women representation in non-traditional institutions like the state legislative assembly and Urban local bodies.

He also said it was necessary to provide reservation to women in politics just as in government jobs and in technical education for the backward tribes and communities etc.

Zeliang lamented the despite claims of Naga history being unique due to its rich culture and tradition and also duly recognised by the government of India, some tribe organisations had taken certain actions against its own brothers and sisters which were not as per Naga customary system.

He therefore appealed to such organizations “not

to misuse the unique customary system, which was well crafted with great wisdom”. “As freedom loving people living in a modern civilized society, let us respect each other’s views/ opinions and the due process of law and refrain from taking the law into our own hands,” he asserted.

would be to look at the needs of the girl child, access to food, education, health care; a loving and caring environment at home and outside.

While underlining the need to provide good water supply to the households in the State, he also emphasised on the urgency to provide good health care and educational facilities to womenfolk, especially the girl child.

Earlier delivering the opening remark, Secretary, Department of Social Welfare, Dellirose M. Sakhrie stated that Nagaland has been celebrating National Girl Child Day since 2008 at the Anganwadi Centres, it was only this year that it was being celebrated at the state

level. She reiterated that the occasion was not only to remove discrimination, exploitation of all kinds but also to secure the rights and provide girl child with equal opportunities in all spheres etc.

Mission director SRCW, Daisy Mezhur stressed on the need for mothers to change their mind-set by allowing the girl child to participate in various activities instead of restricting them.

Mezhur also appealed to all to give the girl child, a dream, a dream of hope, equality, dignity, and opportunity for better future making and to make the child an asset. She further appealed to the chief minister to consider ‘Girl Child’s Policy’ even in Nagaland.

The programme was chaired by a nine old girl-Jentina Yaomei Shangkhu while Benjongsola Jamir and Ruovilhou Kense, both 11 year old girl and boy presented special number making the event more attractive.

Govt. to pump in Rs 5500 cr ZTYO backs JCC’s ENWO plea to allow ULB elections in NE to beef up connectivity demand on ULB polls GUWAHATI, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): What is expected to beef up connectivity in the insurgency dominated pockets and international border areas, Union Ministry of telecommunication will install around 6000 towers across Northeast India under the comprehensive telecom development plan for Northeast India.

Secretary department of telecommunication (DOT), J.S Deepak spent two days in Northeast India and had meeting with CMD of BSNL, Bharat Broadband Network Ltd and Rail Tel. Deepak told ET on Tuesday, “We have discussed state wise what were hurdles and what ways to overcome it were. 2017 as far as DOT is concerned is year of focus of Northeast India.”

The project will connect 8250 villages across the region in next two years. Deepak added, “We have sanctioned project for providing connectivity to 9000 villages which do not have connectivity. This has to be done in two parts; one part will be done by BSNL and other by private telecom service provide. BSNL will do this work in Arunachal Pradesh, Dima Hasao and Karbi Anglong. Tender of

this project is in process and we will launch the same next month.”

He added that second project is to connect the district and state headquarters in optical fiber ring. This is in progress and by 2018 it will be completed. Fund is not a problem and this is clear vision of Prime minister, Narendra Modi. “In two years time from 2017 and 2018, we are investing close to Rs 5500 Crore in Northeast India.”

BSNL Assam has proposed to install over 1000 mobile towers. BSNL has submitted a proposal for setting up 2000 mobile towers, out of this at least 920 towers will come up in insurgency infested and disturbed areas of KarbiAnglong and Dima Hasao, Bodoland and pockets of Upper Assam.”

Around 108 mobile towers will be installed along Indo-Bhutan and Indo-Bangladesh. Most of these towers will be run via satellite.” Deepak said that, “Northeastern states have assured that mobile towers will be allowed to installed in government buildings and radiation will be not in the way. Time taken for right of way approval and cost of it will be taken care of. There is delay in giving approval in right of way approval, states have assured they will look into it.”

DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Zunheboto Town Youth Organization (ZTYO) has endorsed its firm support on the demand of Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) to defer Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) election in the state, with a warning that it would enforce indefinite bandh within its jurisdiction in the event government ignore the appeal of the people.

Media cell of ZTYO vowed to stick by its apex organization, Sumi Hoho’s stand, a co-organising member of JCC, and warned that the state government would be held solely responsible in the event of any untoward incident occur during the enforcement of the bandh.

Reminding state government that going against the wishes of the people was against the principles of democracy, the youth organization urged the government to initiate necessary consultative process with all stakeholders so that certain amendments are made before implemented, instead of “adamantly forcing” through the ULB Act 2001, which was against the wishes of the people.

Further, the youth organization urged state government to abide by the chief minister’s statement, who categorically stated that, “elections would not be held in places where there is opposition”.

DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Eastern Nagaland Wo m e n O r g a n i s a t i o n (ENWO) has appealed to various organisations in the state opposing the urban local bodies (ULB) elections to reconsider their stand and allow elections to take place peacefully.

In a press release, ENWO president, Birila Tokiu, and vice president, Pejem Konyak, also appealed to all Naga brothers opposing women’s reservation “to change their attitude towards women and start respecting their mothers through whom they came.”

Expressing “shock” that “unchristian methods” like banishment and excommunication of the candidates was taking place in a Christian society like the Nagas, ENWO said if Naga men “truly respect their women”, then they must support women reservation in ULB. The organisation argued that reservation of seats was “right instrument”

to empower women in the state as the power of decision making and leadership in society played a vital role to empower a voice that was “being constantly suppressed.”

Further, ENWO maintained that reservation for women would also encourage and instil confidence in women, adding that unless reservation was granted, they would hesitate to come forward.

ENWO termed as “unfortunate” that in a 60member assembly, not a single member was a woman, “and yet we still claim that men and women are treated equally in Nagaland.”

Women participation in the municipality level local self government, ENWO said would enable better understanding of women’s problems and facilitating their uplift. It went on to assert that women participation and contribution would be helpful in handling matters like hygiene, sanitation, health, waste management and other civic issues that

were primary role of municipal authorities.

ENWO also said that equal participation of every section of the society in the administrative process, especially at local level, such as a municipality, was essential to a progressive society.

Pointing out that it becomes “close to impossible” for any woman to contest against a man in a society where the concept of patriarchy has been deeply rooted, the ENWO said the concept of reservation was therefore important for truly empowering women in the state.

Meanwhile, ENWO has thanked and appreciated ENPO, ENLU, ENGOA, ENSF and all the tribal leaders for standing in support of the women’s reservation. It further urged them to stand by their women till the process of elections was over, saying women needed their blessings and support to be able to take the mantle of leadership roles in the form of town councillors.

