Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): Expressing concern over the mushrooming number of insurgent groups in the region and the apparent lack of clear and consistent policy towards addressing the issue, Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya sent across a strong message to policymakers and stakeholders saying “we have to address the reasons of insurgency rather than the result of it”.

He said the aspiration for peace amongst Nagas could be achieved only through unity.

Acharya was speaking as chief guest at the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission cum inter cultural exchange programme’ organised by the Tribal Union Chumukedima Town (TUCT) here at Chumukedima Local ground on Friday.

“Unless we are united, we cannot march ahead,” the governor asserted. To emphasise his assertion, Acharya pointed out that successive dynasties, including the British Empire, managed to rule the India for centuries because India was divided.

The governor also highlighted the lack of three ‘E’s in Nagaland-- Education, Electricity, and Employment- which,

NSF urges gov for appointment of VC DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has appealed to Nagaland Governor & chief rector of Nagaland University to initiate the appointment of the Vice Chancellor (VC) at the earliest in the greater interest of the students’ community.

he said, were indispensible for development of any area.

After witnessing the cultural presentations at the function, Acharya praised the performers and remarked that Nagaland has a rich and diverse culture. He said losing one’s culture would mean losing our identity. Acharya also appealed all to preserve and promote one’s own dialect, adding it was dangerous and suicidal to make our dialect secondary.

In his concluding remark, Acharya lauded TUCT’s effort towards fostering unity in the area which is home to diverse tribes and communities.

Earlier, Acharya inaugurated the newly constructed toilets at Govt Middle School, Chumukedima. He also announced five awards for residents of Chumukedima in various fields. Best Social Worker Award, Best Entrepreneur, Best Student (one male and female), Best Swachh Bharat

(one male and female), and Best Result (one male and female). Winners of ‘Best Student’ would go on a 3-day trip to Mumbai sponsored by Indian National Fellowship Centre, Mumbai.

Also speaking on the occasion, guest of honour EAC Chumukedima, Thungbemo Patton, urged upon the gathering to take positive approach towards bringing changes in the society. Referring to the negativity and ‘isms’ that exists within the Naga society, he said a society cannot progress unless people start appreciating others rather than being critical and negative. Thungbemo also called for a concerted effort towards developing Chumukedima ,which he said, could be the “future city” of Nagaland.

Further, the EAC announced the Town will undergo “intensive and extensive” Swachh Bharat Mission exercise in November and December 2016. He also announced Rs.1 lakh award for the Best Ward.

TUCT president, Neisalie Losou, in his welcome address expressed hope that Nagas can be brought together through such cultural exchange programmes.

The function saw various cultural presentations, traditional dance, folk songs, and indigenous games of different tribes. The only orphanage in Chumukedima, Galilee Home for Children, also presented a special song. The programme

culminated with vote of thanks by co-convenor, Bendangchuba and closing prayer by president Chumukedima Town Pastors Fellowship, Rev. Manen Lkr. Earlier, students of the 23 schools in Chumukedima conducted cleanliness drive in the area.

Highlights of the programme included Naga traditional attire show by CTSU & CMD Town Youth Organisation, Traditional dance of Sangtam, Zeliangrong, Kenyan, Yimchunger, Sumi, Chang, Lotha and Pochury, folk song

by Angami, Ao, Chakhesang, Mao, Pochury and Phom and indigenous games by Ao, Rengma, Khiamniungan and Kuki.

Kohima, Oct 14 (NPN): Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Kohima urban office became the first to launch computerised water billing system in the state after it was formally inaugurated by chief engineer PHED Er. Kevisekho Kruse.

Speaking at the launching programme, Kruse termed the occasion as a proud moment for the PHED as the system became operational from Friday.

At a time when the department was struggling to carry the revenue collection through the conventional manual method of billing, chief engineer said that the introduction of computerised system would help the department in many ways.

With the introduction of the new system, he said manual errors would also be avoided. Kruse also appreciated executive engineer PHED Urban division Kohima, Er. Vikeduolie , SDO Er. Nirie Nisa, officials and the firm Ely-

sium Enterprise Nagaland for putting more effort and commitment in making the project successful. He said that the system was the long felt need of the department.

Kruse said the department was also working to open up more payment counters involving the services of the banks in the state capital for the conveniences of the consumers. Chief engineer informed that such more computerized billing system would soon be introduced in other parts of the state. At present, the department is catering to the water supply requirements of 6072 domestic consumers and 12 commercial consumers in Kohima, the chief engineer said.

Further, Kruse appealed to the consumers to extend cooperation to the department by way of paying water tax on time and not to tamper the water supply assets when the department was working for the betterment of public service.

The chief engineer disclosed that Zarü water supply was expected to be commissioned within this financial (Cont’d on p-7) year.

DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): A nine-member delegation comprising of Naga Hoho executives, presidents and colleagues of Angami Public Organization (APO) and Chakhesang Public Organization (CPO) called on chief minister T.R. Zeliang to press upon the state government to re-examine the issues pertaining to Municipal Act of 2001 and recognition of Rongmei tribe.

Informing this in a press note, NH communication cell said that the Naga Hoho also submitted two representations with regards to Rongmei tribe recognition and amendment of Municipal Act 2001.

At the three-hour long meeting various issues were also deliberated apart from Municipal and Rongmei issue, NH stated. As the meeting was fruitful, which was also attended by minister of School Education & SCERT Yitachu, NH said CM assured to look into the matter with all seriousness in the interest of the people.

Rongmei tribe recognition issue: Naga Hoho in a representation to the chief

minister has fervently appealed the government to take stock of the volatile situation that has cropped up following the issue of Rongmei tribe recognition The hoho in this regard has urged upon the competent authority to re-examine the decision of state government through the constituted cabinet sub-committee on Rongmei issue “in depth and to find out the solution in consultation with all stake holders/Tribal Hohos at the earliest”, adding, such issues should not jeopardize the unity of Naga family at this crucial juncture.

NH said despite repeated clarifications through media and various platforms, the letter written to the government in 2008 and the position of the hoho was being misconstrued, which it said was uncalled for.

NH said it has taken note that the granting of indigenous Naga tribe to Rongmei community by the state government had resulted in tremendous amount of resentments amongst a cross section of Naga society. As a responsible organization representing the

Nagas, the hoho said it cannot remain a mute spectator to the kind of upheavals that the Naga society aws experiencing today.

Since the state government on July 8, 2008 had sought the views and opinions of Naga Hoho pertaining to the granting of Indigenous Naga tribe status to Rongmei community settled in Nagaland prior to 1963, the hoho said it conveyed the decision of the presidential council meeting held on September 5, 2008 through a letter dated22nd Sept. 2008.

The collective view of the Naga Hoho was in favour of granting of Indigenous Naga inhabitant status to Rongmei community settled in the state prior to the formation statehood as enjoyed by Kukis, Garos and Kacharis in accordance with the government notification, NH added.

It further reminded that the hoho “opined in the same letter that the Committee should examine with all seriousness in regards to conduct of enumeration and to include only the eligible Rongmei community so as to avoid commu-

CNTC’s fact-sheet on Rongmei tribe recognition issue Dimapur, Oct 14 (NPN): Reacting to statements made by some organisation(s) media cell of the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC), stated it was high time that Nagas learnt to differentiate and to draw the line between facts and propaganda though it was not against Naga unity but unity cannot justify any member of any Naga tribe outside Nagaland to claim to be an indigenous tribe of Nagaland just because they are Nagas.

CNTC said it never objected to Rongmeis being accorded as the Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland state for those qualifying the norms of the Government notification April 28,1977 but will continue to oppose recognition of Rongmei as a tribe of Nagland with other Naga tribes of Nagaland till it is revoked.

Responding to Naga Hoho’s allegations, CNTC accused NH of playing hide and seek by twisting the facts and the details. CNTC took umbrage on the NH’s attack that its federated units(Ao, Lotha Sumi) were “trying to tarnish

the image of the Naga Hoho, through undemocratic and unethical means” and exposing “their lack of farsightedness.”

CNTC also termed as “totally baseless and a lie” the Naga Hoho denial that it had received an official copy of the 30-day ultimatum that expired on August 31,2016 which had also been made public when it was issued. Media Cell disclosed that the CNTC ultimatum had been handed over personally by an executive of CNTC at the residence of the President Naga Hoho. CNTC pointed that Naga Hoho belatedly summoned its assembly on September 28,2016 a month after the deadline expired, to discuss the Rongmei issue, in total disregard to the sentiments of Nagas of Nagaland.

CNTC said even before it took up the matter, other tribal organisations of Nagaland such as APO,CPO , ENPO, ZPO and NTC were already against Rongmei recognition. Therefore, CNTC asked Naga Hoho as to how it can accuse CNTC of “misleading the Nagas?”

CNTC cited several deci-

sions of the Angami Public Organisation (APO) on the Rongmei recognition issue: On July 3,2013 APO asked the chief minister to “derecognise the Rongmei community” and also to “put an end to move to recognise Mao community as an indigenous inhabitant tribe of Nagaland”. On April 29,2013 meeting APO decided that opening doors for recognition of other Naga tribes from other states or country would only lead to demand by other tribes of similar backdground as Maos, Poumais, Tangkhuls, Hemis etc.

APO expressed great concern over granting of indigenous inhabitant Naga tribe statues of Nagaland through modification of the April 28,1977 notification citing in particular, the case with Rongmeis in the 2012 recruitment drive for Graduate Teachers in Peren district wherein a person from Tamenglong district of Manipur obtained indigenous inhabitant Naga tribe/BT certificate as Zeliang tribe of Nagaland was duly recommended by NPSC for Deputy

SP post reserved for Zeliang tribe under BT quota.

CNTC also pointed that ENPO at its executive meeting on May 4,2013 opposed the inclusion/recognition of Mao and Rongmei tribes in Nagaland and sought appropriate clarification from the state government in this regard.

CNTC also said Zeliang People’s Organisation(ZPO) stated that the recognition of Rongmei was notified without ascertaining facts and without verification and valid reason in 2012. ZPO had also said that home commissioner Temjen Toy has however correctly pointed out Zeliang tribe was included leaving out Rongmei tribe, as Zeliangs had their own ancestral land/territory in Nagaland; whereas Rongmei community members were “invited from Imphal valley during later part” on October 19, 1965 by the then Tribal Council Chairman Namgaheing Iheilung to “cultivate land” which was reclaimable as clearly stated in his appeal.

ZPO had also described the enumeration report sub-

mitted by the committee as “fictitious and baseless” and reiterated that the names of those (223) Rongmei enlisted in the list submitted was not from Peren district prior to the electoral roll of 1963 CNTC also pointed out that Chakhesang Public Organisation (CPO) recalled that the state government notification on August 4,2012 was in pursuance of the cabinet decision on July 23,2012 to recognise Rongmei as one of the Naga tribes. CPO also said such a status did not befit the community since it was already recognised as a tribe in Manipur besides not having any ancestral land in Nagaland.

CNTC also mentioned that the Committee headed

by J. Alam, IAS Home commissioner, clearly stated in its report “such a status while entitling them to avail all the benefits of reservation to pursue employment and education will not make them an indigenous Naga tribe of the State”. It also said “Members of Rongmei community who are qualified as per the criteria as laid down”

by notification dated April 28, 1977 were entitled to be an indigenous inhabitant of the state of Nagaland but that would not make them “indigenous Naga tribe of the state”. CNTC revealed, that the state cabinet had blatantly disregarded the findings of the Expert Committee by taking a political decision to recognise Rongmei as an indigenous inhabitant tribe of Nagaland on July 23,2012 against people’s wishes. Further, CNTC disclosed that four out of the eight cabinet ministers did not append their signature for Rongmei recognition.

