NPF snaps ties with BJP T.R.ZELIANG TO LEAD NPF IN POLLS AS CM CANDIDATE

Staff Reporter:

D imap u r , J an 1 6 (NPN): In a significant political development having far reaching ramification, the NPF has reaffirmed its resolution adopted on July 19,2017 in Kohima, when its Central Executive Council, Central Office Bearers, Division Presidents and Frontal organisation office bearers decided to sever all ties with its Central Office Bearers(COB) This was among four other resolutions adopted by the NPF at a meeting of its Central Officer Bearers(COB) held in Kohima on Monday evening.

The NPF also resolved that chief minister T.R.Zeliang will continue and also will be the chief ministerial candidate of the NPF in the event the party returns to power after the 2018 assembly election.

It was also resolved that no MP of the NPF will be allowed to return to state politics without completing the tenure in parliament.

This particular resolution was being seen as an attempt to send a strong message to Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio against entering the fray.

Reliable sources told Nagaland Post that the COB

Power cuts to continue in Dmu

resolution is likely to have a cascading effect on political realignments in the coming days.

By the fourth resolution, the NPF has also decided that the party will field only winnable candidates for the 2018 assembly election. It is believed that more than half of the present NPF legislators and Independent aspirants will not be issued party tickets.

The above resolutions of the COB of the NPF with regard to severance of ties with the BJP has taken many members by surprise as it was believed the patch up between NPF president Dr.Shürhozelie Liezietsu and chief minister T.R.Zeliang had resolved all matters.

The NPF party wings had passed the resolution to sever ties with BJP on July 19 following the dismissal of Dr.Shürhozelie Liezietsu as chief minister by the Governor and the BJP’s role in supporting T.R.Zeliang during the crisis in July.

The ties between the NPF and BJP stretch way back to 1977 during the formation of Janata Party which was formed as a national alternative to Congress.

Two new political en-

trants to the state- Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party(NDPP) led by former Congress veteran Chingwang Konyak as president and retired chief secretary Alemtemshi Jamir as working president and the National People’s Party(NPP) of late P.A.Sangma and presently headed by Conrad Sangma MP(Lok Sabha) will hope to reap dividends at the expense of NPF. Those current NPF legislators who are unlikely to get party tickets could switch over to either of the three parties- BJP, NPP and NDPP. In the event NPF decides it can go it alone then the BJP can bang on NPP an alliance partner of NDA. The NPF decision also throws a spanner in the scheme of the North East Democratic Alliance(NEDA) a regional alliance which is part of the NDA at the centre.

With elections to several states including Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura likely to be announced through a notification by the Election Commission of India(ECI), all contending and intending parties are positioning themselves for the big fight.

D I M A P UR , J A N 1 6 (NPN): Dimapur is expected to face power cuts for a week as it could take time to replace/repair cables at the distribution centre at Power Grid Corporation of India, Nagarjan, damaged in Monday’s fire incident.

Chief Manager of power grid, P Bora, however, told Nagaland Post that the residents need not worry as the distribution unit was providing electricity to the power department with temporary arrangements. State power department official, however, claimed that the department was not getting the required electricity. The official, therefore, stated that load shedding would continue as there was a fluctuation in the amount of the electricity received by the department after the fire incident. On Monday afternoon, power supply to Dimapur including BSNL mobile network and internet services were disrupted after a fire broke out at one of the power panels at the primary power distribution centre, at Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCI), Government of India, at Nagarjan.

The minister also dedicated the Asthamangal project implemented by the BSNL to the nation and northeast region.

Under the project, alternate bandwidth of 810 Gbps at a cost of about Rs 35 crore has been provided by the BSNL using reliable connectivity through optical power ground fibre of Power Grid Corporation of India for all state headquarters and important locations in the northeast region.

NSF launches poster campaign

NSF volunteers pasting posters on the wall at Kohima town on Tuesday. (NP) Correspondent

KOHIMA, JAN 16 (NPN): Ahead of its proposed “general mass rally” scheduled for January 23, 2018 at Naga Solidarity Park, Kohima, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) January 15 night began its poster campaign in the state capital to impress upon the Government of India to reach a final agreement on Naga political issue before the Assembly election.A representative of the federation told Nagaland Post that the poster and banner campaign would continue in various districts of the state.