State BJP unit urges people to avail all central schemes Governor’s appeal DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): State BJP has appealed to people of the state to avail facilities to help bring development to the state by highlighting some relevant central schemes for the benefit of people.

The appeal was contained in a statement issued by state BJP general secretary (media) & spokesperson, Jaangsillung Gonmei, who pointed out that the BJP-led NDA government at the centre has launched several pro-people social security and developmental schemes to create an equitable society.

Among several schemes, meant to address the needs of people in urban and rural areas, farmers, youths, women, poor, general public, industrialists, etc. certain relevant schemes needed to be given adequate attention as necessitated to bring about an all round development.

One such scheme, the state

BJP spokesperson said was Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM), which was approved by the union cabinet on September 16, 2015 chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with an outlay of Rs. 5142.08 crore, to drive economic, social and infrastructure development in rural areas.

As the mission was to transform rural areas into an economically vibrant urban area, the state BJP said the scheme was therefore termed as “Rurban” mission.

The mission aims at development of rural growth clusters that have latent potential for growth, in all States and UTs, which would trigger overall development in the region. Those clusters would be developed by provisioning of economic activities, developing skills and local entrepreneurship and providing infrastructure amenities.

Further, those clusters would be well delineated areas with planned layouts prepared following the planning norms (as laid down in the State Town and Country Planning Acts/ similar Central or State statutes as may be applicable), which would be duly notified by the State/UTs. Finally those plans would be integrated with the district plans/master plans as the case may be.

The state governments would identify the clusters in accordance with the Framework for Implementation prepared by the Ministry of Rural Development, which would be geographically contiguous Gram Panchayats with a population of about 5000 to 15000 in desert, hilly or tribal areas.

For the selection of clusters, the Ministry of Rural Development would adopt a scientific process of cluster

selection that involves an objective analysis at the District, Sub District and Village level, of the demography, economy, tourism and pilgrimage significance and transportation corridor impact.

Following this analysis, the ministry would provide a suggestive list of sub districts to the state and the state governments would then select the clusters following a set of indicated principles included in the Framework for Implementation.

The mission aims to create 300 such Rurban growth clusters over the next three years, across the country. The funding for Rurban Clusters will be through various schemes of the Government converged into the cluster.

To ensure an optimum level of development, fourteen components have been suggested as desirable for the cluster.

The States would prepare Integrated Cluster Action Plans

for Rurban Clusters, which would be comprehensive plan documents detailing out the strategy for the cluster, desired outcomes for the cluster under the mission, along with the resources to be converged under various Central Sector, Centrally Sponsored and State Sector schemes, and the Critical Gap Funding (CGF) required for the cluster.

While these were being implemented nationwide in varying degrees and progress with astounding successes, the state BJP lamented that certain pockets of the country lacked the pace of gradual implementation. In this regard, the BJP general secretary mentioned that the BJP Nagaland unit president Visasolie Lhoungu has also appealed the people and government to avail of these facilities for the overall development of the state.

to sponsor girl child DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya on the occasion of ‘National Girl Child Day’ appealed to all social organisations, professional and commercial groups in Nagaland to sponsor girl children for education under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Scheme.

For this, a press note issued through the PRO Raj Bhavan stated that the Governor had opened a bank account in State Bank of India No. 35843617072, where a cheque can be deposited for Rs 2500 per year per child and to intimate Governor’s office by e-mail or over phone the sponsor’s name, number of girl child sponsored for education, bank details and date of deposit.

Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya in his message reminded that the National Girl Child Day was observed to reaffirm and protect the right of the child and to highlight to the citizen of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao programme.

DIMAPUR, JAN 24 (NPN): Two-day orientation programme on “educational management of children with intellectual disability” commenced here Tuesday, at DBIL, Don Bosco Higher Secondary School, Dimapur.

The programme has been organized by National institute for empowerment of persons with intellectual disabilities (DIVYAGJAN) in collaboration with Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) Nagaland.

Speaking at the inaugural prog ramme, Commissioner Disability, Nagaland Dr. Atha Vizol informed that out of nearly 20 lakh people living in Nagaland state, it has a total population 29,631 People With Disability (PWDs) as per 2011 census.

Briefing about the

various NGOs and inclusive schools institutions working with the PWDs, he said that primary school, Lerie Chazoi, Kohima was the first inclusive government school.

D r. A t h a a l s o underscored the role of Churches and its importance to understand PWDs. He lauded the NGOs especially NBCC for taking the bold step in approaching disability in a “Christ like manner” and for declaring third Sunday of November, every year, as disability Sunday.

On the importance of spreading awareness, he said that the rights of PWDs should not be depressed or deprived. Lamenting on the lack of infrastructure of PWDs in the state so far, Dr. Atha said almost all institutions/ government departments were yet to implement disability Act and it was just a matter of time that a proper office will be set up to address the need of PWDs. He appealed the government to make effort to create Composite Regional

Centre (CRC) and other centres for empowering and looking into the needs of PWDs. Accordingly, Dr. Atha also informed that thirty government buildings were selected and access audited for accessibility Indian campaign project and the proposal for the project estimate has been sent to the ministry for approval already.

He further encouraged the young generation of the state to take up specialization in the field of disabilities and contribute in making

history by turning Nagaland disability friendly state.

DDEO R. Amongla in her short speech encouraged the par ticipants to be dedicated and be humble inorder to understand the needs of PWDs. She further encouraged them to deal with the children with special needs with care and love so that with their involvement they would be able to create a better life for PWDs in the days to come.

DIMAPUR,JAN 24 (NPN):Eastern Naga National Government (ENNG) has Tuesday condemned the pre-planned attack on Assam Rifles convoy by the United Liberation Front of West Eastern South East Asia (UNLFW).

The list of such innocent tribal civilians imprisoned in the state police lock-up under false and fabricated charges goes on, the body stated.

The present government has been constantly brutalizing the ethnopolitical culture of the multi-ethnic State for a mere electoral mileage, alleged Joint Naga Civil Societies, Delhi and further added that no fairer sense of governance has ever struck the conscience of the ruling dispensation to win the hearts of the people.

“Joint Naga Civil Societies, Delhi craves that higher sense of governance must prevail upon O. Ibobi Singh as the chief minister of all and of Manipur and not of Imphal valley alone,” the statement added.

While stating that the society bats for ushering in normalcy within the state by observing rules of democratic governance and respecting the people’s voice of the Nagas rather than pushing the situation into further chaos and uncertainty, Joint Naga Civil Societies, Delhi reminded that “immediate and unconditional release of all the detained political prisoners is the necessary precondition to budge from the present political impasse.”

