NPF defends govt over PDS scam allegations
DIMAPUR, DEC 14 (NPN): NPF has expressed concern over the sudden turn of events at Dimapur following the busting of the alleged PDS rice scam by ACAUT and CCN, which also resulted in closure of shops as directed by DUCCF on Wednesday. NPF media & press bureau in a press note however said “it is in fact the ill advice of those individuals who ordered to pull down the shutters of shops at a time when people from all over the state are thronging in Dimapur for Christmas shopping.” NPF further maintained that it was not wise on the part of some individuals and organizations to hurl wild allegation against the present government. Reminding that the government of the day was serious on all the issues raised by
individuals or organizations, NPF said “almost all the concerns expressed by the citizens of Nagaland have been examined and pursued with all seriousness”. It however expressed dismay, saying some individuals chose to take law into their own hands, which compelled the district administration to take cognizance of such activities. NPF said, the surprise raid on some godowns at Kevijau and Lhomithi colonies, jointly carried out by ACAUT with members of the Concerned Citizens of Nagaland, has rather “raked up more of clumsy rhetoric devoid of anything worth logical or ethical”. The godowns were sealed by unauthorized persons/group without the knowledge of F&CS or FCI, it added. (Cont’d on p-7)

Rio urges PM to set alternate date for ‘Good Governance’
DIMAPUR, DEC 14 (NPN): Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio on Wednesday appealed to the Prime Minister to choose an alternate day to observe the ‘Good Governance Day’ instead of December 25, the day of Christmas. While welcoming the initiative to observe Good Governance Day, Rio in his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, however said the date, December 25, fell on the birth day of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.

PDS issue: NPCC takes a dig at NPF-led DAN govt DIMAPUR, DEC 14 (NPN): NPCC launched scathing attack on NPFled-DAN government on the failure to deliver PDS scheme, when the Government of India has been allocating PDS items for every house hold in Nagaland.

Only 4% Sectt employees happy with job Correspondent KOHIMA, DEC 14 (NPN): Survey report prepared by Commissioned to the World of Work Network (CWWN) has revealed that only 4% state government employees at the Civil Secretariat say they were satisfied in their job, 48% disturbed by the way Christians conduct themselves at the workplace while 41% were found to be often discouraged by the way things function at the workplace. The survey also revealed that 35% employees disagreed to be a disciple of Jesus Christ at the workplace and 76% agreed that their faith drove them to be faithful and sincere in their work. Presenting the survey report during the annual Connect Event 2016 organized by CWWN at De Oriental Grand here Wednesday, CWWN member, Lily
T Metha, said there was a great divide today between the secular and the religious people in terms of the morality, which determined the way things function and work in many workplaces. She said the survey also reported that though only 5% nodded there was no connection between faith and dedication to work, 74% feel responsible that everyone ought to make a difference at their workplace. Administrative Training Institute (ATI) deputy director, Dr Hovithal Sothu, said “service to men is service to God” and therefore workplace should be a church and should be the temple and mosques. With about 1, 40, 000 employees working in the government, he said people were trained yet they become like a tiny drops of water in a desert when they go and face the department. Agreeing to the sur-
vey report that 74% feel responsible for change, Sothu, however, said when the spirit was weak, people get drowned into the system -- the wrong system, the adjustment system, the compromising system. H&FW joint secretary and panellist, Rajesh Soundararajan , said even as 96 % of employees believed they were not placed in the right workplace, as long as a person took it as a calling, then justice was done to the call. On being asked if spirituality should be strictly private, Soundararajan said there was a thin line between spiritual activities and spirituality. He said as long it did not disturb the harmony or hurt the others then there would not be any issue. The event was organized with the aim to foster conversations, forging relationships and fuelling people towards purposeful work and living. K Y M C

Therefore, many citizen who were enrolled in the previous years came with their RSBY card but it was of
no help. In this regard, the citizens of the Tseminyu town are in much tension since. Nagaland Voluntary Consumers Organization stated that when some citizens cross checked the enrolment list of Tseminyu village it was found that the citizens of Tseminyu town were enlisted in Tseminyu village. NVCO Tseminyu unit therefore has questioned the concer ned department as to who
prepared the list for enrolment to RSBY for Tseminyu sub-division; whether the authority know that Tseminyu town and Tseminyu village are two different places and that the authority should initiate appropriate action against the responsible officer for such blunder. NVCO also asked the concerned authority to fix another date for enrolment for Tseminyu town with corrected list for the benefit of the citizens.

Ibobi inaugurates Jiribam as new district of Manipur
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Dec 14: Amidst mixed reaction from various Naga based civil society organizations, Manipur chief minister O Ibobi Singh Wednesday went ahead in inaugurating Jiribam as fullfledged revenue district. The inauguration of the Jiribam as a full-fledged new revenue district was amidst strong opposition from United Naga Council (UNC) and other Naga based civil bodies. To protest against creation of Jiribam and Sadar Hills as full-fledged districts, the Naga body imposed indefinite economic blockade on the national highways in Manipur since November 1 last. However, Ibobi’s government ignored the intense protests by the Nagas in Manipur and ordered for creation of seven new districts taking the total number of districts in the state now to 16 on December 9. After inaugurating the Jiribam district which was curved out from Imphal East district, the chief minister planned to inaugurate Pherjawl district which was bifurcated from Churachandpur. However, it has been postponed “with the best reasons known to the authorities only”.Address-
O Ibobi Singh
ing the inaugural function, the chief minister reiterated that his government has created the new districts only for the administrative point and appealed the people not to misinterpret the government move. “Jiribam district was not created to appease a particular community but to ease the inconveniences being faced the people of different communities residing in the region”, he said. The chief minister assured speedy infrastructural development works at all the sub divisions of the newly created district. The state government also wished to resolve all issues in the fore through negotiating table without any violent. The notion of pressing authority to resolve certain issue with violent meant should be avoided, Ibobi said. Deputy chief
Ambitious and flamboyant: A look at Rijiju, BJP’s face in NE New Delhi, Dec 14 (Agencies): Junior home minister Kiren Rijiju is 45 and flamboyant with a liking for khadi. He also has a penchant for controversies. It is no surprise that the clean-shaven and bespectacled politician has threatened to thrash the opposition parties “with shoes” after his name was linked to an alleged scam in his home state, Arunachal Pradesh. For his colleagues in the BJP, Rijiju has always been the man who wears his heart on his sleeve and not shy of walking out on a party which he believes cannot fulfil his political ambitions. Rijiju first entered parliament in 2004, then just 33, as a BJP lawmaker but left the party after losing the 2009 election. He returned in 2012 and eventually got a ministerial position after winning the 2014 Lok Sabha election. Party leaders describe him as a man full of energy, always wanting to indulge in politics of patronage to build a constituency for himself beyond the limits of his Lok Sabha boundaries. “He walked out after realising that the BJP lacked organisation muscle in Arunachal to fulfil his chief ministerial ambition. He could not survive in the Congress either,” said a party leader. At the peak of nego-
tiations with the BJP leadership in 2011, he had told the party to wake up to the “reality” of northeast politics and tune its strategy accordingly. It is not lost on the party that the man seen as the flag-bearer of the Hindutva ideology in the northeast is a Buddhist himself. The response from the BJP leadership was not encouraging but Rijiju, then an advisor to chief minister Dorjee Khandu, had few choices but return to the saffron party. Between 2004 and 2009 -- his first stint as Lok Sabha MP -- Rijiju grabbed eyeballs in the BJP and the RSS with his “nationalist” stand, not a very common trait in people from the region. He was born in a village that came under Chinese occupation in the 1962 war. BJP had won both Lok Sabha seats in Arunachal Pradesh in 2004 but Rijiju was far more flamboyant and extroverted than the other MP, Tapir Gao. As an alumnus of Hansraj College in Delhi, he knew how to survive in the national capital. Gao would often remain in the backdrop when Rijiju addressed the media on issues related to the northeast. “Gao was more committed to the party and the ideology. But Rijiju was a smart politician,” another BJP leader said.

minister Gaikhangam highlighted the plights of the people of Jiribam saying that from today, the need for going to Imphal East district by the people of Jiribam will now be a thing of past. Gaikhangam further reiterated that UNC sponsored economic blockade was against the wishes of the people of all section of the society. He said it will only create disharmony among the different communities residing together in harmony since time immemorial. “It is a sin attempting to break Manipur,” he added. Besides chief minister and deputy chief minister, revenue minister I Hemochandra, commerce and industries minister Govindas Konthoujam, Jiribam MLA Th Devendra Singh, state chief secretary O Nobokishore among others attended the inaugural function, a DIPR reported stated. New DC Dr Harmit Singh, IAS, the first DC of the newly created revenue district welcomed the dignitaries. Meanwhile, an official source said that the chief minister will also inaugurate Tengnoupal district, the new district created by curving Chandel district on December 15.

