Jaitley clarifies changes in funding pattern for NE Arun Jaitley (File)

NEW DELHI, NOV 26 (AGENCIES): Clarifying the Centre’s stand on change in funding pattern, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said for all ‘core of the core’ schemes, the funding pattern for the eight North Eastern states would continue to be in the ratio of 90:10. Ever since endorsement of the recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission (FFC), there was confusion over the fate of the funding pattern ratio and the fate of the North Eastern states as ‘Special Category States’.

In reply to a Lok Sabha question, Jaitley said that the existing funding pattern will continue for core of the core schemes. For core schemes, the funding pattern for the

eight North Eastern states and Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir shall be Centre 90 per cent and state 10 per cent, whereas for the rest of the states, this ratio shall be Centre 60 per cent and state 40 per cent.

For optional schemes, the funding pattern for the eight North Eastern states and Himalayan states of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir shall be Centre 80 per cent and state 20 per cent, whereas for the rest of the states it will be Centre 50 per cent and state 50 per cent.

Ordinarily, no centrally sponsored schemes (CSS) will be sanctioned where the Central share is less than 50 per cent. “However, all the sharing patterns indicated above shall be subject to the proviso that if the Central share is already below that indicated in the sharing pattern, then the Centre’s share would remain capped at their present level,” Jaitley said.

The Union Finance Minister said the govern-

ment received representations from states regarding the changed pattern in the CSS. The government has accepted the recommendations of the sub-group and NITI Aayog on August 17, and has issued modalities regarding rationalisation of the CSS, including their funding pattern, informed Jaitley. The FFC after considering all factors, recommended enhancement in the share of the states in the divisible pool of Central taxes and duties from 32 per cent to 42 per cent with effect from 2015-16, which was accepted by the Union Government.

In reply to a separate question, the minister said that according to the formula adopted under the 13th Finance Commission, the pattern of financial assistance to northeastern states for the CSS was Centre 90 per cent and state 10 per cent. Following the recommendations of the FFC, devolution to the states was increased from 32 per cent to 42 per cent.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 6 (NPN): With over 100 Dengue cases reported in Dimapur district alone, the situation has indeed become quite grim.

Despite several measures understaken by authorities to contain the spread of dengue, there has been rise in cases.

The measures undertaken such as fogging of various areas and distribution of larvivorous fish that feeds on mosquito larvae to public still have a long way to go. The district hospital also provides ELISA-based dengue detection kit approved by World Health Organization (WHO) to detect dengue virus in patients free of cost.

In central areas of Dimapur city, fogging has not been effected mainly in drains collecting stagnant water and also in building under construction where rain water is trapped and providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Though it was yet to be confimred, there were reports that two persons succumbed to dengue fever in Dimapur.

This is it!

UPDS observes 5th anniversary of MoS Correspondent

Diphu, Nov 26: Ex-UPDS welfare society, Diphu observed the 5th Anniversary of the signing of Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) with Government of India, at its office. Former UPDS leaders expressed displeasure at Government of India for failing to implement the MoS after five long years.

“There is a strong political conspiracy to destabilized the MoS accord as the government promised to cancel all the pending cases against the UPDS, but is yet to be materialize” said Moniram Ronghang former chairman of UPDS. After more than a decade of armed struggle for separate Homeland for the Karbi’s, a tripartite agreement with the Government of India, Assam government and UPDS was signed on November 25, 2011 at New Delhi. General secretary Ananda Terang, assistant general secretary Langtuk Hanse, publicity secretary Lukas Phangcho and Matthew Engleng was among those who attended the observance.

arrested UNC president Gaidon Kamei along with its information and publicity secretary Sankhui Stephan from Pheidinga area along the Imphal-Mao section of NH-2 on Friday morning.

The two leaders have been remanded to police custody till December 8, police sources said.

Efforts were on to arrest other members of the UNC who have been charged with imposing the blockade on the national highways, Ibobi stated.

He said that not only against the UNC leaders but government will take action against those, including individuals, imposing indefinite economic blockade on national highways.

Singh maintained that the government has not taken up any security measures along the Imphal-Dimapur section of NH-2 as it might

cause harm to people who are “unwillingly” supporting the anti-social organizations due to fear.

He said that efforts were being made to procure essential goods through Imphal-Silchar via Jiribam section of NH-37 in consultation with the Centre.

On the other hand, the 24-hour total shutdown call given in protest against the arrest of UNC president and publicity secretary severely hit normal life across the Naga dominated four hill districts.

The shutdown paralyzed Naga dominated areas in Senapati, Tamenglong, Chandel and Ukhrul districts as all shops, business establishments, educational institutions, etc remained close for the day.

The streets across the district headquarters wore a deserted look as all kinds of vehicles including pri-

vate vehicles stayed off the road.

Reports from the district headquarters said that strike supporters took on the roads at various places and imposed the shutdown by catching fire and piling boulders on the roads.

No untoward incident was reported from any part of the districts during the shutdown hours.

A report from Mao said that a loaded truck stranded at Mao bazaar has left the town toward Kohima fearing attack by the strike supporters. Two trucks carrying electric transformers heading towards Imphal amidst the shutdown and blockade were prevented from proceeding further.

The UNC and other Naga based civil organizations have given the 24hour ‘total shutdown’ from Friday evening demanding the unconditional release of the two leaders.

A highly reliable official source said that police are framing charges against the two UNC leaders in the light of the Supreme Court’s directives regarding the blockades.

Chief minister O Ibobi said that following the interim order of the High Court of Manipur passed order Friday, state chief secretary and DGP and others have been directed to make arrangements to ensure the movement of the vehicles on the highways.

(PTI): Ace boxer and Rajya Sabha MP MC Mary Kom called on Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu today at his secretariat office here. The chief minister extended a warm welcome and greetings to Mary Kom, who was accompanied by husband Onler Kom, an official statement said. The five-time world boxing champion expressed her delight on her second visit to Arunachal.

“I am here because I love Arunachal. We are neighbours. We are brothers and sisters,” she said. Mary Kom, who came here to attend ‘Mrs Arunachal’ programme, also spoke about her struggle as a woman to become the world boxing champion. “Even my father didn’t approve of my career in boxing during initial days. I never gave up on my struggle. I knew what men can do, women too can do it,” she said.

In her appeal to women of Arunachal, Mary Kom insisted on standing up to fight for their own rights. “If we women do not support and help each other, who will support our cause?,” she asked.

FUNICH condemns arrest of Naga leaders D imap u r , N ov 2 6 (NPN): The Forum for Understanding the NagaIndia Conflict and Human Rights (FUNICH) has Saturday condemned Manipur Government’s discriminatory action towards the Naga people by arresting its tallest Naga civil apex body leader.

While stating that it was unfortunate that leaders were arrested for asserting the inherent indigenous peoples’ rights of the Naga people in Manipur, FUNICH in a statement issued by its convener Lakpachui Siro reminded the government that United Naga Council (UNC) president Gaidon Kamei represent the voice of all the Nagas whose areas fall within the State jurisdiction of Manipur on issue of land, Naga culture, tradition and customary law.

