Mamata calls for united opposition to fight Modi RN Ravi’s intervention

7.8 magnitude earthquake hits Manipur govt. seeks New Zealand; triggers Tsunami

Manipur economic blockade enters 13th day

KO L K ATA , N OV 1 3 (AGENCIES): A day after she expressed willingness to work with arch rival CPI (M) on the Centre’s demonetisation of high-value currency notes, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday called her arch rival, the left party’s general secretary, Sitaram Yechury, urging him to wage a “united fight” against the BJP and its “anti-people policies”.

A senior CPI (M) leader, however, gave her a rebuff, describing the call as a “desperate call” to save her own party leaders who were allegedly involved in corruption.

Earlier, Banerjee said she was ready to work with the CPI (M) and other opposition parties such as the SP, BSP, and Congress, despite ideological differences, to “save the country” from the NDA government.

“Yes, today Mamata Banerjee called Sitaram Yechury and told him that all the opposition parties should come together to put up a united fight against the BJP. Yechury replied that since he was travelling, he

could only comment on the matter after discussing it in the party,” CPI (M) politburo member Mohammed Salim told reporters. He described Banerjee’s phone call as a “desperate call” to save her own party leaders who were involved in “corruption”.

“This is a desperate call and an attempt to save her own party leaders who are allegedly involved in the Saradha and Narada scams.

What is the credibility of the Trinamool Congress (TMC)?

How can they talk about fighting against black money when her (Mamata’s) own party leaders are involved in the Saradha scam and have been arrested,” Salim said.

“When her own party leaders have been involved in Narada, this is nothing but a political gimmick.

Those running their party in West Bengal through corruption should not talk much about black money,” he added. Salim alleged that a “political match-fixing” was going on between the TMC and the BJP and that was why the CBI probe into the Saradha scam had

‘More projects’ to fight graft: PM

VCs support to candidates unlawful, says LKMCECC

PANAJI, NOV 13 (AGENCIES): After demonetising high value notes to curb black money, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said he has “more projects” in mind to rid the country of corruption and was ready to face the consequences as forces are “up against me” with their 70 years of loot being in trouble.

“This is not an end. I have more projects in mind to make India corruptionfree. .... Cooperate with me and help me for 50 days and I will give you the India you desired,” Modi said at a function in Goa. “We will take action against ‘benami’ property; This is major step to eradicate corruption and black money ... If any money that was looted in India and has left Indian shores, it is our duty to find out about it,” he said. “I know that (some) forces are up against me, they may not let me live, they may ruin me because their loot of 70 years is in trouble, but I am prepared,” Modi said in a speech which saw him getting emotional a few times.

He said the people voted against corruption in 2014. “I am doing what I was asked to do by the people of this country and it had become clear from the very first meeting of my Cabinet when I formed the SIT (on black money)...”

This is it!

“This US TV channel cannot accept that has Trump won. For me, that itself is news.”

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 3 (NPN): Langpangkong Students’ Conference Clean Election Campaign Committee (LKMCECC) has joined ACAUT in condemning the “unlawful” public declaration of the five village councils- Kelingmen, Yaongyimti (old), Yaongyimti (New), Phangsang and Chakpa- to support certain candidates in the forthcoming 2018 assembly polls.

LKMCECC in a press note said, the public declaration has directly challenged “adult suffrage”- a right to vote given to every citizen by the constitution of India.

In this regard, LKMCECC said it has decided to take up the matter with the Election Commission of India (ECI) with certain practical proposals for necessary action to ensure free and fair election.

The committee alleged that the VCs have “simply and thoughtlessly” breached

“gone slow” over the last one-and-a-half years. “They should first come clean on the Saradha scam and then talk about black money,” the CPI (M) leader said.

Opposition to raise issue in parliament: Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said Congress MPs would raise the demonetization issue under rules 56 and 193 during the Winter Session beginning November 16.

Rule 56 is related to motion for an adjournment of business of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance, which may be made with the consent of the Speaker; whereas rule 193 lays down how a member will submit in writing his request for a discussion on a matter or urgent public importance. Deputy leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad has already given notice for the suspension of business under rule 267 of the Rajya Sabha for a discussion on the same issue.

the “Pledge signed in the name of God” on September 3 at Chuchuyimlang village, where all 33 villages and town units under Langpangkong range in Mokokchung district took the pledge for clean election in their respective villages and town units.

Taking the issue as an eye-opener and reminder, it urged the range people to be more determined and committed towards cleansing the mess of election from Langpangkong range in particular.

The committee also said the public declaration was unfortunate and embarrassment, when the people of Langpangkong range under the banner of LKMCECC were making all efforts to cleanse the corrupt and unlawful system of electioneering from the range. It therefore, appealed the people of Langpangkong range to uphold the September 3 pledge in letter and spirit.

IMPHAL, NOV 13: With no options left, the Manipur government was compelled to reach out to Centre’s Interlocutor for Naga talks, R.N. Ravi seeking his intervention to put an end to the economic blockade, which entered its 13th day Sunday, spearheaded by the United Naga Council (UNC).

State transport minister Dr Kh Ratan Sunday said the government was in constant touch with the Interlocutor, R.N. Ravi to convince the agitating UNC to call off their agitation.

“State government held talks with RN Ravi to intervene”, Ratan said on the sidelines of a function to re-launch the Inter-state Bus Terminus at Dingku road Imphal. As the state has been crippled by the blockade, Ratan said the state government was doing its best to solve the problem, particularly with regard to supply of essential commodities and fuel.

UNC launched the blockade on November 1 in protest against Manipur government’s proposed move to

Three drowned in separate incidents Staff Reporter D I M A P U R , N OV 1 3 (NPN): Three boys, all in the age group of 13-17 years, drowned in separate incidents at Dimapur, according to police and family members. On Sunday morning, a 13-year old boy drowned in Dhansiri river, Purana Bazar while playing with his friend. Relatives said, efforts were on to retrieve the body with the help of Assam Rifles and local divers.

Family has also requested to contact 9856237321 in case anyone finds the body along the riverside.

In another incident, two students, both class 11 of Don Bosco Hr. Secondary School, Dimapur identified as Pohwang Konyak (16) and Konpha Konyak (17) drowned while on a picnic with friends at T.L. Angami Park on November 12. The bodies were retrieved by youths of New Chumukedima village, police said.

Uniform Civil Code: Law Commission open to suggestions from tribals NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (AGENCIES): With a section of the tribal population up in arms against the government’s move seeking opinion of the Law Commission on possibility of having the Uniform Civil Code, the panel said it was “open” to objections and suggestions from the community.

“The tribal community should make representation before the Commission.

We would also like to know their stand,” Law Commission chairman B.S. Chauhan told PTI. He said the Commission considers tribals as a stakeholder in the entire exercise in which representations are coming from various communities.

“The tribals can also participate and debate in

the entire exercise,” the former apex court judge said.

The opposition from a section of the tribal community assumed importance as a group has also moved the Supreme Court contending that the government was making an attempt to impose the UCC which will be against their ethos, customs and religious practices. The Rashtriya Adivasi Ekta Parishad, a group that claims to work for protecting Adivasi interests, has filed a petition in the apex court seeking protection of their customs and religious practices, including their right to practice polygamy and polyandry.

Further, it has contended that any attempt to impose the Uniform Civil Code would have adversely impact on their distinct cus-

toms, culture and heritage.

The petition in the apex court claimed the Adivasis (tribals) had their own personal laws and do not come in the category of Hindus as they worshipped nature instead of idols and performed burial of the dead.

The marriage ceremonies of tribals are also different from that of Hindus, it submitted.

“In case of Uniform Civil Code, the Adivasis’ right to perform marriage, worship, last rites and other ceremonies would be abrogated,” the NGO said.

The petition is likely to come for hearing when the apex court will take up a batch of matters relating to the validity of triple talaq and polygamy in the Muslim community.

declare Sadar hills and Jiribam as full-fledged district.

The blockade coupled with Centre’s demonetisation process has adversely affected the people, with the situation boiling down to a famine like situation. What was more shocking is that the most of the fuel outlets, taking the advantage of the shortage, have begun to sell petrol at Rs. 300 per litre.

On the other hand, All Manipur United Clubs’ Organisation (AMUCO) came out against the UNC sponsored blockade saying that an agitation which adversely affects over 40 communities in pursuit of a demand from the government was nothing less than a “crime against humanity”. In a statement, AMUCO said the blockade and the counter blockade were both imposed along communal line and these measures were poisonous.

Urging UNC to lift the blockade, taking into consideration the plight of the common people, AMUCO said it also does not endorse the counter-blockade which has been imposed by some organisations. (More on p-4)

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 3 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang on Sunday greeted the Sumi community on the occasion of Ahuna festival.

WELLINGTON, NOV 13 (AGENCIES): An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, generating a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in lowlying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground.

The quake struck 57 miles north-northeast of the city just after midnight local time on Monday and shook much of the country. Two deaths have been confirmed - one in Kaikoura and one in Mt Lyford - following the earthquake, the New Zealand Herald reports.