RNCM appeals for peaceful co-existence
leaders further US Ambassador highlights Northeast UNC remanded to 7-day potential at Connectivity Conference police custody
Correspondent
Kolkata , D e c 1 4 (Agencies): US Ambassador to India, Richard Verma highlighted the challenges and potential for connectivity in the Northeast region at the Indo-Asia Connectivity for Shared Prosperity Conference held in Kolkata on Wednesday. Speaking of his travels across Northeast India, Verma said that the region is one of Asia’s most strategic crossroads; bordering Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Myanmar, and Nepal. Attesting that the Northeast is a region unlike any other with its stunning beauty, industrious population, and remarkable blend of culture, language and tradition, Verma added that while connectivity challenges are real, there are also important success stories and examples of what expanded connectivity can look like, reports Northeast Today. Highlighting some achievements in the region, Verma said “In Tripura, I toured a gas-fired power plant that is utilizing General Electric turbines to export 100 MW of power to neighboring Bangladesh. Another 100 MW in export capacity is expected to come on-line soon. I visited the Agartala-Akhaura border crossing, the second largest trading point between India and Bangladesh, with cross-
IMPHAL, Dec 14: Rongmei Naga Council, Manipur (RNCM) Wednesday appealed for peaceful co-existence of all communities in Manipur – both hill and valley. In a press statement, RNCM said it had taken strong exception and condemned in strongest term, the firing by unknown persons where a truck driver and his helper were injured at two places -between Awangkhul and Rangkhung and near Tupul of NH-37 (Imphal-Jiri Road) on the December 12 night. “It is an act of not only cowardice but it is an act of anti-people. It creates hatred and mistrust and enmity among the people of Manipur, particularly the Meitei and the Rongmei communities”, RNCM said. In this regard, it appealed to all to ensure that such actions were not repeated in the future. RNCM also clarified that the unfortunate incidents of firing at the running trucks were the handiworks of some unknown individuals and not by individuals from Rongmei community, and neither related to the issue of Sadar hills or ongoing economic blockade.

border trade amounting to over $ 60 million. Meghalaya is home to some of the region’s finest educational institutions, nurturing bright minds not only from India’s Northeast but from neighboring countries as well. Nagaland has embarked on a program to nurture the next generation of entrepreneurs in the region, leveraging innovation and technology to overcome developmental challenges. And Manipur and Mizoram have the potential to become gateways between India and Myanmar once local road and rail connectivity projects are completed.” “I also however witnessed daunting challenges facing this region. With its stunning mountains and forests, much of the Northeast presents real challenges in the building of traditional infrastructure. Simply moving from one state to an-
other can be a challenge. And while air connectivity has improved dramatically, many must use Kolkata or Guwahati as hubs due to limited inter-state flights,” Verma said adding, “With multiple states, countries and sometimes contradictory rules for the movement of goods and people, the regulatory and legal framework can also pose a burden. And ironically, some cross-border threats like disease, human trafficking and drugs, can often flow easily across states and countries, giving rise to multiple health and security challenges.” Verma also reminisced about the history the region shares with America, recalling the contribution of General Stillwell, under whose leadership the Stillwell road was constructed connecting Assam with China. Verma said that South Asia is one of the least economically integrated regions in the world with intra-regional trade as a percentage of total trade in the region languishing between four and five percent. Verma added that the Indian government’s initiative of improving connectivity in the region by a series of projects related to energy, hydropower, and transportation in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan is appreciable.

Provide jobs to youth to prevent unrest: Prez
Pranab Mukherjee addressing at the annual day function of CII at Chhindwara in MP on Wednesday. (PTI)
CHHINDWARA, DEC 14 (PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee today said that government and industry should work together to provide jobs to youth to avoid unrest and disturbances. “India’s population is 130 crore. Half of this population is below 25 years of age, and in working age group of 15-59 years, this population is 62 per cent. If you keep these numbers in mind and think for a while what would happen if such magnitude of people do not have their vocation and opportunity of maintaining their livelihood in a decent way,” Mukherjee said. The President was speaking at annual day celebration of CII’s skill training centre here. He said that the agriculture sector is over saturated now and it can support very low number of people. “These workforce is going to be an asset to us ... But if we cannot provide job
to them what will happen. There will be unrest, there will be frustration. There will be difficulties, disturbances,” Mukherjee said. He said that there are 36,000 colleges producing graduates but a large number of passouts are unemployable. It is estimated by the World Economic Forum that two-thirds of children who now enter a school will work in jobs that cannot be imagined right now. Mukherjee said India will have the scope for employment generation but lacks skilled workforce. The President said that a Skills Development Council was created in 2010 and target was fixed by 2020 to create large number of skilled workforce. “Unfortunately not much progress was made in that direction. As a result in 2014 with change of government, when new Prime Minister came he
Plea in SC demands CBI probe into Jaya’s ‘mysterious death’ NEW DELHI, DEC 14 (AGENCIES): A writ petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday seeking a CBI investigation into the “mysterious death” of the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa. Family members, eminent persons and political personalities are “raising doubts” about the circumstances of the popular leader’s demise, the petition said. The petition, filed by an organisation called Tamil Nadu Telugu Yuva Sakthi, sought the Supreme Court to direct the authorities concerned to disclose the health report and details of the treatment administered to Jayalalithaa. “All medical reports need to be examined by experts from the AIIMS and the court may seek an investigation if any discrepancies are found on the part of the doctors, officials or people who supervised the health of Jayalalithaa,” the petition filed through advocate D. Mahesh Babu said. The Supreme Court website shows the petition to have been filed on December 13 and given a
diary number by the court’s Registry. The status shows that the petition is under scrutiny. The petition has also sought the setting up of a committee under eminent persons like former Comptroller and Auditor General V.K. Shunglu to look into the government decisions taken from September 22 to December 5, the period between Jayalalithaa’s hospitalisation to her death. “It is a well settled proposition in law that transparency is an essential and integral part of governance,” the petition said. It contended that “not a single photograph or video of Jayalalithaa was published or telecast till her death and nobody was allowed to see her from the distance through a seethrough window or glass”. The petition contended that the persons present at the time of death of Jayalalithaa “were facing serious allegations of conspiracy” and had “once been sent out of the house of Jayalalithaa”. It also sought a direction to the Centre to investigate the “benami properties” of Jayalalithaa and her associates.

established to focus on this issue with Department of Skill Development. “A minister was entrusted with the job to focus and a programme was created over a larger period of time that by 2030 at least 500 million people are provided appropriate skill so that they get job anywhere in the world,” he said. The President said more than 60 lakh people are working in West Asia and Gulf countries alone which are sending large number of remittances back home which is helping India build foreign exchange reserves. He said that the average age in Europe and North America is increasing and India has the opportunity with its young population. “That (skill development) is the reason I have come to Chhindwara for fifth time and why I am participating in the programme of CII to celebrate their annual day of skill development.