Manipur government clearly knows that the ongoing blockade in the hill districts is the direct result of government’s attempt to address issue of Sadar Hills and Jiribam disregarding previous Memorandum of Understanding between the Naga civil bodies and governments of India and the State, alleged FUNICH. “Rather than addressing the issue democratically, State government imprisoning the Naga leaders amount to State inability to address genuine concerns of the people inhabiting within the State jurisdiction. If at all the State government is serious on the issue, taking the confidence of all the stakeholders is expected. However, in the present case, the State government has completely ignored the voice of all the stakeholders,” the state-

ment read. FUNICH alleged that the State government actions to address the issue of Sardar Hill and Jiribam was nothing more than a political gimmick to come back to power in the State and further added that this was not the first time that the State government under Congress has played communal politics on the issue related to land when election is near. “It means that the State Government or the Congress Party is not serious at all to resolve the issue but rather using it for its own political mileage. It is very clear, that the State Government is playing with the emotion of the hill peoples as well the valley peoples by creating communal tension. The State Government instead of creating conducive environment for dialogue and discussion amongst

the stakeholders, it is busy creating social tensions amongst various ethnic communities with clear intention to come back to power,” alleged FUNICH statement.

FUNICH also trashed off State government justification that plan for Sadar Hill and Jiribam district creation was purely on administrative convenience.

No amount of excuses, therefore, would justify the action of State Government arresting leader of the most respected traditional social institution of the Nagas in the State, stated the forum. The forum, therefore, has appealed the State government and Centre for unconditional and immediate release of the Naga leader for lasting peaceful co-existence of various ethnic communities in the State.

Tura, Nov 26 (PTI): Militant groups and small criminal gangs operating in the Garo Hills region in Meghalaya have been hit the hardest following demonetisation, police said.

Suddenly there is an unusual silence and there is no report of any kind of kidnapping and extortion and this is all because of the demonetisation effect which has become a boon for small time traders, businessmen and even farmers, they said.

“It gave them no way to push the money back into the banking system given that deposits are being fully monitored by all teams, including Income Tax, police and the like. Militancy has been depressed by the sudden announcement of the prime minister,” said South Garo Hills (SGH) police chief, Anand Mishra.

South and East Garo Hills are both known as militancy hotbeds with the dense forest cover of Durama Hills providing natural shelter for them. The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) and ASAK groups are the most active in the region and have been at the heart of all militant activities in the region, though splinter groups have also done their bit.

It is widely suspected that more than 500 crores lies in the hands of militant groups, mostly with the GNLA “This is a body blow for them as they have to bring out the money they stashed meaning a fear of exposure.

We are also keeping a very close tab on amounts being deposited and have identi-

fied dozens of sympathisers and over ground workers of the group. Come January and we may fall short of jail space,” added SP Mishra.

Banks in all districts have been asked to provide information on suspicious deposits as was confirmed by banks when contacted.

M e e t i n g s b e t we e n police teams and banks have now become a regular feature to ensure that all attempts by militants to convert blood money is thwarted. “We had information of a huge amount of money being brought into the district but the scrutiny involved ensured they didn’t even get into the line. We have identified many sympathisers and are keeping a close tab,” said Mishra.

Recently a raid on the house of the GNLA chief, Sohan D Shira’s house saw 27 bank passbooks being seized and the accounts frozen. In another incident, three people were arrested while they were brining more than Rs 36 lakhs allegedly belonging to the GNLA for conversion.

“These passbooks belonged to family and relatives of Sohan and were to be used for conversion of hidden stash. We are keeping a very close watch on things,” said Davies NR Marak, Superintendent of Police, EGH. Police sources said militants are seeking “money mules” and approaching villagers, even through coercion to turn their money white through the use of their (villagers’) accounts.

85% rural households in Meghalaya gets toilet Shillong, Nov 26 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : P r i m e Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ message is spreading fast in the Meghalaya where about 85% of rural households have been covered under the Prime Minister’s pet project.

R.K Pandey, the nodal officer for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in the state, informed, “So far 3, 49,910 toilets have been constructed with a mission to eradicate the problem of open defecation.” Pandey, however, added that the toilets

The nodal officer stated, “Plans are on to construct 61,700 more toilets under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan scheme within the financial year of 2017-18.

The timely completion of the project depends on the availability of funds.”

Meghalaya targets to construct toilets for 4.11 lakh households under the scheme.

NERCORMP’s sales culminates with over Rs. 25 lakhs turnover

U K H RU L , N OV 2 5 : Amidst the current financial stress due to recent demonetization, the 10th Exhibition cum Sales of NERCORMP/UDCRMSIFAD Ukhrul drew to a close with a remarkable turnover of Rs. 25, 07, 810 here at TNL Ground on Friday.

Attending as chief guest at the closing ceremony, Ukhrul DC Pradip Chandren observed that the public is currently reeling under acute financial constraints owing to shortage of currency notes in the wake of recent demonetization.

He, however, commended the NERCORMP Ukhrul for successfully organizing the mega event in the interest of the local enterprises and agricultural community despite the prevailing grim scenario.

CJI and Law Minister differ over judges’ appointment

the government of India has no role to play. That is something only for the judiciary to take care.

“As far as infrastructure is concerned, that is a continuous process. Where the larger issue of appointment is concerned, there is a Supreme Court decision of making the Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) more transparent, objective, reasonable, fair and the government stand is pending for the last more than three months and we are yet to hear from the Supreme Court,” he said.

The CJI said that “manpower deficit” was also present in the tribunals which also faced the problem of lack of infrastructure leading to pendency of cases for five to seven years, apart from making apex court judges averse to heading such quasi-judicial bodies.

“State of affairs in the tribunals is giving me the

impression that you (tribunals) are no better. You are suffering from the same kind of deficit, manpower deficit.

You cannot set up a tribunal, you cannot set up a bench at so many places because there are no members.”

“If the total strength of this tribunal is 65 and if you have 18 or 20 vacancies then it means that you are short by a large number.

The working is going to be affected and that is why you have cases that are more than five years and seven years old,” he said adding “the least that you (government) must do is to ensure that these tribunals run with full strength.”

The CJI also said the tribunals “are not equipped and are lying empty and today a situation has come that no retired Supreme Court judge wants to head the Tribunal. I am pained to send my retired colleagues there”.

BJP paid in cash for land deals in Bihar: Media report PATNA, NOV 26 (IANS): The BJP’s political woes over its land deals in Bihar ahead of demonetisation aggravated on Saturday as a media report quoting official documents said the party purchased the land in cash, contrary to its leaders’ claims on Friday.

The Janata Dal-United and the Rashtriya Janata Dal reiterated their demand for high-level probes, including by a Joint Parliamentary Committee.

A local Hindi news channel on Saturday telecast a report that the BJP, which is in opposition in Bihar, paid cash to purchase land worth crores of rupees in 25 districts ahead of the November 8 demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.

The media report said it has got sale deeds of land from the registrar office concerned in several districts which mentioned payments in cash.

Till Friday, the BJP leaders -- including Leader of Opposition in Bihar assembly Prem Kumar

and former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi -- repeatedly said the payments were made through cheque and realtime gross settlement systems (RTGS) in banks.

Both Prem Kumar and Modi said the party did not commit any wrongdoing and that the land deals were transparent.

After the report on payments in cash, neither of the two BJP leaders was available for comment despite repeated attempts.

BJP legislator Sanjeev Chaurasia, BJP state Vice-President Lal Babu Prasad were among those authorised by BJP President Amit Shah to sign the land deal documents on the party’s behalf.

After claiming on Friday about payments through cheque and RTGS, both Chaurasia and Prasad too were unavailable for comments on Saturday.

JDU legislator and party spokesperson Neeraj Kumar told IANS that it is now clear that the BJP leaders “lied” on the land

deals and that the party used black money for the purchases. “Where is any chance of doubt after official documents of the sale deeds clearly mention that the landowners were paid in cash?”

JD-U leader said the documentar y evidence had exposed the BJP once again.