Earlier, officials said they were searching for one person who was missing after a home for the elderly collapsed in Kaikoura, the locality which was hit hard by the disaster. There are

fears the toll could go even higher as officials assess the aftermath in daylight.

People who live along the east coast were told to retreat to higher ground as the tsunami warning was issued, but it was later downgraded for most of the country.

Waves as high as 10ft are still possible between Marlborough and Banks Peninsula. However, the national civil defence organisation, which is in charge of New Zealand’s emergency management, earlier said that a tsunami was possible.

“The first wave activity may not be the most significant,” it said in a bulletin, adding tsunami activity would continue for several hours. The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks and there were reports of damaged buildings in the small rural township of Cheviot near the epicentre.

Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North

Canterbury region of the South Island.

“That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand.

Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents.

“Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” RNZ said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. The ambulance service said it did not receive any reports of quake-related injuries.

In a brief message the Prime Minister John Key tweeted, “I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight.”

New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the socalled “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.

Petrol sold for Rs 300 a litre as UNC eco blockade continues

IMPHAL, NOV 13 (AGENCIES): A litre of petrol on Sunday was selling for Rs 300 in Manipur due to the indefinite economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council (UNC) against the creation two new districts.

Since the blockade, all petrol vends across Manipur has gone bone dry.

Meanwhile, a move was being made to escort the Manipur-bound loaded trucks and oil tankers stranded at different places in Assam.

When the Manipur government chose to ignore the 48-hour United Naga Council sponsored general strike and the subsequent blockade, the Naga organisations decided to intensify the agitations.

They turned a deaf ear to the orchestrated appeals from diverse sections to withdraw the blockade.

Chief secretary Oinam Nabakishore said, “Some NGOs should not resort to blockade. We appeal to them to call off the blockade.” When there was no response, Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said, “Armed policemen are detailed to escort the stranded trucks and oil tankers.”

Most of them have been parked along the highway since November 1. One truck loaded with cement was torched on the highway on Saturday night.

Women activists have banned transportation of various items from Imphal to Naga dominated areas of the state. Petrol diesel, kerosene and LPG cylinders are no longer available in Manipur.

Prices of essential commodities have soared beyond the reach of the people.

Many consumer items have vanished from the market. People from Jiribam and Sadar Hills areas are exerting pressure on the government to create the new districts. This has led to the agitation.

Manipur BJP attacks Ibobi government

Manipur BJP Sunday launched fresh attack on Ibobi led Congress government for failing to stop the UNC sponsored economic blockade. “The ongoing economic blockade is yet another glaring example of Congress Government’s failure to govern the state,” state BJP president K Bhabananda Singh said in an interview with AIR Imphal on Sunday.

There seem to be no mechanism to deal with the present situation, the president continued. He blamed Ibobi government for the frequent bandhs and blockade in the state saying that failure on the part of the state government to resolve the problems was behind such forms of agitation.

Asserting that present situation demands critical examination from the state government, he said that BJP fears that the blockade will have a devastating impact on the life of the people if it continues.

The president alleged

that Ibobi government was deaf to the demands of the people unless drastic measures like economic blockades are taken up. Bhabananda also appealed the United Naga Council (UNC) and Naga frontal organisation to lift the economic blockade and look for other methods to express their demands.

Economic blockade or bandh or any other forms of similar stir and the prevailing fuel scarcity do not give any impact to the people who sit in the corridors of power.

It only made the common people suffer, Bhabananda said.

He also drew the attention of the state government to work out an agreement with the UNC and bring normalcy to the state. He alleged that people in the government lacked of habits of finding a lasting solution to a problem well in time, he alleged.

If come to power after the 2017 elections, BJP will work with its best efforts to end the bandh and blockade culture, he assured.

Demonetisation: Special dispensation for tea gardens

Guwahati, Nov 13 (IANS): In view of apprehensions that the Centre’s demonetisation move would affect wage disbursal to tea garden labour in Assam, the central government has made special arrangements for the tea gardens of the state to ensure timely payment of wages to labourers, state Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Sunday.

The tea garden managements concerned would give a cheque of the amount required to disburse the weekly salary of the labourers to the Deputy Commissioners of the districts who would in turn withdraw the money from the bank and hand it over to the tea garden management, Sarma told media persons in Assam’s capital Dispur.

The move is expected to bring relief to over 800 small and big tea gardens in Assam which require around Rs 50 crore per week to pay wages to over ten lakh labourers.

The demonetisation move, it is feared, will hit the tea gardens where cash is the only mode of payment.

A number of tea garden managements and associations had approached the

state government seeking assistance to handle the issue and fearing law and order situation in the gardens on pay day which varies from Friday to Sunday.

“Our government has taken up the matter with the Prime Minister’s Office, the central government and the Reserve Bank of India immediately. We are thankful that the government has responded so fast and arranged special dispensation for the tea gardens in the state,” Sarma said.

“From now on, the Deputy Commissioners would receive the cheque required to pay wages to the labourers from the concerned tea gardens and withdraw the money from the bank and hand it over to the garden management for disbursement of their weekly wages,” he said.

He added that, in the process, the government would also have a correct data about the wages paid to the tea garden workers by the management.

The Assam government had several times appealed to the tea garden managements to increase the wages to the workers, but some gardens are yet to implement it.

Wine sales plummet in Aizawl New Doordarshan channel planned for NE by next month A I Z WA L , N ov 1 3 (Agencies): From vegetable-sellers to shopkeepers, everybody in Aizawl is facing a tough time due to the acute shortage of cash after Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes were declared illegal

by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday evening.

Thanliana, a shopkeeper, said although he agreed to accept Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, he did not have sufficient change for large transactions. Even banks faced the same problem on Saturday.

Branches of the State Bank of India (SBI) are suffering because of a serious cash

crunch. Though the Centre had announced that accountholders could withdraw a maximum of Rs 10,000 a day through cheques, SBI reduced the amount to Rs 2,000. However, HDFC allowed its customers to withdraw Rs 10,000 a day. Most ATMs remained closed even on Saturday. Wine shops in Aizawl also bore the brunt of the cash crisis with sales falling sharply. The shop owners said shortage of smaller denominations had hit their business hard as customers brought only Rs 500 or Rs 1,000 notes and didn’t have sufficient change.

NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (PTI): Aiming to reach out to more viewers in the northeast, public broadcaster Prasar Bharati is planning to launch by Christmas a new Doordarshan channel ‘DD Arunprabha’ in the region. Officials told PTI that in a recent meeting, the Prasar Bharati board approved a proposal to launch the channel, which will focus primarily on the viewers of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim but will have content for other states of the region

as well. It is expected that the channel will come up

by December 25.

“The Board has cleared the decision. We expect to launch by December 25,” Prasar Bharati Chairperson A Surya Prakash said when contacted.

“We are very happy with this development as we want to pay greater attention to the northeast,” he added.

Doordarshan already runs a channel for the northeast region.

Sources said that a lot of programming content

for ‘DD Arunprabha’ is already being planned by Doordarshan including a special show that focuses on the region’s diverse and delectable cuisine.

Another show is based on the monasteries in the region, while there will also be music and singing based reality shows including one that focuses on bands.

In addition there will be programmes on educational awareness, career counselling. There will be programmes on government’s programmes like startup India and Skill In-

Chaos as people struggle to exchange currency Imphal’s ISBT becomes operational ITANAGAR, Nov 13 inations in the region with think it is a good move to Correspondent (Agencies): Since the Centre demonetised Rs 500 and 1000 banknotes, stories and images of people lining up outside ATMs and banks to exchange currency notes have been emerging from across the country. Here in the Northeast too similar scenes have been playing out.

In the Ar unachal Pradesh capital, Itanagar, long queues were seen outside of ATMs and cash deposit machines as people tried to either withdraw money and/or deposit notes of Rs 500 and 1000.

In Assam, Nagaland and Tripura too similar incidents were reported. And just like in other parts of the country there is a severe shortage of smaller denom-

banks mostly handing out the new purple-hued notes of Rs 2000.

Shopkeepers of general stores to butchers are complaining that the shortage of lower denomination of money is causing problems as they are asking patrons to shop in multiples of 500.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the announcement on Tuesday night, the news was met with confusion and then chaos.

T h r e e d ay s l a t e r, not much seems to have changed and there is in fact, some amount of palpable anger over waiting in queue for their money. Inconveniences aside, a number of people here in Itanagar

curb out black money as was the stated goal behind the move. Whether or not the decision actually helps bring to book those hoarding large stacks of black money really works is yet to be seen and there is some ambiguity as to what implications the move will have in the Northeast.

Arunachal Pradesh, like the other states of the region, has a largely tribal population which is exempt from paying income tax as long as the person is a member of a listed Scheduled Tribe and works in a tribal-majority area. As per the new guidelines, cash deposits of over Rs 2.5 lakh would attract tax besides a 200 percent penalty in case of income mismatch.

IMPHAL, Nov 13: Imphal’s Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT), which was inaugurated five years ago by then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, became operational on Sunday. To mark the occasion, state education and transport minister Kh Ratan flaggedoff an inter-state passenger bus.