He said that CII in coming days will make effort to set up such centres in all districts of the country.

RS passes disability bill NEW DELHI, DEC 14 (IANS): The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday passed, by voice vote, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2014, which expands the list of disabilities from 7 to 19, makes accessibility to public buildings, transport, polling station a mandatory requirement and provides for a national fund for welfare of the disabled. The bill, which replaces the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, has been brought in to comply with the United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which India signed in 2007. The legislation was pending in the Rajya Sabha since February 2014 as the term of the erstwhile UPA government ended soon after it was introduced. Moving the bill, Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment Thawar Chand Gehlot said campaign is on to fulfill vacancies related to the disabled. “The Bill would give more rights to peoples with disabilities. We have raised the reservation from three per cent to four per cent. We have announced to set up Divyyang University in Kerala. It will start functioning from next session,” he said. Supporting the bill, Congress member Karan Singh said: “By passing it we not only fulfull international obligation, we are fulfilling an obligation to citizens of our country. The bill was long overdue and would honour India’s commitment to the UN treaty on the subject.” Singh said that government must ensure that their
reserved seats are filled and also called for a public education campaign to teach people to treat the disabled with respect. “This is the civic value which we must develop,” he added. Naresh Agarawal of Samajwadi Party stressed that the disabled must not be harassed and get more quota in jobs, while Satish Chandra Mishra of the Bahujan Samaj Party demanded that the measure should be known as the Rights of the Differently-Abled Bill. Communist Party of India-Marxist’s Sitaram Yechury said: “We want this bill to be strengthened. The quota should have been raised to 5 per cent instead of 4.” The bill now is to be passed by the Lok Sabha.

The government keeps amending the lists originally notified in 1950 based on requests made by various state governments.
Try not to use pellet guns: Mehbooba to security forces
LETHPORA (JK), DEC 14 (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today asked security forces to restrain themselves from using pellet guns and differentiate between stonepelters/militants and their families, while noting that force was used to deal with law and order in the Valley during the recent unrest. “When we have to deal with such situation, we have to use force sometimes and I have no hesitation in saying this. We should all speak truth. We had to use force because we had to protect the lives and properties of all the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” she said. The chief minister was speaking at the passing-out parade of Jammu and Kashmir Police at Commando Training Centre here in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district. Mehbooba said if force was not used, losses would have been more. “If we had not done so, there could have been more killings, more losses. But now, our endeavour should be to see towards those people who were confined to their homes because of the situation, strikes and curfew and what they have gone through in these six months,” she said. The chief minister said now that the situation has improved and the time has come to “change our ways”. “But now I think that when the situation has improved, the time has come to heal the wounds of the people. Now, we have to change our ways. We have

to differentiate between the situation as of today and what was four months back. We will have to give special focus to the youth,” she said. She said security forces have to differentiate between offenders like militants and stone-pelters and their families. “We cannot weigh every youth by the same scale, we cannot see every youth with suspicious eyes, then the situation will not
improve. We have to differentiate between militants and their families. We have to differentiate militants from their parents, siblings and children and we cannot weigh them by the same scale. “If any youth is a habitual stone-pelter, we will have to differentiate between him and his family. You have to differentiate between an elder person involved in such activities and a student and see how to tackle them,” she said.
Rs 2.89 cr found from B’luru apartment BENGALURU/THANE, DEC 14 (agencies): Income tax officials have made yet another seizure of bulk cash in Karnataka, but not before surviving some anxious moments as an old lady guarding the black money let loose her dogs on the raiding party. Rs 2.89 crore of unaccounted cash, which included Rs 2.25 crore in Rs 2000 notes, was seized from an apartment in Yeshwantpura in North Bengaluru. While one person has been detained, IT officials haven’t revealed his identity. “A search was conducted by the Income-tax Department on a resident of Yeshwantpur, Bengaluru and unexplained cash of Rs 2.89 crore was found and seized. The cash includes Rs 2.25 crore in Rs 2000 notes. A consequential survey was also conducted by the Income-tax Department. The person concerned admitted it was his unaccounted income,” said an official statement from IT department in Bengaluru.
According to IT department officials, they received information about large cache of cash stored in an apartment, where only an old lady lived with her two dogs. On Tuesday, when IT officials tried to raid the flat, they were stopped by the elderly woman, who even let the dogs loose on the officials. Later, the officials entered the flat with the help of the police and other
inmates of the apartment, and found that one room was locked. “It was found that a person visits the flat at wee hours and he was summoned. The room was opened, where the cash was found,” said the IT officials. The man under detention claimed that the money belonged to a club in the vicinity. A subsequent raid in the club proved that the alibi was false.
Police on Tuesday evening seized more than Rs. 1 crore in the new currency notes and detained three persons in Thane. Senior police inspector Nitin Thackeray who led the team which seized the notes from near Thane Civil Hospital said that three men, Chintan Rambhia, Govrav Pichar and Harish Raut, were detained. Joint Commissioner of Police Ashutosh Dumbre told PTI that three persons were going to exchange the new Rs. 2,000 notes total-
ling Rs. one crore for the defunct Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes totalling Rs. 1.20 crore, thus charging 20 per cent commission. “We are questioning them and have also informed the Income Tax authorities,” he said.

Needless controversy
t seems that the ghost of September 22,2012 is haunting state chief minister T.R. Zeliang to no end ,courtesy his commitment made to leaders of the Naga Mothers Association that practically demanded that he do a complete volte face by spearheading revocation of the very resolution that he so strongly recommended to the 11th Nagaland Legislative Assembly. Of course the oppositionless assembly did the expected, under the shadow of a draconian 5-point whip issued on the 48 NPF legislators to toe the line. There are several points that are worth noting since they explain the way the government functions. After the leaders of NMA wrote to the chief minister T.R. Zeliang on April 9 to inform him that the Supreme Court had accepted their Special Leave Petition (SLP) and therefore he (Zeliang) should order conduction of polls to civic bodies with 33% women reservation. The fact is that the Supreme Court never issued any order expect to stay the order of the division bench of Gauhati High Court. After this, the rest is history and those who err in ignoring the causes and factors will only be condemning themselves. Whether by chance of design, Article 371A has become the keyword in any argument or excuse if it involves land or customary practices. The apex tribal hohos of Nagaland have maintained the stand, that the issue of reservation of seats for women in civic bodies or even assembly seats has to be seen through the prism of Article 371A not because it would seem politically correct but to correctly assess the consequences that could arise if due diligence is not taken while okaying women reservation. Of course, election without reservation in civic bodies and assembly constituencies cannot be denied. That would be the ideal way but due to some reason or the other, the great political idea floated by the Congress for 33% reservation was a very clever ruse. In current understanding, it would be like demonetisation where those who support it believe they are patriotic citizens while those opposed to it are condemned as supporters of black money or anti-nationals. The reservation is nothing but a political ploy to win votes of women or tripping over each other for vote bank. The Naga apex tribes have clearly explained they are not against their own women and neither are Naga women against men and that both Naga men and women are in total support of the Article 371A. The conflict arises when women activists carry the anti-male baggage along to paint the proposal for an informed discussion as a sign of male chauvinism. Social norms cannot be overwritten by the diktats of feminism and neither should male chauvinist hide behind the so-called superior gender. The 33% reservation should not be taken as the ultimate salvation for women but instead, should be recognised as a divisive agenda. As stated, Naga women enjoy very high respect in Naga society unlike their sisters in the caste-ridden and plagued Hindu society. Therefore, Naga women don’t need reservation since it does not guarantee that the social welfare minded and women of integrity will be chosen against the Rabri Devis etc. As much as the Panchayat laws in Nagaland were made by men to facilitate women in such bodies, it would be an ideal situation if the tribal organisations and government had a wider consultation to bring up a suitable law that would serve the needs of Naga society.
DailyDevotion The Great Life Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled… —John 14:27 Whenever we experience something difficult in our personal life, we are tempted to blame God. But we are the ones in the wrong, not God. Blaming God is evidence that we are refusing to let go of some disobedience somewhere in our lives. But as soon as we let go, everything becomes as clear as daylight to us. As long as we try to serve two masters, ourselves and God, there will be difficulties combined with doubt and confusion. Our attitude must be one of complete reliance on God. Once we get to that point, there is nothing easier than living the life of a saint. We encounter difficulties when we try to usurp the authority of the Holy Spirit for our own purposes. God’s mark of approval, whenever you obey Him, is peace. He sends an immeasurable, deep peace; not a natural peace, “as the world gives,” but the peace of Jesus. Whenever peace does not come, wait until it does, or seek to find out why it is not coming. If you are acting on your own impulse, or out of a sense of the heroic, to be seen by others, the peace of Jesus will not exhibit itself. This shows no unity with God or confidence in Him. The spirit of simplicity, clarity, and unity is born through the Holy Spirit, not through your decisions. God counters our self-willed decisions with an appeal for simplicity and unity. My questions arise whenever I cease to obey. When I do obey God, problems come, not between me and God, but as a means to keep my mind examining with amazement the revealed truth of God. But any problem that comes between God and myself is the result of disobedience. Any problem that comes while I obey God (and there will be many), increases my overjoyed delight, because I know that my Father knows and cares, and I can watch and anticipate how He will unravel my problems.

