Day 1: NH-29 indefinite bandh peaceful

ed to go ahead with the bandh, refuting the state cabinet’s statement, saying “it had nothing to do with the SIT or the chargesheets to be filed by it, as supposed by the Cabinet”.

They asserted that their demand was for a thorough CBI probe into the whole adulteration racket. Later, with no option left, as CCoFA was firm to go ahead with its proposed bandh, the cabinet during its meeting held on Sunday declared the bandh as “illegal”.

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): It was a bandh with a difference with public being spared while government vehicles barred from plying the NH 29 and oil tankers totally restricted from movement on Monday, the first day of the indefinite bandh on NH 29 called by the Co-cordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA).

The bandh passed off peacefully and without stray incidents mainly since it affected only the National Highway 29 between Dimapur to Kohima.

CCoFA had called for an indefinite phase-wise bandh after expiry of its 15-day ultimatum on the state government for a thorough CBI probe into the fuel adulteration scam during which, the alleged kingpins were arrested and petrol tankers seized including chemicals used for adulterating petrol.

On Monday, CCoFA members and volunteers enforced the ban at New Field Check Gate, Dillai Gate, Chumukedima check point, and in Medziphema town from 6 a.m. CCoFA informed that the volunteers would be manning the checkpoints indefinitely.

With the restriction on movement of oil tankers not only along NH-29, but inside city limits, the state is most likely to experience fuel shortage in the coming days if the bandh continued.

Incidentally, Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang,

whose government had declared the bandh as illegal Sunday, managed to bypass the enforcers on his trip to Kazaringa Monday. It was disclosed that the chief minister halted overnight at his residence in Dimapur on Sunday ostensibly to avoid check points at various portions of the NH-29.

Since the entire route of the highway was not patrolled except the check gates, the chief minister’s entourage took the route to Assam via Burma Camp and through the tea garden road to Khatkhati to evade the New Field Check Gate.

H o w e v e r , C C o FA claimed that the “CM’s evasion was a moral victory, as he could’ve defied the bandh, if he truly viewed it as illegal”.

Few government vehicles were seen plying along NH-29 without number plates. Some vehicles without plates but

with red beacons were reportedly sent back towards Kohima by volunteers located at Patkai Bridge (Chumukedima check gate).

Around 200 volunteers of youth organisations, public and student bodies of Chumukedima area were stationed at Chathe river bridge. Volunteers expressed confidence that they would be able to sustain the bandh indefinitely.

In this regard, volunteers at the bridge informed that they have prepared a rooster for various groups, villages, organisations etc. to take turns to man the checkgate 24x7. They also planned to enhance the number of volunteers from 200 to 500 starting October 20.

Meanwhile, CCoFA members have termed the bandh as “non-violent” and “passive resistance.” They expressed confidence of sustain-

Meanwhile, in order to thwart any untoward incidents, huge posse of security personnel in anti riot gears including women police personnel were stationed at all check points.

It may be mentioned that two days ahead of the bandh (October 15), the state cabinet held an emergency meeting wherein the latter appealed to the committee to withdraw the bandh call, with the assurance that charge sheets would be filed and submitted within the next 10 days.

CCoFA terms cabinet’s decision ‘absurd’

DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): Terming DAN cabinet’s decision as “absurd” to declare the peaceful bandh as illegal, CCoFA raised several questions wanting to know as to how could the bandh be illegal when the public was peacefully protesting against the glaring corruption by the state government?

CCoFA media cell in a press note wanted to know whether the government felt that “calling for a CBI enquiry was a criminal activity? and “under which Act has the government deemed it necessary to declare the peaceful Gandhian protest illegal?, Can the Cabinet pass an order based simply on feelings?, why the Cabinet is so eager to resort to lathi-charge against its own people who are simply protesting against the rampant corruption in the (Cont’d on p-7) State?”

Greed, step motherly treatment stalled SARDP projects: NPCC

KOHIMA, OCT 17 (NPN): Nagaland SSA Teachers Association (NSSATA) and All Nagaland Aggrieved Hindi Teachers Association (ANAHTA) that launched their respective agitations on Monday have affirmed to continue to boycott classes till the state government met their demands.

NSSATA representatives told Nagaland Post that all its units from all district headquarters confirmed boycotting classes. They also said that there were some schools that had been severely affected since majority of the teachers was from SSA. It was informed that a few schools in Noklak subdivision were completely paralyzed since the schools were functioning fully with SSA and Hindi teachers.

Meanwhile, NSSATA 2010-2013, Mokokchung Unit has extended support to NSSATA central body.

Unit president Moakum has asked all the unit members to actively participate in the agitation till the government fulfilled the four-point charter of demands.

Besides, the ANAHTA has also affirmed that till all their pending salaries were released, the agitation would continue across the state. It said all the aggrieved Hindi teachers numbering 1379 from 11 districts participated in the agitation on Monday.

DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on Monday alleged that Special Accelerated Road Development Project (SARDP) roads project in Nagaland were stalled due to greed of NPF and stepmotherly treatment of the Government of India.

NPCC media cell in a press statement, said that roads taken up under SARDP were the most important roads as it covered the district headquarters of Mon, Longleng, Zunheboto and Phek.

However, the above mentioned roads project failed in the state, as prior to 2013 general election, it was rumoured that NPF demanded huge commission from the contractors by assuring that they would revise the estimate, media cell claimed.

So when the revised estimate increased to over 200% and was submitted to government of India, secretary transport, Vijay Chibber, IAS Government of India, ordered the cancellation of the project, in 2013, media cell said.

Subsequently, a PublicInterest Litigation (PIL) was filed by in the Gauhati High Court.

In its judgement, the court had directed the contractors to start work immediately on October 13, 2013.

This was contested by NDA government by filing a Special Leave Petition

(SLP) in the division bench of the Gauhati High Court and the court appointed a commission to verify, NPCC said. However, the division bench of Gauhati High Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition on July 27, 2016 in favour of the work.

“All the Kings and all the Queens of NPF and BJP from Nagaland could not prevail upon the Government of India from filing the SLP in the Supreme Court”, NPCC claimed. So, when the case was heard on October 7, 2016, the Supreme Court in its ruling appointed a Commission to further verify.

In the light of the above, NPCC said that the revision of estimate would not have been necessary had the contractors been given time to work without disturbances.

On the other hand, NPCC said that the transport secretary should have at least ordered verification of the work and revised estimate and could have corrected the revised estimate instead of ordering cancellation of the work order.

“This is purely step motherly action toward the public of Nagaland”, NPCC said.

Therefore, NPCC said unless the Government of India changes its attitude, the case will go on for years and the people of the four districts will continue to suffer without pliable roads.

Assam, Nagaland CMs vow to solve border issue through dialogue Centre directs states to clear DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): Chief Ministers of Nagaland and Assam, on Monday resolved to solve the border issues between the two neighbouring states through dialogue and people to people contact.

Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang told his Assam counterpart Sarbananda Sonowal that the border issues should be solved amicably by the people instead of depending on the Court to pass a judgement, when the two leaders met at Kaziranga, Assam, said CMO media cell in a press statement.

together, and so we must live together in peace and harmony, and progress together,” he said.

However, to achieve this relationship, Zeliang said both sides have to create a human relation in the true spirit of good neighbours. He also suggested that the people living in border areas of Assam should be encouraged to use the facilities of Nagaland such as airport and railway as “their own”. On the protection and preservation of reserved for-

est with border areas of the two states, Zeliang assured to extend fullest cooperation to check the menace of Rhino poaching. On the connectivity of the two states vis-a-vis Act East policy, Zeliang reiterated that the policy can be successful only if the Northeastern States were made active participants in the trade and commerce activities.

In response, Sonowal termed the day as a “historic day for the two states” and said that both the states

should work together for mutual growth and move forward along with the rest of the country. He said that the differences and issues should be mutually addressed in a spirit of goodwill. “Today’s meeting of the two Chief Ministers will send a positive message to the younger generations of both the states, and that people are eagerly awaiting the outcome to the meeting”, said Sonowal.

He also responded positively to Zeliang’s invitation

to attend this year’s Hornbill Festival, saying that several cultural troupes from Assam should participate in Hornbill Festival at Kisama.

Sonowal further suggested setting up of a Committee for border areas consisting of the local MLAs/ MPs and government officials so that petty issues tackled mutually at the local level.

pending MNREGA payments

NEW DELHI, OCT 17 (PTI): The Centre has asked states to clear pending MNREGA wage payments at the earliest to beneficiaries, and cautioned them to avoid diverting funds for other social welfare schemes.

In July this year, the Supreme Court had pulled up the Centre over delay in payments under “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).

Following which, in last few months the Rural Development Ministry repeatedly has asked states to clear the pending payments from available funds.

“You are aware of the fact that the Ministry has been harping on the need to clear the wage liabilities on priority.

In fact it has been clearly stated that the payment of wages ought to be the first charge on funds released to states/UTs from time to time,” the Union Rural Development Ministry has said in a letter written to the states.

Keeping in view the concern of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the advice of the Ministry, you are requested to kindly take appropriate action for clearing all pending wage liabilities at the earliest, the letter added.

According to a source about Rs 100 crore MNREGA wage payments is pending in various states, while Centre has already allocated adequate funds to the states.

The Central government has also sent a team of officials to those states where maximum MNREGA wage payment is pending.

Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), funds are released to the states on the basis of agreed to labour budget and performance of the states.

For ensuring timely payment of wages, the Central government had also started National Electronic Fund Management System (NeFMS) in 11 states.

fail then it would be the failure of the department of cooperation.

She said the department was to guide the cooperative societies towards a sustainable economy and there was a need for the officials to walk an extra mile which would create a great impact to the state’s economy ultimately.

Terming most societies in existence as “subsidy oriented” rather than to bring development and to change situations, she said those people were after “free money and not development”.

She said except one or two societies, no other society has shown any sigh of growth and the growth rate of the state remains somewhere near zero.

Giving an overview of the trainings, Dr. J S Chauhan of (TOPIC) NCDC said that the objective of holding such trainings was to involve the co-operative societies and help them flourish and play a pivotal role in the development of rural economies.

