DAN most corrupt govt: NPCC DEMANDS t.r. zeliang’s resignation or governor step in

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 4 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has demanded that the beleaguered chief minister T.R. Zeliang “resign from office or the Governor should step in to dismiss the government without further delay”, in the light of the Governor’s attack on his own government and the NPF ally BJP’s candid admission of DAN being corrupt.

This was contained in a statement issued by NPCC working president Ayang Aonok who had attacked the DAN government under T.R. Zeliang on various corruption issues and the series of ultimatum served on the government over corruption and mismanagement by various organisations.

NPCC cited the anguish expressed by the Governor of Nagaland at a press conference in Kohima on November 10 over the manner in which funds were siphoned off and appealing to people to catch those siphoning money.

It said such a candid manner in which a Governor expressed anguish in the

Govt to pump more funds to DoNER, NEC

Correspondent

SHILLONG, NOV 14: Union Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal on Monday promised more funds to DoNER ministry and the North Eastern Council (NEC) for the development of the region.

“Whatever hurdles the NEC is facing in the implementation of the road sector they must review the ongoing projects quarterly.

I can assure you that in the supplementary demand or in the next budget your NEC or DoNER will get more budgets,” Meghwal told mediapersons here after a review meeting at NEC. He also informed that the NEC was proposing around Rs 2000 crore for the next budget for the various fields. “I am assuring you that the NEC will get proper budget as per the demand,” he added.

The minister instructed NEC officials to focus on Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) to connect the eight North Eastern states digitally.

“OFC connectivity should reach Panchayat Level so that Direct Benefit Transfer to the common public will be a reality. Unless we do more work in the digital India scheme we cannot fulfill the programme DBT,” he said.

This is it!

“Sir, here’s your salary with Rs.10 notes. Reminds me of inflation.”

media was “unprecedented” and spoke volumes of the morass that the state had landed in. Buttressing the Governor’s remarks, NPCC said NPF’s ally, the BJP had “boldly gone on record” to call DAN government as “corrupt” which showed that it had crossed all limits while people suffered in misery.

The NPCC said no government in history has been mired in so much corruption as the present DAN regime and which were pointers to the fact that Nagaland was headed towards a “despotic and kleptocratic regime”.

NPCC hit out at NPFled DAN for “lapses, blunders and corrupt practices” where voices of dissent were trampled upon by a dictatorial tendency due to “solid majority” that led to curtailing of assembly session to hardly an hour and debarring MLAs from raising questions in the house.

NPCC cited various issues such as the deteriorating financial health and the “can of worms” tumbling out of the DAN government despite its avowed closeness with the NDA government at the Centre.

NPCC said despite the present DAN government having a record contingent of Advisors in the state’s history; yet it has been afflicted with policy paralysis and mishandling of almost every issue which has led to “total collapse of governance”.

F u r t h e r, N P C C slammed the NPF-led DAN government for its treatment of employees with disdain where salaries have been withheld in many departments while backdoor appointments continue unabated and for which government servants were blamed for consuming a major chunk of the budget.

In particular, NPCC said teachers were being extolled but in reality, they were made to work as bonded labour without salaries for months; exemplified by throttling their legitimate demands for salary with use of water cannons.

NPCC said the DAN erred in joining the GST regime of one nation and one tax whereas Jammu and Kashmir has been exempted from the purview. However, it said that without proper consideration and despite

NEW DELHI, NOV 14 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday rejected the opposition’s demand to roll back the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes, saying the country has welcomed the move, informed sources said. Modi’s stand came at a meeting of the BJP Parliamentary Party’s executive, sources said.

Modi told the participants that the “country has welcomed” the move but the “opposition is trying to sabotage” it, the sources added.

Sources also said that Modi told party colleagues that the government need not buckle under the opposition pressure.

Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu clearly said that mood of the nation is in favour of the decision.

“No question of rethinking,” he told reporters after a meeting of leaders of the BJP and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which followed the BJP Parliamentary Party executive meeting.

Naidu said that all the NDA constituents termed the demonetisation decision as historic and in larger interest (Cont’d on p-7) of the nation.

Article 371A, the Nagaland legislative assembly ratified GST “in a hurry ostensibly to please the centre.”

It also hit out chief minister T.R .Zeliang for his U-turn over the issue of calling for election to urban bodies despite his role as chairman of the assembly select committee in 2012 . NPCC said Zeliang had tabled the resolution to reject applicability of Part IXA of the constitution he opined that it contravened provisions of Article 371A. NPCC also said Zeliang also recommend passing of a resolution to frame own laws for conduct of urban and town council polls.

However, NPCC said T.R. Zeliang “changes his stance at his whims and fancies” on crucial issues and therefore, urged the CM’s advisors to “bring him to sense and convince him to make an unequivocal statement on this crucial and sensitive issue”.

Taking a dig at T.R. Zeliang’s controversial educational qualification issue which is under litigation, NPCC pointed out the

Shürhozelie reacts to ACAUT’s statement

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 4 (NPN): Reacting to the statement of ACAUT, criticizing him for his letter to the chief minister pertaining to the Office Memorandum (OM)/service regularization, NPF president and DAN chairman Dr. Shürhozelie in a clarification said his best intention “was not properly understood by the takers. I will not blame anybody for it.”

While admitting that he had written a letter to the chief minister on March 28, 2016, Shürhozelie said it was to remind the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues of the proposals submitted by him earlier.

He said the first proposal was for adopting the Delhi model to have a Cabinet Appointment Committee headed by the chief minister to deal with transfers and postings of officers; and the second proposal was to withdraw the office memorandum on contract appointment and regularization of the services of those

appointees after completion of three years.

“It might not be because of what I have said so, but the Cabinet had taken decision banning appointment on contract/ad hoc basis with effect from 6th June, 2016,” Shürhozelie said.

According to the O.M. he said government employees appointed on contract basis prior to the ban notified vide P&AR Department’s O.M. No. AR-5/ASSO/98 dated 06/06/2016 shall be taken up for regularization on completion of three years service.

As practiced, he said after completion of 3 years service on contract/ad hoc basis, a person goes through the “Eligibility Test conducted under the chairmanship of the chief secretary” and only then the services of those who clear the test are regularized against vacancies.

He pointed out that all employees appointed before June 6, 2016 were done so

PM Modi firm on demonetisation, says no rollback

against sanctioned posts with the approval of the government.

“There is nothing wrong in it. It is not backdoor appointment. Government is now carrying out intensive checking on all those contract employees’ appointment and cancelling those who were appointed without government’s approval,” Shürhozelie stated.

While appreciating the wisdom of the government on the issue, Shürhozelie said he would “continue to support the candidates who were appointed prior to June 6, 2016 for regularization of their services after completion of three years”.

“Because they have their right to claim for it as per the earlier order of the Government. My proposal was to remove this order with a date line so that all new appointments will go through NPSC. As per the decision of the Government, 06/06/2016 is the date line now,” he said.

Lotha Hoho disowns statement on 33% women reservation

DIMAPUR, NOV 14 (NPN): Lotha Hoho, Wokha has disowned the press statement purportedly issued in the name of its chairman Mhao Lotha (official name-- Mhao Humtsoe), claiming LH’s support for 33% women reservation.

In a clarification, LH chairman Mhao Humtsoe and general secretary Mhondamo Ovung LH while refuting the statement said the matter of 33% women reservation under the Municipal Act, “is under examination and deliberation; by the hoho and that the LH has so far no concrete decision on the matter.”