ome Minister Rajnath Singh has said that Pakistan is again trying to divide India on the basis of religion. He conveniently forgets history. Pakistan was a consequence, not the cause. The society was divided and both Hindus and Muslims had reached a point of no return. Consequently, they had marshaled themselves in two separate camps with little contacts with each other. True, the Muslim League under the leadership of Mohammad Ali Jinnah wanted a separate sovereign Muslim state, but there was a time when he had accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan which gave the Centre three subjects— Defence, Foreign Affairs and Communications. It was Jawaharlal Nehr u who said the constituent assembly could change anything. That made Jinnah to go back from the Cabinet Mission Plan and he openly said that he did not “trust” the Congress, which claimed to represent the unity of India. Rajnath Singh would do well to change the agenda of his Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), the establishment

of a Hindu Rashtra. It is doing so with a vengeance. After coming to power at the Centre, the BJP has changed the top honchos of institutions because of the orders from its mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Even the Nehru Centre which imbibed the teachings of Jawaharlal Nehru, an icon representing the national freedom movement, has been drastically disturbed. Satish Sahney, the Chief Executive, is a staunch RSS follower. The students at the Film Institute in Pune have been at the receiving end after Gajndra Chuhan was appointed as its head. No amount of protests had made the government relent. Appointments in other institutions, too, had followed the same pattern. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not taken any policy decision which would reflect the Hindutva philosophy. But his speeches and actions suggest a lurch towards the right. The society has a veneer of soft-Hindutva, whether the Prime Minister says so or not. After all, the nation had returned him

Kashmiri only aggravated the situation further. Even other Muslims find it hard to get jobs in the rest of the country. The private sector does not normally hire them because of prejudice. And they find it difficult to score in open competitions since they have not had the education in private schools where the fee is steep. The government schools lack the facilities like good faculty and environment which only add to their woes. I was Delhi editor of The Statesman when a Muslim employee, who had returned to India after his education in England, complained that he did not get a house in a decent locality. To my horror, I found that he was speaking the truth and that it was not possible for a Muslim to hire on rent a good accommodation owned by a Hindu. That was in the sixties. Even today, there is hardly any change in the attitude by the majority community. Rajnath Singh should take steps to ensure that the Muslims get accommodation in localities which have Hindus in majority. Otherwise, there are bound to be areas
which are overcrowded and where the Muslims feel safe. It’s of little use to have the routine Iftar parties which every government or, for that matter, party leaders have to placate the minority community. Even in a sophisticated city like Mumbai, the Muslims had to remove their name plates at the time of riots to hide their identity. It is a pity that Hindu neighbours could not give them enough confidence so that they feel safe and mingle with them without any inhibition. The feeling of security is what they want. It is the duty of government to instill that. For that the security forces would have to stay above the religious pull. It has been noticed that the force when used in riot-ridden localities tends to become parochial. The army is often called to maintain peace because it is not contaminated. Rajnath Singh should take steps to get rid of religious phobia in the force that he commands. Instead, he is giving speeches and blaming Pakistan for the pernicious fallouts of the country’s division.

