NEDA to replace Cong in NE: Zeliang

Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 28 (NPN): Nagaland chief Minister T.R Zeliang expressed optimism that as NPF was a major partner of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), he hoped the alliance would install non-congress governments in all the NE States before the next 2019 Lok Sabha election.

Speaking at the one-day seminar cum workshop of press secretaries, at the conference hall organized by NPF central, Kohima Wednesday , the chief minister also expressed the hope that NEDA would strengthen the hands of the Prime Minister Modi especially in the Northeast region.

He urged the party workers/press secretaries to remain steadfast and continue to serve the people in their individual capacity. While lauding the party Press Bureau for organizing the programme, he also reminded the press secretaries to maintain good relations and insisted that reports should be fair, balanced and honest.

He illustrated it by citing the March 5, 2015 lynching of a rapist which went viral in a manner of minutes and how it caught the global attention.

Zeliang said be it Whatsapp or other social media applications, one should be a responsible user.

On the non-payment of salaries to the CSS appointed teachers, Zeliang regretted that inspite of the state deficit of

Dmu truck unions on lease system

DIMAPUR, SEP 28 (NPN): Coordination committee of the Dimapur District Truck Drivers Welfare Trade Union (DDTDWTU) and Dimapur District Truck Owners Association (DDTOA) has appealed to the state government to reconsider its move to lease out toll tax and fees for commercial vehicles to private individual, firm etc. from the month of October 2016, in the interest of the welfare its members and the public.

In a press release, DDTDWTU president H Kaiho Zhimo and DDTOA president Hokheto Kiba said the members of the two unions form the major tax payer of such toll fees and tax, hence the practical problems faced by truckers should also be heard. In the event the department failed to pay heed to the appeal, they warned that its members should not be held accountable for any untoward incident arising out of refusal to pay such tax.

This is it!

For me I feel it’s being oversmart.”

Rs 1,500 crores when he took over as chief minister on May 24, 2014, the inability to pay salaries of the CSS employees was being made as failure of the State Government.

He said when the government of India did not release the funds the state was helpless.

Further he said the state government was totally sympathetic to the plight of the teachers but that the government’s hands were tied in making any alternative arrangement. Zeliang reminded that despite scarcity of funds, the government had on several occasions in the past, advanced scarce resources to pay salaries of employees.

On Naga political issue, Zeliang reminded that it was UDF (now NPF) which was the only registered political party with ECI to have contested in the first Nagaland Assembly Elections in 1964 with the primary objective of “a political solution” to the Naga political issue. He said elected members had decided to pave way, if a solution to the Naga political

issue was brought about. He also reminded that after the first cease-fire agreement was signed between NNC and the government of India in 1964.

During that period, he said all legislators of the UDF resigned en bloc as a manifestation of the party’s stand for the Naga issue in letter and in spirit.

He also mentioned about the formation of Parliamentary Working Committee(PWC) on the Naga Political issue and meeting with central leaders at Delhi and other leaders to solicit their support for the solution of the Naga political issue and for discussion and approval in the parliament.

Zeliang said the resignations of 4 NPF MLAs in Manipur, in protest against the three anti-tribal Bills passed by the State Assembly last year, showed that NPF was a political party that stood by the people and prepared to do anything for its people.

EDBA backs CCoFA NH bandh call DIMAPUR, SEP 28 (NPN): East Dimapur Business Association (EDBA) as part of the Coordinating Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA) has fully backed and re-affirmed to stand by the September 10 public resolution to launch the indefinite national highway bandh till the demand for CBI inquiry on fuel adulteration racket was instituted by the state government.

In this regard, EDBA media cell appealed all to support and cooperate to ensure that the bandh was successful. Further, EDBA said it condemned the manner in which the fuel adulteration case is being handled by the competent authorities.

NHRA, CTYO support: Nagaland Hotel and Restaurant Association (NHRA) on Wednesday said it has re-affirmed and resolved to support the demand of Coordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA) for Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the fuel adulteration scam and re-arresting all the alleged fuel adulteration kingpins. In a press release, NHRA said state government’s failure

to implement the public resolution adopted on September 10, 2016, would compel the association to fully support CCoFA in enforcing ‘bandh’ on national highways within the state. “The ‘fuel adulteration scam’ is nothing, but a parasitic blood sucking networks to our ‘nascent Nagas economy’, it is a serious matter of human dignity and survival of our socioeconomy,” stated NHRA. CTYO: Endorsing full support to the ultimatum submitted to the government on September 23, Chumukedima Town Youth organisation (CTYO) said it would stand by the resolution and reiterated to leave no stone unturned till justice was delivered.

A press note by CTYO president, Vibu Doze and general secretary, Sekho Thakro stated that it was a legitimate public interest and legal right to fight against the people who were robbing the general public everyday.

NITI-A negates Art.371A: Jaykumar Modi’s promise to bring back black money and deposit Rs.15 lakh in every citizen’s account as “ the greatest bluff the universe has ever heard”. He said the country was in grave danger of losing its diverse culture with Modi’s propagation of RSS ideology to enforce the Uniform Civil Code.

He added “without Congress liberty, equality and fraternity will die.”

On the party’s condition in Nagaland, he expressed satisfaction that it has been streamlined with a realistic approach. He also highlighted the need for the party to formulate the right strategy under the prevailing circumstances such as what was done in Tamil Nadu where women candidates were given 50% seats to contest from. Jaykumar also gave his nod to the progress made by the NPCC and DCCs and assured he would appraise the AICC about it. Speaking on the occasion NPCC president K. Therie highlighted on the ‘roadmap’ of the NPCC and urged all rank and file especially DCCs to enlighten the vision of the party to the people.

Khriedi Thenüo vice president NPCC said Nagaland was blessed with certain privileges under the constitution of India including AICC while speaking on the topic “Special Provisions With Respect to Nagaland”.

He said while many talked about Art.371A and the 16Point Agreement, the clauses contained therein, were not addressed. He said though many of the provisions have been

fulfilled there were still some which were yet to be fulfilled.

Thenüo also urged AICC to honour the 10-Point Modalities signed by the state unit with the INC and honour and respect the fulfilment of other provisions. Jarjum Ete, general secretary AIMCC in-charge NE said she joined Congress despite being a woman activist since it was the party that initiated inclusion of all sections including women through the 73rd and 74th amendments.

Jarjum cited numerous women personalities who became successful as politicians and as home makers. She urged party to identify women candidates for the next election and ensure optimal use of the women quota. President of Manipur Pradesh Mahila Congress Committee Loitongbam Tilottama extolled the women reservation and challenged womenfolk to prove that they can do better than their male counterparts in politics.

The General Session was led by Ayang Aonok, Working President, NPCC, Invocation

by Thejalhousa Theünuo, Associate Pastor, Chiechama Baptist Church, special number presented by KDCC, and vote of thanks proposed by Dokiu Kecham, Gen Secy NPCC. The programme was followed by a seminar on ‘Clean Election’ with Jonathan Ao, Gen Secy, NPCC as moderator, while speakers included Dr. K. Jayakumar and K. Therie on ‘How to fight clean election’ and Kalühol Tase, Research Scholar on ‘Fiscal Management’.

political party shoulder the responsibility of upholding the ideology of the party. He said NPF and the government has often been attacked and criticized with unfounded allegations continuously by some organizations. He said the PS should defend the party wherever it was found that the party was not guilty but asked the PS not to be vindictive in defense.

Liezietsu said everybody talked about unity but Nagas are divided in too many forms.

He said there were few divisive forces working hard to divide the people, create enmity and communal feeling and questioned whether it was necessary to bring all these nefarious designs of few people, to the notice of the Nagas every day?

He expressed desire that Nagaland newspapers carry more of positive news to project the good image of Nagaland to the outside world as Nagas in reality, particularly the younger generation have been doing very well now.

While lauding the Press Bureau for organising the programme, Rajya Sabha MP K.G. Kenye said Nagas are politically hyper sensitive where one word could flare up into many controversies. He lauded the media houses for playing an important role, risking lives by dealing with issues in all sector.

NPF press secretary T.L Merry delivered the significance of the seminar. Earlier, Zeliang also launched the NPF official website, www.npforg.com.

Dimapur, Sep 28 (NPN): Naga Hoho Federal Assembly held on September 28, 2016 has appealed to the three Naga tribes-- Ao Senden, Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho -- to reconsider their decision to withdraw from Naga Hoho and actively participate in all the activities of the Hoho in the larger interest of the Naga society.

According to a statement issued by NH federal assembly speaker, Kenysung Tep, and assembly secretary, K.Elu Ndang, the Federal Assembly, consequent upon the disassociation of three Naga tribes from Naga Hoho on the issue of granting Indigenous Naga Tribe status to Rongmei community by the government of Nagaland, resolved to clarify its position.

It clarified that the Naga Hoho, on being approached by the government of Nagaland seeking the opinion of the hoho on recognition of Indigenous Status of Rongmei Tribe, conveyed the “unanimous and unambiguous views” of its presidential council held on September 5, 2008 in favour

KOHIMA, SEP 28 (NPN): While urging all to be cautious over making statements in the public domain on the Rongmei issue, as the matter was now sub-judice in the court, Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Wednesday was hopeful that the issue would be resolved soon. Addressing the seminar/workshop of NPF press secretaries in Kohima, Zeliang said since the matter was in the court, following the case filed by ZPO, discussions in public domain was not appropriate and may seem like interfering the court procedures.

In an apparent move to deflect pressure on Naga Hoho after the dissociation of three apex tribal bodies—Sumi Hoho, Lotha Hoho and Ao Senden, Zeliang pointed out that the recommendation for Rongmei tribe recognition was made during the term of the erstwhile Naga Hoho (NH) president, Keviletuo Kiewhuo and his predecessor, former chief minister Neiphiu Rio. He however said no one seemed to have questioned the former NH president at the time. But today, he said the present NH president has been cornered, which had confused the people. Zeliang maintained that it was not an issue where CM or party president could solve. He further appealed all to first confirm about issues before going to the media.

DIMAPUR, SEP 28 (NPN): AICC secretary in-charge Nagaland Dr. Jaykumar has cautioned that the disbandment of Planning Commission (PC) will negate special provisions under Article 371A affecting Nagaland which used to receive additional allocations as decided by the PC. Blasting NITI Aayog, Dr Kumar said it has no powers to allocate fund but only to serve as a mere instrument for “economic dictatorship” by prime minister Narendra Modi to release funds as dictated by the RSS. Dr Kumar accused ministers in the Modi government of coercing the Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh to re-defect en bloc for the second time within a month of installation.