LH said the hoho had for over a month, carried out enquiry and verification of the source of the press statement and learnt that the statement “was generated and passed on to media, by unscrupulous elements, without the knowledge of LH officials, in charge of press and media releases and (Cont’d on p-7) records.”

United opposition takes on Modi

Oppositon party leaders meeting Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad.

NEW DELHI, NOV 14, (AGENCIES): With millions grappling with demonetisation blues, a combative Narendra Modi Monday defended the action saying “the poor are enjoying a sound sleep, while rich are running from pillar to post to buy sleeping pills.”

His rivals made a common cause against him, terming his remarks as “insult” to people.

The decision of the Modi government, however, brought many of his political rivals come together on the issue, barely a couple of days ahead of Parliament’s winter session with representatives of seven parties-Congress, TMC, JD(U), RJD, CPI, CPI(M) and YSR (Congress)--discussing the matter. The SP, BSP and AAP, which have strongly criticised the government on the issue gave the meet-

ing a miss, besides DMK, AIADMK and NCP. Congress accused Modi government of unleashing “economic anarchy” and “tax terrorism” in the country and called for unity among opposition parties. Daring Modi to make public the bank details of the party at the central and state levels, Congress spokesman Randeep Surjewala alleged that a BJP functionary O P Jha had deposited Rs one crore in party account in West Bengal in currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 on November 8, shortly before PM announced their demonetisation.

Mamata Baner jee, who has been in touch with various parties on the issue, including arch rival CPI(M), slammed Modi for his remarks that poor are enjoying a sound sleep after demonetisation, saying it

was an “insult” to the common people. “He (Modi) has accepted garland of notes many times. But if a ‘dalit ki beti’ is offered such a garland, it does not become palatable for the Prime Minister, it reflects his cheap mentality,” BSP supremo Mayawati said.

CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury sought to pick holes in the demonetisation drive, claiming PM’s stated objectives including those of tackling corruption will not be achieved with the steps taken. He also claimed that the BJP-led government had gains in UP election in mind while making the move and reiterated his party’s charge that BJP leaders had prior information about the decision, referring to the West Bengal BJP depositing crores “a few hours ahead of Modi’s November 8 announcement.”

New front formed to battle Congress, BJP in Manipur

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 14: Five political parties, namely CPI, CPI-M, JD-U, AAP and BSP, joined hands and formed the “Left and Democratic Front” to prevent Congress and BJP from coming to power in the pollbound state of Manipur.

Interestingly, none of the regional political parties in the state including the three recently floated parties are included in the newly launched front.

“Other like-minded political parties are welcome to join the front,” said convener of the newly formed front, Dr Moirangthem Nara Singh of CPI who along with leaders of the other parties in the alliance announced the formation of the new front. The sole objective of the front is to prevent the ruling Congress in the state and the BJP from coming to power in Manipur Assembly elections due by early part of 2017, he asserted.

The front will fight against the favouritism and

nepotism of the present government and will field candidates in most of the assembly constituencies in both hills and valley, the former state minister said.

The partners of the new alliance have same objective and it took into account people’s objection to corruption and their desire for a change in the political scenario in the state, he said.

“People in Manipur now want a change considering the challenge against unity of the state and deteriorating condition of the society under the Congress government,” said the CPI leader. It was a unanimous decision of the front to prevent the Congress from returning to power again and power thirsty saffron party, he maintained.

Observing that distribution of cash, drugs and liquor for garnering votes would not bring peace and development in the state, other leaders were confident the front partners would put its efforts to bring about a new era based on the new

principles of electoral politics. The front’s manifesto would have a 35-point as common minimum programme which include upholding territorial integrity and unity of the state among others. The other agendas of the front are to abolish corruption, new system to take up development initiatives in the hill areas, check violence against women and children, legislation to safeguard indigenous people, repeal of AFSPA, guarantee employment for at least one person per family, political dialogue to end insurgency issues, etc.

The election in Manipur is likely to be held earlier then the expected schedule, that is, by the last week of January 2017 along with other poll-bound states of Goa, Punjab and Uttarakhand, a local daily in Imphal reported.

Quoting a well placed source, the daily further reported that election authorities in Manipur have intensified its due preparations for the polls which is expected to be conducted in one-go.

Support India on terror: Israeli Prez

NEW DELHI, BOV 14 (PTI): Friendship between India and Israel is at work “day in, day out” and is not a relationship “we should be hiding”, said Israeli President Reuven Rivlin as he pledged full support to India in fighting terrorism.

Mr Rivlin arrived today on an eight-day visit to India, the first by any Israeli President in nearly two decades.

In a wide ranging interview to Press Trust of India, the Israeli President acknowledged differences with India on the Palestinian issue but spoke warmly about the growing Indo- Israeli ties as the two countries prepare to celebrate 25 years of establishment of full diplomatic ties between them next year.

Pledging full support to India in fighting terrorism, Mr Rivlin said that his country was proud to “stand with India in its defence of the values of democracy”.

“Terror is terror is terror, whoever carries it out and whoever are its victims.

And we all have the duty to condemn in our words, and fight with our deeds against this terrible evil,” asserted the President, whose country is one of the biggest suppliers of defence equipment to India and is cooperating with it in a major way in dealing with terrorism.

Answering a question on “murmurs” in Israel that India keeps under wraps their relationship because

of close ties with the Arab world and domestic political considerations, Mr Rivlin said, “Israel is proud of our friendship with India and I believe that India is proud of its friendship with Israel.

“Again, this is not just a friendship of leaders and governments. It is a friendship between people in all walks of life, in all fields of study, in all areas of trade.

This is not a friendship we should be hiding. This is a friendship that we see at work day in, day out, at the very forefront of building a better world for Israelis, for Indians, and for all peoples,” he said.

In reply to a question on India’s continued support for an independent Palestine with east Jerusalem as its capital, Mr Rivlin said, “Friends may not always see eye to eye on everything, and as friends we can agree to disagree with respect and understanding.

“Israel understands and

indeed shares India’s desire to see a just and lasting solution to the conflict between us and the Palestinians. But no solution that may ever be found has a chance of success lest we work now to build confidence between peoples,” the Israeli President said, and asserted that Israel and Palestine need to work towards “direct negotiations”. Mr Rivlin, who is accompanied by a strong delegation of businessmen, will hold comprehensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow on key bilateral and regional issues. On the long-pending FTA, negotiations for which were launched nearly five years ago between India and Israel, Mr Rivlin said it is a “tool” that can have huge impact and boost the partnership.

As the two sides build and cultivate the growing partnership, there is a need to seek ways to help business sectors to work together in

an inviting environment, Mr Rivlin said.

“We need to supply them with the tools that will ease their way and will provide them incentives. An FTA is a tool that can have a huge impact and boost the partnership.

“Both Israel’s Ambassador in India, and India’s new Ambassador to Israel are playing an important role in this, which is a matter in progress and I hope we can see it signed in the near future,” the President said. He also asserted that his visit was a chance not only to reaffirm Israel’s commitment to continue building on all that has been achieved in the past 25 years of diplomatic relations, but to look at ways the two countries can work together to stretch even further the boundaries of innovation and imagination.

“Importantly, this visit will focus on three areas of this cooperation, namely agriculture, water and education. These three areas in particular highlight what our two great nations are engaged in - sowing the seeds for the future,” he added.

During his meeting with PM Modi, Mr Rivlin will reiterate his country’s invitation to Prime Minister Modi.

Asserting that IndoIsrael was a growing partnership and there is still much potential to develop it further, Mr Rivlin said Israel in particular has tremendous

Stalin raises doubts over statement of Jaya Chennai, Nov 14 (PTI): The DMK today raised doubts over Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s first communication since her hospitalisation that she had taken a “rebirth”, wondering whether it was indeed made by her since it had no mention of the “people’s sufferings” post the currency demonetisation move by the Centre.

