‘Imbroglio’ between NDPP, NPF pains JD (U) state unit Suggests calling for an all-party meet on Naga peace process DIMAPUR, SEP 2 (NPN): Janata Dal (U) Nagaland state unit has expressed pain over the “imbroglio” between the ruling NDPP and NPF at a time when the “Indo-Naga” political issue has “entered into a very crucial stage.” JD(U) Nagaland through its publicity wing said that for the greatest cause of the Nagas, nothing should come in a way that was to be seen as a stumbling block. It stated that if all the political parties contesting election in Nagaland could prioritise the solution to the protracted “IndoNaga” political problem as a pre-poll promise, then there should be no room for misunderstanding towards pursuing for the same goal. Being the two major political parties of Na-
galand, JD(U) state unit said the confrontation on the issue “creates further confusion in the minds of the people and makes the hopes of common men murkier.” JDU has urged and suggested the ruling dispensation to call for an allparty meet on the ongoing Naga peace process. It also suggested organising joint delegation to Delhi to meet the top leaders of both the ruling government and opposition leaders and further stage a dharna “to make our united voice heard.” JDU has appealed to all the political parties especially, the three major parties, i.e., NDPP, NPF and the BJP “to walk the talk not only within the state of Nagaland but outside also.” “At least for an issue such as the Naga political problem, let us be all united on equal ground and show our commitment enshrined in the manifestos of each political parties,” JDU stated.

A council, headed by the prime minister and having chief ministers as mem-

NEW DELHI, SEP 2 (PTI): Amid a raging row over Facebook's alleged political "bias", India head of the social media platform Ajit Mohan was on Wednesday questioned for nearly two hours by a parliamentary panel, which is discussing alleged misuse of social media platforms. While details of what transpired during the closeddoor hearing were not immediately known, senior Congress leader and panel chief Shashi Tharoor tweeted "in response to overwhelming media interest in the meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology....this is all I can say: We met for some three and a half hours and unanimously agreed to resume the discussion later, including with representatives of Facebook." Sources said as discussions could not be concluded with the Facebook representatives, there was a view to call the meeting again on September 10, but consensus could not be achieved with some members objecting to it on the grounds that the committee is to be reconstituted. The panel had called representatives of Facebook to hear their views "on the

Department of Personnel and Training secretary C Chandramouli said Mission Karmayogi is constituted to build future-ready
civil servants with right attitude, skills and knowledge, aligned to the vision of a “New India”. It focuses on competency-led capacity building, he said, adding that it seeks to create a new architecture for civil services capacity building. He said it looks at a new national architecture for civil services capacity building and focuses not only on individual capacity building but on institutional capacity building and also on process.
