after pounding the ground in frustration.

HYDERABAD, Jan 14 (PTI): Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin’s nomination paper for the post of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) president was rejected by the returning officer.

A source in the HCA said that Azharuddin’s application was rejected by returning officer K Rajiv Reddy who was not sure whether the BCCI has lifted the ban on him for alleged match-fixing and whether he is a HCA voter or not.

“His (Azharuddin’s) nomination paper was rejected by the returning officer on scrutiny. The returning officer wrote to the BCCI whether his ban

Mohammad Azharuddin

for match fixing has been lifted or not. The BCCI did not reply,” a source in the HCA said.

A n o t h e r s o u r c e, however, said that the returning officer should have written to the Lodha Committee instead of the BCCI.

There was also the issue of whether Azharuddin is enrolled as a HCA voter or not.

“I am sad and disappointed. I have been cleared by the court from all charges,” Azharuddin said when asked about the rejection of his nomination.

Azharuddin had filed his nomination for the top post in HCA earlier this week.

Azharuddin, who led India in three successive World Cups (1992, 1996, 1999), has been banned for life by the BCCI for his alleged involvement in the match-fixing scandal that rocked Indian cricket in 2000.

KAGSA sports meet from Jan 17 Kohima, Jan 14 (NPN): The 37th Khezha Area Games and Sports Association (KAGSA) sport meet will be held from January 17-19 at Khezhakeno village, Phek.

KAGSA has informed all the respective units under the Khezha Area Games and Sports Association (KAGSA) to come prepared with their respective teams and participate in the sports meet.

The gover nment had de-recognised AITA recently after Khanna was elected President for a second term till 2020 at sports body’s AGM in Indore on September 3 even as the veteran administrator refused to take up the post.

A I TA’s E x e c u t i ve Committee then elected senior bureaucrat Praveen Mahajan as the new President on December 1 but the government wants the Federation to hold fresh elections. AITA will have its Annual General Body (AGM) meeting during the

India-Spain tie in Pune from February 3-5 and elect a new President. “We want all Federations to follow the government guidelines. We have nothing against them.

We just want to ensure that proper procedures are followed as per the Sports Code. We will not tolerate any violation. Mr Khanna has agreed to hold elections,” Sports Minister Vijay Goel said. Before AITA, the government had forced Karate and Boxing Federations to conduct elections and elect officebearers as per the Sports

Code, which does not allow three consecutive terms to any official. After two terms of four years, the officials have to serve a cooling off period of four years to be in fray for another term.

K h a n n a s e r ve d a s AITA Secretary General from 2004 to 2012 in two consecutive terms before becoming President for a four year term till 2016.

It is expected that Praveen Mahajan, only the second woman to be AITA President, will be formally re-elected President in Pune.

NZ 292-3 in reply to Bangladesh 595

New Zealand’s Ross Taylor (L) walks from the field after being caught.

Wellington, jan 14 (Agencies): A patient Tom Latham carved out his sixth century to keep New Zealand afloat against a rampant Bangladesh on day three of the first Test in Wellington on Saturday.

While the left-handed opener calmly went about his work, Bangladesh were able to remove senior batsmen Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor after declaring early in the day at an imposing 595-8.

A t s t u m p s, N e w Zealand were 292-3, still 303 r uns behind, with Latham on 119 and Henry Nicholls 35.

As the strong northerly winds that caused havoc on day one returned in the afternoon session Saturday, Latham had taken a leaf

out of the Bangladesh playbook and carefully chosen the moments to punish the bowling.

With the pitch offering little, Williamson and Taylor were guilty of getting a start and then yielding their wickets unnecessarily with two days to play, with a draw being the most likely outcome if New Zealand do not crash.

A f t e r Je e t R ava l fell for 27, Williamson comfortably batted at a run-a-ball until he reached 53 and dabbed outside off stump to be caught behind and give Taskin Ahmed his maiden wicket on debut.

Taylor, in his first international following eye surgery at the end of November and needing one more century to equal

the New Zealand record of 17 held by the late Martin Crowe, charged into his work.

But on 40 he fell for a well-prepared trap and pulled a short delivery from Kamr ul Islam to Mahmudullah poised for the catch on the square-leg boundary.

Kamrul had also removed Raval, caught behind by Imrul Kayes deputising as wicketkeeper w h i l e B a n g l a d e s h ’s regular man for the job, and captain, Mushfiqur Rahim was being treated for knocks to his hands suffered during his innings of 159.

Latham remained unr uff led, facing 222 deliveries in his five and a half hours at the crease.

Mayweather, McGregor offered $25 mn each to fight

Floyd Mayweather

Conor McGregor

LOS ANGELES, Jan 14 (Agencies): The possibility of a duel between boxer Floyd Mayweather and mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor got another boost on Friday as Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White said he’d pay each $25 million to meet.

White, president of the popular UFC mixed mar tial ar ts brand in which Ireland’s McGregor stars, seemed to indicate

in his comments on a Fox radio broadcast that the two would meet in a boxing ring, not the UFC octagon.

In addition to $25 million apiece, White said, each fighter would get a cut of pay-per-view proceeds.

“If they’re going to box, Floyd looks at this as an easy boxing match for him,” White said. “Conor McGregor is his money fight. Tell you what, Floyd, here’s a real offer - and I’m

the guy who can make the offer - we’ll pay you $25 million and Conor $25 million.”

White scoffed at Mayweather’s claim this week that he’d offered McGregor $15 million to climb into the ring with him.

Mayweather, who retired in 2015 with a perfect 49-0 record, told ESPN’s First Take program that a McGregor bout was the only thing that could tempt him to end his exile from the ring.

M ay we a t h e r s a i d he’d talked to McGregor’s representatives.

“They know what my number is. My number is a guaranteed $100 million,” he said, adding that he considered himself the “A-side” of the promotion.

“To think that you’re the ‘A’ side ... how are you the ‘A’ side?” White said.

“He’s claiming he’s made offers.

He hasn’t made offers to anybody. I just made a real offer. Conor McGregor w i l l f i g h t a n y b o d y, anywhere, anytime, and there is a line of guys he’ll fight who’ll do more than 1 million pay-per-view buys.”

McGregor became the first man to simultaneously hold UFC titles in two weight divisions when he beat Eddie Alvarez in New York on November 12.

At the end of November he was issued a boxing license in the state of California in a development that fueled speculation about a showdown between him and Mayweather.