The training on “Developing Cooperatives as Rural Growth Centres” will go on for five days and 35 people are participating in it while the training on “Nurturing Cooperatives as Institutions for Developing Agriculture and Allied Activities” will go on for four days with 35 people participating.

The trainings, which are being conducted by NCDC, TOPIC, Gurgaon would conclude on October 20 and October 21 respectively.

Correspondent/PTI IMPHAL, Oct 17: Amidst the political defection taking place ahead of the Assembly poll in Manipur next year, human right activist turned politician Irom Sharmila Chanu, Monday, announced floating a new regional political party.

While the opposition BJP is busy in rolling red carpets to the Congress politicians who left party and leaders of ruling Congress including the chief minister O Ibobi Singh and his deputy Gaikhangam are in inauguration spree.

On the other hand, Sharmila who ended her nearly 16 years of fasting demanding scrapping of AFSPA to take her struggle forward through electorate politics

said that the stage was all set to float a new political party.

Along with the floating of the new party, names of three persons including herself will be contesting the election even as nominees of the new party will also be declared, she said in an interview with a local cable network on Monday.

She said that she has plans to contest the election from two constituencies.

I will contest the election from Khurai and Thoubal Assembly constituencies,” she said.

Khurai A/C in Imphal East district is her home constituency while Thoubal A/C is the constituency where incumbent chief minister O Ibobi Singh is representing.

Aasu protests move to amend Citizenship Act G u wahat i , O c t 1 7 (IANS): The All Assam Students Union (AASU) on Monday opposed the Centre’s reported move to amend the Citizenship Act and warned of an agitation over the issue.

The students body said it would organise candlelight processions in all district and subdivisional headquarters of Assam on Tuesday.

It would also hold a public meeting in Guwahati on October 22 to chalk out its future course of action.

AASU leader Samujjal Bhattacharyya vowed to intensify the agitation to foil the central government’s move to rehabilitate the Hindu Bangladeshis who entered Assam after 1971. “We want to make it clear to the Assam government and the Centre that the issues of illegal infiltration and foreigners illegally living in Assam must be resolved on the basis of the Assam Accord.” The Assam Accord was signed in 1985 between the central government and leaders of AASU and All

Assam Gana Sangram Parishad.

“As per the accord, all Hindus or Muslims who entered Assam after 1971 must go back,” Bhattacharyya said.

“Assam is already burdened with Bangladeshis who entered the state before 1971.

The Assam Accord was signed after a six-year-long agitation.

The Centre must respect the accord, which is a national commitment,” he said.

He said that not a single Bangladeshi who entered the state after 1971 would be allowed to stay in Assam.

He said along with 28 other civil society organisations of Assam, a mass movement would be started soon to create public opinion against the move to amend the Citizenship Act. “A small state like Assam has already taken the burden of Bangladeshis who entered it before 1971. Not any more.

Assam is not a dustbin to dump illegal Bangladeshis for vote bank politics,” the AASU leader said.

State BJP leaders were already trained on the strategy that was followed by the party in dethroning Congress government in Assam. In Assam, BJP won the elections as it managed to bring the politicians leaving the Congress within the party fold before the Assam Assembly poll.

Two veteran Congress leaders who had resigned as MLAs as well as from the primary membership of the Congress, Nonthongbam Biren and Francis Ngazokpa,

were felicitated on their joining the BJP. They were felicitated with a grand reception function held at the party head office in Imphal’s Nityapat Chuthek near Raj Bhavan in which national BJP leaders including Hemanta Biswas, national general secretary Ram Madhav and Ajay Janwan also attended.

With the two former Congressmen joining the party, state BJP has so far been able to bring three veteran Congress legislators to the party fold besides some former ministers in the Ibobi led Congress government.

State Leaders including Th Chaoba, Bhabananda , Ashinikumar and Premanda along with other state executive members also attended the function.

On the occasion, national BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said that the joining of the two former Congress leaders was the beginning of the downfall of Congress.

Assam’s health and education minister Hemanta Biswas Sharma who is also the convenor of North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), said that BJP was committed for the development of the region.

With confidence, he added that BJP will come to power in Manipur after the 2017 elections.

Former Congress legislator, N Biren said that the “dictatorship style” of Congress leaders and the mis-governance had compelled him to leave the ruling party.

Biren who quitted the Congress and resigned from the post of MLA on October 6, said that he decided to join the BJP for equal development

of every section of Manipuri society and to bridge the existing gap.

Former minister Francis Ngajokpa, who resigned from both MLA and Congress party on October 13 last, said he was joining the BJP as was desired by his workers and supporters who believed that he could work for the welfare of the constituency and the state Earlier, former Congress MLA Dr. Kh Loken and former speaker Budhichandra’s son Dr. Sapam Ranjan, had also joined the BJP after former Congress leader Y Erabot joined the party.

PTI Adds: Two former Cong MLAs join BJP in Manipur Two former Congress MLAs today joined BJP ahead of the upcoming state elections due in early 2017.

The former Congress MLAs, N Biren and Francis Ngajokpa were warmly received by BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav, BJP’s National Democratic Alliance Convenor Himanta Biswa and state party President Bhabananda here.

Ngajokpa had tendered his resignation from the house as well as from the primary membership of the party on October 13 and N Biren on October 6 this year.

Though Ngajokpa maintained that he had resigned from Congress due to the pressure of his voters of Tadubi in Senapati district, N Biren alleged that the present incumbent Ibobi Singh government had failed to bring good governance in the state.

Earlier in September last, veteran Congress MLA, Y Erabot, was the first to resign from the party and join BJP.

VHAA appeals to the GST Council for tax on tobacco G u wahat i , O c t 1 7 (PTI): The Voluntary Health Association of Assam has appealed to the GST Council to recommend a highest possible tax rate under GST with a provision for states’ right to impose top-up taxes on all types of tobacco.

To safeguard public health, discourage consumption and addiction amongst Indians, the VHAA wanted the top-up tax to be imposed on cigarettes, bidis, smokeless tobacco and pan masala.

The NGO’s executive secretary, Ruchira Neog, said, “It has been proven globally that the most direct and effective method for reducing tobacco consumption is to increase their price through tax increases.”

“An increase in tobacco prices by 10 per cent decreases tobacco consumption by 4 per cent in high-income countries and by about 6 per cent in low-and middle-income countries,” it said.

The organisation also stated that the current taxation system differentiates between various forms of tobacco products (such as bidis, smokeless tobacco and cigarettes) while imposing taxes.

It is most critical that ALL tobacco products within GST and under the highest category for demerit or sin products to attract maximum tax, she says.

“Distinguishing tobacco products with different GST rates would inadvertently pass the wrong message that some tobacco products are less harmful than the other,” Neog pointed out.

The result of the MCSCCE 2016 was declared on October 4. According to the candidates, in just the two days since the results were declared, already more than 100 RTIs have been filed.

The candidates have also demanded that the answer scripts be re-evaluated at the earliest. Altogether 1138 candidates appeared in the examination which had eight subjective papers which mean that there were more than 8000 answer scripts altogether.

G U WA H AT I , O c t 1 7 (Agencies): Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh said on Sunday that his government will raise its voice if the state is affected by the Centre’s move to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955.

The newly-constructed Manipur Bhavan at Ulubari will help state government officers as well as people to travel to the city, Okram said.

Next on the cards is a plan to develop the historic Red Land in Shillong with assistance from the North Eastern Council (NEC). “There are some issues with the Shillong Municipal Council. Once it is resolved, we will start on the project,” he said. The Red Land, or Manipuri Rajbari, was once the Manipur Maharajah’s rest house.

MBDPF seeks MHA help for visit to 3 Mizo dist

Aizawl, Oct 17 (PTI): Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), an umbrella organisation of the Bru community lodged in six relief camps in North Tripura district, today urged Ministry of Home Affair’s Special Secretary (Internal Security) Mahesh Kumar Singla to arrange logistics for MBDPF leaders visit to three districts in Mizoram.

Surgical strikes: Parrikar gives credit to RSS teachings

AHMEDABAD, OCT 17 (AGENCIES): Giving credit to the teachings of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said Monday that a Prime Minister from the land of Mahatma Gandhi and a defence minister from Goa were a “different kind-of combination” that backed the Indian Army in carrying out surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC), reports the Indian Express.

Speaking at a “Know Your Army” event organised at the Nirma University campus, Parrikar said, “I wonder that a Prime Minister from land of Mahatma Gandhi and a defence minister from Goa and surgical strikes, the situation was quite… maybe the RSS teachings was there, but this was very different kind of combination.”

He said both the Prime Minister and he have been facing a tough situation when people began questioning them after the Uri attacks. “After 18

Manohar Parrikar at the inaugural ceremony of “Tech Fest”, a unique initiative aimed at creating awareness about the Indian Army in Ahmedabad on Monday. (PTI) soldiers were martyred in Uri we had to face a lot of difficult situations. Till the 29th of September, the Prime Minister was targeted on the social media and in other media. Some share of the criticism was also directed towards me,” Parrikar added.

Meanwhile, according to PTI report, Parrikar criticised those doubting the cross-LoC surgical strikes and said the action by the Indian army has increased

the sensitivity among Indians regarding national security in a very effective way.

He said the Indian army is the world’s best and when it says something, it should be believed.

“From the day of the strike till today, some politicians are seeking proof,” Parrikar said without taking any names. “When Indian Army says something we should

Ready to help Pak act against terrorists, says Rajnath Singh

Extend FCRA renewal deadline, NGOs petition MHA

Rajnath Singh CHANDIGARH, OCT 17 (IANS): India is ready to help Pakistan take action against terrorists in Pakistan, including in Pakistani-administered Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday.

Calling upon Pakistan to “close down the factory of terrorism”, Rajnath Singh said the army’s surgical strikes on Pakistani territory was a “pre-emptive action against Pakistan”.

“India does not have any ill will against the people

of Pakistan. Pakistan has adopted terrorism as its state policy and harbours terrorists,” Rajnath Singh told a Regional Editors Conference here.

“India is ready to help Pakistan take action against terrorists in Pakistan, including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir,” he said.