DMK treasurer and Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly MK Stalin said “we are happy” if Jayalalithaa had recovered as mentioned by herself yesterday. However, “It is regrettable that there was no mention of the sufferings of the people,” he said, referring to the problems encountered by the citizens following the Centre’s demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes which has resulted in serpentine queues at banks and ATMs. “So, what I suspect is, whether she herself had released the statement or if it was someone else from behind the screen,” said Stalin. Later, in a release, the DMK leader said Jayalalithaa’s statement did not make any mention about the sufferings of the people following the demonetisation of high value notes. In her statement, she had only sought votes for the elections in Thanjavur and Aravakurichi Assembly segments and by-polls to Thirupparankundram, he said.

Children’s Day: President Pranab awards paralympian for ‘Exceptional Achievement’

New Delhi, Nov 14 (PTI): Revathi Nayak M, daughter of a farmer from Karnataka’s Devangere district and herself a Paralympian, today received gold medal as part of National Child Awards for Exceptional Achievements given away by the President on the occasion of Children’s Day. Revathy says her father has been the force behind her achieving the feat.

She started swimming when she was just eight years of age. A water canal from the local dam in her village was her “swimming pool”. Later, the closing of the dam threatened to jeopardise her dream.

It was her father who wouldn’t let that happen and shifted out of the village so she could have access

to modern sports facilities.

“My dream was to produce sportspersons for my country,” says Manjunath, Revathi’s father.

Manjunath is a former athlete and is grooming all his three children to sports.

His 13-year-old daughter Rakshita Nayaka plays for Karnataka’s U-16 cricket team. And 10-year-old son, Nakshatra Nayaka, is a national sub-junior silver medallist in swimming. “This is my way of living out my dream of being a sportsperson through my children,” says Manjunath.

He speaks about how often having two daughters was frowned upon in his community.

“I have always felt that my girls are at par with boys.

I put one of my daughters in cricket even though it is

considered a male sport.

In my village in Devangere she is the only girl cricketer who plays with all the other boys.”

Revathy, the gold medalist at today’s award ceremony, has a leg length discrepancy, or uneven legs, but that has not deterred her from winning at several international competitions and aiming for a medal at Olympics someday. Today, the 16-year-old has a silver medal in 50 metre breast stroke and bronze medal in 100 metre breast stroke at International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports World Games held at Prague in 2016 and in the Netherlands in 2015. She was also placed 6th in Paralympics swimming held at Pasadana of America at Rose Bowl Aquatics in 2014.

BJP calls Mamata ‘Queen of Saradha’ Nation pays tributes to Nehru on his 127 birth anniversary

New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): In the last one decade, the number of diabetes patients in India increased by over 30 million due to sedentary lifestyle and erratic schedule mostly common in the age group of 20-40 years, said the country’s leading diabetic experts on Monday.

Their statistics stated that in the early 2000, there were around 31.7 million persons diagnosed with diabetes and by 2015, the figure increased to 62 million.

“This change is due to the erratic food timings, sleep, unhealthy lifestyle, physical inactivity and other erratic patterns of lifestyle. Such changes in lifestyle leads to insulin resistance wherein body does not use insulin properly,” said Abhay Vispute, Diabetologist at Mumbaibased SRV Hospital.

Though genetic factors contributed to diabetes, Vispute said: “Urban migration and obesity due to rising social standards were the other reasons.”

India has been declared as the “world diabetic capital”, with cases to touch 70 million by 2025.

“Not only youngsters, even children between the age group of 12-16 years are detected with Type 2 diabetes. It is essential that they understand the importance of modifying their lifestyle, also, for those who are detected with diabetes, their siblings or children must also con-

duct regular check-ups,” said Tejas Shah, Diabetologist at the Holy Spirit Hospital, Mumbai.

The experts also said that 10 per cent of the prediabetic patients become diabetes patients every year.

Pradeep Gadge, Chief Diabetologist at Gadge Diabetes Centre, said an increase of 31 million among diabetes patients within 15 years was alarming.

“Diabetes at such a young age means lifelong struggle to keep it under control. It is essential to take appropriate measures.

Simple ways to take measures against diabetes includes, avoiding junk food, following an active lifestyle, keep check on weight and conduct tests at periodic intervals,” said Gadge.

World Diabetes Day is observed on November 14. Noticing lack of awareness and delay in diagnosis among the patients, Delhibased Primus hospital recently created a record by screening 900 patients in eight hours.

“It is essential for diabetic patients to not only monitor their blood sugar level but other diabetes inflicted health problems also,” said Ashok Jhingan, a senior diabetologist at Primus Super Speciality Hospital.

Exper ts have also raised concerns on the rising cases of blindness due to the diabetic retinopathy caused by diabetes.

Old habits

lections in Nagaland are reputed to be among the most expensive in the country where the role of money has gone beyond limits. The expenditure varies but generally, constituencies with around 20 ,000 voters have reported each candidate spending around Rs. 10 crore. If that is multiplied by three candidates it comes to around Rs.30 crore and which means that each vote costs around Rs.15,000. In a constituency alone with hardly around 12,000 voters, two candidates spent a total of around Rs.70crore in a certain by-election and which works up to around Rs.58,000 per vote. When elections arrive, there are no issues to debate but all attention of the people is either to base their support on tribe, village or clan or on getting money from the candidates. The church(NBCC) had waged a war against the evils of election and for a ‘a clean election’ in Nagaland, ahead of the assembly elections in 2012. True that elections in Nagaland among the most expensive in India that places a huge financial burden on candidates. It is also true that electoral malpractices in the form of bogus voters list, proxy voting, booth capturing, intimidation of voters through display of deadly arsenal, use of armed miscreants to abduct agents and workers, bribes etc have plagued elections since the mid-70s and spread across the state. On the eve of polling, several hours ahead of D-Day, there is an outpouring of money to household that are ‘fence sitters’. This means that giving the required amount of cash would swing the decision in favour of the candidate who pays more. According to rough estimates, the average expenditure per candidate for a constituency is around Rs.5 crore while it can be triple the amount in few other constituencies. All these and many more have been highlighted and one of them being the frequent ‘diktat’ issued by organizations, town or village councils to vote for a particular candidate or party. The Langpangkong Students Union has recently slammed the declaration (diktat)made by a particular village for a candidate. Such practices are quite common and come months ahead of polling. Such diktats are generally issued by some groups or villages. Though money may not be used as blatantly in some places; but the very fact that some traditional or village authorities or organizations issue undemocratic diktats have hijacked the democratic process. This is one issue that needs to be discouraged by the authorities because it is an open and clear directive to violate the very principle of democracy against a free and fair polls and without threat or intimidation etc.

Those issuing such diktats may feel they are only exercising their traditional or customary rights; but this feeling cannot override what constitutes and offence in democracy. Unless authorities act, this offence can ruin efforts for ‘clean politics’.

Nagaland Post had been writing about the kind of election campaign in Nagaland since the 90s. It is heartening that after over 20 years, the people are beginning to take the matter seriously.

DailyDevotion Discovering Divine Design As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me…

—Genesis 24:27 We should be so one with God that we don’t need to ask continually for guidance. Sanctification means that we are made the children of God. A child’s life is normally obedient, until he chooses disobedience. But as soon as he chooses to disobey, an inherent inner conflict is produced.