Neeraj Kumar said: “The BJP, which has been campaigning against black money and corruption, invested its own black money in crores by purchasing big land parcels in most districts of Bihar ahead of demonetisation. The BJP paid in cash for all these land deals. It should be probed by a Joint Parliamentary Committee or a high-level committee under the Supreme Court.”

RJD legislator Bhai Virendra reiterated his demand for a high-level probe into the land deals. “It is clear the BJP managed to park its black money by purchasing land worth crores of rupees ahead of the currency ban.”

Talking to Nagaland post, general surgeon, Dr. Chandra Shekar Joshi confirmed that a large number of patients were diagnosed with oral cancer caused by consumption of smokeless tobacco. He said the high number of cases also indicate that consumption of tobacco in Nagaland was also very high.

“As many as 95 per cent of the patients of all age group in this camp are found to be afflicted with complaints associated with eating Ghutka and smoking cigarettes. These are considered to be a first pre-cancer stage. If they continue to use Gutkha and cigarette, it would lead to major problem,” said an ENT surgeon Dr. Sanjay Ghildiyal, who conducted patients in the camp.

Dr Ghildiyal opined that consumption of tobacco was a cultural practice and way of life in North East. He said people need to be aware

of the consequences and felt that greater awareness was needed through social media including churches.

He appealed to those having heart problem to avail of facility for diagnosis and also screening test to detect early signs of cancer by gynaecologist, ENT specialist and physician.

Making an observation of the camp on the first day, cardiac surgeon Dr. Mushin Ansari from Hinduja hospital, Mumbai, and Dr. Sanjay Upreti from Medanta,Gurugram( Gurgoan), said that majority of those who attended were ignorant about health conditions as many of them had high blood pressure.

They felt there was very little awareness among people about non-communicable diseases.

The team has also appreciated Governor of Nagaland PB Acharya for taking up the task to organise the camp along with the vision of Dr. H. Palep Rotary

office and to divert people’s attention, the demonetisation decision was taken adding that the move will “boomerang”. She added that Modi says that he “left his family for the country which is a good thing”.

“But you cannot play with the interests of people,” she said as she accused the Centre of being “dictatorial” in its approach.

The BSP leader also said that nearly 100 people had died and the Centre has not extended any economic support to them.

She also accused the government of being dictatorial in its approach.

“How can a decision which has caused difficulties to 90 per cent of the people be in public interest,” she asked, adding people have been forced to stand in queues to get their own money. The former chief minister claimed that in UP the Congress is surviving on “oxygen support” while SP is an old friend of the BJP and not even openly opposing its policies.

PATNA, NOV 26 (PTI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said he has taken a principled stand on demonetisation as he is convinced that the step will help fight black money and laughed off reports of his meeting with BJP President Amit Shah as background to his support. “I support demonetisation as I’m convinced that it will help in the fight against black money,” Kumar said addressing a function to mark Prohibition Day here.

With political meaning being derived from his stand on demonetisation which is different from those of Congress, RJD and other nonBJP parties, Kumar said he has taken a principled stand as in his opinion scrapping of high value bank notes would help in diluting black money. “Is this the first time that I have taken a principled stand which might be politically different from others on an issue on which I’m convinced?” Kumar, who had reminded the media yesterday that he had supported Pranab Mukherjee for presidentship despite being a member of NDA. “Will those hoarding black money be able to deposit the entire volume in bank accounts? Reserve Bank could issue new notes against a quantity of black money which would not find way to banks during the current drive,” he said expressing views on demonetisation raging in national politics.

Fadnavis with the relatives of 26/11 victims in Mumbai, Saturday.

NEW DELHI, NOV 26 (PTI): Claiming that the Modi government has taken the demonetisation decision in a hurry with “hundred per cent” political interests of BJP in mind, BSP chief Mayawati today said it has caused difficulties to 90 per cent of the common people.

She also asked how a decision which has caused problems to 90 per cent of the people could be in interest of the nation.

“Now to prove that his wrong decision is correct, the Prime Minister is getting emotional and shedding tears. What is this if not blackmail,” she said.

Addressing a press conference here, Mayawati said since her party is the main challenge to BJP in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections, its leaders were making baseless statements against BSP. “There is no doubt that the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has in a hurry and without proper preparation demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. This immature decision has been taken 100 per cent because of their political interests which has caused havoc across the country,” she said.

Mayawati claimed the situation was like an “economic emergency which is condemnable”.

She said that since BJP government at the Centre could not fulfill even one fourth of its poll promises in its two and a half years in

26/11 terror attack: Tributes paid to martyrs the martyred personnel and survivors of the daring strike recalled the harrowing moments and pledged support to efforts to root out terrorism.

“I pay homage to the brave policemen who fought for Mumbai’s safety and laid down their lives for us on 26/11. We are proud of them and we will strive hard for safety and security of our state,” Fadnavis said paying homage at the 26/11 police memorial at the Mumbai Police Gymkhana.

Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, former Mumbai police commissioners Julio Ribeiro, M N Singh and several senior present and former police officers were present. On November 26, 2008, ten Pakistani terrorists arrived by sea route and opened fire indiscriminately at people killing 166, including 18 security personnel, and injuring several others, besides damaging property worth crores.

NEW DELHI, NOV 26 (AGENCIES): On the day India conducted a massive counter assault on Pakistani posts, in retaliation for the beheading of a soldier, Islamabad called New Delhi “pleading” it to stop, said defence minister Manohar Parrikar, ANI reported.

After Pakistan beheaded a soldier on Tuesday this week, India retaliated the next day blitzing Pakistani posts across the Line of Control (LoC) with heavy mortar. The Army hit the neighbour’s posts in Poonch, Rajouri, Kel and Machil sectors.

“Our response to their attacks was strong. Day before yesterday we got a call from them pleading us to stop the retaliation,” said Parrikar late yesterday at rally in Goa, according to ANI. Parrikar says he replied by reminding Islamabad that it was the one continuing to violate the ceasefire on the LoC. “We told them we don’t mind stopping as we are not interested in it, provided they too should stop... (and) for the last two days, the firing has stopped from across the border,” the minister added.

Tuesday’s atrocity by Pakistan-backed terrorists was the second such beheading in a month and was a gross violation of the Geneva Convention.

“Government is not ready to give proper facilities. Vacancy apart from infrastructure is a major concern for the Tribunal,” he added.

During the conference, the CJI said there was a need to amend the rules for appointment of chairpersons and members of various tribunals so that the judges of the high courts can also be eligible for the posts.

Speaking at the event, Prasad, who is also the Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, said that the CAT has been a unique experience even amongst the tribunals since it is a successful blend of judicial and administrative excellence.

He said CAT has rendered a “yeoman’s role in the evolution of service matters and framing of rules”.

He said that the rising number of appeals against CAT judgements before high courts and the Supreme Court compounds the problem of pending litigations, and suggested exploring the idea of intercourt appeal as an alternative.

Supreme Court judge Justice J Chelameswar said that lack of precision in the law and judicial rulings favouring both the rival parties are the prime reasons for the mounting arrears in servicerelated litigations.

NEW DELHI, NOV 26 (PTI): Differences between judiciary and government continued to be aired in the open with Chief Justice of India T S Thakur today saying there is shortage of judges in high courts and tribunals requiring government intervention, a view Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad strongly disagreed with.

“500 judges posts are vacant in the high courts.

They should be working today, but they are not. At present, there are several vacant courtrooms in India but no judges available. A large number of proposals are still pending and hope the government will intervene to end this crisis,” Justice Thakur said while addressing an All India Conference of Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).

Disagreeing with the CJI, the Law Minister said the government has made 120 appointments this year which was the second highest since 1990. The highest number of appointments of 121 were made in 2013, Prasad said.

