Jallikattu uprising in TN PEOPLE SAY TRADITION SUPREME OVER COURT INTERPRETATION

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (PTI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam decided to stay back in the capital on Thursday to figure out how to allow the annual bull-taming event jallikattu in the face of a Supreme Court ban and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reluctance to use the ordinance route to bypass it.

Modi has indicated his government’s inability to promulgate an ordinance to allow the event, pointing out that the matter is sub-judice.

“While appreciating the cultural significance of jallikattu, the Prime Minister observed that the matter is at present sub-judice,” the Prime Minister’s Office said after the meeting. At the same time, it said, “The Centre would be supportive of the steps taken by the state government.”

Panneerselvam then discussed the issue with his Additional Advocate General Subramonium Prasad, while supervising the developments back home personally. An official statement said the chief minister is giving directions to the officials concerned.

AYO reiterates warning to excom-candidates DIMAPUR, JAN 19 (NPN): Reiterating its warning to excommunicated candidates not to take refuge in Angami areas of Dimapur and Kohima, the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) has further cautioned that any family or house owner in the Angami areas found harbouring them would be held accountable and viewed seriously.

It also expressed hope that the current imbroglio would be resolved at the earilest by all stakeholders in the interest of the present and future generation.

Till then, AYO reiterated its resolve to uphold the APO resolution passed in the interest of Angamis in particular and Nagas in general. AYO also noted that every Angami heeded to the voice of the community and Nagas in general by not filing their nominations and, if nominated, withdrew and pledging to relinquish office even if they had failed to withdraw. as advised.

“We will soon take steps with the backing of the Centre for the holding of the sport. You will soon see (the steps). All is well that ends well. Wait, good will happen,” he said after meeting with Modi.

Late evening reports indicated that the state government could consider promulgating an ordinance to ensure holding of jallikattu or convene the Assembly for adopting a resolution in its favour.

Protests demanding jallikattu gathered further momentum and agitators rejected the statements by Modi and Panneerselvam.

The state braced for a shutdown on Friday. In a

virtual replay of the antiHindi agitation of the 1960s, lakhs of students and youths took leadership of the peaceful protests across the state, while agitators in Madurai, the main area which has been hosting jallikattu sport for centuries, stopped trains pressing for their demand.

Businesses, theatres, schools and transporters have declared a day-long strike tomorrow supporting the demand for immediate permission to allow jallikattu.

The agitation in support of jallikattu gathered momentum in Tamil Nadu and also outside India in the Tamil diaspora. Protests were reported from Sri Lan-

ka, Britain and Australia.

In London, the protest group includes London Tamil Sangam, World Tamil Organisation and British South Indians. They held protests outside the Indian High Commission in London on Tuesday and Wednesday. Protests are also planned in Leeds in England and Dublin in Ireland. ”Hundreds have been turning out to highlight that jallikattu is part of our tradition and identity. We are also working on a major hungerstrike this weekend to raise awareness around the issue in the UK. We are expecting over 1,000 people to join that protest,” a spokesperson for the protest group told PTI.

NPF asks BJP to clarify on Kheto’s remarks D I M A P U R , JA N 1 9 (NPN): NPF has demanded immediate clarification from State BJP leadership on former minister and BJP member Kheto Sema’s remarks, who had accused its DAN alliance partner NPF of failing to perform its duties, at the BJP election campaign.

Hitting back at Kheto, the NPF media and press bureau said that it was not interested to meddle in the internal affairs of the BJP, but since BJP legislators are part and parcel of the present government, it wanted the alliance partner

to behave like a responsible ruling party rather than behaving like an irresponsible opposition party.

NPF claimed that despite challenges and “thorniest tasks” faced by the state, the NPF-led Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) government has been working to create a clean and self reliant society by keeping the welfare of the people as its top priority. It went on to allege that the during the ten-year rule Congress led-UPA government, the State was left in “utter negligence” and even the 2013-14 Annual Plan

Fund was slashed leading to acute financial hardship.

However, despite of this, NPF-led DAN government under the leadership of T.R. Zeliang has taken up necessary developments where ever deemed imperative.

Therefore, NPF has asked Kheto, whether he was ignorant of the facts or merely making wild allegations for the sake of rhetoric. Further, NPF also asked Kheto, a former minister in the previous DAN government, to stop bragging carelessly as people have become more matured.

NPF kick-starts campaign for DMC polls Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, JAN 19 (NPN): Naga People’s Front (NPF) Dimapur division Thursday kick-started its campaign for the ensuing Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) elections from Ward 13 and Ward 14.

Ward wise campaign, which is scheduled from January 19-28, is being headed by advisor Urban Development, S.I. Jamir, as convenor of Campaign Committee DMC election, parliamentary secretary IPR, Khekaho Assumi, as campaign director and NPF Dimapur division president I. Nungsang Jamir as member.

Speaking at the campaign launching programme, SI Jamir appealed to the gathering to vote for the ruling party in order

to receive funds for development. Jamir informed that an amount of Rs.200 crore meant for Nagaland was lying idle in the Ministry of Urban Development for want of an elected local body.

He further said that no stone would be left unturned as far as development of Dimapur was concerned.

In his address, Khekaho stated that in order to form a NPF-led DMC, a minimum of 12 members was required to form a simple majority out of the 23 wards that go to polls on February 1, 2017. “As of now NPF has six DMC members elected unopposed and therefore out of the 17 more members to be elected, the party’s expectation is to further secure another 15, if not all,” he stated.

D I M PAU R , J A N 1 9 (NPN): A nine-member APO Advisory Body has said the issue of reservation of women in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) has created “highly-charged emotions” as Naga society which was emerging from its traditional past “is responding to an issue never faced before”.

The APO Advisory Body also noted the “divergent stands” taken by the government and women on one side and the apex tribe organisations on the other, which nearly caused a “confrontation on January 7 and 9” but which was averted due to “wise restraint and far-sighted responsibility” shown by the conflicting parties. In this regard, the APO Advisory Body expressed gratitude to all parties involved in the crisis, for “preventing the worst from happening”. (Cont’d on p-8)

SC rejects divorce given by Church NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (PTI): Divorce granted by ecclesiastical tribunal under Christian personal law are not valid as it cannot override the law, the Supreme Court said on Thursday as it rejected a PIL that sought according legal sanction to such separations granted by the Church Court.

A bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud dismissed the plea filed

by Clarence Pais, a former president of a Karnataka Catholic association, saying the issue has been settled by it in its 1996 verdict delivered in the case of Molly Joseph versus George Sebastian.

“Canon Law (personal law of Christians) can have theological or ecclesiastical implications to the parties.

But after the Divorce Act came into force, a dissolution or annulment granted under such personal law

cannot have any legal impact as statute has provided a different procedure and a different code for divorce or annulment,” the apex court had then ruled.

Pais, in his PIL filed in 2013, had said the divorce granted by a Church, set up under its personal law, should be considered valid under the Indian common law as was done in the case of Muslims with regard to ‘triple talaq’.