A reflection on my kitchenhand-towel and Christmas
R
ethinking the value of small things: Have you ever thought of celebrating special occasions like Christmas by giving attention to rags and fragments and the broken pieces that we daily use? For most of us, for most of the time, we neglect the value and usefulness of small things that are in our possession. Think of our life without small things like toothbrush, mirror, or piece of metal like nail cutter, scissor, or piece of cloths like handkerchief, towel, and so on. In fact, they are not the most expensive things we possess but the most ‘useful’ things for our daily life. All these small things have their own roles to play enabling us to live a better life. For instance, a handkerchief is indispensably important to keep clean our dresses. Without handkerchief our expensive shirt or coat could be dirtied while the need of cleaning nose arises. It saves us from getting embarrassment from others by helping us in cleaning our nose, eyes, mouth and dress. These small things are indispensable part of our life and so may be considered as the most ‘useful’ things in life. However, we consider them ‘less important’ by comparing it to costly coat suit that we wear. This conception then is applied to our society making someone much more important than the others.
Significance of kitchen hand towel: Of late, I came to realise the importance of my kitchen hand towel. Till that time, I thought my formal dress were more important than my kitchen hand towel. This piece of cloth is just a piece of cloth; a rag that seems to have no value of its own. But it gains significance when it is reflected through the person Jesus who came to this world as a rag, used by everyone, experienced brokenness and rejection. A kitchen hand towel is placed on the gas stove table or hangs on a pin in kitchen wall. In times of need, kitchen hand towel is always there for us but we hardly acknowledge the usefulness of it. It is this dirty small piece of cloth that keeps many other things clean. Every now and then, as we cook and touch something dirty, we wipe my hand on it and keep my hand clean again. Had it not be this dirty piece of cloth we might have dirtied my clean dress. When my tea pot handle is too hot to grip, we use my kitchen towel to take it down. Sometime we use it to clean gas stove or table. Everyone wipes their hands on it after taking food. Unconsciously, in doing so, everyone – young or old, man or woman is seeking help from the kitchen hand towel. (To be concluded) Z. K. Pahrü Pou, BTC, Pfutsero
An appeal to Governor to consider amnesty to Niki Sumi and NSCN (K) group
W
ith due respect and honour I as a laymen but a concerned citizen of Nagaland State and also been given the privilege of serving the esteemed National party BJP as state president for two tenures would like to bring to your notice and kind consideration the present scenario of animosity between the government of India and the proscribed group NSCN (K). Sir, as you are well aware that the government of India, under the able leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi, and several factions of Naga Political Groups are under ceasefire agreements including the historic August 3 2015 peace accord framework signed between our government and NSCN (IM). These developments have given immense hope to the people of Nagaland who have endured decades of violence and bloodshed. And I also believe it has bolstered the effort for a journey towards a peaceful and developed North East which is a cherished dream for both government of India and the denizen of this beautiful region. Unfortunately, sir, the breakdown of ceasefire and talks with the NSCN (K) faction has brought a pall of gloom over the whole effort. It is pertinent to note that
the people of Nagaland, specially the younger generation, are tired of the violence and the tensions in their land. They are now more focussed on jobs and economic development. With the advent of internet, cell phones and social media, and also with a high percentage of literacy, the youth are now voicing their feelings and “asking questions” like never before. I also want to make a point that it is not that the educated people of Nagaland were not aware of wrong doings and short comings of the consecutive State governments, including the union government. But due to a peculiar tribal social system that exist here the methods of voicing displeasures by the people have been often misunderstood. So I feel that the policy of the government of India in dealing with the problems in Nagaland should not be according to the face value or as per the general social concept of our country. But the approach should be with sincerity and empathy. Nagaland is a very small State and a small population. It can be turned into a “Singapore” or a “Hongkong” within a few years if things can only be done in the best way. Coming back to the issue of the NSCN (K) it is my understanding that it would be of
Does truth and falsehood matter anymore to Nagas?
O
ur country was invaded by India in 1955. But in order to cover up its crime of invading another country, India projected the invasion as a case of internal law and order issue and wrote many books full of lies. Did educated Nagas bother to refute these lies and defend the truths in the sight of the rest of the world? In the national records from 1955 to 1990, I found only a few refutations- the majority of which was done by A.Z. Phizo until his death in 1980. As for the rest of the educated Nagas 99.9 % of them kept their mouth and hands shut and allowed the enemy to have a complete victory with their lies. But as if this was not enough, most of these educated Nagas asked for an Indian state and betrayed the over two thousand Naga deaths and all of Phizo’s and his colleagues’ sacrifices by signing the 16 Point Agreement. Many of them of course became millionaire out of this betrayal deal and
wrote many additional lies in support of India’s already reigning lies. Therefore Nagas had been living under a shadow- or shall we say- a cloud of lies- from 1955 to the present (altogether 61 years). Then in 1980 an internal fratricidal war started within the national movement. Here again the guilty ones who have killed over 3000 Nagas through their so called “Socialist Revolution” wrote so many lies to cover up their crimes with this lie and that lie and this cause and that cause. Sadly, here again with the exception of a few Nagas (whose numbers can be counted within the ten fingers of one’s hands), the rest of the Nagas kept their mouths shut so that lies can reign internally for another 41 years within Nagaland (1980 to 2016). Unable to tolerate all these lies that have led to killings, extortion and intimidation, a few Nagas have dared to expose all
these lies with chronicled dates, statements and the developments of events in sequential orders through written books. Even then, the overwhelming majority of Nagas who can read never bothered to read these important books which have systematically exposed all these lies. Nagas by and large, seems to want to live in ignorance under a thick cloud of lies for all their lives. I personally do not want to name these important books because I have also authored some of them. However, I think the present book by W.Shapwon entitled “The illegal formation of the NSCN” is a very important book that every Naga must read in order to understand the present crisis within our own national movement. Shapwon who is a personal eye witness to all the events that have led to the internal fratricidal killings as well as the split up within the NNC itself and has documented all the
events sequentially. These documents, supported with dates and statements that our own leaders have drafted in order to blame one another over the Naga house that is now in flames have been exposed. He has especially exposed all the facts of the infamous Shillong Accord of 1975 where our own national leaders have twisted the facts of the Accord to promote and project themselves as the real heroes of the struggle. Shapwon has meticulously exposed how the signatories who tried to save the nation from total capitulation were branded as traitors and many other innocent people were assassinated as supporters of the Shillong Accord. Shapwon has risked his own life in order to expose all these covered up lies and crimes. But the question is: Are there still some upright Nagas still walking our streets today who wants to know the truths? Kaka D. Iralu
negative consequences to engage them in hostility. The independent movement in Nagaland is an idea and we all know that we cannot defeat an idea with a gun. Even if all the other factions come to a settlement with the government of India, leaving behind a small thing unresolved will again germinate into another dangerous entity because it will become the solace of all disgruntled individuals in the future. Not only that, the upcoming generation of Nagaland will still grow up under the shadow of the gun, which is very thing we all want to avoid. Therefore, sir, I strongly believe that it is a rightful time to extend the olive branch to all concerned. Take for example Niki Sumi, commander in chief of NSCN (K) army. He is a tall leader and a citizen of Nagaland. It would be wise to study his circumstances and engage with him in the best possible way for positive result. Governor being the head of the State has special powers under the constitution and his endeavour to bring peace and stability to the State would be highly appreciated. The people of Nagaland can only look up to the sagacious and empathetic role of your honour. Dr. M. Chuba Ao, former state president, BJP Nagaland

India witnessing eco transformation: Modi
“Presently, cleaning the system from black money and corruption is very high on my agenda,” Modi said, against the backdrop of his November 8 decision to scrap notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 denomination. He said the economic process in India is being geared towards activities which are vital for generating employment or self-employment opportunities. The Prime Minister told the gathering that a number of steps have been taken to attract greater FDI and listed the various steps taken in this direction. He also mentioned that amendment to the Constitution to pave the
Rahul Gandhi
NEW DELHI, DEC 14 (IANS): After threatening an earth-shattering disclosure on demonetisation earlier, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he wanted to expose Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal complicity in corruption but “a terrified government” didn’t let him speak in Parliament. Though the Prime Minister and his office didn’t react to the remarks, the government dismissed the “baseless allegations” as a “sign of desperation” by the Congress. Gandhi didn’t make the proof public. He insisted he wanted to explode the bombshell in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing winter session that has been almost completely washed away in opposition protests against the government’s November 8 move to ban Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes to combat corruption and black money.

Rahul to hit streets on note ban, highlight public pain NEW DELHI, DEC 14 (PTI): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, who has been vehemently opposing the Centre’s demonetisation move, today decided to hit the streets over the issue and share the “pain and anguish” of people affected by it. Gandhi, while chairing a meeting of all-party MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha besides senior Congress leaders, said that he would travel to every nook and corner of the country
after the Winter session of Parliament, and highlight the pain suffered by public due to demonetisation. The announcement comes on a day when the Congress leader sensationally alleged that he had information about “personal corruption” involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to sources, Gandhi discussed about the demonetisation issue and the ‘consequent pain’ of the people, at the meeting.
DIMAPUR, DEC 14 (NPN): National Health Mission (NHM) employees have informed that their proposed total cessation of work has been postponed for three days with reservations after the state government’s assurance to release of all pending salaries by December 17, 2016. In a statement, the NHM employees cautioned the government of future consequences if the salaries were not released as assured. They also urged the government to work out and put in place a system for timely release of funds to the state health society, NHM, Nagaland in future. Meanwhile, they said NHM employees and its vertical programmes in the state would attend office during the next three days.

The organisation said people living below poverty line were quite happy and contended with the passing of National Food Security Act, adding that since its inception the godown in the rural areas were packed with the supply of rice above its capacity. ZPON said there has been no complaint from any quarters of public in the system. In the future, ZPON said if their quota of rice did not arrive as per the entitlement they would take up the issue with the concerned and competent authorities.
NPF defends govt... (From p-1) “The style or method that was adopted to carry out the entire exercise itself has manifested volumes of lawless acts of hatred, frustration, threat and trespassing by the very perpetrators, which are simply unacceptable in the eye of the law,” NPF stated. In this regard, NPF pointed out that since the godwons were being run by authorized operators on contract, it was mandatory to establish legal procedures to deal with any suspected mishandlings, mismanagement or malfunctioning that may arise in case of individuals, groups or companies. However, after NFSA was implemented, NPF said the present government had streamlined the PDS in the state and goods were being directly delivered to all nook and corners of the state fairly. Citing ACAUT’s claim that the godowns had cores of rupees worth of PDS food grains, NPF said such action (sealing off of godwon) would mandatorily warrant the proprietor(s) or authorized personal(s) or any law abiding and sensible person to immediately report the matter to the law enforcing agency for security and necessary action.