The ISBT in Imphal’s Khuman was among some important projects implemented by the Ibobi led Cong ress gover nment which was inaugurated ahead of the January 28, 2012 general elections to the Manipur Legislative Assembly. The then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh inaugurated the ISBT and some other

projects like the City Convention Centre at Palace Compound in the presence of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on December 3, 2011.

The complex remained abandon for a long time without completing various components including the main entrance gates. However, with the completion of the components, minister Kh Ratan today flagged off a passenger bus from the complex marking the functioning of the ISBT. “The ISBT could not be made functional due to various reason”, the transport minister said after flagging off the bus. However, the minister failed to cite the reason behind leaving the complex abandoned for a long time.

Shillong set to host India’s first Cherry Blossom festival on Nov 14

Correspondent

Shillong, Nov 13: Indians may no longer need to visit Japan anymore to witness the Cherry Blossom festival but they can come to Shillong, the state capital of Meghalaya to witness the India’s first Cherry Blossom festival.

The organisers also urged the local people as well as the tourists from all across the world to visit Shillong including Ward’s Lake to have a glimpse of this nature’s beauty.

The four days festival will begin from November 14. It is also the World’s First Autumn Cherry Blossom Festival and will provide outstanding opportunities not only to show the unique beauty of pink and white cherry blossoms but also showcase Meghalaya’s traditional arts, culture and cuisine.

The festival is being organised by the Meghalaya government in association with, Institute of Bio Resources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), a Na-

tional Institute of Department of Biotechnology.

“This festival will not only bring socio-economic development of the region but will also promote Peace, Prosperity and Sustainable Development, which is one of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals,” Director of IBSD, Prof Dinabandhu Sahoo, said.

He further said that the festival would set the stage for the Year 2017, which has been declared as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, by the UN. “If we miss this opportunity, maybe we have to wait for one more year till next November,” Sahoo said while informed that lakhs of tourists visit Japan every year for this festival.

“The Cherry Blossom, which is in full bloom in Shillong since the last one week, will only last for a maximum of a week to 10 days, which is giving a pinkish and whitish look to the city,” he said.

Sahoo, who teaches

Botany in University of Delhi, said, “To enjoy the Cherry Blossom festival, popularly known as Sakura/Hanami festival, people usually spend thousands of dollars and visit different parts of Japan during the month of March every year.”

“If you enter the city of Shillong from Umiam (and also in Mawphlang and Ward’s Lake) you will see hundreds of Cherry Blossom trees have been planted and lined up inside beautiful bamboo tree guards for protection,” he said. He also informed that the impact of such initiative was also felt in Japan as a team of six people comprising the President and other office bearers of the Japanese Cherry Blossom Association visited India in September 2015 to spearhead the initiative.

“Now, the Japanese Cherry Blossom Association in association with IBSD is planning to spearhead this movement in different parts of India,” Sahoo said.

Amid unending queues, PM Modi seeks 50 days to overcome crisis New Delhi/Panaji, Nov 13 (IANS): As hundreds of thousands thronged banks and ATMs across the country for a fourth day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday sought 50 days to tide over the nationwide cash crisis.

Addressing a public rally in Goa, Modi made an impassioned plea to citizens to give him until December 30 to weed out the ill-gotten wealth in India.

“I know what kind of powers I have taken on. I know the kind of people who will be against me now. I am looting what they had accumulated over 70 years,” Modi said at an indoor stadium in Bambolim village near Panaji.

“They will not leave me alive. They will destroy me. Let them do what they want. (For) 50 days, help me. The country should just help me for 50 days.

“This is not the end.

I am openly saying, this is not a full stop... There are

Nagaland Post, Dimapur monday, november 14, 2016

Narendra Modi other projects in my mind to stop dishonesty and corruption.” At one time, Modi, who returned from Japan on Saturday, halted for a few seconds to check his emotions while saying he had sacrificed his home and family for the sake of the country.

But with no end to the serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs by hundreds of thousands, opposition leaders hit out at Modi and demanded the currency spike be immediately withdrawn.

Men and women have been queuing outside banks to deposit or exchange their

now worthless currency and withdraw cash from their accounts. With the government putting caps on both, there has been no thinning of the crowds since banks reopened on Thursday after a day’s closure. The RBI urged people not to withdraw money and hoard.

“The Reserve Bank assures the public that enough cash in small denominations is available at the Reserve Bank and other banks,” RBI said. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal requested Modi to roll back the scheme and first jail those with illegal Swiss bank accounts.

The Aam Aadmi Party leader warned that if the massive cash crunch continued, it could lead to law and order problems that could spiral out of control.

He took on Modi for demanding 50 more days to streamline the system.

“Does this mean that the markets will remain closed for the next 50 days?

How can farmers survive?

Will people keep standing in queues for 50 days? He is only giving an emotional speech.” West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has been very critical of the demonetisation, called for an opposition front against Modi and even telephoned CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury. She said she and other political leaders would meet President Pranab Mukherjee over the issue this week.

The CPI-M said the government must continue with the validity of the old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes till money supply eases in banks and ATMs. Claiming that the BJP leaders were alerted beforehand about the currency spike, the Congress sought a Supreme Court monitored probe into the alleged transactions just before November 8.

“There have been huge transactions in bullion, diamonds, foreign exchange and securities prior to the demonetisation,” said Congress leader Anand Sharma.

Kargil veteran alleges assault by an SP leader NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (Agencies): A Kargil war veteran who now works as a security guard in Kanpur, has alleged that he was beaten up and humiliated by a Samajwadi Party leader’s men upon the politician’s orders - as well by the police - on Tuesday His ‘crime’? He didn’t salute the SP leader when he was asked to do so.

Ganesh Kumar Shukla, a non-commissioned officer of the Army’s Mahar regiment who served the nation for 22 years, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to help him fight this injustice. He has said that he will immolate himself if he doesn’t get justice.

“Main ye apmaan sehen nahi kar paaunga. Meri ladne me madad kariye (I won’t be able to bear this insult. Please help me in this fight),” he said.

In his statement, Shukla says he told the SP politician - a certain ‘CK Tripathi’ - that he would only salute the tri-colour, or people mandated by the President of India.

Kejriwal lashes out at PM Modi

Arvind Kejriwal NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (Agencies): Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at PM Modi’s demonetisation move on Sunday — yet again.

Saying the November 8 demonetisation had caused immense hardships to people across the country, the AAP leader asked Modi to shed “arrogance” and withdraw the scheme that has led to a severe cash crunch.

“There is still time, take back this decision before the law and order situation further deteriorates,” he said. “The government has no roadmap whatsoever,” Kejriwal added.

Addressing media reporters, he demanded an apology from PM Modi for inconveniencing the common people who are in a ‘state of panic’ after government’s surprise move to

demonetise higher denominations of currency notes.

“PM Modi has mocked them and must apologise. I have received a lot of calls, there is a sense of panic among people after PM’s speech in Goa,” the Delhi CM said while addressing media in the national capital.

Addressing a public gathering in Goa, the PM had said that the ongoing crisis and crash crunch would be over in another 50 days. “This suffering is only for 50 days. Once there is cleanliness (swachhata), not even a mosquito can fly. ....

This is a 70-year old disease and I have to remove it in 70 months,” he said. Kejriwal attacked PM’s statement saying that asking the people to undergo the crisis for another 50 days is no less than making a mockery of their situation. Alleging that the Prime Minister has ‘corporate friends’, Kejriwal said, “If he is really serious about the issue, then he must take strict action against his corporate friends”. Ever since PM Modi announced the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes on Tuesday, the move has been lambasted by the opposition, including Kejriwal.

Rajnath, Jaitely review situation across country New Delhi, Nov 13 (PTI): Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Sunday took stock of the prevailing situation in the country in the wake of demonetisation of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes. In an hour-long meeting, the two Ministers were briefed about the situation in different states where heavy rush were witnessed in banks and ATMs to change old notes and withdraw cash.

Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi and other top officials of the Ministries of Home and Finance attended the meeting, official sources said. The Centre has already asked all states to ensure proper security in all banks, ATMs and vehicles transporting cash in the wake of demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. The Home Ministry has deputed three too officials to be in touch with state governments to ensure security of banks, ATMs and cash transporting vehicles. The three officials are taking regular feedbacks from the DGP and the situation in respective states, official sources said.