Former Attorney General Soli Sorabjee, appearing for Pais, had contended that when oral ‘triple talaq’ could get legal sanctity for granting divorce to Muslim couples, why could Canon law decrees not be made binding on courts of law.

He had alleged that many Catholic Christians, who married after getting divorce from Christian courts, faced criminal charges of bigamy as such divorces are

not recognised by the criminal and civil courts.

Pais, in his plea, had said, “It is reasonable that when the courts in India recognise dissolution of marriage (by pronouncing the word talaq three times) under Mohammedan Law which is Personal law of the Muslims, the courts should also recognise for the purpose of dissolution of marriage Canon Law as the personal law of the Indian Catholics.”

The plea contended that Canon Law is the personal law of Catholics and has to be applied and enforced by a criminal court while deciding a case under section 494 (bigamy) of IPC. The Centre, however, had opposed the plea saying Canon law cannot be allowed to override Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872 and Divorce Act, 1869.

Take steps to lift blockade, JFP urges Rajnath Singh

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 19: The Centre has initiated actions to end the UNC sponsored economic blockade on the national highways in Manipur, Union home minister Rajnath has informed a delegation of Joint Forum for Peace (JFP).

The JFP team comprising of 17 members from various civil society organizations based in the state met the Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday and tabled a detail account of the hardships being faced by the people due to the prolonged imposition of economic blockade on the national highways. During the meeting the delegation pressed the Union minister to take up immediate steps to re-open the highways for normal shipping of essential commodities.

Meanwhile, the 187member delegation led by UCM president Johnson Elangbam was reported to have drawn the attention of the Union home minister on Centre taking the matter with the NSCN (I-M) while alleging that UNC is a frontal organization of the out-

fit which is currently under peace negotiation with the Government of India.

While reminding that it is not the time to blame each other, the delegate also highlighted the woes of the people of Manipur. After a patient hearing to the submission of the JFP delegates, the minister reportedly assured that Centre would take up all possible measures to re-open the national highways. He (Rajnath) informed that if the state could not resolve the prevailing humanitarian crisis then Centre would intervene and, for which, his ministry has already started initiating actions.

Rajnath Singh reportedly told the Forum representatives that he had already asked NSCN (I-M) to convince United Naga Council (UNC) to lift the economic blockade.

The Manipur government and other NGOs have been urging the Centre to prevail upon the NSCN (I-M) on the issue since peace talks are going on. It is contended that the United Naga Council (UNC) which imposed the blockade is a frontal organisation of the NSCN.

The Forum representatives will also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

They are also planning a symbolic sit-in protest in Delhi. Meanwhile, Manipur Chief Secretary O. Nabakishore had extended an invitation to the UNC to take part in the tripartite talks scheduled on January 23 at the Old Secretariat.

He assured full protection to the UNC delegates while coming to Imphal.

However, the UNC says that it will not take part in the talks if the venue is in Imphal, Manipur’s capital and that they should either be in Senapati district where its office is located or in Delhi.

Describing the Congress government as “communal and anti-tribal”, the UNC has been demanding an alternative arrangement for the Nagas in Manipur.

Earlier on Wednesday Union home minister Rajnath held a joint meeting with chief ministers of Manipur and Nagaland and discussed about the prevailing situation in Manipur arising out of prolonged imposition of economic blockade on the national highways.

northeast ‘Road accidents near schools killed 391’ GUWAHATI, Jan 19 (Agencies): Road accidents near schools claimed 391 lives in the state in 2015, the latest report on accidental deaths by the National Crime Records Bureau has revealed. Of these, 225 died in rural areas while 166 died in urban areas, the report added.

The alarming number can be pinned down to poor road signs, ill-demarcated zebra crossings and reckless driving. A state transport department official said his department and the traffic police department have been conducting sensitization programmes in schools.

“Vehicles need to be slowed down when there is a road sign indicating that there is a school nearby. We have found that most people overlook the signs and don’t slow down. Stringent laws must be in place and hefty penalties levied to deter such violators,” he added.

A transport department advisory targeted specifically at schoolchildren is also being handed out.

“Never walk on the roads in a group. If you are going to school by a bus, then leave your home well before time so that you are not in a hurry to catch the bus,” the advisory says.

438 cr project undertaken for Agartala airport Agartala, Jan 19 (IANS): The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has undertaken a Rs 438 crore project to upgrade the Agartala airport to international standards by providing world-class facilities, a top official announced on Thursday.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar met union minister for Civil Aviation Ashok Gajapathi Raju on Wednesday in New Delhi and discussed about the upgradation of the Agartala airport, which was built in 1942 by the then Tripura king Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur.

According to the official of the Chief Minister;s Office, the union minister responded positively when Sarkar requested him to expedite the works.

AAI’s Agartala airport Director S.D.Barman said that though the tender for the project was not yet floated, the works for building of a new terminal is likely to start by AprilMay. The Agartala airport is the second busiest in the northeast after Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.

“Currently three airliners operates an average 14 flights in the Agartala-Kolkata, AgartalaGuwahati and AgartalaDelhi routes,” Barman told IANS. During World War II, the Agartala airport was used by the 4th Combat Cargo Group (4th CCG) of the US Army Air Forces Tenth Air Force, flying Curtiss C-46 Commando aircraft over Myanmar.

The airport was used as a supply point from which the unit air-dropped supplies and ammunition to the advancing Allied forces on the ground.

Tripura Transport and Power Minister Manik Dey said that after the completion of the proposed project, flights between (Bangladesh capital) Dhaka - as well as important cities like Chittagong and Sylhet and Agartala could then be operated.

Dey said that the Agartala airport handled on an average nine lakh passengers per year.

The state government had already provided 72 acres of land to AAI for construction of the new terminal building, runway and other necessary infrastructure, Dey added.

‘protected’ RBI NIA to grill Kanpur bomb suspects Indigenous fighter jet Tejas Manmohan in PAC meet: Kapil Sibal to make debut at Republic Day

The IAF will use three of the Tejas which has been made by public sector giant Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. (PTI) NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas would make its debut run in the Republic Day Parade this year, the Indian Air Force (IAF) announced on Thursday.

Besides Tejas, the flypast would include Su-30 aircraft in Trishul formation and also a high speed run by a single Su-30, followed by vertical Charlie, which means the aircraft would virtually stand in the air.

Tejas has earlier flown at Indian Air Force Day last year, when its maneuvers left the spectators spellbound. It was also flown at the IAF’s fire power demonstration Iron Fist, Aero India, and the Bahrain International Airshow.

At the Air Force Day, on October 8, 2016, the flight by Tejas included a steep pull right after the takeoff that demonstrated

the aircraft’s ability to climb rapidly to desired altitude, with the aircraft standing vertical in air to the awe of the spectators. The pilot also performed a loop, took a fast turn at a rate of approximately 20 degrees per second, and took turn at a speed as low as 160 knots, displaying the aircraft’s capabilities.

In May 2016, it was flown by the then Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, when Raha carried out manoeuvers in the flying envelope of the aircraft, simulated air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks and assessed the advanced modes of the radar and helmet mounted display sight.