“We respectfully disagree with him (CJI). This year we have made 120 appointments. The second highest of 121 is of 2013.

Since 1990 there have been only 80 appointments. 5,000 vacancies are there in the lower judiciary in which

Fading liberalism

onald Trump’s shocking win which confounded predictions of a Hillary landslide by the media , in the recently concluded US presidential election on November 8, 2016 heralds the fundamental shift in America, from liberalism to conservatism although there could be other factors that caused the paradigm shift. Donald Trump’s victory is the first seizing of political power by ultraright ideology, and is significant in many respects.

It shows that the American people, especially the middle and working class are tired of the establishment, its complacency in the face of fundamental threat to their civilization and have resolved to seek new engagement. This shift of paradigm is no doubt inextricably connected in many ways to recent happenings in international scene such as 9/11, the rise of militant Islam, Al Qaeda, and ISIS, the effects of drugs on American youths, immigration and the dwindling fortune of ordinary American among other issues. By the beginning of the 20th century, liberalism had become entrenched in Western soil, as to see its enemy as the enemy of all, thus Western Europe had moved fundamentally to democracy and open society. Fundamentally in the West, liberalism is associated with the strengthening of democracy, justice, free market, free movement, pluralism and multiculturalism. These fundamental concepts had evolved so much that the essence of American values which the early immigrants had reflected in the American constitution, have been greatly eroded. Europeans and Americans who hold on to the traditional values that had seen their countries prosper, today are angry that all that they have done to build their socio-economic structures are about to disintegrate under the weight of liberalism. The anger for the all this has been directed at the political elites, liberal media, rights activists and big business empires. The political pendulum is swinging towards the Far Right movements and parties across Europe and their growing popularity of Geert Wilder in Holland, Marine Le Pen in France and other far right parties in Britain, Hungary and other parts of Western Europe is a reaction against liberalism. Thus, liberalism has been rightly blamed for the devaluation of conservative ethos and its spread has also eventually brought the dangerous face of terrorism right at their doorsteps. The liberalism in the West allowed elements of these fringe groups to enter Europe and America, especially France and were allowed full liberty to indoctrinate impressionable minds on the need to destroy the West and their decadent civilization, this they must do in the name of Islam. The way it is, a Muslim may in the foreseeable future emerge British Prime Minister or leader of France. While the concern for the almost complete erosion of socio-cultural identities of Europe and America require a deep analysis yet there is also need for a cautious prescription. People swinging to the right could be a knee jerk reaction but the blame should be apportioned on liberalism among the mainstream media in both Europe and America. How far off track has the mainstream media been is history but unfortunately till today, almost 20 days after Trump’s electoral victory, the liberal media in both continents still don’t want to accept the verdict. Certainly, there is a need for the West to re-examine itself and do a fundamental soul-searching if its civilization is to survive.

DailyDevotion The Focal Point of Spiritual Power …except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ…

—Galatians 6:14 If you want to know the power of God (that is, the resurrection life of Jesus) in your human flesh, you must dwell on the tragedy of God. Break away from your personal concern over your own spiritual condition, and with a completely open spirit consider the tragedy of God. Instantly the power of God will be in you. “Look to Me…” (Isaiah 45:22). Pay attention to the external Source and the internal power will be there. We lose power because we don’t focus on the right thing. The effect of the Cross is salvation, sanctification, healing, etc., but we are not to preach any of these. We are to preach “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). The proclaiming of Jesus will do its own work.

Concentrate on God’s focal point in your preaching, and even if your listeners seem to pay it no attention, they will never be the same again. If I share my own words, they are of no more importance than your words are to me. But if we share the truth of God with one another, we will encounter it again and again. We have to focus on the great point of spiritual power— the Cross. If we stay in contact with that center of power, its energy is released in our lives. In holiness movements and spiritual experience meetings, the focus tends to be put not on the Cross of Christ but on the effects of the Cross.

The feebleness of the church is being criticized today, and the criticism is justified. One reason for the feebleness is that there has not been this focus on the true center of spiritual power. We have not dwelt enough on the tragedy of Calvary or on the meaning of redemption.

Post-mortem

My background & present Christmas : musings and hope I thought in Naga politics G od keeps me alive and in good health at the age of 95 years. I am in the age of exhorting the youngsters, guiding them to the truth, praying for them and rebuking them if there is wrong. I have to share my experiences and concern with the people with real love and sincerity.

ABOUT NAGA POLITICS In the beginning there was Naga Club and later it became Naga National Council. When Zapuphizo ( A.Z. Phizo ) became the President of NNC he pleaded for independence.

Rev. Longri Ao said that when some ones said that the Nagas should be in Indian Union Phizo cried like a child. The initiative of Phizo led the Nagas to the movement for full independence. He said that the Government of India offered Rs 10,000/- for his head.

Before the Federal Government was set up when I heard that the Head Quarter of NNC was at Khonoma villagefor the first time I made up my mind to go to that village to know about NNC and I went there. When I went to the village all suspected me to be a C.I.D. A man said “If you are a CID your whole head is your mouth.” Even at Kohima Town they were said to have told the people that I was a CID. After that I had a meeting with my village Rüsoma and my village decided to donate Rs 1000/- to NNC. When some of my villagers went to Khonoma with the donation the villagers were surprised and most of the elders who came to the meeting had apologized to me.

In 1953 – 55 there was a Naga High School with Lungshim Shaiza as the Principal and Vizol as the Vice – Principal. I too taught in lower section. During that time Co – operation was started by some leaders of NNC and I wrote a hand bill against it. I was arrested and was in jail for three months in 1956.

I was the President of Angami Tribal Council in 1958. In 1959 I was a delegate of Angami to the Naga People’s Convention meeting held at Mokokchung in which the historic 16 points Agreement was put to vote and I was the lone delegate who voted against it.

In 1963 when I was the Caretaker of War Graves Cemetery at Digboi under Samuel Mezhür I was insisted to be a

candidate of Northern Angami - II in Democratic Party. I was resolute not to contest but I could not escape and contested. But without canvassing not to speak of in other villages but even in my own village.

But the 12 Democratic Party MLAs had resigned en – masse in support of the peace talk between the GoI and the FGN in the same year.

Unexpectedly I joined Church Ministry in 1966. In 1974 I was the Secretary of the newly formed Nagaland Peace Council appointed by NBCC. We attempted to restore the abrogated Ceasefire between the GoI and FGN and met with the Nagaland Governor, Union Ministers and even Phizo but could not be successful.

Uncle Phizo in response to my letter he flew to Lausanne where we could have had ample time of discussion.

We told him that sooner or later the underground National Workers would be eliminated.

So the Nagas better accept the Peace Mission Proposal which said “ To accept the Union of India on their own volition.” He did not respond.

After that year I resigned the Secretaryship.

As a pre – emptive measure I wrote to several Federal and NNC leaders suggesting that the remnant underground men should come out individually to avoid surrendering of the FGN. Unfortunately the Shillong Accord was signed.

But I did not blame the Signatories.

After more than 30 years peace talk of the same level between the GoI and the FGN was resumed between the GoI and the NSCN ( I – M ) and since 1997 – 2016 the peace talk between the GoI and the NSCN has been going on without conclusion. It is clear that no Group is to blame another except to get together as one.

It is not logical or rational to blame one another.

Now NNC has several groups and NSCN also has several groups. The world knows it and the Government of India knows it better. So the more settlement is delayedthe worse will be for the Nagas and the better for the GoI. So tendency for delaying tactics cannot be ruled out.