Oily and messy

hat has been said about Article 371A with regard to both the rights, privileges and power of the people of Nagaland and by extension, their elected government to decide on all aspects of oil exploration and exploitation even including 33% women reservation, are legitimate concerns. In particular, the issue of the PIL filed in 2012 against clauses contained in the NP and NG rules and regulation 2012 has been described as being detrimental to article 371A. This was expressed on occasions by present parliamentary secretary Geology & Mining Dr Imtiwapang. What has got the NPF-led DAN government in deep trouble was the PIL filed by the Lotha Hoho against the NP&NG Regulations and Rules 2012. On February 28,2014 the state government and the Metropolitan Oil and Gas Private Limited(MOGPL) sing the MoU for under which the controversial firm has been awarded the lucrative oil Zones under Wokha and Peren districts. The PIL was filed by the Lotha Hoho over clauses in the NP&NPG Regulations and Rules 2012 and this has stalled implementation of the controversial MoU. The respondents in the PIL include - MOGPL, State of Nagaland and the union government of India. The bone of contention between the state and the central government arose over whether article 371A gave the power to the state to frame its own laws for oil operations for development of oil fields, extraction, production and sale etc. The government of India maintained that Parliament had the constitution authority and no state has the power to make its own laws regarding oil and natural gas. The government of India filed its counter affidavit over the contentious issue of whether the state assembly, which had resolved to affirm Article 371 A, has the constitutional power to enact its own separate oil rules by over riding the supremacy of the Indian Parliament . It may be recalled that the Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, had on June 8,2013 written to the state government to rescind the NPNG Rules 2012 as Article 371(A) did not provide powers to the state assembly to frame its own laws “ to regular and develop mineral oil”. The union home ministry, further made it clear that power to make law in respect of subjects covered under List-1 of the 7th Schedule of the Constitution of India, including Energy 53 and List-1 rests with Parliament and not with the state legislatures. In a clear reference to the Nagaland Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules 2012 passed by the state assembly, the union home ministry averred that in view of the above, the Nagaland legislative assembly’s resolution “empowering itself with the right to legislate on oil and gas related issues is unconstitutional and invalid.” The interpretation is that while the state has authority over ownership of land and all its resources through Article 371 A; yet that did not grant it supremacy over parliament in framing laws pertaining to extraction and trade in oil and natural gas. The parliamentary secretary’s call on Nagas for solidarity and unity with the state government to protect Article 371A and resolve the issue politically and not legally makes less sense today since the PIL would have to continue with its own legal course and because the state government refused to go slow before going ahead with its rules and later, the MoU.

DailyDevotion Faith or Experience? …the Son of God, who loved me and gave Him-

self for me. —Galatians 2:20 We should battle through our moods, feelings, and emotions into absolute devotion to the Lord Jesus. We must break out of our own little world of experience into abandoned devotion to Him. Think who the New Testament says Jesus Christ is, and then think of the despicable meagerness of the miserable faith we exhibit by saying, “I haven’t had this experience or that experience”! Think what faith in Jesus Christ claims and provides— He can present us faultless before the throne of God, inexpressibly pure, absolutely righteous, and profoundly justified. Stand in absolute adoring faith “in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God— and righteousness and sanctification and redemption…” (1 Corinthians 1:30). How dare we talk of making a sacrifice for the Son of God! We are saved from hell and total destruction, and then we talk about making sacrifices!

We must continually focus and firmly place our faith in Jesus Christ— not a “prayer meeting” Jesus Christ, or a “book” Jesus Christ, but the New Testament Jesus Christ, who is God Incarnate, and who ought to strike us dead at His feet. Our faith must be in the One from whom our salvation springs. Jesus Christ wants our absolute, unrestrained devotion to Himself. We can never experience Jesus Christ, or selfishly bind Him in the confines of our own hearts. Our faith must be built on strong determined confidence in Him. It is because of our trusting in experience that we see the steadfast impatience of the Holy Spirit against unbelief. All of our fears are sinful, and we create our own fears by refusing to nourish ourselves in our faith. How can anyone who is identified with Jesus Christ suffer from doubt or fear! Our lives should be an absolute hymn of praise resulting from perfect, irrepressible, triumphant belief.

Demonetisation is beginning, fight has to be extended

T

he Modi government has taken a unique decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes for easing out black money, root out counterfeit currency notes, stop terror finding and devastate those who are supposed to have stacked huge currency notes.

The EU also demonetized Euro 500 currency in May 2016 to eliminate black money.

In India, it is the second such step since 1978.

The Morarji Desai government had demonetized Rs 10,000 and Rs 1000 currency notes. Then for Rs 10,000 one could purchase a 150-yard plot. It was a rare sight. Average income even of a class one government officer was less than Rs 10000. Obviously, the common man never felt any impact.

These 38 years have changed the dynamics of economy. Now even a labourer or a small trader earns around Rs 10000 a month. The 500-rupee-note has become the basic currency. Even children in average homes do Diwali gambling with it. The piggy bank has more such notes and women also like to keep off a part of husband’s income in supposedly high-denomination

notes. So it impacts almost everyone.

That has led to a chaotic situation. The retail market is unable to function, people are unable to buy vegetable or other commodities, weekly mohalla markets are non-functional, banks are witnessing long queues and trading has come to a halt.

These are, however, stated to be the pangs of transition. As new series of currency notes and 2000rupee-notes are issued, the problems would gradually subside.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley says these would reach a solution in a few days.

However, PK Prusty, competent authority and administrator, Smugglers & Foreign Exchange Manipulators, says that the world over such moves has not succeeded. India may see reduced black money for some time but it may not be eliminated.

Prusty also says that it is not black money but it is “black economy” a country needs to be wary of.

Black economy is all illegal activities including smuggling, drug peddling, money laundering, ‘round tripping’ – routing illegal funds through foreign institutional

or portfolio investors (FII/ FPI) back into the country for investing in shares, bonds or other instruments. Even Daish (ISIS) operates international black economy.

Black money on the other hand is an earning through legal means. It is called “black” because tax on the earning has not Shivaji been paid.

Once a tax is paid, even with penalty, it becomes white. The recent voluntary disclosure with 45 per cent penalty earned Rs 30,000 crore revenue and legitimized incomes of over Rs 65,000 crore. In 1997, Rs 33,3339 crore was declared and Rs 9584 crore was realized as taxes.

There had been similar disclosures earlier as well.

But the generation of black money or evasion of tax has not stopped. Estimates say that total illicit money is about Rs 12 lakh crore. At present some of course have burnt their wealth.

There are views that if income tax rates are reduced to 15 percent, number of taxpayers would double.

Ramification of black money is stated to be not so grave. But black economy has ruinous effect. It impacts the social and economic fibre. It promotes illegal

activities, many tending to be extremely dangerous.

Yes, demonetization may check terror funding and eliminate counterfeit currency notes. The black economy is now 60 percent of GDP. This was 4 percent in 1955.

Some of the trends suggest that Sarkar o p e r a t o r s know how to replace their demonetized currency. Gold sales unexpectedly have gone up the same night as Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetization.

Even hawala operators are hyper active. Some religious and other so-called social organizations have also joined “operation exchange”. The apprehension of experts seems to be proving correct that operators are smarter. The cuts vary from 5 percent to 20 percent.

The move has apparently struck hard some of the political parties. There are reports that many political parties receive donations from “unknown” sources in cash. They reportedly have stacked the funds in cash for impending polls in five states. Would they be able to replace the notes? None knows.

Corporates also are

stated to have such huge cash. But they are stated to be smarter and know how to have these replaced.

Is cash economy the bane? That is how it is being projected. It is stated that there are lobbies which want that transactions to be done through banks. It is stated to be clean and “prevent” generation of black money.

That is not a correct argument. Hawala is said to now function through the banking system.

The European and US economy collapsed as banks like Lehman Brothers and largest US insurance company, AIG, were swindled in 2007. It led to global turmoil.

India has the advantage of a large cash economy. It has sustained through many crisis in the past, including the worst balance of payment in 1990, 2007-08 global crisis, and the recent Rs 12 lakh crore bank NPAs. So banks are not the safe havens or in a position to insulate the economy or eliminate black money generation.

Besides, many large depositors have withdrawn from banks as tax deductions at source erode their deposits. Elimination of TDS on deposits would bring back large depositors

to banks and burden the government less for their recapitalization.

Cash economy is the biggest strength of this country. Over 80 percent of wholesale and farm trade is done in cash. It has the least default, chasing for realization and ensure smooth trading. All cash transactions are not black. A failure in payment has limited impact.

On the contrary, failure of bank transactions can have wider economic and social impact.

The NPAs are eroding deposits of common men.

It is virtual swindling of public money. Now even the government is finding it difficult to recapitalize the banks. The depositors are being penalized as banks are forcing them to suffer interest rate cuts on deposits.

They are also not passing on the repo rate cut benefits to lenders.

The insistence for operations through banks should be given up for a larger, open and safer economy. Ways to encourage cash economy should be pondered over albeit with regulation.

The demonetization is a necessary move. But the operations have to be widened to counter black economy – now a global menace.

Post-mortem

O

An addendum to ‘the tragedy of diminishing reverence to God’

n November 13, 2016, The Morung Express, the Eastern Mirror, and the Nagaland Post published an article

by Husezo Rhakho titled, “THE TRAGEDY OF DIMINISHING REVERENCE TO GOD”. I want to expand on his article and take it in a direction that naturally leads from what he wisely said.

My Rhakho is upset that those who use WhatsApp and Facebook use God in a frivolous manner. An example he gives is when someone states on line, “‘Forward to15 groups or else God will send bad luck to you for 15 years!’” Rhakho states that such messages leave him, “...torn between indignation and amusement....” Shortly after expressing the above, Rhakho states: “God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts. God’s ways are higher than our ways. Since when can man – who is but dust – dictate how GOD – THE ONE ENTHRONED IN HEAVEN – would use His power? We have reduced God to such a point that He would seem just like any of us, whose actions are usually directed based on our EMOTIONS. The One who transcends time and space IS USED AS A MEANS TO PROVE A POINT OR TAKE A STAND.... If we pause even for a span of 10 seconds before forwarding or liking such messages, … we would realise the utter foolishness behind the act.”