On the spiritual level, inner conflict is the warning of the Spirit of God. When He warns us in this way, we must stop at once and be renewed in the spirit of our mind to discern God’s will (see Romans 12:2). If we are born again by the Spirit of God, our devotion to Him is hindered, or even stopped, by continually asking Him to guide us here and there. “…the Lord led me…” and on looking back we see the presence of an amazing design. If we are born of God we will see His guiding hand and give Him the credit.

We can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the growth of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail. Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.

Beware of being obsessed with consistency to your own convictions instead of being devoted to God. If you are a saint and say, “I will never do this or that,” in all probability this will be exactly what God will require of you. There was never a more inconsistent being on this earth than our Lord, but He was never inconsistent with His Father. The important consistency in a saint is not to a principle but to the divine life. It is the divine life that continually makes more and more discoveries about the divine mind. It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.

Post-mortem A political limbo

here are no two varied opinions in the minds of ever y breathing Naga worth his/her salt to emphatically want to end this 70 years old suffocating and torturous journey chained to a chaotic political limbo that is desperately retarding Nagas from attaining their full potentials in every field.

Given a peaceful environment, Nagas are as good as any human beings on earth proudly able to stand their ground like any others in advanced Nations, if only we were not hell-bent on destroying ourselves. Nagaland has been bathed in the blood of thousands of martyrs whose deepest unselfish desire to protect their inherent freedom was honest and honourable.

Over the years, this uncontaminated “picture perfect” has repeatedly been tarnished and defiled by a monstrous industry called Factions. Each faction has lustfully hoisted a gigantic invisible flag called “money” on a very high mast at the centre of their HQs and continues to unsparingly exact their pound of flesh called “tax” from everything that moves in the name of “sovereignty” that they routinely spit upon by their despicable actions. Each faction carries a highly unyielding shiny ego to boot. To add woes to the common man, the opaque “Framework Agreement” has thrown up yet another unsavoury contentious subject in the form of “trust deficit”.

NSCN (IM) can only sees Nagaland as a fertile soil for their ruthless taxation that is throttling the livelihood of every family and the enthusiasm of current generation of young entrepreneurs but at the same time consider the people they tax unworthy of real consultation...and I mean REAL consultation that would involve a healthy intellectual debate. If this assessment describes the true perspective and intent of NSCN (IM) then Nagas of Nagaland must equally be prepared to exercise their right to declare themselves as unwilling candidates for taxation in response. Why pay tax to someone who shows no trust in us? This is a very legitimate question that NSCN (IM) will have to answer one time or another. The situation is slowly beginning to necessitate the re-enactment of the historic “Boston Tea Party of 1773” that declared “no taxation without representation” against the infringement of American rights under British Colonial regime. Nagas of Nagaland are unfairly being pushed to the wall and will ultimately run out of patience and declare “no taxation without truthful consultation”. Fair minded Nagas do not recognise the so-called “mandate” given to NSCN (IM) by our self-seeking elected representatives (MLAs) and the compromised NGOs like the Naga Haha. Conducting the present day series of “yes men” consultation is unacceptable to a civilised society. In this time and age, NSCN (IM) ought to have understood by now that they cannot continue to arbitrarily

dictate their ill conceived notions over the people just because they wield AK 47.

Granted that there are some educated Tangkhuls calling all the shots from the upper echelon of NSCN (IM) but to arrogantly write off the entire Naga population as an ignorant entity unlikely to understand the complexity of the “framework” contents is an unpalatable mother of all insults. If they can understand it... so can we! This outrageous superiority complex attitude needs to be set right once for all through a public debate on the non-transparent “Framework Agreement” with the best of NSCN (IM)’s ‘super intellectuals’ that they seem to assume of themselves if they have the guts to face the ‘ignoramuses’ of Nagaland. Their present ongoing public awareness campaign giving one sided ambiguous lectures of self-perpetuation on the impending future of the Nagas amongst the less receptive rural population is yet another example of poor judgement in their approach to consultation. Nagas have been living under perpetual apprehension and fear in general and are therefore unlikely to disagree that ‘an orange is an apple’ or ‘a cat is a dog’ if NSCN (IM) insists...but the times they are a changing. Take the challenge! Try the same lecture with a more resilient intellectual crowd in the urban centres which is advisably a wiser step to take to get to know our shortcomings! We guarantee...the Naga intellectuals will at least have that much in them to distinguish the difference between an orange and an apple or a cat from a dog and confirm it so to their pompous faces!

Having said this, it is a momentous time for every Naga, be they overground or underground, to look beyond their petty tribalistic ego problems with true Christian humility and think as one people with a common goal.

The official acknowledgment of the ‘unique history’ of the Nagas by GoI is an exceptional milestone achieved through the relentless perseverance and persistence of NSCN (IM). Honest credit must be given where it is due.

The Naga National issue is however, not an exclusive preserve of the factions in the frontline. Equal measure of brutal burden has been shouldered by the general population every step of the way thus far. One without the other would not have taken the struggle this far. Now that the “Framework Agreement” has presumably set a general direction for a negotiated settlement it is in the interest of the Nagas above all else to adopt an inclusive representation of all factions as equal partners on a common neutral platform and in fact also induct the best of brains amongst the Nagas to participate in the negotiation proceedings as well. This will automatically reduce the element of hyper suspicion currently running amuck. Given an inclusive participation scenario, any solution will

stand the test of time even if it were to fall slightly short of our original objectives. It is imperative for all Nagas to accordingly embrace this subject as the highest calling of National duty to stand together and work towards inducing the GoI to truly understand the Nagas and actually make them define this “unique history” in real terms. It necessarily means that we must clear the cobwebs within our own kitchen first and then come out with a united unambiguous message of what we want without further complicating the already complex agenda.

The first primary obstacle that we need to cross is the “ego bridge”. Forgive my candid expression and correct me if I am wrong but it is more than apparent even to a politically inexperienced amateur that Mr. Th. Muivah stubbornly wants to go down in history as the father of whatever gets born through the negotiated relationship with the GoI and therefore does not want to dilute his present undisputed fatherhood status by agreeing to a common neutral platform with other fathers from other factions. Hiding behind ‘National principle’ as a cited reason for disunity is not sufficiently convincing anymore.

However, appreciating the laudable landmark practically achieved thus far, we owe it to NSCN (IM) to at least acknowledge the leadership of Mr. Muivah as the Chief Negotiator, even in the event where all factions unite on a neutral common platform and put his mind at peace on the issue of leadership.

NSCN (IM) ought to know that the GoI is least bothered about the internal ‘National principle’ bickering amongst ourselves but will certainly pay serious attention to real “Naga unity” all the more which surpasses everything else at this crucial stage. It is a common knowledge that every Faction, including NSCN (IM), has blatantly committed multiple heinous omissions and commissions before God and before man and therefore this holier than thou charade must effectively be cast aside for good in the truest spirit of Christian reconciliation. Here again, the ‘principle of forgiveness’ as enunciated by NSCN (IM) is without an element of honour. If they are sincere in saying “please forgive us...because we forgive you too” then their uncharitable rider...”so now come and join us”...ought not to have been appended. Such forgiveness is hollow, shallow, insincere and far removed from Christian principle of forgiveness... provided we are all actually reading the same Bible. Real forgiveness should necessarily facilitate an honourable “neutral common ground” for all to unreservedly come together as brothers and as equals without loss of face.