The minister said Pakistan needed to act against terrorists on its territory. “That is the reason it has been isolated not only in South Asia but also in the world.”

He said some countries and groups were trying to destablize India as New Delhi’s economic clout was growing in the world.

Referring to steps being taken to seal the international border with Pakistan, the minister said this would be achieved by December 2018.

“There is about 181.85 km stretch in which construction of physical barrier is not feasible due to geographic constraints like riverine, lowlying, creek, marshy areas.

NEW DELHI, OCT 17 (PTI): An apex body of NGOs has petitioned the Union Home Ministry, urging it to extend the date of FCRA renewal to December 31, fearing that otherwise many organisations awaiting renewed licenses will have to cease operations.

Terming it as an “existential crisis” of the NGO sector, Voluntary Action Network India (VANI) said non-disbursement of renewals may halt major development projects as many voluntary organisations are involved in various flagship programs of the Centre.

Several high profile NGOs have come under the scanner in the recent past for allegedly violating the provisions of FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) that regulates the flow of foreign funds to them.

The Home Ministry’s FCRA wing had set June 31 as the deadline for renewal of application. Pending renewal, their licenses will stand terminated after October 31.

believe it. It (Army) is world’s best, professional, brave and having a very high integrity. I do not feel that anybody will seek proof from them (Army) here in Ahmedabad,” he added at a function here of Nirma University, called ‘Know my Army’.

Parrikar was referring to some sections which have been asking for proof about the surgical strikes. The army has said the strikes against terror launch pads across the LoC was carried out during the intervening night of September 28-29.

“Two good things have happened after the surgical strikes. First thing is (that) except some politicians, every Indian is rising in unison and standing behind our brave soldiers. And the second thing is we (Indians) have acquired sensitivity regarding national security in a very effective way,” he said.

With regard to the ceasefire violations by Pakistan, the Defence Minister said the Indian Army was giving a befitting reply.

tory orders have been clamped in four police station limits of the eastern zone of the city Commissionerate limits till midnight. Police said elaborate security arrangements had been made all over the city as a precautionary measure, adding that central forces have also been deployed.

Platoons of Karnataka State Reserve Police, City Armed Reserve, Rapid Action Force and Central Industrial security Force have been deployed, police said.

BJP and RSS workers led by former Deputy Chief Minister R Ashoka and Mem-

bers of Parliament Shobha Karandlaje and P C Mohan and others, marched from Shivajinagar towards Police Commissioner’s office, but were stopped midway.

Linking Rudresh’s murder to killing of BJP and RSS functionaries in different part of the country, Karandlaje said “there is a feeling that these killings are part of a planned conspiracy.”

Ashoka said the culprits should be nabbed first before they fled out of the city or state. Home Minister G Parameshwara said, “Four to five teams have been formed to

Indian democracy has empowered backward classes: Hamid Ansari

Stray dog bites continues in Kerala T H I R U V A N A N THAPURAM, OCT 17 (PTI): A total of 31,114 persons were bitten by stray dogs in Kerala in the past three months, Health Minister K K Shailaja told state assembly today.

As per the statistics, highest number of dogs bites during June, July and August was reported from Thiruvananthapuram district with 6,042, followed by Palakkad 4,305 and Kollam 4,123, Shailaja said in a written reply during question hour.

She said steps are underway to ensure that all domestic dogs were administered with anti-rabies vaccine under a programme of State Animal Husbandry Department.

This programme would be concluded by October 31, she said.

Steps are also underway in coordination with different departments to solve the stray dog menace in the state, she said, adding that the issue could be resolved in two-three years time.

Government now provides treatment to persons attacked by street dogs, she said, adding it was planned to extend financial help to persons bitten by dogs.

BUDAPEST (HUNGARY), OCT 17 (PTI): The democratic process in India has brought about a shift in political power from the middle and higher castes and classes of urban society to the backward classes who are now politically the most influential ones in the country, Vice President Hamid Ansari said today.

“They (backward castes) have won reservations for themselves in legislatures and government services as were accorded to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes after independence through Constitutional provisions,” said Ansari who is on a three-day official visit to Hungary.

“There are few examples in recent history of such a conspicuous shift of political power, involving such a huge mass of population, taking place in such a short period of time almost without any violence and in a democratic way. This is one more example of the miracles that democracy can create. “So there is much to celebrate, much to be proud of.

At the same time, living societies also introspect from time to time, recall their foundational

principles and assess the work still to be done,” he said while addressing a seminar on ‘Indian Democracy: Achievements and Challenges’ at the Corvinus University. He said, these, in India’s case, are inscribed in the Preamble and the text of the Constitution. They were amplified in the concluding statement of Bhimrao Ambedkar, the man who chaired the drafting committee.

He said the Indian Constitution stipulated universal adult franchise and its basic principles were summed up in a brief and pithy form in the Preamble; its sections on Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy made it a socioeconomic manifesto.

“In other words the superstructure of a democratic polity and a secular state structure, put in place in modern India, is anchored in the existential reality of a plural society,” he said. India’s population of 1.27 billion comprises of over 4,635 communities 78 per cent of whom are not only linguistic and cultural but social categories. Religious minorities constitute 19.4 per cent of the population, he said.

“Much of this is reflective of our cultural past. Indian culture is syncretic in character and, as a historian put it ‘embraces in its orbit beliefs, customs, rites, institutions, arts, religions and philosophies belonging to different strata of societies in varying stages of development’.

“It eternally seeks to find a unity for the heterogeneous elements which make up its totality.’ It is a veritable human laboratory where the cross breeding of ideas, beliefs and cultural traditions has been in progress for a few thousand years. The national movement recognised this cultural plurality and sought to base a national identity on it,” he said.

He said the challenge of securing substantive equality for citizens, and thereby ensuring fraternity for the unity and integrity of the nation, remains a work in progress and it has been argued that “inequality traps” prevent the marginalised and work in favour of the dominant groups in society and that “unequal opportunities lead to unequal outcomes which in turn lead to unequal access to political power”.

Haji Ali: SC extends stay on HC order ECI announces bypolls to NEW DELHI, OCT 17 (PTI): Supreme Court today extended the stay granted by Bombay High Court to facilitate an appeal against its decision to lift the ban on entry of women near the sanctum sanctorum of the famous Haji Ali Dargah till October 24, when it will hear the matter.

As the case did not reach the board for hearing, the counsel for the Haji Ali Dargah Trust urged the bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur, Justice A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud to extend the stay until the next date of the hearing. The bench accepted the oral plea of senior advocate Gopal Subramaniam in this regard. The apex court had on October 7 expressed hope that the Trust, which has challenged the high court judgement, “will take a stand which is progressive”. Subramaniam had also assured the bench that he was on a “progressive mission” and said all holy books and scriptures promoted equality and nothing which is regressive in character should be suggested.

The bench had also remarked that “if you are not

Protest in Bengaluru over RSS worker’s murder B E N G A LU RU, O C T 1 7 (PTI): BJP and RSS workers today staged a protest here against the gruesome murder of a local RSS functionary and demanded a fair probe into the case and immediate arrest of the culprits. Rudresh, a 35-year old RSS worker, was hacked to death by two motorcycle-borne men who struck him with machete on Kamaraja Road here yesterday, when he was returning home on a bike after attending an RSS event.

RSS has called for a bandh today in Shivajinagar area, where the murder took place following which prohibi-

investigate. Police will do their job. A few persons have already been taken into the custody, inquiry is on.”

He said “Rudres happens to be an RSS worker, other than that, we are not aware of anything about him. We will get to know the exact reasons for his killing only after the investigation.”

Assuring BJP and RSS workers that police will conduct a fair investigation into the case, city Police Commissioner N S Megharikh said, “We will nab the culprits soon.”

allowing both men and women to go beyond a point, there is no problem. But if you are allowing some to go beyond a point while others are not, it is a problem.”

The bench, which recorded that an identical issue has been raised and was pending before the Supreme Court relating to the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala, said “the problem is not only among Muslims, but among the Hindus also”.

The counsel, appearing for a women’s group which has challenged the practice of the Trust not to allow women near the sanctum sanctorum, had submitted that the position was different before 2011 than what it is today. The Trust moved the apex court challenging the Bombay High Court order lifting the ban on women from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the renowned Muslim shrine in South Bombay.

The High Court on August 26 had held that the ban imposed by the Trust on women from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the Haji Ali Dargah, contravened Articles 14, 15 and 25 of the Constitution and said women should be

permitted to enter the sanctum sanctorum like men.

The High Cour t had allowed a PIL filed by two women, Zakia Soman and Noorjehan Niaz, from NGO Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, challenging the ban on women’s entry into the sanctum sanctorum of the dargah from 2012.

It had granted a six-week stay on the order on a request by the Dargah Trust to enable it to appeal before the Supreme Court. The high court had held that the Trust had no power to alter or modify the mode or manner of religious practices of any individual or any group.

The High Court in its 56page judgement had also noted that the “right to manage the Trust cannot override the right to practice religion itself ”.

It had said the trust has not been able to justify the ban legally or otherwise. Hence it cannot be said that the prohibition was an essential and integral part of Islam and whether taking away that part of the practice would result in a fundamental change in the character of the religion or belief.