He alleged that union surface transport minister Nitin Gadkari had called chief minister Pema Khandu and told him that funds for all ongoing projects in Arunachal would be cancelled. He said after three days, MoS for chemicals and fertilisers during a visit, asked Khandu to join BJP so that all the state’s financial needs would looked into. He said it was due to these, that Khandu again merged the Congress with the PPA. He said other Congress chief ministers in the region would also face similar threats and so it was imperative that the Congress returned to power at the Centre, to safeguard the special constitutional provisions for the north eastern states and minorities of India.

of granting of Indigenous Inhabitant status to Rongmei Community as per government notification dated April 28, 1977.

In the same letter, the NH said it also opined that the state government may exercise utmost care and deal with the matter with all seriousness so as to avoid any communal misgivings. Subsequently, the hoho said that after the state government decided to grant Indigenous Tribe status to the Rongmei Community in 2012, complaints were raised from Zeliang Peoples’ Organization (ZPO), which eventually took the matter to the court and the matter remained sub judice.

Meanwhile, NH has welcomed the September 26, 2016

decision of the state government to constitute a Cabinet Sub-Committee to study all aspects of the issue.

The Hoho expressed its belief that the state government has “arrived at this decision fully recognising the recent discontentment expressed by certain Naga tribes” on the decision of the state government to grant Indigenous Naga Tribe status to Rongmei community.

NH appealed to the cabinet sub-committee to take all stakeholders on board and make all out effort to arrive at a consensus amongst the Naga society and also review the status of the other Indigenous inhabitants of the state. According to the statement, the Federal Assembly, keeping

in view the seriousness of the issue and the dissociation of some federating units from Naga Hoho, resolved to set up an eleven-member Empowered Committee on Goodwill Mission to pursue the matter with the three tribes.

On the Municipal Act 2001, the house viewed that the Act was defective and therefore resolved that the Act must be amended at the earliest. Further, the house endorsed the matter to the Executive Council for further decision.

The Federal Assembly also pledged “to commit and rededicate ourselves to strengthen the sanctity of Naga Hoho against all forms of internal and external elements.”

JERUSALEM, SEP 28 (IANS): Shimon Peres, Israel’s former president and its eldest statesman, passed away in a hospital out- Shimon Peres side Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning. He was 93.

Peres, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and one of the most central figures in Israeli politics, died two weeks after he suffered a stroke, a spokesperson for the hospital confirmed to Xinhua.

Peres had been sedated and on respirator since he suffered a stroke on September 13 and hospitalised at the Chaim Sheba Medical Centre outside Tel Aviv. His family was expected to give a statement at 7.00 a.m. (local time).

On Tuesday afternoon, the media reported that the veteran statesman was “fighting for his life” after a critical deterioration in his condition.

US presidential debate ‘fixed’ to favour Hillary Clinton EA among five bodies shortNEW DELHI, SEP 28 (AGENCIES): When Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters that he’d been deliberately given a defective microphone during the first Presidential debate, he probably didn’t suspect that it wouldn’t be the only gadget-related controversy to come out of his first face-off with Hillary Clinton.

Some are accusing Hillary of carrying a concealed ‘communications’ device connected to an earpiece, which they suggest could have been used by the candidate to cheat during the debate. Their rationale? This photograph of a bulge that ran down the back of her pantsuit on the night of the debate.

And one Trump supporter even tweeted a photo which suggested the bulge could have been caused by a ‘coughing prevention machine,’ presumably a reference to Clinton’s being diagnosed with pneumonia.

“The initial reaction is that it is a microphone. But there are objections to this idea. The pack is a bit larger

than usual, but this is not an impossible thing. Some microphones have large battery packs,” the blog post said, “The next concern is that a tube appears to run from the box up to the base of her neck. Why the tube and why the base of the neck? Aren’t microphone cables quite thin these days, if not entirely wireless? Or are we merely seeing a fold in the back of her coat?”

It continued, “Finally,

the microphone appears on her chest, not at her collar. Why run a wire over your shoulder?

Something does not add up.

“And now, a picture has emerged that seems to show her wearing a nearly invisible earpiece. Is the earpiece real, or a trick of light? What is the earpiece for? Is it so a team can feed her answers? Is it an antiseizure device? A hearing aid?

“Clinton could be entirely innocent. But there’s a bigger

problem here, the fact that we are asking these questions at all. The fact they’re getting play in the press,” it said.

“This speaks to Clinton’s integrity. After decades of public service, the one thing Americans have learned about Hillary Clinton is that she lacks integrity. She has been caught in lies, caught hiding the truth, and even caught lying under oath.

“It would be good to know why such a device is vis-

ible on Clinton’s back and not Trump. What is the device? Is it a backup microphone? Then fine. All’s well that ends well.

“But can we as a nation afford to elect a candidate whose honesty, ethics and integrity are in constant question? Far from being an asset to the country, such a leader would be a detriment, even if the perception were false. And if the perception is accurate, she would be doubly dangerous.”

While some may try and and fit this into Trump’s “crooked Hillary” narrative (he’s called her that several times on Twitter), the device was probably connected to the lapel microphone that Clinton was wearing, as Snopes.com - a website that fact-checks dubious claims - reported.

And whether or not nonTrump supporters are buying the claims made about the photo, a majority of Americans don’t think of Hillary Clinton as an honest candidate. Upto 66% of Americans hold that view, an Agence France Presse report said before the debate.

Imtiwapang Aier urges research scholars to focus on societal benefits

Correspondent

KO H I M A , S E P T. 2 8 .

(NPN): Parliamentary secretary of Geology and Mining, Dr. Imtiwapang Aier said the scientific attitude should be for societal benefit rather than science which dealt only with research or for academic purpose while addressing a host of research scholars as the chief guest during the national seminar on Interdisciplinary Research In Chemical Sciences (NSIRCS) -2016 at Kohima Science College Jotsoma on Wednesday.

Dr. Aier said at the time of India’s independence the scientific and technological infrastructure was not up to the mark when compared with developed nations, however the resolution on scientific policy passed by the parliament on March 4, 1958 made a powerful nation. He reminded that much of the present progress of human kind was associated with science making the world a global village.

Parliamentary secretary opined that this interdisciplinary approach would conglomerate different streams into a single block that would

be useful for the development and management of mankind with a vision for the nation and for the North East people in particular that would bring inclusive growth in the region. Dr. Aier said he strongly believed that this scientific seminar would provide a solid platform for the eminent scientist, researchers, technologist and students from both outside and within the state to exchange their views and ideas and share their findings which would play a vital role of interdisciplinary research in chemical sciences for humanity.

He reminded the gathering that chemistry has led to creation of bags for robotic landings on the planet Mars, nano-technology leading to advance materials, devices and applications in energy, medicine and electronic to improve life, health care safety etc.

However, he said the as technology advances, the regulating system should keep pace with the applications of chemistry and chemical management law must be updated to adapt to scientific advancements and to promote that chemical products are safe for intended users.

Centre of advanced study and department of chemistry NEHU Shillong, Prof. R.H. Duncan Lyngdoh spoke about metalmetal bonds in transition metal chemistry, Wernerian coordination complexes, discovery of metal–metal (MM) bonds, scope of MM bonds in binuclear and polynuclear complexes and others.

beyond boundaries. She said this kind of seminar was very essential as it held the key to many problems, which together with collective effort and sharing could shed the light for solution.

The programme was attended by eminent researchers, scholars and lecturers (chemistry) from various universities like Pondicherry, Manipur, Dispur, Guwahati, NEHU, Pakai Christian College, SASARD, Nagaland, Fazl Ali College and others.

Mnp BJP hits back Cong’s allegation on sport varsity

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Sep 28: Manipur BJP Wednesday hit back at Chief Minister’s recent attack on the party saying that despite giving land, the BJP led NDA government failed to initiate ground work for the construction of National Sports University in Manipur.

Addressing a state-level Mahila Congress Campaign Committee meeting held in Imphal’s Congress Bhawan on Monday, Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh blamed the Central government for delaying in the commencement of ground work for construction of National Sports University at Yaithibi Loukon in Thoubal district.

“We don’t know what the Centre is waiting for till date,” the Chief Minister

asked informing that the state government had already provided 400 acres of land for the construction of the varsity.

Ibobi had further said that ever since the BJP led NDA came to power at the Centre some two and half years ago, all they have done was give lip service.

They have never taken up any actual work of development, he said attacking the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.

Hitting back the chief minister, convener of BJP Election Committee Th Chaoba rejected the resolving the land dispute saying that Ibobi government was yet to settle the land dispute and Centre will not initiate any action to start the ground work until the land dispute is resolved.

“Why is Ibobi blaming the BJP when the state

government had provided a disputed site for the construction of the sport university,” Chaoba asked.

He said that a patch of land measuring about 34 acres falling in the middle was still has not been acquired by the state so far.

He demanded government to clarify who had bought the lands from the actual land owners.

Because of this it has not been possible to start the construction work for the proposed National Sports University, he added.

Regarding the non-release of the fund, he claimed that the sport university was to be constructed by the Centre, not by the state government. “Not a single amount of money will be released to the state government, he added.

Gauhati HC seeks M’laya Court convicts raped accused case diary for Correspondent after the prosecution failed to establish or prove the case beKaziranga violence ghalaya Shillong, Sep 28: A Me- yond reasonable doubt under Court has sentenced section (U/S) 232 criminal G U WA H A T I , S E P 2 8 (Agencies): Gauhati high court on Wednesday asked Assam Police to furnish the case diary of a case connected to the eviction drive in three villages near the Kaziranga National Park within October 5. Two persons were killed and several others injured when angry villagers turned violent and police resorted to firing to disperse the mob.

The high court response came after peasant leader Akhil Gogoi sought an anticipatory bail in a case slapped on him in connection with the incident.

Police had slapped serious charges like obstructing government officials from discharging their duty, abetting the incident, among others, on Akhil.

Akhil was accused of instigating the villagers during the eviction drive, leading to the clash in which two people lost their lives. The peasant leader was seen at the protest site before the clash.

a man convicted of raping a minor school girl to 10 years rigorous imprisonment after a Fast Track Court had acquitted him.