When ground reality is analysed very carefully it simply boils down to the fate of an entire Nagas race hanging in a balance in the hands of one stubborn wilful human

being called Mr. Th. Muivah, who is the sole undisputed dictator of NSCN (IM) and also dictating the terms of the negotiating. Therefore, all it would take is for him to agree on a common neutral platform with other faction leaders on board and take the negotiation forward. No one doubts that this would excruciatingly be the toughest decision of his life hoisting a neutral flag after serving a lifetime under another. There are other equally hardcore groups who too vehemently believe that NNC must be the final flag under which the end must come. It is as much a difficult decision for other Factions as well to casually give up their present respective identities. This suggestion is therefore, not being proffered lightly. When compromises are to be made for a greater cause of common good, it is paramount for all parties concerned to bravely tackle difficult choices to meet halfway in accommodation to one another.

The bottom-line is: what earth shaking difference does it make if the final solution that all Nagas want across the board is actually brought home under a “neutral united flag” as long as Nagas finally find that settlement together?

After all, History is bound to faithfully recount and confirm the invaluable contributions and sacrifices made by each sector in course of our long journey to the final settlement and nationally honour their individual identities and contributions. This is a moment in history far greater than anyone’s personal ego.

This is a moment in history where the long desperate suffering of a people can be put to rest for all times and open a new chapter of hope as a land of opportunity. This is a moment in history to usher in an everlasting period of peace and progress where the generations to come can dream and look forward to a fulfilled life of achieving their fullest potentialities and be counted. We must decide to give our children’s generation a chance to grow! Destroying this awesome opportunity because of a self-cantered whim of a few selfish human beings at the helms will surely bring forth a curse for another 70 more years of suffering for the entire Naga race. At a trying time like this we need to remind ourselves of a sobering thought that at God’s appointed day we will all depart empty handed as we had come. All that will remain is the goodwill we leave behind. Let us do this!

Let us truly acknowledge the supreme sacrifice that has irrevocably been made unselfishly by the generation of brave hearts who have gone before us. Let it all not be in vain. It is our moment in history to make our own sacrifices and make this final call for unity and rid ourselves from this political limbo. It will be worth the sacrifice.

God Bless. Amen.

Protection activities scenario at Pangti village

T

hat, the protection of the international species Amur Falcon’s at Pangti Village is solely taking responsibility by the union called The Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union/ land owners union with some incentives/help from the Forest department but till date the union did not receive any acknowledgement nor helps/ volunteers from the Village Council. As such, the union request to all governmental and non governmental agencies/Tourist to kindly cooperate/intimates with its land owners union (the volunteers protectors) rather than the village council,while visiting the roosting place, so as to enable quality view of the birds.

That, as recorded in the union register in the reception point, till 10th Nov 2016, there are 405 distinguished visitors

including domestic /foreign tourists visited the roosting area. The first VIP visitor was Sir. Apok Pongener, Working President NPF Central & political advisor to Chief Minister Nagaland with his team on 23rd Oct 2016, followed by the ranking officers, the Satellite tagging team led by Dr.Suresh Kumar from Wildlife Institute of India along with the DFO Wokha Zuthunglo Patton IFS and DFO Doyang Lhingoikim Touthang IFS and NGOs team headed by Panu Haralsu director NWBCT. The union takes immense pride in welcoming, the Governor of Nagaland, his Excellency Sir, PB.Acharya for Visiting the Roosting place in spite of the pathetic road and weather conditions 0n 07thNov evening and 08thNov 2016 at around 06:30am and witnessed the millions of

birds roosting at one go.

The union acknowledged all the high profile visitors for bearing all the in convinces during their visit, the inputs provided and the grievances of the union, as his Excellency urges the need for development in the cited area of the birds. The union will highly be indebted if the said guidelines be put to work for the conservation and preservation of the species, which so happened to be called the pride of Nagaland and Pangti as capital of Amur Falcon in the world.

Lastly, I on behalf of the union welcome all bird lovers to the capital of Amur Falcon’s Pangti village and kindly request all tourist to fallows the do’s and don’ts restricted by the union.

Time to quash 16 Point Agreement and renegotiate Naga deal?

T

he recent press release in local daily dated 12th November 2016, “NLA has no power over oil fields and mineral resources: Petroleum Ministry”, has taken me aback if not others and I would like to know if Nagas are ready to allow such claim to subsist.

In the early period of the 1970s, Naga were unilaterally shifted to Ministry of Home (Internal) Affairs from Ministry of Foreign (External) Affairs by the Government of India (GOI). There is no record of rejection or repulsion in letter or spirit by the Nagas to my knowledge and I still can’t understand why we have ignored or given up. We have suffered a big India’s arbitrary blow and method of treating us by this shifting. It was an open act of betrayal to the 16th Point Agreement and a disrespectful conduct on the part of the GOI. Point No. 2 of the 16th Point Agreement became non-existent and invalid since then. It was not even found its mention in Article 371A. Nagas are today liable to question why the GOI had directly made a move to challenge the validity of point No. 7 of 16th Point Agreement. I don’t necessarily support the Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) Acts with regard to Nagaland Petroleum and Natural Gas (NP&NG) but, the contest of Petroleum Ministry that, Naga natural resources were directly under the Union list and that it does not fall under State and Concurrent lists thereby, arguing that nothing restricts (not even resolution of NLA is required for) the Parliament to apply any of its law on oil fields and mineral resources in the State of Nagaland is appalling and outrageous.

This is a very witty plot of the GOI to purge the 7th point mentioned in the 16th point Agreement.

The argument of the Ministry of Petroleum that Article 371A is not a source of Legislative Power of the State and that it was only plain words to restrict the application of Laws of Parliament is also a total misinterpretation of Article 371 A. The Act reads and I quote, “371A Special provision with respect to the State of Nagaland (1) Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution, (a) no Act of Parliament in respect of (iv) ownership and transfer of land and its resources, shall apply to the State of Nagaland unless the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland by a resolution so decides;”. This Act was supposed to incorporate all the Parliament acts inscribed in the constitution prior to or after the Agreement came about in 1960 which was later appended to the Constitution of India through the 13th Amendment Act, 1962. Therefore, Article 371A was supposed to preclude all other Articles in the Constitution of India for imposing in the land of Nagaland.

Nagas must stand together to quash and put to a conclusion the arguments Ministry of Petroleum (GOI). This is a breach of understanding and Agreement. Any natural resources in Nagaland, whether it is on the surface or under the ground belongs to the Nagas and we must assert our right unswervingly.

Such application or PIL should never be entertained and should be made illegal in future. They have no right to poke their nose into Nagas affairs as far as Naga resources are concerned. Nagas should not yield and we cannot succumb to this argument because the very existence of our people in our own land could very well be questioned one day and we may be treated as forcible occupants or outsiders, if the attitude of the GOI is to remain the same.

India is full of unabashed and opportunists, yet scheming lots. Nagas are not stupid but we are badly divided. Everybody agrees that we should have unity, but everybody holds onto one’s own stake and is not willing to share or compromise. While this murky state of affairs continues to loom over our people largely, everything has systematically been snatched away from us, right under our nose.

The Petroleum Ministry must withdraw the Affidavit petition. The NLA must immediately pass a resolution to this effect and notify the people. People of Nagaland should be on the war-footing to subjugate this move of GOI lest we become the Arab, and India becomes the camel, like in “The Camel’s Nose In The Tent” from the tale of The Arabian nights.

Remember the Camel’s Nose is already inside the tent and the storm still hasn’t yet passed through or, why not call for quashing the very 16 point Agreement, revisit its post era discourses and renegotiate since, the GOI has no respect for it at all?

Teachers salary and black money Sir,

SSA teacher’s were warmly welcomed by the govt using fire bridge services as solving their grievances with full tank of water released instead of pending salary. “Teacher’s are meant to be very respected but in our state are meant to be ignored or tortured” fighting for their right share.