D I M A P U R , Jan 2 4 (NPN): The Joint Naga Civil Societies, Delhi (CJNCSD) today termed the arrest of a UBI Bank staff identified as Sangthuanang Pamei, S/o Miuhemang Pamei of Namkaolong village, Tamenglong, Manipur by the Manipur Police Commando, Imphal West District as a political witch-hunting in an attempt to criminalize the hill tribal communities.

Joint Naga Civil Societies, Delhi asserted that the case is not the first instance that the ruling dispensation has attempted to criminalize the hill tribal communities.

The State gover nment under O. Ibobi Singh has been targeting and arresting innocent tribal civilians in an effort to browbeat the hill tribals into giving obeisance to the dictates of the dominant community, alleged Joint Naga Civil Societies, Delhi in a press statement issued by secretary information and publicity wing, Sira Kharay.

The body also questioned if “every innocent civilian with a hill tribal identity automatically becomes a political suspect and whether every innocent tribal civilian with a tag of Naga identity becomes a prime NSCN (I-M) cadre suspect in the eyes of the present ruling dispensation.”

PM Modi receives UAE India under Rajiv prepared h-bomb: CIA UP polls to define future role Crown Prince at airport of Akhilesh, Mayawati, Rahul

Rahul Gandhi Akhilesh Yadav NEW DELHI, JAN 22 (AGENCIES): The outcome of UP assembly elections will define the future of several top politicians across political parties, including the likes of UP CM Akhilesh Yadav, BSP chief Mayawati, Congress veep Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka.

Winning these elections may establish Akhilesh — also the chief of Samajwadi Party — as the inheritor of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s legacy within his party and make him a contender for leading the non-Congress and non-BJP parties in 2019.

Akhilesh may find himself in the league of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik. He may turn out to be the front-runner of the third front due to the sheer number of the Lok Sabha

Mayawati

seats in UP. If Congress fails to set its house in order, the front could be the main challenger to the BJP-led NDA in 2019.

Moreover, if Akhilesh gets a second consecutive term on his own steam — he has made the UP elections presidential by turning the debate to his achievements as CM — it would be an unprecedented event in the state’s recent history.

This would give him a free hand in implementing his development plans and make SP a representative of a wider vote-base, going beyond the Yadavs and Muslims. However, a drubbing will see Akhilesh fighting battles within the SP. Mayawati is also on the brink of either emerging as a strong force or witnessing her party’s breaking up.

If she manages to get the Muslim votes along with the Jatavs, she may be able to

form the next government.

But the SP-Congress alliance may keep the minority votes away from her.

A loss for the BSP would prompt the BJP — and to some extent the Congress — to woo the Jatavs away from Mayawati. For the Congress, the prospects are likely to be better after the alliance with the SP. The other bright spot for Congress is that Priyanka is taking a more than active interest in the party’s work in UP. The clamour within the party that she should take up a post and even contest the 2019 general elections is likely to grow after these elections.

Party leaders are hopeful she will accept if only to strengthen the hands of her brother Rahul.

A loss for the BJP, which has upped the stakes in UP by claiming a repeat of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls where it won 71 out of 80 seats, would mean some dissenting voices becoming more vocal.

Party chief Amit Shah, who still enjoys the full confidence of PM Modi and appears unassailable, may find some leaders and the RSS questioning his performance. The party performed badly in Delhi and Bihar under his stewardship.

Lalu Prasad demands Bharat Ratna for Karpoori Thakur Patna, Jan 24 (IANS): RJD Chief Lalu Prasad on Tuesday sought the Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest civilian award, for late veteran socialist leader and former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur.

“We demand that Karpoori Thakur should be given Bharat Ratna,” Prasad said during a function to mark the birth anniversary of Thakur at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) office here.

He added that Karpoori Thakur deserved the Bharat Ratna.

Last year Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also demanded the Bharat Ratna for Karpoori Thakur for his contribution to social justice.

Popularly known as ‘Jan Nayak’ (people’s leader), Thakur was one of the socialist leaders close to Jayaprakash Narayan who spearheaded the movement for ‘total revolution’ as well as protests against the Emergency (1975-77).

Housing bias turning Indian cities into ghettos MUMBAI, JAN 22 (AGENCIES): On the inauguration of US President Donald Trump+ , an Indian real estate company ran an advertisement with the slogan ‘Homes that don’t discriminate’, calling for an end to prejudice in India’s housing market based on gender, religion or caste.

While the ad was unusual, the sentiment was familiar to millions of Indians who have tried to rent or buy city homes only to be denied because they were single, ate meat, were of a certain caste or from a certain region.

Informal rules and discrimination by Indian landlords to keep out religious minorities and single people are eroding the multi-cultural nature of India’s cities and dividing communities into ghettos, analysts say.

“It’s 2017 - and we’re still encountering discrimination,” said Rishi Dogra of NestAway Technologies that ran the ad.

Family quarrel

t would be unfortunate, if the current imbroglio between the state government and Naga women leaders on one side and Naga tribe organisations and civil societies, on the other side over the issue of holding elections to town and municipal councils fails to find middle ground so as to avoid an unwanted crisis that could lead to deep divisions within Naga society. The points raised by the Naga tribe organisations are not baseless as they have been around for a long time and so needed to be seriously addressed by the government. Addressing them does not imply surrendering to the demands but which would work towards bringing about a greater unity of purpose and understanding. At the same time, ignoring them would be detrimental to peace and harmony in society. The leaders of various tribe organisations are not ignorant or uninformed about the constitution as well as the legal aspects regarding Article 371A vis-a-vis tax and 33% women reservation. Granted that as per Article 243T and Part IXA, municipalities are to have 33% women reservation. However the issue is not questioning the operation of Article 243T and Part IXA but how it is rightly or wrongly, being seen as infringing upon another Article( 371A) under which the Naga people are insulated from any Act of parliament involving (I)religious or social,(II) Customary laws and procedures among others unless the state assembly by a majority vote. The responsibility of the elected members to provide adequate inputs on such issues and also enlighten and safeguard the people and their interests cannot be greater. The apprehensions stem from the facts as illustrated by lessons from other states where court interpretations have made societies feel betrayed. That is not surprising since lawyers and judges go by available facts of the constitution which are interpreted in as many ways as legally tenable. When the government of India included Nagaland under Article 371A along with other clauses in the 16 Point Agreement; it was a positive and magnanimous response to the desires of the Naga people for an alternative to peace and progress. Thus, the entire state comprising of sixteen tribes has been accorded special safeguard under the constitution to preserve and protect the way of life of the people. The issues that have come up were not unexpected but on hindsight, perhaps it could have been better handled so that differences of opinion did not create an unwholesome atmosphere. All stakeholders involved may have probably forgotten that in the end, the only option to resolve such issue was among themselves. Now, that Naga tribe organisations have issued a 3-day deadline expiring on January 26 on the government to defer elections to town and municipal councils, the confrontation will be inevitable since the government is determined to conduct polls. The state government has to take a major part of the blame for having pursued the directive in a bit of a haste after having made up its mind and the consultation held proved to be an academic exercise. For the government and the ruling party, the purpose of the civic polls may be politically expedient in many ways and so also for the few women leaders who felt they cannot be denied their constitutional rights now after having pursued it through court(s).