CNTC also slammed Naga Hoho’s plea that its September 22,2008 letter to the state government was just an opinion and view and not an endorsement. CNTC said the Naga Hoho letter dated September 22,2008 reads: “ GRANTING of status of Indigenous Naga Tribe to Rongmei Community settled in Nagaland.” CNTC said “granting” was to surrender and much stronger than the word “endorse”.

nal misgivings in future.”

Following the cabinet decision to grant recognition to Rongmei tribe as a Naga Tribe in 2012 and the subsequent government notification in August, 2012, it said there was hue and cry among different sections of the Naga society and that the hoho was hauled up and alleged that the government had taken such decision on being “endorsed” by Naga Hoho.

Municipal Act 2001: Making its stand clear against state cabinet’s decision to implement the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 and to conduct the Urban Local Bodies polls, the Naga Hoho in a memorandum submitted to the chief minister highlighted various issues that were deliberated during the 3rd Federal Assembly held at Kohima on September 28, with its constituent units.

NH president P. Chuba Ozukum and general secretary Mutsikhoyu Yhobu said the house thoroughly discussed the contents of the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 and the rights guaranteed under (Cont’d on p-7)

DNSU cautions students

Governor of Nagaland PB Acharya felicitating NEISSR student, Friday. (NP) Staff reporter DIMAPUR, Oct 14 (NPN): Nagaland Governor P.B. Acharya Friday called for a stop to ‘commercialisation of education’ and a complete relook at the education system saying that “graduation should not be the sole aim of universities of the country.”

Addressing the first graduation day as well as foundation day of North East Institute of Social Sciences and Research (NEISSR) at Don Bosco Higher Secondary School campus, DBIDL hall Dimapur, Acharya said universities are the centres of knowledge but when commercial interests overtake national interests, it’s time to redo the entire higher education field.

of nationalism among the students.

“They (universities) should make them (students) aware of the fact that their education is not just for them but for the entire community and country at large. If it is done nothing can stop India from marching ahead,” Acharya stated. He said it was time for the universities to change their approach and come out of their ivory towers.

Also hitting out at a certain group of people of the state for the stalled railway project, the Governor said, “The project was initiated with much enthusiasm in the presence of Rail Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu but it has been stalled because people were whining about less compensation.

“They are not prepared to accept that the project is

meant for them and ironically money has become the God in a Christian state,” he added.

He further said nobody was going to make Nagaland a golden Nagaland unless Nagas come ahead and make it so.

Acharya stated there was no one to be blamed for Nagas being condemned economically but Nagas themselves.

He stressed the need of skill development among the graduating students and said there was lack of dialogue between the universities and the traders and industries and thus there is no co-ordination between the demand and supply of human resources.

The governor further said there are enough resources in the state but they are not being utilized.

Acharya further appealed the students to make Nagaland a vibrant state. “When an

achiever becomes a giver, it is highest joy in life”, he said.

Addressing the function as guest of honour, Nagaland University (NU) former pro vice chancellor Prof. A. Lanunungsamg Ao described it as the day for the students from where they have to start a new journey of life by committing and sacrificing more and more for the people of the country.

“From this day they will be known for whatever they do and how they work will be an inspiration for many others,” he said. He encouraged the students to go ahead with the journey with great dedication, simplicity, clear determination and sacrifice. “Don’t forget to be a man of exemple, always try to be proud of where you are from,” Prof. Ao added.

Prof. Ao opined that Nagaland should have more autonomous colleges and post graduate colleges for the students which may improve the quality of higher education in the state.

Altogether, 43 students graduated with specializations in Community Development, Peace & Conflict Transformation Studies and Youth Development.

11 students specialized in Peace and Conflict Transformation, 12 students in Youth Development and 20 students specialized in Community Development.

BJP joins coalition PPA Mnp rebels call 18-hr total shutdown government in Arunachal

IMPHAL, Oct 14: Coordination Committee (CorCom) has given an 18-hour total shutdown on Saturday (October 15), the day on which the conglomerate of five major rebel groups in Manipur observed as “Leipakki Amamba Numit (National Black Day) every year.

The 18-hour total shutdown (Sintha Leppa) would be effective from the intervening night of Friday and Saturday and ends at 6 pm on Saturday.

Manipur was merged to the Republic of India on October 15, 1949 after a merger agreement was signed between the then King of Manipur and India.

Alleging that the merger agreement was signed by the then King of Manipur Maharaja Budhachandra at gun point after he was summoned to Shillong, Meghalaya, rebel groups of the state have been observing October 15 every

year as “National Black Day”.

A statement of the Coordination Committee (CorCom) of KCP, KYKL, PREPAK, RPF and UNLF issued to the media today announced imposition of the 18-hour strike in the whole of Manipur.

Essential services like media, electricity, water supply, medical and those related with religious purposes would be exempted from the purview of the general strike.

The statement reminded the merger agreement which came into effect from 15 October was signed after coercing the then King of Manipur Budhachandra at Red lane in Shillong (Meghalaya).

The King signed the merger agreement under duress, the statement alleged.

Before the signing of the merger agreement the drafting of Manipur State Constitution Act, 1947 was already completed on July 26, 1947 as the British were preparing to leave the then princely state of Manipur.

With the enactment of the Manipur State Constitution Act, 1947, elections were held in June 1948 which was followed by installation of a council of ministers. The ministers were administered oath at the Darbar hall of the Kangla on October 18, 1948.

The day marked the installation of a democratic government in Manipur, the statement reminded.

On September 21, 1949 the king signed, under duress, the treacherous agreement that came into force from October 15, 1949. Manipur was an independent kingdom and even during the British rule, the kingdom was not annexed to the British Indian territory.

Only after India forcefully and deceitfully annexed the once sovereign kingdoms, they were pushed to the lowest Class C of Indian state, the statement of the separatists’ apex body went on to state.

“This is the time for one and all to raise the banner of freedom and fight for what

rightfully belongs to the people of this region,” it said.

People should neither give a pause nor a let-up in the ongoing freedom struggle to tear out all the genocide terror, oppression, exploitation, social discrimination, colonialism, militarism and all the draconian laws by the root from our society so that the future generations are unknown to these and the age old territorial integrity and sovereignty of the region can be handed over to them, the statement added.

Stating that the freedom struggle against India is meant for the oppressed people of Manipur, the statement said that free from “colonial India” is the only way to able the people of the state to take part in the development race of the globe.

The statement defines development as freedom and urged upon the people to support the freedom struggle so as to decide the future of the people of this land.

Itanagar, Oct 14 (PTI) :The BJP in Arunachal Pradesh today officially became a part of the People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) government with the induction of senior BJP MLA Tamiyo Taga in the council of ministers.

Governor V Shanmuganathan administered the oath of office and secrecy to Taga in presence of Chief Minister Pema Khandu and his Cabinet colleagues besides, civil and police officials in a function organised in the Darbar Hall of the Raj Bhawan.

DIPHU, OCT 14: Filthy water overflowing on the road throughout the year beneath the Diphu Civil Hospital (DCH) children and maternity ward has turned the whole locality extremely unpleasant. With no proper sewerage system, the dirty water of the hospital collected over the years overflows from the chocked culvert. Besides people who pass by the culvert each day, the residents from the nearby Inglongrcherop and surrounding areas face health hazards on a daily basis.

It may be mentioned that the authority of Diphu Civil Hospital has not taken the issue seriously although the mess was caused by the hospital waste.

Even the PWD has not taken any initiative to construct drainage system encircling the Diphu Civil Hospital premises for waste management.

Right below the hideous overflow of the hospital’s toxic waste is the main supply point of the PHE’s drinking water.

The presence of the filthy water nearby has made consumption of drinking water of that feeder point hazardous.

Dearest Sen, With each passing day, may God always walk with you. Meanwhile, you know we are here with you. May your happiness come even from the darkest of hours and may you continue to be a blessing to everyone around you. Happy Birthday. We love you lots!!

IMPHAL, Oct 14: Advancing e-Governance a step forward, the Manipur state cabinet has now gone paperless to become the first among the states in the Northeast region of the country. e-Cabinet was switched for the first time by state chief minister O Ibobi Singh who chaired a paperless cabinet meeting held in his office chamber Thursday evening.

With the successful conduct of the e-Cabinet, Manipur has become the first among the Northeast states switching over the electronic format in conducting the cabinet proceedings, Andhra Pradesh being the first states of the country to take the initiative. A government statement informed that Thursday’s cabinet meeting was a digital and totally paperless.

This is the first time eCabinet was used to conduct a cabinet meeting. i-pads were used by the chief minister and cabinet ministers to conduct the meeting in the electronic/ digital mode, it added. The eCabinet has many advantages as the e-cabinet application

goes paperless and has an automated workflow and decision making process in an efficient manner digitally.

In Manipur, a cabinet meeting traditionally required about 20 sets of cabinet memorandums which typically will have a number of annexure.

A cabinet memorandum, on the average consists of about 15-20 pages which multiplies to about 400 pages of printed material.With the e-Cabinet Application, the cabinet memorandums with all the annexure are digitally uploaded onto the e-Cabinet Application and can be accessed by the cabinet department and the cabinet ministers through the Internet. i-pads were used by the chief minister and other ministers to conduct cabinet meetings in the electronic/digital mode.

The Application was designed and developed in-house by state department of information technology and was of the first initiatives of the government of Manipur to utilise IT and e-Governance in an effective manner at the highest level of decision making authority, the statement maintained.

PM lauds Indian army’s humanitarian efforts

The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi addressing at Ex Servicemen Public Meeting, in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh on October 14, 2016.

BHOPAL, OCT 14 (IANS): Inaugurating ‘Shaurya Smarak’, a war memorial dedicated to the Indian soldiers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lauded the humanitarian work undertaken by the defence personnel in times of natural or man-made calamities.

Be it the Uttarakhand floods of 2013 or the Kashmir floods of 2014, the Indian Army did a commendable job in saving thousands of lives, Modi said here.

“In Kashmir, our soldiers rescued -- and provided humanitarian aid to -- thousands of people without giving a thought that these are the same people who throw stones at the Indian forces,” he said.

“Sometimes these stones can be fatal. But despite that, our soldiers did not go into who did what to them in the past.

They just saved the lives of their fellow countrymen,” the Prime Minister said. He reminded the audience that the uniformed

men armed with weapons also had a humane face.

“The first image of a soldier may be that of a uniformed person with bloodshot eyes, carrying weapons and looking for enemies, but the same soldier has a very humane face too,” Modi said.

He said the Indian Army may not be the strongest in the world, but it certainly is on the top on the parameters of humanity, discipline, conduct and behaviour with civilians.

Speaking on humanitarian activities undertaken by the Indian soldiers across the globe, the Prime Minister said: “Terrorism in west Asia has taken an ugly shape. Thousands of Indians were stranded in Yemen and their lives were hanging between life and death.

Our armed forces brought out more than 5,000 Indians and many foreigners, including Pakistan’s citizens, safely out of Yemen.”

“The Indian forces never

hesitated in giving their lives for the sake of humanity. In both the World Wars, more than one and a half lakh Indians soldiers died. The world is forgetting the sacrifices of our jawans; unfortunately, we also forget it some times,” he added.

