Tribal hohos decline to attend December 4 consultative meeting D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Apex tribal bodies of Nagaland have resolved not to attend the December 4 consultative meeting on Naga political issue until and unless the November 24, 2016 Nagaland Legislative Assembly’s Resolution pertaining to the ULB elections is revoked.

In a joint statement issued for and on behalf of all tribal hohos of Nagaland, Angami Public Organisation president, Dr. Vilhusa Seleyi and Chakhesang Public Organisation president, Kekhwengulo Lea informed that the decision was taken by the tribal hohos during the meeting held on October 31, 2017 at the Angami Public Organisation (APO) Hall, Kohima.

The signatories have therefore expressed regret that none of the tribal hohos will be attending the consultative meeting. It may be mentioned that the NLA speaker had convened the Nagaland Legislators’ Forum Consultative Meeting with the ex-parliamentarians and civil societies on Naga political issue at the RCEMPA, Jotsoma on December 4 at 11 a.m.

Load shedding to be eased in Dimapur D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): In a relief to the citizens of Dimapur, the Power department has informed that the 10 MVA transformer was successfully installed at Nagarjan power house and would ease the load shedding schedule in Dimapur, to a limited extent.

Informing of this in a press note, Executive Engineer (electrical transmission division), Er. Wabangmeren Jamir said with this addition, the total capacity of the power station was increased to 30 MVA, which was still only 50% of the required 60 MVA. Jamir also said that while earnest efforts are underway to add to the current capacity, it would still fall short of the 60 MVA that was available prior to the two 20 MVA transformers having to be put out of service recently.

He also said that the department anticipated the capacity addition to be completed before Christmas and should normalize power supply through the colder months. Jamir also expressed appreciation for the restraint and co-operation of the consumers and added “request is again made to bear with the inconvenience during this unfortunate turn of events and also utilize electric power judiciously.”

This is it!

“It’s called wholesale business. We supply spurious IMFL; conduct raids, impose fines and allow to do business.”

NH,NMA demand withdrawal of NIA

D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Naga Hoho (NH) has come out in support of the Confederation of All Nagaland State Services Employees’ Association (CANSSEA) demand for removal of the National Investigating Agency (NIA) probe against state government officials while Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) in a representation to the President of India, RN Kovind urged the latter “to withdraw the NIA during the peace talks, if the Government of India was serious in finding a final solution to the Naga issue.”

In press communiqué, Naga Hoho general secretary Mutsikhoyo Yhobu and assembly secretary, K. Elu Ndang said it was an undeniable fact that various agreements/MoUs and accords had failed miserably, since the British colonial times, to suppress the self determination rights of the Nagas.

NH stated that the post Indian independence administration had attempted to subjugate the Nagas and their territories under the guise of a law and order problem, but later realized the need to deal with the issues politically and peacefully towards a permanent solution.

In this regard, NH said no sensible person could expect to have conducive atmosphere in Naga areas since the people’s resistance movement had been “guerrilla warfare” in nature.

“As such any struggling nation or people cannot survive without depending on the people’s contribution and cooperation. The need of the hour is to focus seriously towards early political settlement,” NH stated.

It called attention to the activities of the NIA in Nagaland, investigating almost all government departments and arresting officials for providing financial aid to different Naga political groups/national workers.

While stating that these actions may be to fulfil constitutional provision and the laws, NH urged the Indian agencies to look at the problems from a social and political perspective.

NH strongly felt that be it government employees or businessman, they were providing assistance “willingly or unwillingly but under compulsion.” Therefore, NH said the arrested officials should not be treated as law breakers. It appealed to the NIA to ponder these things and “avoid misdemeanours

while dealing with such issues”. NH further called the conduct of the NIA, with the accused officials, as uncalled for and beyond tolerance. It recalled that the arrests of innocent Nagas by the armed forces, under various sections of infamous laws, where many were tortured mercilessly and executed in the past, were unacceptable. NH fervently urged the authorities to stop the investigations and drop the cases against the officials as demanded by CANNSEA and further, to “look beyond the horizon by realizing the plight and rights of the people.”

NMA appeals: In a memorandum to the President of India, Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) urged the latter to withdraw the NIA if the Centre was serious in finding a final solution to the Naga issue.

The memorandum signed by NMA president, Abieu Meru, joint secretary Sawmi Leyri, advisor Sano Vamuzo and Dr. Rosemary Dzüvichü, NMA placed on record of its serious concern over the arrest made by NIA on state government officials who it said were victims of duress for collections of taxes by NPGs over the (Cont’d on p-5) years.

Nagaland drops to 7th from UNTABA reacts to eviction drives along border FGN kedahge writes to Kovind 2nd in tobacco prevalence DIMAPUR, NOV 30 (NPN): Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2016 (GATS) for north-eastern states, showed that there is a 14% drop in the overall use of tobacco among citizens 15 years and above in Nagaland, during the last 5 years. This was revealed in the results of GATS-2, which was declared in a function at Guwahati on November 24.

A press release signed

by NTCP, district nodal officer, Dr. C. Tetseo, said that the prevalence of tobacco use was 57% in 2010 and it has come down to 43% in 2016 and Nagaland’s tobacco prevalence ranking dropped from the 2nd position to 7th. Dr. Tetseo said that this was a significant drop because the situation in Nagaland was different from states like Mizoram and Sikkim where the will to control

tobacco was strong.

“The success is attributed to the awareness created by the health department and the role played by the media”, Dr. Tetseo said.

But above all, he credited the intuitions, who played an important role by integrating anti-tobacco measures into their institutional systems and “are sustaining it on their own”.

He lamented that although the prevalence has dropped, 43% is still very high, way ahead of the national average of 29%.

“There are some real concerns and we need to sustain the campaign in order to bring it down to an acceptable level”, he said. Dr. Tetseo stated that the need of the hour was political will and a proactive role by the churches which would help reducing social acceptance of tobacco in our society.

D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Reacting to the eviction drives that were carried out by Assam government along the Nagaland-Assam border, United Naga Tribes Association on Border Areas (UNTABA) said the eviction drive particularly in the Daldali Reserve Forest in the Lahorijan sector was “too little and too late.”

UNTABA chairman Hukavi T. Yeputhomi and general secretary Imsumongba Pongen alleged that the initiative was “driven by ulterior motives based on the inter-personal rivalries between the powers that be from Assam.” UNTABA said it was nothing but “a mere eye-wash on the bigger lapses on the part of Assam government over its illegal occupation and random exploitations of thousands of square miles on the rich and fertile Reserve Forests areas of the Naga people inside Assam.”

“If the Assam government is really intent, sincere and committed on its eviction drive in these Reserve forests areas, then it must undertake eviction drive in all these Reserve Forests areas without any hesitation covering all the areas without being selective as per the Provisions contained in the Reserve Forests Acts on the following Reserve Forests making the cut-off mark from 1860 onwards when the then Assam Tea Company was first established and tea gardens and industries were established in the Naga lands,” UNTABA stated.

UNTABA said the names of the Reserve Forest (RF) were-- Langting Mupa Reserve Forest, Krungming RF, Nambor RF, Upper Daigurung RF, Lower Daigurung RF, Kaliani RF, Mikir RF, Diphu RF, Rengma RF, Daldali RF, Dhansiri RF, Lumding RF, Desema, Kaki, Geleki, Tiru, Kakodanga,

Scholarship issue: ANCSU 10-day ultimatum on govt Correspondent

KOHIMA, NOV 30 (NPN): All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) on Thursday set a 10-day deadline for the State government to release second installment of scholarship, failing which the organization threatened of taking its own course of action, for which the government would be solely responsible.