Neither side can exist in a vacuum and it is hoped that better sense would prevail where humility and magnanimity brings unity of purpose.

DailyDevotion God’s Overpowering Purpose I have appeared to you for this purpose…

—Acts 26:16 The vision Paul had on the road to Damascus was not a passing emotional experience, but a vision that had very clear and emphatic directions for him. And Paul stated, “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision” (Acts 26:19). Our Lord said to Paul, in effect, “Your whole life is to be overpowered or subdued by Me; you are to have no end, no aim, and no purpose but Mine.” And the Lord also says to us, “You did not choose Me, but I chose youand appointed you that you should go…” (John 15:16).

When we are born again, if we are spiritual at all, we have visions of what Jesus wants us to be. It is important that I learn not to be “disobedient to the heavenly vision” — not to doubt that it can be attained. It is not enough to give mental assent to the fact that God has redeemed the world, nor even to know that the Holy Spirit can make all that Jesus did a reality in my life.

I must have the foundation of a personal relationship with Him. Paul was not given a message or a doctrine to proclaim. He was brought into a vivid, personal, overpowering relationship with Jesus Christ. Acts 26:16 is tremendously compelling “…to make you a minister and a witness….” There would be nothing there without a personal relationship. Paul was devoted to a Person, not to a cause. He was absolutely Jesus Christ’s.

He saw nothing else and he lived for nothing else. “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).

Post-mortem

Article 371 A in relation to Article 243-T of part IX A

I

take this humble opportunity to write for public consumption on the subject Article 371 A in relation to Article 243-T of Part IX A with the implementation of 33% Women Reservation. Commendable views and opinions from various walks of life have been expressed. However the reason as to why Government took such a decision to go for the ULBs election was poorly highlighted in the public domain. The Article 371 A is the only Special Provision for the Nagas inserted in the Constitution of India by the Constitution 13th Amendment Act.1962.The Special Provision is sacred, supreme and dear to the Naga people, the provision which does not required to be reproduce here.

Now, the question arises who should implement the Special Provision and powers contend in the Article 371 A of the Indian Constitution in terms of legislation, executive, interpretation, governance, regulating and enforcement.

The answer is founded in the Constitution itself. Only the Constitutionally constituted Authority alone can legislate, execute, interpret, govern, regulate and enforce the provision for the Naga people.

Under the Constitution of India, the following constitutional established authority alone can implement the provision of Article 371 A. Firstly, the Union, that is the Central Government, i.e the President, Council of Ministers, both Houses of Parliament and the Supreme Court with all its machinery under their control, details of which forms Part V of the Constitution of India.

Secondly, the State i.e the State Government of Nagaland i.e the Governor Nagaland, Legislative Assembly, the Council of Ministers and High Court with all its machinery details of which forms Part VI of the Constitution of India.

Thirdly, the Panchayats which forms Part IX of the Constitution of India from Article 243 to 243-0 and by virtue of Article 243-’M’ (2) (a); the State of Nagaland does not apply. However, the Government of Nagaland by enactment of the Nagaland Village Area and Regional Council Act 1972- the Village level i.e, the village councils are the constitutionally established Authority at the local self Government level to implement and enforce the power contend in Article 371 A. Fourthly, the Municipalities which forms Part IX A of the Constitution of India from Article 243-P to Article 243-ZG. The state of Nagaland by the Municipal and Town Council Act 2001 with its amendment 2016 incorporating 33% Women Reservation is a constitutionally established Authority in the urban areas applicable to those towns which fulfills the criteria to be recognized as Municipal Council and Town Council.

Fifthly, the Co-operative Societies which forms Part IX 13 of the Constitution of India from Article 243-ZH to Article 243-ZT. The Nagaland Co-operative societies Act (Amendment 2005). The various Co-operative societies have the power to resolve the disputes as per the provision of Article 371 A of

I

the Constitution 01 India.

Therefore, to implement the power and functions contend in the Special Provision for the Nagas under Article 371 A of the Constitution, the constitutionally empowered established Authority for the time being is only the union of India, the state of Nagaland, the Village Councils of Nagaland, the Municipal and Town Councils of Nagaland, the co-operative Societies of Nagaland.

Now the question as to why the government of Nagaland of the day decided to go ahead with the Municipal and Town Council election on 1st February 2017.

The Municipal and Town council Act 2001 was enacted and passed. The Act was implemented by conducting election in 2004 in the entire state of Nagaland except for Mokokchung and the election were also conducted without 33% Women Reservation since the provision was not inserted in the Act. The Honorable Guwahati High Court in 2005 passed a judgement directing the State Government to implement 33% Women Reservation over a petition filed by a women candidate in Dimapur (East) Town Council. The State Government did not go for appeal and instead took up the act for Amendment in 2006 inserting 33% Women Reservation in the Municipal and Town Council Act 2001.

Election was announced in 2009 with 33% Women Reservation, however the Naga Hoho and the tribal organizations objected and in the process not a single nomination was filed and the Government has postponed the election which was followed by various consultation with the Tribal Hohos, NGOs, Civil societies including various women organization. The state government have to find a way out to constitute the ULBs and nominating members was taken up, however it could not receive acceptance for proper funding from the Ministry and even the pressure to enforce High Court judgement has become a matter of great concerned. The state government in its effort to balance and to bring an amicable resolution with the Tribal Hohos and women group on the one hand and the High Court on the other resulted to passing a Resolution in the Assembly in 2012 whereby making Article 243-T of Part IX A not applicable to the state of Nagaland on the ground that it infringes Article 371 A of the Constitution of India.

Consequence upon the Resolution in the Assembly, the women group challenge the Assembly Resolution in the Supreme Court through a Special Leave petition which was admitted and pending for final disposal. In the mean time, the Government Advocate in the Supreme Court are being honest enough to suggest that the arguments that Women Reservation of Article 243-T of Part IX A inserted by Constitution 73rd & 74th Amendment 1992 infringes Article 371 A does not formed a winnable argument and suggested that the best way out would be negotiate with the women group and bring about amicable resolution to withdraw the case. When

the Advocate fighting for the Government are not confident and feeling uncomfortable to argue, there is nothing much the state government could take the alternative approach to the issue. The Government on its part made several attempts with the women group as well as the Tribal bodies and when all these attempts failed to bring about amicable resolution to the issue, the Government is left with very limited options.