On November 30, 2011, Small Phawa had raped a 14year-old girl in a forested area after abducting her. The minor was staying as a tenant along with her parents in Phawa’s house at Riatsiatsim area under Jowai police station in West Jaintia Hills district.

In its judgment pronounced on Tuesday, Judge of District and Sessions Court in West Jaintia Hills, B. Giri, said, “Taking into consideration the nature of the offence, ends of justice will be met if accused is sentence to a period of 10 years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs 5000 and in default of payment of fine the accused is to serve another 1 year simple imprisonment.” Last year, the Fast Track Court, Jowai had acquitted Phawa in the case

procedure code.

However, the victim’s mother approached the Meghalaya High Court, which later transferred the case to the district session court of West Jaintia Hills and ordered retrial by this court. In her order, Giri also directed that Phawa should be taken into custody to serve out his sentence. The court also directed that the victim should be given compensation as envisaged under the Meghalaya Victim Compensation Scheme, 2014.“The victim in this case is to be given compensation of Rs 1 lakh to be paid by the District Legal Service Authority of West Jaintia hills district within a period of 90 days,” it stated in its order. The court further stated that the operation of the account and procedure of payment is to be decided by the District Legal Service Authority as per the scheme and accordingly submit a report of compliance.

MNF to writes to President, PM Peace talks Imphal hosts Intl conference on NE India demanding Prez rule in Mizoram between HPC(D),

Aizawl, Sep 28 (PTI): Opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) will write to President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting the Congress government’s “complete failure” in maintaining law and order in Mizoram and urging them to impose President’s rule in the state.

Former Chief Minister Zoramthanga told reporters yesterday that Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court Ajit Singh had in a letter to Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla clearly pointed out that there was a “complete breakdown” of law and order in Lunglei district of Mizoram.

“In a democracy, the three pillars should work together,” Zoramthanga said, pointing out that “there is no judiciary in Lunglei district as the Gauhati High Court withdrew the whole judiciary from the district due to security reasons”.

He said if one of the pillars of democracy could not function, the only alternative was to place the state under President’s rule. If the same situation arose during the MNF rule, when the Congress was in power at the Centre, Mizoram would be

placed under President’s rule immediately, the MNF chief claimed. A mob belonging to Zohnuai locality of Lunglei had attacked district court buildings with stones and bricks and ransacked the official residence of the Civil Judge on Thursday last.

A crowd had gathered in front of the district court demanding to see Stephen Lalchawiliana (26) who was to be produced before the court for allegedly killing C Lalsawmliana (33) of Zohnuai locality of Lunglei on August 27 night.

The crowd turned unruly after learning that the accused was already remanded to judicial custody by holding a camp court inside the district jail.

The incident resulted in the Gauhati High Court withdrawing all the three judges from Aizawl, including the District and Sessions Judge R. Thanga and attaching them to Aizawl on Thursday itself.

The High Court also directed the judicial officer of neihbouring Lawngtlai district who used to hold circuit court in Lunglei district not to continue holding circuit court in Lunglei district till further orders.

Aizawl, Sep 28 (PTI); Representatives of the Mizoram government and the Hmar People’s Convention (Democratic) militants will hold the second round of peace talks in Aizawl on October 5, Additional Secretary for the state home department Lalbiakzama today said.

Lalbiakzama told PTI that some of the six-member HPC (D) delegation led by Lalthalien were expected to arrive in Aizawl on Tuesday next.

The second round of parleys scheduled to be held in mid-September was deferred as the government delegation members were having tight schedules due to Bru repatriation issues.

Sources in the Hmar People’s Convention (D) said the second round of talks would deliberate on demands of the Hmar outfit seeking greater autonomy and power for the Sinlung Hill Development Council (SHDC) constituted after the erstwhile underground HPC and the state government signed an agreement in 1994.

magnificent cultural relation based on deep rooted cultural, religious and neighbourly association between India and Myanmar. Heptulla appreciated the objective of the conference and said that the common heritage of Buddhism and the philosophy of compassion, tolerance, non-violence and peace had laid strong foundations for the relationship.

“It is the right and appropriate time to hold the conference as Northeast India is on the verge of a historical leap forward under the new development policy of Look East or Act East of the Government of India,” she said.

She asserted that Myanmar plays a significant role in spreading Indian culture, trade, commerce, philosophy, customs, religious practices and belief systems through land to other South East Asian Countries.

“Records have shown that some of the ethnic groups had migrated from Myanmar, Mongolia, Tibet, China, Laos Cambodia and Thailand.

They are still maintaining languages, traditions, arts,

crafts life styles as well as traditional religious practices,” Heptulla said.

The cultural bond of between NE India and Myanmar extends to the field of music and literature such as the similarities of music instruments and the influence of Indian epics like the Ramayana which has various versions in the South East Asian countries. Another common feature was the use of red colour to symbolize bravery and also the frequent use of black as back ground or in combination with other colours. The textiles found on both sides have intricate designs of human and animal figures, she added.

The chief guest wished that the conference will look into the different aspects of the NE cultural traditions and their evolution through time and will come up with ideas to keep pace with the changing environment, believe so that cultural relations run deeper than relations among the peoples saying that there were no strict concepts of geographical frontiers in the ancient times and further.

Afghan, B’desh, Bhutan join India in boycotting Islamabad Saarc Summit deterioration of regional peace and security due to terrorism and joins them in conveying our inability to participate in the Saarc Summit, under the current circumstances,” the message from Thimpu on Tuesday said.

Sri Lanka, it is learned, has said that the event would not be possible without India’s participation.

India on Tuesday announced that it was pulling out of the Islamabad summit after the September 18 cross-border terror attack on an Indian Army base in Uri town of Jammu and Kashmir that claimed the lives of 18 soldiers.

The attack came amid large-scale violence in Kashmir Valley that left around 90 people dead in the wake of the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani on July 8.

In a statement on Tuesday, India said increasing crossborder terrorist attacks in the region and growing interference in the internal affairs of Saarc

member-states “by one country” have created an environment that was not conducive to the successful holding of the 19th Saarc summit.

Ministr y of Exter nal Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said that India has conveyed to current Saarc chair Nepal its decision not to attend the summit, for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to go.

“India remains steadfast in its commitment to regional cooperation, connectivity and contacts but believes that these can only go forward in an atmosphere free of terror.

“In the prevailing circumstances, the Government of India is unable to participate in the proposed summit in Islamabad,” he said in the statement.

Pakistan has termed the boycott decision as “unfortunate”.

The US has also said that it was pressurising Pakistan to act against terror safe havens within its borders.

India to ratify Paris climate deal

Katju booked for sedition for remarks on Bihar

NEW DELHI, SEP 28 (IANS): Following the diplomatic blitzkrieg launched by New Delhi, Pakistan is virtually getting isolated in the region with Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Bhutan joining India in boycotting the annual Saarc Summit scheduled to be hosted by Islamabad in November.

“Due to increased level of violence and fighting as a result of imposed terrorism on Afghanistan, President of Afghanistan Mohammad Ashraf Ghani with his responsibilities as the Commander in Chief will be fully engaged, and will not be able to attend the summit,” sources quoted Kabul as saying in a message to Saarc chair Nepal on Tuesday.

In a similar message to Nepal, Bangladesh on Tuesday said: “The growing interference in the internal affairs of Bangladesh by one country has created an environment which is not conducive to the successful hosting of the 19th Saarc (South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation) Sum-

NEW DELHI, SEP 28 (PTI): The government today approved the proposal for ratification of the “historic” Paris climate deal which will be formalised on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, making India one of the key countries to bring the pact into force.

The nod by the Union Cabinet comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the decision which is expected to give momentum to implementation of measures at international level to control global warming.

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said, with this, India will be one of the key countries which will be instrumental in bringing the Paris Agreement into force.

“Today the Union Cabinet approved the ratification of Paris Agreement which is a historic decision. With the ratification, India will be one of the key countries instrumental in bringing the Paris Agreement into force,” Javadekar told reporters here.

The decision will further underline India’s responsive leadership, which is committed to global cause of environment protection and climate justice, he said.

Javadekar said the pact

mit in Islamabad in November 2016.”

“Bangladesh, as the initiator of the Saarc process, remains steadfast in its commitment to regional cooperation, connectivity and contacts but believes that these can only go forward in a more congenial atmosphere,” the message said.

“In view of the above, Bangladesh is unable to participate in the proposed summit in Islamabad.”

In its message to Nepal, Bhutan, while reaffirming its strong commitment to the Saarc process and strengthening of regional cooperation, noted that “the concern of the Royal Government of Bhutan on the recent escalation of terrorism in the region, which has seriously compromised the environment for the successful holding of the 19th SAARC Summit in Islamabad in November 2016”, it is learned.

“Further, the Royal Government of Bhutan shares the concerns of some of the member countries of Saarc on the

will come into force after it has been ratified by at least 55 countries which account for 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

So far, 61 countries have deposited their instruments of ratification, acceptance or approval accounting in total for 47.79 per cent of the total global greenhouse gas emissions.

India’s decision to ratify the Agreement will take the number of cumulative level of emission of countries that have ratified the Agreement so far to 51.89 per cent as its total emissions is 4.1 per cent of the global emissions.

“Because of India’s push, now the world will ratify the deal soon. It will become irreversible course of action for humankind. It is a common resolve to keep temperature rise below two degrees Celsius.

Now that target is achievable,” Javadekar said.

The Minister had earlier told reporters that the cumulative emissions of 61 countries put together was 51.89 per cent and India’s ratification will help bridge the remaining 3 per cent to fulfil the second condition.

Though the UN secretariat is closed on weekends, it will remain open specifically

to allow India ratify the deal, Javadekar said.

Paris Agreement was adopted by 185 nations last year on December 12 and India signed it in New York on April 22 this year. A total of 191 countries have signed the Paris Agreement so far.

With the momentum gathering and willingness expressed by several other countries to ratify the agreement before the end of this year, it is expected that the deal will enter into force soon and give a thrust to the global actions to address climate change, an official statement said.

Noting that the four-year period between 2016-2020 is also important, Javadekar said that India has played its part and now will remind the world community that their pre-2020 actions are also important.

During the recent BJP’s National Council meet in Kozhikode, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said,” There is one work left in the CoP21 (Conference of Parties).

“Ratification is yet to be done and India too is yet to do it. Today on the birth anniversary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay, I announce that India will ratify the decisions on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.”