[My emphasis, in capitals, in lines four and five.]

I have written a number of articles recently on the topic of the Naga nationalist movement, some of which were published in The Morung Express and the Nagaland Post. I do not intend to get into the details of my arguments here, arguments which try to support my contention that the government of India will never grant a sovereign Naga nation to the Naga people and to pursue the issue, no matter what the consequences, may very well lead to the destruction of the Naga people.

But I do want to address one argument used by some Naga nationalists in support of their contention that they will eventually succeed in getting a sovereign Naga nation. That argument is one that relies on God for support of their position. It is my contention that, if you are going to pursue some goal that, no matter how meritorious , may lead to the destruction of yourself and your people, you have an obligation to be as objective as possible and use facts in as honest a way as possible.

There is no room for God in such an argument.

In an article by Kaka Iralu dated March 16, 2016, titled, “Some Easter Thoughts on Easter 2016,” he quotes words from Isa-

iah 61:1, which include the words, “to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prisons to those who are bound.” Iralu goes on to argue that these words support his position that the Nagas deserve a sovereign Naga nation.

In an article by myself dated May 10, 2016, titled, “Errors and Omisssions … in The Name of Nationalism,” I argue that Iralu’s interpretation of Isaiah 61:1 does not support his position. But I am not interested in addressing that issue again here.

What I am interested in discussing is that Iralu’s attempt to use the Old Testament (what Jews like myself call the Hebrew Scriptures, as contrasted to the New Testament, or – to Jews – the Christian Scriptures) is completely inappropriate, but very common, not just by Iralu, but by millions of people throughout the world since the beginning of written history.

I will now attempt, with the help of Rhakho’s article, to show the error and dishonesty of supporting any position by referencing the Old or New Testament, or any other religious book that is founded on faith.

I want to repeat a section of Rhakho’s article already quoted above: “We have reduced God to such a point that He would seem just like any of us, whose actions are usually directed based on emotion. The One who transcends time and space is used [like Iralu tried to do] as a means to prove a point [that the Nagas deserve a sovereign nation] or take a stand.”

It is my contention, as Rhakho states above, that our “actions are usually directed based on emotions.” It is a fact that the issue of Naga nationalism is a very emotional one for all Nagas, and that it is a natural human tendency for Nagas to grasp at any support they can to prove the correctness of their position.

There are a number of Christian bibles, all treating the reader differently. The Holy Bible, published by The Gideons, and found in many hotel rooms, treats the reader like a child or someone who is not familiar with the Christian religion. In the front it has sections like, “HELP IN TIME OF NEED,” and multiple headings under “SUGGESTED READINGS,” such as “PRACTICAL PRECEPTS,” where the reader can learn the chapters and verses explaining, for example, “Christian Home Relationships” and “A Model Wife and Mother.”

But the bible I’m most interested in discussing is the King James Version of The Holy Bible.

This bible illustrates how easily it is to misuse the bible, to bend it to confirm any view you have, no matter how erroneous or even

evil. In the rear of the bible, it has a word index, titled, “CONCORDANCE To the Holy Scriptures”.

The section is over 100 pages long, and has hundreds of words, starting with “ABASE,” and ending with “ZEALOUSLY.” In between those two words, are nearly every imaginable word dealing with topics in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, from “FREE” to “WAR.” And under each word are the chapters and verses where these words are used in the bible. There are literally thousands of entries.

And I finally come to my main point. Within those thousands of entries, a Naga nationalist, or any other person wanting to take a position on an issue, can find some chapter and verse, with the emotional will to read such chapter and verse in a way suitable to his point of view, that can be cited by that person as supporting his position, whether that view of the chapter and verse is accurate or not, whether it is honestly done or is a lie. One can make the bible say anything you want it to say.

There are those who spend their lives trying to understand the bible: the exercise of doing so is called exegesis, and those who do this are still not sure what much of the bible means.

But any person with an agenda, a position that they feel strongly about, can, in complete ignorance or with deliberate knowledge of its error, state that the bible means anything they say it means. The vast majority of readers will either not have the interest or the knowledge to call attention to the errors or lies of the writer.

Those who want to kill, like the IS(the Islamic State), will quote their version of the Koran in support of the killing. Those who want to destroy a certain people, such as the Christian crusaders in the Middle Ages who destroyed thousands of Muslims in the name of the Christian God, those who want to keep land that others may have a valid claim to, such as my Orthodox Jewish brethren on the West Bank of the Jordan River, will quote God to back up their position, no matter how many die, no matter whether their claims lead to a major war.

The Chosen People are chosen by God, and therefore they cannot be wrong!

If the Nagas want a sovereign nation, if anyone wants any specific thing that is contested and may lead to violence and hatred, it is best to rely for their arguments on facts and reality, not on faith and delusion.

A review on W.Shopwan’s book ‘the illegal formation of the NSCN’

I

t is a universal fact that no political Government of any country in the world can be established without the mandate of the people concerned. In line with this universal political law, Shopwan introduces his book by saying: “A Co-operative Society or business enterprise in any country can be formed without a national mandate. But can the Government of a nation be formed without any reference to the people of that nation? Can a national Government indeed be formed without the mandate of the nation? There is absolutely no such provision for the formation of a National Government under International Law. Therefore, any such Government, formed without the prior mandate of a nation is an illegitimate Government....this so-called illegitimate Government of the People’s Republic of Nagaland (GPRN) was formed without any prior mandate of the Naga people. In fact, this un-mandated Government was formed by just some Naga rebels from the jungles of the Heimi region in the Eastern Sector of Nagaland without consulting or even informing the then existing Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN). As for the Federal Government of Nagaland, it was formed on March 22, 1956 with the mandate of all the people of Nagaland. The incumbent President of this Naga people’s Government was Mr. Zashei Huire, when the NSCN was illegitimately formed on 1980.

Shopwan then went on to state that that this illegitimate government was formed on the allegation that the NNC had betrayed the nation through the Signing of the Shillong Accord of 1975. But to counter this allegation, Shopwan asks the question

as to how the NNC can be guilty of betraying the nation when its top leaders- President A.Z. Phizo was in London, the Vice President Imkongmeren was in an Indian prison and its General Secretary Th. Muivah and Isak Chishi were in China when the Shillong Accord was signed on November 11, 1975.

Also, none of these top leaders of the NNC were ever consulted nor ever gave their consent to the Shillong Accord.

Finally Shopwan ends by stating: “The present book is an exposure of all the trickery and lies that were used by the renegade NSCN leaders to form a Naga government without consulting the Naga people. After reading this book, every Naga will realize that the NSCN has absolutely no legitimacy to call itself a Government that can represent the Naga people. At the same time, if the Indian Government makes any settlement with this illegitimate government, in spite of all the evidences exposed in this book, then India will be committing a transgression of all the norms of International Law and also make itself a mockery before the whole world.”

The book contains much important information with dates and name of villages and the people who were involved in the events that have led to the terrible fratricidal killings among our own Naga family. It is a book written by a courageous Naga who was an eye witness to most of these events. In my opinion this is a book that must be read by every Naga who wants to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The book is just 164 pages and priced at Rs 250 and is now available in all the major bookstalls in Nagaland.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Demonetization is an affliction to the villagers

The demonetization of old notes of 500 and 1000 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an affliction to people from remote areas.

Besides long queues in towns and cities, villagers are the ones who suffers the most. At most we travel for 30-60 min to get in Queue, still we complain and complain. However a villager had to travel 3-6 hours or more and mostly by foot to get in queue with hopeless of getting a chance to get exchanged of rs 4000 and return home the same day, and fortunately if they had preserved little more money, they have to keep on travelling leaving behind their harvest to save their hard earned little amount within a stipulated time for they don’t have bank accounts to get deposited. There are several villages far away from town without vehicular transportation, without proper road connectivity. Therefore, if the bank staffs are directed to reach out those dwelling in remote areas to save their hard earned little amount, definitely it will not be affliction to villagers as stated but a retribution to black money holders.

New notes of Rs 500 would also be “available for dispensation in ATMs”, once they are available with the bank.

Presently, banks have been refilling ATMs with Rs 100 notes.

“We are replenishing ATMs with Rs 100 notes.

But a ATM carries about 2,500 notes of Rs 100 denomination.

These are going empty quickly after serving 125 persons on average,” she said.

BELAGAVI, NOV 13 ( Agencies ) : P r i m e Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday made an appeal to universities in the country to aspire to be among the top 100 globally and promised special economic assistance. There is no Indian university among the world’s top 100 universities, Modi said, adding, we feel “ashamed”.

“I invite 10 public and 10 private universities to come forward and take a pledge to make a place for themselves in the top 100 universities of the world.

“Those who will come forward will get special economic assistance. They will be given relaxation from seeking various approvals.

There will be an open field for them,” he said.