Option 1: To wait for the Supreme Court judgement. This would mean the government could only resort to delay tactics and finally end up losing the case and in the process given away overwhelming power to the Court to interpret the limit of power of Article 371 A of the Constitution of India for wrong reasons and thereby eroding the Special Provision for the Nagas. This situation would also mean giving power to the court to enact and implement the provision in totality.

Option II: To pre-empt Court decision by going ahead with the ULB election. By opting this Option-II the Special Leave petition in the Supreme Court will become infractious and it takes away the power of the Court to make any reference, observation, remarks pertaining to Article 371 A and thereby protecting and preserving the sanctity of Article 371 A. The Government had several round of discussion and opted for the Option- II to pre-empt the Court decision by bringing Amendment in the Municipal and Town Council Act 2001 by incorporating 33% Women Reservation through the Amendment of 2016 when all options to bring about amicable resolution failed.

The Election Commission was accordingly asked to proceed with the conduct of ULB election. The Election Commission accordingly proceeded with the Notification for the conduct of the ULB election. This decision on the part of the Government is aimed at protecting and preserving the sanctity of Article 371 A and thereby avoiding any interpretation of Article 371 A by the Court for wrong reasons.

As far as the Municipal and Town Council Act 2001 is concerned is already an existing Act and implemented. That means only 33% reservation for women is the issue. In this also going by the opinions and views expressed by the various organization, the issue is not very clear. Wether we are opposing women participation or against women presence in the decision making body. By suggesting that women should be given nomination even to the extend of voting right that means the women participation is not opposed. The women reservation is a National policy brought about by 73rd & 74th constitutional Amendment Act 1992 to empower women belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe in Municipalities for a period of 10 years and further extended for a period of 10 years in 2012 and will end by 2022 unless further extended.

Empowering women if the Nagas says is against religious, social customary practices, civil and criminal justice then what about MGNREGS Act which

provides 100 days Right to Employment to the citizens of the country. Right to employment envisage in this MGNREGS Act is not our culture, tradition, customary, social or religious practices of the Nagas as provided by Article 371 A. There are countless of such innovative policies and programme which does not enfringe Article 371 A but only empowers its citizens growth economically, so is the women empowerment, right to girls education, even establishing the Department of Women Development does not in any way infringes Article 371 A rather such an innovative and positive steps will only strengthen Article 371 A. Even the State Assembly is not the customary and social institution of the Nagas but by the Constitution 13rd Amendment Act 1962 the state of Nagaland with Special Provision under Article 371 A was created to promote, protect and preserve the religious or social practices, customary laws and procedures, administration of civil and criminal justice involving Naga Customary law, ownership and transfer of land and its resources, similarly the local self government are established in the villages known as Village Councils and in the urban municipalities by our own State Municipal and Town Council Act 2001 are known as Municipal Councils and Town Councils.

In conclusion, Part VI of the Constitution of India with special reference to state of Nagaland; Part IX of the Constitution of India the Panchayats, for the states of Nagaland, Village Councils; Part IX A of the Constitution of India the Municipalities, for the state of Nagaland the Municipal Councils and Town Councils; Part IX B the Co-operative societies of the Constitution of India, for the state of Nagaland, the Nagaland Co-operative societies Act (Amendment 2005) and since the Nagas fall under the category of Scheduled Tribe Part X of the Constitution of India all these Constitutional Provisions are enabling provisions to strengthen Article 371 A when it comes to the Nagas and the state of Nagaland. Just going against the state government decision is not enough but as stake holders it is required to analyse and examine and the circumstances leading to the state government to make such a decision. The state government have taken several level of discussion with various stake holders and also within the government established set-ups to arrive at this decision approving the Election Commission to conduct election to the ULBs in the state of Nagaland.

The process for conduct of ULB election is in progress and the completion of the process is now beyond the power of the state government to stop, postpone or defer except to allow the completion of the process by the Election Commission, by virtue of Article 243-ZG even the courts are barred from interfering in the electoral matters except by an election petition to the authority constituted as provided by law.

Where is our conscience?

t is so disheartening to see many of the candidates who are adamant to contest the elections, defying the appeal made by the public—their voters. One tribe cannot say we will withdraw only if this or that tribe withdraws. Look at the best example of the Angami tribe-- they have shown exemplary sacrifice by making it a point that NO means NO, for which no one has filed nominations. What about the so called other tribes who only knows how to talk big.

I feel the apex tribal bodies should all agree to pull up the candidates and ensure that everyone backs out from the elections. If not Nagas should disassociate itself with whichever tribe that fails to listen to the UNITED VOICE of Nagas. In case anything should happen during the elections—all those candidates should be held responsible.

Another irony is that some near and dear ones of the leaders of Naga

National Political Groups are contesting the elections. Many may have forgotten the freedom struggle issue or cause and booted them out just for personal gains-- when most of the time it is called the “Indian elections.”

Conscience should speak.

On the other hand if all the apex tribes were so adamant to go against the ULB elections, why are the younger youths being allowed to jump into the vehicles and scream (so called campaign) till their last breathe whole day especially at night disturbing every neighbourhood. The youth organizations of respective areas should rather ensure that such elements are not allowed to be the stumbling block.

My humble suggestion is that if at all the apex tribal bodies are extremely serious to oppose the elections, they should ensure that every candidate and every one roaming around the towns shouting as though they have just come

out from the zoo should be stopped or else it would be a better idea to lock yourselves up (apex bodies) at home and let the elections be held. This is a challenge which should be seriously and tactfully handled.

If the apex bodies fail on such issues, when everyone is united, it would be the most embarrassing and total failure on their part and people would lose respect.

Lastly, I would ask every individual what does Democratically elected mean? Does it mean by having quota in politics and depriving others. Isn’t it supposed to be free and fair and open to all. Reserving a seat this time and making it open the next time, what kind of a democratically elected body are we talking about. To all those male candidates who are contesting, please do not make a hue and cry the next time your seat is reserved.