PATNA, SEP 28 (PTI): As the row over his remarks on Bihar raged on, former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju has been booked on sedition charge following a complaint by a JD(U) MLC against his online post that Kashmir should be offered to Pakistan on the condition that it takes Bihar too.

Another complaint was also filed today in the district court against Katju, who hit back at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his critical remarks and churned out more taunting posts.

Katju has been booked under 124-A (sedition) and other sections of IPC, according to SHO of Shashtrinagar police station Birendra Pratap.

JD(U) MLC and its state spokesman Neeraj Kumar had last evening lodged a complaint in the police station here against Katju seeking his prosecution for alleged sedition .

M e a n w h i l e, l aw ye r, Arvind Kumar, filed a petition in the court of Patna Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Om Prakash against Katju.

Dengue: Two more deaths, toll rises to 21 NEW DELHI, SEP 28 (PTI): Two more deaths due to dengue, including that of young boy, have been reported in Delhi, which took to 21 the number of fatalities due to the vector-borne disease in the national capital. The total number of dengue cases in Delhi has gone up to 1,692 with 921 of them being reported this month, according to a municipal report. Both the deaths occurred recently, one at Safdarjung Hospital and the other at Lok Nayak Jaiprakash (LNJP) Hospital.

“A young boy from Delhi died due to dengue at our hospital on Friday,” Medical Superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital A K Rai said. Authorities at LNJP today also confirmed the death at the hospital, saying, “a person recently died of dengue here.” This is the third dengue death at LNJP Hospital, the biggest hospital under the Delhi government. The first dengue victim this season was a 17year-old girl from Jafrabad in northeast Delhi who had died on July 21 at this hospital.

Another person had died over a month later.

‘Terrorism biggest threat to intl peace’ ABUJA, SEP 28 (PTI): In a veiled attack on Pakistan, India today condemned the use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy, describing the menace as the biggest threat to international peace and to the sovereignty of states as well as pluralist and open societies.

“Your country, like my own, has suffered the horrors of this scourge of humanity. Terrorism today has global reach, no city remains safe. There is a new level of threat to pluralist nd open societies,” Vice President Hamid Ansari said in his address to officers of the National Defence College here in the Nigerian capital.

“Today, the biggest threat to international peace, and to the sovereignty of States, is Terrorism. Kautilya called it ‘secret war’,” he said while speaking on ‘Emerging Security Imperatives in the context of India-Nigeria relations’. “No cause justifies the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians as a means to achieve a political goal or change of policies,” he said, adding that terrorism is one of the most egregious sources of human right violations, and it has become a major impediment to development.

Nigeria has witnessed

multiple attacks by Boko Haram, which opposes western education and wants to set up an Islamic caliphate in Africa’s most populous country.

In 2013, the US designated it a terrorist outfit, amid fears that it had developed links with other groups such as alQaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to wage a global jihad.

In one of the major attacks, the Boko Haram militants captured approximately 300 girls - between the ages of 16 and 18 - from a boarding school in Nigeria’s Borno state in 2014.

“Nigeria, like India, has suffered the horrors of this scourge of humanity and use of terrorism as an instrument of State policy is to be unequivocally condemned,” he said, without directly naming Pakistan. “There can be no distinction between good and bad terrorists. A terrorist is a terrorist; one who commits crimes against humanity cannot have any religion, or be afforded any political sanctuary,” he said, referring to Pakistan’s policy of diving the Taliban militants into good and bad categories.

Vol. XXVI NO. 293 Dimapur, Thursday, September 29, 2016

Muted and confused

N

agaland, which had emerged from its past history of inhuman suffering, is being hemmed in by polarized politics in almost all aspects and amidst the cacophony, the resonant voices calling for “unity” and so also for “peace” seem to follow the familiar cliché. Both “unity” and “peace” is about promoting a free society, where various sections live in understanding so that they can live in harmony that results in the creation of a conducive balm for boosting self esteem and confidence in the system. An important link for boosting unity, peace and harmony places other requirements from individuals at various positions of society. One is rational logic amid the hyper rhetoric. Logic is the link and understanding to a fast developing world without wisdom. To mention, Naga polity which has been befuddled by those who have made a pastime of the past and those either in public life or in high echelons who seem to see a lot of visions are like opposite forces that have de-accelerated the move of society from metamorphosing into a progressive organism.

Organisations, both political, semi-political and tribal including voluntary organizations have taken centre stage. Their message is that individuals need to take refuge under the umbrella of such organizations or groupings, without which, they face the prospects of being orphaned. When individuals provide rational inputs, even if they may not be wholly accepted, yet these are the voices of society and cannot be treated otherwise. Even as emotive social and political issues create a cacophony of voices, rational views seem too few and far between. With regard to the Naga political issue and the expected solution; the chief minister T.R.Zeliang had asked people not to speculate on the framework agreement and ask him if there was any doubt. Such a highly emotive issue that has been kept under wraps and on which the chief minister himself( according to his own admission) was ignorant about; was indeed going off on a tangent. People speculate since they are selfacclaimed experts or may have got a small lead from some other sources, to expound on their opinions. Absence of free, frank and fearless and informed debate is reflective of the lack of true democracy because people do not want to talk openly lest it be considered as going against the grain of those who dominate politics. Sometimes this has been taken to its extreme limits. Politicians, society’s leaders and thinkers today need to speak honestly and boldly, so that society can look towards stepping into the realm of progressive development from the dead sea of rhetoric, insane logic and hegemony of ideology that has possessed people for as many decades. Times have brought about rapid and drastic changes in the human minds and also brought about new awareness and understanding and new challenges. It is no longer revolution but evolution that today’s generation must confront if they are to take their rightful place as people with a future and not grounded with the past. If there are societies and communities throughout the world that understand and accept realities, it is a measure of their mental and spiritual progress to maturity. It is from there on that their politicians and leaders of society can address the realities and apply their wisdom to see the road ahead.

DailyDevotion The “Go” of Unconditional Identification Jesus…said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor…and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” —Mark 10:21 The rich young ruler had the controlling passion to be perfect. When he saw Jesus Christ, he wanted to be like Him. Our Lord never places anyone’s personal holiness above everything else when He calls a disciple. Jesus’ primary consideration is my absolute annihilation of my right to myself and my identification with Him, which means having a relationship with Him in which there are no other relationships. Luke14:26 has nothing to do with salvation or sanctification, but deals solely with unconditional identification with Jesus Christ. Very few of us truly know what is meant by the absolute “go” of unconditional identification with, and abandonment and surrender to, Jesus.

“Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him…” (Mark 10:21).

This look of Jesus will require breaking your heart away forever from allegiance to any other person or thing. Has Jesus ever looked in this way at you? This look of Jesus transforms, penetrates, and captivates. Where you are soft and pliable with God is where the Lord has looked at you.

If you are hard and vindictive, insistent on having your own way, and always certain that the other person is more likely to be in the wrong than you are, then there are whole areas of your nature that have never been transformed by His gaze.

“One thing you lack….” From Jesus Christ’s perspective, oneness with Him, with nothing between, is the only good thing. “…sell whatever you have….” I must humble myself until I am merely a living person. I must essentially renounce possessions of all kinds, not for salvation (for only one thing saves a person and that is absolute reliance in faith upon Jesus Christ), but to follow Jesus. “…come…and follow Me.” And the road is the way He went.

aluchistan in Pakistan is like our Kashmir, an integral part but still rebellious after almost 70 years of Maharaja Hari Singh’s accession to India. However, in India’s case first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru gave an undertaking to hold a plebiscite as soon as things had settled in the valley. He could not fulfill the promise.

Nehru found out that things will be reduced to a slogan, Gita versus Koran, and people would be so driven by religious sentiments that they would not be exercising their franchise. When the acclaimed leader Sheikh Abdullah joined the Union, he conceded the point that a popular verdict had been obtained and it amounted to a plebiscite and, with it, the accession was complete.

What happened in Uri is a symptom, not the disease. The disease is that the youth which is now leading a movement want a country of their own.

In the same way, Baluchistan wants to secede from Pakistan and have an independent coun-

n apropos to the news items by so called press secretary, MIP of Kiumukam Yim on 27th Sept, it seems you are familiar with neither GDRN/NNC(Non-Accord) nor NNC(Non-Accord) so far, for he was chewing the cud in his sleep for what the GDRN/NNC(non-accord) have already narrated about what was happened to Kiumukam Yim ex-president. For people in the whole Nagas land who have seen or heard who have ears and it need not recount the unusable episodes again and again. But let me explain once again why and how he was impeached from GDRN government because he behaves an unmatured manner, and please do tell him not to compromised his strength for nation with materialistic capital, also why he refused to attend meeting when call for moreover, why did he hide away from government? He has something guilty sense to face the members. It was like rotten potato’s who may destroyed the nearby, fortunately he was impeached in right time through Democratic means otherwise the Naga political groups in particulars and the Nagas in general might gave a big jeered and booed the GDRN government. So, if you want his tales, we could have fussily narrated everything and you may find a gaped in wonder. It was not you, but we was constant contact in every way knew well that he the Ex-President always felt fear of being afraid of things disclosed and might ruin his image before publics and Naga nation. Mr. Major, press secretary, MIP not Lt.col. as claimed, you are not familiar with GDRN government and could not pronounced or spell out names means you are more or less pro-Indians.

However, if you are a Nagas and adopt the Naga’s culture and customs, then you could have worked out well. In my Naga’s customary laws, You, Secretary is too young to call our collective leaders by name.

However, if you want to harp any allegation against our collective leaders you must harp the right strings which can let peoples know what you are really harping.

Uri is only a symptom

try. That, if granted, would be another Islamic country on our border.

I told the Kashmiri students during my recent visit to Srinagar at their invitation that the Lok Sabha would be in no mood to endorse anything like what they wished. They said it was “your problem how you bring about the change.” The demand by the youth for an independent sovereign country is in contrast to what leaders like Yasin Malik and Shabbir Shah had wanted some years ago. It is another matter that Yasin has now joined the chorus.

Pakistan has now become relevant for the people in the valley because they, too, have changed their demand from autonomy to an Islamic independent country. The attack on the Indian soldiers on the border is the culmination of their anger. Pakistan, too, has found the climate somewhat suited to it and has increased the number of infiltrators into the valley.

But this is not the first time that Pakistan has sent infiltrators into India. Nor will it

I have no doubt that one day this would come about. Former Prime Ministers Atal Behari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh have said many a time that the destiny has thrown India and Pakistan together and they cannot but be good neighbours.