ANCSU also submitted a letter to President Ram Nath Kovind, who is in the State Capital, through Chief Secretary and sought his immediate intervention to ensure justice to the students.

Addressing media persons later at its office, ANCSU president Katho P. Awomi expressed displeasure over the silence of chief minister, T.R. Zeliang and his cabinet colleagues and ignoring the interests of students. Awomi urged the CM to intervene and resolve the matter by releasing the remaining amount by December 10, failing which ANCSU would take its own course of action, he warned.

The student leader also asked the State government to streamline the Centre’s Post Matric Scholarship and set a target date for its release so that students also knew when to expect their scholarship amounts.

He said the Central ministry had sanctioned the first instalment of Rs 13,44,00,000 on December 28, 2016 against the required projected amount of Rs 50,69,21,139 for 44,048,084 students in the State.

The ANCSU president said he wrote a letter to Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs on August 23 stating that the students’ body would not accept partial payment even as the Department of Higher Education had also written to the ministry on June 8, August 1 and September 19 to sanction the second instalment.

He regretted that during the course of “appeal” by the department and State government to the Central ministry to release the remaining amount some unknown organization had alleged mismanagement in the Department of Higher Education, which made the Centre suspicious and reluctant to release the remaining amount and instead demanded utilization certificate (UC) from it.

Clarifying that ANCSU was not defending the Department of Higher Education, Awomi added that money was not with the department either. He said such allegations would only break the trust and Naga students would ultimately (Cont’d on p-8) suffer.

ENCSU to resume protest Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) Thursday walked out of the Higher & Technical Education, as directed by the chief minister.

A press release signed by ENCSU president, M.Longre Chang and general secretary, Wangnei C.Jessuhu, said that the department was not able to meet the demands of the ENCSU “and it has only come to light about the manipulation in the system.”

ENCSU said that they were not in a position to accept the presentation as it was a repetition of the same old “lame excuses that has been published time and”.

ENCSU expressed amazement at, what they termed as, the department only trying to clarify on the cabinet’s admission of misuse of scholarship funds and the setting up of the SIT. In this regard, ENCSU said it was compelled to resume its temporarily suspended protest and that the poster campaign will resume from December 1.

D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Maintaining that it was the only legitimate organisation representing Nagas, FGN Kedahge ‘gen.’ (Retd) Viyalie Metha has cautioned that the IndoNaga conflict will not be resolved unless government of India reached a definitive understanding with NNC and Federal Government of Nagaland based on mutual respect, saying India could not indefinitely evade taking the final step.

In an open letter to President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday, ‘gen.’ (Retd) Viyalie Metha also termed the former’s proposed visit to Nagaland in connection with the Statehood Day celebrations as “illogical” and “self exposure of another cheap trickery”.

CM greets on 54th Statehood Day

D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang has extended greetings to the citizens of Nagaland on the occasion of the 54th Statehood Day. In his message, Zeliang recalled that on December 1, 1963, the second president of India, Dr. S Radhakrishnan, formally declared Nagaland as the 16th state under the Indian Union at Kohima local Ground.

“Today, as we celebrate Nagaland Statehood, I appeal to the citizens of Nagaland to join hands to make Nagaland a great and prosperous State” it added.

He wished the citizens of Nagaland peace and prosperity and prayed that the state scale new heights.

“I also take this opportunity to welcome the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind to the ‘Land of Festivals’ and ‘Falcon Capital of the World’” it said.

compassionate and rational efforts of FGN had fallen on deaf ears of successive Indian leaders.

“Therefore, this open letter is written to inform you publicly that the manner in which the President of India visiting Nagaland in the present context is devoid of propriety and cordiality,” he mentioned.

Kedahge also narrated the historical events visà-vis the Indo-Naga conflict in the open letter to Kovind.

On declaration of Naga Independence, Metha wrote that “in view of the NNC leadership prevarication, a succession of the Naga delegation led by AZ Phizo visited Assam and India to apprise the leaders of emerging independent India the Naga stand and intention to declare Nagaland independence to the world.

NSF memo to President ‘for solution before polls’ D I M A P U R , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has called for resolution of the Naga political issue before the Assembly elections scheduled early next year.

In a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind, NSF president Kesosul Christopher Ltu and general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong said Nagas’ struggle for sovereign rights not only involved the political leaders but also affected the entire Naga community. They said students and youth of Naga society, who would eventually inherit the future, were perplexed with the current scenario, which had led them to doubt the sincerity of parties involved in the dialogue process.

NSF regretted that despite lapse of more than 20 years of negotiations and even after the signing of

Framework Agreement on August 3, 2015 they were yet to see light at the end of the tunnel. They said exasperation and desperation were setting in owing to hopes being raised on various occasions and by way of announcements by eminent leaders that a solution was around the next corner.

“Now, with the elections to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly due early next year, skepticism runs deep given a retrospective look when elections create havoc negating the spirit and concerted efforts of the people, more particularly by the political parties,” they added.

“Besides, it is envisaged that once the process is prolonged and the matter procrastinate to a certain time the present day Indian leadership may be bogged (Cont’d on p-5) K Y M C

Correspondent

KO H I M A , N OV 3 0 (NPN): Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) Neiphiu Rio while highlighting the importance of “friendship treaty” between Tuophema (Angami tribe) and Tesophenyu (Rengma tribe) said such a treaty should be spread across Nagaland.

Speaking at the during golden jubilee celebration of “friendship treaty” at Tuophezou Dahou (Tuophema village) under Kohima district on Thursday, Rio said the “friendship treaty” of Tuophema and Tesophenyu was as old as 147 years, even before Christianity and that such initiative brings blessings to both the villages.

He urged both the community to strengthen and uphold their “friendship treaty” with peace and unity and spread the same to other Naga tribes. Rio added that such practices should be passed down to

Officials should intimate GBs before land survey: DGBU

DIMAPUR: Dimapur GBs Union has urged Deputy Commissioner (DC) Dimapur to issue directive to officials that GBs of the area concerned are informed while conducting spot verifications and surveys of land.

In an open letter to Deputy Commissioner Dimapur on Thursday, Dimapur GBs Union president, M. V Ngullie and acting secretary, Rangau, highlighted the prevailing practice within Dimapur district where GBs of the area concerned were not normally informed when survey and spot verification were conducted by surveyors or mondals for mutation and transfer of ownership of land.

The union said the practice was on despite the fact that the area/colony GBs were well aware of the factual position and status of a particular plot/area.

“That however, due to non-inclusion of the concer ned area/colony GBs

while conducting spot verification, apparently there has been many disputes and under such circumstances, the GBs could not effectively play an active role to settle the matter in dispute,” the letter pointed out.

The union said that having deliberated on the existing random and unauthenticated practice in respect of spot survey, the GBs were of the strong opinion that GBs of the area/colony concerned should be included so that the GBs, who were well aware of the factual positions, could effectively assist the surveyors in conducting spot surveys and avoid complication and disputes in the process of transfer of land, title and ownership.

Further, the Dimapur GBs Union, has asked the deputy commissioner Dimapur to look into the matter on merit and on priority for the common interest and to evade any disputes.

SSU condemns theft

As a precautionary measure, SUU has directed all educational institutions, under Sovima, not to admit or entertain any of the persons allegedly involved in the theft. The SSU said that actions would be initiated against any educational institution admitting any of them into their institute.