What ails Dhansiripar Sub-Division Public Organisation

T

o begin with, the Dhansiripar SubDivision Public Organisation (DSDPO) to the best of my knowledge was formed in 1996 with 28 recognised villages and then some unrecognised villages of the sub-division in its jurisdiction. At first when the DSDPO was formed, there had been another formation of DSDPO led by other group of people. Thus for few initial months, there had been two existence apex body of the sub-division. This has made the public confused and the two drawn to loggerheads. Sensing this estrangement and in the interest of the public, the then SDO (C) of Dhansiripar C.K Nihekhu’s intervention was sought and the matter was amicably resolved. Thence to that, the DSDPO founded by Y. Hekiye Swu existed as legally permitted organisation. Ever since its formation, this DSDPO regulated itself with its terms of office bearers and enjoys the public mandate. Therefore besides the present DSDPO president, There had been four former presidents to have led the DSDPO in each of their own respective terms of office bearers. Among those four, two have already paid the debt of nature, late Viqhuzhe Shohe and late Minsit Jidung.

The stance of this multi-tribes apex body is kept in DSDPO in keeping delivery of public services, co-ordination and maintaining peaceful co-existence among the member tribes. To give an instance of its past public service, the NST bus service extension into our Dhansiripar sub-division is none other than the DSDPO demands for the same.

Similar demand for the public needs like road amelioration, bridges construction, office creation and upgradation can be met only through the public apex body in a concerted manner of our own demands. The public needed to give the strengthen hands of the administration through this public apex body.

The general public needed to retrospect, how the DSDPO as an apex body of the sub-division had taken steps in the past for the development like public representation to the several authorities and competent offices indicating our desires of better health care, educational institutions, better road connectivity of the sub-division, Dhansiri bridge construction, irrigation facilities in the sub-division etc. It’s a resolution was regulated in the public domain in active participation of village administration in some notable villages. Somewhere the DSDPO has also taken bold steps to defend the public interest which are still fresh in minds of the public. This Dhansiripar sub-division is in need to see itself for SDO (C) office up gradation to that of ADC Head Quarter like in other place. The fire brigade station, treasury office, SBI Bank Branch etc, are in grave need of the public of the Dhansiripar sub-division. However, the public apex body of the Dhansiripar sub-division is in its deep hibernation. In earlier by gone terms of the office bearers of the DSDPO, it has done some tangible jobs of its own land in the Manglumukh, Dimapur main road touched and completed construction of office building of its own in its official headquarter Dhansiripar. This laudable job of public interest should be taken as an illustrious proof of selfless services done by the doyens of the DSDPO and emulates us to work for the public services. But, however what is ironic of state of affairs is that, the present team of office bearers/ DSDPO official is given itself of its executive/official functioning at a grinding halt in its entirety. What is more irresponsible that this can be had with us all to allow like this without resorting to constitutional remedy to dissolve or select/ elect office bearers afresh? I therefore take this opportunity to appeal sincerely to the concerned elders, respective tribe/community leaders, GBs, Villagers of this Dhansiripar sub-division to see that this DSDPOP is survived for the welfare, development, public services and peaceful co-existence of this mini Nagaland-sub-division in as much this different tribes and community lives in our Dhansiripar sub-division.

Rajnath warns Pak to mend its ways

Rajnath Singh

Abohar (Punjab), Jan 24 (IANS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday warned Pakistan of stern action if it continued trying to destabilise India through smuggling of drugs and terrorism.

Addressing an election rally here in Fazilka district of the poll-bound s t a t e, R a j n a t h S i n g h dubbed the Congress as a “sinking ship” and called upon the people to bring

the BJP-SAD to power again in Punjab.

Targeting Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, Rajnath Singh blamed Pakistan for supplying drugs into India.

“There is this young Congress leader, who celebrated New Year in a foreign country, calling Punjab youth as addicts,” said the Home Minister referring to Gandhi’s earlier remarks that 70 per cent of Punjab youth were addicted to drugs.

“I admit our neighbouring country Pakistan constantly endeavours to smuggle drugs to India to destroy the Indian youth.

But I want to assure you that if you bring the BJPSAD to power in Punjab we will take to task all those who indulge in this.

“From drugs to terrorism, Pakistan has been constantly engaged in its bid to destabilise India.

But I am here to warn Pakistan that get rid of

all these habits or else we have already shown what we can do.

“Our armed forces have already proved that if the need be, we can cross the line,” he said referring to Indian Army’s September 29 cross-border surgical strikes.

Flaying the Congress over corruption, Rajnath Singh said: “It has been more than two and half years of the Narendra M o d i g ove r n m e n t a t the Centre, but even our staunchest critics cannot bring corruption charges against us.”

“The Congress which indulges in corruption is now asking for votes. I can say only one thing to Captain Sahab (Congress’ chief ministerial candidate Amarinder Singh), steering a sinking ship is a very tough ask.

“Congress is a sinking ship not just in Punjab but in entire India,” added Rajnath Singh.

Viral video shows Chennai JNU students refuses to take police setting fire to an auto lie detector test in Najeed case

C HENN A I , J A N 2 4 (AGENCIES): A day after Chennai witnessed peaceful protests on Jallikattu turning violent, a video has emerged that purportedly shows policemen committing arson.

Tweeted several times, the video shows a police constable inserting a bundle of burning newspapers into the back of an auto.

Actor Kamal Haasan, who has been a vocal supporter of Jallikattu, tweeted the video seeking an explanation. The authenticity of the video, that also did the rounds on WhatsApp, could not be verified.

According to a report in News18, the video was allegedly telecast on News18 Tamil after it was sent in by a viewer. The report also says that the area where the video is taken seemed to be Mylapore, that is close Marina Beach where the initial protests were taking place.

However, the Chennai police has denied reports of arson against its officers.

When the video was brought to the notice of police officers, one K Shankar told NDTV that action

would be taken if found guilty. Meanwhile Mylapore deputy commissioner told News18, “We are looking into the veracity of the video. We are shocked... We will take action against the policeman if it’s true.”

However later, during a press conference the police alleged that the video had been morphed.

Police commissioner S George, according to The News Minute, said that, “We must look into the hidden motive behind this video. The video will be probed by the multimedia department.”

George, had in a news conference also said that the police did not use force on protesters. Thousands of police personnel were deployed across Chennai on Monday, a majority invading the beach and dragging away young men who had been camping there demanding legalization of Jallikattu. Many of the protesters, after being ousted from the beach, took over neighbouring streets and hurled bricks and stones at police.

Missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed sympathizers demanding for justice.

New Delhi, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): After nine Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students who had been served notices to join the probe into the disappearance of Najeeb Ahmad, failed to show up for the lie detector test, the Delhi High Court told them to not feel insecure and come forward to take the test.