I admired the courage and commitment of people, however small in number, lighting candles at Karachi or taking out a procession at Lahore some years ago in memory of those who had died in the Mumbai attack. This is the time when India needs understanding.

This is also the occasion when faith in good relations between India and Pakistan is tested.

But at the same time, Pakistan should understand and appreciate India’s anger.

Those who attacked Mumbai or Pathankot might be the AlQaida and the Taliban who are playing havoc in Pakistan as well. These are the organizations which are helping, training and arming them.

Why have such extremists remained beyond the pale of law?

Post-mortem

Disadvantages of water India must honor her word to the Naga people scarcity faced by people

I

ndia would claim that the Naga lands---as part of the Lieutenant Governorship of Bengal, and thereafter, of the Chief Commissionership of Assam, and finally, of the province of Assam---was part and parcel of British India, and therefore became part of the Dominion of India by virtue of the Indian Independence Act of 1947 (Y.D. Gundevia, War and Peace in Nagaland, 1975, p. 50).

This above argument or claim

by India is grossly misleading. Historically, the Naga people had never given up the ownership rights of their homeland to the British (refer to my previous three articles onUrraUvie).

In this sense, the British had no legal right to hand over the Naga homeland to India.

Also, to argue that the Naga Hills District became a part of British India as any other state in India is to ignore some very important historical facts: First, the British’s introduction of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Naga Hills on November 1, 1873 is a testament to the fact that the Naga country was treated very differently from mainland India. That small travel-pass was more or less like a visa, which everyone from mainland India was required to obtain if he or she wanted to enter the Naga country. Second, the Naga Club submitted a memorandum to the Indian Statutory Commission led by Sir John Simon on October 10, 1929 at Kohima, asking the British government to continue safeguarding the rights of the Nagas “against all encroachment from other people.” Consequently, the British Parliament recognized the Naga Hills District on March 3, 1935 as “Excluded Area” from the British India administrative jurisdiction. Third, the Naga Hills District was administered directly by the Governor of Assam instead of the Assam Legislature.

Prior to granting independence to India, the British proposed to turn most of North-East India into a Crown colony. But this proposal was met with opposition from the Nagas. (Had the Nagas accepted it, India would have lost most of North-East India.) In connection with this proposed British colony, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru also acknowledged that the Naga-inhabited areas did not belong to any anyone else. On August 19, 1946, he said: “The Tribal Areas are defined as being those long Frontiers of India which are neither part of India nor Burma, nor of Indian States nor of any foreign power.” Interestingly, this was what he said as a freedom-fighter a year before India became independent.

As for the position of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, on the rights of the Naga people, he made it crystal clear when he met with the leaders of the Naga National Council (NNC) at his Bhangi Colony, New

Delhi, on July 19, 1947. Among other things, Gandhi said: “If you say that you are not Indians and your country does not belong to India, then the matter ends there. Nobody will force you to join the Indian Union.” Also, he added: “The Nagas have every right to be independent. We do not want to live under the domination of the British and now they are leaving us.”

Obviously, Mr. Gandhi’s statements were not his own personal opinion but a reiteration of the Constituent Assembly’s resolution no. 2, out of the 8 resolutions adopted on 22nd January, 1947, which states: “Wherein the territories that now comprise British India, the territories that now form the Indian States, and such other parts of India as are outside British India and the states as well as such other territories as are willing to be constituted into the Independent Sovereign India shall be a Union of them all” (italics added).

Put it another way, Gandhi’s position was that the Nagas have every right to be on their own if they are unwilling to join the Indian Union.

On the basis of a very different Naga political history, the preindependence attitude of the Indian leaders towards the Nagas was very clear: that the Nagas’ political right was unique. That was why the Nine-Point Agreement was reached between the Government of India (GoI) and the NNC on 28th June, 1947. Under this Agreement, the GoI agreed: “(1) to bring back into the Naga Hills District all the forests transferred to Sibsagar and Nowgong Districts in the past, and (2) to bring under one administrative unit as far as possible all Nagas …” (No. 6). In other words, the early Indian leaders had already offered an honorable settlement to the NNC by promising to return all the Naga ancestral territories and to amalgamate all the Naga-inhabited areas under one administrative unit. This Agreement was signed by Sir Akbar Hydari, the then Governor of Assam as the central agent and Mr. GopinathBordoloi, the then Prime Minister of undivided Assam, on behalf of his people.

When the NNC leaders of that time wanted a further official confirmation of India’s sincerity, both the previously mentioned Indian emissaries reassured the Nagas in no uncertain terms “that the agreement reached between His Excellency and the Naga leaders in June, 1947, will be implemented” (Memo No. 88C/47-570-72, the 22nd June, 1948; also Memo No. 490/C, the 11th June, 1948). This was certainly the position of both the parties at that point of time, although they later interpreted Point No. 9 in the Agreement differently.

But as far as the other 8 points in the Agreement were concerned, there was no disagreement.

Unfortunately, both Sir Hydari and Mr. Bordoloi died shortly after the Agreement was signed. Now, the question is this: Is this Agreement to be regarded as already dead? From the perspective of some later Indian leaders, the Nine-Point Agreement was never ratified and therefore not valid. At least, the first Prime Minister of India, Mr. Nehru, did acknowledge that there was an agreement with NNC, “but for obvious reasons it could not be implemented.” This raises the question, what could be behind the “obvious reasons”? Was it the fear that this Agreement could jeopardize the national security of the Indian State?

What has been missing from the Nine-Point Agreement is only the implementation part. Contrary to some opinions, the document as such must still be considered legally binding for the following reasons: First, it has never been officially abrogated, so no one can just wish it away by simply ignoring it. Nor can it be said that it has been superseded by the granting of the Statehood in 1963, which was an arrangement done with a different group. Second, this was a pre-independence Agreement between the Indian representatives and the Naga national leaders at the highest level, which happened even before Mr. Nehru became the first Prime Minister and Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India. In other words, this was a pre-independence treaty duly signed between two emerging nations.

Because of this reason, the need for ratification does not arise. Third, the fact that this Agreement is still legally valid can be supported by the Indian Constitution which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November, 1949. For example, Article 363 of the Constitution of India clearly states: “Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution but subject to the provisions of article 143, neither the Supreme Court nor any other court shall have jurisdiction in any dispute arising out of any provision of a treaty, agreement, covenant, engagement, sanad or other similar instrumentwhich was entered into and executed before the commencement of this Constitution by any ruler of an Indian State and to which the Governor of the Dominion of India or any of his predecessor Governments was a party [italics added] and which has or has been continued in operation after such commencement …” (see also Article 131).

In short, India is, in my opinion, still constitutionally boundto fulfill her commitment made to the Naga people in the Nine-Point Agreement of 1947, as much as the Naga people are also under obligation to live by the same Agreement made to the Indian people.

RMSA (2013) Tuensang unit demands pending salary

R

MSA (2013) Tuensang Unit is compelled to Issue this press Release as the department concerns has failed in releasing salaries from April till date. Under this given circumstances we the Teachers have suffered enough, we want to question the department and the education ministry as to how they keep on making contradictory and ironical remarks on quality education every now and then. By not releasing the salaries itself reflects the concern of the department and the ministry’s attitude towards providing better education.

It is imperative to note that most of the upgraded Govt.

High Schools in Nagaland are run by the RMSA appointed Teachers and under such situ-

Even when some of them were “detained” after the attack on India’s Parliament, they were practically free to preach and spread poison. India suspects that those arrested after the Mumbai carnage would have the front door of their house shut while the back door was open.

No world power, except Germany, has directly accused the Pakistan government for the attacks on Mumbai. Investigators believe that all attacks on India are linked to members of one terrorist group or the other in Pakistan. Whatever evidence that had India provided in the past Pakistan has failed to prod Islamabad.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing into the recent Uri incident, was set up with a fanfare in 2009 to assuage public anger over a similar series of failure leading up to 26/11. They were entrusted with cases but the result so far has been dismal.

What the NIA will do in the present case is to be seen. The nation is waiting for a retaliatory action.

ation any action taken up on the part of the teachers due to non-fulfillment of the salaries will hamper the smooth functioning of school and schools and classes in particular. It is to be made clear that we not begging, we are asserting and demanding our basis rights.

Therefore, it is our appeal to the department and the ministry concern to release all the pending salaries. Failing, which the teaching community compelled to abstain from attending duties from 1st October. Such a drastic act on the part of the teaching community will affects the career of the students but we are helpless too.

RMSA (2013) Tuensang Unit is compelled to release this press release as the depart-

ment of school education has failed to release salaries from April till date for the reason best known to them.

The Unit questions the department and the ministry concern as to how they keep on making contradictory and ironical remarks on delivery better education when they fail miserably in providing regular salaries. This itself reflects their seriousness and concern when it comes to education scenario of the state. Teachers are expected to be diligent, honest and sincere in discharging their duties. However, failure in removing bureaucratic hurdles in smooth dispensation of salaries reflects the sincerity and honestly of the authorities dealing with the current

issue.

Therefore, the Tuensang Unit of RMSA appointees (2013) appeal the authorities concern to discharge their duties diligently by releasing all the pending duties, for it is a ‘Just’, in demanding rights not begging. Id the department fails in releasing the due salaries, under duress the teaching community i.e RMSA (2013) Tuensang Unit will abstain from duties from 1st October 2016, for which the students career will be at stake and the department and the authorities concern will be held accountable. This is the last resort, for the teaching community in in helpless situation.

of Wokha district

R

s. 4.404 Crores has been sanctioned for Water Supply Central Assistance. For Nagaland state Rs. 40 crores has been sanctioned, therefore people of Wokha District too demand the sanctioned money allotted for Wokha town district headquarters water supply.

Due to Nagaland government’s lackadaisical approach, citizens of Wokha have been facing untold hardships for decades because of scarcity of water. Because of the good nature of the Wokha citizens to fight for their legitimate shares the government has ignored and neglected the Wokha town.

For 53 years Wokha town has no water supply and roads during the dry season are dusty and during rainy season it becomes fishery pond.

Former chief minister Neiphiu Rio has vividly pointed out that road is the face of the districts, and the state is judged by the visitors and tourists based on the road conditions. Government keeps ignoring that is why roads in Nagaland are worse than riverbed or nullahs.