True American color

W

hether or not , Republican candidate Donald Trump wins the race to the White House against Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in the November 8,2016 US presidential election; the biggest loser is the reputation of the liberal American media which has been carrying out an aggressive anti-Trump campaign day in and day out. If Hillary wins, it can be credited to the biased way in which 100% of the American liberal media has been conducting a negative campaign. However if Trump wins, it will still be a discredit to the American liberal media. It seems that either way, the American liberal media is in a lose-lose position no matter who eventually wins the race. Never in the history of US presidential elections has a candidate attracted so wide hostility from the US media. Donald Trump is not exactly the type of candidate the majority of Americans would like to have but neither is Hillary Clinton. However, the difference between the two candidates is which side the liberal American and the media is with. Hillary Clinton has been given the longest ever rope despite being involved in highly controversial episodes while as a- lawyer ,when in 1975 she successfully defended a 42-year old man who raped a 12-year old girl. Hillary told the court that the girl made up the rape story because she enjoyed fantasising about older men. The rapist was freed and in 1980 Hillary admitted that she knew that the accused was guilty and even laughed about it. As secretary of state, Hillary shifted responsibility for the Benghazi attack by terrorists in which US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens died along with several others. Earlier, Hillary proudly claimed that as secretary of state she alone was responsible for all aspects involving the deployment of personnel and safety of US officials. All these pale in comparison against her handling of 30,000 confidential US government emails as then secretary of state by using a private server. Though Clinton claimed that she did not use her private, unsecured server for government business before March 2009, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch proved it was not true. In 2014, Clinton claimed that she turned over all of her work-related e-mails, about 30,000 but did not disclose the unilateral deletion of around 30,000 e-mails that she claimed were all personal. After allegations were raised that some of the emails in question contained classified information, an investigation was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding how classified information was handled on the Clinton server. Of the emails on the server, 113 emails contained information which was classified at the time it was sent, including 65 emails deemed “Secret” and 22 deemed “Top Secret”. Ordinarily, any US citizen who violate confidential rules would land up in prison but not Hillary Clinton. That’s because she is the darling of the American liberal media and has strong influence on the Obama administration.

Whereas Donald Trump is painted as a dangerous nut. The media attacks trump during discussions.

Even during the two debates, the anchorpersons regularly interrupted Trump and attacked him. He was also labelled as anti-feminist by the media which conveniently ignores the fact that Bill Clinton was the worst female predator president. As stated, Trump is no angel and neither is Hillary but the worst offender has been the American liberals.

DailyDevotion The Key of the Greater Work …I say to you, he who believes in Me,…greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

—John 14:12 Prayer does not equip us for greater works— prayer is the greater work. Yet we think of prayer as some commonsense exercise of our higher powers that simply prepares us for God’s work. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, prayer is the working of the miracle of redemption in me, which produces the miracle of redemption in others, through the power of God. The way fruit remains firm is through prayer, but remember that it is prayer based on the agony of Christ in redemption, not on my own agony. We must go to God as His child, because only a child gets his prayers answered; a “wise” man does not (see Matthew 11:25).

Prayer is the battle, and it makes no difference where you are. However God may engineer your circumstances, your duty is to pray. Never allow yourself this thought, “I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly cannot be used where you have not yet been placed. Wherever God has placed you and whatever your circumstances, you should pray, continually offering up prayers to Him. And He promises, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do…” (John 14:13). Yet we refuse to pray unless it thrills or excites us, which is the most intense form of spiritual selfishness. We must learn to work according to God’s direction, and He says to pray. “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Matthew 9:38).

There is nothing thrilling about a laboring person’s work, but it is the laboring person who makes the ideas of the genius possible. And it is the laboring saint who makes the ideas of his Master possible. When you labor at prayer, from God’s perspective there are always results.

What an astonishment it will be to see, once the veil is finally lifted, all the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you have been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.

No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking. ~ Voltaire

n male humans, rape is hardly ever about sexual attraction. It is usually about finding someone physically weaker and more vulnerable and venting one’s anger against the world on them. That is why husbands mistreat their wives, teenage boys rape children, a Nirbhaya and a Jisha lose their lives horrifically, a girl is raped in Brazil by 33 men after being drugged. It might explain the tragic fact that NO country— however egalitarian, aware and wealthy —has been able to eliminate rape and violence against women. Sweden has more rapes than India. How can one explain that? The elimination of rape may only lie ultimately in the elimination of violence itself.

Male animals of some species do it too. But in this case it is not for the sake of violence. The purpose of life, in every species, is to beget life.

Animals don’t have a shred of malice. So, violence on the female is either because she is in heat and he is so overcome by the pheromone smell that he cannot help himself, or because he is in a race with other males of his species to see that he continues his genetic legacy.

Female animals are discriminating. The male has to be good looking (the redder the Mandrill’s face, the likelier he is to get a mate), he has to be a good provider – birds have to woo their mates by building and decorating nests, getting food for the females, even dancing to show how virile they are - and he has to be a good defender and protector. Some females spread their bets by allowing themselves to be mated several times so that the offspring have different fathers.

But in some species the female is not allowed the luxury of choice. Either by sheer force or by cunning, she is physically violated. One foul villain is the

water strider. These insects walk on water. The female has a genital shield to protect herself from a marauding male.

To get around that, the male forcibly mounts the female. If she protests and refuses to cooperate by removing her shield, he threatens her by striking the water with his legs. She knows this will immediately attract fish and other predators. She is underneath so she will get eaten while he will escape. Once she agrees to let him in, he will stop creating vibrations in the water.

So, for her it is a choice of two evils and she gives in to the first to save her life.

Sea otters need a lot of food every day, approximately 25% of their body weight.

When food is short, the male will sometimes snatch a random baby and hold it to ransom till the mother pays in food to the male. They also rape baby seals. Male otters will find a juvenile harbour seal and mount it, as if he were mating with a female otter, which means holding the female’s head under water for a long time. This kills some female otters and certainly all the seal pups. Some abandon the pup when it dies. Others return to the corpse later and continue to violate it. Male sea lions fight for a beach filled with females, but then this leaves lots of males on the side-lines with no females, they become extremely frustrated because they had to travel far to that beach for a chance at sex. They will often take it out on youngsters that stray from the group, beating them up and then raping them, usually killing them.

Bottlenose dolphin males form gangs, corner a female and then take turns mating with her. If there are no females around, they take a young male instead. Competing groups of dolphins may raid rival territories for their females.

Special kind of treatment Studies in the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, on bottlenose dolphins in Western Australia showed that male dolphins formed alliances to guard the females of their group against rape – perhaps not so much chivalry and gallantry as restricting sexual access to their own “possessions”.

Professor Barbara Smuts of the University of Michigan and a long-time observer of social relations in primates such as hamadryas baboons, chimpanzees and orangutans describes, in Discover magazine, the masculine coercion of the female. “…Sometimes, as I saw in Gombe (a wildlife reserve in Tanzania), a male chimpanzee even attacks an oestrous female days before he tries to mate with her. Goodall (Jane, a pioneering ethologist) thinks that a male uses such aggression to train a female to fear him so that she will be more likely to surrender to his subsequent sexual advances.

Similarly, male hamadryas baboons, who form small harems by kidnapping child brides, maintain a tight rein over their females through threats and intimidation. If, when another male is nearby, a hamadryas female strays even a few feet from her mate, he shoots her a threatening stare and raises his brows. She usually responds by rushing to his side; if not, he bites the back of her neck.

The neck bite is ritualized—the

male does not actually sink his razor-sharp canines into her flesh—but the threat of injury is clear. By repeating this behaviour hundreds of times, the male lays claim to particular female months even years before mating with them.

When a female comes into oestrus, she solicits sex only from her harem master, and other males rarely challenge his sexual rights to her.”

Would this be called rape – child marriage is definitely non-consensual sex. In some groups, when females form defensive alliances of their own, there is a marked drop in male violence.

Male scorpion flies prefer to provide their potential mates with food gifts of dead insects.

But if there are absolutely none, the male rapes the female.

Male scorpion flies have a so-called notal organ, a clamp that serves to keep unwilling females in a mating position.

The males that resort to rape are usually smaller and less symmetric than males who woo the females with gifts.

However, experiments reveal that all males will rape in an environment in which nuptial gifts are scarce. Which means, that scorpion flies possess the brain to choose both gifts and rape as mating tactics. Rape yields very little reproductive success and the females fight so vigorously, twisting their bodies in order to avoid contact so it’s basically making the best of a

Post-mortem

Speech of general (Retd) Thinoselie M, Keyho, president, NNC at the 64th anniv of Naga Martyrs Day

I

join the multitudes of freedom loving people of Nagaland in paying my most profound homage to the immortal souls of the Naga Martyrs.

Why has October 18th come to commemorated as the Naga Martyrs Day? A very brief account is being retold to revere the sacred deaths of the patriots who had laid down their lives as the supreme sacrifice for the love of Naga Country, the eternal.

Exactly 64 years ago, some immoral Assam Police personnel in Dimapur tortured a young Sema lad to death on very flimsy grounds of suspected theft.

The Naga people of Kohima took out a Peaceful Procession in protest against the heinous crime, demanding for a proper inquiry amongst others. Then an Indian Intelligence Officer came speeding on his Motor Cycle and rammed into the Procession with full intent, injuring one ‘Processionist’.

He therefore was angrily confronted by the crowd. Then certain Assam Police Officer began intimidating and threatening the crowd with his cocked service revolver most menacingly. Mr. Zasibito Nagi, Vice President, Western Angami Group, NNC and also Judicial Member, KCC, on beholding the precariously poised volatile situation, most honorably attempted to defuse the same. But the trigger-happy Police Officer fired at point blank range and shot him dead in cold blood.

Zasibito Nagi had not even been in the procession, just an innocent bystander, purely meaning well only.

However, the Government of Assam did not take any action in this case most appallingly. Had she set up an Inquiry Commission to go into the reason(s) as to why the Intelligence Officer ploughed right into the crowd with his speeding Motor Cycle the way he did; and ascertain as to who authorized the Police Officer to fire on innocent peaceful people and such other particulars; and bring the guilty to book and at least offer words of condolences and/or award appropriate compensations; then the matter would have been most amicably resolved and done over with.

But the Government of Assam strangely did absolutely nothing of that sort. In its place and stead, the erring Intelligence Officer was allowed to roam most arrogantly about, scotfree, provoking all and sundry.

And adding insult to injury, the murderous Police Officer was given undue promotion and even provided with bodyguards to patrol the streets of Kohima on endless rounds of

defiance.

Observing these blatant misrepresentations and abuses of Justice, the Nagas were offended without measure, right to the very core; and the already very fragile sense of camaraderie towards the people of Assam and the whole of India virtually shattered to unredeemable fragments. The death of a noble Naga Icon of most profound standings had not been given due cognizance by the Indians comparable to that of even a miserable chickling’s, in her sick value system.

The extend of hatred, contempt and discrimination displayed in such blatant manifestations further went on to vindicate our worst fears that we would never get any semblance of justice from this demoniac regime and thus the Naga sentiments have been irrevocably hurt and offended. This had been the primal provocation (No.1).