According to the Indian Express, a division Bench of Justice G S Sistani and Justice Vinod Goel said, “If some person is given notice, he should come forward and he can deny or accept that allegation. No one should feel insecure. One should be bold enough to appear and

go through the tests if there is nothing to hide.” This was after Advocate Rahul Mehra, appearing for the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police, told the division bench, “Since the students did not come forward for interrogation it raises doubts in the mind about their involvement.”

During the hearing, according to an IANS report, one of the nine students approached the court and alleged biased investigation against them and sought a fair probe into the case.

The Indian Express reported that lawyer Sidharth Luthra, appearing for JNU student Sunil Singh, told the

court that the students could not be forced to take lie detector tests without consent.

However, Advocate Mehra told the court that the Crime Branch had been probing the matter responsibly. “Had we been biased we would have put them behind the bars,” he said.

“We are a responsible force, don’t force us to do something we don’t want to do,” Mehra added. “They should join the investigation. They should come forward if they have nothing to hide and come out clean.

For more than three and a half months we are handling it responsibly. If you (nine students) are so honest then come and join investigation.

Many notices have been issued to them.”

Najeeb Ahmad, 27, a first year M.Sc. student, went missing from his hostel on JNU campus on the night of 14-15 October last year, allegedly after a row with fellow students who were members of the RSS student wing, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).

The next hearing on this matter is on 13 February.

Tenphel said the situation inside Tibet under the Chinese government’s intensive political repression continued to remain grim and alarming despite China’s lofty claims of having liberated and developed Tibet for the past 66 years.

“Since 2009 over 145 Tibetans in Tibet have resorted to self-immolation in protest against China’s rule in Tibet, calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet,” he added.

The scheme would be implemented by the National Housing Bank -- a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. The central government would provide “net present value of the interest subsidy of 3 per cent to the National Housing Bank upfront which will, in turn, pass it to the primary lending institutions (scheduled commercial banks, NBFCs).

The decision to improve “housing stock and create employment opportunities in rural housing sector” was taken at a cabinet meeting here chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an official statement said.

However, the scheme will not be extended to those who have already availed benefits under a similar programme, the Pradhan Mantri Aawas Yojana-Grameen (PMAY-G).

He said they should also reduce the import duty on gold from the current 10 per cent to at least 5 per cent.

“The high impor t duty on gold bullion at 10 per cent has been adversely affecting the industry.

This has built a parallel economy, leading to wide scale gold smuggling. It is also affecting domestic retail and manufacturing industry adversely. Bringing down duty to at least 5 per cent will eliminate the grey market,” he added.

Parl must vote on Brexit: UK Apex Court

Pakistan test-fires ballistic missile ISLAMABAD, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): Pakistan on Tuesday “successfully” testfired indigenously-developed surface-to-surface nuclear capable missile, Ababeel, with a range of 2,200 km, an official said. “Pakistan successfully conducted first flight test of SSM Ababeel, Range 2,200 kilometres,” Major General Asif Ghafoor, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said. The missile is capable of delivering multiple warheads, using Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology. “The test flight was aimed at validating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system,” Maj Gen Ghafoor said in a statement.

Lead claimant in the Article 50 case, businesswoman Gina Miller, center, delivers a statement outside the Supreme Court in London on Tuesday.

ing May did not need the approval of the UK’s devolved assemblies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland before triggering Brexit.

May has said she intends to invoke Article 50 before the end of March but the ruling means she must now first bring forward urgent legislation before she can go ahead.

In its ruling the court said such a bill, which is likely to be put to parliament either later this week or next week, could be a “very brief statute”.

That opens up the Brexit process to scrutiny from lawmakers, the majority of whom had wanted to stay in the EU. However, the main opposition La-

bour Party said it would not block Brexit although it would try to amend the legislation.

“Labour will seek to build in the principles of full, tariff-free access to the single market and maintenance of workers’ rights and social and environmental protections,” said party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Media reports have suggested that up to 80 Labour lawmakers (MPs) in the 650-member House of Commons lower chamber would ignore Corbyn and vote against triggering Article 50, while the small Liberal Democrat Party said it would oppose Brexit unless there was a second referendum on the final deal.

China new ‘Two Child’ policy increases births by 7.9% BEIJING, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): In late 2015, China announced an end to its infamous 35-year-old “One Child” policy, which was aimed at curbing the exploding population of the nation of more than 1.3 billion people. Now, the initial data on the experiment to allow married couples to have two children has come in, and the Chinese government is touting it as a success.

According to the Communist Party’s National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC,) there were 17.86 million births in China last year, an increase of 7.9 percent from the previous year. “It demonstrates that the universal second-child policy came in time and worked effectively,” said Yang Wenzhuang, a division director of the NHFPC in a press release. Like many countries with a low birth rate, China was concerned about how to care for its aging population, as there were a dearth of young worker to help support them, as well as a gross gender imbalance, because so many female babies were abandoned or aborted in the patriarchal society. Experts warned the “Two Child” policy was “too little, too late” to reverse the trend.

The NHFPC claims, however, that their data proves otherwise.

In their press release,

Syria peace talks close to final declaration ASTANA, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): The UN envoy for Syria said today that a final declaration was close to being achieved at indirect talks between Syrian rebels and their war-torn country’s regime in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana.

T h e t a l k s, w h i c h yielded no apparent breakthrough yesterday, could have been the first face-toface negotiations between the regime and the armed opposition since Syria’s conflict erupted in 2011, but the rebels backed out.

“We are not far from a final declaration,” UN envoy Staffan de Mistura said.

“There are very intense discussions because this is not about a paper, this is about a cessation of hos-

tilities which means Syrian lives.”

Rebel spokesman Yehya al-Aridi said the rebels would not sign a final declaration coming out of the talks, saying it would be issued by their sponsors, rebel backer Turkey, regime ally Russia and possibly Iran.

He added the final declaration was a “general statement” that is “not meant to be signed by the parties”.

The rebels rejected face-to-face talks because of the regime’s continued bombardment and attacks on a flashpoint outside the capital Damascus.

The two sides sat at the

same table for the opening statements, but spent the rest of yesterday negotiating via mediators.

The rebels have insisted the talks focus on bolstering a frail truce brokered by Turkey and Russia last month, while the regime has called for a political solution to the nearly six-year conflict and for rebels to lay down their arms in exchange for an amnesty deal. Rebel spokesman Osama Abu Zeid said ceasefire violations and threats of forced displacements were hindering the negotiations, and that the rebels would focus on the truce in today’s talks.

the NHFPC said that “by 2050, the policy is expected to bring about an extra 30 million working-age people and reduce the nation’s aging rate by 2 percent, commission projections show.”

However, the NHFPC said the Communist Party’s leaders need to come up with better policies to support couples willing to have more than one child, “particularly in terms of maternity education and health services.”