Posters and banners

have been put up in and around Kohima town. Some of them read “We want solution not election”; “Settle the ongoing Indo-Naga peace process vis-à-vis political dialogue before state assembly election”, “No solution no election” etc.

NSF asserted that Nagas’ struggle for their sovereign right was abounded not by the individual interest of their political leaders but for the future interest of the Naga people at large.

Asserting it represented the aspirations and sentiments of the young Naga generation, the NSF said it was therefore compelled to voice out its utmost concern

since the ongoing peace process gets unduly delayed.

Further, NSF lamented that ongoing scenario looks even more perplexed despite the lapse of more than 20 years of negotiation and even after signing of the framework agreement on August 3, 2015.

The federation maintained that with the Nagaland state legislative assembly due for election, suspicion was running deep as the upcoming state assembly election was likely to create more confusion and delay the ongoing dialogue, negating the spirit and concerted efforts of the Naga people.

Seleyi also appreciated the support and cooperation of all its affiliated units and all tribal organisations extended to APO through good and bad times as well. He also maintained that APO must strive to work not only for

the Angamis but for the people of the state.

He also noted with concern the lack of dignity of labour among the younger generation and urged the parents and elders on the need to teach the youngsters about ‘work and earning’ through one’s own sweat and labour.

Sekhose also expressed concern at westernisation which he said, has diluted way of life among Nagas today.

He also pointed out that many Nagas today opt to converse in English within family and friends and steadily losing the importance of speaking in one’s own mother tongue. He advised the parents and elders to teach the young to respect and value one’s dialect to keep our identity intact.

NCP to go solo in M’laya, Nagaland and Tripura

Hand grenade found in army office in Manipur Imphal, Jan 16 (IANS): Police in Imphal have recovered a foreign-made hand grenade on Tuesday here in M-Sector where some army offices, including the defence wing of the Press Information Bureau, are located.

Police said the Chinese hand grenade was lobbed but had failed to explode.

It’s being speculated that the grenade was hurled at pre-dawn on Tuesday.

Police said “every inch of M-sector compound was tooth combed on Monday night and this grenade would have been found during the operations”.

On Monday night, one grenade was hurled inside the army office compound.

Nobody in the office was hurt though one woman sustained shrapnel injuries.

Twenty minutes after the first blast, a powerful bomb planted a few metres away from M-Sector was also detonated by remote control.

So far, no insurgent group has claimed responsibility. Security measures have been tightened at an unprecedented scale to ensure there is no untoward incident during the Republic Day celebrations.

AIUDF chief opposes call to separate Barak Valley

SILCHAR, Jan 16 (Agencies): All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) president and MP Badrauddin Ajmal has strongly opposed any attempt or agitation for separation of the Barak Valley from Assam in the wake of the absence of a large number of names of people from the Bengali-dominated area from the first draft of NRC. The Union Territory Demand Committee has organized a protest rally in Silchar on Tuesday in protest against deletion of names from the first draft and to demand Union Territory status for the Barak Valley. Ajmal made it clear that there should be no attempt to split Barak from Assam as it would hurt the state. The AIUDF chief said, “Assam has already been divided on numerous occasions which have weakened the glory of the state. Further bifurcation will give a blow to the spree of development. AIUDF shall continue to oppose the efforts meant to create division in the state in the name of a separate Barak Valley.”

launched,” he said. Without naming the BJP, Patel said that their divisive policies by imposing what one should eat what religion one should follow and also imposition on one’s culture would fragment the society.

“People of the state will reply to such infringement on the ethos. They will give proper answer during the elections,” the former Civil Aviation minister said.

Taking a dig at the National People’s Party, which was founded by one the founding members of the NCP – (late) Purno Agitok Sangma, Patel said, “NPP is a party which is an alliance at the national level and member of the NDA. There is thin line between the NCP and NPP.” He said the NPP, which is now headed by Sangma’s youngest son Conrad K. Sangma, “should give this clarification as to how close they are culturally and ethos or do they accept what the BJP says or do they not.