SSU has also apologised to the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) for the incident which lead to “inexpressible inconveniences” for particularly the students and the authorities/ board in general. The union assured full support to NBSE in implementing its corrective measures against the defaulters.

It said that the GHS “has stood the test of time” and had emerged as a torch-bearer catering particularly to needy students from every section of society.

The union lamented that it was indeed very unfortunate that the incident had to occur at this juncture and tarnish the hard earned image of the school.

Further, SSU has appealed NBSC to keep GHS within its ambit for future programmes and objectives while assuring to work tirelessly to ensure such incidents do not occur in the future.

by the ancestors to the coming up generations. Er Levi also appealed them to maintain peaceful coexistence and cooperation to bring changes in the society.

He also deliberated on preserving the traditional practices, customs and culture of the ancestors.

CT Rengma in his narration of the history stated that although there is no written record on the friendship, the people have been made known about this friendship through oral history.

He said for years the ancestors have safeguarded and passed on this friendship and goodwill into the hands of the younger generation and now it was the younger generations who must continue and uphold this friendship.

Earlier, a function was held at Tesophenyu village and at Tuophema village. The friendship treaty monolith was unveiled and

Naga hill territory.

Mannen informed that in 1886, the Naga hills district was created at Samagooting (Chumukedima) as the district headquarter

by shifting the Naga subdivision headquarter at Asloo in the then Nawgong district.

He said British had adapted a clever policy of minimum interference in the traditional life of the native Naga people as the British wanted to keep the fierce native Nagas under their control with the barest minimum interference in their traditional way of life. Mannen said the British administrator brilliantly created the cadre of GBs in the village level and the DBs at the administrative headquarters (SDO & DC) as the linked institution.

He said that GBs and DBs were recruited purely on their own merit based on

their sound knowledge on local customary laws and traditions, honesty, integrity and unquestionable on their duty.

He stressed that the British organized the native elders handled and disposed off most intriguing cases to the full satisfaction of the parties through the indigenous system of dispensing justice.

Mannen also said that Dobashis were empowered to try criminal and civil cases endorsed to them by the deputy commissioner, additional deputy commissioner and other magistrates, where establishments of customary court as threetier village courts, subordinate and village courts as

provided in the Act. He called upon the dobashis to become the vital agent as the custodian of Naga customs and traditions, constantly engaging in improving, preserving, interpreting and implementing the customary laws and traditions keeping the original core spirit intact.

Earlier, God’s blessing was invoked by pastor, Town Baptist Church Chumukedima (TBCC), while welcome address was delivered by president DDDA Kedokhrielie DB. Naga folk song was presented by Medema Zunga Chumukedima and vote of thanks was proposed head GB Chumukedima, Pezalhouto.

Mizo Accord is shining example all over: Prez

The President, Shri Ram Nath Kovind addressing the special session of Mizoram Legislative Assembly, at Aizawl, in Mizoram on November 30, 2017. The Governor of Mizoram, Lt. Gen (Ret.) Nirbhay Sharma is also seen.

AIZAWL, NOV 30 (IANS): The signing, implementation and adherence to the Mizo Accord of 1986 is still held up as a shining example all over the world, President Ram Nath Kovind said in Aizawl on Thursday.

He said credit for the atmosphere of peace and development in Mizoram

goes to political stakeholders, civil societies, the Church and bodies affiliated to it.

“The accord was truly a miracle in the way in which it ended an insurgency situation and a conflict that had divided our country and Mizo society itself,” the President said

while addressing the special session of the Mizoram assembly.

Kovind said: “The accord and its legacy represent one of the greatest successes in India’s long history. “One must recall the enlightened and far-sighted leadership of Laldenga, as well as the efforts and generosity of

spirit of Lal Thanhawla, who is now the incumbent Chief Minister.”

After the 1959 famine, which resulted in the death of at least 100 people, besides heavy loss to human property and crops, the Mizo National Front (MNF) led

by Laldenga waged a 20year-long guerilla war (from 1966 to 1986), against the Indian government for independence before signing the peace accord with the Centre in 1986.

The MNF is now a regional political party that headed the state government in the Christian majority state led by former guerrilla leaders Laldenga (19861988) and Zoramthanga (1998-2008).

Mizoram became the 23rd state of the Union of India on February 20, 1987. The President said that Mizoram is in focus for the Centre’s “Act East Policy”. “This Policy aims at enhancing connectivity and trade linkages between Mizoram and the other

Northeastern states and the rest of the country – as well as neighbouring countries of Southeast Asia.”

Kovind said: “For a short time in our history there was a misconception about the Northeast India being a “frontier”. Far from that, it is at the heart of an ancient trade corridor.

“For centuries, South Asia and Southeast Asia have been perceived as a composite trading region, with cultural similarities as well.”

Congratulating the Mizoram Assembly, the President said: “In its decades-old history, it has established a reputation for smooth conduct of business.

“This assembly is a role model for our democracy and for how a Legislative House should function.”

The President after a two-day visit to Mizoram left for Nagaland where he will inaugurate the famous traditional Hornbill Festival and State Formation Day celebrations on Friday.

Schook, the state government is in advanced talks for establishment of a cantonment in the capital region.

“We have already identified 500 acres of land and the joint survey will be done shortly,” Rebia said adding, the matter was discussed during the recent visit of Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman who had approved it in principle. “The cantonment will have referral hospitals, schools and other infrastructure,” the minister added.

But I am ready for it,” Modi said, while talking about the “legacy” left behind for the NDA by the UPA government.

His remarks come in the midst of a fierce electoral battle between the Congress and the ruling BJP in the politically crucial state of Gujarat. Referring to demonetisation, he said it had brought about a “behavioural change” in the country. Corrupt people, for the first time after Independence, were scared of making illicit money.

“The day the country will have a technical and digital address for all monetary transactions, organised corruption would be checked to a great extent,” he said.

down by other issues – for instance like the coming of parliamentary elections, or even the leadership of concerned parties may change bringing us back to square one and we may have to start from scratch again,” the memorandum feared.

NSF, therefore, appealed to the President to bring the Indo-Naga political dialogue to a “logical conclusion at the earliest and before the elections or keep the election process in abeyance so that the younger generation could keep their dreams alive and hope to achieve goals as per their geniuses”.

Raising the issue of Post Matric Scholarship, the students’ body said majority students in the State pursuing higher studies depended heavily on the scholarship.

However, for the academic session 2016-2017, the State was witnessing delay in disbursement of Post Matric Scholarship due to non-release of funds from the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs, it pointed out.

NSF said it had learnt from the Department of Higher Education that utilisation certificate for the amount received as first instalment had been furnished to the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs, but the latter was not releasing the remaining amount.

“Therefore, we would like to appeal upon your esteemed authority to impress upon the Ministry of Tribal Affairs for early release of the remaining amount of Post Matric Scholarship,” the memorandum prayed.

NSF also wished the President a pleasant stay at Kohima and a safe return journey.

NH, NMA demand withdrawal of NIA “Like any other situation of conflict, most employees have no choice in such situations,” it added.

NMA also urged the Centre to be more sensitive in view of the present ongoing peace process and to avoid any kind of harassment by the agency or create situations by such unwanted labels of calling legitimate government employees as terrorists.

Naga Mother Association also asserted that though Naga women were ardent supporters of peace and non violent settlement of the Naga issue, they had been witness and victims of militarization and conflict during the seventy odd years of Naga struggle.