Indigenously developed Tejas fighter jet was inducted in the IAF in July 2016 with two aircraft. The plan is to increase the production of aircraft from the

present eight to 16 aircraft each year.

While at present it has only an initial operational clearance, a Final Operational Clearance is likely to be accorded to the aircraft in a few months. The IAF plans to induct 120 Tejas fighters to replace Mig-21s, including 100 of modified versions in its frontline fleet.

As a fourth generation aircraft, Tejas can fly at 1,350 km per hour and is comparable to the world’s best fighters, including French Mirage 2000, American F-16 and Swedish Gripen.

As a single-engine, multi-role supersonic fighter, Tejas weighs 8.5 tonnes and can carry three tonnes of weapons, including airto-air missiles, laser guided bombs, guns, conventional/ retarded bombs and beyond visual range missiles.

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): Congress on Thursday said that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ‘protected’ RBI Governor Urijit Patel during the Parliamentary Standing Committee (PAC) meeting.

“In the PAC Dr. Manmohan Singh protected RBI in public interest. Modi is diminishing its independence and acted against public interest,” senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal tweeted.

Digvijaya Singh, who is also member of the Standing Committee on Finance, lashed out at Mr. Patel, a day after the central bank Governor was questioned

by PAC over the note ban issue.

“I had the privilege to hear the earlier Governor RBI and the present one also. What a contrast!,” Mr. Digvijaya tweeted.

Dr. Singh, who had made a forceful speech against the note ban in the Rajya Sabha, calling it a

Modi too had drawn attention to the territorial sovereignty of India.

“Respect for sovereignty is important for regional connectivity to improve,” Modi said in his inaugural speech.

‘India, China can help each other’ In his address, Jaishankar raised India’s concerns over the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

China and Pakistan have fast-tracked the constr uction work of the CPEC, a large part of which passes through PoK. Once completed, the CPEC will provide an

all-weather energy route for China from the Gulf.

India’s concerns have also increased in recent weeks with reports of China-Pakistan naval cooperation in Gwadar port of Balochistan, which will serve as the entry point to CPEC. Foreign Secretar y said that China’s rise was a major “dynamic” factor in the Asian affairs and reminded the audience that differences with China had not gone away.

“With China, the overall broadening of ties, especially in business and people-to-people contacts, has been overshadowed by differences on certain political issues,” said Jaishankar.

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss was on Thursday detained by Delhi Police after he protested outside the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) here in support of Jallikattu.

The former Union Minister had sought an appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for submitting a representation in favour of the popular bull-taming sport.

As the appointment was not given, Ramadoss sat on the road outside the PMO to protest.

In a tweet, Ramadoss said he was detained at the Tughlak Road police station. Earlier, in a statement issued in Chennai, Ramadoss had said his party will hold Jallikattu on Republic Day on January 26 in case the Centre failed to promulgate an ordinance to facilitate the sport, which was banned by the Supreme Court in May 2014.

Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam met Prime Minister Modi in the morning in connection with the issue, amid widespread protests in Tamil Nadu in support of holding Jallikattu.

to lose sight of the strategic nature of their engagement or falter in their conviction that their rise can be mutually supportive.”

Differences with China Foreign Secretary’s comments about CPEC and the “political issues” are significant as both India and China have dealt with the differences over the last several months.

It had left a shadow, especially in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) where India’s membership bid was scuttled by China in the year 2016. China’s territorial assertion over Asia, however, received a jolt in July 2016 when the Permanent Court of Arbitration gave an adverse verdict on the South China Sea issue.

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): The Election Commission of India has written to Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha asking him to explain the procedure used by the previous central government under the United Progressive Alliance to delay tabling the union Budget in 2012, when dates of assembly elections clashed with the Budget Session.

The election watchdog has also asked for details of procedure involved in drafting and presenting the budget.

The bureaucrat has until Friday morning to respond. The central government has announced that it would table the Budget on February 1, but said it would not make announcements for the states that are headed to assembly elections next month. Opposition parties had objected to holding the Budget Session before elections, arguing that it would give the ruling BJP an unfair advantage.

Sealdah Express Train derailed near Rura, around 70 kilometres from Kanpur, on December 28. Though no deaths were reported, 44 persons were injured.

Earlier, on November 20, the Indore-Patna Express train derailed near Kanpur killing 145 passengers and injuring several others.

On January 10, the central government responded to Opposition’s objections saying that the decision to advance the Budget Session was taken for a purpose.

The central government is learnt to have described the Union Budget as an “annual constitutional exercise covering the entire country” and not just a few states.

It also said that holding the Budget Session early would ensure that it was made effective from April 1, the beginning of the new fiscal.

Assembly elections will be held in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur — the same states that voted in 2012 — from next month, with Punjab and Goa going first on February 4.

In 2012, the UPA government under former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had put off Budget Session to March 16 when the Opposition objected to the original date, February 28.

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): Asserting its territorial sovereignty, India said that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passes through its territory.

Addressing the Raisina Dialogue, Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar said China was yet to respond to India’s concerns on CPEC. “China is very sensitive on matters concerning its sovereignty.

“We expect they will respect other people’s sovereignty. CPEC passes through a territory that we see as ours. Surely people will understand India’s reaction. There needs to be some reflection and I am sorry to say that we have not seen signs of that,” said Jaishankar at

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): A two-member team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been sent to Bihar after three persons arrested by the State police claimed that Pakistan’s ISI was behind two recent train accidents near Kanpur.

The Home Ministry has also sought reports from the State government and Central security agencies on the disclosures of the trio, Moti Paswan, Uma Shankar and Mukesh Yadav to the Bihar police. An official said it was too early to state conclusively that Pakistan’s ISI was involved in the train accidents. But the possibility was not being ruled out.

Central intelligence agencies were now questioning the three accused.