Candidly speaking I personally have found that once NSCN ( I – M ) was misguided to excessiveness by their wrong concept “ Politics and humanity are different.” But next to Phizo Th. Muivah is the most

capable leader in the Naga National Movement. But I do not know why they have isolated themselves from the general public as if what they are doing are for themselves and not for the general public as a result there has been communication gap between them and the general public and it is a matter of fact that to a great extent the general public do not have sense of belonging.

In 1964 when a Secretary Gundevia and the Federal leaders had talk at Chedema Peace Camp the proceeding of every meeting was produced in cyclostyled paper. It made the general public to have sense of belonging and they were regarded as their real leaders.

But our NSCN leaders have been keeping everything for themselves in their talks with the GoI for nearly two decades.

The most important thing is to build up and to maintain public relationship but it is taken as secondary.

Regarding the Accord of Framework for settlement the substance under the cover of the accord is not made known to the people despite the general public are very eager to know. Even Rahul Gandhi said that blank cheque cannot be given remark. Whatever thing is done we have confidence that the spokesmen of the people have done it out of their best possible and capable effort. If I am opposed to it can I do better ? No need to be afraid of opposition for anything done out of sincere love for the people.

Sentiment of Tribalism, sectarianism and selfishness should not be allowed to prevail. We are not proud of our forefathers and mothers. We are not proud of our cultures.

We are not proud of our pioneer leaders. We are not proud of our past achievements if there is any. We are not proud of ourselves our families our organizations our villages our tribe ( once I was ). We are not proud of our race or community. We are not proud of our country and the world.

We are proud of our Creator God and Lord only. Our God alone is to be honoured and trusted and our heart should be fully yielded to Him. He only be given praises and glory. He only be feared and loved.

Our Creator alone is the Life. The flow of all good things from Him to be showered on our people should not be hampered by doing anything against His will.

Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi

Speech of Dr. Hokishe Yeptho at 9th unification day

(From previous issue) The Government of India could not cut the Nagas umbilical cord because it is something like Gordian knot full of intricacy and complex, even wisest man like R.N.Ravi, the interlocutor could not unloosed the knot.

The reason is not far to seek.

It is barely clear that Government of India could not find where to place Mr. Jack. He cannot be accommodated neither in Nagaland nor in Manipur state.

There is lots of controversy over the Thankuls and Meities. But according to Isak Chishi, Tangkhuls and Meities are brothers.

Isak Chishi in his booklet “The Origin and Migration of Nagas” page 14 para 2 clearly stated let me quote “recently, the Maharaja of Manipur has admitted and declared that the Meities and Tangkhuls are brothers.

This is historical fact.” Let me not go further. The matter is left to you to introspect yourself.

The Nagas of Nagaland tribes of all walks of life need to join our hands

together to forge out some viable solution for the Nagas of Nagaland. Secondly, all the underground like-minded factions should unite together to start negotiation with the Government of India collectively winning the confidence and with the approval from Nagas of Nagaland forums. There is no complexity to solve Nagas of Nagaland problem, if the Government of India has political will. At one stretch we may not achieve our destiny, therefore let us respite for some time and stride step by step till we reach our goal. At this present political juncture, we should try to solve some sorts of Interim arrangement for the Nagas of Nagaland, where we can strengthen our limbs to furtherance our goal. God will grant us whatever we asked for, but He will certainly give us what we really deserve and not what we don’t. Let us try what is possible and not what is impossible and the possibility is only for the Nagas of Nagaland There is rumour spread all around Nagaland that the

3rd August, 2015 framework was signed by Shri. Isak Chishi. But personally, I believed and trust Shri. Isak Chishi will not sign on such a document. Supposedly, if signed on framework as rumour spread, I as one of the senior citizens of Sumi we will not accept it. Because, of 3rd August, he was in Fortes Hospital in ICU ward laying unconsciously and when a man is forced to sign on such a document with unsound mind and unconsciously, it is illegal and Sumis are not accountable for the same.

Finally, FBR (Forum for Nagas Reconciliation) has got to answer to the Naga public, what was the result of their faithful service for the Nagas, for the last 9 years. Let us know what are the reasons of their failure or success was. And to where they have landed.

With this I conclude my speech. Kuknalim. Long live Nagaland.

(Concluded) Dr. Hokishe Yeptho, former Sumi Hoho president

can still hear the Christmas music playing from the tape recorders as I close my eyes and rewind the clock to my childhood days in Kohima. How I wish I could teleport myself back and experience again the innocent joy of anticipating Christmas along with my family, friends and in fact, the whole colony together in one accord.

By mid-November, the spirit of Christmas would be in the air – a most contagious spirit – and the moment a particular house would stop playing the beautiful Christmas music, almost immediately, another house would start… it was a spontaneous reaction because there was no room for silence in this joyous celebration of the birth of our King!

As children, we could barely contain our excitement as there would be various kinds of Christmas-related competitions among the colonies. The whole atmosphere was charged with the pulsating heart of Christmas… decorations and carols were simply the icing in the cake; we were genuinely waiting for the moment we would welcome and honour the new born King once again.

It is due to the amazing grace of God that all the children would wait wholeheartedly for Jesus even though we had yet to experience a deeply rooted personal relationship with Him. There are many instances when I find myself longing to turn back the sands of time. But as we all know, wishful thinking will get us nowhere. The day we have at hand today is a gift, which is why it is also called the ‘present.’ This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! It is true that we cannot bring back the past, but we can definitely influence the present. Our celebrations should be directly proportional to the progress in years because we are getting closer to the second coming of our King!

It is disheartening to see a more superficial celebration of Christmas these days.December is supposed to be celebrated as the month of the birthday of Christ when all the Christians celebrate it joyously together across the globe. This is the time of the year when families finally get to meet up after the busy year of work and studies. We meet friends after years and months; everywhere there is joy and happiness in the atmosphere. There are countless stories to be told, so many gatherings and picnics and merry-making occur. On the other hand, if we ponder about it seriously, December is also the month when so many accidents ensue; so many people give in to the lures of the world, and there is a heightened activity of sin. It is crucial that we recognize the symptoms of the enemy’s attack on our spirituality, under guise

of the festivities.

Many Christians either turn a blind eye or are blissfully ignorant that specially in the month of December, many of us inadvertently attempt to blend Christianity with pagan practises such as consumption of alcohol, immoral activities, late night parties, and so on and so forth.

Non-believers who live among us mock us that in the name of Christmas, many Christians indulge in unhealthy and sinful acts – which is contradictory to what we preach – during December.

Most of the youth look forward to Christmas season as an excuse to consume more intoxicating substances. It is quite astonishing that many parents become more lax in disciplining their children and hence give them more freedom during Christmas season; this is when many young ones are led astray by bad company as they taste forbidden substances for the first time, which consequently turn into habits and addictions over time.

How our Saviour must grieve when He sees that the number of late night drinking parties increase in leaps and bounds on the eve of Christmas and New Year.

Instead of prayerfully anticipating the birth of baby Jesus and awaiting the gift of yet another year, many people stay up all night for all the wrong reasons.

Most of the churches and fellowships emphasize on spending some time every year to elucidate the significance of the topic ‘What Christmas means to me.’ This sharing is included for good reason; every Christian should be aware of the real value of Christmas. Once we are armed with this knowledge, we are called to follow and bear good fruit akin to seeds which fall on good soil.