Modi said high morale is the biggest weapon of any army, which comes from the backing of 125 crore Indians.

“Our army doesn’t talk but displays valour.”

Touching on the ‘One Rank One Pension’ (OROP) issue and anomalies in the seventh Pay Commission, the Prime Minister said: “For the last many decades, the armed forces are demanding OROP. Previous governments in very sophisticated words have been promising the armed forces fulfilment of their demand for OROP. We fulfilled that demand.”

He said till date, Rs 5,500 crore had been disbursed in instalments in this regard.

Appointment row: Kerala Minister resigns T H I R U V A N A N THAPURAM, OCT 14 (PTI): In a big blow to the five-month old CPI(M)-led LDF government in Kerala, Industries minister E P Jayarajan today resigned from the Cabinet in the wake of the raging appointment row.

His resignation from the Pinarayi Vijayan Cabinet came after a CPI(M) state secretariat meeting, which permitted him to take the decision.

Coming out of the meeting, Jayarajan told reporters, “Now you people are happy.

Isn’t it?”

State party secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said Jayarajan had wanted to be allowed to put in his papers to “uphold the image of the party and set an exemplary model in contrast to the previous Congress-led UDF government”.

The Kannur strongman and the number two in the Cabinet, Jayarajan had admitted before the secretariat that he had committed a ‘mistake’ by appointing a close relative in a PSU in the industries department and sought permission to resign.

Jayarajan, considered close to Chief Minister Vijayan, was in the eye of a storm over appointment of his nephew, P K Sudheer Nambiar and son of Kannur MP P K Sreemathi as the Managing Director of Kerala Industrial Enterprises Ltd. His appointment was later quashed by the government.

Another appointment, that of Deepthi Nishad, Jayarajan’s brother’s daughter-inlaw, had also become controversial. She had resigned two days ago. Jayarajan, who had successfully contested from Mattannur in northern Kannur district, was a member of the legislative assembly from 1991-96. From 2011 onwards he was an MLA.

Religious persecution will never be allowed: Rajnath

The Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh addressing the National Christian Leaders Conference, in New Delhi on October 14, 2016.

NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Describing India as a “university of tolerance”, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today asserted that religious persecution will never be allowed in the country.

“Tolerance is essential for peaceful existence. People from all religions live peacefully in India and practise their religion without any fear of discrimination. That is why India is a university of tolerance,” Singh said at a meeting of Christian leaders organised by India Christian Council here.

Singh said Christianity came to India almost 2,000 years ago and Kerala is home to St Thomas church which is one of the world’s oldest churches. He said India cannot forget the contribution of Christians -- from Saint Thomas to Mother Teresa -- who tried to eradicate evils from our society.

“There were incidents of attacks on churches in Delhi which came up in the run up to elections (to Delhi

Assembly). But I would like to say that religious persecution will never be allowed in India whether it is before or after election,” he said.

Ta r ge t i n g Pa k i s t a n , Singh said while India chose to be a secular country, Pakistan declared itself a theocratic state and was now pursuing terrorism as state policy “In 1947, India was divided on the basis of religion and despite that, it chose to be a secular state.

“The nation (Pakistan) separated from it declared itself a theocratic state. That country uses terrorism as a state policy.”

It is very unfortunate that some countries make terrorism a state policy. There can be differences between people that can be resolved through dialogue but not by taking up guns, he said Singh said a terrorist does not belong to any caste, creed or religion.

“Not only India, but many countries in the world have been affected by terror-

Govt rebukes AIMPLB, says Govt misleading nation over disability pension: Amarinder don’t link triple talaq and UCC NEW DELHI/PATNA, OCT 14 (PTI): Government today accused the All India Muslim Personal Law Board of trying to politicise the law panel’s move to seek feedback on uniform civil code and said it should not be linked to ‘triple talaq’, where the core issue is gender justice and ending discrimination against women.

Calling for an “enlightened debate” on Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said the “real mood” of the country was to end triple talaq and some people were trying to create confusion over the two issues.

“You (All India Muslim Personal Law Board) join the debate. Let there be enlightened debate you put forth your point of view. Let a consensus be evolved. Why are you trying to bring in the name of Prime

Minister and call him dictator,” Naidu told reporters.

Government’s sharp reaction came a day after All India Muslim Personal Law Board and various other Muslim organisations announced that they will boycott Law Commission’s process to take views on the contentious Uniform Civil Code. They said the move amounted to the Modi government declaring “war” on their religious rights and that UCC will “kill” India’s pluralism.

Naidu said some people were confusing the issue of triple talaq with Uniform Civil Code. “The real mood of the country is that people want this triple talaq to end. People do not want any discrimination on basis of any religious faith against women. As I told you the issues are gender justice, non-discrimination and dignity of women,” he said.

CHANDIGARH, OCT 14 (PTI): Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh today accused the Narendra Modi government at the Centre of misleading the nation over the issue of disability pension of armed forces.

Rejecting the Centre’s claim that there had been no reduction in the disability pension, he said the BJP-led government was using selective data, projected by vested interests, to spread lies.

“The government should stop playing dirty games with the armed forces, which was the only institution in the country that is respected by all communities and sections,” Singh said, adding that why the government could not give the same respect to the forces as was given by the common man.

Terming as “ridiculous” the fact that there was not a single person from the armed forces on the 7th Pay Commission panel, the Congress leader said figures were being

interpreted and projected by the government in such a way to suggest that the disability pension had not been cut.

The fact is, the disability pension had been reduced across several key categories of defence personnel, he said, adding that the large number of personnel of various ranks will actually not get benefits of the new scales.

Rather, only those jawans would benefit who are invalided out with minimal service at the beginning of their careers, which is a rare possibility in any case, said Singh, himself an ex-soldier.

He said under the slab system, Jawans would benefit only if their pay at the time of release from service is less than Rs 34,800 (basic) plus Rs 5,200 (military service pay) under the 7th CPC rates since below this, 30 per cent of basic pay would fall to less than Rs 12,000.

Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) will only benefit if their pay at the time of release

Kashmir solution must to end terror: Farooq SRINAGAR, OCT 14 (IANS): India and Pakistan must talk and solve the Kashmir issue to end terrorism in the region, former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said on Friday, after a meeting of opposition parties to discuss a stand-off between the two countries and the ongoing unrest that has crippled normal life for over three months in the valley.

“Both countries must sit and have talks on Kashmir. That is the only solution to end terrorism. Otherwise, it will keep on escalating,” Abdullah told reporters here.

“All of us are looking for the way forward and not looking back at what happened,” the National Conference President said. He said dialogue was the only way forward to end the Kashmir problem and urged the central and state governments to have an internal dialogue, including with separatists. “When former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee can reach out to Pakistan for peace why can’t we speak to our own people.”

He said the turmoil in the Kashmir Valley that has left thousands injured since the July 8 killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani caused concern and demanded that “a solution needs to be found” to the vexed Kashmir issue.

is less than Rs 51,000 plus Rs 5,200 since below this, 30 per cent of basic pay would be less than Rs 17,000.

Commissioned Officers will only benefit if their pay at the time of release is less than Rs 74,500 plus Rs 15,500 since below this, 30 per cent would be less than Rs 27,000.

Since most of the retirees at the Jawan level are above the basic level of Rs 34,800 plus Rs 5,200, they will not be benefitted from the slab system introduced as per the 7th Pay Commission recommendations, he said.

They will gain only under the percentage system of calculation, the PCC chief said, adding that the same logic applied to other ranks also.

“In any case, if the slab system is beneficial for lower ranks then why had not it been made applicable to other services, including the Central Armed Police Forces?” he said.

Singh further pointed out that while all pensions, including disability pensions for civilians, had been multiplied by 2.57 by the Pay Commission, singularity disability pensions of the military had been slashed and in some cases reduced to less than half.

The government, Singh said, was unnecessarily and deliberately creating a situation of unrest in the armed forces, which could prove highly dangerous for the country’s security and future.

He demanded to know why the armed forces were being subjected to such shoddy treatment, wherein their pay scales were even less than those in the paramilitary forces.

Such distinction was bound to create a schism between the paramilitary and defence forces, which the nation simply could not afford given the prevailing geopolitical scenario, he said.

ism. A terrorist is a terrorist who does not belong to any caste, creed or religion.

Although, some people link terrorism with religion but it is wrong,” he said.

The Home Minister said in India, people from all religions get respect and it is the only country where all sects of Islam are found. “All important religions find place in India,” he said.

The meeting was attended by BJP MP and National Chairman of the All India Confederation of SC/ ST Organisations Udit Raj and Joseph D’Souza, Moderator Bishop, Good Shepherd Church, India and President of All Indian Christian Council.

D’Souza asked the Christian community to stand with the government and support it in the fight against terrorism.

The Council requested Singh to send a circular to state governments and police to ensure protection of Christians and places of their worships.

Army briefs Par committee on surgical strikes NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): After initial reluctance, the Army today briefed members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence on the surgical strikes carried out by its men on terror launch pads inside Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

At least three members who attended the meeting said Vice Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Bipin Rawat briefed the Committee on the September 29 surgical strikes.

“A brief statement was made by the Army on the sensitive issue. But no questions were taken,” a member said. But another member from NDA said Congress’ Madhusudan Mistry wanted to ask questions which was denied by panel chief Maj Gen B C Khanduri (Retd). “There was a heated exchange of words between the two ... no questions were finally taken,” he said.

Earlier, the standing committee was to get “Briefing by the representatives of the Ministry of Defence on surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC)”. But later, the agenda was changed to hearing by officials of the Defence Ministry, the Law Ministry and the Election Commission “on the status of implementation of E Postal Ballot System”.

Yesterday, two senior Congress members Ambika Sonia and Mistry had dubbed the move to change the agenda as “high1y unacceptable”.

“The decision not to brief the committee over surgical strikes under the garb of secrecy only amounts to ‘lack of confidence’ in the Members of Parliament, who are in the committee and who are bound by the oath of secrecy. This position is absolutely unacceptable to us,” party General Secretaries Soni and Mistry had said in a joint statement yesterday.

A contentious code

H

aving a Uniform Civil Code(UCC) or one law governing various facets of people of different religions involving their rights relating to property and otherwise in personal matters like marriage, divorce, maintenance, adoption and inheritance has become a raging political debate. The Pandora box was opened and with clear motive after various BJP ministers threw it on the table for discussion and debate in order to push it through for enactment.

The UCC is to cover the entire body of laws of various religious communities and bring one common code for all. Currently, different laws govern these aspects for different communities in India. Thus, the laws governing inheritance or divorce among Hindus would be different from those pertaining to Muslims or Christians and so on. The demand for a uniform civil code essentially means a unification of all these “personal laws” to have one set of secular laws which will be applicable to all citizens of India irrespective of the community they belong to. India is the land of religions as it has all the major religions of the world and also the birth place of them. As per 2001 Census of India: Religion, our population comprises of Hindus 80.5%, Muslims 13.4%, Christians 2.3%, Sikhs 1.9% and others 1.9%. The matter surfaced during the hearing of a public interest litigation filed

by Delhi resident Albert Anthony, seeking the waiver of a two-year mandatory separation period before a Christian couple can move court for divorce by mutual consent. For other religions, the separation period is one year. Under the PIL, Anthony challenged the validity of Section 10A (1) of the Divorce Act, 1869, saying the two-year mandatory period of separation was biased against the Christian community amounting to “hostile discrimination”. Presently there are religious Personal Laws of different religions in India and the UCC aims to replace the personal laws with a common set governing every citizen. Personal laws were first framed during the British Raj, mainly for Hindu and Muslim citizens.