This was exactly what R.Z Lotha, M/s. Lotha Trading Company, state stockists under Food & Civil Supplies had done, NPF stated. NPF defended the action of the district administration, saying it should not be construed as high handedness. “It is the bounden duty of the district administration to maintain law and order within the jurisdiction”, said NPF. With the godwons sealed, NPF said people living in remote areas would now be immensely affected since the items inside the godowns were meant for distribution to other districts and not for Dimapur citizens. Therefore, NPF has urged upon all concerned to refrain from taking law into their hands. Further urge upon the citizens to take up their grievances if any, to the appropriate forum instead of creating anarchy in the society.

(From p-1) the Congress before 2013 general election, the people elected the “corrupt government with even more of a thumping victory”. According to Therie, even those members, who voiced against corruption, have joined hands with those involved in corruption.
“We are not innocent voters. 82% are literate and it is our social practice since time immemorial to choose clean, strong and self-content leaders that can help the community and individuals in times of need” he said. NPCC president contended that there are many people, who still worshipped money by keeping away from “Clean Election”. He also stated that clean election has been defeated by bribery as most of the “corrupt politicians, imposters, thieve and traitors have money”. Therefore, it was every citizen’s duty and right to demand what was due to them. But since the DAN government has “absolute power on corruption” instead of addressing the issue, would continue to indulge in corrupt practices, NPCC said.

However, till date they have not engaged a counsel, and chose to remain under arrest as they claim that they have not committed any wrongdoing on police said. With regard to the demand for unconditional release, police said it was next impossible since there was no legal provision to have someone released unconditionally.

Pointing out that no group or organisation was above law or people, ZPON urged upon the leaders of the responsible organisations “not to play any politics with our rice” to gain “cheap popularity or any other benefits”. ZPON added that their action was a violation of law and also deprived the poor people of their rights. Further, stating that it did not know who Tinku or Nirmal Sharma (two accused in PDS row) were, the ZPON said its concern was the rice meant for the district reach at the right time with

The organisation said the rice in question, which was to be distributed to the rural poor during this festive season, has been held up because of the “illegal raid and commotion created by the so called ACAUT and concerned citizens of Dimapur after they have had their filled of quota.”

India is not only a good destination. It’s always a good decision to be in India,” Modi said. “We have opened up new sectors for FDI and enhanced caps for existing sectors,” he said, adding the government’s concerted efforts on major FDI policy reforms continue and conditions for investments have been simplified. Total FDI inflows in the last two and a half years have touched USD 130 billion, Modi said. “The positive change in policy, regulatory and investment environment in India is recognised by both domestic and foreign investors,” he said. Referring to Make in India, which celebrated its second anniversary this year, the Prime Minister said the initiative is aimed at making the country a global hub of manufacturing, design and innovation.

On November 7, RBI had said that the total deposits post demonetisation had crossed Rs 11.5 crore. At that time a note from the State Bank of India’s chief economist Soumya Kanti Ghosh had raised a possibility of double counting on the numbers to include interbank deposits and deposits by post offices. Also a large amount of legal tender was also being deposited back into the banking system. Gandhi said that the central bank had issued to the public through bank branches and ATMs 21.8 billion pieces of notes of various denomination of which 20.1 billion pieces belong to small denomination of 10, 20s, 50s and 100s. “Of the higher denomination of Rs 2000 and Rs 500 we have issued 1.7 billion notes during this period. The entire system has been continuously been gearing up for supporting circulation of notes in the hands of public. Printing of notes is a continuous affair and the pubic are requested to freely use the notes rather than hoarding it,” said Gandhi.

MUMBAI, Dec 14 (PTI): After two straight days of fall, the rupee on Wednesday staged a mild recovery of 9 paise to 67.45 against the dollar following fresh selling of the US currency by banks and exporters amid positive economic data. Retail inflation in November fell to a two-year low of 3.63 per cent after the Centre’s demonetisation drive dented consumer spending on various food items, including vegetables. This is the lowest level since November 2014 when the retail inflation came in at 3.23 per cent. Forex dealers said a higher opening in domestic equities and dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas supported the local unit.

MUMBAI, Dec 14 (TNN): The amount of demonetized currency that has been deposited in banks has crossed Rs 12.44 lakh crore on December 10, according to data released by Reserve Bank of India on Tuesday. The deposits represent nearly 80% of the value of high denomination notes (estimated at Rs 15.44 lakh crore) of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 demonetised on November 8. The official data on high value currency as on March 2016 was Rs 14.18 crore. With over a fortnight to go for depositing banned currency notes, the scope of government making windfall gains through extinction of currency notes has dimmed a bit. The central bank also said that it has pumped in Rs 4.61 lakh crore of legal tender since demonetisation of high value currency notes. Providing an update on currency numbers, RBI deputy governor R Gandhi said that the deposit numbers pertain to the old notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 which have been returned to RBI and the currency chest.

PATNA, Dec 14 (TNN): Amid the hullabaloo over demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 banknotes, one Pankaj Kumar (42), a farmer and resident of Lagma village in Sitamarhi district, complained of receiving a “fake” Rs 2,000 note from an ATM of State Bank of India (SBI) at Simra village under Dumara police station in the district. The note appeared like a polished photocopy of the original one. Pankaj told TOI on Tuesday that when he handed over the currency note to a person on Sunday, he refused to accept it saying the note was fake. “I lodged a written complaint with the bank on Tuesday,” he added. Pankaj has also lodged a complaint with Dumra police station. SHO of Dumra PS Vijay Bahdur Singh said a probe had been ordered into the complaint. Sudhanshu Kumar Rao, chief manager SBI main branch in Sitamarhi, said the ATM kiosk from where Pankaj withdrew the Rs 2,000 note was outsourced to a private firm.

In between, the government withdrew use of 1,000 rupee notes for utility bill payments and discontinued use of even 500 ones for services like purchase of petrol and diesel at petrol pumps as well as buying air tickets at airport counters. Since the demonetisation announcement, the government has been pushing towards promoting digital transactions and has come out with a package to incentivise cashless payments. Now petrol, railway tickets and insurance policies of PSU companies will cost less if bought through debit/credit cards or other digital modes. The government also waived service tax for payments up to Rs 2,000 made through cards and decided to do away with transaction fee for payment to the central government departments and PSUs.

VAT I C A n, D e c 1 4 (Agencies): Pope Francis, who turns 80 on Saturday, responded to thousands of people singing “Happy Birthday” on Wednesday by joking that doing it early may bring a jinx on him. “Thank you very much for your greetings for my upcoming birthday,” the Argentine pope said at his general audience, the last public appearance before the birthday. “But I’ll tell you something that will make you laugh. In my country, expressing greetings ahead of time brings bad luck and those who do it are jinxers,” he said. The Vatican, a sovereign city-state surrounded by Rome, has produced a postage stamp to mark the birthday of the pope, the first from Latin America, who was elected in 2013. It also created seven email addresses where anyone can send birthday greetings to the pontiff, including in Latin, papafranciscus80@ vatican.va. The others are in Italian, Spanish, English, French, German and Polish and the hashtag for social medial is #Pontifex80.