As we have arrived on the threshold of the month of December, let us challenge ourselves to make this Christmas season of 2016 one that is both pleasing and acceptable to our Lord. Actions always speak louder than words; our behaviour is leaving an imprint on the lives of all the nonbelievers in our vicinity. Should we not go forth as messengers of goodwill in spreading the true spirit of Christmas and bringing them to Christ? Let us not deny the responsibility entrusted to us as children of the light. The battle cry has already been sounded by the enemy camp; it is now our turn to lift the banners high and clothe ourselves with the armour of God. When we emerge victorious in Christ, we can also happily bring our gifts of love to the new born King. Just as the three wise men honoured baby Jesus more than two thousand years ago, our gold, frankincense and myrrh will be contained in the souls we have won for Christ!

Reader’s Post

To the Director Social Welfare Kohima

Sir,

We the undersigned on behalf of the Jalukie Block and Athibung Block have the honor to lay down few lines for favor of your kind consideration and necessary action.

That sir, the department of Social Welfare has initiated to convert the old age pension bank account to be linked with adhaar card for the beneficiary under Jalukie and Athibung block. The Jalukie block and Athibung block had a thorough discussion on the matter and has concluded as not viable. The majority of the beneficiaries of old age people reside in the interior villages of the area and some villages has no vehicular link to the Town. Therefore, we appeal to the department of social welfare to consider our case on top priority and request, the system of the old age pension to remain as it is for the interest of beneficiaries in particular and the public in general.

Sir,

The reservation conundrum (so far)

Independent MLA N Thomas Ngullie staging a walk out before passing of the motion for revoking the resolution passed by the assembly on September 22, 2012, exempting Nagaland from the application of Article 243(T), Part IX A of the Constitution, saying that the government should have taken the issue to the people cannot be farther from the truth. Mr Thomas boldness and unwavering conviction to stand up on behalf of the people and the various Tribal Hoho’s stand against the 33% quota for women in the upcoming municipal elections can be seen as a feat in itself- such an act by a lone MLA being a rarity in the annals of the Assembly’s history.

And if the past has taught us one thing let it be known that for whatsoever reason or excuse the CM’s entourage might cook up targeting the lone MLA for his brazen act of standing up against the whimsical attitude of the govt, the cause and intent cannot be swept under the rug. Despite the resentment of the various Hoho’s against the proposed quota policy, the manner in which the decision to revoke the resolution can only be seen as arbitrary and self motivated.

Left parties take out rally to mourn Castro’s death ‘Castro an inspirational figure for Kerala’s communists’

Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro was a source of inspiration for the Left parties in Kerala, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, CPI leader and former state minister Binoy Viswom said today.

When the world witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern socialist group of nations in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Left parties and their sympathisers in the state had looked up to Castro as a “symbol of enduring socialist ideals”, he said.

Former Cuban president and iconic communist leader Castro died in Havana last night at the age of 90.

Viswom said the victory of the Cuban revolution, led by Castro, had inspired millions of people in Kerala, more so after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“He was a symbol of the anti-imperialist movement. The victory of the Cuban revolution in 1959, two years after the first communist government came to power in Kerala through the ballots, had

inspired millions of communists and party sympathisers in the state,” he added.

“Moreover, Castro had sharpened the nonaligned movement with an anti-imperialist spearhead,” Viswom told PTI. Noted Malayalam poet Karivellur Murali, who wrote the award winning play ‘Che Guevara’, said the collapse of the Soviet Union had demoralised the communists in Kerala.

Guevara was an Argentine revolutionar y leader who was Castro’s chief lieutenant during the Cuban revolution.

“Castro stood as a lighthouse of hope for leftists and communists in the state after the collapse of the Soviet Union and communist bloc,” Murali told PTI. He said Castro’s demise came exactly 60 years after the Cuban leader, along with Guevara, Raul Castro and other revolutionaries, had begun his voyage from a Mexican port on a yacht called ‘Granma’ to Cuba to fight against the administration of General Batista.

“It was after the midnight of 25 November 1956, the 82 revolutionaries had started their voyage on the yacht to Cuba. Incidentally, the great leader of revolution died on November 25, Friday evening,” said Murali, who has researched extensively on the Cuban revolutionaries.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 6 (NPN): In line with the stand taken by the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC), the Lotha Baptist Ekhümkho Sanrhyutsü (LBES) on Saturday said it stood opposed to the introduction of Uniform Civil Code (UCC).

In a press release, LBES executive secretary, Rev. Nyanchumo Lotha, expressed serious concern over the Centre’s move to introduce UCC and appealed to the chairman, Law Commission of India to “sincerely represent” the ‘voice of the people’ to the Government of India.

LBES said it has carefully considered the provisions of the proposed bill and had come to the conclusion that the introduction of the bill was likely to infringe the social, cultural and religious rights of the minorities in India, which it maintained would “ultimately destroy the very secular fabric of the Constitution of India.”

Meanwhile, LBES executive secretary has appealed to all the right thinking citizens of India, especially the minority communities in India, to come forward and voice their opposition to the introduction of the bill.

People will loot banks if situation does not improve, warns NCP MP Sangli (Maharashtra), Nov 26 (IANS): Strongly criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over demonetisation, NCP MP Udayanraje Bhosale on Saturday warned that “people will loot and destroy banks” if the situation did not improve soon.

Bhosale, a descendent of Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji and a Nationalist Congress Party MP from Satara, said: “You are asking people to wait for 50 days! What 50 days? Why should they wait to withdraw their own hard earned money for so long? If matters worsen, there will be jungle raj. People will not hesitate to plunder banks.”

Krishna Menon speaking on behalf of resource persons expressed his happiness over the cohesive and disciplined attitude of the NCS & NSS officers throughout their training.

He also appreciated the hospitality of the Naga people in general and the ATI faculty in particular saying “five days spent at ATI were the most interesting times of my life.”

DIMAPUR: Two-day training on ‘Consumer Rights’ conducted by Administrative Training Institute (ATI) concluded on November 25.

Speaking on the occasion, Savi extended gratitude to ATI for conducting the training which, he said, was important to create awareness amongst the citizens and even this topic was chosen at the right time- festive season when price of commodities tend to rise. “It is very important for every citizen as a ‘Consumer’ to know their rights and duties so as to protect themselves from all the unscrupulous traders,” he stated. Savi also highlighted several topics/legal provisions which concern

DIMAPUR: Angami Catholic Youth Association (ACYA) Year 2017 Plan Drafting was held at Catholic Association of Nagaland, Conference Hall, Kohima on November 26.

It therefore appealed to the district administration and concerned authority to take immediate measures so as to control and do away with the shortcomings of proper practices such as selling expired medicine, substandard, running the business without license and also without registered concer ned, recr uiting salesman, etc.

Further, NVCO has also questioned the state government particularly the concerned authority as to why the existing strength of 490 pharmacists (posts) had to be slashed down to 309 posts while there was shortage of pharmacists even in government health centres such as Primary Health Centre and SubCentre.

“Without pharmacists where is the security of health care when the legal person who is solely handling medicine is not placed at the health care centres and this is also in contrary to National Health Policy 2015?,” NVCO questioned.

He infor med that much of the daily food items including medicine were unsafe and as a case in point shared how a patient suffered after consuming expired pill bought from a chemist in Kohima in September last and another incident where a pharmacy owner was arrested in Kohima this month for running shop without proper qualification.

In this regard, NVCO has reacted to the news “drawing the attention to pharmacists without knowledge of medicine” published in local dailies saying, “without having knowledge of medicine is not to refer to ‘Pharmacists’ but the owner of New S.T. Pharmacy who was running and selling medicine having no knowledge of medicine and even does not possess any requisite qualification on pharmacy such as degree/diploma/ certificate and he had also admitted before the police that he is just learning by running and selling medicine by himself.” NVCO maintained that the role of Pharmacist is very impor-

KO L K ATA / KO C H I , NOV 26 (PTI): The Left parties in West Bengal today took out a rally here and decided to fly the red flag at half mast for three days at their respective offices across the state as a mark of respect to Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Led by Left Front chairman Biman Bose and CPI(M) state secretary Surya Kanta Mishra, 18 Left parties, including the CPI, CPI(M), All India Forward Bloc, RSP, Communist Party of IndiaMarxist Leninist (Liberation), took out the rally from the Lenin statue at Esplanade to Ram Lila Maidan at Entally in central Kolkata.