Next had been the maiden visit of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to Nagaland on March 30, 1953. The Nagas had been eagerly awaiting his visit. People gathered from all over and had agglomerated at the local ground to the tune and in excess of 10, 000 odd strength, in order to pay our respects to his August presence. Then the Deputy Commissioner of Kohima, an Assamese, on his own accord, gave out the ruling that the Nagas would not be permitted to meet with the Dignitary nor could any Memorandum be presented to him; thereby most severely frustrating the noble Naga intentions, compelling them to walk out en bloc. The Prime Minister of India had been thereby made to suffer immense disgrace and humiliation for absolutely no fault of his. Here again, had the Government of Assam or the Government of India for that matter, instituted a Commission to go into the happenings and put things in their correct perspective; things would not have gotten to be so disproportionately nor malignantly misrepresented. But absolutely nothing whatsoever had been done in the correct line and the whole grotesque blame had been squarely dumped on the Nagas most unjustly. Immediately upon the departure of the Prime Minister, the Government of Assam sent her Assam Armed Police into Nagaland and started and never stopped Political Atrocities thenceforth. This had been provocation Number 2.

The situation steadily deteriorated from bad to worse as the Government of India sent in her Armed Forces to invade Nagaland from1954 and the rest is History most shameful.

The Nagas had declared her independent status ahead of India but willfully took time in setting her Government up. This wise course of action, or rather the lack of it, had been resorted to, since the Nagas did not want to provide the opportunity to the Government of India to crush the Naga National Movement on the pretext that the Nagas had put up direct confrontational challenge; but instead the Naga National pursued the wise ‘Non-violent, NonCooperation’ policy all along.

But the most brazen and brutal invasion of the Government of India compelled and propelled the Naga National Council to set up her Government- The Federal Government of Nagaland on March 22, 1956.

Thereafter ‘official’ confrontations between the Armed wings of the Nagas and the Indians commenced in actuality. And the death-day of Zasibito Nagi, the first martyr for the Naga Cause on October 18th (1952) has come to be commemorated as the Naga Martyrs’ Day for all the martyrs to follow in their thousands.

At the initial stages, the Nagas fought virtually barehanded; seeing the haughty Indians’ inhumane atrocities of debasement and persecutions; having been moved to utter hurt, red hot rage, bitter tears and proverbial gnashing of teeth in thorough exhaustive provocation. But God had been good to us and we could do much exceedingly well and had gone from strength to strength.

So the Government of India next resorted to the malicious “Divide and Rule” policy and set up the “Naga People’s Convention” at her own behest and instigation, evolved the infamous ’16-points agreement’ and brought about the so-called Nagaland State into existence.

But this did not go to any length in weakening, hindering nor hampering the Naga National Movement, whithersoever. The Naga National Politics had gone way above such petty hitches much by far. This, however, in fact could boomerang on India herself very badly in much more than just one way of a mighty lot of reversals.

Like the Biblical parable of the sewing on of one new and unshrunk piece of cloth unto the old parent cloth tearing apart the latter to virtual shreds, the case vis-á-vis Nagaland State, the 16th, affecting the Indian Union may become a reality in course of time.

Politics and History have amply proven that India had committed a mighty big blunder in creating the State of Nagaland. Our neighbors had been immensely benefitted

from this catastrophe, instead.

For starters, the Mizos came to learn that “Armed Struggle Pays” and did exactly follow its path and got rewarded with Mizoram State in the bargain. Then the Government of India in order to ‘contain’ and ‘isolate’ the Nagas from foreign powers granted Statehood to both Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. Finally the Union Territories of Tripura and Manipur were also given Statehood in the superficial show of rationalism and equality which actually are virtues most opposed to her ethics of the Caste System. So now that the trend had been set in motion; in exact fulfillment of the time-tested proverbs, “A spark neglected burns the house”, the fire is already snaking its way into different parts of mainland India most steadily adamant.

The Naga Case may be and is truly a challenge to the collective wisdom and statesmanship of India’s think-tank. The wise and magnanimous tackling would surely bring her much accolades; but the reverse case of much shame and humiliation also awaits on the other side too; because the World surely is watching.

I stand here today challenging the wise and the mighty Nagas of substance: had the Nagas of yester years happened to fail to speak out of our rights and quietly cowered down and surrendered to the invading hordes of India; what do you think the fate of the Nagas would be like by now? Perhaps, we might in all likelihood be still the “British Naga Hills Excluded Area”; at best a District in the state Assam. The living conditions and political stand of the Nagas would not be much better off now than then. The present status and living standard that the Nagas have reached, if anything substantial at all, have all been made possible because of the lofty Naga National Politics and the unselfish yielding of their lives by the martyrs for the sake of the Naga Nation without the faintest shadow of a doubt. You, the educated and the learned, the rich and the endowed, the Officers of all cadres, yes, every single individual lolling in the luxury of the good life, isn’t it right and timely that we ascribe the deserved glory and honor to the noble souls who had done you all a mighty lot of good? Otherwise, you would be most correctly taken to be ‘the most disgraceful’, ‘the most disrespectful’ and ‘the most ungrateful’ people, God forbid! At least spare a kind thought for the future. It’s a matter of great

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, October 18, 2016 bad job. In sagebrush and camel crickets, rape is the work of the ultimate loser on the edge of society, small and deformed, he can spread his genes in no other way.

The white fronted beeeater is a small, colourful bird who lives in colonies in Africa.

Males and females form stable pairs who nest together year after year. But rape in the community is common, and if a female leaves her nest alone she will be chased by 1-12 male birds who, if they succeed in pinning her to the ground, jump on her at once and try to mate with her. In fact, when a female leaves the nest she whistles loudly, so that if her husband is nearby he can escort her. No bachelors form part of the rape posse- all married males on the prowl.

The lesser snowgoose also lives in colonies, but her state is much worse. Married males routinely attack nesting females. A female left alone for an instant will probably be assaulted, and is probably on her own because her husband has gone off to rape someone else.

One attempt every few days is the norm. The little brown bat is even more sexually deviant.

When most bats are hibernating through the winter, hanging together in vast colonies, this bat works its way through raping male and female alike as they sleep.

Some species of male ducks and geese chase and have forcible sex with females.

Mallard duck’s males and females pair off normally, but the males that don’t manage to get mates form gangs and use their combined strength to go after lone females. It’s known to biologists as a ‘rape flight’.

Often, a gang of three or four of them attacks a female duck, two holding her down while one enters her, sometimes resulting in her injury or death.

They are among the 3% of bird species whose males have phalluses big enough to insert into the vaginas of females, whether or not she consents. The cockscrew-like male sex organ can be as long as 16 inches. However researchers have established that females of these species have evolved complex genitalia to thwart unwelcome pregnancies.

Some vaginas have spiral channels that impede sex by twisting in the opposite direction to that of the male phallus.

Others have as many as eight cul-de-sac pouches en route, that could prevent fertilisation by capturing unwelcome sperm. These features are only found in the species renowned for forced sex. All others have simple male and female genitalia. Control over reproduction alternates between the sexes.

If the male develops a longer, more elaborate phallus to force copulation, females wrest back control by developing features to thwart males who rape by developing side chambers to hold sperm that is ejected later.

The success of this design is proven by the fact that as many as one in three duck matings are rapes, but in nine out of ten of these the offending sperm is eliminated, so 97 percent of all duck offspring are the result of the choice of the mother.

If rape, like evil, could be isolated in the mind and manipulated by medical or psychiatric intervention, it would be easy to exorcise it. But it is immensely more difficult when it comes from a view that women are an essentially different type of species and therefore need a special kind of treatment – whether promoting gender sensitivity or using them as objects.

Speech of Z.Royim Yimchungrii acting president of NNC on Martyrs’ Day Dear Naga People, It is my duty to speak out on our National Martyrs’ Day - the hallowed day that we have been observing on 18th of October since 1952. On this precious day we solemnly remember the martyrs who died in thousands, sacrificing their very lives for the sovereign right of the Naga people. We also remember the families of these martyrs who also suffered immeasurably as a result of the sacrifices made.

The Naga National workers in particular and the people in general have fought and died in defence of our sovereign rights to be a nation in the land inhabited by the Nagas.

Our people fought the invaders and aggressors in the homeland and ventured far afield, to Pakistan (East Pakistan now Bangladesh) and to China and to Europe, for the cause of the Naga freedom. Thousands and thousands fought and died for the just cause of Naga freedom and sovereignty.

Therefore it is our bounden duty to remember the martyrs on this sacred day and to make prayer and petition to God in remembrance of the heroes and the noble cause.

The present generation of Naga people, wherever they are, should observe the day and come forward to promote the noble cause of Naga freedom.

This is a sacred duty that every Naga should perform.

I, on behalf of the NNC, humbly salute all the martyrs on this occasion in humility.

May our noble cause strengthen as we march forward to freedom inspired by the precious blood of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The present Govt. of India is hand in glove with RSS (Hindutva) and, as confirmed

by the CPI (M) party of India and stated clearly in the media on 13th of October 2016, the Indian arm forces move at the whim of RSS. This media report absolutely confirms the clear statement made by the NNC on May 27th, 2016.

The present government’s political agenda in their fiveyear term is to suppress all other religions and political parties in India; thereby demeaning and degrading the secular tradition of the world’s largest democracy.

The Govt of India sprang to the defense of Balochistan in Pakistan and decried human right violations by the Pakistan army while its armed forces were, at the same time, in complete violation of international human rights, suppressing and oppressing people of the northeast and of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Naga people in particular have suffered dreadfully at the hands of the Indian armed forces since thousands and thousands of Nagas have been killed since the 1950s.

People of principle and conscience should condemn these atrocities and the RSSinspired policy of the Govt. of India.

We, the NNC, call on the present Govt. of India in Delhi and the Govt. of Myanmar to recognize the sovereign rights of the Nagas without any further delay, before a neighbouring country (or countries) liberates Nagaland through another war in the region.

We the NNC, while adopting a non-violent stance, insist that these Governments help to secure much-needed peace in the region by recognising and acceding to our just demands.

God bless Nagaland.