The ongoing peace process and peace talks with both NSCN (I-M) and now the six NPGs must culminate in an inclusive, just peace, NMA stated.

It also appealed for inclusion of other groups into the peace process and efforts to bring the NSCN (K) into a ceasefire at the earliest.

Further, NMA reiterated its demand for removal of the draconian Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) and lifting of the Disturbed Area Act from the state of Nagaland in the K

Naga Mother Association also said that the imposition of Armed Forces Special Power Act in Nagaland in the midst of the peace process has witnessed excessive army atrocities and violations of human rights and such records continue as recent, as the last few years.

During the rule of the previous government, he said, “Bhrashtachar hi shishtachar thha (corruption was the norm).”

He also said his government was committed to a development-centric eco system which would be citizen centric and free of corruption. Appreciating the role of Aadhaar in delivering services to the people and also checking pilferage, he said the system would also work as a tool to track down ‘benami’ properties.

Modi said for the past 70 years, people were fighting the system.

“The system was a hurdle in development, success.

My effort and commitment is that the people’s struggle with the system should end and ease of living should go up,” he said. Modi said the introduction of LED bulbs had helped save Rs 14,000 crore. “You would not believe the figure...had the government introduced a scheme (with an outlay of) Rs 14,000 crore, I would have secured a vote bank of middle income group (people) for the next 50 years,” he said.

the banking system had also brought along with it massive data, a “treasure trove” that would enable the government take action against wrong-doers, he said, adding that ill-gotten wealth earlier funding a parallel economy was now a part of the formal economy.

“This government cannot be stopped by anyone from taking steps which will bring permanent changes in the system and ensure the interest of the nation. I think those who feel this country cannot be changed using a magic wand are grappling with frustration and disappointment,” Modi said.

On GST, he said it had ushered in a new chapter of transparency in the country.

Talking about the “policy paralysis” of the UPA, he also took an apparent dig at the media.

“When we came to power what did we get as legacy? The condition of the economy, governance, fiscal order and banking system were in a bad shape.

NEW DELHI, NOV 30 (PTI): Former defence minister A K Antony, who suffered a “minor” brain haemorrhage at his home yesterday, will undergo surgery at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi, the hospital authorities said today. A team of neurosurgeons held a meeting today and decided to conduct surgery on Antony, who is now undergoing conservative treatment as the doctors needed time to decide their next course of action.

Conservative management is a type of treatment in which doctors avoid invasive measures such as surgery, usually with the intent to preserve function or body. Antony, 76, was admitted to the RML hospital after he “suffered a minor brain haemorrhage after he fell down at his home,” a hospital doctor said on condition of anonymity.

The senior Congress leader from Kerala was the defence minister during the previous UPA government. He served in that position for nearly seven-and-a-half years, the longest for an Indian defence minister. Earlier this month, he had criticised the Centre for not accommodating the Rohingya refugees, who were escaping persecution in Myanmar, and cited the example of former prime minister Indira Gandhi who “insisted on protecting” refugees from Bangladesh.

NEW DELHI, NOV 30 (PTI): Tearing into the UPA regime, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he was ready to pay a “big political price” for bringing about systemic changes in the country and asserted no one would be able to stop his government from taking “irreversible” decisions.

The prime minister said India was counted among the “fragile five” nations globally and the country’s economy, banking system and governance structure were in a poor shape when the NDA came to power ousting the UPA in 2014. But his government managed to make a turnaround, drawing world-wide recognition for having done so, he said.

At the 15th Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Modi listed the achievements of his government in a range of sectors and highlighted steps taken to contain black money and corruption, and on improving the banking system, governance and the overall lives of the common people.

Beating around the bush

egislators led by the chief minister T.R.Zeliang and the Church(NBCC) led by its general secretary Rev.Dr.Z.Keyho) got together at a joint colloquium held on November 29 at the NBCC office to put their heads together for the stated and common objective of holding free and fair election in Nagaland in order to achieve the objective of a ‘clean election.’ The chief minister believed that the church ought to play a more proactive role where is was vital and not to get involved where it was not. Some of the points raised by the chief minister included the advice on the church to check ‘indiscriminate involvement’ in distribution of money by candidates ‘beyond the limit’ prescribed by the Election Commission of India. Linking social evils together that are predominant during elections, the chief minister also asked the church to participate in ‘social policing’ to enforce the Prohibition Act including use of substance abuse. The chief minister also advised the church from participating in any election-related activity of meeting including ‘dedicatory prayer service’ (in political/campaign meetings). He advised the church to use the pulpit to spread awareness on clean, ethical and informed voting and also educate church members against receiving bribes or inducement in any form. The advice of the chief minister to the church was literally throwing the clean election ball in the church’s court. Of course, the points touched by the chief minister as part of his advisory to the church, are not unfounded. This newspaper has all along been saying that the church must first clean its own backyard before venturing out on such a challenging mission. The church has a lot of unfinished business to attend to, such as the Prohibition Act which has not only failed but turned spurious or adulterated alcohol/ liquor smuggling into one of the most lucrative business. When the church arm twisted the government to impose prohibition, it was meant to rid the plague of domestic violence and problems brought home by alcohol abuse.

The church in doing so, had also sought to drive home the point that it was a spiritual war against the devil who lives inside a bottle of alcohol/liquor.

They believed that once the bottle was banished, the inmate(devil) would also face the same fate.

However, by mistaking the wood for the trees, the battle against the bottle has instead spawned crime syndicates that have spread their tentacles across various strata of society. So, after the unsuccessful attempt at ridding society of the evils of alcohol by compelling a liquor ban, the church has taken up another very challenging task of achieving ‘Clean Election’. Politicians are made to steal in order to buy votes and the stolen money is also eagerly accepted as donations by all and sundry , even including the churches. The vicious cycle of social evils has plunged society to its lowest depths as crimes are no longer considered abhorrent. Corruption has evolved into a mass syndrome called asociality that has destroyed the ethical values of society. There has been too much being said about electoral evils but suffice to say, these reflect lack of honesty, integrity and accountability in our society.

DailyDevotion “By the Grace of God I Am What I Am” By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain… —1 Corinthians 15:10 The way we continually talk about our own inabilities is an insult to our Creator. To complain over our incompetence is to accuse God falsely of having overlooked us. Get into the habit of examining from God’s perspective those things that sound so humble to men. You will be amazed at how unbelievably inappropriate and disrespectful they are to Him. We say things such as, “Oh, I shouldn’t claim to be sanctified; I’m not a saint.” But to say that before God means, “No, Lord, it is impossible for You to save and sanctify me; there are opportunities I have not had and so many imperfections in my brain and body; no, Lord, it isn’t possible.” That may sound wonderfully humble to others, but before God it is an attitude of defiance.

Conversely, the things that sound humble before God may sound exactly the opposite to people. To say, “Thank God, I know I am saved and sanctified,” is in God’s eyes the purest expression of humility. It means you have so completely surrendered yourself to God that you know He is true. Never worry about whether what you say sounds humble before others or not. But always be humble before God, and allow Him to be your all in all.

There is only one relationship that really matters, and that is your personal relationship to your personal Redeemer and Lord. If you maintain that at all costs, letting everything else go, God will fulfill His purpose through your life. One individual life may be of priceless value to God’s purposes, and yours may be that life.

Is the Bible against or for Political Liberation?