Condoling the demise of the legendary communist leader, Mishra said, “Fidel Castro will continue to inspire all struggles for social transformation through revolution. He will inspire generations.

We salute the relentless fighter.”

Cuba’s former president and communist icon Castro, who led a rebel army to an improbable victory in his country, died last night in Havana at the age of 90.

Once a Left citadel, Bengal and Castro shared a bond as the Cuban had a stopover at the city airport while returning from Hanoi on his way to Cuba in September, 1973.

He was received by the then top communist leaders of Bengal, Jyoti Basu and Promode Das-

Offering a word of caution against the temptation of going abroad for printing of notes to beat the crisis, Biswas said it will open avenues for pilferage of currency printing technology. “There are opinions coming up in public debate that we should get the currency printed abroad. Given the circumstances one may think this is the need of the hour. But it will open up avenues for further printing of counterfeit notes,” he said.

New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI): The government is not considering any proposal to restrict holding of gold by individuals, a top finance ministry source said.

Following the demonetisation of notes in a bid to crack down on black money, there were apprehensions among people that the government might impose some kind of restrictions on gold holding by individuals. “There is no such proposal before the government on restricting domestic gold holding,” the source said. The government had earlier denied that there was any move to digitise personal lockers in banks amid rumours in social media that they would be opened only in the presence of revenue officials.

Apart from urban areas, banks will increase and sustain their focus on semi-urban and rural areas.

Biswas had earlier said that it would take at least four to five months to print sufficient currency to replace around 22 billion demonetised notes even if all currency printing presses operate at their maximum capacity.

This outreach would be backed up by an advertising campaign from Indian Bankers Association (IBA), including demonstration videos on how to use cards and other modes for cashless transactions.

As the rush at bank branches is now easing, banks will restart normal lending activities and in particular Mudra loans.

These would help meet restocking requirements of enterprises by way of working capital delivered through Mudra cards.

Sowing season for Rabi and crops like potato is currently underway in many states. Necessary resources for the purpose have been provided by NABARD and daily releases to DCCBs (district co-operative banks) are a focus area of monitoring.

With these and other steps already underway, there is a clear path towards more digital transactions by all citizens. This will serve the larger objective of making banking activity easier and achieving the goal of financial inclusion that the government is committed to, Jaitley said.

New Delhi, Nov 26 (IANS): Demonetisation of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes may turn out to be a “futile exercise” to target black money and counterfeit currency, says Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI) General Secretary Pradip Biswas.

“The proportion of counterfeit notes is only 0.028 per cent of the total currency in circulation according to Indian Statistical Institute. And the proportion of black money in liquid cash is less than 10 per cent,” Biswas told IANS in a telephone conversation. “This (demonetisation) is not the way to target black money and counterfeit currency,” he added. Biswas said since over 86 per cent of the total physical currency in the country is covered

New Delhi, Nov 26 (Agencies): Union finance minister Arun Jaitley today held a video conferencing with banks calling for major push to cashless transactions through alternate banking channels such as NEFT, mobile wallets, pre-paid cards, QR codes, pay-roll cards, debit and credit cards and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) among others.

With banks facing the cash crunch, it is time to now focus on stepping up the push towards cashless transactions, Jaitley said.

The finance minister emphasised that physical currency must shrink while the economy should expand, shifting more and more focus to digital currency. He said that one of the major objectives of withdrawal of legal tender status on Rs500 and Rs1,000 notes was to move the Indian economy further towards digital transactions.

Wisconsin preps for vote recount; Obama administration backs results

Wisconsin/washi n g t o n , NO V 2 6 (Agencies): Officials in Wisconsin are preparing to conduct a full recount of the votes from the US election in the state, which was narrowly won by Donald Trump. A formal request for the recount was filed by the Green Party’s Jill Stein. Dr Stein, the Green Party’s candidate, has also pledged to file for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The result would need to be overturned in all three states to change the outcome of the election, something analysts say is highly unlikely.

Dr Jill Stein reportedly wants to make sure computer hackers did not skew the poll in favour of Trump. In statement, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said it had received two recount petitions from the Jill Stein campaign and from Rocky Roque De La Fuente, a businessman who ran unsuccessfully to be the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

“The Commission is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States, as requested by these candidates,” said

Nagaland Post, Dimapur sunday, November 27, 2016

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

Wisconsin election commission administrator Michael Haas. He said the recount would begin in the week after Dr Stein’s campaign has paid the fee, which the commission was still calculating.

Dr Stein’s campaign needs to raise millions of dollars to cover the fees for the vote recount in all three states. Dr Jill’s website says nearly $5.3m (£4.2m) has already been raised toward a $7m target. It says this is enough to fund the recounts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Concerns over possible Russian interference had been expressed in the run-up to the vote.

Voting rights lawyers who urged candidates to request recounts, John Bonifaz and J Alex Halderman,

have said the results need to be closely analysed.

However, the fact that the results in the three states was different from what polls predicted was “probably not” down to hacking, Halderman said.

“The only way to know whether a cyber-attack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidence ,” he wrote. Hillary Clinton has not demanded a recount of the election results, despite calls from some experts for her to do so. The deadline for the petition for the recount in Wisconsin was Friday, while Pennsylvania’s deadline is Monday, and Michigan’s is Wednesday. Wisconsin provides only 10 votes in the crucial electoral college that gave

Trump victory in the 8 November election.

Wins there for Clinton, as well as in Michigan (16 electoral votes) and Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), would have clinched the presidency for the Democrat.

US officials have said there was no evidence of election tampering in the three states where Republican candidate Donald Trump had razor-thin victories over his Democratic rival. Trump’s camp has made no public comments on the recounts issue.

Trump won 290 electoral votes in the November election, while Clinton had 232 votes. Michigan is yet to declare final results.

Obama administration backs election results Meanwhile the Obama Administration has said it stands behind US presidential election results as they “accurately reflect the will of the American people” and believes the polls were free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective.

The defense of the US elections from the Obama Administration came amidst hacking fears

and allegations of hacking from Russia.

“The Kremlin probably expected that publicity surrounding the disclosures that followed the Russian Governmentdirected compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organisations, would raise questions about the integrity of the election process that could have undermined the legitimacy of the Presidentelect,” a senior administration official said.

“Never theless, we stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people,” the official said in response to a question. According to the official, the Federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting the US electoral process on election day.

“As we have noted before, we remained confident in the overall integrity of electoral infrastructure, a confidence that was borne out on election. As a result, we believe our elections were free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective,” the official said.

South Korea sees largest protests against President Park SEOUL, NOV 26 (Agencies): Hundreds of thousands have rallied in South Korea for what is thought to be the largest protests so far demanding President Park Geun-hye steps down.

Ms Park is accused of allowing her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to manipulate power from behind the scenes.

The president has apologised twice on national television, but has so far resisted calls to resign.

Organisers said 800,000 had gathered in the centre of the capital Seoul alone by Saturday evening.

They estimate 1.5 million will join by the end of the night, with 500,000 to turn out in other regions.

About 25,000 police are being deployed in the capital, local media report.

The protests, which began five weeks ago, are the largest in South Korea since pro-democracy demonstrations of the 1980s.