We always talk about corruption mainly in our state but it was invisible due to black money which had folded their truthful heart but now is the time to be visible with bundle of Rs 500 & 1000 notes to be uncovered to use in dustbin.

Everywhere in India, corrupted leaders might be facing problem because only way to deposit black money is in “bank of dustbin” or “use as firewood”. One simple example, “easy earning will be profit but one day its brings pain in a wild gloomy face”. Only way is to ask forgiveness from the one who is in heaven. Heads off to our PM Narendra Modi for bringing new hope, to end up corruption in our India states.

Marrakech, Nov 14 (PTI): India wants a broad outline or roadmap for the implementation of the Paris agreement to be finalised at the crucial climate change conference here, Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave said Monday.

The Environment Minister, who arrived here to attend the high-level segment of the ongoing Conference of Parties (CoP22) which begins tomorrow, said India will push the world for adopting a low carbon lifestyle during discussions.

Asked about India’s stand on pressure from civil society groups on governments to put an end to coal usage especially with the country’s heavy dependence on it, Dave said a decision cannot be reached by becoming an activist but one has to think “holistically”.

“Whatever goals were fixed in Paris, the countries need to make route maps of that (here). Off course

Sumitra Mahajan pitches for prompt justice delivery New Delhi, Nov 14 (PTI): Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today expressed hope that the issue of delay in appointment of judges to the higher judiciary after the Supreme Court quashed the NJAC Act would get resolved soon and pitched for reforming and fast-tracking the justice delivery system to instill confidence in public.

“If far reaching judicial reforms are not initiated with a great sense of urgency and devotion, the image of judiciary may be eroded in the eyes of the public, thereby endangering the whole civil society and our democracy,” Mahajan said addressing a gathering at the 5th annual Dr L M Singhvi Foundation lecture here.

Symptoms of inefficiency haunt the courts, she said, emphasising that justice delivery system has to be fast- tracked.

“We have to think and act in terms of filling up vacancies for post of judges in the judiciary which is one of the reasons for delay in dispensing justice,” she said.

Anil Madhav Dave

it will be for the post 2020 period. But if we do not talk and decide about it today (in Marrakech) how will such big nations form their policies,” Dave said.

“If the Marrakech conference makes even a broad outline of it, it will be a big achievement for us and for the world as we will at least finalise the routes of the Paris agreement. We can do the detailing in the next two years. But major goals should be finalised. These are the expectations,” he said on the sidelines of an event at the India Pavilion here.

The CoP22 started on November 7 and will

go on till November 18 as nations continue their work on strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, with the central focus on enhancing ambition, promoting implementation and providing support.

Before the start of the conference, the Environment Ministry had said India will push the agenda of sustainable lifestyle at the global climate conference apart from focussing on the issue of mobilising finances, which has been its “overriding” concern, to tackle climate change.

Dave said India will push the issue of following a low carbon lifestyle during the summit which all nations including developed and developing countries need to follow and asserted that unless all the countries do this, talks will not yield results.

He also referred to the example of Delhi where he said despite pollution levels being high, people continue to burst crackers.

High incidence of children death itself ‘National Calamity’

Malkangiri, Nov 14 (PTI): Likening the death of at least 93 children due to Japanese Encephalitis and other reasons in tribal-dominated Malkangiri district of Odisha to a ‘National Calamity’, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan today said he would take up the matter with the Prime Minister’s Office and other ministries. The official death toll of children in Malkangiri went upto 93 today with death of one more child, official sources said.

Asked whether the Centre would declare the Malkangiri children death as a National Calamity, Pradhan said that “the death of around 100 children is itself a national calamity”.

Pradhan, who visited the worst-affected Palkonda village under Maoist-hit Korkunda block of the district under BSF security after Odisha Police refused to allow his visit, said, “I chose the village as nine children have died there.”

“Besides, a small school boy had written a letter to the Prime Minister to visit the place and see the plight of villagers,” he added.

Lok Sabha secretariat issues ‘Dos and Don’ts for media for Winter Session New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): Ahead of the winter session of Parliament beginning on Wednesday, the Lok Sabha Secretariat on Monday issued a list of “dos and don’ts” for media persons covering the proceedings, with one directive asking media persons not to interact or interview or photograph “anyone else other than ministers or MPs” without prior permission.

The directive comes as former Member of Parliament West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could very likely visit the Parliament premises. It also said that “no interviews or enlisting of responses would be allowed” in some designated locations inside Parliament House. “No media person including reporters of print and electronic media shall be permitted to take interviews or reactions or responses inside the portico of Building Gate No. 1, except during general and railway budget,” said the guidelines, which compris-

es 18 points. The ‘Guidelines for Representatives of Electronic Media including still Photographers’ also counseled that: “Media persons shall observe decorum in consonance with the dignity of Parliament”.

Parliament sources, however, made it clear that such guidelines are “routine affairs” and issued from time to time either ahead of the Parliament sessions or even during the sessions.

Another guideline said, “Media persons will not interact or interview or photograph anyone else other than ministers or members of Parliament without permission from the press and public relations wing.”

The winter session of parliament generally commences on the third week of November but was advanced this time as the government wants to pass among others the crucial bills related to Goods and Services Tax (GST).

However, due to some major developments during the inter-session period like surgical strikes by In-

dian army across the LoC to “destroy terror launch pads” and the demonetisation moves banning highdenomination currency notes have made the political mood surcharged.

The Parliament officials said the guidelines have been issued only to facilitate the media persons discharge their duties professionally without creating any hassles for the security personnel both inside Parliament House and in the Parliament premises.

The guidelines, said, “Under a self-regulatory pool system, two electronic channels (including one visual agency and an electronic channel) will be permitted to cover interviews, near Building Gate No. 1 and 4”. It further said the reporters may take “prior appointments” with ministers or MPs and “request them to approach the designated media stands for interviews and reactions”.

Indian wedding season hit hard after demonetisation NEW DELHI, Nov 14 (PTI): With demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes resulting into a temporary shortage of cash in the country, the big fat Indian wedding season has turned into a nightmare for both traders and families.

“Should I first pay the tentwallah or the jeweller?

I go through dilemmas like this every day. Thanks to the government’s decision to ban Rs. 500 and 1000

notes, I don’t have enough cash to pay people. Tomorrow, it will be some other person knocking the door for payment. The excitement is out of the door, the wedding festivity has turned into a nightmare,” said Rajinder Gupta, whose daughter is getting married on November 24.

Though Mr Gupta supports the government on this move, he said the problem is that it’s “ill-planned”

(From p-1) recent Supreme Court judgment, whereby it ruled that a candidate’s election be set aside for making false declaration on education qualification in the nomination papers. It said on the issue of educational qualification, chief minister T.R. Zeliang was “hiding behind legal nicety and refuses to speak the truth, unlike N. Rio, who had openly clarified through the print media.”

NPCC said the issue before T.R. Zeliang is merely to admit where he passed or failed in the BA examination, before people and nothing more or nothing less.

Taking a jibe NPCC said it was “hilarious and downright unethical of a per-

82% Indians favour demonetisation

son holding the position of chief minister to let his qualification known to the people through a cumbersome legal process.”

NPCC also referred to disclosures that have been made through RTI applications which had led to skeletons tumbling from all key departments. NPCC pointed out the petroleum adulteration issue as a case which it said, could have been handled with sincerity and sensitivity.

Instead, NPCC said the DAN unleashed police force to contain protestors, proving that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” and added that “insensitivity and callousness is the hallmark of the DAN government headed by TR Zeliang”.