T

he Prophet Isaiah prophesied about the coming of an “Anointed Ruler” whose mission was “to preach good news to the poor, … to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners” (Isa. 61:1). The political implication of the text here is obvious in view of the fact that this prophecy was given against the backdrop of Israel’s captivity in Babylon. Even the literary contexts suggest that this was primarily about Israel’s ultimate freedom under the Messiah who would deal with other human rulers and other nations in favor of His people at a future time (Isa. 60:1-22; 61:4-11). Thus, liberation, according to Isaiah, is not merely a spiritual experience. Rather, it has much to do with social, political and economic freedom on earth.

Je s u s q u o t e d t h i s prophecy of Isaiah two thousand years ago (Luke 4:18-19). Now, the question is, did Jesus strip off all earlier political implications found in Isaiah’s prophecy and make it a purely

spiritual thing, such as the deliverance of our souls from Satan? Does the fact that He did not overthrow the Roman Empire and set up a literal kingdom on earth at His first advent imply that He has annulled the political implications in Isaiah’s prophecy?

My contention is that Jesus had not annulled or altered the political implications in Isaiah’s prophecy. Allow me to explain my reasoning: First, Jesus came to fulfill the Scriptures, not to annul or alter them (Matt.

5:17). So, He could not have changed the meaning of Isaiah’s prophecy.

Second, Jesus came as God’s anointed King. As such, He presented Himself as King and inaugurated the kingdom of God. In preaching about the kingdom of God, He affirmed His rule as a present reality, although that was very different from the way the world would have it. In a way, He sowed the “seed” of the kingdom at His first coming. The full manifestation of His rule still awaits a future time. To put it another way, what Jesus did in His first coming

To His op- tion for political freedom ponents, He represented a from India, or from any

other power, is in line with God’s idea of human liberation. As a matter of fact, the Nagas wanting Jesus as their King, despite our many shortcomings, seem to be part of God’s higher purpose. Even our desperate conditions as a suffering people under various oppressions seem to perfectly reflect the conditions of those described in Isaiah’s passage. In light of all these applicable truths, perhaps it won’t be presumptuous to pray that God would fulfill Isaiah 61:1-3 for us and manifest His reign through us in the world.

In my opinion, the Naga aspiration to be an independent nation-state was God-inspired. The movement started with a deep longing for freedom from the British Colonial Power and later from India’s neocolonialism, which is a reconstitution of previous colonial subjugation by new forms of political/economic dependency on the newly created Independent India. In addition, we have the Indian imperialistic tendency to establish and extend its subjugating control to the farthest reaches of the peripheries that were

previously not her own.

Having lived under this sort of political arrangement for seven decades, the Nagas of today seem to be totally confused and despondent.

Amidst all this, the talks in our public squares are all about reaching an agreement, whatever it is, with India, as long as that is “honorable and acceptable” to all Nagas. Some others only want to see a complete closure to our Naga movement. That’s why they keep insisting on making a “final and permanent settlement,” possibly even if that means burying all the achievements we have made so far in our journey of becoming a nation among other nations.

So, could we pause to ask, what is really an honorable solution? Is selling our God-given birthright to be a free people honorable?

Also, think about this: The past generations offered their lives and everything they had for the Naga future; yes, for us they suffered and died in hunger, in thirst, in water, by sword and bullet. Now, would forgetting their sacrifices be considered honorable?

(From previous issue) It was all at once accepted by all and decided to adopt as common spoken language which in due course been approved by the Govt. of Nagaland as common spoken official language, Thats how the name of the lin-gua-franca of the Nagas as ‘NAGAMESE’ for spoken broken Assamese came about.

Nagamese as lin-gua-Franca of the Nagas irrespective of its status has impacted on our societies in many ways than we can count.

Without any dispute it has been a unifying factor among the Nagas.

Understanding the value of the measure if we measure the good side of Nagamese one may end up saying the value of Nagamese for the Nagas is immeasurable. It has gone even across the international boundary, even within our own state. It has tremendously impacted on our day to day socio-political life and spiritual life as well. It is heartening to learnt that – Holy Bible has also been translated into Nagamese, some hymnals have also been produced and Anglo-Nagamese Dictionary being produced soon. All this efforts will be surely not go in vain. They will surely be laden with the intented fruits. But let us also not be misled by the thought that Nagamese is a God given mother tongue to the Nagas. Nagamese is no doubt a good common language for the Nagas but it is not our respective tribes’ mother tongue.

Nagamese is a loose ungrammared and ungrammarable language. Even if it is claimed that Nagamese has been grammared, I doubt whether it would stand scrutiny of the authenticity in the strictest sense of the term grammar.

I say this because of the simple reason that Nagamese has no script of its own. It has no base and proper foundation. As some of the protagonist have enumerated the language that are there to make Nagamese as a language, it simply cannot be

imagined how difficult it will be to grammar it. With my very limited knowledge of literature, I am of the strong opinion that Nagamese is not easily grammarable.

In the known history of language development there has not been any recognised official tongue (Language) without mother. Every tongue excepting the unknown tongue, has mother. Every human being born of a legitimate mother has mother tongue. In todays world there are children without Mother tongue but they are just exception.

In our state of Nagaland language spoken by the most people as linguaFranca will be Nagamese without any dispute.

Is there anyone who can come out to mother it to legitimise it as mother tongue? I doubt. Hence I call it a tongue without mother.

Today many young Naga mothers do not know their mother tongue.

They are more comfortable with Nagamese and English and when the young mothers do not know their mother tongue whose tongue will their children speak? Where are we heading? Who will take the responsibilities of all these undoings. It is not we elderly parents who are directly responsible? Working side by side with the Education Department and every Naga tribe having its literature committee to develop our respective mother tongues, let us examine how far have we been doing justice to our assigned responsibilities. Barring few advanced tribes, we all have been failing in our duties. Instead of promoting our God-given mother tongues we have been intentionally or unintentionally trying to develop /research Nagamese.

My opinion view, yes, it is good to develop Nagamese to the extent that it is useful for us. But it should never be at the expense of developing our dialects.

Government of Nagaland. And henceforth, the Centre Authority on National affairs rest solely with the Federal Government of Nagaland.

6. Indian Puppet “State Government”: Any previous tentative attempts to cover up Indian aggression and the evil deeds of the army in Nagaland could no longer be sustained after 1960. The predicament of the Indian Government led bureau Chief of Indian Intelligence Mr. Sudhim Dutt based in Shillong, Assam to devise the hijacking of the hitherto incoherent Naga salaried men proto-NGO by the name Naga People’s Convention (NPC) on 24th July 1960 at Dimapur in Nagaland. Through Mr. Dutt, Indian government exploited the politically vulnerable NPC for its experiment.

Firstly, politicize the hapless NPC to pose as the contending Naga entity representing Nagaland in the conflict with India.

Secondly, stage mange India as the conciliatory party ready to be magnanimous. Thirdly, selling the scheme to the world as the marriage made in heaven. By this crude meddling in Naga internal affairs, the experiment produces the so called 16 point Agreement which created the puppet “Nagaland State government” in December 1963. As expected the cheap trickery by India did not alter the course of the war.

The war goes on and by 1964, over 100,000 Naga people have lost their lives, hardly any Naga family escaped Indian army brutality.

7. Present context: India while in the process of its stage managed political talks in similar manner to the above with factionalised renegade groups to resolve Indo-Naga Conflict.