Denizens of Wokha town remain silent spectators like animals. Animals do not complain about bad roads, water scarcity, proper hospital facilities, regular electricity, good telephone connections etc. Animals know only to eat and drink.

Government is like a big “Rock” never moving unless pushed strongly.

Likewise denizens of Wokha town never push government. In the past fire broke out, houses and buildings were gutted, but people were watching helplessly as there was not enough water supply to douse the fire. Naked hands can do nothing, so properties worth lakhs were destroyed.

Many GI pipes are lying around unused on the road side, instead of getting water supply through it, it results in accidents. Students go to school and colleges without having food because there is no water at home to cook food on time. Day and night people are rushing around with buckets looking for water.

Private vehicles carry supply water from house to house and charge exorbitant rates. People have no options but to buy water from them.

Nagaland government need to take up the issue of water scarcity in Wokha town at the earliest and make a ring well for 20 households at least, so that people will co-operate with the government. No government can be long secure without people support, government are like fish and public like water, without water fish cannot survive.

Job advertisement Sir,

I seriously don’t understand the logic of the department for advertising the vacancies and never conduct any exam or interviews.

Yes, I’m talking about the Job vacancies that was advertised recently in Tuensang District for the post of LDA cum computer assistant, Dobashi, peon in DC’s office. It was not only once but we had to submit our documents twice. We have waited enough, it’s been nearly a year and therefore we the aspiring candidates of LDA & Dobashis and peon earnestly request your esteem authority to kindly conduct the exam and interviews at the earliest.

And if at all the department is not in position to conduct the said exams and interviews because of whatsoever the reason may be please let it be known to the general public of Tuensang through media.

Though Siddaramaiah will participate in the meeting on Thursday in New Delhi along with Patil and other top officials, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa has deputed her Public Works Minister E.K. Palaniswamy for the meeting as she is still recovering from illness at a private Chennai hospital.

Declining to share details of the all-party meeting, state Parliamentary Affairs and Law Minister T.B. Jayachandra, however, admitted that they (opposition parties) had advised the Chief Minister not to release the water and convey the same to the central minister (Bharti).

“The state Cabinet, which will meet later in the day, will decide whether to release the water or not, although we have the highest respect for the top judiciary,” Jayachandra told reporters later.

Bansal accused CBI officials of pushing his family to suicide

BK Bansal, hanged himself with son on Tuesday.

CBI Spokesperson RK Gaur said the agency has received a communication from Delhi Police in which the suicide notes have been attached.

He said an inquiry has been ordered to look into the allegations and the court will be informed. In the note purportedly signed by Bansal, it is alleged that that his wife and daughter had shared the details of “torture” with friends and neighbours before taking the

extreme step.

He alleged that the CBI DIG also claimed that he was close to a politician of the ruling party and dared Bansal to do whatever he wanted.

Bansal alleged that the women officers slapped his wife even as the DIG abused her over phone and threatened to torture Bansal who was in CBI custody.

He said, “even if I was at fault in the case, why were my wife and daughter pushed to suicide by CBI officials.” “This cannot be termed as suicide. It is a murder of two ladies,” he said, adding that the DIG and the “fat” Havaldar should be subjected to lie detector test to know the truth.

Bansal also urged the Director CBI to probe the matter as the DIG had threatened him before the suicide of his wife and daughter that “they will be subjected to such a torture that they will ask for death but won’t get it”.

JAMMU/NEW DELHI, SEP 28 (PTI): The NIA today secured 10 days’ remand of two “guides” from Pakistanoccupied-Kashmir who allegedly facilitated infiltration by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists responsible for the brazen attack on an army camp in Uri earlier this month.

The two -- Faisal Hussain Awan and Ahsaan Khursheed—both residents of Muzaffarabad in PoK, were produced before a designated court in Jammu which remanded them in NIA’s custody.

The duo has since been brought to the national capital where they would be interrogated by a joint team of officials of various security agencies besides being subjected to scientific tests.

During their preliminary interrogation, the two were claimed to have admitted to having facilitated infiltration by a group of four JeM militants who carried out the Uri army camp attack. On being shown the photographs of the four ter-

The apex court directed that second or third counselling for the MBBS/BDS courses would be conducted as a joint exercise by a committee comprising officials from Maharashtra government and representatives of the deemed universities. “Insofaras second or third counselling is concerned, that shall be a joint exercise which means that it shall be done by the Committee of the State Government which shall include one representative each from these universities. The respondent

universities shall nominate their respective representatives forthwith,” a bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and L Nageswara Rao said.

The court clarified that it will be a centralised for all the deemed universities counselling and not university-wise counselling and the students will be enrolled by taking into account the combined list of those who got themselves registered with the State Government as well as universities.

“This shall ensure admission of those who are more meritorious but left out, but are interested in taking admission in the respondent universities,” the bench said. The apex court, however, clarified that the admissions which have already been made to various colleges

NEW DELHI, SEP 28 (PTI): A tainted top government official, who committed suicide along with his son yesterday, blamed CBI officials probing the corruption case against him for the decision to end their lives.

In the wake of the allegations against its officials, CBI today constituted an internal inquiry to look into them.

In suicide notes purportedly written by former Corporate Affairs Director General B K Bansal and his son Yogesh, the official has alleged that a CBI DIG, two women officers and a “fat” Havaldar of the agency had tortured his wife and daughter after which both had committed suicide in July.

PTI today received two suicide notes, a seven-page note purportedly written by Bansal and a two-page note purportedly written by Yogesh dated September 26, 2016, a day before their bodies were discovered in their flat here.

“We have placed our suggestion before the government to honour the resolution passed in the special legislature session,” reiterated Shettar.

Observing that flow of water had increased after recent rains in the downstream areas of the river basin, Datta said there was no need to release more water from the four reservoirs as the groundwater resources and gravity would ensure that the ordered quantum (6,000 cusecs) flows into Tamil Nadu at Biligundulu, the inter-state measuring centre.

“Legal battle is over. We have to take a political decision on the basis of the will of the people, expressed through the unanimous resolution,” Datta said.

K’taka parties against release of water

BENGALURU, SEP 28 (IANS): Attending an allparty meeting called by the Karnataka government on the Cauvery issue, state opposition parties on Wednesday struck a rigid stance and asked the Siddaramaiah government not to release more river water to Tamil Nadu. “We have told the state government not to release any more Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu for irrigation, as it is required to meet the drinking needs of our people in the river basin region,” opposition leader and former BJP Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar told reporters after a marathon all-party meeting here on the issue.

The apex court on Tuesday directed Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs daily for three days from Wednesday till Friday despite Karnataka legislature’s unanimous resolution adopted on September 23 to use the depleted water in the four dams for drinking purpose only.

NE W D ELHI , S e p 2 8 (Agencies): India has risen rapidly among all countries in the global competitive stakes by climbing 16 notches to the 39th position during the past year in the WEF’s Global Competitiveness Index. According to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) latest Global Competitiveness Report for 2016-17 this marks the biggest scale of improvement in competitiveness among all countries and is the second year in a row India has gone up 16 ranks in the WEF index, reported The Hindu.

It suggests that improvements in institutions and infrastructure have increased overall competitiveness along with recent reforms such as opening the economy to foreign investors and increasing transparency in the financial system. India’s competitiveness has improved, particularly in goods market efficiency, business sophistication and innovation, while lower oil prices and improved monetary and fiscal policies have made the economy not only stable, but also the fastest growing among G20 countries, the report noted. “Still, a lot needs to be done... huge challenges lie ahead on India’s path to prosperity,” the report added, stressing that despite significant improvements in infrastructure and social indicators such as health and education over the past decade, it lags other nations on such parameters.

Other wealthiest cities include, Hyderabad (total wealth of USD 310 billion, has 8,200 millionaires, 7 billionaires); Kolkata (USD 290 billion, has 8,600 millionaires and 10 billionaires); Pune (USD 180 billion, has 3,900 millionaires and 5 billionaires); Chennai (USD 150 billion and has 6,200 millionaires and 4 billionaires) and Gurgaon (USD 110 billion cludes all their assets (property, and home to 3,600 millionaires cash, equity, business interests) and 2 billionaires). less any liabilities. The report excludes government funds from its figures. As per the report, the total wealth held in the country amounts to USD 5.6 trillion (as of June 2016).

The country is home to 264,000 millionaires and 95 billionaires in total.

Other emerging cities in the country include, Surat, Ahmadabad, Visakhapatnam, Goa, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Vadodara, the report said.

In the meeting between Kim and the Board, Kim stated that his highest priority going forward is institutional stability and deeper staff engagement as he paid tribute to the high caliber of the bank’s dedicated and professional staff.

“Humbled to have the honour of serving a second term as the head of this great institution. I would focus on building a more inclusive world free of poverty,” Kim said in a statement.

He said the starting point for his work when he joined the Bank in 2012 was the setting of two ambitious new goals for the institution: to end extreme poverty by 2030, and to promote shared prosperity by boosting the income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population in every developing country. “In order to deliver these goals, the Bank had to accelerate, become bolder and more agile, and reposition itself.

We did this so that we could increase support for countries and deliver better results more quickly. “I believe we are well on the way to achieve these important aims,” he said.

“The challenges going forward remain large, with climate change, forced displacement and pandemics threatening the gains we have made to improve the lives of billions.

“We will need to work even more closely with partners and continue to find new and innovative ways to leverage scarce development resources effectively,” Kim said.

Earlier in a statement, the Executive Directors of the World Bank noted that in the first year of Kim’s leadership, which began in July 2012, shareholders endorsed two ambitious new goals for the institution: to end extreme poverty by 2030, and to promote

New Delhi, Sep 28 (PTI): Gold slipped by Rs 150 to Rs 31,300 per 10 grams at the bullion market today on the back of waning demand from jewellers at domestic spot market amid a weak global trend. Silver also tumbled by Rs 900 to Rs 45,150 per kg due to poor offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said sentiment remained bearish owing to a weakening global trend where gold lost the most in more than a month as a surge in the US consumer confidence and gains in the dollar diminished demand for the metal as a store of value.

Globally, gold prices dropped 1 per cent to close at USD 1,330.40 an ounce in New York yesterday.

“The pilots and cabin crew carried out the emergency procedures before landing which they practice regularly during their routine training details,” a spokesperson said.

New York, Sep 28 (PTI): A record 84 million viewers in the US watched the fiery faceoff between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during their first presidential debate, breaking a previous record set 36 years ago.