The British feared opposition from community leaders and refrained from further interfering within this domestic sphere. The demand for a uniform civil code was first put forward by women activists in the beginning of the twentieth century, with the objective of women’s rights, equality and secularism. In 1956, the Indian Parliament passed Hindu Code Bill amidst significant opposition. Though a demand for a uniform civil code was made by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, his supporters and women activists, they had to finally accept the compromise of it being added to the Directive Principles because of heavy opposition. Rightly or wrongly, the BJP, which has been espousing UCC, is being seen as trying to push through its hidden agenda that is mainly directed at Muslims and Christians. Thus, it would be more acceptable if the government constitutes an all party committee to consult various religious groups to seek at a consensus. Another caution, there should be no undue hurry to push through the bill even if the BJP has a brute majority in parliament; or even use the subject as a ploy to polarise communities in the run up to the UP assembly election.

There appears to be a logic behind having UCC but the very effort can cause disharmony and division if politics is allowed to play and threaten the foundation of a secular nation.

DailyDevotion The Key to the Missionary’s Work Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…”

—Matthew 28:18-19 The key to the missionary’s work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don’t go— He simply says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations….” He says, “Go on the basis of the revealed truth of My sovereignty, teaching and preaching out of your living experience of Me.” “Then the eleven disciples went…to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them” (Matthew 28:16). If I want to know the universal sovereignty of Christ, I must know Him myself. I must take time to worship the One whose name I bear. Jesus says, “Come to Me…”— that is the place to meet Jesus— “all you who labor and are heavy laden…” (Matthew 11:28)— and how many missionaries are! We completely dismiss these wonderful words of the universal Sovereign of the world, but they are the words of Jesus to His disciples meant for here and now.

“Go therefore….” To “go” simply means to live. Acts 1:8 is the description of how to go. Jesus did not say in this verse, “Go into Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria,” but, “…you shall be witnesses to Me in [all these places].” He takes upon Himself the work of sending us.

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you…” (John 15:7)— that is the way to keep going. Where we are placed is then a matter of indifference to us, because God sovereignly engineers our goings.

“None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus…” (Acts 20:24).

That is how to keep going until we are gone from this life.

Post-mortem Nagas deserve a better future

et us candidly open the maiden statement of this discourse in a sincere honest note. In all fairness Nagas must unreservedly concede and applaud NSCN (IM) for being able to accomplish a herculean task of influencing the ever impervious GoI to officially acknowledge the “Unique History of the Nagas” that no other Factions have been able to achieve.

The fundamental foundry of Naga future rests on this “unique history” and it is incumbent upon the Nagas to responsibly and collectively endeavour to induce GoI to act honourably in consonance with this “uniqueness” in real terms. The Naga people, with all the best of intention and goodwill would want to hope and believe that the “Framework Agreement” has been structured on fair application of mind based on this factor of uniqueness to establish their rightful place amongst the community of free Nations. This monumental achievement has however been deeply scarred by the lack of transparency that has unnecessarily generated a hyper toxic environment of unabated speculations and extreme suspicion.

The simple logical question that remains unanswered is: “If this framework agreement truly represents the interest of the Nagas what is the need to hide its contents”? The lack of response has caused the barometer on trust between NSCN (IM) and the people to take a sharp dip below zero as a consequence. This serious trust deficit is bolstered by the ruthless, autocratic nature of NSCN (IM), determined to unilaterally steer the course of Naga destiny towards an undisclosed future. Rather than generate an inclusive Naga tsunami against our adversary by taking all the fragmented factions and stakeholders on board an even playing field of shared respect, this unfortunate attitude of exclusive superiority complex on the part of NSCN (IM) is gravely vitiating the prospect of lasting peaceful solution.

This is a time for NSCN (IM) leadership to prayerfully grope into the depth of their hearts and minds and find that true Christian compassionate wisdom and bighearted understanding to uphold due respect for Naga History which cannot but recount that every household in Nagaland without exception has paid a very heavy price for freedom. No matter which faction they now belong to today, many have courageously joined the fray facing bullets in the front line while the remaining com-

T

mon majority have relentlessly shouldered equal responsibility of mobilising and sustaining the lifeline of the Naga National Movement from behind the scene no matter how daunting the challenge. Both the frontline and the rear were indispensable equal partners in this desperate struggle for self-determination.

Efforts of one without the other would have driven the wind out of the sails of freedom a long time ago. After weathering inhuman trials for so long, failing to respect the legitimate right of the stakeholders with such arrogant impunity is the ultimate definition of a humiliating insult being poured over the cross bearing majority. The people of Nagaland being treated like a beast of burden only fit to bear the ‘out of control’ unregulated greed ‘tax’/extortion but being marginalised as ‘unfit’ in the decision making process is absolutely unjustifiable and unacceptable.

These are critical times that demand harsh truth to be placed on the table and dealt with forthrightly without bias, fear or favour for the greater good of all. The truth is this: We are being faced with a very unfortunate circumstantial reality that the fate of the entire Naga race is singlehandedly being dictated by one solitary human being in the person of Mr. Th. Muivah, the General Secretary, NSCN (IM). It is a universal knowledge that he is the undisputed dictator behind the facade of an impotent “Collective Leadership” within the NSCN (IM) set up. This already unhealthy imbalance in their system is further being reinforced by the utterly unscrupulous over-ground political leaders of Nagaland who have no vision beyond their immediate selfish political survival for power and money. Each of them has divorced reason as they flock faceless to Hebron to give their worthless mandate just so as to garner the support of NSCN (IM) in the coming election or fish for a future post of Kilonser in the event NSCN (IM) forms the next government by being in their good book. They do so at the cost of abandoning the honourable path of ensuring common good for all...for all times to come. This miserable caravan is also joined by many Apex NGOs spearheaded by Naga Haha, who have long since sold their souls to the devil and are prepared to toe the line as dictated by the powers that be.

The intellectuals along with the common masses have helplessly been silenced by the fear factor induced by AK-47. This has

necessarily induced ‘courage’ to take a very long vacation abroad with no intention of coming home. The sense of pride in us as once ‘honourable courageous people’ is the first casualty causing us to now tamely accept our fate and the fate of our children to be decided by one single uncompromising dictator.

With what face can Nagas of Nagaland complacently tolerate this insufferable affront lying down is anybody’s guess?

The world has generally moved on from medieval era of ‘might is right’ to a more vibrant democratic civilisation that acknowledges the rights of individuals. Even China has abandoned Mao Zedong’s Red Book philosophy and has since taken giant strides, rapidly becoming a world economic powerhouse because of their liberal open door policy. Without the expressed consent of the people, NSCN (IM) proposes to impose their out of tune communist ideology taken out from the ‘red book’ to compel the Nagas to stagnate in medieval times by expecting an unquestioning blind faith to this ‘one man organisation’ on an important subject of such magnitude as our future that hangs in a balance. Claiming people’s mandate on ground that the people pay sovereignty related tax to NSCN (IM) is the height of all moronic daydreaming detached from ground reality. People would pay tax even to a rat if that rat is pointing AK 47 at them... which NSCN (IM) and all the other Factions have been doing ruthlessly thus far. The only historical mandate ever endorsed by the people of Nagaland for freedom was the Plebiscite of 1951 (P-51) which has long since been buried because of factionalism. Obtaining so-called public endorsement and mandate through bogus pre-concluded consultations does not even convince an ant leave aside a thinking person.

Be it NSCN (IM), NNC or any other factions...none can command an honourable claim to P-51. The only way for the Nagas to exhume P-51 is to regroup as a united house that the bloated factional egos still won’t allow. The preferred road to unity is therefore to set aside this cancerous ego and take into serious cognizance that all factions have acquired dark spots of omissions and commissions without exceptions in this long road of self-determination, and also sensitively analysing the changing political realities around us. Mr. Th. Muivah should perhaps tone down his stubborn finger pointing hype

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Saturday, October 15, 2016

on ‘National principle’ that his own organisation may also not strictly measure up to and find a common platform for all leaders of factions to at least brainstorm together and excavate the possibility of a neutral approach beyond the tireless laudable efforts of FNR if possible. Considering the historic distance that has so far been covered, his continued leadership in an amalgamated inclusive platform ought to be a foregone conclusion that he ought not to doubt. Heart to heart talk amongst the factional leaders with relaxed rigidity seems to be the missing link that should earnestly be given a rethink.

The problem is not only limited to NSCN (IM)’s unwillingness to talk to the other factional leaders but they also seems to be having a serious mind block of really communicating with the neutral intellectual class. Any negative perception about NSCN (IM) will persist as long as they continue to trumpet their one-sided exclusive supremacy tune in isolation.

While it is true that nothing tangible would result from an unregulated mass interaction, it would perhaps be desirable if NSCN (IM) set up some kind of a ‘National Movement Forum for open discussion’ where selective, reasonably smaller groups of well-meaning intellectual critics gets a space to candidly raise issues of common concern and afford NSCN (IM) the opportunity to interact and also clarify wherever necessary. One believes that this healthy cross ventilation of ideas and inputs will be refreshing and beneficial for all concerned and bridge the gap of mutual distrust. New directions that were otherwise missed out before could even result from such open-minded discourses for all we know.

This necessarily means that the earlier ‘consultation’ format of one-sided lecture followed by a pre-determined endorsement of resolution by ‘yes men’ in attendance should be abandoned.

Fair minded Naga intellectuals being able to see through the fog would then become useful assets to act as a vital catalyst to generate healthy momentum for Naga unity. As the present eldest leading faction amongst the brothers, the onus rests with NSCN (IM) to actively explore every possible option for clarity of vision towards the path of least resistance within the Naga family... because Nagas deserve a better future.

Clarifications required from Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi & GBs

Q

uoting press releases, respected Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi claimed that Rongmei was ‘recognised as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland by Govt. of Nagaland in 1977’ as appeared in Nagaland Post on 12.10.2016.

Myself being a novice, comparatively speaking, in every respect and had it not been a compulsion, I wish not to question the wisdom of the elderly, prominent and distinguished Christian leader in the person of Rev. Suohie. I came to know that he is not only Reverend but he is a former MLA during the nascent stage of Nagaland Statehood. Indeed, I have all due respect for this Naga elder who has immense concern for the wellbeing of our people as I came across the occasional write-ups of his in the media.

Whereas, the brief item of Rev. Suohie on the controversial Rongmei issue has attracted my attention and for me to poise few questions to Reverend.

1. Which are those claimed ‘press releases’ that have vouched for Rongmei recognition as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland by Govt. of Nagaland in 1977?

2. Will you please substantiate your assertion with documentary proof or proofs?

3. Why did the Reverend remain silent for the last 3 years if you have such evidence(s) and knowledge on the matter and allowed the acrimonies to be developed between Rongmeis and other tribes? This question is necessitated for the fact that Rongmeis being recognized as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland in 1977, if true, should not have been debated since from 2013 onward. The APO submitted its representation to C.M. Nagaland on 27th June, 2013 against the recogntion.

I am sure, the senior Rev. Suohie is not talking nonsense.