This once again proved that the conflict remains unresolved. On the other hand, the President of India coming to Nagaland to celebrate the puppet statehood in Nagaland is illogical and self exposure of another cheap trickery.

agement System (S-SMS), developed by Punjab Agricultural University, which provides for the straw to be spread on the field.

The seasonal burning of paddy straw in Punjab and Haryana aggravates pollution in Delhi every winter. The issue has turned political in the recent years with the neighbouring governments indulging in blame game over it.

Earlier this month, pollution in the city hit emergency levels due to the traditional practice as smoke-laden winds from that region had shrouded Delhi in a thick blanket of smog.

Harish Salve, the amicus curiae who works closely with the Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority or EPCA, submitted the plan to the apex court on November 17.

“The THS and S-SMS each cost between Rs 1.2 and 1.5 lakh. Given that there are roughly 13,000 panchayats in Punjab and some 6,500 in Haryana, if even three sets of these machines are given free to each panchayat, it would only require some Rs 2,000 crore to be spent in Punjab and Haryana (Punjab would need Rs 1,300 and Haryana Rs 650 crore),” it says.

NEW DELHI, NOV 30 (PTI): A Rs 2,000-crore road map to end stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana suggests that the government must provide equipment to farmers for free instead of subsidies, and the cost be recovered by imposing cess on sale of petrol and diesel in Delhi.

According to the plan, submitted to the Supreme Court by an amicus curiae in an ongoing case related to air pollution, the best solution to avoid burning of crop residue is to till the straw back into the field using certain machines.

According to official estimates, over 30 million tonnes of paddy straw are annually generated in Punjab and Haryana, which are later set to fire by farmers to reduce the turnaround time between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat crop.

“The Centre and state governments must provide machines free of cost to farmers to use. This requires large-scale governmental procurement of the agricultural equipment, which should be given to every panchayat for common use,” says the report.

It says the most promising technologies in this area are Turbo Happy Seeder (THS), which allows for seeding without till and the Super Straw Man-

ANCSU leaders also appealed the SIT to investigate the matter in all seriousness and bring the erring officials, if any, to book.

New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): Corporates getting into the areas of environment, social and governance issues makes “economic sense”, according to former Sebi chief U K Sinha.

Sinha, who retired as chairman of Sebi earlier this year, also said that in order to compete with the best corporates in the world, Indian companies have to actively participate and imbibe in their culture concerns for the environment, concern for social issues.

DIMAPUR, NOV 30 (NPN): Vice president M. Venkaiah Naidu along with the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N.Chandra Babu Naidu inaugurated the VIT-AP University Academic and Hostel Blocks (Vellore Institute of Technology- AP University) at Amravati, the new capital of Andhra Pradesh on November 27. In his inaugural address Naidu said that education was not only for employment but also for enlightenment and empowerment. He further said that the Destiny of a country was shaped in the Class Room. Naidu further emphasized that economic disparities and social evils should be eradicated. Irrespective of caste, color, creed, religion and sex people should come forward to unite together for the development of the nation, he said. N.Chandra Babu Naidu said that VIT-AP University was established in Amaravati with the aim of providing excellent learning experiences. Without the support of farmers land pooling of 33,500 acres would not be possible, he added. Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of VIT-AP University, local MLAs, MPs and other dignitaries attended the inaugural function.

It said that the above listed Reserve Forests and areas were systematically transferred to Sibsagar and Nowgong districts when there was no Diphu and Golaghat as district headquarters. UNTABA asserted that the Assam and Central governments “can never ever compensate the Naga people over its illegal occupations, random destructions and exploitations of these fertile and rich areas and for allowing random settlements of the people of illegal immigrants and labor tribes from the Central India over these lands starting from the establishment of Tea Industries in 1860s, extraction of Coal and Petroleum products and by bringing Railway track in 1898 onwards. History will never forgive nor can it be re-written.”

“A 10 per cent growth is a very challenging figure and a 10 per cent growth will not depend merely on domestic factors. It will also depend on how the world is moving,” said Jaitley.

“We managed for three years, a 7-8 per cent growth rate at the time when the world was moving slowly.

And I think we effectively used that period, while we were growing between 7 and 8 per cent and the world was slow, in order to bring a series of structural changes in the economy. Certainly, it will help us in the medium and long term to expedite the growth itself.

we need to have a boom period that we had between 2003 and 2008. If the world is only on recovery mode, as the world today is, for an economy to generate that kind of demand on its own is going to be extremely difficult,” he asserted.

Talking about the banking sector, Jaitley pointed out that over the last three years, the growth would have been a little higher if the banks -- which were full of non-performing assets (NPA) -- were robust enough to support the growth.

“I think one of the biggest challenges over the last three years has been that we inherited a banking system which was full of NPAs. Our solution also is a little delayed solution and the ability of banks to support growth was restricted,” the minister said.

“I’m quite certain that even in the slowdown period, when we grew between 7-8 per cent - 8 per cent in one year and 7.6 in another year - we could have notched a little higher had the banks been more robust in being able to support the growth,” Jaitley maintained.

New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS): Asserting that a single rate Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not possible in the country, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Thursday it is only applicable in a nation where the purchasing power of the people is uniform.

“It is possible only in an economy where there is similarly placed population to have a single rate to start off with. In a highly differentiated society like India, it is not possible. Therefore we started with differential rates,” Jaitley said here at the HT Leadership Summit.

“We had an atrocious tax system pre-July 1. These brackets would not have been possible if everyone were not on the same page. Let me make it clear, though, a single rate GST is not possible in India. We cannot have a tax system which has the same rate for a Hawai chappal and Mercedes car,” Jaitley asserted.

Pope demands ‘decisive measures’ on Rohingyas D h a k a , N ov 3 0 (Agencies): Pope Francis demanded on Thursday that the international community take “decisive measures” to resolve the causes of the mass exodus of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, breaking his recent silence over what the United Nations has declared to be a textbook case of “ethnic cleansing.”

Arriving in Bangladesh from Myanmar, Pope Francis said it also was “imperative” for world governments to immediately provide assistance to help the Bangladeshi government cope with Asia’s worst refugee crisis in decades.

In a speech before Bangladesh President President Abdul Hamid, government officials and ambassadors from around the world, Pope Francis praised Bangladesh’s sacrifice and generosity in welcoming in so many refugees “before the eyes of the whole world.”

He didn’t identify the Rohingya by name, ethnicity or faith, referring only to “refugees from Rakhine state.” But his words were sharp.

“None of us can fail to be aware of the gravity of the situation, the immense toll of human suffering involved, and the precarious living conditions of so many of our brothers and

sisters, a majority of whom are women and children, crowded in the refugee camps,” he said.

“It is imperative that the international community take decisive measures to address this grave crisis, not only by working to resolve the political issues that have led to the mass displacement of people, but also by offering immediate material assistance to Bangladesh in its effort to respond effectively to urgent human needs.”

Pope Francis, a tireless and fearless advocate for refugees, outcasts and society’s most marginal, had drawn criticism from human rights organizations and Rohingya themselves for having failed to speak out publicly about the Rohingya’s plight while he was in Myanmar.

Pope Francis had remained silent out of diplo-

matic deference to his hosts, who consider the Rohingya as having illegally migrated from Bangladesh and don’t recognize them as one of Myanmar’s ethnic groups.

More than 620,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar and poured into Bangladesh refugee camps over the last few months amid a scorched earth campaign

by Myanmar’s military.