They should be very clear on that.”

Nine oil tankers set afire on AssamArunachal border

CPI-M writes to Election Commission Law and order has collapsed over Doval attending BJP poll meet in Tripura: Vijay Sampla

Guwahati, Jan 16 (IANS): Suspected Naga militants set afire nine tankers loaded with crude oil in the remote Namsik area on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border on Tuesday evening.

The tankers were moving from Kharsang in Arunachal Pradesh to Digboi in Assam when they were set on fire near Jagun.

Senior police and Army and Assam Rifles personnel rushed to the area, where security has since been beefed up.

“Nine oil tankers were set on fire. We suspect that National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) militants are behind the incident since the anti-talks faction has a strong presence in the area along the interstate border,” a senior police official said.

Tinsukia district in eastern Assam bordering Arunachal Pradesh has been witnessing militant activities in the recent past.

While the anti-talk faction of Ulfa militants had killed a Bharatiya Janata Party leader and his son in the district after suspecting them to be spying for the Army, the Ulfa last month abducted a businessman’s son who was later released.

People watching buffalo fight on the first day of Magh in Assam. suffering to animals.

At Ahatguri in Morigaon district of central Assam, a 20,000-strong crowd enjoyed at least 30 pairs of bulls pitching against each other. Ahatguri organizes one of the largest traditional buffalo fights in the state on the first day of Magh.

Like last year, the registered committees that used to organize the buffalo fights this time also stayed away from holding the events. The buffalo owners and buffalo keepers organized the fights at their individual levels without any permission

The bench also asked the CBI director to monitor the progress in the investigation and posted the matter for further hearing on March 12.

The apex court had earlier said it appeared that matters related to the probe into alleged fake encounters in Manipur were not being taken up seriously by the SIT. The top court had on July 14 last year set up an SIT comprising five CBI officers and ordered registration of FIRs and probe into the alleged extra-judicial killings in Manipur.

The apex court, which is hearing a PIL seeking probe into 1,528 alleged extra-judicial killings, had in July last year ordered registration of an FIR in 81 cases.

These cases include 32 probed by a Commission of Enquiry, 32 cases investigated by judicial enquiries and high courts, 11 cases in which compensation has been awarded by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and six cases probed by a commission headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Santosh Hegde.

said, “We have always been an ally of the Congress in Maharashtra and in the central government but as we speak we do not have any alliance with the Congress at any level.”

“But that does not mean likeminded parties from secularism point of view cannot work together in future but in Meghalaya I made it clear that NCP is on its own and we will chart our own course depending on what we think is best for the state,” he asserted.

Voicing confidence that there is a lot of changes which are likely to take place in Meghalaya, Patel hit out at the ruling Congress-led Meghalaya United Alliance government, which the NCP is a part it, for its “mis-governance” in the last five years.

“Other political parties are trying to create their own space on various issues; however the current state government has failed miserably to provide good governance. There have been many complaints about the schemes they have

New Delhi/Agartala, Jan 16 (IANS): The Tripura unit of CPI-M on Tuesday wrote to Election Commission (EC), asking for an investigation and action over the reports of NSA Ajit Doval attending a BJP meeting in the national capital, pertaining to assembly elections in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland.

Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Tripura State Committee Secretary Bijan Dhar, in his letter to EC termed National Security Advisor Doval’s involvement in a BJP-RSS meet at Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s house as “blatant misuse

from the district administration.

Also buffalo fights were organized by owners and keepers at Deobali where over 5000 people watched 20 pairs of buffalos locking their horns and also at Baidyabori—all in Morigaon.

“This is the day when we can’t keep ourselves without holding buffalo fights. This is the tradition which has passed down generation after generation.

So we cannot do away with it,” a buffalo owner who brought his bull for the duel

of administration by the ruling party at the Centre for garnering political mileage in the elections”.