(From p-1) Justifying his stand for defending the present contract employees, he said “all of them are educated Naga youth and not from any other place or age group.” He said the decision of the government on the matter was fully justified and his advice not to continue contract appointment was also fully justified. “If one looks at things with positive attitude, I may be on the same track with ACAUT. After regularizing the services of those contract appointees as the first phase, a secured job opportunity for our educated youth is ensured. Positive attitude is an essence of life,” said Shürhozelie.

New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): As many as 82 per cent Indians favour the government’s decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination currency notes, a survey has said.

New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): Associated Journals Limited, which published National Herald newspaper, on Monday also launched the beta version of its English website.

“Associated Journals Limited (AJL), a company founded in 1937 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, has launched the beta version of its English Website www.nationalheraldindia. com today,” said a press release issued by the Congress.

The Congress party announced in August that the National Herald (English) and Navjivan (Hindi) would resume publication. Both the newspapers had ceased publication in 2008.

“In keeping with changing times, the newspaper group resumes phased publication as a multi-media outlet with a strong digital presence.

“The digital website will follow the same editorial vision and principles as that of our founder, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,” the release said.

and “badly timed”.

“How can you expect a person with a marriage in his house to go and stand in the queue for hours? That too to get only a paltry sum of Rs. 10,000 and less, which ends up serving no purpose whatsoever,” he added.

The wedding season is the time of the year when traders do most of their business but lack of liquidity has led to problems.

New Delhi, Nov 14 (PTI): With banks struggling to cope with rush to get alternative currency, the government has extended use of old defunct Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes for paying household utility bills, fuel, taxes and fees and purchases from co-operative stores till November 24.

While withdrawing Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes from the night of November 8-9, the government had allowed use of the old currency at government hospitals, railway ticketing, public transport, airline ticketing at airports, milk booths, crematoria/burial grounds and petrol pumps for 72 hours.

C h e nna i , N ov 1 4 (IANS): Global credit rating agency Fitch Ratings on Monday forecast that inflation in India would touch Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) medium term target range of two-six per cent by end 2018.

In its bi-monthly newsletter the rating agency said: “Fitch forecasts that inflation will drift to the upper end of the RBI’s medium-term inflation target range of 2%-6% by end-2018.”

“The RBI’s policy stance between now and then will provide a clearer idea of whether the new inflation-targeting framework is truly a regime shift,” it added.

Fitch said inflation fell significantly and the rupee stabilised during the three-year-tenure of Raghuram Rajan as RBI Governor and so it was perhaps understandable that his departure created a few jitters.

Finance Ministry has carried out series of advertisements in newspapers assuring people that their hard earned money is safe and depositing junked Rs 500/1,000 notes of up to Rs 2.50 lakh in bank accounts will not be reported to the tax department.

is observed that demonetisation may not be a solution for tackling black money or economy, which is largely held in the form of benami properties, bullion and jewellery,” said the 109-page report.

Further, it said, such a step will raise costs, as more currency notes will have to be printed, cause an adverse impact on the banking system, mainly on logistics issues, make transportation of cash difficult, inconvenience the public and play havoc with disbursal of wages.

“Demonetisation undertaken twice in the past -1946 and 1978 -- miserably failed, with less than 15 per cent of high currency notes being exchanged, while more than 85 per cent of the currency notes never surfaced, as the owners suspected penal action by government agencies.”

It will analyse all data and impose tax plus a 200 per cent penalty in cases of unexplained high value deposits,” the official said.

Under Section 12 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, tax department can ask for any information from any agency including the Reserve Bank of India and cooperative banks besides all scheduled banks. To prevent misuse of the 50-day window provided for exchange of genuine holdings of the scrapped 500 and 1000 rupee notes, the tax department may resort to imposing tax and penalty even before annual Income Tax Return (ITR) is filed, the official said.

a daily basis, it will take 116 days to replenish the financial system with what has been declared illegal.

This also assumes that the total amount of currency declared illegal would be replaced with new notes.

It is not without reason a strong warning against demonetisation by the direct tax administration just four years ago, on what ill-effects it can bring and how futile the exercise can be -- all of which is waiting to play out in full bloom today.

“One common demand from the public is that high denomination currency notes particularly Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 should be demonetised,” said the report authored by the chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes in 2012, titled: “Measures to Tackle Black Money in India and Abroad.”

“In this connection, it

New Delhi, Nov 14 (PTI): I-T Department may slap a hefty 200 per cent penalty on unexplained high cash deposits in banks even before annual income tax returns are filed so as to prevent black money being converted into white during the 50-day window provided for turning in the junked Rs 500/1000 notes, a Finance Ministry official said. It is also collating data on spurt in deposits in zero- balance Jan Dhan accounts and will slap a 200 per cent penalty on unexplained high value cash deposits, he said.

After withdrawing old 500 and 1000 rupee notes, the government has allowed the banned notes to be deposited in bank accounts or exchanged for new legal tenders till December 30.

This has led to cash balances popping up in millions of Jan Dhan accounts, opened under a government scheme for beneficiaries to

either by withdrawal from their accounts or ATMs, or exchanged at bank and post office counters.

This, in 18 crore transactions, which has already made the banking system burst at its seams. In fact, on most days so far, and in most bank branches and ATMs, the money is getting exhausted even before the serpentine queues close in.

This does not go well with assurances given by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that it has enough currency to replenish banks for their disbursals. This, also after RBI printing presses are said to have started printing the new currencies several days ago, to create a good buffer.

Accordingly, even if we assume that the full amount of Rs 12,500 crore is being disbursed in Rs 2,000 denomination on

NEW DELHI, NOV 14 (IANS): Fifty days of pain is what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked people to endure for his sudden demonetisation move.

But going by the rate at which fresh currency is being disbursed, even this time will prove grossly inadequate to set the economy right.

As per data furnished by the Finance Ministry, Rs 17,50,000 crore worth of currency notes were in circulation in October-end, out of which around 84 per cent or Rs 14,50,000 crore is in the now defunct Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.

Against this, data furnished late on Sunday by the Finance Ministry said in the first four days -- Nov 10 to Nov 13 -- Rs 50,000 crore were dispensed to customers -- in Rs 100 and Rs 2,000 denominations --

Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac today said that a vertical division of assessees for collection of taxes and for the purpose of audit would create problems for small taxpayers. “ Ke r a l a , B e n g a l , Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Delhi, Odisha... majority of states want a combination of vertical and horizontal (dual control structure).

Below Rs 1.5 (crore turnover), states should tax, above Rs 1.5 crore, it can be vertical division,” Issac said.

D ha k a , N o v 1 4 (IANS): Bangladesh on Monday announced a cash reward of 100,000 taka ($1,265) to anyone giving information leading to the arrest of those who attacked Hindu minority people and their properties in Brahmanbaria district last month.

Police in Brahmanbaria made the announcement through loud speakers in the violence-ridden Hindu main areas of the district.

A violent mob vandalised dozens of Hindu temples and homes over an alleged blasphemy on October 30, Xinhua news agency reported.

Bangladeshi authorities said the mob attack in the district was prompted by allegations that a youth of the Hindu colony through a Facebook post did something disrespectful about one of Islam’s most sacred places.

The post from the account of Rasraj Das showed a photo of Hindu God Shiva placed on the photo of Kaaba, the most sacred and holiest place in Islam, which is located in the Muslim holiest city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia.

The Hindu youth later denied posting it.

Sofia, NOV 14 (Agencies): Bulgaria’s centreright Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has tendered his resignation, after a Russiafriendly Socialist candidate defeated his nominee in the presidential election.