In a study published in the Lancet journal, professors Yi Zeng and Therese Hesketh warned that celebrating the policy change’s success should not begin yet.

Mike Pompeo sworn in as CIA director WASHINGTON, JAN 24 (AGENCIES): Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo was sworn in Monday night as the new CIA director. He was sworn in by Vice President Mike Pence. The Senate voted on Monday night to confirm Pompeo, giving President Donald Trump his third official Cabinet member. He was approved by a large margin of votes, 66 to 32.

The congressman’s district included Chautauqua County in south central Kansas. Pompeo will head the CIA amid tensions between the intelligence community and President Donald Trump, who frequently

criticized U.S. intelligence agencies in the wake of their findings about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump visited CIA headquarters for a speech on Saturday, just one day after being sworn in, but CBS News’ Jeff Pegues reported that the visit did little to

improve the relationship -and in fact, may have made things worse. Originally scheduled for a vote on Friday, along with Defense Secretary James Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, a group of liberal Senate Democrats delayed Pompeo’s confirmation vote due to concerns over his position on surveillance issues. Pompeo’s hearing in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee was on January 12. Before the vote was held, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) spoke at length about what he and others considered Pompeo’s inconsistent statements on a series of issues.

LO N D O N, JA N 2 4 (AGENCIES): British Prime Minister Theresa May must give parliament a vote before she can formally start Britain’s exit from the European Union, the UK Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday, giving lawmakers who oppose her Brexit plans a shot at amending them.

By a majority of eight to three, the UK’s highest judicial body decided May could not use executive powers known as “royal prerogative” to invoke Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty and so begin two years of divorce talks.

“The referendum is of great political significance, but the Act of Parliament which established it did not say what should happen as a result,” said David Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court.

“So any change in the law to give effect to the referendum must be made in the only way permitted by the UK constitution, namely by an Act of Parliament.”

However, the judges did remove one major potential obstacle for the British government, say-

mar Singh, who was one of Amitabh Bachchan’s closest friends, has dropped a bomb, claiming that the husbandwife duo of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan aren’t living together anymore.

While tabloids have always hinted at a fractured relationship between the couple, there were no reports that said the two acting legends live separately.

ABP Majha quoted Singh as saying, “People blame me for every possible rift in the country.

When the Ambanis split, they projected me as the person who created the Mahabharat between them.

It wasn’t me.

People have said the same about me and the Bachchans. But even before I met Amitabh Bachchan, he and Jaya Bachchan were living separately. One of them was living in Pratiksha and the other lives in his other bungalow Janak. There were

also speculations about a problem between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jaya.

I am not responsible for that.”

Both Pratiksha and Janak are in Juhu but at a considerable distance from each other and aren’t interconnected. Janak is usually used as their family’s office.

A family friend who HufPost India spoke to said that Bachchan has a deep attachment with Pratiksha and likes to stay there because his parents lived there with him for a long time.

Jaya, on the other hand, prefers to live in Janak.

Jackie Chan: I do get scared of doing action in films

K

nown across the globe for his action films, superstar Jackie Chan says that he does gets scared to perform stunts on the screen and insists that he is no superhero.

“I am motivated to do action because of you (audience). I do get scared to do action. When I do a stunt I think will this be my last shot. When I look around so many fans, the love and warmth, I want to do different kind of films. That’s my goal,” Jackie said.

“I don’t know how many years I can continue to do making films and doing action but as long as I can I will do it,” the 62-year-old actor said.

“He (Sonu) is tough.

We learn martial arts first and then do films. He doesn’t look that strong

but he is. He learnt all of it in one week, he knew the timing and rhythm,” he adds. Jackie thinks beside Sonu, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan are good at action.

When asked who is the best action star in Bollywood, he said, “It is difficult to say. Aamir Khan, Salman Khan.”

He also said he wants to do a Bollywood film that has elements of romance and dance.

The 62-year-old actor, who is in India to promote his upcoming film ‘Kung Fu Yoga’, said he is tired of doing just action and would like to romance on-screen.

“I want to do it (Hindi film). Ask some Bollywood director to hire me.

No more action for me, I want to do dance and do a love story. I tried very hard to do it (Bollywood film) but the script did not work out. But after 11 years I am here. It’s one of my dream I want to do it (Bollywood film),” Jackie told reporters at a promotional event of his upcoming film ‘Kung Fu Yoga’.

The legendary actor arrived in the city this morning for the India promotions of his film that also stars Bollywood actors Sonu Sood, Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur.

“I would want to come again to India. I come here for film festivals, charity and for films.

I know you all love me and even I love you all,” he said.

Always in our hearts, Wife, son, daughters and family members

It’s been many years past but seems like yesterday. You have left your legacy as First Pastor and First Couple to had a Holy Matrimony Wedding in the Kiyekhü Village Baptist Church. The seed you sowed in the late 1940s fruitfully harvested the Platinum Jubilee on 7th & 8th January 2017.

Philippians 1:23 says, “For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better.”

Dearest Father we know for sure that at that very moment when you died you were more alive than when you lived here on this suffering world. Like a cloud you have left us behind to be with Christ which was far better in the heavenly eternal home.

Dearest Father one day we shall meet at Jesus feet.

Fabulous Federer marches ahead Haiziurangbe memorial volleyball tourney underway Staff Reporter

Roger Federer celebrates after winning the match.

Melbourne, Jan 24 (Agencies): Four-time champion Roger Federer coasted into the Australian Open semi-finals with a straight-set defeat of unseeded Mischa Zverev in 92 minutes.

Melbourne for a 13th time with a 6-1 7-5 6-2 win over Zverev, who upset world number one Andy Murray on Sunday.

Federer, seeded 17th as he seeks an 18th Grand Slam title, faces compatriot Stan Wawrinka in the last four.

Fourth seed Wawrinka beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 6-2. Wawrinka won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in 2014. The 31-year-old has since added victories at the French Open in 2015 and the US Open last September, and is rated by many as the favourite in Melbourne following surprise defeats for Murray and Novak Djokovic.

Federer, playing his first competitive event since Wimbledon six months ago following a knee injury, brushed aside Zverev with the minimum of fuss.

He blitzed through the first set in just 19 minutes, and soon levelled in the second when he was broken by the world number 50.

Wawrinka edged a tight opening set against Tsonga, with the pair exchanging words after the tie-break.

It appeared as though Tsonga was fighting back when he finally broke serve to lead 4-3 in the second set, but Wawrinka snuffed out the danger with two successive breaks for a twoset lead. An early break was enough to give Wawrinka the final set and he closed out a straightforward win to reach an eighth Grand Slam semi-final.