U.S. ready to confront Beijing on South China Sea: admiral S Y D N E Y, D e c 1 4 (Agencies): The United States is ready to confront China should it continue its overreaching maritime claims in the South China Sea, the head of the U.S. Pacific fleet said on Wednesday, comments that threaten to escalate tensions between the two global rivals. China claims most of the resource-rich South China Sea through which about $5 trillion in shipborne trade passes every year. Neighbors Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims. The United States has called on China to respect the findings of the arbitration court in The Hague earlier this year which invalidated its vast territorial claims in the strategic waterway. But Beijing continues to act in an “aggressive” manner, to which the Unit-
ed States stands ready to respond, Admiral Harry Harris, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, said in a speech in Sydney. “We will not allow a shared domain to be closed down unilaterally no matter how many bases are built on artificial features in the South China Sea,” he said. “We will cooperate when we can but we will be ready to confront when we must.” The comments threaten to stoke tensions between the United States and China, already heightened by President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to accept a telephone call from Taiwan’s president on Dec. 2 that prompted a diplomatic protest from Beijing. Asked about Harris’s remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said the situation in the South China Sea was currently stable, thanks to
the hard work of China and others in the region. “We hope the United States can abide by its promises on not taking sides on the sovereignty dispute in the South China Sea, respect the efforts of countries in the region to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region and do more to promote peace and stability there,” he told a daily news briefing. The United States estimates Beijing has added more than 3,200 acres (1,300 hectares) of land on seven features in the South China Sea over the past three years, building runways, ports, aircraft hangars and communications equipment. In response, the United States has conducted a series of freedom-of-navigation operations in the South China Sea, the latest of which came in October.
ALEPPO, SYRIA/BEIRUT, Dec 14 (Agencies): The planned evacuation of rebel districts of Aleppo stalled on Wednesday as air strikes and heavy shelling hit the city and Iran was said to have imposed new conditions on the deal. Iran, one of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s main backers in the battle that has all but ended four years of rebel resistance in the city, wanted a simultaneous evacuation of wounded from two villages, Foua and Kefraya, that are besieged by rebel fighters, according to rebel and U.N. sources. Rebel groups said that was just an excuse to hold up the evacuation from a shrunken insurgent enclave shattered by a powerful government offensive. A proopposition TV station said the operation could now be delayed until Thursday. A ceasefire brokered on Tuesday by Russia, Assad’s most powerful ally, and Turkey was intended to end years of fighting in the city, giving the Syrian leader his biggest victory in more than five years of war. But air strikes, shelling and gunfire erupted on Wednesday and Turkey accused government forces of breaking the truce. Syrian state television said rebel shelling had killed six people. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said however that rebel resistance was likely to end in the next two or three days. Ru s s i a n P r e s i d e n t Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan will discuss Aleppo later on Wednesday, the Kremlin was quoted as saying. Officials in the mili-

tary alliance backing Assad could not be reached immediately for comment on why the evacuation, expected to start in the early hours of Wednesday, had stalled. Nobody had left by dawn under the plan, according to a Reuters witness waiting at the departure point, where 20 buses stood with engines running but showed no sign of moving into rebel districts. People in eastern Aleppo packed their bags and burned personal belongings, fearing looting by the Syrian army and its Iranian-backed militia allies. In what appeared to be a separate development from the planned evacuation, the Russian defence ministry said 6,000 civilians and 366 fighters had left rebel-held districts over the past 24 hours. A total of 15,000 people, including 4,000 rebel fighters, wanted to leave Aleppo, according to a media unit run by the Syrian government’s ally Hezbollah. The evacuation plan was the culmination of two weeks of rapid advances by the Syrian army and its allies that drove insurgents
Oklahoma girl accused of plotting shooting at school TONKAWA, Okla, Dec 14 (Agencies): Police in a small town in northern Oklahoma say they’ve arrested a 13-year-old girl accused of plotting a mass shooting at a high school. The Tonkawa Police Department says investigators executed a search warrant Sunday at the girl’s home and seized weapons, ammunition and “personal writings” from the teen. Tonkawa police say the girl was charged as a juvenile with threats to perform acts of violence and is now being held in a youth detention center. Police say the girl had also made threats toward specific students at the school, and all families have been notified. Police say investigators believe that the girl was acting alone in the plot. Tonkawa is a town of about 3,200 people near the state’s border with Kansas, about 85 miles north of Oklahoma City.

back into an ever-smaller pocket of the city under intense air strikes and artillery fire. By taking full control of Aleppo, Assad has proved the power of his military coalition, aided by Russia’s air force and an array of Shi’ite militias from across the region. Rebels groups have been supported by the United States, Turkey and Gulf monarchies, but the support they have enjoyed has fallen far short of the direct military backing given to Assad by Russia and Iran. Russia’s decision to deploy its air force to Syria 18 months ago turned the war in Assad’s favor after rebel advances across western Syria. In addition to Aleppo, he has won back insurgent strongholds near Damascus this year. The government and its allies have focused the bulk of their firepower on fighting rebels in western Syria rather than Islamic State, which this week managed to take back the ancient city of Palmyra, once again illustrating the challenge Assad faces reestablishing control over all Syria.

M A D R I D, D e c 1 4 (Agencies): China will seek the extradition of more than 200 of its citizens arrested in Spain in a crackdown on gangs that ran call centers that swindled 16 million euros ($17 million) from compatriots at home, a Chinese official said Wednesday. Spanish National Police said the gangs made contact with people in China, pretending at first they were friends or family and warning them of fraud scams. In later calls, they pretended to be police investigating the scams and convinced many of the victims to put money in bank accounts run by the gangs. Police said they have dismantled 13 call centers run out of houses in towns around Madrid and the eastern cities of Barcelona and Alicante. The operation Tuesday was carried out in conjunction with Chinese authorities, who launched the investigation. Zhu Jian, a consular official at the Chinese embassy in Madrid, told The Associated Press that China would seek the extradition of those arrested for trial in China. The suspects include some Taiwan citizens. China considers the self-governing island Chinese territory. Spain does not have diplomatic ties with Taiwan and signed an extradition treaty with China in 2006. Police Commissioner Eugenio Pereiro said the network was run out of Taiwan and operated on five continents. He said it has a strong presence in Greece and Armenia. He said thousands of Chinese, including many poor people, fell for the scam, and some committed suicide as a result.

and put people back at the center of it,” McMorris Rodgers said in a Facebook post. Zinke had been an early Trump supporter, backing the New York businessman for president in May. His nomination must now be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate. “Congressman Zinke is a strong advocate for American energy independence, and he supports an all-encompassing energy policy that includes renewables, fossil fuels and alternative energy,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said before a meeting on Monday between Zinke and Trump at Trump Tower in New York. Zinke, a member of the House of Representatives subcommittee on natural resources, has voted for legislation that would weaken environmental safeguards on public land. But, unlike other candidates who were on the short list for the interior secretary job, Zinke opposes the transfer of public lands to the states, a position that echoes Trump’s.

Trump chooses congressman, former SEAL Zinke as interior secy
WASHINGTON, Dec 14 (Agencies): Presidentelect Donald Trump has chosen first-term Republican U.S. Representative Ryan Zinke of Montana, a former Navy SEAL commander, as his interior secretary, a senior transition official said on Tuesday. Zinke, 55, will be nominated to head the Interior Department, which employs more than 70,000 people across the United States and oversees more than 20 percent of federal land, including national parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite. Zinke’s choice was something of a surprise since some Republican officials wanted him to challenge Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Tester of Montana in the 2018 elections. Zinke emerged after Trump had toyed with the idea of nominating U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington state for the position. He is a proponent of keeping public lands under federal ownership, putting him at odds with some in