The Prime Minister was speaking at the centenary celebrations of Karnataka Lingayat Education Society (KLES) at Belagavi. He also urged the students to actively participate in sports and aim for a Gold in Tokyo Olympics in 2020. “In 2020 during ToKyo Olympics there should be some gold medals from KLES,” he said.

Kolkata, Nov 13 (IANS): State Bank of India (SBI) expects to calibrate 1,000 of its ATMs for Rs 2,000 currency notes by Monday night, its Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya said on Sunday.

“We are working hard to bring back normalcy in banking service.

In all India level, we expect to calibrate 1000 ATMs with Rs 2,000 notes by tomorrow (Monday) night and many more ATMs will gradually be calibrated for new currency,” she said.

ATMs in India have separate cassettes (boxes) to hold different denominations of cash such as Rs 100, Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. Configurations of cassettes vary as per the

What was meant to be a war on hoarders and tax defaulters have turned into a crisis for the general public. But amid the gloom and anger which has descended in several parts of the country over the demonetization scheme, Odisha, somehow seems to be an oasis of peace. Not because people in this part of the world have more cash to spare, or that they aren’t facing the brunt of the cash crunch, but because they are ready

U N I T E D NAT I O N S, NOV 13 (Agencies): India’s bid for a permanent seat in a reformed UN Security Council has received a strong support from many UN member states, including the UK and France, who emphasised that the world body’s top organ must reflect the emergence of new global powers.

manent Representative Alexis Lamek said his country wished to see the Council reflect the emergence of new world powers, for which it supported the candidacies of Germany, Brazil, India and Japan and the increased representation of African countries in both the permanent and non-permanent membership.

The five permanent members should also refrain from using the veto in cases of mass atrocities, a commitment that France had already made, he said.

German ambassador to the UN Harald Braun, speaking on behalf of the G4 Group of Brazil, India, Japan and Germany, said Council reform was an urgent matter, saying the Council must be rendered fit-for-purpose in order to face the current global challenges of peace and security. He added that all regions must be adequately represented to ensure legitimacy and effectiveness.

During the session, India’s Ambassador to the UN Syed Akbaruddin, in a stinging criticism of the Security Council, had said that the 15-nation body is “stuck in its own time warp and politics.”

and other emerging powers like Brazil and Germany were two veto-wielding permanent members of the Council - the United Kingdom and France.

UK’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said at the session that Britain believes in a modest expansion in the permanent and non-permanent categories is the approach that the UN member states should collectively pursue.

The increase in membership should be such that it balances representation with effectiveness.

Rycroft reiterated his country’s support for permanent seats for Brazil, Germany, India and Japan, alongside permanent African representation.

Referring to British Prime Minister Theresa May’s visit to India last week, her first bilateral trip outside Europe since taking office, Rycroft said she discussed “that very issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

“Our support is steadfast, and I look forward to working through all available avenues to reach the more representative and more effective Council that we seek,” he said.

New Delhi, Nov 13 (PTI): The ongoing quarterly results season, inflation data and global cues after the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential poll are likely to dictate market sentiment in a holiday-shortened week ahead, according to experts. Market participants are also digesting the fallout of the government’s move to demonetise high value notes. Stock markets will remain closed on Monday on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti. “Global cues, macroeconomic data and Q2 corporate earnings will dictate sentiment in the market in a truncated trading session,” said Vijay Singhania, founder director, Trade Smart Online.

Besides, wholesale price inflation (WPI) and consumer price inflation (CPI) data for October - due during the week - are likely to steer trading sentiment. Stock markets may also react to industrial production data when they open for trading on Tuesday. Industrial production grew a meagre 0.7 per cent in September mainly due to poor show by manufacturing and mining sectors coupled with decline in capital goods output.

MUMBAI, Nov 13 (PTI): Private sector Axis Bank expects a dip in lending rates because of the surge in deposits which lenders are experiencing in the aftermath of the government’s move to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.

“The deposits are into savings or current accounts which are low cost ones.

An increase in them should bring down our cost of funds,” Axis Bank’s Head of Retail Banking Rajiv Anand told PTI. “The decrease in cost of funds should bring down the lending rates over a period of time,” he added.

The comments will come as good news for the millions of harried people who have been queuing up outside banks to either deposit the scrapped notes or withdraw accepted tender for meeting their daily expenses in a predominantly cash economy.

Banks have introduced a slew of relaxations for making it easier for the customers, including extending the banking hours and keeping branches open on the weekend.

According to the railways, the use of e-wallets like PayTM in the unreserved ticketing system are expected to boost the paperless mobile ticketing operation.

While the current mobile ticketing requires geofencing of certain area to prevent malpractices, there is no need for such measures with these e-wallets.

Discussions are on with these players for making the operation foolproof with bar-coding system as more than one crore tickets are sold daily through unreserved ticketing system, said the official.

Since these e-wallets are already operational for booking taxis, cinema tickets and other services, joining the railways will offer a big scope for these private players.

The move is a win-win proposition for both the railways and the mobile wallet companies, the official said.

The railways carry total 23 million passengers in a day, of which only six per cent is in reserved category and the rest are in unreserved segment which includes daily commuters.

At present, mobile ticketing options are available in a few suburban sections including Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi-Palwal.

The move is also expected to help scale up paperless mobile ticketing operation across the country in a big way.

Unreserved ticketing forms a huge chunk of the railways’ total ticket sale in a day and “we want to tap this sector through ecommerce”, said a senior Railway Ministry official.

The railways will not have to bear any cost for the facility. Instead, the public transporter is expected to earn from the selected ewallet players commission on each ticket sold and retainer fees.

New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS): India and Bhutan signed a new bilateral trade agreement on Saturday to enhance trade between the two countries through trade facilitation by improving procedures, an official statement said.

“The bilateral agreement aims at cutting down on documentation and adding additional exit and entry points for Bhutan’s trade with other countries. It is also expected to further strengthen the excellent relations between the two countries,” Commerce Ministry said in a statement.

The agreement was signed by Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and H.E. Tengye Lyonpo Lekey Dorji, Minister for Economic Affairs, Bhutan.

It said there are instances where ironically, people filing their income tax returns and living a clean life, are forced to withdraw cash from their legitimate bank accounts cash for such transactions.

“Thus, the system forces you to convert white into black. Nobody likes it, but the state governments must come forward and slash it by at least 50 per cent and the move would result in increase in their revenue rather than reducing it,” Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said.

He also said that the lower stamp duty would revive the demand in the highly suppressed sector which would further be jolted with cash totally drying out from the transactions.

Besides, demonetisation will suck excess liquidity from the system, which means inflationary pressure on real estate will come down, which down the line will bring stability on the prices. “This could be possible in as soon as the next 6-12 months and the real estate sector, which is in compliance with transparent and fair practices like RERA is bound to grow,” Anand said adding that the current real estate market was at the best possible price point with a thin margin for the developers but in the changed scenario the financial institutions could enable higher home buying.

The industry body said that the biggest beneficiary of the move would be buyers of residential or commercial properties.

“One of the biggest reasons for the cash forming 30-40 per cent of the real estate transactions is the high level of stamp duty. With 6-7 per cent stamp duty, purchaser of a flat worth Rs 1-1.50 crore will have to shell out different government levies and other charges like registration and lawyers’ fee to the extent of Rs 10 lakh or so.

French PM reaffirms emergency

Paris, NOV 13 (AGENCIES): France’s state of emergency imposed after last year’s terror attacks in Paris is likely to be extended, Prime Minister Manuel Valls has told the BBC. He said the measures were needed to “protect our democracy”.

Valls was speaking on the first anniversary of the attacks by Islamist militants, in which 130 people died.

President Francois Hollande marked the first anniversary of the Paris attacks by unveiling plaques commemorating the victims.

Starting with the Stade de France and ending with the Bataclan concert hall, Hollande and the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo visited the six sites targeted in the attacks, paying tribute to the victims.

Hollande did not speak at the sites, saying he wanted the day to focus on remembering the victims rather than on politics.

Names of the victims have been read out at each site.

At the Stade de France, the son of victim Manuel Dias, the single person killed there, spoke on behalf of his Portuguese-born father,

saying his father was “proof that integration is possible ‘’. “Long live tolerance, long live intelligence, long live France,” he said.

NATO chief warns Trump against ‘going it alone’ L O N D O N, N OV 1 3 (Agencies):: NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Sunday warned Donald Trump that “going it alone” is not an option for Europe or America, amid concerns over the president-elect’s position on the US-led military alliance.

In article in Britain’s Observer newspaper, days after Trump’s US election win, Secretary General Stoltenberg said, the West faced its greatest security challenge in a generation.

During his election campaign, Trump described Western military alliance NATO as obsolete. He suggested that the US would think twice about coming to the aid of any NATO ally under attack if it had not paid its dues.

“We face the greatest challenges to our security in a generation,” Stoltenberg wrote while conceding that Trump had a point about the need for some members to make a bigger financial contribution, as the US currently accounted for almost 70 per cent of NATO spending.

But he added that

American leaders had always recognised that they had a profound strategic interest in a stable and secure Europe.