The Vatican defended Pope Francis’ silence in Myanmar, saying he wanted to “build bridges” with the predominantly Buddhist nation, which only recently established diplomatic relations with the Holy See. Spokesman Greg Burke said Pope Francis took seriously the advice given to him by the local Catholic Church, which urged him to toe a cautious line and not even refer to the “Rohingya” by name.

Russia accuses US of Trump hits out at May over tweet criticism goading North Korea L o nd o n , N ov 3 0 (Agencies): Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the US of seeking to provoke North Korea into stepping up its nuclear missile programme.

He rejected a call by the American envoy to the UN Security Council to sever ties with the North after its latest ballistic missile test.

According to BBC, Russia argues sanctions do not work and advocates negotiations instead.

The US has warned that North Korea’s government will be “utterly destroyed” if war breaks out.

On Wednesday, the North tested its first missile in two months, saying the continental US was now within striking distance.

However, defence experts have cast doubt on its ability to master the technology needed to launch a missile carrying a warhead capable of re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

Speaking on a visit to the Belarussian capital Minsk, Mr Lavrov asked whether America was actively seeking to destroy North Korea.

“One gets the impression that everything has been done on purpose to make Kim Jong-un snap and carry out further inadvisable actions,” he said.

The Americans, he said, “should explain to us

all what they’re after”.

“If they want to find a pretext for destroying North Korea, as the US envoy said at the UN Security Council, then let them say it outright and let the supreme American leadership confirm it.”

Calling for new talks with North Korea, Mr Lavrov added: “We have already emphasised several times that the squeeze of sanctions has essentially come to an end, and that those resolutions which introduced the sanctions should have included a requirement to renew the political process, a requirement to renew talks.

“But the Americans completely ignore this requirement and I consider this a big mistake.”

After China, Russia is one of the few states with which North Korea still has good relations. Both Russia and China wield a veto at the UN Security Council.

President Donald Trump asked his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to cut off oil supplies to the North.

“We know the main driver of its [North Korea’s] nuclear production is oil,” said Ms Haley. “The major supplier of that oil is China.”

China is a historic ally and North Korea’s most important trading partner, and Pyongyang is thought to depend on China for much of its oil supplies.

L o nd o n , N ov 3 0 (Agencies): Donald Trump has told Prime Minister Theresa May to focus on “terrorism” in the UK after she criticised his sharing of far-right videos.

“Don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom,” Mr Trump tweeted.

According to BBC, the US president had earlier retweeted three inflammatory videos posted online by a British far-right group.

Mrs May’s spokesman said it was “wrong for the president to have done this”.

The US and the UK are close allies and often described as having a “special relationship”. Theresa May was the first foreign leader to visit the Trump White House.

The speaker of the House of Commons has granted a request for an urgent question on the matter from Labour MP Stephen Doughty.

MPs have been reacting to the tweet, with Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke backing Mrs May and calling Britain First a “ghastly, obnoxious

Donald Trump

organisation”. But while Education Secretary Justine Greening said she disagreed with Mr Trump’s actions, they should not be allowed to damage the special relationship between the two countries.

The videos shared by Mr Trump, who has more than 40 million followers, were initially posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, a group founded by former members of the far-right British National Par ty (BNP).

Ms Fransen, 31, has been charged in the UK with using “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour” over speeches she made at a rally in Belfast.

Several leading UK politicians have criticised the president for retweet-

ing her posts, as has the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who said it was “deeply disturbing” that Mr Trump had “chosen to amplify the voice of farright extremists”.

And it has led to renewed calls for Mr Trump’s planned state visit to the UK to be cancelled, although Downing Street said on Wednesday that the invitation still stood.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has previously called for the “ill-judged” trip to be cancelled, said: “It beggars belief that the president of our closest ally doesn’t see that his support of this extremist group actively undermines the values of tolerance and diversity that makes Britain so great.

“After this latest incident, it is increasingly clear that any official visit at all from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed.”

In hitting out at Mrs May, Mr Trump first tagged the wrong Twitter account, sending his statement to a different user with just six followers. He then deleted the tweet and posted it again, this time directing the message to the UK PM’s official account.

First Sikh woman elected as mayor in the US New York, Nov 30 (PTI): Preet Didbal has been elected as the mayor of Yuba city in California, becoming the first Sikh woman to hold the position in the United States.

Dibal was appointed by the California city council and will be sworn in on December 5, KCRA-TV, an NBC-affiliated television station, reported.

There are other Sikh mayors across the country – Ravi Bhalla was elected earlier this month as mayor in Hoboken, New Jersey.

However, Didbal is the first Sikh woman to be elected as mayor in the country, the report said.

Didbal was elected to Yuba City Council in 2014 and is currently vice mayor.

She is the first in her family to graduate from college.

“Seeing someone that looks like you, that comes from the same faith as you, to be elected in a public office in this country is inspiring and exciting. And it’s definitely moving,” Jaydeep Singh with the Sikh Coalition said.

Europe’s Muslim population to grow, migration or not

BERLIN, Nov 30 (Agencies): Europe’s Muslim population will continue to grow over the next several decades even if all immigration to the continent should stop, according to a study published on Thursday.

The Pew Research Center report modeled three scenarios for estimating the number of Muslims who would be living in Europe by 2050. All three used a mid-2016 estimate of 25.8 million as a baseline, but assumed different future migration rates.

Under the ``zero migration’’ scenario, an estimated 30 million Muslims would make up 7.4 percent of Europe’s population by 2050 compared to the 4.9 percent they comprised last year, the report projected.

The researchers said that is mostly because Muslims are on average 13 years younger than other Europeans and also have a higher birthrate, the Pew researchers said.

bounced it off them. Presentations have been made and they are in agreement with the FTP so that they get enough rest. Number of days, I can’t tell you as we have not yet worked it out,” Rai said.

As per the current pay structure, contracted Grade A players are paid Rs two crore annually, Grade B players are in the Rs one crore bracket, followed by Grade C at Rs 50 lakh per year.

The per Test match fee for the first XI players stands at Rs 15 lakh, while they are paid Rs six lakh and Rs three lakh per ODI and Twenty20 respectively.

The players outside first XI but in the squad are paid half these amounts. Former coach Anil Kumble, during a presentation to the COA, had demanded Rs five crore for the Grade A players.

The modalities of the new pay structure are,

however, not yet known.

“This was a pathbreaking initiative, we feel we’ve found a common ground and aligned our thoughts for the betterment of the game - be it the policies under which the player remuneration and FTP will be worked upon,” Rai stated.

It has also been reliably learnt that the Indian team, which is scheduled to play a full series in England between July and September next year, will travel there two weeks in advance to get acclimatised with the conditions.

This comes after Kohli complained of lack of time to prepare for the upcoming tour of South Africa for which the team is scheduled to leave on December 27, just a couple of days after winding up a home series against Sri Lanka.

On the proposed pay hike, Rai did not spell out the remuneration plan but said that both Kohli and Dhoni were in agreement with the structure which is being worked out.

“The principles on which compensation package has to be structured, that has been agreed to. It’s only a question of numbers now. We will now match the revenue with compensation that each player receives,” the former CAG chief said.

When asked if there will be separate structures for red and white ball specialists, Rai said: “There was no discussion on this topic.”

Chanu wins gold at World C’ships KTM organizes stunt show in Dimapur

NEW DELHI, Nov 30 (Agencies): Mirabai Chanu gave India a reason to smile on Thursday after clinching the country’s first weightlifting World Championships gold medal since 1995. The gold medal was an upset of sorts, considering that Mirabai’s combined lift of 194kg — 85kg in snatch and 109kg in clean and jerk — was one kg over the best attempt of the overwhelming favourite from Thailand, Thunya Sukcharoen, in the women’s 48kg category, according to Firstpost.