Would have won more titles with Messi: Ronaldo
New Delhi, Dec 14 (Agencies): Soon after bagging his fourth Ballon d’Or, Real Madrid’s talismanic striker Cristiano Ronaldo said that he would have won more number of prestigious titles if he was a teammate of Lionel Messi. It was the perfect ending to another fantastic year for the Real Madrid star, who won the Champions League for the second time in three seasons and then led Portugal to their first major title at Euro 2016 -- albeit he went off early injured and in tears in the surprise victory over France. When asked whether he would have claimed the award more times had he and the Barcelona superstar played on the same side, Ronaldo said: “It’s a difficult question. I don’t know. “It would be interesting to see both of us in the same team. I think great players should play together. So if we were in the same team, I think I would have more than him, but he wouldn’t be far off. “Everyone knows Messi is a great player. He’s won five Ballons d’Or.”
Everton stun Arsenal; Bournemouth beat Leicester
Lo n d o n, D e c 1 4 (Agencies): Ashley Williams’s 86th-minute header ended Arsenal’s 14game unbeaten run and kept Arsene Wenger’s side from the Premier League summit as Everton claimed a muchneeded 2-1 win on Tuesday. Arsenal would have provisionally supplanted leaders Chelsea on goals scored with victory and took a 20th-minute lead when Alexis Sanchez’s free-kick deflected in off Williams. But Seamus Coleman equalised with a 44th-minute header before Williams’s first Everton goal ended his team’s five-game winless run and sent Ronald Koeman’s men up to seventh in the table. Meanwhile, champions Leicester City were brought down to earth after their 4-2 demolition of Manchester City as Marc Pugh’s goal earned Bournemouth a 1-0 win at the Vitality Stadium. Arsenal made only one change from their 3-1 win over Stoke City, fit-again right-back Hector Bellerin replacing injured centreback Shkodran Mustafi, and took a 20th-minute lead. The goal stemmed from a comedy of errors on the edge of Everton’s box as Ross Barkley lost possession,

Sanchez sent the free-kick curling towards Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and in seeking to clear the ball, Williams succeeded only in deflecting it into his own net. It was Sanchez’s 12th effort of the campaign, putting him level with Chelsea’s Diego Costa as Premier League top scorer.

Kerala beat Delhi on penalties; enter final
Delhi Dynamos and Kerala Blasters players vie for the ball during their Indian Super League semifinal match.
New Delhi, Dec 14 (IANS): Kerala Blasters defeated Delhi Dynamos via penalty shoot-out in the semi-final second leg to enter the final of the Indian Super League (ISL) here on Wednesday. Delhi were leading 2-1 at the end of the regulation 90 minutes. But with Kerala having won the first leg 1-0, the teams were locked 2-2 on aggregate. Wi t h b o t h t e a m s

unable to score over 30 minutes of extra-time, Kerala upstaged the hosts 3-0 in the penalty shootout and earned the right to meet Atletico de Kolkata in Sunday’s final. Marcelinho Leite Pereira (21st minute) and Rubén González Rocha (45th+) scored for Delhi while Duckens Nazon got the only goal for Kerala. In the penalty shootout, Josué Currais Prieto, Ke r ve n s B e l f o r t a n d
Mohammed Rafique got their attempts on target while done of the Delhi players could hold their nerve. Delhi were reduced to 10 men when Milan Singh was sent off for a rough challenge on Mehtab Hussain. But the hosts did well to give a tough fight despite the one-man deficit and in fact created more scoring chances than their opponents. Kolkata and Kerala
had met in the final of the inaugural edition in 2014 as well with the former emerging as the champions. The boys from the south will be raring to win on Sunday and erase the memories of that painful defeat. Both teams started off on an aggressive note with Kerala catching the rather off-colour Delhi defence on the wrong foot time and again. At the other end o f t h e p i t c h , Ke r a l a goalkeeper Sandip Nandy was not in the best of form, committing a host of errors. The former East Bengal goalkeeper was guilty of some poor coordination as a poor clearance from defender Kadio saw Marcelinho in posession inside the Kerala penalty box and the Brazilian cashed in by handing Delhi the lead. The Dynamos had the last laugh in the opening 45 minutes after Ruben gave his team the lead again in added time. A freekick from Marcos Tebar saw Ruben rise high and sneak the goal home even as goalkeeper Sandip Nandy missed the flight and Kadio couldn’t
head it away. Delhi were leading in this game but the teams were tied on aggregate which meant both teams needed another goal. That goal did not happen all through the 90 minutes but it were Delhi who clearly enjoyed the upperhand. Delhi infact can count themselves unlucky as defender Sandesh Jhingan proved to be Kerala’s saviour with a timely goalline clearance. Kerala, on the other hand, had their chances with Antonio German firing a long ranger wide from a good position and C.K. Vineeth’s diving header missing the target. In the first half of extra time alone, Delhi came close several times to scoring the goal that would have mattered. Florent Malouda was the man in form and he forced goalkeeper Nandy to make two good saves. Once, Nandy’s save saw the rebound fall for Marcelinho but his attempt sailed just wide of the target. Another Marcelinho header from close range fell into the waiting hands of the goalkeeper.

Saina posted the picture on Twitter with caption, “My new Honor 8 phone …… love the phone and the colour.” Some of her followers didn’t take the post too well and started calling her an ‘anti-national’ for apparently promoting a Chinese phone
brand. “Saina please dnt use r promote bloody Chinese goods…. We have lo of respect for u. Please kickoff those bloody Chinese goods,” commented someone on the post. “I am your fan, but if you say buy China product am not. I will say stop this nonsense,” followed another one. Seeing so many people lashing out at Saina for promoting the smart phone brand, many jumped to her defense. Here’s what some of Saina’s fans said:
“Saina u go with your mind and go ahead, congrats for ur new phone, some people are still poor by mind. And guys don’t forget she make a India proud in Badminton....God bless u Saina,” commented a fan. “That’s really sad that people are mocking her for this post. Guys, get a life. She’s as much patriot as me and you. She’s made India proud. These comments are disheartening,” another fan wrote. Earlier in March this year, Saina was announced as Huawei’s sub-brand Honor’s India brand ambassador which explains the primary reason behind her putting up such post. Another point that should be noted is that the Chinese multinational has already announced its ‘Make in India’ vision, and will be setting up a manufacturing unit in Chennai in partnership with Flex.
O S A K A ( J apan ) , Dec 14 (Agencies): Kashima Antlers became the first Japanese side to reach the Club World Cup final when they beat Colombia’s South American champions Atletico Nacional 3-0 on Wednesday. Kashima’s first goal came after 33 minutes when Shoma Doi converted a penalty given for an offthe-ball trip by Orlando Berrio on Daigo Nishi after video evidence was used to award a spot kick for the first time in a FIFA competition. Yasushi Endo scored the Antlers’ second after 83 minutes when he took advantage of an error by goalkeeper Franco Armani to backheel a loose ball into the empty net. Atletico’s heads went down and two minutes later substitute Yuma Suzuki, who had just come on, sidefooted home a third from close range after Mu Kanazaki’s ball across the face of goal.
The result means Japan’s J-league champions will face the winners of Thursday’s semi-final between Real Madrid and Mexico’s Club America. The final is scheduled for Sunday. Atletico were the better side, especially in the first half, with 23 shots at goal to Kashima’s 10. However, they could not find a way past Kashima’s veteran goalkeeper Hitoshi Sogahata and they paid the price when they were caught on the break. “We hit the bar and we had clear chances and those would have given use the composure to play our game,” Atletico coach Reinaldo Rueda said. “We’re very sad.” The loss in their 83rd match of the year capped a traumatic few weeks for Atletico. The Copa Libertadores champions were scheduled to face Chapecoense in the final of the Copa Sudamericana in November but a plane crash killed most of the

Virat Kohli is two-times more aggressive than me: Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly has praised the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
Kolkata, Dec 14 (IANS): Virat Kohli is two-times more aggressive as the India captain than me, former skipper Sourav Ganguly said on Wednesday. “His aggression is twotimes more than mine,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Sourav Ganguly Foundation and Sourav Ganguly Cricket School launch, which is powered by PitchVision Cricket Technology here. The technology is a motiontracking tool which helps players at the grassroots level better their skills through television and academy style feedback. Ganguly, during his time as the India captain was also known to be an aggressive leader,

The dashing right-hander recently led India to their fifth successive Test victory after India’s innings and 36 runs win at Mumbai, their biggest triumph over England in Tests at home. Kohli also became the first Indian captain to win five successive Test series -- 2-1 vs Sri Lanka in 2015; 3-0 vs South Africa in 2015-16; 2-0 vs West Indies in 2016; 3-0 vs New Zealand and 3-0 (leading) vs England in 2016-17.