He is a very experienced citizen and a prominent figure as ex-MLA and a Reverend in our society. Therefore, when he proves his claim, few authorities will be placed in a very embarrassing position. The State Govt. of Nagaland will be questioned as to how Rongmei had to be given re-recognition when Rongmei has been a tribe of Nagaland since 1977.

Was the Govt. of Nagaland ignorant of its own record?

The second, according to Rev. Suohie, Rongmeis has been an indigenous tribe of Nagaland for the last ‘more than 30 years’ (36 years), if so, what prompted the Rongmeis to seek for re-recognition?

Secondly, my attention is also drawn to Nagaland GBs expressing support to 1313 Rongmeis supposed to be voters in Nagaland since 1963. The GBs are regarded as the custodian of customary laws for our ethos and traditions. The GBs are considered mature, rational, stable(not purchasable) and daring. The GBs are considered the specimen of Naga truthfulness, Naga straightforwardness, Naga judiciousness, Naga transparency and Naga boldness. As long as a GB upholds these principles, he commands respect in society.

Unfortunately, the GBs interfered into the case of the PIL on Nagaland Oil and Natural Gas Rules and Regulations of 2012 filed by Lotha Hoho. The Govt. of Nagaland diluted the supremacy of Art 371(A) and legally harmed the protective law in question by oil exploration rules. Had MOGPL been allowed to explore our oil under the given rules, Art 371(A) would have been crippled by now had it not been intercepted

by Lothas. Without being well versed with the pros and cons about the issue, the GBs ran the errand of the Govt. or of those private parties having direct or indirect interest in oil exploration business had discoloured your red blanket.

Had the first misdemeanour been the last, I would have avoided the kind of reaction now posing to you. Yet, this is the second time the GBs have volunteered yourselves to be part and parcel of the controversy wagon which compels me to join you. Welcome. The Rongmei Naga is a recognized indigenous tribe in the State of Manipur and listed under Scheduled tribes by GOI. The 1313 Rongmeis claimed to be in Nagaland during 1963 are never an indigenous tribe of Nagaland. The GBs must be prepared to prove that 1313 Rongmeis are genuine and valid voters in 1963 as you have claimed so with legal proofs. I am sure you are ready to authenticate your posture.

If Rev. Suohie and the GBs are legally right, the NTC, CNTC and all those tribal bodies who objected the Rongmei recognition will be proved wrong.

CNTC clarifies Rongmei tribe recognition issue

he CNTC feels that it is indeed disappointing and disheartening to be writing on this issue yet again, but when facts become totally distorted, it is morally wrong, both socially and politically incorrect to remain silent as this may create more rooms for further misgivings or otherwise. The CNTC, therefore, feels that it is high time Nagas learn to differentiate and draw a clear line between facts and propagandas. The CNTC clarifies its stand that it is not against the Naga Unity or any endeavor towards the much needed and yearned peaceful solution on the Naga Cause yet it is an undeniable fact that every particular tribe resides in a particular geographical area as a tribe which are further divided into different territories such as districts, states or even sovereign nations. But this can never be summed up to justify any member or group of Naga tribes living outside Nagaland to claim to be an indigenous tribe of Nagaland state just because they happen to be a Naga.

The CNTC never objected the Rongmeis being accorded the Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland state to those qualifying the norms of the Govt. notification dated the 28th of April 1977, No.AR8/876 .However, the CNTC also makes the stand of the three tribes of CNTC clear to whomever concerned, that the recognition of Rongmeis with a tribal status of Nagaland state will be opposed and objected together with all the other Naga tribes of Nagaland till it is revoked. On the ongoing tussle involving the Rongmei recognition as an Indigenous Tribe of Nagaland, the CNTC takes this step in opposing the recognition of the mentioned tribe in the larger interest of the people of Nagaland and for the sake of our future generations.

When the state government is not in a position and struggling hard to look after the welfare of

the original indigenous tribes of Nagaland, what is their motive to include more tribes from Manipur state to create more socio-economic problems in our already beleaguered state of Nagaland? The move by the three apex hohos under the aegis of Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) on the de-recognition of the Rongmei in the state of Nagaland is a socio-economic issue and not of political one and is never detrimental to the Naga unity whatsoever in any manner, and thus the stand of the CNTC on Rongmei issue should not be misconceived or misunderstood in any manner by anyone.

Though it is not due to hatred against the Rongmeis brothers, yet the CNTC opposes the recongnition of the Rongmeis as one of the indigenous tribe of Nagaland state because the CNTC feels that every tribe are recognized within their own present respective states and should remain so.

On the various allegations leveled on the CNTC by the Naga Hoho,the CNTC wants to makes this clear for all and sundry. Terming that it was the Naga Hoho only who was the one playing the ‘hide-and-seek game’ by twisting the facts and the details. The Naga Hoho claiming that it still represents the Naga people when majority of the recognized tribes of Nagaland has all walked out sensing its one-sided, biased and partiality in all affairs within and without, is a story in itself. When the Nagas of Nagaland have lost every bit of confidence in it and claiming it still represents the Nagas as a sad joke and a misnomer. It is no secret to anyone that The Naga Hoho clearly does not work for the concern of the people of Nagaland anymore and instead is more interested in the people of Manipur state which can be seen by any sane Nagas. But if the Naga Hoho still wants to absurdly claim that it represents the Naga people, it can take an open

referendum to see if the people still have a faith and support for them. The Naga Hoho has become like a deadwood and except working tediously for some particular groups and section only.It has lost all its meaning and significance for which it was formed originally.

The Naga Hoho must earnestly have a thorough soul searching why the ENPO walked out of it or the NTC emerged. If our other Naga brothers in Manipur state or elsewhere can form an organization why not we Nagas of Nagaland? If some group of tribes can come together for social cohesiveness or for solidarity, fraternity and unity, then why cannot the CNTC? On the Naga Hoho statement “Our valued federating units who are trying to tarnish the image of the Naga Hoho through undemocratic and unethical means shows only their lack of farsightedness” signifies the Naga Hoho undermining the wisdom and sanity of the Aos, Lothas and Sumis. It shows their blatant disregard and an insult on the intelligence and the judgment of the three apex bodies comprising the CNTC. The CNTC being now an apex body of the three tribes,viz.the Aos , Lothas and the Sumis have every right to direct its subordinate units.

When the CNTC deadline which expired on the 31st Aug.2016 was made known public in the local media and also an official copy of the ultimatum was handed over at the residence of the Naga Hoho president by a CNTC executive, denying it never received any official information is totally baseless and a lie. The Naga Hoho trying to salvage its image and calling a federal assembly on Sept.28th after a lapse of nearly one month when the deadline was already over was a total disregard to the sentiments of Nagas of Nagaland.

Requesting its federating units, the Ao Senden and the Sumi Hoho to attend the assembly to discuss the Rongmei Issue

was like bolting the stable doors only after all the horses has left. The fable of the snake biting the hand of the hands of a man who revived him while dying depicts the story of the Naga Hoho today. Naga Hoho is on the verge of disintegration due to its own folly and immaturity in mishandling the Rongmei issue in the first place. Even before the CNTC took up the Rongmei recognition issue some other tribal organisations of Nagaland such as the APO, CPO,ENPO ,ZPO and NTC were already against it. So how can the Naga Hoho say the CNTC is misleading the Nagas? This clearly shows that the Naga Hoho has been completely unaware of what was happening and sleeping while its own kitchen was burning.

The CNTC would like to refresh the mind of the Naga Hoho by stating the following facts and details on this issue.

1.Concurring with the stand of other Naga tribes of Nagaland, the Angami Public Organisation(APO) on July 3,2013 has urged upon the chief minister Nagaland to issue notification to derecognize the Rongmei community as a recognized indigenous inhabitant Naga tribe of Nagaland and also “to put an end to the move to recognize Mao Community as an Indigenous Inhabitant Tribe of Nagaland State for the sake of justice, Naga unity, integration and simultaneously to protect the welfare of the public of Nagaland.”

In a representation addressed to the chief minister, APO president Keneingunyü Sekhose, informed that in view of the apprehension felt on the issue, the APO at its April 29 executive meeting decided, that opening of the door for recognition of other Naga tribes from other states(or country) would lead to demand by other Naga tribes of similar background such as Maos, Poumais, Tangkhuls, Hemis etc.

APO said if recognition

was accorded as an inhabitant tribe of Nagaland, there cannot be stopping of similar demands by Naga tribes outside Nagaland and denying such would “ amount to discrimination.”

APO also pointed to apprehension by Nagas of Nagaland, that they would be “overwhelmed and stampeded” if recognition was granted to others, as in the case with the Rongmeis in the last recruitment of Graduate Teachers of 2012 in Peren district.

Further, APO also cited the case of Withuiliu Newmai, of Tamenglong district of Manipur who obtained indigenous inhabitant Naga tribe/ BT certificate of Zeliang tribe of Nagaland state, and was recommended by NPSC against Deputy SP post reserved for BT quota of Zeliang tribe of Nagaland.

APO said the issue of indigenous inhabitant certificates, BT certificates etc. has created a lot of animosity, hatred and ill feelings among the Nagas.

Stating that till date, all Nagas hailing from different states and regions enjoy equal social Naga tribal status without any discrimination or distinction within the state of Nagaland, APO said the question of modification of the notifications of April 28,1977 by granting status to other Naga tribe as indigenous inhabitant Naga tribal status of Nagaland state was matter of great concern.

It viewed that an individual member of a particular tribe having immovable property or having resided in the state over a considerable length of time, did not qualify his tribe to be recognized as an indigenous inhabitant Naga tribe of Nagaland.

APO also reminded the disclosure made by Rongmei Council Nagaland while clarifying to the press statement of Western Sumi Hoho “that there is no Rongmeis land in Peren

district till date.”

Furthermore, APO also highlighted the Gauhati High Court direction on November 22, 2012 which stated-as members of Rongmei Community did not appear in the Electoral Roll published on May 15, 1963 and also they did not fulfill the other conditions stipulated in the notification dated April 28, 1977 for issue of indigenous inhabitant certificate, indigenous inhabitant certificates are not to be issued to Rongme community.

In light of above submissions, APO has urged for creation of a strong mechanism to check and prevent misuse of indigenous inhabitant certificate while stating that it has created a lot of animosity, hatred and ill feelings among the Nagas.

2. Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organization (ENPO) has resolved to oppose the inclusion/recognition of Mao and Rongmei tribes in Nagaland.

In a statement, ENPO president Pongom Khiam said the decision was taken during the ENPO executive committee meeting held on May 4, 2013.

The meeting also resolved to seek appropriate clarifications from the state government with regard to the recognition of the two tribes in Nagaland.

Pongom Khiam said the meeting was attended by elected members from the ENPO jurisdictions (ENLU), ENPO officials, all frontal organizations (ENSF, ENGOA and ENWO), members of various committees and federating tribal units. ENPO however said it supported the bills for integration of Naga inhabited areas which have also been passed by the state Assembly which incorporated integration of land along with the people. The same were passed by both the Congress and DAN governments.

AAP seeks disqualification of 35 BJP, Cong MLAs in 4 states

Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodiya talking to the media after meeting President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi on Friday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): An Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) delegation today met President Pranab Mukherjee seeking disqualification of 35 BJP and Congress MLAs appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries in four states, and asserted that its 21 legislators were being targeted for political reasons over the office of profit issue.