“It is all too easy to take the freedoms, security and prosperity we enjoy for granted. In these uncertain times we need strong American leadership, and we need Europeans to shoulder their fair share of the burden,” the former Norwegian prime minister wrote.

“Going it alone is not an option, either for Europe or for the United States.

We face the greatest challenges to our security in a generation. This is no time to question the value of the partnership between Europe and the United States.”

The 9/11 attack on the US, Stoltenberg pointed out, was the only time that NATO had invoked its self-defence clause, which requires all members to come to the aid of one that is attacked.

“This was more than just a symbol. NATO went on to take charge of the operation in Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands of European soldiers have served in Afghanistan since.

The singer told the audience, including survivors of the attack, that they had to honour the dead and celebrate life. A minute’s silence was held at the renovated venue for those killed in the attacks on the French capital by jihadists from so-called Islamic State.

On 13 November 2015, a group of jihadists launched co-ordinated attacks on the Stade de France and restaurants filled with people on a

by Maoists paralyses Nepal KATHMANDU, NOV 13 (Agencies): Normal life has been affected in Nepal as a Maoist faction imposed a nationwide strike to pressurise the government to ensure food security and lower the prices of essential goods, with police arresting more than 100 people for vandalising vehicles and forcing shops to close.

The strike was called by the Netra Bikram Chandled CPN (Maoist). Most of the educational institutions remained closed in Kathmandu and shops remained partially closed.

Most of the public vehicles, including taxis, were off the road. Maoist cadres vandalised vehicles in different parts of the country.

The police arrested at least 100 cadres belonging to the CPN-Maoist (Chanda), a smaller faction of Maoist party, who were involved in vandalising shops and vehicles to enforce the shut down, the police said.

Friday evening.

The Bataclan concert hall was the scene of the deadliest attack. Three gunmen entered the venue and fired on the crowd, killing 90 people.

On Saturday, in an interview with the BBC’s Hardtalk programme, Valls said the state of emergency would be extended because there was a risk of “attacks of the kind we saw in Nice”.

Nauru, NOV 13 (Agencies): Australia and the US have reached a resettlement deal for asylum seekers held in offshore detention centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. Under the agreement, the migrants there will be assessed and the most vulnerable will be resettled in the US. About 1,200 people are being held in the asylum centres on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea and on Nauru island.

Australia’s policy of sending migrants who arrive by boat to offshore facilities has been criticised.

Announcing the deal with the US on Sunday, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the resettlement process would be gradual. “US authorities will conduct their own assessment of refugees and decide which people are resettled in the US,” he said.

He did not say how many refugees would be relocated, but said that women, children and families would be prioritised. The agreement, to be administered with the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR, is available only to those currently in the processing centres.

Erdogan hints at referendum on Turkey joining European Union I S TA N BU L , N OV 1 3 (Agencies): Accusing Brussels of wanting Turkey to abandon its bid to join the EU, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hinted in an interview published on Sunday he might put the question to a referendum.

“The European Union is trying to compel us to withdraw from this (accession) process. If they don’t want us they should be clear about this, they should make a decision,” Erdogan told the leading daily Hurriyet.

“Our patience is not endless. If need be, later, we could also consult our people,” he said, alluding to the UK’s Brexit referendum in June.

Turkey’s bid to join the EU dates back to the 1960s with formal talks starting in 2005. But the process has been mired in problems, which current tensions have done nothing to help.

Rocky relations between Ankara and the EU became even more strained in the wake of the failed coup in Turkey in July.

Since then, some 35,000 people have been arrested and tens of thousands more have lost their

jobs -- including military officers, judges, teachers, civil servants and journalists -- in a sweeping crackdown against alleged supporters of those behind the coup.

More than 100 journalists have been arrested while 170 media outlets including newspapers and broadcasters have been closed down, according to the Turkey Journalists’ Association.

“Some people are saying we should lift the state of emergency. Why would we lift it now?” Erdogan told Hurriyet.

O n S a t u r d ay, t h e president reiterated that he would support parliament if it voted to restore the death penalty, a move that would further alienate Turkey from its European critics.

9 Nimrud: Iraqi forces ‘retake city from IS’ N im r ud, N O V 1 3 (Agencies): Iraqi government forces say they have captured Nimrud, the site of an ancient Assyrian city overrun by Islamic State (IS) group militants two years ago. In March 2015, officials and historians condemned IS for the destruction of the archaeological site, which dates back to the 13th Century BC. The UN’s cultural body described the act as a war crime. IS says shrines and statues are “false idols” that have to be smashed.

Nimr ud lies about 30km (20 miles) south-east of the major city of Mosul, which Iraqi government forces are attempting to take from IS. An Iraqi military statement said: “Troops from the Ninth Armoured Division liberated Nimrud town completely and raised the Iraqi flag above its buildings after inflicting loss of life and equipment on the so-called Islamic State.” Meanwhile, human rights activists have accused Kurdish forces in Iraq of demolishing the houses of Sunni Arabs in at least 20 villages and towns in areas which had been under the control of IS.

IS group flourishes and recruits in Pakistan: Analysts ISLAMABAD, NOV 13 (Agencies): The Islamic State group is increasing its presence in Pakistan, recruiting Uzbek militants, attracting disgruntled Taliban fighters and partnering with one of Pakistan’s most violent sectarian groups, according to police officers, Taliban officials and analysts.

Its latest atrocity was an attack yesterday on a Sufi shrine in southwestern Pakistan that killed at least 50 people and wounded 100 others. The group said in a statement that a suicide bomber attacked the shrine with the intent of killing Shiite Muslims and issued a picture of the attacker.

When IS circulated a photograph of one of the attackers in last month’s deadly assault on a police academy in southwestern Baluchistan province, two Taliban officials told The Associated Press that the attacker was an Uzbek, most likely a member of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

More than 60 people, most of them police recruits, were killed in that October 26 attack when three assailants battled security forces for hours before being killed or detonating their suicide vests.

The Taliban officials, both of whom are familiar with the IMU, spoke on condition of anonymity because their leadership has banned them from talking to the media.

Authorities initially said the police academy attack was orchestrated by militants hiding out in Afghanistan and blamed Pakistan’s virulently anti-Shiite group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.

But IS later claimed responsibility and Lashkar-eJhangvi spokesman Ali Bin Sufyan said they partnered with IS to carry out the assault.

In Afghanistan and Pakistan, the extremist group has adopted the name the Islamic State in Khorasan - a reference to an ancient geographical region that encompassed a vast swath

of territory stretching from Turkmenistan through Iran and Afghanistan.

IS in Khorasan has set up its base in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province, and while it has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State

group in Syria and Iraq, it remains unclear whether there are direct operational or financial links between the two. According to police, Afghan officials and IS media outlets, the majority of Islamic State fighters in

Afghanistan are Pakistani nationals, mostly from the tribal regions.

Disgruntled Taliban fighters from Pakistan and Afghanistan have joined along with foreign fighters, mainly from central Asia.

Aishwarya praises PM All Sumi Music Festival tonight at Town Hall Sting reopens Bataclan tribute Modi’s demonetisation to David Bowie and Prince A “W e’ve got two important things to do tonight: first, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attacks a year ago and to celebrate the life and the music of this historic venue.”

A day shy of the anniversary of the Paris attacks, Sting reopened Paris’ Bataclan theater with a minute of silence for the 90 killed and dedicated the song “50,000” to David Bowie and Prince, among others.

Coming on stage promptly at 9 p.m. to a subdued crowd, the British rocker began with remarks honoring the victims that were killed when terrorists stormed the theater last Nov. 13.

“We’ve got two important things to do tonight,” he said in French. “First, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attacks a year ago and to celebrate the life and the music of this historic venue.”

He then called for the

minute of silence which proved to be an existential exhale for the tense crowd.

“We shall not forget them,” he said before launching into 1988’s “Fragile,” whose lyrics read: “Nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could,” before

launching into “Message in a Bottle.”

He then began a list of those musicians lost his year. “David Bowie, Prince, Glenn Frey, Lemmy...” he said before the crowd shouted “Leonard Cohen!”

“And Leonard,” he added. “This is for them.”

He dedicated “FIfty Thousand” from his new album 57th & 9th to the late musicians.

His “Inshallah” was next, which might have proved more controversial.

He explained the Arabic word as a “word of hope,” however, noting the current migrant crisis that is plaguing Europe.

“And now for rock ‘n’ roll,” he said, as he launched into “Petrol Head.”

fter Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan and a host of other celebrities praised PM Modi for demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the latest Bollywood celebrity to come out in support of the decision. In a recent interview Aishwarya said that the decision was a necessary move for Modi’s “larger vision to wipe out corruption in our country”.

She added that the citizens should understand and recognize the larger picture. Aware of the trouble that the common man is going through because of the decision, the actress pointed out that change can always bring about a little bit of discomfort but one should embrace it for the betterment of the country.

A

ll Sumi Music Festival will be holding a concert under the theme “Confluence of Ethnic Melody” at Town Hall today, from 5:30 p.m. onwards. The event will be a cumulative event of all the renowned Sumi musicians and the has been organized coinciding the Ahuna festival of the Sumi community.