Mirabai’s gold medal — India’s first at the prestigious World Championships since Karnam Malleswari’s medal in 1995 — also presented the 23-year-old lifter with redemption of sorts as she had failed to get an overall total in the women’s 48kg event at last year’s Rio Olympics, which was her debut appearance at the grandest stage of all. She later admitted she suffered a bad bout of nerves, which led her to successfully lift just one of her six attempts — three in snatch and three in clean and jerk.

Mirabai could not lift

she managed to somehow hold on to the weight in her second chance.

Mirabai has been widely seen as a successor to Malleswari, who won a bronze medal for India at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

The World Championships gold is another reason to mark her as one of India’s brightest prospects in the discipline. She has previously clinched a silver at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games and a gold medal at the 12th South Asian Games in 2016.

Mirabai made waves while qualifying for the Rio Olympics by breaking two national records — the first, a 12-year-old record held by veteran weightlifter Kunjarani Devi when she lifted 192kg at the selection trials; and then her own record by lifting 85kg in the snatch event. In fact, her attempt would have been good enough to fetch her a bronze medal at the LonMirabai Chanu attempts a lift on her way to win the gold don Olympics in 2012. medal in women’s 48kg category at the World Weightlifting Championships in Anaheim on Thursday.

any of her attempts in clean and jerk — a 104kg try followed by two 106kg tries — while in snatch, she

got only her second attempt correct out of the three chances. After failing to lift 82kg in her first attempt,

Goa beat 10-man Bengaluru 4-3 in thriller Margao, Nov 30 (PTI): Striker Ferran Corominas scored the first hat-trick of the season as FC Goa beat 10-man Bengaluru FC 4-3 in a thrilling match of the Indian Super League here Thursday.

Corominas struck in the 16th, 33rd and 63rd minutes while Manuel Lanzarote Bruno scored in the 40th minute for FC Goa. Bengaluru, who played with ten men in the entire second half, scored through Nicolas Ladislao Fedor (20th and 60th) and Erjk Endel Paaralu (57th).

Bengaluru, who had an impressive start by winning both their matches, were the first to test rival keeper Laxmikant kattimani who made a diving save off a Erik Endel Paartalu header from a free kick taken by Eduardo Garcia Martin in the 12th minute. But the home team responded with a quick counter move.

Eduardo Bedia Plealez sent a long lob from the right to Ferran Corominas who bulldozed a host of rival defenders before slotting the ball into the net with a deft placement to give the home side the lead in the 16th

Goa players celebrate after scoring a goal against Bengaluru.

minute. Bengaluru retaliated and restored parity four minutes latter with a set piece move. Lenny Rodrigues set up Erik Endel Paaartalu who split the rival defence with a through pass for Nicolas Ladislao Fedor to beat keeper Kattimani with an low angular drive.

Bengaluru grew into confidence as the match wore on and once again took the lead in the 33rd minute. Manuel Laanzarote who was the livewire in the midfield took the free kick from the right and floated the ball inside the box for Bruno Filipe Tavares Pinheiro head the ball on the

path of Corominas who squeezed past the rival defender and shot home.

Bengaluru received a double blow when their keeper Gur preet Singh Sandhu needlessly challenged Manuel Lanzarote Bruno and punched him behind the neck inside the box and referee R Palmson Moses Raj awarded a penalty and gave Gurpreet marching orders.

Manuel Laanzarote himself took the penalty and made no mistake in finding the net to give FC Goa a 3-1 lead at half time.

After the change of ends, Bengaluru matched

their rivals and made attacking moves and reduced the margin in the 50th minute when Erik Endel Paartalu rose highest to nod home a corner kick taken

by Eduardo Garcia from the right.

The Goan defence once again fumbled as defenders Narayan and Mohammed Ali failed to tackle Nicolas Ladislao Fedor who scored his second goal in the 60th minute to restore parity once again. But the Goan once fought back and scored the match-winner with Corominas completing first hat-trick to give Goa their second win and first at home.

Sterling rescues Man City; Rooney lifts Everton

(L) Raheem Sterling curled the ball home on 96 minutes to secure all three points for City. (R) Wayne Rooney celebrates after scoring a goal against West Ham United.

L o nd o n, N ov 3 0 (Agencies): Raheem Sterling scored a stunning 96th-minute winner as Manchester City dramatically edged Southampton 2-1 on Wednesday to preserve their eight-point lead at the Premier League summit.

Pep Guardiola’s side looked set to drop points after Oriol Romeu cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne’s opener, only for Sterling to give City a 19th straight win in all competitions and

a club-record 12th successive win in the league.

It was Sterling’s third late winner in as many games and will have sickened second-place Manchester United, who had closed to within five points of the leaders by winning 4-2 at Watford on Tuesday.

Elsewhere there were wins for Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and upwardly mobile Burnley, while Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick as Everton beat West Ham United 4-0 in front of Sam

Allardyce, who is set to become their new manager.

City went ahead in the 47th minute against Southampton when Virgil van Dijk, under pressure from Nicolas Otamendi, diverted De Bruyne’s free-kick into his own net, with the Belgian midfielder awarded the goal.

Romeu levelled with 15 minutes to play when Sofiane Boufal helped the ball into his path and the Southampton midfielder hammered a shot in off

the crossbar. But with time almost up, Sterling exchanged passes with De Bruyne and curled a glorious shot past Fraser Forster to send Guardiola into raptures on the touchline.

Third-place Chelsea belied the first-half dismissal of manager Antonio Conte for dissent to win 1-0 at home to Swansea City courtesy of a 55th-minute header by defender Antonio Rudiger.

Mesut Ozil shone on his return to Arsenal’s

starting XI after illness as Arsene Wenger’s men thrashed Huddersfield Town 5-0 to tighten their grip on fourth place.

Alexandre Lacazette set Arsenal on their way to a 12th straight home league win by finishing from Aaron Ramsey’s flick in the third minute.

Ozil put the game to bed in a dazzling four-minute spell mid-way through the second half, setting up goals for substitute Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez before finding the net himself. Giroud completed the scoring.

Liverpool leapfrogged Tottenham Hotspur into fifth place courtesy of a 3-0 victory at Stoke City.

Jurgen Klopp’s side took the lead through Sadio Mane’s neat dink in the 17th minute and substitute Mohamed Salah added a late brace, the first of which was a stunning volley, to take his goal tally for the campaign to 12.

Man of the day was the evergreen Rooney, who scored his first hat-trick in over six years to lead Everton to a morale-boosting

win over third-bottom West Ham. Allardyce was in the stands at Goodison Park after Everton announced he was finalising terms to succeed the sacked Ronald Koeman as manager.

David Moyes returned to Goodison as West Ham manager and had the misfortune to have a frontrow seat for a sensational performance by the player whose career he launched.

With David Unsworth still in caretaker charge, Everton took an 18th-minute lead when Rooney headed in at the second attempt after his penalty was parried by Joe Hart.

Tom Davies teed up Rooney to sweep in a second and after Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had saved a spot-kick from Manuel Lanzini, Rooney completed his hat-trick with a stupendous goal.

After racing from his box, Hart fluffed his clearance and from 15 yards inside his own half, Rooney drilled an exquisite firsttime finish back over the West Ham goalkeeper’s head.