Clarification on Chumu taxi counter issue

Sir,

The Association thoroughly investigated the said case regarding the Chumu taxi counter and found it was unfortunate, and the said story was found to be twisted by the passenger himself for his personal motives. The ANTA Dimapur unit is working tirelessly for the welfare of the society and the passenger without knowing the truth and the exact function of the ANTA norms he waywardly defamed the good image of ANTA is regrettable.

If his case was genuine and he being an intellectual person he should first console the ANTA office for further action but he failed to do so and blindly published in the daily news paper as well as in the social media has shown his personal interest to defame the Association, since his case has been far from the truth as stated, the Association request him to kindly approach the ANTA office for further clarifications during office hours.

The Association also warns its taxi drivers to abide by the rules laid by the ANTA for the welfare of the passengers.

The bench also kept the review petitions filed by Kerala and Soumya’s mother in abeyance saying it would debate with Justice Katju on his facebook post.

“Though arguments have been elaborate and stands concluded, we do not consider it appropriate to express any opinion on the contentions advanced at this stage. This is so because we are of the view that a connected issue which has arisen needs to be resolved in the first instance,” the bench said referring to the blog of Justice Katju.

CCoFA terms cabinet’s .....

(From p-1)

CCoFA reminded the cabinet that “it cannot arbitrarily declare a peace protest by the people as illegal based on their own whims and fancy”. CCoFA said in a hilarious turnaround, after declaring the bandh illegal, the cabinet entourage led by chief minister sneaked into Assam by-passing the New Field check. This, CCOFA said was “an admission of guilt and lack of moral authority on the part of government”. Later, CCoFA alleged that when the “CM’s entourage was allowed to re-enter the state peacefully, the CM created a warlike situation by deploying hundreds of fully armed policemen just to pass through the New Field Check Gate”.

Though extreme force was used against peaceful YAN volunteers, CCoFA said the “dictatorial and high handed attitude shown by the government” was most condemnable.

The committee alleged

that the Dimapur police further went on a rampage and damaged vehicles that were parked. It alleged that “the driver of Scorpio (NL-10-8869) was responsible for YAN volunteers getting beaten up by gung-ho police personnel”.

In this regard, CCoFA has appealed to the Governor to take cognizance of such extreme violation of human rights and freedom of expression by the state government.

CCoFA also appealed to all right thinking citizens, and organisations to condemn such terror tactics employed by the government. It cautioned the state government that in the event of such high handedness on the part of police, the next phase of total indefinite bandh would be launched and CCoFA that will would no longer guarantee that the protest would be peaceful.

The committee appealed to all concern citizens to come and join to show solidarity by assembling at Chumukedima Patkai Bridge at 6 a.m. onwards.

17 die in Odisha hospital fire BHUBANESWAR, OCT 17 (PTI): At least 17 patients died and around 12 others injured in a fire that broke out at the Sum Hospital here this evening, in one of the worst such incidents involving a medical facility.

The blaze was suspected to have been triggered by an electric short circuit in the dialysis ward on the first floor of the private hospital which spread to the nearby Intensive Care Unit.

“So far we have received some ‘brought dead’ people at the Capital Hospital. However, I cannot exactly say the number of persons who have died in the incident,” Health Secretary Arati Ahuja said.

However, the Capital Hospital Superintendent Binod Kumar Mishra said, “We have received nine dead bodies, while five others are

in very critical condition. The toll may increase.”

Meanwhile, Amri Hospital (Bhubaneswar) unit head Dr Salil Kumar Mohanty said, “A total of 37 patients were received at our casualty ward. Our doctors have declared eight persons as brought dead.”

“Most of the victims were in the first floor ICU of the ill-fated Sum Hospital,” said a doctor at the Capital Hospital.

The fire, which was said to have started from the dialysis ward on the first floor, quickly spread to other areas including the ICU on the same floor of the fourstoreyed hospital building.

NEW DELHI, OCT 17 (PTI): Over 7,400 people have been afflicted with chikungunya in the national capital even as dengue cases continued to plateau in the city with a little over 3,000 persons having contracted the virus this season. According to a municipal report released today, out of the total 7,425 chikungunya cases recorded till October 15, nearly 660 of them have been reported in areas falling under the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC).

Over 6,700 cases were reported in the city till October 8, according to South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) which tabulates the data for vector-borne disease cases in the national capital on behalf of all the civic bodies here. Among the three corporations, 658 chikungunya cases have been reported in areas under NDMC, 588 under SDMC and 291 under East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) this season.

over the issue of a student missing from the varsity hostel under mysterious circumstances.

A student of School of Biotechnology, Najeeb Ahmed, allegedly went missing on Saturday following a brawl on the campus the night before. An FIR for kidnapping and wrongfully confining a person was lodged at Vasant Kunj North police station yesterday after the police received a complaint from the student’s guardians.

Najeeb’s mother and local guardians also joined the protest today alleging that they were not informed by the administration about him going missing. Asserting prompt action, the JNU administration issued a statement saying, “The JNU security has been instructed to immediately look for the missing student. The dean gave a written instruction to all wardens to search hostel rooms.” “Police also visited the campus and investigated the matter. The administration is in constant touch with police to facilitate the investigation,” it added. The left-affiliated groups on campus on the other hand accused the RSS student wing ABVP of making attempts to “terrorise” the student community.

MUMBAI, OCT 17 (PTI): The rupee turned weak by 12 paise to 66.83 against the dollar on Monday at the foreign exchange market after the American currency gained ground following a spurt in demand from importers.

Dealers said strength in the dollar against some other currencies overseas on the prospects of higher US rates also weighed on the rupee, but a higher opening in the domestic equity market meant the losses were limited.

On Friday, the rupee had staged a smart recovery from its three-week low against the US currency to close up by 23 paise at 66.71 on heavy corporate dollar sales as well as easing inflationary pressure. The benchmark BSE Sensex rose further by 129.61 points, or 0.26 per cent, to 27,803.21 in early trade on Monday.

NEW DELHI, Oct 17 (PTI): The crucial three-day meeting of the all-powerful GST Council, starting Tuesday, will decide on the tax rate and sort out issues like compensation formula for rollout of the new indirect tax regime from April 1, 2017.

With the finance ministry setting November 22 as the deadline for building consensus on all the issues in the Council, the upcoming meeting is significant as it will decide on the most crucial aspect of tax rate that will have a bearing on the common man. At its previous meeting last month, the GST Council, which has all state finance ministers as members, had finalised area-based exemptions and how 11 states, mostly in the North-East and hilly regions, will be treated under the new tax regime.

Tuesday’s meeting will also deliberate on the vexed issue of the Centre retaining power to assess 11 lakh service tax filers under the new dispensation.While a decision to this effect was taken at the first meeting of the GST Council, at least two states dithered on approving the minutes of the meeting, saying they are not in favour of losing power of assessment of these assessees.

BRICS member states.

It has already approved loans totaling $900 million to green projects in each member state. It has also started a renminbi-denominated borrowing program, issuing a 3 billion yuan ($450 million) bond.

Kamath, 68, said there was plenty of room for new lenders like the NDB and the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), in addition to established institutions like the World Bank.

“Infrastructure alone has needs globally of $1-1.5 trillion a year - all the multilateral banks put together can do maybe 15 percent of this,” said Kamath, who ran India’s ICICI Bank Ltd from 1996 until 2009.

“The phrase I would like to use is cooperate and work together, rather than compete.

I don’t see competition as a key challenge in this context.”

With Russia, Brazil and South Africa on the economic skids and China slowing, the initial euphoria has faded, yet Kamath said the BRICS had much to gain by deepening their cooperation.

“The fact is that these countries, collectively, have for the last few years contributed to more than 50 percent of incremental economic wealth that has been generated globally,” said Kamath. “I don’t see that changing.”

New Delhi, Oct 17 (Agencies): The development bank set up by the BRICS group of emerging economies will ramp up lending to $2.5 billion next year after making its first loans to back green projects, its president KV Kamath told Reuters.

The BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - agreed to create the New Development Bank (NDB) in July 2014 with initial authorized capital of $100 billion. The lender was officially launched a year later.

“The second year is scaling up, concentrating on people, getting all the skillsets in,” said Kamath, a veteran Indian banker appointed as the first head of the Shanghaibased NDB.

G.H. RAMLIA Principal District & Sessions Judge Dimapur : Nagaland

Baghdad/United Nations, Oct 17 (AFP): Iraqi forces have launched a campaign to retake Mosul, the self-declared capital of the Islamic State, the prime minister said today in what the US hailed as a “decisive moment” in the battle to crush the jihadist group.

Up to 1.5 million civilians remain in the city, the United Nations said, voicing fears the vastly outnumbered Islamists could use them as human shields as they seek to repel the assault on its last major stronghold in the country.

“Today I declare the start of these victorious operations to free you from the violence and terrorism of Daesh,” Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a televised address, using an alternative name for the IS group.

Mosul fell to IS fighters two years ago as they marched through Iraq and Syria, where the civil war left a power vacuum that they easily exploited.

Its recapture would shatter the group’s claim to be running a “caliphate” and would all but end its presence in Iraq as a land-holding force. That claim received another body blow yesterday when Syrian rebels retook the town of Dabiq from the group.

The anti-IS alliance -

including the US-led coalition, Kurdish Peshmerga and Iraqi government forces - has recently been tightening the noose around Mosul, and the assault has long been predicted. But they will have to fight their way through IS defences to reach the city. Some groups are still dozens of kilometres from Mosul.

When they get there, the fighting is expected to be fierce. UN deputy Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Stephen O’Brien said civilians in the city were in real danger.

“I am extremely concerned for the safety of up to 1.5 million people living in Mosul who may be impacted by military operations to retake the city from ISIL,” he said.

“Depending on the intensity and scope of the fighting, as many as one million people may be forced to flee their homes in a worst-case scenario,” O’Brien said in a statement. Children and elderly are among those at greatest risk. “Tens of thousands of Iraqi girls, boys, women and men may be under siege or held as human shields. Thousands may be forcibly expelled or trapped between the fighting lines,” O’Brien added.