A delegation, led by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Delhi Ministers Gopal Rai and Kapil Mishra and party leader Ashutosh, said while 21 AAP MLAs are facing disqualification

proceedings, similar set of rules should be applied to 35 BJP and Congress legislators, appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries in Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

Sisodia said 11 MLAs in Chhattisgarh and Gujarat each and four in Haryana -- all BJP ruled states -- and nine in Himachal Pradesh, a Congress-governed state, have been appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries.

In his petition to the President, Sisodia has said the appointment of these Chief Parliamentary Secre-

taries/Parliamentary Secretaries are “prima facie in violation in letter and spirit of the Constitution of India” as they are getting salaries, allotted VIP vehicles and other perks for which ministers in these states are entitled.

“It is very pertinent to bring to your notice that the financial condition of these states is bleeding.

“Therefore, it is respectfully prayed that these MLAs, who are holding office of profit in addition to being MLAs should be immediately disqualified,” Sisodia said in his memorandum to the President.

He said, contrary to this, the AAP MLAs are not enjoying any kind of pecuniary gains.

“We seek similar treatment to these 29 MLAs as our legislators are being targeted for political reasons,” Sisodia said.

21 AAP MLAs are facing disqualification for allegedly holding ‘Office of Profit’, following a petition filed by Prashant Patel, a city-based lawyer.

Rai denied giving any kind of accommodation or office to 21 AAP MLAs. “In our reply to the Election Commission on issue of Office of Profit, we said that we had requested the PWD to make offices for few people.

“However, offices were readied, but those were not given to Parliamentary Secretaries. Instead, it was given to OSDs (Officer on Special Duty) to Parliamentary Secretaries,” Rai said.

nATIONAL/STATE Uri attack: MPs raise issue of ‘intelligence failure’ NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Some lawmakers today raised the issue of alleged intelligence failure in connection with the terror attack at the Army camp in Uri at a meeting of a Parliamentary panel held here today.

The issue was raised by a few MPs at the meeting of the Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, headed by Congress leader P Chidambaram. However, Chidambaram is said to have intervened and conveyed to the Parliamentarians that the issue of Uri terror attack was not on the agenda of the meeting hence it should not be raised, official sources said.

(From p-1) He said Gaidinliu had to undergo untold sufferings since her childhood and had silently, with a patriotic zeal, suffered 14 years of imprisonment only to be released in 1947 after India became independent. Acharya recalled that he along with his family had the fortune to personally meet Gaidinliu in 1967, while she was under house arrest in Kohima. Acharya stated that his association with Gaidinliu inspired him to publish her first biography in the year 1989.

The governor said he was convinced that naming of the IPV after Rani Ma Gaidinliu was in recognition of her contribution towards the Indian freedom struggle and as a gratitude to the freedom fighters of the North East India.

In Kanpur, Shah takes swipe at Akhilesh, attacks Mayawati

Amit Shah at the launch of Dham Chetna Yatra in Kanpur, UP on Friday. (PTI) KANPUR, OCT 14 (PTI): Taking a swipe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, BJP President Amit Shah today said he cannot be expected to run the state when he cannot handle his extended family and also attacked BSP chief Mayawati over her and her brother’s alleged corruption.

Speaking at the conclusion of Buddhist monk Bhikhu Dhammavir yo’s Dhamma Chetna yatra, which was backed by BJP and seen as an attempt to dent Dalit support base of Mayawati, he asked her to declare her and her brother’s current assets and how much they were when BSP founder Kanshi Ram had declared her as his successor.

Shiv Sena pitches for Re-examine Rongmei issue, Municipal Act: Naga bodies to CM second term for Pranab seeking success even in parliamentary forms, it added.

On taxation: Referring to various sections of the Municipal Act on “multiple taxation or different forms of taxes”, NH was clear “it will be contested strongly by the Nagas against the traditional and the conventional usage of taxation in our land”.

It said imposition and collection of tax on land and building, as a form of revenue generating source for its duties and functions would only do more harm to the Naga society in the present scenario.

Land holding system: The Hoho said uniqueness of the Nagas from Indians can be largely attributed to the land holding system and the ownership of land Though the government has absolute owner of the land all over India, having absolute authority on how to use and develop, however in the case of Nagaland, the hoho said it need not explain how the government’s sincere desire to deliver developmental activities are being stalled because of the land owners.

Nevertheless, it said “the bride of the individual Nagas in having the authority to judiciously use and develop his

NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Ruling NDA constituent Shiv Sena today pitched for a second term for President Pranab Mukherjee even as the Congress said the party high command will take a call on it.

Sena leader Sanjay Raut said he will meet Mukherjee next week, insisting he has proved to be “best President” and that nobody can doubt his capabilities. “In the last five years, he has shown that he is a capable and a noncontroversial President, who is well-versed in national and international affairs,” Raut, Shiv Sena’s leader in the Rajya sabha, said.

“We will let you know.

We don’t know what Shiv Sena has said. The party high command has to take a call on this,” Congress spokesperson Shobha Oza said when asked whether her party will back Mukherjee, a former Congressman, for a second term.

Asked whether the Shiv Sena, which is a key constituent of the BJP-led NDA and the oldest ideological ally of the saffron party, would appeal to other parties for backing Mukherjee for a second term, Raut said, it is a decision which only party chief Uddhav Thackeray can take.

“Uddhav Thackeray too has a

land should not discarded”.

“Land in Nagaland belongs to an individual, family or clan. Land owners do not give an opportunity to land grabbers are the positive glaring realities when an individual/ family/ clan are the owners.” NH stated.

Considering the peculiarity of the land holding system in Nagaland, the hoho opined that the government needed to understand the basic and unique forms of land ownership and focus on amending the contents which contravenes or infringes the rights of the Nagas.

Based on the abovementioned issues, the hoho said “we can arrive at the conclusion how our rights are consolidated with this particular Act, which requires a review for amendments accordingly acceptable to all the Nagas as empowered to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly under Art. 371(A)”.

NH cautioned the government that in the event of failure to amend the Municipal Act and to hold ULBs elections without proper consultations, unwarranted situation could arise which would widen the division among various sections of the society.

lot of respect and affection for Pranab Mukherjee,” he said.

Raut, who is the executive editor of Shiv Sena’s mouthpeice Saamna, said, “Just like his party appreciated the surgical strikes by the armed forces and congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, similarly, we are appreciating the good work of the President.”

The comments from Raut, Shiv Sena’s most visible public face, come at a time when the party’s ties with BJP, with which it shares power both in Maharashtra and at the Centre, are under strain.

During run-up to the Presidential polls, Mukherjee had visited Matoshree, the residence of the Thackerays, to garner support for his candidature. The Sena, under Bal Thackeray’s leadership, had broken ranks with BJP to support Mukherjee’s presidential candidature in 2012.

Mukherjee’s current term ends on July 25 next year and, according to reports, the Rashtrapati Bhawan has approached the government to find a suitable accommodation for him in Lutyen’s bungalow zone.

Ultimatum for Longleng polytechnic (From p-1) Accordingly, the signatories said governor of Nagaland constituted an independent committee headed by secretary land revenue as convenor to examine the matter on July 15, 2016.

They said the committee inspected the side at four locations -- Orangkong, Yongnyah, Bhumnyu and Hukphang -- along with the district administration and submitted report to the state government on August 18, 2016.

In the report, the signatories said the committee stressed that due consideration should be taken for the convenience of all, such as, students, teachers, staffs, parents and other logistics and accordingly, recommended two sites -- Hukphang or Orangkong -- for establishing polytechnic in Longleng district.

However, they said the state government on October 7, 2016 vide order No. HTE/ TE/20-10/2016 “once again” approved the site at Yonghoo Yongnyah, which was not recommended in the independence committee report and also rejected and protested by many organizations and public in general.

In the light of the above, the 20 villages union has questioned why has the state government not considered the report submitted by the independent committee?

They further asked “what is the proposed of setting up of committee to examine the sites? What is the motive behind all above exercises?”

Wo o i n g D a l i t s, h e claimed only BJP works for their development while they are harassed when Samajwadi Party is in power and exploited when BSP rules.

The policies of the Modi government are aimed at the welfare of Dalits, backwards and the poor, he said, highlighting its move to develop places associated with Dalit icon B R Ambedkar.

“What did SP, BSP and Congress do for Ambedkar and seven places associated with him? BSP government was formed to implement policies for the welfare of Dalits, backwards and the poor. But what happened?

They remained where they were but assets of Mayawati multiplied many times.

“Mayawati should say how much were her and her brother’s assets when Kashi Ram declared her as his successor and how much are they now. Dalits will get to know her reality if she does so,” he told a public meeting.

He also targeted the ruling Samajwadi Party over alleged corruption and poor law and order while taking potshots at Akhilesh over the feud in the ruling Yadav clan.

“Someone who cannot handle his family cannot be expected to handle the state.

Samajwadi Party cannot deal with the state’s poor law and order,” he said, asserting that only BJP is capable of developing Uttar Pradesh.

For smooth implementation, Kruse urged the consumers to contact SDO or EE for any “genuine” complaints so their grievances would be redressed, instead of directly publishing the shortcoming to media.

On the occasion, the chief engineer announced that Kohima Urban division was the best performing division in terms of revenue collection out of 14 department’s divisions in the state. He said Kohima division has set a target of Rs. 80 lakh revenue for this year.

NEW DELHI, OCT 14 (PTI): Actor-turned politician Roopa Ganguly, who had played the role of the mythological character Draupadi in the hit television series Mahabharat, today took oath as Rajya Sabha MP. Besides Ganguly, BJP leader L Ganeshan was also administered oath as Rajya Sabha MP by Chairman Hamid Ansari here.

While Ganguly, who had unsuccessfully contested Bengal assembly elections on BJP ticket, was nominated to the Rajya Sabha, Ganeshan became MP from Madhya Pradesh.

“It is a huge responsibility and I will abide by rule and regulations of the Rajya Sabha,” Ganguly told PTI after oath-taking ceremony.

“I will do whatever is possible according to the Constitution of India to help in the endeavour to make our country a developed nation,” she said Asked whether she

would raise women related issues, the nominated MP said, “I am from Bengal. I have got the responsibility to do something.”

When pointed out that BJP does not have much presence in Bengal, Ganguly said, “There are always ways to look at things.”

Describing the condition of BJP workers in the state, she said, “Unless you see it with your own eyes you will not believe it. It is very important to raise proper issues.”

Referring to India’s unity in diversity, Ganeshan said, “Alag bhasa alag desh lekin Bharat ek sesh (Different languages different regions but India is one country.”

Ganguly was nominated by President Pranab Mukherjee to the seat vacated by cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, who resigned recently following differences with the BJP leadership.

(From p-1) Article 371(A) of the Indian Constitution— “a political creation which reiterates the fact that Nagas have their own inherent and inalienable rights which cannot be challenged even in the parliament of India”.

Amongst the various contents of the said Act, NH pointed out that the following points were in direct contravention with rights guaranteed under Article 371(A): (i) 33% women reservation, (ii) Tax and (iii) Landholding system.

On women reservation: The hoho said it stood unwaveringly with its constituent units in reiterating the time immemorial social, customary and traditional usages of the While reminding that Nagas had never practised such “reservation” since the days of our forefathers, Naga Hoho asserted that the state government “should not compare our Naga women folks to a Dalit, Adivasis, Sutras, Kaas women etc.”

The reservation policy of the Government of India was meant for mainstream Indian women who were within the cursed spell of the caste system, widely prevalent all across India, NH said. It rather said that the Naga women, as compared to other Indian women, play a vital role in all spheres of the Naga community.