The presidential debate between Democratic nominee Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump yesterday was watched by 84 million people on US TV networks.

The previous record for a presidential debate viewership was 80.6 million between incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter and his Republican rival Ronald Reagan in 1980.

The viewing figures only count those who watched

the debate on the 13 US TV channels that carried it live, meaning the true figure may be much higher, media reports said. Millions are also thought to have watched worldwide through online live streams or in bars and at parties.

The data provider Nielsen said that viewers stayed tuned through the 98-minute debate held at Hofstra University in Hempstead.

Trump told supporters on Tuesday that he knew the debate would have “one of the largest audiences in the history of television” but he “took a deep breath” and “pretended I was talking to my family”.

SAARC Summit postponed after India’s boycott Kathmandu, Sep 28 (PTI): The next SAARC Summit, which was scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan in November, has been postponed after India pulled out of the event “in the prevailing circumstances”, Nepalese media reported today.

India has already communicated its decision to Nepal. The summit is automatically postponed or cancelled even if one member country skips the event.

However, Nepal’s Foreign Ministry said it could not confirm reports that the country has called off the SAARC Summit. Tensions between India and Pakistan are growing after militants stormed an Indian Army base in Uri on September 18, killing 18 soldiers.

The Pope referred to Aleppo as a “battered city where children, the elderly, the sick, the young, the old are dying... so many people.”

He also repeated his call for “everyone to commit themselves with all their power to the protection of civilians,” adding that this was “an imperative and urgent obligation.”

The recent airstrikes have been some of the fiercest since the start of the five-year conflict in Syria.

Istanbul, Sep 28 (AFP): Turkey said today that courts have placed 32,000 suspects under arrest on charges of links to a group run by the USbased preacher blamed for the July coup bid, as the country braces for the most extensive trials in its history.

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told NTV television that 70,000 people had been investigated after the attempted putsch on July 15 and of them 32,000 remanded in custody. “This process is continuing,” he said. The numbers of those arrested marks an increase of more than 10,000 from those previously given by the government.

Bozdag said that there could be new arrests, while some of those currently arrested could still be freed under judicial control or freed entirely. Some two-and-a-half months after the coup attempt aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan led to a crackdown unprecedented in Turkey’s modern history, there is still no indication as to when trials might start.

The trials of tens of thousands of people will be the biggest legal process in Turkey’s history and are set to put the system under unprecedented pressure.

Nieuwegein, Sep 28 (Agencies): Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine by a Buk missile brought across the border from Russia and fired from a village under the control of pro-Russian rebels, an international criminal investigation has said.

In a press conference on Wednesday in Nieuwegein, in the Netherlands, the Dutchled Joint Investigation Team (JIT) said there was conclusive evidence that a Buk 9M38 missile hit the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, killing all 298 people on board.

potential criminal trial. The findings are the first released by the group, comprised of prosecutors from the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and Ukraine, in its criminal investigation into the downing of Flight MH17.

The Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur flight was shot down over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, killing all 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch citizens.

Last year, a civilian investigation conducted by the Dutch Safety Board concluded that the Boeing aircraft was shot down by a Russian-made Buk missile. But the investigation was not required to assign blame for the missile strike, and did not say who was responsible.

The widely accepted theory is that the aircraft was shot down from within territory held by Russian-backed separatists, who were engaged in heavy fighting with Ukrainian forces at the time.

On Monday, Russia’s defense ministry released radar data which it claimed refuted that theory, saying it showed that if the plane was shot down, it was done so by Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian officials have not responded to the allegation.

akistan’s film industry fears it may suffer a 70 per cent business loss if Indo-Pak ties worsen and Bollywood films are banned in the country. The fear among the industry people has been growing as they feel if the situation does not improve there would be calls to ban Indian films eventually.

“I don’t want to sound pessimistic but the truth is there has only been a boom in the cinema industry in Pakistan in the last few years because of the release of latest Bollywood and Hollywood films,” said Nadeem Mandviwalla, a know exhibitor, distributor and owner of the Atrium chain of

cineplexes. “I just hope the ties don’t remain tense on long-term basis. Even if there is a temporary ban we can survive but if there is any permanent ban you can expect lot of cinema houses and multiplexes to close down,” he said.

Omair Alavi, a popular film critic, said that due to the increase in cinema screens and revenues there had also been a resurgence of the Pakistani film industry.

“We have seen number of Pakistani films release and do well and others are also lined up for release. But for a cinema industry to survive you need to produce at least 50 to 60 films in a year which we are not doing

at present.”

Mandviwalla said 70 per cent of the business comes from Bollywood and Hollywood.

“There is no alternative.

If the ties worsen, it is going to affect everyone,” he said.

He, however, said that previously when Indian films were banned in Pakistan, business flourished underground with the sale of pirated DVDs and other such materials.

“Now you have cable operators as well but I think if there is any ban it will also affect their programming,” he said.

Saleem Khan, who has been in the business for years, thinks there would not be a ban but if this happenes cinema owners might have to completely wrap up their business or shut a few screens to cut costs. “We don’t produce enough films to sustain ourselves throughout the year. We need to produce at least over 50 films annually,” Khan said.

Former Sindh Board of Film Censors chairman Fakhre-Alam said any such ban would result in “going back to the days where our screens were shut down and converted into shopping malls or apartments because there weren’t enough movies.”

Anand beats Mamedyarov in Taj Chess

Vishwanathan Anand

MOSCOW, SEP 28 (PTI): Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand crashed through the defences of Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan to jump to joint lead after the end of the second round of 10th Tal Memorial Chess tournament.

Showcasing some brilliant resourceful play, Anand had to tackle what appeared to be a dangerous attack on his

king and made excellent use of his first white pieces in the tournament.

Anish Giri of Holland and Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia joined Anand in lead.

Giri got the better of Boris Gelfand of Israel in anther stellar performance of the day while Nepomniachtchi played out a draw with fellow countryman Peter Svidler.

The other two games

of the day were also drawn -- Russian Vladimir Kramnik failed to break the ice against Chinese Li Chao while after a disastrous first round, Russian Evgeny Tomashevsky was just happy to open his account against Levon Aronian of Armenia.

With seven rounds to go in the USD 200000 prize money tournament, Nepomniachtchi, Giri and Anand have 1.5 points apiece and they are followed by Kramnik, Li Chao, Aronian and Svidler on one point apiece.

Tomashevsly, Gelfand and Mamedyarov share the eighth spot with half a point each in their kitty.

The day belonged to Anand. Mamedyarov followed an earlier game played by Peter Svidler to test Anand but the Indian was the first to deviate on move 15. The position remained complicated for a long time and Mamedyarov went for a piece sacrifice after opening the queen side a bit.

This did not produce the best result as after the tactical melee ended, Anand had an

Sam Allardyce forced to leave England job after sting operation L o n do n , S E P 2 8 (Agencies): Sam Allardyce’s reign as England manager came to a humiliating end on Tuesday as he departed after just 67 days in charge following his controversial comments in a newspaper sting.

Allardyce’s reign was sensationally brought to a close as he paid the price for indiscreetly talking with undercover Daily Telegraph reporters posing as Far East businessmen.

The 61-year-old was secretly filmed giving advice on how to circumnavigate transfer rules, criticised the FA’s decision to rebuild Wembley and mocked his England predecessor Roy Hodgson.

Allardyce, appointed England manager in July on a £3 million ($3.9 mn, 3.5 mn euros)-a-year contract, also agreed to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as an ambassador for their fictitious firm for a fee of £400,000.

G a r e t h S o u t h g a t e, England’s Under-21 coach, will take charge of the senior team for the next four matches, starting with a World Cup qualifier against Malta on October 8.

“The FA can confirm that Sam Allardyce has left his position as England manager,” an FA statement read.

“However, due to the serious nature of his actions, The FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect.

“The manager of the England men’s senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times.” Allardyce’s incendiary comments were published late on Monday and by early Tuesday morning, the former Sunderland and West Ham boss was driving down to London in an unsuccessful bid to save his job.

FA chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn had showdown talks with Allardyce at Wembley and, unable to talk his way out of trouble, his fate was sealed just hours later.

extra piece for three pawns and his knight caused most of the damage to produce a studylike finish. The game lasted 52 moves.

Giri played the King’s Indian defense as black and caught Gelfand off guard in the opening. The Israeli used up a lot time in the initial stages and had to pay the price when complexities arose.

Giri first sacrificed a pawn and followed it up with another exchange to draw curtains on a well-played game.

In the next round, Anand is set to meet Li Chao, who has played some solid chess so far.

In the game against Kramnik, the Chinese had to defend for a long time but he gave nothing away.

Results round 1: Anish Giri (Ned) drew with V Anand (Ind); Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Aze) drew with Li Chao (Chn); Levon Aronian (Arm) drew with Boris Gelfand (Isr); Peter Svidler (Rus) drew with Vladimir Kramnik (Rus); Ian Nepomniachtchi (Rus) beat Evgeny Tomashevsky (Rus).

Sania - Strycova enter 3rd round in Wuhan Open New D el h i , S ep 2 8 (IANS): Sania Mirza-Barbora Strycova defeated Gabriela Dabrowski and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez over three hard fought sets to enter the third round of the Wuhan Open tennis tournament on Tuesday.

The Indo-Czech combination defeated their Canadian-Spanish opponents 3-6, 6-3, 10-5 in the second round encounter. Sania paired up with Strycova after splitting from earlier women’s doubles partner Martina Hingis of Switzerland.

The duo have produced a series of good performances since then. Their first tournament together was the Cincinnati Open where they defeated Hingis and CoCo Vandeweghe in the final. They have lost just one match since then, in the US Open where they crashed out of the quarter-finals. They won their second title last week when they won the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.

BFI announces dates for national championship New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS): Newly-elected President of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) Ajay Singh on Wednesday announced that the womens and men’s national championships will be held in Uttarakhand and Guwahati in November and December, respectively.

With the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games coming up in less than two years, these national championships will help identify boxers who can be selected for training and conditioning camps being held in preparation for these Games.

“We are delighted that with the conduct of smooth and transparent elections and the constitution of the Boxing Federation of India, Indian boxing is moving forward,” Ajay Singh said.

“These nationals are the first step in our journey towards ensuring that India becomes a boxing super power in the next few years.”