Refer ring to news items appearing in a local daily as well as in national media on Sunday, Dhar wrote: “Central BJP leaders including Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP in-charge of North East Ram Madhav and senior RSS leader Krishna Gopal had met at the residence of Rajnath Singh and, according to the reports, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval was also present in that meeting.”

“The report says the meeting was convened purely on political purpose,

that is, to evolve electoral strategy of the BJP in the forthcoming assembly elections in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland.

“Presence of any person holding very important position like that of National Security Advisor is not only undesirable and objectionable, it is a glaring instance of blatant misuse of administration by the ruling party at the Centre for garnering political mileage in the elections,” Dhar wrote.

Dhar asked the EC to “to order an appropriate investigation into the matter and take stern legal measures” if the report is found true.

Man shot at by Myanmar army in Mizoram Aizawl, Jan 16 (PTI): A 67-year-old man suffered bullet injuries after Myanmarese Army personnel, who reportedly mistook him for an insurgent, shot at him twice on Friday evening in southern Mizoram’s Lawngtlai district, a police report has said.

Monondo and his wife Banati, members of the Bru community, were collecting medicinal herb – locally known as nchiri’ – along the border area when the Myanmarese Army personnel shot at them, Lawngtlai SP Lalsanglura said.

“The shooting stopped after Banati screamed aloud and said they were Indian citizens, not insurgents,” he said, adding

Despite SC ban, traditional buffalo fights continue in Assam

GUWAHATI, Jan 16 (Agencies): Defying the Supreme Court ban, traditional buffalo fight called Moh Juj was organised in different parts of Assam on the first day of Magh on Monday, even as the administration looked the other way.

The apex court in 2014 in a case of Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) vs A Nagaraja and others passed an order banning all animal races and fights. It directed the AWBI and the government to prevent infliction of unnecessary pain and

New Delhi, Jan 16 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday came down heavily on the CBI’s SIT, probing alleged extra-judicial killings and fake encounters by the Army, Assam Rifles and police in insurgency-hit Manipur, for not registering the required number of FIRs as directed by it earlier.

The apex court directed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to lodge 30 more FIRs on or before January 31 this year, after the SIT informed it that it has registered 12 FIRs till date.

A bench comprising justices Madan B Lokur and U U Lalit directed the probe team to complete by February 28 this year, its investigation into 12 cases lodged by them and file the final reports before the concerned court.

The bench, which perused the first status report filed by the SIT, posed searching questions to it.

The bench asked as to why all the FIRs have not been registered yet despite its July 14 order last year.

It directed that all the subsequent status reports, to be filed before it by the SIT, should have the approval of the CBI director.

at Ahatguri said, without divulging his name.

Morigaon superintendent of police Swapnanil Deka said that the administration was prompt in taking action in places where buffalo fights were held.

“Police closed down buffalo fight wherever we found such events were held without informing the administration. There was however, no untoward incident,” Deka said.

On the other hand, for the fourth year, the 16th century Hayagriba Madhav temple at Hajo, about 55 km from here, abstained from holding the traditional Bulbul (songbird) fight on the Magh Bihu day.

“The ban has saddened us, but we have to abide by the apex court order.

This year also we did not organize Bulbul fight. Last year we approached the state government if we can continue with our traditional Bulbul fight, but we did not succeed,” Ashwini Kumar Sarma, a member of Hayagriba Madhav management committee, said.

that the bullets hit Monondo on both the legs, breaking the bone of his right thigh.

The Myanmar troops then approached the couple and gave medicines, food and torchlight, Lalsanglura said.

“The local villagers carried Monondo on a bamboo stretcher to Lawngtlai District Hospital, where he is still undergoing treatment. Doctors treating him there have said that he should be referred to an Aizawl hospital after his condition stabilizes,” the SP said.

Police and Assam Rifles personnel, who rushed to the site soon after the incident, are carrying out investigations into the case, he added.

Curfew clamped in Kakching after protest turns violent

IMPHAL, Jan 16: An indefinite curfew was clamped in Manipur’s Kakching town since Monday night following a violent public protest after an 18-year-old youth was killed in road accident. The curfew has been imposed since 7.30 pm of Monday under sub-section (2) of Section 144 and will be effective until further orders in this regard.