Those attending on Saturday came from a crosssection of South Korean society, with farmers, Buddhist monks and university students all involved.

General Hayat was serving as chief of general staff (CGS) prior to his present appointment. He was the senior most General amongst the four contenders for the army chief post.

General Hayat also served with the SPD - the wing that oversees the country’s nuclear programme.

“On the advice of Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, President Mamnoon Hussain has approved the promotion of Lieutenant General Zubair Mehmood

Hayat and Lieutenant General Qamar Javed Bajwa,” the prime minister’s office said.

Commenting on the appointment of General Bajwa, defence analyst Retired General Talat Masood said, “The selection has been entirely on merit and the choice has been made in the best way possible.”

Analyst Retired Brigadier Mahmood Shah said that the choice for prime minister Nawaz Sharif must have been a very difficult one. “At the end of the day I think merit has been kept in mind.”

The appointment of Bajwa is expected to help reset fraught relations between the military and the civilian government in a nuclear-armed nation of 190 million people.

The army chief is arguably the most powerful person in Pakistan, with the military having ruled the country for more than half its 69-year history since independence from Britain.

The seminar gave the opportunity to all the different stake-holders and the department to interact closely with one another and put across suggestions and opinions for the betterment of the system in the larger interest of the beneficiaries in particular and the public in general. Under NFSA the department could cover 2,85,220 households, benefiting 14,05,956 beneficiaries with 5 kgs. of Rice per head at the rate of Rs. 3 per kg. since July, 2016 starting with Kohima and Dimapur districts followed by the remaining districts the subsequent month (Aug, 2016).

While acknowledging the initiative taken up by the Pathfinders the department would also like to suggest if such awareness programme could be taken up to higher level covering the entire state and different departments involved with NFSA so that information relating to the Act can be disseminated to the entire population of the state.

PARIS, NOV 26 (Agencies): Four long-time friends in their 30s, living in the same French city and communicating through a closed phone line, were planning a terror attack in France as early as next week on orders from an Islamic State group member in Iraq or Syria, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Friday.

The ‘commando’ of four arrested on Sunday in the eastern city of Strasbourg plotted to carry out an attack on Dec. 1, but investigators have not yet determined ``the specific chosen target among all those considered by the group,’’ Molins said.

A fifth suspect was arrested in the southern city of Marseille at the same time as the Strasbourg suspects. Molins told reporters that suspect was not in direct touch with the other four, but was ‘given guidance remotely’ from the same IS member.

The prosecutor didn’t name any targets, but security was tightened this week at the Paris headquarters of France’s criminal investigations police, reportedly among the locations studied. French President Francois Hollande said a ``large-scale attack’’ was thwarted.

These new cells are thought to help restore function to areas of the brain damaged by the stroke.

The use of IL-1Ra not only limits the initial damage to brain cells, but also helps the brain repair itself long-term through the generation of new brain cells, the researchers said.

Previous studies showed the treatment with IL-1Ra does indeed help rodents regain motor skills that were initially lost after a stroke.

Tens of thousands of police are deployed, with the full panoply of anti-riot gear.

The question is whether the more militant elements will disperse or try to get to the presidential palace.

Ms Park, whose approval rating has dropped to 5%, apologised earlier this month for putting “too much faith in a personal relationship”, and has pledged to co-operate in an official investigation into the scandal.

South Korea’s constitution does not allow a sitting president to be prosecuted, and Ms Park has 15 months left in her term.

But now that prosecutors have directly linked her to the scandal, it is possible she could be impeached for breaking the law.

Apart from the corruption allegations, she has become the focus of discontent over the economy. Farmers, for example, spilled sacks of rice on the road in protest at low rice prices.

Courts have permitted demonstrations up to 200 metres from the presidential palace but only before nightfall.

Islamabad, NOV 26 (Agencies): Pakistan’s prime minister on Saturday picked Lieutenant General Qamar Javed Bajwa to replace outgoing army chief Raheel Sharif, a popular military leader credited for improving security and driving back Islamist militant groups, his spokesman said.

General Bajwa will likely take charge of the world’s sixth-largest army by troop numbers in a formal handover on Tuesday, when General Sharif formally retires.

General Bajwa was serving as Inspector General for training and evaluation prior to his appointment to the new position, a position Gen Raheel Sharif held before becoming army chief. Bajwa also served as commander for the 10 Corps, seen as the army’s most elite corps.

General Zubair Hayat has been appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.

Farmers were among those to join the protests against president Park Geun-hye.

Defiant Bairstow leads England recovery

Chennai’s physically imposing strikers Dudu and Succi wanted the balls to be played to their bodies.

It was the big men of the home side who had the first laugh. Standing captain Mehrajuddin Wadoo found space in the right flank and his cross was met with a firm header from Dudu to open the scoring in the 34th minute.

The lead did not last long though. Velez and Alfaro had been causing difficulties for the Chennaiyin defenders and in the 38th minute the former created some space using his quickfeet, right outside the box, to unleash a thundering shot that keeper Karanjit Singh could only watch and admire.

But there was to be more drama in the first half. Needing nothing short of a win to stay in the competition, Materazzi’s men pushed hard and found an equaliser in the 46th minute. Full back Jerry Lalrinzuala made a darting run on the left flank before putting in a low cross for

Ko h i m a , N ov. 2 6 (NPN): Defending champion Barak FC moved into the final of Classic Cup 2016 after defeating Head Hunter with three second-half goals on Saturday. The ongoing tournament is being organised by Classic Cup at Kohima local ground.

In the goalless first half, both teams displayed skills and also enjoyed equal ball possession. Players from both teams also failed to utilize the opportunities that came their way on several occasions.

Barak FC nearly took the lead had it not been for the Head Hunter keeper.

NZ beat India 3-2 in four-nation hockey MELBOURNE, Nov 26 (PTI): Indian men’s hockey team lost 2-3 to New Zealand in a hard fought encounter to crash out of the title clash at the four-nation Invitational Tournament, here on Saturday.

The loss means India will now play Malaysia for the third-fourth place classification match on Sunday.

India’s both goals came from the sticks of dragflicker Rupinder Pal Singh (18th minute and 57th).

The Indians started on an attacking note and had the better share of the possession in the first quarter.

In the first 15 minutes, India penetrated the opponent

circle many a times but failed to get a clear shot at the goal. In fact, it was New Zealand who came closest when a Nick Ross reverse hit from the top of the box was kept away by an alert Akash Chikte in front of the Indian goal.

India’s best opportunity in the first quarter came from a penalty corner but Rupinder’s flick was cleared

by Black Sticks captain Shea McAleese.

The Indians picked up the pace in the second quarter and pressed hard.

The move paid dividends in the 18th minute when Akashdeep Singh earned a penalty which was

duly converted into a goal

by Rupinder. Despite repeated efforts from both the sides, the scoreline remain unchanged as India went into halftime with a one goal cushion.

After the change of ends, New Zealand had the first shot at the goal but once again Chikte came to India’s rescue to deny Matt ReesGibbs at the far post.

Nikkin Thimmaiah then shot high from top of the box, after a superb bit of improvisation.

The final quarter was action packed as New Zealand hit back with two quick goals, first by Nick Ross in the 47th minute before Jacob

Smith gave them the lead in the next minute.

Trailing for the first time in the game, India went all out attacking and in the process left gaps in their backline which New Zealand exploited to extend their lead through Hugo Inglis’ strike in the 57th minute.

Rupinder, however, pulled one back with a penalty corner conversion almost from the restart to take goals tally to five in the tournament. In the final minutes, India created several opportunities to draw level but New Zealand did enough to hold on to the lead.