Organised by All Sumi Music Association, the concert will feature artistes including

S p r i n g Vo i c e, L a phu Pumi, Lucky Guys, 3 Brothers, True Vine, Keylho Wokami and Ghokiye.

The event is a first of its kind and will also include other activities including cultural show which will be presented by the former Miss Sumis under the aegis of SULIMI. Artistes including Aloke Yepthomi, Kitol Swu, Vitolu Sumi will also be performing during the event.

The organizers have invited all the Sumis to come

and witness the event and also get to know the amazing talents coming out from the community. The event will be a platform for promotion of the artistes from the Sumi community.

The organizers comprised of members who have been into the music field extensively. They further said the presence of the general public at the event will be a source of great boost and encouragement to the artistes and upcoming talents as well.

Rock’n’roll legend Leon Russell dies at 74 Plagiarised? Khasi musicians claim ‘Rock On 2’ song copied from local anthem

L

eon Russell, an America rock’n’roll hall of famer, died in his sleep at the age of 74 in Nashville, Tennessee.

He was famed for his “gospel-infused southern boogie piano rock, blues, and country music”, his

website says.

Russell played anonymously as a studio pianist in the 1960s before his breakthrough in the 1970s.

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.

Elton John has called him his “biggest influence as a

piano player, a singer and a songwriter”.

Russell’s had a relatively brief period of stardom in the 70s which was later revived in 2010 with the help of Elton John when the two collaborated on an album called The Union. The record took third place in a list of 2010’s best albums by the Rolling Stones.

Over his career, Russell recorded more than 35 albums and was best known for his A Song for You. The song was recorded and covered by the Carpenters, the Temptations, Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and his good friend Willie Nelson.

F

amily members of Late E Brektist R Wanswett claim his popular song Khynriam u Pnar, u Bhoi, u War, was used in the recently released ‘Rock On 2’ without credit or permission.

The song was apparently written during a prominent hill state movement and is one of their most-loved folk tunes. The artiste’s family knew of the song

being used in the movie since February this year and had issued a notice in local newspapers, which was apparently carried by the region’s popular dailies.

In a documentary called Gwalia in Khasia, Brek and his family are seen singing the number, proving their side of their story.

Now that the movie has hit the screens, the issue seems to have resur-

faced. The track titled Hoi Kiw (Chalo Chalo) features Usha Uthup along with the popular band Summersault performing it.

Though producer Ritesh Sidhwani remained unavailable for a comment, the film’s director Shujaat

Saudagar told us, “The rights of the song used in the movie belong to the band Summersault from Meghalaya. They have even been credited for the track in the film’s album. The band has performed this song many times before as well.

Kohli stands firm to help India salvage a draw

Indian batsman Virat Kohli plays a shot on the fifth day of the first Test match against England in Rajkot on Sunday. (PTI)

Rajkot, Nov 13 (PTI): India survived a scare before managing to draw the first cricket Test against England, who gained the psychological advantage after enjoying the upper-hand for the better part of the five days here.

Set a near impossible target of 310 in a minimum 49 overs, India managed to reach 172 for six in 52.3 overs and were never really in the hunt.

Skipper Virat Kohli

showed patience as he consumed 98 balls for his unbeaten 49 that had six boundaries and Ravindra Jadeja (32 not out) also hit some lusty blows after the sixth wicket had fallen at 132. Earlier, Alastair Cook scored his 30th Test century with England declaring at 260 for 3 in the second innings. That India had literally no chance of winning was ensured by a 180run opening stand between Cook (130) and young teen-

ager Haseeb Hameed (82) earlier in the day.

On a fifth day pitch that didn’t show considerable signs of wear and tear, the Indian spinners barring a brief spell by Amit Mishra (2/60 in 13 overs), were rendered ineffective by Captain Cook, who batted for nearly five hours to hit 13 fours in 243 balls.

The first Test once again raised serious questions about the ability of the Indian spinners to bowl on

Steyn out of action till mid 2017 Melbourne, Nov 13 (Agencies): South Africa pace spearhead Dale Steyn is likely to be sidelined for at least six months after undergoing surgery in the right shoulder after he suffered a fracture during the first Test win over Australia at Perth last week.

Steyn, 33, suffered the potentially career-threatening shoulder fracture while bowling in the Australia first innings at the WACA. The fast bowler, who flew home, underwent surgery in Cape Town on Thursday. Steyn had suffered a previous injury in the same right shoulder in December last year, and the latest setback is expected to keep him out of action until at least May. “Dale had successful surgery on Thursday where the fracture in the right shoulder blade was fixated with the placement of a screw. We expect a minimum six-month rehabilitation period before he can start any form of bowling,” Proteas team manager and medical officer, Mohammed Moosajee, was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

The two wrestlers who got medals were B. Bongtang Phom (M) bronze from IG academy under 14 boys (49kg) and Khrunezolu from Phek (F) bronze under 19 (51kg).

Ashwin, India’s premier strike bowler, in all bowled 69.3 overs across two innings getting only 3 wickets giving away 230 runs. Ravindra Jadeja got 3 wickets in 47 overs in the match while Mishra also had 3 scalps to this credit having bowled 36.3 overs but not before giving away as many as 158 runs.

On the day, Ashwin at one point of time was bowling a negative line to both Cook and Ben Stokes (29 not out) outside the leg-stump in order to stem the flow of runs. The other worrying aspect will be veteran opener Gautam Gambhir’s form and technical deficiencies that were again exposed in front of some quality seam bowling.

After succumbing to an in-swinger from Stuart Broad in the first innings, the left-hander awkwardly dabbed at a short ball to be dismissed for zero in the slip cordon. With Karun Nair waiting in the wings and KL Rahul back with a bang from injury scoring a 75 in today’s Ranji Trophy game,

Mansukh L. Mandaviya flagging off the India, Myanmar and Thailand (IMT) Friendship Motor Car Rally 2016 in New Delhi on Sunday.

Spl. Correspondent NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (NPN): With the objective to improve connectivity by road in the South-East Asian region and to sensitize the stakeholders of India Myanmar and Thailand Motor Vehicle Agreement regarding potential benefits of such a regulatory regime, a Friendship Motor Car Rally was flagged off by union minister of state for Transport and Highways, Shipping and Chemical Fertilisers Mansukh Lal Mandaviya on Sunday.

gathering here at the India gate lawns, Mandaviya said the rally would also play an important role in developing the economic, transport and cultural relations among the three countries. He said the rally would give a boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Act East Policy’ and would improve India’s relationship with its neighbouring countries.

On the occasion, Ambassador of Thailand Chalit Manityakul was also present.

A commemorative stamp for IMT Rally, 2016 was also released on the occasion.

The rally caravan will cover a distance of 5,722 KMs along the IMT Trilateral Highway with about 80 participants from all the three countries, in 20 Indian made vehicles on a journey from Delhi to Bangkok over 19 days. Ceremonial flag off will also be held in other cit-

ies and state capitals enroute like Sarnath, Bodhgaya, Patna, Siliguri, Guwahati, Shillong, Kohima and Imphal and in cities in Myanmar and Thailand.

The rally that will conclude at Bangkok on December 2 will further cement cultural and economic ties among the three nations and highlight the potential benefits of connectivity and integration in the region and in keeping with India’s focus on its close neighbourhood, said a statement issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

A trial run of passenger vehicles on the IMT Trilateral Highway up to Naypitaw in Myanmar was carried out during 9-14 November, 2015 in which Indian vehicles travelled to Myanmar on ImphalMandalay-Bagan-Naypitaw route and back.

Dynamos rally to hold ATK 2-2

New Delhi, Nov 13 (PTI): Delhi Dynamos maintained their unbeaten run at home despite playing the entire second half with 10 men, as they rallied twice to hold Atletico de Kolkata 2-2 in an enthralling match.

Atletico de Kolkata grabbed the lead in the 17th minute when Iain Hume, the ISL’s highest scorer, placed the ball perfectly off an excellent through by Sameehg Douti. The Scot, who was felled in by Anas Edathodika in the very first minute of the match, received the ball and with his second touch, curled it past Antonio Doblas despite having a man marked for him.

Hume’s experienced helped him execute it to perfection.

The hosts were dealt a blow when Badara Badji, playing upfront in place of Richard Gadze, was sent off for getting his econd yellow card of the match.

Dynamos had a chance

to pull things back when they were awarded a penalty for a foul by Prabir Das, who brought Marcelinho down inside the box. However, much to the dimay and shock of the home fans, Malouda Atletico goalkeeper Debjit Majumder dived the right way to deny Malouda in the 61st minute.

Receiving a pass at the edge of the box from Kean Francis Lewis, Milan Singh then launched into a powerpacked left-footer from nowhere to bring the scores level in the 63rd minute.

Dynamos’ joy was shortlived as substitute Javier Lara Grande put ATK in the lead again when the unmarked Spanish midfielder smashed one past a hapless Doblas. Atletico could not rejoice for long as Malouda made amends for his spotkick blunder by finding the back of the net off David Addy’s assist in the 74th minute to make it 2-2.