Residents of the town at Kakching district headquarters resorted to violent protest like storming of police station after two youths were knocked down by a Swift Dzire car along National Highway 102 (Imphal-Moreh road).

One of the youths died on the spot while the other is struggling for life at a hospital in Imphal. The residents rose up against police failure to arrest the driver and occupants of the car. The irate residents tried to storm Kakching police station yesterday late night, demanding justice for the deceased and the police had to resort to firing tear gas shells and mock bombs to disperse the crowd.

Stating that the situation was volatile “because of the unlawful activities of some persons” and the situation is likely to cause serious breach of peace and disturbances of the public tranquility, Kakching district magistrate imposed the curfew. Movement of any person residing in the area within Kakching town area, outside their respective residences and also movement of any person residing outside the area has been prohibited.

Shillong, Jan 16: The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Tuesday decided to fight the upcoming assembly elections in three northeastern states – Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura –alone.

“We will be contesting in a large number of assembly seats in Meghalaya, in Nagaland we are going to contest but in fewer seats and in Tripura we are not going to contest except for a marginal token of seat (may be),” NCP General Secretary, Parful Patel told journalists here in Meghalaya.

In Meghalaya, he said that the party will field its candidates in 22 of the 24 assembly seats under Tura parliamentary constituency in Garo Hills region and around 20 seats of the 36 seats in the Khasi-Jaintia Hills region under Shillong parliamentary constituency.

The five-year term of the assemblies in Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura, with 60 seats each, would expire

on March 6, 13, and 14, respectively.

In fact, the NCP which has two legislators in Meghalaya is at lowest ebb after its two-time legislator Sanbor Shullai quit the party and joined the BJP, while Marthon Sangma has decided to contest the upcoming assembly polls on Congress ticket.

In 2013 Nagaland assembly elections, the NCP had won in four assembly seats and three of them had joined the BJP and the ruling Naga People’s Front.

Although, the NCP has decided not to stitch an alliance with the Congress party in the three poll-bound states, Patel, however, said that the party will be having some kind of “understanding with some of regional political parties” in Meghalaya.

“We will be clearer on this (understanding with some of regional political parties) as we approach the elections in the comings weeks,” the NCP leader said.

SC directive to Maha govt over documents on Loya’s death

Supreme Court

“Exchange the copy with them (petitioners). And we adjourn the matter for seven days.”

As Salve said that he had himself not seen the documents sent by Maharashtra government, the bench told him to go through the documents and if he finds some are sensitive, then he can hold them back.

Justice Mishra said, “Unless there is something, there should not be any confidentiality. Normally there should not be any objection in sharing the documents.”

Salve said that he has a spare copy which he can share with senior counsel Pallav Sisodia - appearing for the petitioner - but he should keep it to himself.

The death of Judge Loya has raised a storm as presiding over the special CBI court he held the trial in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh fake encounter case in which BJP president Amit Shah is one of the accused.

Shah was later discharged in the case.

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Maharashtra government to share all the documents relating to the death of Special CBI Judge B.H. Loya with the petitioners seeking independent probe and adjourned the matter for seven days.

Delhi Assembly panel to look into sealing drive

People had come to kill me, claims Pravin Togadia

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (IANS): A Special Committee of the Delhi Assembly will look into a sealing drive currently on in the city and allegations of corruption by BJP-led municipal corporations in the process, Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said here on Tuesday. Goel referred the matter to the existing nine-member committee headed by Aam Aadmi Party legislator Bhavna Gaur and asked it to submit a report in the next Assembly session. The sealing drive was discussed in the Assembly for most of the past two days with the ruling AAP and the opposition BJP blaming each other for the drive. The sealing drive is being carried out by a Supreme Court-appointed Monitoring Committee against business establishments using residential properties for commercial purposes, and it is being implemented by the three BJP-led municipal corporations in the national capital. The AAP MLAs alleged that businessmen were being “harassed” by the corporations and that there was “huge corruption” involved in the process.