A strong performance in the Kolkata Test, starting Friday, will potentially see Ashwin top the bowling charts for the second time in 2016 after first claiming the number-one position last year following the Boxing Day Tests. Ashwin also contributed with a useful innings of 40 to consolidate his position at the top of the list of all-rounders. Ashwin has reached a career-best rating of 450, opening up a 66-point gap with second-placed Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has similarly edged England’s Joe Root by one point with innings of 75 and 25 in Kolkata to reach

879 points in the Rankings for Test Batsmen, which is led by Australia captain Steve Smith with 906 points.

However, to move ahead or edge even closer to Smith, Williamson will have to produce strong performances in the remaining two Tests.

There was not much to cheer for other New Zealand batsmen apart from Williamson, but for India, opener Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara made significant gains.

Vijay and Pujara, who became the first Indian pair in 10 years to notch century partnerships in both innings of a Test match, moved up from joint-20th position to joint-

16th position. Other Indian batsmen to move up were Lokesh Rahul, who gained five ranks to reach 57th position, and Rohit Sharma, who gained two slots to reach 52nd rank.

Victory in its 500th Test means India is now one victory away from reclaiming the ICC Test Championship mace from Pakistan. India had entered the series trailing Pakistan by one point and needed to win the series to move ahead of its traditional rival.

M e a n w h i l e, I n d i a ’s Ravindra Jadeja, who took six wickets in the Kanpur match and also contributed with the bat in the lower order, gained a place of to be seventh.

PR Sreejesh

“India-Pakistan match

brings a lot of excitement to the table. We want to give hundred per cent. We don’t want to disappoint our soldiers by losing, especially when they sacrifice their lives in the exchange of fire at the borders,” Sreejesh said.

India face Pakistan on October 23 in their round-robin match in the tournament to be played among the top six teams in the continent.

Sreejesh also said that Pakistan was currently playing low-grade hockey though they have a special quality of springing a surprise on any given day.

“They are now playing totally a lower-grade hockey.

That is what I feel. But they (Pakistan) have a strong mental attitude. They can beat any team anytime. That is their specialty,” Sreejesh said at the Sports Authority of India

center where the team has been training. Fresh and rejuvenated after a brief break following their eighth-place finish in the Rio Olympics, core probables of Indian senior men’s hockey team had retur ned to the national camp, which started here on September 18.

The four-week camp has set the momentum for the fourth men’s Asian Champions Trophy in Malaysia where India go in as favourites.

The camp features 26 core probable, including former captain Sardar Singh and the likes of Akashdeep Singh and Chinglensana Singh.

“We are better placed than Pakistan as we have been playing against top teams around the world. Pakistan on the other hand failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time in their history,” Sreejesh said.

Lodha panel seeks removal of BCCI president, secretary

Anurag Thakur

Ajay Shirke

NEW Delhi, Sep 28 (AGENCIES): The fight between the Lodha panel and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), got intensified on Wednesday as the Supreme Court (SC) appointed committee submitted its status report to the court.

Accusing the BCCI of delaying the proposed reforms and violating the apex court’s directives, the panel seek removal of BCCI’s top management including its president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke.

According to Business Standard, the bench headed by the chief justice T S Thakur has agreed to hear the matter on October 6.

Slamming the cricket body the SC bench on Wednesday said, “If BCCI thinks they are law unto themselves, they are wrong”. “When the high powered committee gives its report, we don’t expect this sort of conduct from BCCI. Fall in line otherwise we will make you fall in line”, they

told the BCCI counsel. “BCCI is bringing the system to disrepute by not following the directions”.

BCCI counsel Arvind Datar told the court that the cricket board has complied with most of the directions and will gradually comply with the rest.

The SC has given BCCI time till next hearing to submit its response on the matter.

In its status report, the three member panel headed by former chief justice of India Justice R M Lodha has highlighted BCCI’s reluctance to implement the recommendations.

Earlier, the Lodha panel asked it to implement 15 key recommendations by October 15 and submit a compliance report by August 25. The report comes days after the BCCI held its annual general meeting on September 21 where it reelected Ajay Shirke as its secretary and appointed a new five member selection committee. According

to Lodha panel, all of these moves are in violation of its recommendations.

The panel’s report has also accused the BCCI of stalling reforms at every step.

It complained that the Board had ignored court orders and the panel’s recommendations on number of selectors, manner of conducting meetings and preparing a roadmap for time-bound reforms.

Justice Thakur was part of the bench that appointed the Lodha panel on the backdrop of spot fixing and betting scandal in 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League. Since, the apex court instructed the board to follow the committee’s recommendations for bringing transparency into its operations and financ ial dealings, BCCI had been opposing the move.

Recommendations such as ‘one state, one vote’ and barring ministers, civil servants and members from holding positions once they attain the age of 70 years are key points of conflict between the two parties. The court had also accepted the panel’s recommendation of having a Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) nominee at BCCI. The panel has so far served two deadlines for BCCI —September 30 to impart constitutional amendments and December 15 to form a nine member apex committee that will replace the present system of working committee.

Dortmund frustrate Real as Leicester win in UEFA CL New logo for AIFF launched

(L) Cristiano Ronaldo fights for the ball against Dortmund’s Julian Weigl. (AP/PTI) (R) Defender Robert Huth (centre) wasted Leicester’s first opportunity to open the scoring by glancing wide.

Paris, SEP 28 (Agencies): Andre Schuerrle smashed in a late equaliser as Borussia Dortmund held Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, while Leicester City claimed another famous European victory.

Premier League champions Leicester made it two wins from two in their debut Champions League campaign as Islam Slimani’s first-half goal secured a 1-0 win against FC Porto, and it was a good night all round for English clubs as Tottenham Hotspur beat

CSKA Moscow in Russia.

Reigning champions Real twice surrendered the lead as they settled for a 2-2 draw against Dortmund to extend their poor record on German soil.

In a tremendous Group F game played at breathless pace, Zinedine Zidane’s side went in front in the 17th minute when Gareth Bale’s back-heel came off Matthias Ginter and fell for Cristiano Ronaldo to fire home. It was the Portuguese superstar’s 98th European goal but Dort-

mund had been in fearsome form ahead of this showdown and they drew level just before the interval.

Making his first appearance of the season after injury, Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas opted to punch a Raphael Guerreiro free-kick and the ball struck the face of his teammate Raphael Varane before rebounding into the net.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was standing in close quarters, and he was officially credited with the goal

by UEFA.

However, French centreback Varane made up for that by restoring Real’s advantage midway through the second half, following in to score after Karim Benzema’s attempt had hit both the post and bar.

But there was to be no first win in Dortmund for Real as substitute Schuerrle rifled a shot into the roof of the net after a Christian Pulisic cross fell to him on the edge of the box.

Madrid have won just four times in 30 away games against German clubs but this result still leaves them in control of Group F.

In the other game in the section, first-half goals by Bryan Ruiz and Bas Dost gave Sporting a 2-0 victory against Legia Warsaw in Portugal.

Leicester have maximum points after two matches in Group G after edging out two-time European champions Porto at the King Power Stadium. Algerian striker Slimani, a club record £28 million ($36.3 million, 32.3 million euros) summer signing from Sporting, struck on 25 minutes, heading past Iker Casillas from a Riyad Mahrez cross. Next up for Leicester will be FC Copenhagen, who were impressive 4-0 winners at home to Club Brugge in the Danish capital.

All the goals came in the second half, with a Stefano Denswil own-goal setting the home side on their way before Ludwig Augustinsson had a penalty saved, but further counters came from captain Thomas Delaney, Federico Santander and Mathias Jorgensen. Tottenham bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to Monaco in their Group E opener by beating CSKA 1-0 in Moscow to claim three points from an awkward trip to the Russian capital.

Sports Minister Vijay Goel with FIFA officials at the launch of official emblem of FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 in Panaji on Tuesday. (PTI) Panjim, Sep 28 (IANS): A new logo of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was unveiled by World football’s governing body FIFA President Gianni Infantino here on Wednesday.

The logo was unveiled in the presence of Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Shaikh Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa, Sports Minister Vijay Goel and AIFF President Praful Patel at a glittering function. The new logo represents the Tricolour in the

form of a rising flame along with a football denoting vibrancy and upward movement of the sport in the country.

The shield on one side of the logo solidifies the entire structure and represents AIFF’s inclusiveness, responsibility and authority towards the game in India. Patel said in a release the need for AIFF was to “look contemporary to reflect the changes and reforms that Federation has been undertaking over the past few years.”

“The AIFF was formed

in 1937 and we are 79 years old. I thought when you get older you got to get younger and look contemporary.

Hence, we needed a new younger look,” he added.

Infantino said the name AIFF gives the “feeling of the magnitude of the country”.

“India is no less than a continent where football is developing and where it will become the number one sport.

It is already the number one sport for the younger ones,” he said.

Serena Williams vows no ‘silence’ on police violence London, Sep 28 (Agencies): Serena Williams has voiced her fears about police violence, writing on Facebook: “I won’t be silent.”

The US tennis star posted that she found herself feeling wary of law enforcement during a recent journey with her teenage nephew. Williams said that when they drove by a patrol car she remembered a woman whose boyfriend was fatally shot by police.

She is the latest athlete to speak out about friction between law enforcement and the black community in the US. In Tuesday’s Facebook post, Williams, 35, wrote that she had asked her 18-year-old nephew to drive her somewhere so she could work during the journey.

She said that when she saw a police car she “remembered that horrible video of the woman in the car when a cop shot her boyfriend”. “All of this went through my mind in a matter of seconds,” she added.

Williams was apparently referring to the 6 July fatal shooting of Philando Castile, whose girlfriend live-streamed the confrontation with police in St Paul, Minnesota.

The Grand Slam champ said she checked her nephew was not speeding so they would not get pulled over, and then regretted not having driven herself.

“I would never forgive myself if something happened to my

Serena Williams

nephew,” Williams wrote. “He’s so innocent. So were all ‘the others.’”

“I am a total believer that not ‘everyone’ is bad. It is just the ones that are ignorant, afraid, uneducated, and insensitive that is affecting millions and millions of lives.”

Williams quoted Martin Luther King Jr, writing: “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”

She added: “I Won’t Be Silent”.

Williams spoke out amid a wave of anti-police brutality sporting protests in the US, triggered after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem.

Some 214 black people have been killed by US police this year out of a total of 821 people, according to Black Lives Matter monitoring group, Mapping Police Violence.