In the two years since IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

proclaimed a “caliphate” straddling Iraq and Syria, Iraqi forces, with the support of Iran and a US-led coalition, have battled to win back lost territory. Prime Minister Abadi today vowed that only government forces will enter Mosul, a Sunni-majority city that IS seized with relative ease partly due to local resentment towards the Shiitedominated security forces.

Shiite militia groups have been accused of serious abuses against Sunni civilians in the course of operations to reconquer territory from IS.

UN ‘extremely concerned’ for 1.5 mn Syrian civilians

UN deputy Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief voiced grave concern at risks faced by civilians as operations to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul began.

“I am extremely concerned for the safety of up to 1.5 million people living in Mosul who may be impacted by military operations to retake the city from ISIL,” Stephen O’Brien said, referring to the Islamic State jihadist group.

He warned that “families are at extreme risk of being caught in cross-fire or targeted by snipers.”

25 inmates killed in Brazil prison clash Sao Paulo, Oct 17 (AFP): At least 25 inmates died in clashes between two rival factions in a prison in far northern Brazil, local media reported citing police.

Seven of the dead were beheaded and six burned to death in fighting at a prison in Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima state, the news site G1 reported, citing local police.

The bloodshed began when inmates of one wing of the Agricola de Monte Cristo

prison broke into another wing yesterday.

Inmates were armed with knives and wooden clubs, an inmate’s wife who was in the prison when the riot broke out told G1.

Roraima state Secretary of Justice Uziel Castro said that the fight erupted during visiting hours, and some 100 relatives of inmates were briefly held hostage.

The rioters demanded that a judge come to hear their

Islamist extremist executed in B’desh Dhaka, Oct 17 (PTI): A senior Bangladeshi leader of a banned Islamist extremist group has been executed for his role in a 2005 blast that killed two judges, including one from the Hindu community.

Asadul Islam alias Arif, a leader of the Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), was executed in Khulna jail last night after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence in August for the blast.

“He was hanged to death at 10:30 pm,” an official at Khulna jail said.

Arif and six other top JMB leaders including its founder Shayakh Abdur Rahman were sentenced to death on May 29, 2006 for killing judges Jagannath Pare and Sohel Ahmed in a 2005 bomb attack on a minibus. Death sentence of the militants except Arif were executed on March 29, 2007. Arif, who was absconding was later arrested on July 10, 2007.

Kingjung Village Council would like to show our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Nagaland Empowerment of People through energy Development (NEPeD) for installing the HYDROGER in 2010 at Kingjung Village. The efficient, low cost and low maintenance machine not only brought us electricity but has also tremendously improved and eased the life of every of every villagers here in Kingjung Village. It has opened a window to a greener and more reliable source of energy.

The wave of change brought by HYDROGER is astonishing. Our dependence on candles, Kerosene and Pinewood for lighting is now redemtant. The Villagers have passed a resolution to conserve the catchment areas. The Pine forest have now been conserved for future generation. All these unimaginable achievements in such a short window of time would not have been possible without the aid of NEPeD. The general public as well as the village council are forever grateful for the pioneer work done by NEPeD. Council Secretary P. KHAMJE K-3840

Amsterdam, Oct 17 (Agencies): An inquiry has begun into the Dutch ambassador to China, Ron Keller, amid reports that he had a secret relationship with a local employee.

The Dutch foreign ministry said Mr Keller would not remain actively in post while an investigation took place.

An experienced diplomat, Ron Keller moved to Beijing in December 2015 after postings in Turkey and Russia.

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Monday that the relationship had only recently come to light.

The Chinese woman worked in the embassy itself, it said, quoting insiders.

Foreign diplomats in China are often advised against having relationships with local staff because of the risk of a so-called honey trap, involving local women acting as agents for the Chinese government.

The foreign ministry made no comment on the report but said in a statement that it was investigating a complaint and always took complaints seriously.

Mr Keller is currently in the Netherlands, De Telegraaf reports, adding that his return to Beijing is considered unlikely. He has not commented on his suspension.

Baillie Gifford Non-Fiction Prize nominees

T

he shortlist for this year’s Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction have been announced.

Margo Jefferson and Svetlana Alexievich are among the nominees for the £30,000 award, previously known as the Samuel Johnson Prize.

Hisham Matar and Philippe Sands have also been shortlisted for the award,

which aims to recognise high quality non-fiction works published in English.

Former BBC Economics Editor Stephanie Flanders is chair of the judges.

She said: “Of the many superb books on the long list, these are the four books that each of us [judges] would be happy so see win.

“If they have anything

in common it is perhaps the emphasis on the first person - and first-hand reporting.

There are voices and stories in these books that we haven’t heard before and which are going to stay with me for a very long time.”

Belarusian investigative journalist Alexievich’s Second-hand Time was originally written in Russian but its

translation by Bela Shayevich made it eligible for the longlist.

The book focuses on what life in the USSR was like just prior to its collapse.

Jefferson, a former New York Times theatre critic, is nominated for Negroland: A Memoir.

The biography chronicles her experience of growing up in Chicago’s black elite in the 1960s and 70s, where she describes being “sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty”.

Franco-British lawyer Sands is nominated for East West Street: On the Origins of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity, which studies the origins of international law.

The final nominee, Libyan writer Matar has previously been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land In Between, sees him return to his home country following the fall of Colonel Gaddafi, who was captured and killed in 2011.

Lou Majaw, one of India’s original rock and roll bards performs at a musical evening on Sunday in honour of American singer and songwriter Bob Dylan for winning Nobel Prize for Literature at Cloud 9 in Shillong.

S

hillong, often described as “India’s rock capital”, is leading the way in honouring the American singer and songwriter Bob Dylan for winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.

On Sunday, the Meghalaya capital reverberated with Dylan numbers -- “Mr. Tam-

bourine Man”, “Blowin’ in the Wind”, “The Times They Are a-Changin” and many more at the downtown Café Shillong and Cloud 9. It’s all thanks to Lou Majaw, the Dylan of the East, for bringing together fans from across India and Europe here to honour the singer-writer “who redefined boundaries of

literature”.

“Dylan has given so much to the world through his writings. God Bless Bob Dylan and the world for awarding him with the prestigious award,” Majaw said.

He celebrates the legendary singer’s birthday on May 24 in Shillong every year.

en Affleck’s latest film, The Accountant, has topped the US box office on its opening weekend.

The crime drama, which also stars Anna Kendrick and Oscar winner JK Simmons, took $24.7m (£20.3m), holding off competition from Kevin Hart: What Now?.

T h e U S c o m e d i a n’s concert film took $11.98m (£9.83m). The two new entries knocked last week’s number one, The Girl On The Train, based on the novel of the same name by Paula Hawkins, down to number three.

The film, which stars Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux, took $11.97m (£9.82m) on its second weekend of release.

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children and Deepwater Horizon rounded off the top five with $8.9m (£7.3m) and $6.4m (£5.2m), respectively.

North American box office top five 1. The Accountant - $24.7m (£20.3m) 2. Kevin Hart: What Now? -

$11.98m (£9.83m) 3. The Girl on the Train $11.97m (£9.82m) 4. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children - $8.9m (£7.3m) 5. Deepwater Horizon - $6.4m (£5.2m) The success of The Accountant - in which Affleck’s character Christian Wolff uses his accountancy office as a front for his work for criminal organizations - is the continuation of a long partnership between the actor and Warner Bros.

Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros president of domestic distribution, said: “We’re in

the Ben Affleck business and we’re proud of it.

“Audiences just love him.

We’ve had a lot of movies with him and we have a lot of movies coming up with him.”

Affleck’s previous films with the company include 2014’s Gone Girl, which took $37.5m (£30.7m) on its opening weekend, and Argo, which launched with $19.5m (£16m) in 2012 and went on to win the best picture Oscar. His future projects with the studio include mob drama Live By Night, which opens at Christmas, as well as a number of films in the DC comics franchise.

He is currently in preproduction on The Batman, which he will star in, write and direct. The UK premiere of The Accountant takes place in London on Monday.

reen Day rocks the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 with its third chart-topping album, Revolution Radio. The band’s 12th studio effort enters atop the list with 95,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 13, according to Nielsen Music.

Of that sum, 90,000 were in traditional album sales.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

The new Oct. 29-dated chart (where Revolution Radio debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday,

MAMI won’t screen Pak film amidst protest threats

-- three studio albums released in quick succession in late 2012. Uno! and Dos! debuted and peaked at Nos. 2 and 9, respectively, while Tre! missed the top 10, peaking at No. 13 (its opening frame).

Overall, Revolution Radio is Green Day’s tenth top 10 album, stretching back to its breakthrough effort, Dookie, which peaked at No. 2 back in January of 1995.

fter a city-based social organisation threatened to protest against the upcoming MAMI Mumbai Film Festival for screening Pakistani film “Jago Hua Savera”, the organisers have decided not to showcase the movie.

The outfit, Sangharsh, had accused the organisers of playing with the nationalist sentiment of people of India, at a time of tension with Pakistan after the Uri terror attack. They had also sought police permission to protest over the screening of the 1958 Pakistani film at the 18th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival with Star, which begins from October 20.

“Given the current situation, the Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star has decided not to programme ‘Jago Hua Savera’ as part of the Restored Classics Section,” organisers of the festival said in a statement.

Directed by AJ Kardar, “Jago Hua Savera” was selected as the entry from Pakistan for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 32nd Academy Awards in 1960.

The film was co-produced during the days of undivided Pakistan (now independent Pakistan and Bangladesh) and shot in Dhaka.

It tells the tale of life in a small fishing village where everyone dreams of owning their own boat.

The film was set to be screened in the ‘restored classic’ section of the festival, which is chaired by superstar Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao.

Birthday Wishes Oct. 18.

Green Day last led the Billboard 200 more than seven years ago, with 21st Century Breakdown. That set debuted atop the chart dated May 30, 2009 and spent one week in the penthouse. Before that, the

band’s first No. 1, American Idiot, racked up three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 back in 2004 and 2005.

After 21st Century Breakdown, the band’s next studio project was the expansive Uno!, Dos!, Tre! series

LOS ANGELES, OCT 17 (AGENCIES): US superstar Serena Williams has withdrawn from the elite WTA Finals in Singapore, saying she’s still working to recover from the shoulder troubles that hindered her in 2016.