GANDHINAGAR, JAN 16 (IANS): A day after he reappeared from his brief disappearance, Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s international working president Pravin Togadia on Tuesday expressed the possibility that he may be killed.

Togadia was found unconscious in a hospital in Shahibagh locality in Ahmedabad late on Monday after being reported missing in the day earlier.

“I am being targeted for a decade old case, there is an attempt to suppress my voice. Rajasthan Police team came to arrest me.

Someone told me the plan was to kill,” Togadia said at a press conference in Ahmedabad.

Togadia said Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria assured him on the day that there was no police action underway against him.

“They told me ‘they have not sent any police’ and that ‘if something like this would be happening we would have known it’...

When I realised the CM

Pravin Togadia and Home Minister are denying the police action, I switched off all my mobile phone so that my location could not be traced.... later I got to know that they (police) have come with an arrest warrant,” he said.

On Monday, Togadia was brought by people to a private Chandra Mani hospital in an unconscious state, which the doctors claimed was caused by low level of sugar.

Meanwhile, Ahmedabad Crime Branch said it constituted a special team to look for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader who went missing amid allegations that the Rajasthan Police took him away.

It was alleged that these people were just fronts for the minister and his companies and the sand mining contracts were picked up through benami means.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) were seeking the resignation of Rana Gurjit following the serious allegations of corruption against him.

AAP leader and Punjab’s Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira said on Tuesday that Rana Gurjit’s resignation was long overdue.

The Minister and his son were recently issued summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following allegations of money laundering abroad.

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (IANS): In connection with its ongoing probe into the 2006 IRCTC hotels maintenance contract case, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s son-in-law Rahul Yadav for questioning on Wednesday over a Rs 1 crore loan he had given to his mother-in-law Rabri Devi.

The ED wants to know the source of the money given to Rabri Devi, suspecting that it may have been used to buy a three-acre plot in Patna. The land worth Rs 45 crore was attached by the agency on December 8 in connection with the money laundering case against Lalu Prasad and his family members. “We have summoned Rahul Yadav tomorrow (Wednesday) for questioning over the loan given to Rabri Devi,” an ED official told IANS on Tuesday. “We want to know the source of the money... that was given as loan to Rabri Devi,” the official said.

Rahul Yadav married Lalu Prasad’s daughter Ragini Yadav in 2013. According to the agency of-

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (IANS): President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday called for a new regulatory system to enhance availability of doctors and medical professionals as work load of the existing doctors was incredibly high.

“Doctors need help in the form of more colleagues.

And this is where we need a new regulatory system to enhance availability of doctors and medical professionals in our society.

“In the absence of this, the work load on our doctors is very high,” said Kovind during his address at the 45th Convocation of the All India Institute of Medical Science here.

Stressing that currently the medical colleges in India, whether run by the government or private institutions, have only about 67,000 undergraduate seats and 31,000 postgraduate seats, Kovind said: “In a country of 1.3 billion people this is highly inadequate.

“We have to overcome regulatory bottlenecks and interest groups that have

President Ram Nath Kovind during the 45th Convocation of the All India Institute of Medical Science on Tuesday prevented the growth of quality medical education in our country.”

“This gives us far fewer medical graduates and postgraduates every year than our people need. It also leads to aspiring medical students seeking admission in colleges in other countries, simply because they have limited options at home.”

“This is simply not acceptable. As a nation, we

The officials suspect that the same money was used to buy the shares of Delight Marketing between 2010-11 and 2012-13. The ED is probing financial irregularities in the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Lalu Yadav, his son Tejashwi Yadav and other family members.

Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav for alleged irregularities in the allotment of contracts for two Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) hotels in Ranchi and Puri in 2006 to a private firm when the RJD chief was Railway Minister.

The contracts were given to Sujata Hotels, a company owned by Vijay and Vinay Kochhar, allegedly in lieu of bribe in the form of a plot of prime land in Bihar, the CBI said. According to the CBI, by 2014, Delight Marketing’s shares were taken over completely by Lalu Prasad’s family members for just Rs 64 lakh, against the circle rate of Rs 32.5 crore for the property and market value of Rs 94 crore. The company’s name was later changed to Lara Projects and then turned into a limited liability partnership firm.

need to address this situation very urgently. We need to create more opportunities for those young people who want to make medicine their calling,” said Kovind.