Debatable stands

ince the past few months, public in Nagaland have been thinking and talking about the stands taken by the government and some women leaders on one side and the apex tribe organisations and civic society groups on the other side; with regard to certain clauses under the Nagaland Municipal Act and in particular, the highly debated 33% women reservation. The government has its own reason for pushing for early elections to the Urban Local Bodies(ULBs) and which has been reported a number of times. So also the women leaders who have spearheaded the demand for ensuring the elections to ULBs include implementation of the 33% women reservation. The government has been issuing many statements on the reasons or obligations in calling for early elections There can be no doubt that the compelling reasons were not exactly because those in positions suddenly felt a heavy responsibility to be loyal to the constitution over which they had taken oath of allegiance etc and to hold elections come what may. It is also presumed that many legislators, through compulsions, have not raised their voices. There has been enough indication that pushing through the decision by jumping the gun, when the Supreme Court was yet to give its final judgment on the Special Leave Petition(SLP) filed by leaders of the Joint Action Committee on Women Reservation(JACWR) on the plea that the state government was going to lose the case and anyway litigation was too expensive to bear; are specious arguments. In the same yardstick, the government should also surrender the legal battle over the issue of PIL filed against the government by the Lotha Hoho. There cannot be two different yardsticks over the two cases which also incidentally, involve the issue of Article 371A. The tribe organisations represent all, both men and women, and their concerns are not about depriving the rights of any but how these can be best addressed through the wisdom of the tribe bodies and institutions. The government may be or may not be correct to apportion supreme rights to courts in deciphering Article 371A since such a view obviates the recognition of the Article as being supreme over Parliament and its interpretation; since the Article recognises the tribes of Nagaland as the custodians of their own traditional and customary laws. In this regard, the government elected by the people/tribes ought to play a catalytic role as guardians of their people including Article 371A and safeguard it against a dichotomy of interpretations of brilliant lawyers in Delhi or other metro cities, who have very little idea or inclination about the sentiments and way of life of the Nagas; which is a crucial aspect for which the constitution of India provides special protection. Article 243T and Article 371A are in different compartments with the people being the only link. Both are constitutional provisions and not acts of parliament and used for different purposes. Article 243T is applicable and obligatory but Article 371A gives the Nagas a different take. The government seems to have mortgaged Article 371A by this stand and also left the tribes on the lurch and instead of playing the role of mediator, it has become a confronter. In conclusion, the acts or Articles of parliament and constitution may change but one thing that is clear- the people and their identities can never change.

DailyDevotion Vision and Darkness When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. —Genesis 15:12 Whenever God gives a vision to a Christian, it is as if He puts him in “the shadow of His hand” (Isaiah 49:2).

The saint’s duty is to be still and listen. There is a “darkness” that comes from too much light— that is the time to listen. The story of Abram and Hagar in Genesis 16 is an excellent example of listening to so-called good advice during a time of darkness, rather than waiting for God to send the light. When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word.

Abram went through thirteen years of silence, but in those years all of his self-sufficiency was destroyed.

He grew past the point of relying on his own common sense. Those years of silence were a time of discipline, not a period of God’s displeasure. There is never any need to pretend that your life is filled with joy and confidence; just wait upon God and be grounded in Him (see Isaiah 50:10-11).

Do I trust at all in the flesh? Or have I learned to go beyond all confidence in myself and other people of God? Do I trust in books and prayers or other joys in my life? Or have I placed my confidence in God Himself, not in His blessings? “I am Almighty God…”— El-Shaddai, the All-Powerful God (Genesis 17:1). The reason we are all being disciplined is that we will know God is real. As soon as God becomes real to us, people pale by comparison, becoming shadows of reality.

Nothing that other saints do or say can ever upset the one who is built on God.

Post-mortem

calamitous Naga People, the guardian Post-demonetisation: fall in performance of economy of ‘Great Eastern corridor’ T T he Naga people and its territorial area still in the yolk of civilization, subjected by forceful occupation by Indian intriguing British colonial legacy claim is currently the most close yet silently watched regions in the world, also known as “Great Eastern corridor”. Situated in tri-junction border of the three giant countries India, China and Myanmar, it not only consolidates relationships and trade links with south East Asia and beyond but holds the key and gate way for socio-economic transformation.

In fact this untapped and highly potential area is observed by many experts as the “future green economic reserves zone”. The shift of interest and policy by Government of India (GoI) towards “Act East” with ASEAN countries and northeast in particular is in fact India’s top agenda for “multi-prong Future oriented strategy” besides trade and commerce it shall determine India’s future as power house in challenging competitive world. The traditional relationship with war torn Middle East can no longer sustain India growing demands or survival nor its counterpart, the rising red Dragon and the neighboring countries come to its aid. Thus, it has not only initiated major economic reforms and transformation policy within but has set up new approach for long term strategy internationally as well. It is interesting to note that Naga people and its areas (Asia Golden Route) shall be the Game changer across Asia -pacific region in future, which most of us are still blind to.

Currently, the main focus and attention is now on the renewed efforts to solve the Naga political problem honorably and genuinely

by Government of India (GoI) under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi, whom he acknowledges that Naga people’s rights is betrayed and trampled upon for very long due to wrong reasons, now looks for equal partnership and building the future together as two entities, meanwhile calling the Naga people as“the guardian of eastern corridor’ in Historic speech on 3rd August, 2015 .

We have now entered into new millennia; times when the world has embraced space age technologies and civilization set across space frontiers, we are yet to see the light of the day unless harness the Era of Nagas by seizing the given golden opportunity.

Let us all look beyond these realms of realties where time, space, energy and matters can articulate our future. Our forefather’s efforts and their sacrifices is today, we are all here with rich legacy of cultural diversity and history passed down to us in this 21st century proud to be known as “Nagas”.

The Government of India (GoI) recognizing “unique History and Situation of Nagas” on June 11, 2002 is indeed a historical landmark achievement for all of us.

Our land has high potential and is still untapped, rich in mines and minerals besides vast Bio-diversity and human Resources too. We are standing on an unimaginable heap of treasures and in putting a little effort to our today’s spade work would certainly transform our future prospective. Our orientation based on sustainable regenerating concept and by refining our culture with modern civilization would guarantee the future.

Today’s leaders and elders of our times should sow the good seeds they possess to the younger generation “the builder of future” besides encouraging them; psychological revolution starting from each one of us is the need of an hour. The influence of other culture and imitating alien customs into our lifestyle needs to be corrected as it has affected our identity and unless we safeguards it, our history and culture is at the receiving end of vanishing in future.

Everything has season, and Time has come for all of us to step out from our conservative and possessive attitude seeded by Indian and Myanmar arbitrary and imaginary boundary lines and policies. Our land and people are indivisible as much as our body is to spirit without which we don’t exist at all, Naga people across the universe where ever they may be are one. We are all one family and families don’t have walls, instead

we should start taking care of our ancestral land and encroachment by vested policies, alien cultures invasion and illegal immigrants around us to name a few. The illegitimate pride and arrogance born from the lust of money and power has tempered of once who we are “honest and humble identity”, self destruction is inevitable unless we restore our nature and phenomena with moral and integrity. Humility and messengers of peace and harmony is a way of Christian life, after all at the end of the day down, it is 3 feet by 6 feet and it’s all about love and truth.

It is through the continuous unflinching spirit and unwavering support of our people’s love, care and support for the Naga people’s self determination that NSCN has come thus far to the historic signing of “Framework Agreement” on 3rd August 2015 after 19 years long political negotiation with Government of India (GoI) where now a final settlement is around the corner, which solution is based outside the constitution and union of India while recognizing every aspects of our Nagas legitimate rights without compromising the principles.

Right decision at the right time serves the concept and purposes of everything. Squabbling amongst ourselves exhibits our nakedness only; germinating good qualities is an essence of every responsible leaders and individuals. Our past leaders have done their part and left us a rich legacy.

Now it is our time to continue the journey and the Era of Nagas has set in, it is right time for all of us to set good examples and inspire.