NH further reminded the state government that, while the Indian society woke up to gender equality in early eighties, Nagas testified by electing late Rano Shaiza to the lone Lok Sabha seat in 1977. It was clear that there was no stopping for any Naga capable women in our community

N ew D elhi , O c t 1 4 (IANS): The central government has decided to use postal network for distribution of subsidized pulses and release more chana from buffer stock to ensure availability of these commodities at reasonable prices during the ongoing festival season.

The decisions were taken at a meeting of the Inter Ministerial Committee on prices of essential commodities headed

by Union Consumer Affairs Secretary Hem Pande here on Friday, an official source said.

The committee at its meeting also reviewed availability and prices of essential commodities, specially pulses, and suggested that in the absence of government outlets in the states, postal networks should be used for the pulses’ distribution.

The committee observed that there were declining trends in the prices of pulses in recent weeks. It also reviewed procurement arrangements of Kharif pulses by government agencies, an official release said.

It was informed that so far 500 procurement centres have been opened and farmers were being paid through cheques or bank transfer instantly.

NEW DELHI, Oct 14 (PTI): Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Friday said its consortium with Japan’s Sojitz Corp has won a Rs 3,799 crore railway contract. The Transportation Infrastructure Business of L&T Construction has “won a major order worth Rs 3,799 crore from the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd (DFCCIL)”, the company said in a statement.

The order has been secured by a consortium of L&T Ltd and Sojitz Corp, Japan, it said, adding that this design and build integrated package involves the construction of track works, overhead electrification, traction substations and signaling & telecom works.

The project is for double

including those relating to real estate and hospitality projects, and the subsequent alleged non-payment of returns to investors.

The matter had also escalated into a huge political controversy, resulting into probe by various investigative and enforcement agencies including Sebi.

In an order passed Friday, Sebi has imposed a penalty of Rs 2 crore on Saradha Realty India Ltd, its Managing Director Sudipta Sen and directors Hemanta Pradhan and Monoj Kumar Nagel.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said these entities had failed to comply with the directions issued by it and carried on as an unregistered CIS. According to the regula-

economy influenced trading sentiment here.

“Market was not cheered even though the CPI inflation cooled to 4.31 per cent as the mixed start to the quarter results did not comfort investors.

Global market rebounded with the positive inflation data from China, while the investors are eyeing Friday’s commentary from Fed chair for any cues in rate hike trajectory,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services, said.

The 30-share barometer opened positive at 27,712.22 and advanced to 27,763.54 but profit-booking at higher levels, shed most grounds to settle the session 30.49 points, or 0.11 per cent, higher at 27,673.60.

Intra-day, it touched a low of 27,548.18.

The gauge had plunged 439.23 points in Thursday’s trade after a slew of global factors such as weak Chinese export data and Fed rate hike talks unnerved investors.

On similar lines, the NSE Nifty rose 10.05 points, or 0.12 per cent, at 8,583.40 after shuttling between 8,604.45 and 8,549.80.

However, for the week, the Sensex dropped 387.54 points, or 1.38 per cent, while NSE Nifty lost 114.20 points, or 1.31 per cent.

MUMBAI, Oct 14 (PTI): Lower inflation data coupled with revived global sentiment helped benchmark Sensex bounce back after Thursday’s steep fall and end 30 points higher at 27,673.60 in a choppy trade Friday, but gains were restricted by a mixed start of the earnings season.

Infosys stock fell 2.34 per cent even as the company reported a 6.1 per cent rise in its second quarter net profit but cut its annual revenue growth forecast for the second time in three months on an “uncertain business outlook”.

While, shares of country’s largest software exporter TCS Friday surged 1.61 per cent to Rs 2,365.90 after the company Thursday reported an 8.4 per cent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 6,586 crore for the second quarter ended September 30. Investor sentiment received a boost after retail inflation fell to a 13-month low of 4.31 per cent and wholesale inflation at 3.57 per cent, creating headroom for further rate cuts by Reserve Bank in coming months.

Economic affairs secretary Shaktikanta Das said: “They’re (NDB) looking at the possibility of floating a rupee bond in India. They’re already in discussion with us and the Reserve Bank. That’s one instrument of hedging the currency risk.”

The Asian Development Bank, he said, has already established the efficacy of such an option by raising money at a competitive coupon of under 6.5 per cent.

For want of the presence of officers, trade shall not suffer, we shall attend to it,” she said.

Conceding that taxation was a key issue hampering exports’ growth, Sitharaman said: “Exporters cannot be taxed for exporting.”

Emphasising that simplification of taxation was the government’s top agenda, she said: “We are trying to simplify, since it involves many states, we are also making sure that we take them on board.”

On the issue of trade imbalance with China, the minister said: “We have highlighted that the imbalance is not because of our industry’s lack of competitiveness, but access is not being made available to us.

“China has been requested that they have to be a lot more open to receive Indian institutions which go there to do business.”

Thai King’s body arrives at the Grand Palace Israel freezes ties with Unesco

Ba n g ko k , O c t 1 4 (Agencies): Thousands of Thai people have packed the streets of Bangkok to see a convoy carrying the body of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

His body was taken through the capital to the royal palace as mourners wept and held up portraits of the late king.

Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn has been named as successor, but has asked for a delay in the process.

The death of the world’s longest-reigning monarch sparked an outpouring of grief in Thailand.

Official mourning will last a year. The cabinet declared Friday a government holiday, and flags are to fly at half-mast for the next 30 days.

People have been asked to wear black, and avoid “joyful events” during this period.

Cinema screenings, concerts and sports events have been cancelled or postponed.

News websites have turned their pages black and white, and all television channels in Thailand are airing programmes about the king’s life.

The crown prince travelled in the convoy carrying the king’s body, which will lie at a temple in the royal palace while people pay their respects.

It could be months be-

failed to speak out against human rights abuses.

The crown prince, who is 64, is much less well known to Thais and has not attained his father’s widespread popularity. He spends much of his time overseas, especially in Germany.

While the Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has said the crown prince will ascend the throne next, there is uncertainty over when that will happen after the prince asked for a delay in succession.

Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda, a 96year-old former prime minister, has been named acting regent in line with the constitution.

He remains as regent until the Thai assembly invites the heir to succeed to the throne, the Bangkok Post reported.

Strict lese-majeste laws protect the most senior members of Thailand’s royal family from insult or threat. Public discussion of the succession can be punishable by lengthy jail terms.

Given the pivotal role the king has played in maintaining the balance of power in Thailand’s volatile political environment, the succession will be a formidable challenge for the government, says the BBC’s Jonathan Head in Bangkok.

The hilltop site called ‘Dome of the Rock’ in Jerusalem is sacred to both Jews and Muslims. (Source-Internet) Jerusalem, Oct 14 (Agencies): Israel has frozen co-operation with the UN’s cultural agency, accusing it of denying Judaism’s connections to the religion’s holiest sites.

Its education minister said a Unesco draft decision concerning Jerusalem “denies history and encourages terror”.

It comes after the body approved a text which repeatedly used only the Islamic name for a hilltop complex which is also the holiest site in Judaism.

The site is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and Haram al-Sharif to Muslims.

The draft decision, submitted by seven Arab countries, criticises Israel’s activities at holy places in Jerusalem

and the occupied West Bank.

While acknowledging the “importance of the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls for the three monotheistic religions”, the document refers to the sacred hilltop only by the name “al-Aqsa Mosque/al-Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary).

It is the location of two Biblical Jewish temples and is joined by the Western Wall, venerated by Jews as part of the original supporting wall of the temple compound.

Haram al-Sharif is also the place where Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven, and is the third holiest site in Islam.

The stated aim of the text was “the safeguarding of the cultural heritage of Palestine and the distinctive charac-

ter of East Jerusalem”.

It repeatedly denounced Israeli actions, including the use of force, imposition of restrictions on Muslim worshippers and archaeological work.

Israel regards such criticism as politically motivated.

The draft text was passed at committee stage by 24 votes in favour, six against, and 26 abstentions. Two countries were absent. It will now be submitted to Unesco’s executive body, which will vote on whether to adopt it.

‘Delusional decision’ Education Minister Naftali Bennett said Unesco was ignoring “thousands of years of Jewish ties to Jerusalem” and aiding “Islamist terror”.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a Facebook post that Unesco had become a “theatre of the absurd” in taking “another delusional decision”.

“To say that Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is like saying that China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or that Egypt has no connection to the pyramids. By this absurd decision, Unesco has lost what little legitimacy it had left.”

The move was also condemned by Jewish organisations around the world, including the World Jewish Congress, which called it an “inflammatory, one-sided decision”.

fore the late king’s cremation.

“This is the worst loss in my life,” said one of those lining the streets.

Later on Friday, the Crown Prince will conduct the bathing ceremony of the king’s body, a traditional Thai Buddhist funeral rite.

The king had been ill for a long time. When news of his death was announced on Thursday evening, many in the large crowds outside the hospital where he died broke down.

King Bhumibol was

widely respected across Thailand, and thought of by many as semi-divine. He earned the devotion of Thais for his efforts to help the rural poor, such as agricultural development projects, and works of charity.

The monarch was also seen as a stabilising figure in a country often wracked by political turmoil.

Thailand remains under military rule following a coup in 2014.

The country has suffered from political violence and

upheaval over the past decade, as well as a long-running Muslim separatist insurgency in the southern provinces which sees regular small-scale bomb attacks.

Though a constitutional monarch with limited official powers, many Thais looked to King Bhumibol to intervene in times of high tension. He was seen as a unifying and calming influence through numerous coups and 20 constitutions.

However, his critics argued he had endorsed military takeovers and at times had

Lahore, Oct 14 (PTI): Eight al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists, who were plotting to target atomic installations and offices of intelligence agencies, were killed by Pakistani security forces in the country’s relatively peaceful Punjab province, officials said today.

Punjab police’s Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) said their officials were working on intelligence input that militants were planning to attack a Shia procession near Multan district, about 350 kilometres from Lahore.

CTD officials and other security agencies conducted combing operations in Shujaabad area of the district.

During these operations, the CTD team learnt that the militants belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and al-Qaeda had moved to Dera Ghazi Khan. “ Ye s t e r d ay, w h e n a CTD team raided the suspects’ hideout in Dera Ghazi Khan the terrorists opened fire and hurled hand-grenades.

The CTD team retaliated in self-defence. When the firing stopped, eight terrorists were found dead,” it said. Three militants managed to escape.

nouncing to destroy HFC-23, a super greenhouse gas, in its all five HCFC-22 plants operating in the country. HFC-23 is as a by-product of HCFC-22 production.

India would not change its position on key contentious issues including baseline, freeze year schedule, sources said.

India is in favour of having two different HFC phasedown schedule for developing countries -- one for China and whoever else wants to join China and other for the remaining developing countries.

China is currently the world’s largest producer of HFCs and consumes 20 times more than India.

India has agreed to consider preponing the baseline to 2025 and 2026 and cut HFC consumption by 10 per cent by 2032, if developed countries agree to freeze their HFC consumption by 2016 and reduce HFC consumption by 70 per cent by 2026 or 2027.

Ankara, Oct 14 (Agencies): Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said victory in Aleppo will make the city a “springboard” from which to retake the rest of the country.

In an interview with a Russian newspaper, Mr Assad said there was no choice but to “keep cleaning this area” and force rebels “back” to Turkey.