The WTA announced Williams’ withdrawal from the event that starts on October 23 on their Twitter feed, posting a video of Williams herself explaining the decision.

“Hey ever yone in Singapore,” Williams said.

“I’m really, really bummed that I won’t be able to come

compete this year.

“It’s been a really tough year for me just dealing so much with these shoulder injuries. My doctor insists that I stay home and heal it every single day.”

The 22-time Grand Slam champion pulled out of two tournaments in China after being knocked out of the semifinals of the US Open.

That defeat saw Williams’ 186-week reign atop the world rankings end as Germany’s Angelique Kerber reached the summit and captured the Flushing Meadows title into

the bargain.

Williams claimed just one Grand Slam title in 2016, at Wimbledon. After that, shoulder troubles hampered her in Rio where her hopes of a fifth Olympic gold medal were crushed in the third round.

Though she begins her next year in Auckland, fans were hoping to see her in Singapore but would be really shocked with her withdrawal.

She recently voted for Angelique Kerber as the Player of the Year and was also spotted going to a concert with Taylor Swift in New York.

Frontier FC thrashed Sangzi FC 2-0. Frontier FC scored through Nungsang (17) in the 2nd minute while Neitiethozo (9) slotted in another in the 62nd minute. Altogether, 17 teams- Frontier F.C, DEF.

Pune, Kerala play out 1-1 draw in ISL

Players vying for the ball during the match on Monday.

PUNE, OCT 17 (AGENCIES): FC Pune City fought hard for their first point at home after a 1-1 draw against Kerala Blasters in an Indian Super League (ISL) clash at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium in Pune on Monday. Cedric Hengbart scored the fastest goal of this season after he opened the account in the third minute itself but Pune’s marquee star Mohamed Sissoko struck in the 68th minute to rescue a point for the hosts. FC Pune City were forced into changes

at the back after Eduardo Ferreira remained suspended for this match with a red card in the previous match. The choice to have an all-Indian back four was always going to be risky and the coaching staff of Pune were left wondering if they made the right choice after Kerala Blasters surged ahead very early in the game.

The visitors got a dream start through Hengbart who scored the fastest goal in this edition, timed at 2.12 minutes.

A corner from Josu Currais was headed out of the danger

38th Akuluto Volley Ball Running Trophy concluded

Match-fixing was at its peak in 1996, says Shoaib Akhtar

DIMAPUR: The 38th Akuluto Volley Ball Running Trophy sponsored by Black Panthers Club concluded on October 13 with Aheto T. Kinimi, member Black Panthers Club and Nagaho H Aye, member Black Panthers Club as chief guests at the inaugural and closing functions respectively.

The tournament wrapped up with Khetoli Memorial Club as champions of the tournament and Dolphin club Lita Old, Lumami Sport Association and Lt. Hetoka Memorial club as 1st , 2nd and 3rd runners-up winning a cash prize of Rs. 60,000, Rs. 30,000, Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 5,000 respectively along with certificate and trophy.

Meanwhile, the Club has conveyed its gratitude to the chief guests for their cooperation contributed toward our club.

Black Panthers Club also extended its gratitude to Kuhovi, Commandant 8th NAP, Lipok and Nukshi (Referee official), all participating teams and well-wishers for their participation in our 38th Akuluto Volley Ball Running Trophy.

Karachi, Oct 17 (IANS): Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar claimed on Tuesday that match-fixing was at its rampant best in 1996 but himself refrained from getting involved in the malpractice.

“The atmosphere of the Pakistan dressing room was very strange...Trust me it was the worst possible dressing room,” Akhtar was quoted as saying by Geo News.

The “Rawalpindi Express” added he always stayed away from fixing circles and cautioned other people about it, advising team-mates to play with integrity and sincerity.

Akhtar also claimed to have warned fixing convict Mohammad Amir back in 2010 to avoid meeting people who could lure players to match fixing.

Amir served a five-year suspension after admitting to fixing in 2010. He returned to action last year and is now a regular in the Pakistan team.

Akhtar said he intervened to put an end to a recent public verbal dispute between Javed Miandad and Shahid Afridi, urging the two warring former Pakistan skippers to resolve the matter through

zone by the Pune defenders.

The ball, though, fell nicely for Azrack Mahamat, whose volley deflected of a defender and fell perfectly for an unmarked Hengbart and he made no mistake from close range to beat goalkeeper Edel Bete.

Kerala Blasters, unlike their rivals, had towering foreign defenders at the back and they rarely allowed space for Pune to operate. Central defenders Aaron Hughes and Hengbart combined well, restricting the home side to half chances in the opening 45

dialogue. “To resolve the matter through talks was the most possible solution. I spoke to Afridi and Javed bhai to settle the matter outside court. If it would have go to the court, then a lot of names would have cropped up,” Akhtar told Geo Tv. “My main concern was that. I told Afridi not to send a legal notice and advised Javed bhai to keep control of his anger and not say anything controversial in public. He exceeded limits by uttering unnecessary things.”

The 41-year-old said Miandad and Afridi’s spat could have opened a Pandora’s box, tarnishing Pakistan cricket’s image worldwide.

The bitter feud erupted when Miandad accused Afridi of fixing matches for money.

“Things are said in the heat of the moment and I also said some inappropriate things in the heat of the moment. I take them back,” Miandad said recently. They later resolved their differences, posting a video online in which Miandad took back his words and Afridi apologised, stating he had always considered Miandad as his elder brother.

MDFA Trophy: DYA enter semi finals

Match in action between DYA (yellow jersey) and Socianian F/C (red jersey)

Correspondent MOKOKCHUNG, OCT 17 (NPN): Second quarter final match of the MDFA Trophy 2016 saw Dilong Youth Association (DYA) sail through to the semi final after beating Socianian F/C 2-1 today.

Crowd favourite DYA gave a lacklustre display in the first half of the game as Socianian players also failed to prove their mettle in the ground.

DYA led the game early when striker Inshalu jersey (9) of DYA swiftly potted the ball from inside the D-box just in the 3rd minute of the

sports

game.

But that was the only goal for entire first half of the game as both the teams failed to score. It was only after the lemon break the match became exciting.

The equalizer for Socianian F/C came through the boots of Lipoktoshi jersey(12) in the 69th minute when a corner shot was quickly taken to materialize into a goal.

With the score 1-1, the match heated up as both the sides tried to get an edge over their opponent.

A free kick in the 78th minute taken by Bendangsunep (10) of DYA found the

net after deflecting the goal post was the deciding factor as DYA took the upper hand with the tally standing at 2-1.

DYA got another chance in the form of a penalty kick but it failed as the ball deflected off the goal post.

Though the Socianian F/C put in their best efforts for an equalizer, the heavy defences of DYA kept them from further scoring and thus at the end of 90 minutes of play, DYA took the honours with the score 2-1 to sail through to the semis.

Tuesday’s match: 1:30 PM Mongsenbai Youngsterz F/C Vs. Shitilong S/A

minutes. Most of the chances fell kindly for Dramane Traore.

The first came in the 24th minute when a cross from Izumi Arata was missed completely

by Hughes and fell at the feet of Traore. He only had to shoot past the goalkeeper but instead shot wide after needlessly delaying his attempt.

Traore wasted another opportunity in the 40th minute when Jesus Tato provided an excellent delivery from the right but the header, under a challenge from Hengbart, sailed wide.

FC Pune City continued with their attacks in the second session, hunting for the equaliser and it was Traore who went close again. A weak backpass from Josu was cleared just in time by goalkeeper Sandip Nandy before Traore could pounce on the opportunity. When Traore finally headed the ball inside the nets, he was flagged offside.

Pune, however, were not to be denied the equaliser in the 68th minute. A cross from Jonatan Lucca saw Sissoko take a shot at goal which deflected off Hughes and sneaked past the Kerala Blasters goalkeeper.

The draw meant FC Pune City picked up their first point at home after losing two matches in a row. They now have four points from four matches, while Kerala Blasters have five points from five matches and are unbeaten in three games.

Nick Kyrgios banned for eight weeks; fined $25,000 by ATP MELBOURNE, OCT 17 (AGENCIES): Australian Nick Kyrgios has been banned for eight tournament weeks and fined $25,000 (£20,560) for his behaviour - including “lack of best efforts” - during last week’s Shanghai Masters.

The 21-year-old patted the ball over the net several times when serving in his 6-3 6-1 defeat by Mischa Zverev.

He also began walking back to his chair before a Zverev serve had landed.

Kyrgios has agreed to an ATP plan that he consult a sports psychologist, which would reduce the ban to three weeks.

The world number 14 said he was “truly sorry” and would “use this time off to improve on and off the court”.

He added: “I regret that my year is ending this way. I do understand and respect the decision by the ATP. “The season has been a long one as I battled several injuries and other challenges towards the end of the summer.

“My body finally just gave out in Shanghai both physically and mentally.

“This is no excuse, and I know very well that I need to apologise to the fans.”

Kyrgios’ eight-week suspension would end on 15 January 2017, but by commit-

Nick Kyrgios

ting to the ATP’s “plan of care under the direction of a sports psychologist” he will be able to return on 7 November.

Tennis Australia said Kyrgios has agreed to seek professional help and that it would continue to offer advice.

During his match against Zverev, Kyrgios also argued with a fan and received a code violation for swearing, after which he was fined $16,500 (£13,546) for breaching the ATP code of conduct.

Last week, British world number two Andy Murray said he was “not convinced” a fine was the best solution.

“Sometimes players do need protecting. Sometimes he goes into press and says things

he regrets,” said the Scot.

“In those situations he maybe needs to be guided a little bit better.”

World number one Novak Djokovic said: “I share the opinion of many players and many people in the tennis world that he’s one of the greatest talents the game has seen lately.”

In 2015, Kyrgios was banned for 28 days and fined $25,000 for making lewd remarks about Stan Wawrinka’s girlfriend during a Rogers Cup match in Montreal.

He was also criticised for his displays at Wimbledon and the US Open, and withdrew from Rio 2016 following a row with the Australian Olympic Committee.