I believe there’s no as such things that cannot be sorted out in our Naga family nor the wounds and collateral damages borne by revolutionary times. The coming together of other NPGs in the right platform at these opportune times would commemorate the “final Naga Political solution” in a much cherished and meaningful way. Let us all come together in fulfilling the Naga people’s dreams and Aspiration. Kuknalim.

he short-term disruptions in certain segments of the economy, cash crisis may not have hobbled economy. In the post-demonetisation phase, the government’s tax revenues have ended up soaring in the month of November 2016 over the year of November 2015. This is in stark contrast to the expectations of widespread economic disruption dragging down tax revenues. Data published by the Controller General of Accounts, the gross tax revenues rose by 54 per cent in November 2016 up from the last year, with both direct and indirect taxes registering strong growth. Within direct taxes, both corporate and income tax collections rose sharply in the same period. Collections from corporate tax have risen despite expectations of corporate top lines being hit by demonetisation (from -85.1% to 44.3%), Indirect tax collections have also seen robust growth (from 22.2% to 44.3%). But it is perplexing that Union Excise duties have shown robust growth (-85.1% to 43.4%) despite industrial production being lacklustre.

Initial reports of industrial and economic activity in November and December2016 have shown mild to strong growth in some sectors, belying fears of a calamitous fall in performance due to demonetisation.

An analysis of various indicators made by Economic Times Intelligence Group revealed growth in rail freight, port tonnage, fuel consumptions and power generation. Tractor sales are up and industrial output for November rose 5.7% contradicting expectations of tepid growth. Capital goods output was up 15% in November, the first time the sector has growth in nearly a year, Tw0-wheeler sales were down in November and December, but Maruti’s car sales grew 5% in December in rural areas.

Data for December 2016, to a large extent, captured the full impact of demonetisation since some payments may have been made in old currency notes before November 8. Data from the Central Electricity show power generation, which is considered

a proxy to the trend in industrial activity, grew 6% year-on-year, nearly twice the pace in December 2015. Power plants in south India led overall growth.

Other key indicators of industrial activity such as rail freight, diesel consumption and port tonnage also grew in December. Rail freight grew 4% compared with a 5.4% drop a year ago. Port tonnage grew 13.7% compared with just 2% a year ago. Diesel consumption rose by 1% in December.

Exports were up 5.72% in December. Central Excise tax collections were 31.6% higher in December. State Vat collections witnessed 18.1% rise in November and 8.9% rise in December.

Rabi sowing was 5.9% that is higher crop area in 2016.

As per the data published by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), the country’s GDP growth rate for the current financial year is set to slow to 6% on account of demonetisation and is expected to maintain the same rate for five years.

Steps for Building India: Consumption demand and investment cycle needs to be boosted reducing personal income tax.

India’s human potential with strengthening the services sector through “Skill India” initiative and ‘Training the trainers’ initiative. Demonetisation would lead to digitisation in a major way. However, adequate investment in Cyber Security must be made to protect the data and people. Political Governance and transparent political funding is required to ensure check on sources of black money. For helping the rural economy, focus should remain on irrigation, rural road building and rural health and education.

The fiscal deficit has already reached 86 per cent of the budgeted amount, but since tax revenues are likely to end up overshooting expectations, they may create extra fiscal space for the government to boost spending in order to offset the adverse impact of demonetisation.

Connecting Naga customary law with 33% reservation for Naga women

M

any distinguished writers have already expressed their thoughts on the issue of the policy of reservation of elective posts for Naga women in the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) across the state as prescribed by the provisions of the Indian constitution. I would like to specifically mention the article, titled “Customs, Traditions and Usages,” written by our learned legal luminary P. Pius Lotha, former Additional Advocate General which appeared in Nagaland Post, dated 18th January 2017. This article precisely defines the three terms viz. custom, tradition and usage from the legal perspective leaving no scope for ambiguity. The article also states that the provision of women reservation is covered under the ambit of Naga customary laws and practices and as such is relevant for Art. 371A, to which I personally also agree to his opinion. Allow me to take this opportunity to also express my views on the same issue however from a different angle which is subject to analysis for criticism or appreciation as the case maybe. This article is by no means an exhaustive article since many other scholars are working on the same topic today from different angles. The objective of writing this article is to make an attempt to connect the two contentious elements of our contemporary Naga society viz. Customary Practices and Women Reservation on the basis of gender disparity. At the outset I humbly declare that I am a staunch supporter of the process which aims to

take our society to the next higher level of human “civilization” but taking along with us our customs and practices as passed down by our ancestors to remind us and our succeeding generations about our roots and unique customs which God has blessed us with and which has made the Naga people distinct and special.

I personally feel that I have an obligation to protect, preserve and transfer the customs and traditions of our ancestors to the succeeding generation as a token of my gratitude to our ancestors for laying the foundation of the modern Naga society with great vision and wisdom. This wisdom and vision are seen in the context of the “letter to the Simon Commission,” “the 9 Point Agreement,” and “the 16 Point Agreement.”

The interaction between Naga customar y practices and the liberal democratic practices in our society has reached a critical stage today where the two practices may either reconcilewith each other resulting in a progressive society with a strong cultural root or clash against each other and polarise the Naga society into two extreme segments of the traditionalist and the modernist each pulling the Naga society in the opposite direction. The modern liberal democratic system is based on individual rights and liberties.

Whereas the Naga customary practices are based on community based rights and liberties. The present imbroglio concerning 33% reservation of elective post in the Urban Local Bodies for Naga women and

the Naga customary laws exactly manifest the clash of the traditional and contemporary practices in our society today. It indicates that we are in a transition stage and we need to be very careful and sensitive to the pressure exerted upon our customs and practices to adapt to the present “universal” culture both from within and outside our society. Our response as a society to the demands of this adaptation so as to qualify as a “civilized” modern society must be on the basis of broad-base discussion covering the cross-section of our society. This cautious mode of approach to the process of modernization is necessary so as to proceed ahead without missing a step in our march to progress. In our effort to build a progressive society we must not blindly adapt to the prevailing universal “culture” for the sake of replicating the type of society prevailing in the civilized modern society in the western part of our globe. The ground reality in our society is not similar like the other civilized societies of this world. Remember the stage of progress of our society today has been already experienced by the civilized modern society ages ago. Therefore, what seems to be good for the other civilized societies may not necessarily benefit our Naga society for the reason that we are superseding the intermediary levels of progress which is potentially dangerous since the societal base becomes weak. The remark of the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru sometime before the inauguration of the 16th

state of India speaks volume about the utility and relevance of the indigenous structure and system for governance then and even now from a great statesman like Nehru. Prime Minister Nehru had remarked that the Naga traditional machinery of self-governance at village, range and tribal levels should be strengthened. He even suggested that tribal names be given to the Legislative Assembly and to the Council of Ministers.

Moreover, the then Governor of Assam Jairamdas Daulatram had also warned in 1951, “The Nagas should not be forced to practice the adult franchise system... The minute they are forced to go with the Indian system of election, their society will be divided into pieces and their cultural heritage, tradition and identity will disappear.” The remark of the then Governor of Assam seems to be turning out as a “prophecy” about our Naga society considering the state of our society today. What may seem to suit others does not necessarily imply that it has universal applicability.