Syria and its ally Russia have stepped up bombardment of rebel-held eastern Aleppo in recent weeks. Meanwhile a bomb attack near Syria’s border with Turkey has left many dead. At least 17 people, mainly rebels of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), were killed in the car bomb blast at a rebel checkpoint near Azaz in the northern province of Aleppo, activists and monitors said. No group has yet said it carried out the attack. Earlier this month, so-called Islamic State (IS) killed at least 29 people, most of them Islamist rebel fighters, in a bombing at the rebelcontrolled Atmeh crossing, in Idlib province to the west. Azaz sits between territory controlled

by Syrian Kurdish forces to its

Bashar al-Assad west and by IS to its east. In a lengthy interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, President Assad said retaking Aleppo could help him win the war. “It’s going to be the springboard, as

a big city, to move to another areas, to liberate another areas from the terrorists,” he said, referring to the rebels. “You have to keep cleaning this area and to push the terrorists to Turkey, to go back to where they come from or to kill them. There’s no other option,” he said.

Turkey is a key backer of rebel groups, along with Western powers and Gulf states.

In August, Turkish forces crossed into Syria in an ongoing operation to push Kurdish fighters and IS away from its border.

Mr Assad branded Turkey’s actions an “invasion, against international law, against the morals, against the sovereignty of Syria”.

She pointed to the fact Tusk had also said that Brexit talks should be approached in good faith.

“That is the sort of spirit the prime minister wants to encourage and foster with other European partners, that we approach this constructively,” she added.

“There are opportunities both for the UK and for the EU with the decision to leave and so we now need to come together, work together effectively to agree on a new arrangement, a new relationship that can work in the interests of all of us.”

May plans to have held substantive bilateral meetings with all 27 other EU leaders by the time she attends a European Council meeting in mid-December, the spokeswoman added. She has already met 15 since taking office in July.

May will also attend an annual meeting of Britain’s ambassadors to the other 27 EU countries in London on Friday to hear their views and to set out the importance of strong bilateral relations with EU partners.

New character marks Winnie- Jr. Gospel Voice Hunt S-3 AOK to organize Magnum Opus A A the-Pooh’s 90th anniversary

F

our new adventures have been published to mark the 90th anniversary of the first Winniethe-Pooh book, along with the introduction of a new character.

Penguin makes his grand entrance in the book Winter: In which Penguin arrives in the Forest, written by Brian Sibley.

The character is based on a photograph of Pooh author AA Milne and his son Christopher playing with

a penguin.

Winnie-the-Pooh was first published on 14 October 1926, and went on to achieve worldwide popularity.

Introducing a new character to the world of Winniethe-Pooh is nothing new.

Although now considered very much a part of the Hundred Acre Wood story, the character of Tigger was not seen until The House at Pooh Corner (1928), the second of AA Milne’s books about “the bear with very

little brain”.

And by introducing Penguin, Sibley has rekindled a friendship which first began in Christopher Milne’s (aka Christopher Robin) nursery more than 90 years ago.

Sibley said: “While pondering what other toys Christopher Robin might have owned, but which were never written about, I remembered seeing a photograph of father and son playing on the nursery floor with Winnie-thePooh and a penguin!”

“The thought of Pooh encountering a penguin seemed no more outlandish than him meeting a kangaroo and a tiger in a Sussex wood, so I started thinking about what might have happened if, on a rather snowy day, Penguin had found his way to Pooh Corner,” said Sibley.

By taking inspiration from the real-life childhood nursery toys of Christopher Milne (aka Christopher Robin) Sibley is in good company.

fter the success of Junion Gospel Voice Hunt season-1 and 2, the organizers have informed to hold the second season for which registrations has begun.

THE VERSATILE VOICE SEASON 1 (The V2)

Tom Waits on Bob Dylan’s 25 Wedding Anniversary Nobel: ‘No Voice is Greater’ th

Audition for the Versatile Voice Season 1 will be held on 2nd Nov, 2016 at Happy's Grooming Corner 5th Mile, near Sumi Baptist Church, Diphupar-B after 11:00 am onwards, the organizers have informed.

Total Cash Prize of the show is 2 lacs with 1 year, 6 months and 3 months free music training for the 3 winners and 2 finalists at Happy's Grooming Corner. Also promising platforms and opportunities for the finalists.

T

om Waits paid tribute to Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize in Literature honor in the most Tom Waitsian way possible on Thursday night (Oct. 13). In a rare tweet, the often inscrutable songwriter (and his musical and life collaborator wife Kathleen) congratulated the 75-year-old rock icon with a sweet, typically cryptic missive.

“It’s a great day for Literature and for Bob when a Master of its original form is celebrated,” Waits wrote.

“Before epic tales and poems were ever written down, they migrated on the winds of the human voice and no voice is greater than Dylan’s.”

Waits joined a raft of fellow musicians and luminaries -- including Bruce Springsteen -- who lauded Dylan for receiving the award, the first to a musician in the 115-year history of the Nobels. Dylan, however, reportedly didn’t mention the news during a show on Thursday night in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan.

Online audition begins and the last date will be 27th of Oct. 2016. So aspirant contestants can whatapp your audio (without music) in this number 8974638691 (Specially for other districts)

Madonna Is Billboard’s 2016 Woman of the Year

W

hen the 11th annual Billboard Women In Music event hits New York City this winter, royalty will be present.

Following a year where she extended her record as the highest-grossing female touring artist of all time, Madonna will receive Billboard’s 2016 Woman of the Year award.

“Madonna is one of a miniscule number of superartists whose influence and career transcend music,” said Janice Min, president and chief creative officer of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group. “With her creative vision, relentless innovation, and dedication to philanthropic causes, she is an inspiration to hundreds of millions of people around the world, all while shattering every career record out there.

She is an important feminist on top of that, a one-of-a-kind artist who’s used her influence to change the conversation around women, sexuality and equal rights.”

From her Prince tribute alongside Stevie Wonder at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards to her political Met Gala appearance to her indelible commentary on the 2016 election, Madonna has remained a constant force in pop culture and source of cultural conversation over the past year.

Her Rebel Heart Tour, which wrapped in March, solidified her status as one of the biggest touring acts of all time. Madonna sold more than 1 million tickets and walked away with $170 million. That K

Y M C

makes her the highest grossing solo touring artist in Billboard Boxscore history (the archives go back to 1990) with a staggering $1.31 billion in total concert grosses.

In addition to being the first female pop star with true control of her career and image, Madonna is the best-selling female recording artist of all time. She’s earned 8 No. 1 albums (and 21 top 10 albums) on the Billboard 200 and 12 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With her 46th No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart in 2015, she extended her own record for the most No. 1s on a single Billboard chart. She also holds the record for the most top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with 38.

Through this column, we the parents of the participants from Queen Mary Higher Secondary School, in the Mokokchung District Martial Arts Association Silver Jubilee Tournament held on 10th & 11th Oct’16 would like to express our gratitude to their instructor Mr. Subongmeren (International Karate Federation) for his zealous efforts.

cies): European countries will not be able to host the 2026 World Cup because of Fifa’s rotational policy.

It means the previous two host confederations - Europe in 2018 and Asia in 2022 - are barred from bidding.

The 2026 tournament could involve 40 or 48 nations after world governing body Fifa agreed to study in greater detail the options to expand the tournament from its 32team format.

The proposals will be made at Fifa’s next meeting on 9 January 2017.

“The feeling amongst the council is rather positive towards expansion,” said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

Infantino took charge of Fifa in February and one of his election promises was to increase the number of teams at the World Cup finals to 40.

However, this month the 46-year-old Italian proposed upping that to 48 countries, with 32 taking part in a preliminary knockout round in the host country and the winners joining 16 seeded teams in the group stages.

There are four options for the 2026 tournament: Keep the existing 32-

Critics have expressed concerns over potentially weakening the quality of football at the finals.

Former England striker and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker said Fifa presidents should “do the right things for the game rather than stuff to get re-elected”.

He added on social media: “Come on Mr Infantino!

You have a mandate to look after football’s best interests, not your own. Do not destroy the World Cup! Please.”

But speaking at a Fifa Council meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, Infantino said: “When a team qualifies for the tournament the whole country is in football euphoria.

2ND DEATH ANNIVERSARY

Lt. Ebibeni Murry

In her last days she had continued to remind us of the Lord's faithfulness and mercy. She opened our eyes to see goodness even on her deathbed. She was a woman who inspired, encouraged and most of all prayed for us all.

As a year passed by, we feel a deep void in our lives and yet we were reminded of her last words that she has gone to glory. In that we are forever comforted. We still miss her dearly.

10.05.1982 to 15.10.2014

You have gone from our sight, but never from our memories.

Gone from our touch but never from our hearts.

You are part of our lives and always will be your warmth, your kindness and sweet memories will forever linger in our mind.

We miss you.

Chopra hands Kerala first win

Michael Chopra’s goal gives Kerala Blasters first victory in ISL season 3.

KOCHI, Oct 14 (Agencies): After two seasons and 12 games, Indian origin English striker Michael Chopra finally scored a goal in the Indian Super League to hand Kerala Blasters a much needed victory in ISL 3 defeating Mumbai City FC by a solitary goal at Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, Kochi on Friday.

This was Blasters first victory after nine matches and the first goal in this season. With this win Blasters have four points from as many matches

and are at the sixth position in the points table.

Blasters head coach Steve Coppell’s lack of options in the midfield came into limelight against Mumbai when the Englishman decided to field four defenders and four forwards against the visiting side.

Though the team lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, virtually they played in 4-2-4 with only two defensive midfielders.

Unlike other matches, Blasters started on a positive note and almost scored in the very first

minute itself.

Antonio German did all the good work along the left and gave a cross to Mohammed Rafi, but the local boy’s header went straight into the hands of Mumbai goalkeeper Roberto Volpato.

With the kind of game they played on Friday, the home side should have scored atleast half a dozen goals, but the absence of a solid striker in the front affected their chances.

None of the Blasters forwards including Chopra or Rafi were

able to get past the Mumbai defence led by Romanian Lucian Goian in the first half.

The home side dominated the first half entirely and Mumbai had to wait till the 37th minute to enter into Blasters’ penalty box. Matias Defederico who made a run through the right entered the box but his shot was intercepted by Cedric Hengbart before goalkeeper Sandip Nandy collected the ball.

Second half too was not different as Blasters continued

to put pressure on Mumbai defence. The decisive moment came in the 58th minute as Michael Chopra broke the deadlock.

Though Chopra scored the goal, it was Kervens Belfort who deserved the credit.

The Haiti forward showed his technical brilliance as he passed the ball to Chopra between four Mumbai players from the left of the box. Chopra who was waiting inside the box chipped the ball into the right corner of the net to give Blasters a 1-0 lead.

Mumbai coach Alexandre Borges Guimaraes was quick to respond by making twin substitutions in the 66th minute by introducing Sony Norde and Lalhmangaihsanga Ralte.

The game tur ned to Mumbai’s favour after the substitutions as Norde used his speed to outsmart Blasters defence. Mohammed Rafique who was assigned to mark Norde struggled to match with the Haiti midfielder’s pace which made Norde’s job much easier.

Sensing the danger, Coppell substituted Rafique with Ishfaq Ahmed in the 76th minute and Kashmiri midfielder somehow managed to keep Norde quiet for the remaining 25 minutes.

Though Mumbai kept on attacking through both the wings in the final minutes, the Blasters defence stood tall to deny them from scoring.