Former air force commander Rumen Radev, a political novice, won Sunday’s election with about 59% of the vote.

He wants the EU to drop its sanctions on Russia and seeks closer ties with Moscow to help Bulgaria’s struggling economy. It is the EU’s poorest state.

Bulgaria used to be in the Soviet bloc.

Borisov had backed the centre-right speaker of parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva, who won just over 35% of the vote. The Bulgarian president has a big role in defence and foreign policy, but most key decisions are taken by the government. He has the power to send legislation back to parliament.

Radev’s triumph reflected widespread discontent with the government’s poor record on tackling corruption and poverty.

His success came on the same day as that of Igor Dodon, a pro-Russian Socialist elected president of Moldova. The coalition that Borisov formed upon re-election in 2014 relies on

Marrakech, Nov 14 (IANS): The World Metrological Organisation (WMO) on Monday said the global temperature is 1.2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and will set a new high for the third year running. It also said 2016 is the hottest year on record, 2015 the second hottest and 2014 in the third place.

“Another year. Another record,” said WMO Secretary General Petteri Taalas while releasing the report at the Marrakech climate change negotiations at COP22. He said the extra heat from powerful El Nino phenomenon

has disappeared. The heat from global warming will continue. The WMO on November 8 informed the parties and non-parties at the enviromental meet that while 2015 was the warmest year so far, 2016 is on track of being even warmer. On Monday, it confirmed its prediction.

The WMO said these alarming trends have resulted in ten-fold increase in “extreme events” globally, that is, catastrophic events such as cyclones, heatwaves, floods and droughts have become frequent in 10-year cycle rather than 100-year cycle.

Outgoing President Rosen Plevneliev is expected to chair negotiations to form a caretaker government, but early elections are expected as soon as March.

Radev, 53, launched his presidential bid as an independent candidate, supported by a group of citizens, and only later got Socialist Party (BSP) backing. He will be sworn in as president in January.

He reached out to nationalists by opposing the EU’s resettlement policy for refugees. That policy is also rejected by some other ex-communist EU member states in Eastern and Central Europe. Radev spent 27 years rising through the ranks of the Bulgarian air force. He also received training at the US Air War College in Alabama. Bulgaria joined Nato in 2004, along with other ex-Soviet bloc countries.

R i yadh , N ov 1 4 (IANS): A Saudi court has sentenced a company manager to one year in jail and 900 lashes for forcing an Asian worker to shave his beard in front of the employees, the media reported on Monday.

The manager threatened to suspend the worker if he did not heed the order, Xinhua news agency reported, without giving details on the reason behind the order.

The court said its verdict was based on the psychological harms that befell the victim.

Expat workforce is in high demand in Saudi Arabia, especially for harsh jobs which have low attraction among local jobseekers.

Saudi Arabia’s population grew by 2.4 per cent to 31.52 million last year from 30.77 million in 2014, according to a report based on the Saudi Department of Statistics and Information published in February.

The number of Saudis, who make up twothirds of the population, increased to 21.1 million last year. The number of expats rose to 10.4 million, it added.

described Priebus and Bannon as “highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory”. Priebus, 44, acted as a bridge between Trump and the Republican party establishment during the campaign. He is close to House Speaker Paul Ryan, a fellow Wisconsinite who could be instrumental in steering the new administration’s legislative agenda. During the election race, Bannon, 62, saw it as his aim to “bolster the business-like approach of Trump’s campaign”.

Bannon took over at Breitbart in 2012, when he promised to make it the “Huffington Post of the right”. Breitbart is linked to the alternative right movement - or alt-right - which tends to reject both left-wing ideology and mainstream conservatism. The movement often emphasises free speech and the right to offend. Opponents call it racist, anti-Semitic and sexist.

N

ortheast India Academy of Performing Arts (NIAPA) organized a mobilization camp “Kaushal Mela”, a training provider for skill development on November 14 at NIAPA Multi-Purpose Hall, 4th Mile, Dimapur, Monday with MLA and Treasuries and Accounts, Labour & Employment and Skill Development advisor Dr. T.M. Lotha as the chief guest.

In his speech, Dr Lotha said youths today were in fast changing society and

their expectations were increasing by the day for a better livelihood.

Admitting that government was no longer able to provide jobs for the youth and during such a time centre had come up with job oriented schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY 2.0) to skill the youth to be self reliant and sustainance, Dr Lotha said.

He added that the ‘Kaushal Mela’ was being held in order to create awareness about the pro-

grammes that were available under the PMKVY 2.0.

“People in most of the districts are unaware of such programmes meant to skill the youth and therefore such melas should also be conducted in other districts to create more awareness,” Dr Lotha said.

He voiced concerned that although the state like any other state in the country had a large youth force who lacked the skills necessary to get themselves employed.

He advised the team at

According to the author, ‘Self Determination-A resource for JustPeace’ is an encounter of people’s perspective and not of Naga political groups or the government.

In a prelude to the book, Longchari said ‘self determination’ was not a source of conflict of peace and how we determine it.

He clarified the book was not about Nagas’ but on Self Determination for peace and how people understands peace.

“Self determination

He said the book also includes imagination derived from encounter with people and expressed hope the book would provoke readers to ask questions out of the box.

Longchari asserted that ‘peace cannot be pur-

sued from a dominant culture’ saying it has to be ‘just peace’-through exchange of language of self determination which would continue to be relevant in the search for humanization.

Dr Xonzoi described ‘Self Determination’ as a concern running throughout the book and rich in meaning and purpose.

However she dropped serve at 5-all in the first set after netting a bruising forehand from Pliskova and the Czechs surged in front.

Pliskova and Strycova then broke again to move 3-2 ahead in the second, but the French pair responded to draw level at 4-all.

Mladenovic’s serve came unstuck once more though when Pliskova reacted superbly to dig out a volley and convert the decisive break point for a 6-5 lead as the Czech Republic extended their recent domination.

France had been seeking to win a third crown - the last of which came when captain Amelie Mauresmo inspired them to a 4-1 triumph over the United States 13 years ago.

“It’s tough to go away with the runners-up trophy when the one for the winners was so close,” said Garcia.

Bolt reveals retirement plans Rahane drops four spots L o nd o n , N o v 1 4 (Agencies): Usain Bolt has told Sky Sports News HQ his final competitive race will be in London next summer and he is walking away from the sport before he starts “embarrassing” himself. Bolt is preparing to retire from athletics after winning nine gold medals at three Olympic Games.

The Jamaican star insists he is not going to miss the dedication it takes to become the world’s fastest man. “The older you get the more you have to sacrifice, the more disciplined you have to be and personally I don’t think I have that discipline. I know when it’s time

to quit,” Bolt told Sky at his home track in Kingston.

Bolt hopes to add to his 11 World Championship golds in London next year before quitting the track. The 100m and 200m world record holder admits he sought some high profile advice before deciding to call it a day.

Bolt said, “I asked Michael Johnson ‘why did you retire when you were on top? You were dominating, no one was beating you’. He goes ‘I done everything I need to do in the sport’.

“If you get to a point where there’s no drive for you to train then just forget it, just stop or else you’re going to start losing races and

start embarrassing yourself.”

Bolt’s intense training regime and fun-time attitude is at the centre of a new film, ‘I Am Bolt’, which is a behindthe-scenes documentary chronicling his build-up to Rio 2016.

And the 30-year-old hopes it will help put him up there alongside the sporting greats. “Looking at Muhammad Ali and Pele and watching their films and watching them work hard and dominate their sports I’m like, you know what, I want to be like them. When I retire I want people to talk about me, the drive, the dedication, I want them to talk about me.”