In this interface of the traditional structures and practices with the modern structures and practice the role of the state is crucial for avoiding conflict and polarization within the society. The state with its formal law-making and law-enforcement authority can soften incongruous or incompatible elements of both the traditional and modern systems so as to create a congenial transition of the Naga society to a modern progressive society with a strong cultural root, which sadly is missing in

our case today. are more important than a The state seem to be stable society.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Time for wisdom

As the issue on ULB gets murkier and the debate lingers on, one feels the issue should be looked at on a larger perspective.

We are living in an age and time where our very existence is in threat. The general perception is that, we have a deficit of genuine leaders, who cannot rise up beyond personal gains and comfort in decision making and wellbeing of the masses. The issue is not wanting to deny reservations to our women folks, but it is the aftermath. The fear is, the infringement upon our rights thinly protected by the Article 371 A of our constitution - our core source of survival in this harsh environment. For whatever reasons the powers at the helm are supporting and hell bent on conducting the Municipal elections with women reservations, which is of course well within their rights, and which we leave it to their own wisdom, one must not forget what is in the offing tomorrow. Once infringed upon, our rights and practices has every scope of being penetrated and diluted further, thereby destroying our very existence.

Chances are that, tomorrow there may be curtails on what we eat, dress and worship. We may be forced to follow alien cultures and practices. Christmas day may be sacred no more, ILP may be abolished, our lands and rivers may be exploited.... so on and so forth. Most of which (Liberties) hinges upon the Article 371 A. I have no grudges on our women folks, all are equal. It is the deception, using our women as baits, which is bothersome. As it is, our women are more than capable to contest and win an election not as reserved candidates but on their abilities. If ever wisdom is needed - one feels this is the time, Looking at the larger perspective. The rest I leave it to the wise and the learned. God bless Nagaland.

East, who were expected to follow certain prescribed format like Bollywood which constrained and limited the space for creative writing.

Kire said during the nineties, writers were often made to believe that there was a certain way of writing, a formula and a pattern that needed to be followed.

She brought into picture the dominating figure that governed the literary world by dictating specific themes for the writers (North Eastern in this case) and the perplexity and chasm that followed if one didnot subscribed to the formula. Kire voiced against such dictation saying

that the existence of such rule and formula deprived the writers of their independence to think creatively.

Kire concluded her remark with, “We will write what we want to write, not what we are expected to write”.

(From p-1) Asked to comment on former minister Kheto’s charges against the NPF, Khekaho said both BJP and NPF were a coalition partner in the state, adding that in parliamentary democracy it was a collective responsibility where “we either sink or float together.”

Khekaho also maintained that weaknesses, if any, could be internally resolved and not in public domain.

Encouraging the NPF ticket holders to give their best efforts to win, Nungsang reminded them that they were the lucky ones to have got the NPF tickets that were sought by many.

He assured them that NPF party would support them with all possible help. Meanwhile, NPF would be campaigning every evening from 3pm in two wards daily till January 28.

(From p-1) He pointed that the border fencing was also not in tune with the ‘Free Movement Regime’ shared by both India and Myanmar. Zeliang said: “unlike the country’s borders with Pakistan, people of the area have been living peacefully together since time immemorial and there is no need for border fencing as far as these areas are concerned.” He informed the minister that communities living on both sides of the border share close cultural and social affinities, while some also hold lands on both sides. With government of India focused on ‘Act East policy’, to improve trade and communications across the Indo-Myanmar border, he opined that fencing the boundaries would defeat the very purpose of the policy.

CMO said Rajnath had informed Zeliang that MHA had written to the Ministry of External Affairs to take up with the Government of Myanmar “not to proceed with border fencing on their side”.

It may be mentioned that the state government had on December 22 last, written to the Home Ministry to take up the matter with the Government of Myanmar to avoid border fencing. Construction of boundary fencing between BP 145 and 146 by the Government of Myanmar bordering Noklak sub division was taken up for discussion at the 22nd Sectoral Level Meeting between the Government of Myanmar and the Government of India on December 19 last, CMO stated.

On Wednesday, hundreds of Congress party protesters gheraoed the RBI office in New Delhi and elsewhere, shouting slogans denouncing demonetisation and the Centre’s role in “destruction of the RBI’s autonomy”.

Also on Wednesday, Patel appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance and told them that Rs 9.2 lakh crore of new currency notes have been put in circulation since the high-value currency notes were demonetised on November 8.

In another revelation about how the crucial decision on demonetisation was taken by the RBI at a day’s notice, Patel also told the Parliamentary panel that the RBI had been “advised” by the government on November 7 to hold a board meeting on the issue.

Under the IPC 1860, forgery and cheating are non- bailable offence, which means that bail can only be granted by a court.

Most other offences like availing of wrong input tax credit or refund and failure to furnish documents, which were earlier listed in the revised draft GST law for prosecution, will not lead to arrest but may attract only financial penalty.

While the policy actions have already shown positive effects, nevertheless, they are work in progress and need to be finetuned constantly to keep pace with the challenging environment,” he said.

The RBI employee unions last week, in a letter addressed to Patel, expressed their deep concern over alleged interference by the central government in the affairs of the apex bank.

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

New Delhi, Jan 19 (PTI): To make GST regime less onerous, the Centre and states have decided to water down the penal provisions to ensure a trader gets immediate bail if the alleged tax evasion is up to Rs 2 crore.

“Let me emphasise that one thing we should all zealously guard is the integrity and reputation of our organisation and any act belittling the same should deserve zero tolerance from all of us,” Patel said in an email in his first address to Reserve Bank staff after taking over as governor in September last year.

Barack Obama’s parting words to Americans: ‘We’re going to be OK’ WASHINGTON, JAN 19 (PTI): In his parting message before Donald Trump takes over, President Barack Obama today assured Americans that “we’re going to be OK” but vowed to protect US’ “core values” and speak up against issues like discrimination, muzzling of press freedom and rounding up of young immigrants.

“At my core I think we’re going to be OK,” Obama said as he concluded his final news conference at the White House.

“We just have to fight for it, work for it, and not take it for granted,” he said.

Obama said he has given his best advice to his successor Trump to whom he would pass on the baton tomorrow. “I have offered my best advice, counsel about certain issues both foreign and domestic,” Obama said, describing his conversations with the President-elect.

“And my working assumption is, is that having won an election opposed to a number of my initiatives and certain aspects of my vision for where the country needs to go, it is appropriate for him to go forward with his vision and his values. I don’t expect that there’s going to be enormous overlap,” the 55-year-old said. He said now his priorities would be to do some writing, spend some time with his two daughters and Michelle. “I want to do some writing, I

want to be quiet a little bit and not hear myself talk so darn much. I want to spend precious time with my girls,” he said.

However, he said any effort to enforce systematic discrimination, erode voting rights, muzzle the press or round up young immigrants, would cause him to speak out. “There’s a difference between that normal functioning of politics and certain issues or certain moments where I think our core values may be at stake.”

During the campaign, Trump vowed to ban Muslims from entering the United States and deport millions of illegal immigrants.

After Trump’s victory in the November 8 presidential elections, Obama has met his successor only once, but the two leaders have spoken over phone quite frequently

2016 deadliest year for journalists in Afghanistan, says watchdog KABUL, JAN 19 (AFP): Afghanistan suffered its deadliest year on record for journalists in 2016, according to a report released today which said the country is the second most dangerous for reporters in the world after Syria. As least 13 journalists were killed last year, the Afghan Journalists’ Safety Committee (AJSC) said, adding that the Taliban was behind at least ten of the deaths.

The committee also found 101 cases of violence against the media in 2016, a 38 percent increase on 2015, underscoring the threat against a small band of media workers who put their lives on the line to report events in their war-torn country. “This increase in violence against journalists has turned Afghanistan into the second most dangerous country for journalists in the world, after Syria,” Najib Sharifi, chairman of the

committee, told reporters on Thursday. The report noted that a shift in the Taliban’s policy towards the media was the “main driver of the increase in the level of threats and deadly violence against journalists”.

with the last one being reported to be on Monday.

“I won’t go into details of my conversations with President-elect Trump. They are cordial. At times they’ve been fairly lengthy and they’ve been substantive. I can’t tell you how convincing I’ve been. I think you’d had to ask him whether I’ve been convincing or not,” he said when asked about the details of his conversations.

Obama said it may be that on certain issues, once Trump comes into office and he looks at the complexities of how to, in fact, provide healthcare for everybody -something he says he wants to do or wants to make sure that he is encouraging job creation and wage growth in this country, “that may lead him to some of the same conclusions that he arrived at once I got here”.

I recommend one or two of the bishops to take it too,” Duterte said, reported the ABS-CBN network.

He said in a speech on Wednesday that the church is aware of how grave the problem of drugs is in the country and yet they are unwilling to support it.

Several alleged drug addicts and traffickers were killed in Manila early Thursday by police or neighbourhood patrols as part of the President’s ongoing “war on drugs”, Efe news reported.

DAVOS, JAN 19 (PTI): Asserting that the UK will retain its “internationalist” approach despite Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May today said the country’s biggest manufacturer Tata is Indian, but still there cannot be anything more British than its product Jaguar Land Rover.

May called upon the world to engage with each other to ensure globalisation and free trade works for all and benefits everyone.

According to her, forces of free trade and globalisation that have harnessed wealth and opportunities across the world and broken down the barriers are somehow at risk of being undermined.

High-rise fire in Iran kills 30 firefighters TEHRAN, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): A high-rise building in Tehran engulfed by a fire collapsed on Thursday, killing at least 30 firefighters and injuring some 75 people, state media reported.

The disaster struck the Plasco building, an iconic structure in central Tehran just north of the capital’s sprawling bazaar. Firefighters, soldiers and other emergency responders dug through the rubble, looking for survivors. Iranian authorities did not immediately release definitive casualty figures, which is common in unfolding disasters.

Iran’s state-run Press TV announced the firefighters’ deaths, without giving a source for the information.

Local Iranian state television said 30 civilians were injured in the disaster, while the state-run IRNA news agency said 45 firefighters had been injured.

ISLAMABAD, JAN 19 (PTI): Embattled Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today faced an united Opposition in parliament as they moved a privilege motion against his “untruthful” speech on the floor of the House on the Panamagate case. The privilege motion, which was submitted by Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah, referred to a plea by the prime minister’s counsel in the Supreme Court in the ongoing Panamagate case. “The plea taken by the prime minister’s lawyer in Supreme Court on January 16, to do away with Prime Minister’s speech delivered in the NA while explaining the trail of funds used to purchase properties in London and elsewhere as mentioned in Panama Papers, using Article 66 as a shield, are an admission that the Prime Minister did not tell the truth to the assembly,” the motion signed by seven other lawmakers said. The motion has been submitted over discrepancy in the premier’s statement in the lower House of Parliament and his counsel’s statement in the apex court.

Elections for over 300 local councils have been on hold since 2015 due to the need to reform the system with a mixture of the first past and proportional representation.

“We have to look at the first past the post system unfavourably because it will reduce our chances,” said Rauff Hakeem, the leader of the Muslim Congress and the Minister of Urban Development. “We urge the local government minister to delay the gazetting of the delimitation commission report.

The building came down in a matter of seconds, shown live on state television, which had begun an interview with a journalist at the scene. A side of the building came down first, tumbling perilously close to a firefighter perched on a ladder and spraying water on the blaze.

A thick plume of brown smoke rose over the site after the collapse. Onlookers wailed in grief.

Among those watching the disaster unfold was Masoumeh Kazemi who said she rushed to the building as her two sons and a brother had jobs in the garment workshops occupying the upper floors of the high-rise.

“I do not know where they are now,” Kazemi said, crying. In a nearby intersection, Abbas Nikkhoo stood with tears in his eyes. “My nephew was working in a workshop there,” he said.

Many feared dead in Italy avalanche

AMATRICE, JAN 19 (AFP): Several children were among more than 25 people unaccounted for, feared dead, today after an avalanche engulfed a mountain hotel in earthquake-ravaged central Italy.

The national civil protection agency said the Hotel Rigopiano had suffered a direct hit by a twometre high wall of snow yesterday.

Emergency services were struggling to get ambulances and excavation equipment to the remote site with the first snow plough only arriving just before midday.

Italian broadcasters showed images of piles of masonry and rubble inside the hotel, which had been moved some ten metres from its original location by the force of the snow.

Local officials confirmed that one body had been recovered from the ruins and that two guests who were not inside when the avalanche struck had been saved.

Civil protection chief Fabrizio Curcio said there had been around 30 guests

Priyanka Chopra wins second People’s Choice Award for Quantico D

Digital magazine ‘Rave’ gets a makeover

T

rust Priyanka Chopra to always come back with a vengeance.

After she had us all worried with her on-set injury last week, Priyanka was seen in action once again at the People’s Choice Awards 2017. And she not only won the red carpet obviously, she won her second People’s Choice Award for Quantico as well. The actor defeated her ABC counterparts Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson, and Viola Davis to win in Favourite Dramatic TV

Actress award.

Speaking about her injury on Quantico’s sets, the actor told media, “I was a little nervous, I didn’t know if I would make it, but I got so bored sitting on my couch for three days.”

While shooting in New York on January 12, she slipped and fell, hitting her head. She had to be hospitalised after suffering a concussion. “I was supposed to be saving someone, as usual, Alex Parrish-style,” Priyanka added in the report, saying,

“The doctors said another couple of days and I should be okay.” She also thanked her fans for sending their love.

However, at People’s Choice red carpet, Priyanka showed no signs of being under the weather.

Dressed in a peach ensemble by Sally LaPointe, she said in her acceptance speech, “I am really happy being a drama queen and this is how it is done, thank you to the people. As everyone has been saying, it has been an incredible journey.

Sia releases music video from ‘Lion’ soundtrack

S

inger and songwriter Sia has released the music video for her song ‘Never Give Up’.

The Grammy-nominated singer’s new number is featured in the soundtrack of the Garth Davis-directed film ‘Lion’, starring BritishIndian star Dev Patel.

The 40-year-old Australian musician also shared the song’s lyric video on her Twitter account to ring in the New Year.

‘Never Give Up’ got 225,448 (and counting) views on YouTube within hours of going online. Ardent Sia fans will, however, be a little disappointed as the singer continues to remain hidden in the video, yet again. ‘Lion’ stars Australian actress Nicole tel. The film also boasts Naval, Tannishtha ChatterKidman, American actress of Bollywood names like jee and actor Nawazuddin Rooney Mara besides Pa- veteran film actress Deepti Siddiqui.

Never wrote open letter to PM about Dawood: Sunil Grover

Actor-comedian Sunil Grover, the leading man and the only point of interest in the much-discussed Dawood Ibrahim satire “Coffee With D”, says he never wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to nab the underworld don as was portrayed by the makers of the movie.

In December last year, an open letter by Sunil to Modi was circulated in the media. Its aim was to urge the government to expedite the process of Dawood’s trial for his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.

The letter was shared with IANS by the publicist of “Coffee with D” -- a film which revolves around a journalist’s attempt to fix an interview with Dawood and how he manages it in the end.

Now, as Sunil has kept himself away from the movie’s publicity, he says K

Y M C

he never wrote the letter.

“I never wrote that open letter to Modiji. Anyone who knows me would know that it isn’t my language at all. The film’s makers released that letter without my consent,” Sunil said.

The film’s maker’s director Vishal Mishra and producer Vinod Rahani -- have been claiming that they were receiving threat calls. And they have been upset that Sunil has not promoted the film at all.

The actor justifies it by saying: “It’s very simple.

I haven’t been shown the film. I don’t know what the content is. I asked the producer-director Vishal Mishra repeatedly to be shown the film, and he kept saying I’ll be shown the film.”

“But eventually, he didn’t show it to me. Aajkal-aaj-kal mein waqt nikal gaya (Time just went by).

Now it’s too late.”

Every single woman who was nominated with me today, all these incredible actresses were the reason that I joined television.

They were the reason that I am here today, receiving this award in the same category as them is so overwhelming. Thank you to all who have accepted me and liked my show, can I do a little wiggle?

Sorry, that is the concussion talking.

Thank you and this means the world to me.”

She also thanked the entire cast and crew of “Quantico”, her first Hollywood project.

Priyanka’s mother and Baywatch co-star Dwayne Johnson was among the audience.

Priyanka will make her Hollywood debut with Baywatch in summer this year. Taking to Twitter after her win, Priyanka wrote to her fans, “Big to my #PCManiacs & all who voted for all the love you’ve given #Alex Parrish. Tune in to @QuanticoTV now on Mondays, from Jan 23rd.”

igital music magazine “Rave” is getting a makeover and will be focussed on home grown independent music. Spearheaded by Rishi Shah, Publisher and CEO at Crossbones Media, the pre-launch of the magazine saw the presence of celebrities like Padam Prakash Gupta, Kunal Ganjawala, Komal Rampal, Hrishitaa Bhatt and DJ Sheizwood.

Shah said: “Rave is the axis of music in India”.

When I left Rave in February 2009, it was because I thought I had done all that I could do to the best of my abilities in the area of music, media and for emerging artistes.

“After eight years, away from music, the greatest artistes in India, the agencies and most importantly my colleagues and the media asked me to come back because as my dear friend Dr. L Subramaniam said, “Rishi, I have a new presentation of my violin but I cannot do it without Rave. I realized that no media platform was able to fill the void left by my departure and Rave’s departure from the Indian music landscape.”

eatles legend Paul McCartney has filed a lawsuit against Sony/ATV Music Publishing seeking to regain the copyright of many of his compositions for The Beatles in the 1960s and 1970s.

Some of the singles mentioned include “Yesterday”, “Hey Jude”, “Let it be”, “Love me do”, “P.S. I love you”, “Thank you girl”, “Bad to me”, “I want to hold your hand” and “All you need is love”.

McCartney began to serve termination notices in October 2008. The terminations begin to be effective in 2018.

C u t tac k , Ja n 1 9 (PTI): Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni turned the clock back with a batting masterclass as the old warhorses’ twin tons powered India to a 15-run win over England in the second One-day International and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series here today.

Coming into bat with India struggling at 25 for three, Yuvraj and Dhoni brought into play their years of experience to not only bail the team out of trouble, but also propel

them to a formidable 381 for six in the stipulated 50 overs.

In re ply, England fought to the end with captain Eoin Morgan leading the chase with a swashbuckling century, only for his side to fall short narrowly at the packed Barabati Stadium.

Needing 22 off the final over, seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept his nerves and conceded a mere six runs, even as triumphant skipper Virat Kohli punched his fist in the air in jubilation.

Despite being set a mammoth target, England

were in the game as long as Morgan was in the middle, but bowler Jasprit Bumrah put paid to the visiting side’s hopes when he calmly ran out the England skipper in the non-striker’s end after he backed up too far.

Invited to bat, Yuvraj (150 off 127 balls) and Dhoni (134 off 122) forged a record 256-run partnership to put their team in a position of strength from a precarious one.

Yuvraj Singh was on fire from ball one and hammered 21 fours and three sixes in his career-best knock in ODIs. Dhoni too crossed the three-figure mark after a while with his last hundred coming way back in 2013 when he struck an unbeaten 139 against Australia at Mohali. He ended up hammering 10 fours and half a dozen sixes, scoring his 10th ODI hundred in the process and first since handing over captaincy to Kohli.

Brief Scores: India 381/6 (Yuvraj 150, Dhoni 134; Woakes 4/60) beat England 366/8 (Morgan 102, Roy 82; Ashwin 3/65) by 15 runs

Istomin stuns Djokovic at Australian Open

Denis Istomin celebrates his victory over Novak Djokovic.

Melbourne, Jan 19 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : N ova k Djokovic’s hopes of a record-breaking seventh Australian Open title were shattered by an inspired Denis Istomin in a five-set thriller on Thursday.

The Serb has owned Melbourne Park for almost a decade, but his reign came to an end in the second round, 7-6 (10-8) 5-7 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena.

Unheralded Istomin recorded the biggest win of his career and boosted Andy Murray’s chances of winning his first Grand Slam Down Under.

Istomin, who hit 63

winners, edged it after a dramatic tie-break and the 30-year-old simply refused to fold when second seed Djokovic hit back to win the second and third sets.

After clinching the fourth on another tie-breaker to send the match into a decider, Istomin made the vital break in the fifth game of the deciding set, then held service the rest of the way in the marathon four hour, 48 minute contest.

It means after winning four consecutive Grand Slams between 2015 and 2016, Djokovic has now gone three tournaments without adding to his tally of 12 major triumphs.