Urging doctors from AIIMS to give back to society, the President also said that doctors need to be legitimately rewarded for their academic excellence, their medical skills and their

expertise. “Yet, as doctors, their services must be available both to those who can afford their fees and also to those who are less fortunate and cannot. A disease does not distinguish between rich and poor but unfortunately the poor suffer the most.

“It is for society to profit from medical science -- it is not for medical science to profiteer from society,” said Kovind.

Ambitious investment

P

unglwa in Peren district where the Sainik School is also located, will become the hub of higher education if Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev and his close confidante and business partner Acharya Balkrishna (the CEO) fulfil the promise to set up five institutes. According to sources, the state government has allotted around 500 acres of land in the area as part of the deal. It is not known whether the state government would also have to chip in with its share of the project.

For the record, Patanjali CEO Acharya Balkrishna had recently announced sanction of Rs.100 crore towards setting up of the university which would comprise of the five institutes – Para Medical & Nursing College, Ayurvedic College, Management College and National Institute of Fashion Technology at Punglwa in Peren District and an Engineering College at Hovukhu. If fully implemented, the five institutes would certainly serve as beacons of higher education for Nagaland. The venture will also be the most significant ever from an outside investor. Baba Ramdev and his aide Acharya Balkrishna have watched their business empire grow from Rs.1500 crore to over Rs.10,000 crore.

They are now expecting the present turnover by 2018 to shoot up to Rs.20,000 crore. It is being speculated that Patanjali’s meteoric rise has been largely due to the big risks that Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna have taken. In a way, whatever opinion people may have about the duo, one thing is clear, they have taken big risks and that’s why they win big. Acharya Balkrishna the CEO of guru Baba Ramdev-run FMCG company Patanjali, is the eighth richest Indian, according to the Hurun India Rich List 2017. Balkrishna was born in Nepal and studied with Ramdev at a gurukul in Haryana. In 1995, both of them set up Divya Pharmacy. In 2006, they set up Patanjali Ayurved. The state government has been trying to get investors from outside to do business in Nagaland but there were no takers. Land is an important factor for projects for which the state government including the landowners need to take the call if business ventures are to be launched.

The other point that did not escape the attention of Baba Ramdev was the totally deplorable roads in Nagaland which he mentioned in his speech on Monday. Besides road, Nagaland also has very poor power situation with long hours of load shedding. Without proper supply of electricity no project or venture can be viable. The potential of the youths of the state in being groomed with specialised skills as would be provided by Patanjali institutes/university at Punglwa is welcome news.

The only issue is whether the proposed university at Punglwa can attract the right kind of lecturers and trainers. A state like Nagaland can take advantage of its latent potential of becoming a hub for education. However, the potential can only be realised if there is a greater understanding about the economic benefits. This will call for creating a conducive atmosphere where people will have to focus more about real economics than political rhetoric and imbibing a culture of discipline.

DailyDevotion The Voice of the Nature of God I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” —Isaiah 6:8 When we talk about the call of God, we often forget the most important thing, namely, the nature of Him who calls. There are many things calling each of us today. Some of these calls will be answered, and others will not even be heard. The call is the expression of the nature of the One who calls, and we can only recognize the call if that same nature is in us.

The call of God is the expression of God’s nature, not ours. God providentially weaves the threads of His call through our lives, and only we can distinguish them. It is the threading of God’s voice directly to us over a certain concern, and it is useless to seek another person’s opinion of it. Our dealings over the call of God should be kept exclusively between ourselves and Him. The call of God is not a reflection of my nature; my personal desires and temperament are of no consideration. As long as I dwell on my own qualities and traits and think about what I am suited for, I will never hear the call of God. But when God brings me into the right relationship with Himself, I will be in the same condition Isaiah was.

Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

here may be a grain of truth in the statement by US President Donald Trump that his country has “foolishly” given $33 billion in aid to Pakistan in the last 15 years. But he is wrong when he says that America has not got anything in return. Understandably, Pakistan could not repay in dollars. Nor did Washington expect that. But Pakistan offered bases in its country for the US to operate militarily.

President Trump is unnecessarily harsh when he says that his country got nothing in return except lies and deceit and also referred to leaders as fools. During the cold war when the world was divided into two blocs, Pakistan was on the side of America. Rawalpindi was a part of Central Treaty Organisation (CENTO), a least successful alliance made up of unlikely allies like Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey and the United Kingdom in 1955.

The purpose of CENTO was similar to that of the much better known— and far more successful— North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), mainly to contain the Soviet Union and prevent its expansion into the Middle

East. Treaty members had to agree to mutual cooperation and protection. But, perhaps most interestingly, given the then political situation many of these countries found themselves in, they also had to agree not to interfere in each other’s internal affairs.

As the group’s original name the Baghdad Pact suggests its first headquarters were in Baghdad. However, an Iraqi military coup in 1958 resulted in Iraq’s withdrawal from the group, which in turn resulted in a name change to CENTO and the headquarters shifted to Ankara, a less fundamentalist Turkey. The organization stayed out of the Six-Day and the Yom Kippur wars, although Iraq was an active belligerent in the former and provided combat support in the latter. However, it had pulled out of the organization at that time.

CENTO also did not intervene in the IndiaPakistan wars of 1965 or 1971, claiming that it was an anti-Soviet pact, not an anti-India one. The organisation was finally disbanded in 1979 after it was unable to prevent the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 or the Iranian Islamic revolution.

Justifiably, Pakistan

could not accept Trump’s tweet and it immediately reacted when Foreign Minister Khwaja M. Asif tweeted: “We will respond to President’s Trump’s tweet shortly Inshalla… will let the world know the truth…difference between facts and fiction.” Soon after, the Pakistan’s foreign ministry issued a stateKuldip ment, saying, “Pakistan rejects such unfounded accusations that belie facts on ground and trivialize Pakistan’s efforts for fighting terrorism and our unmatched sacrifices to promote peace and stability in the region.”

China, who had long been waiting in the wings, made most of the situation and stepped in to defend Pakistan by saying that the world community should acknowledge its allweather ally’s “outstanding contribution” to counter terrorism, a day after the US President lashed out at Islamabad for providing safe havens to militants.

China, showering praises on Pakistan, said that Islamabad has made enormous efforts and sacrifices for the fight against terrorism and has made very outstanding contribution to the global cause of counter terrorism. “The

international community should acknowledge that,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in Beijing when asked about Trump’s criticism of Pakistan. He also added that China was glad to see Pakistan engaging in international cooperation, including counter terrorism, on the basis of mutual Nayar respect so as to contribute to regional peace and stability.

“China and Pakistan are all-weather partners.

We stand ready to promote and deepen our all-round cooperation so as to bring benefits to the two sides,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman. It was expected because China is currently investing heavily in Pakistan as part of the $50 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) over which India has raised objections as it passes through Pakistanoccupied Kashmir. During the first ever trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan last week, Beijing had announced plans to extend the CPEC to Afghanistan which shares close ties with India.

H o w e ve r, f o r m e r President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai, has wel-

comed Trump’s outburst, while calling for establishing a joint US-regional coalition to pressure the Pakistani military establishment to bring peace to not just Afghanistan but the entire region. Afghanistan, too, had accused Pakistan of sheltering Taliban militants, leading to a long running spat between the two countries. China is seeking to mediate between the two neighbours through the trilateral mechanism.

Yet, the analysts point out that the US was mounting pressure on Pakistan as it has firmed up an alliance with Beijing by allowing heavy Chinese investments in the strategic CPEC corridor providing China access to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

But with common interests, it was natural for China and Pakistan and lately Afghanistan, to enhance communication and exchanges. After all, China believes that Pakistan and Afghanistan are closely linked geographically. Understandably, the three reached consensus on several issues, including enhancing cooperation on counter terrorism and fighting against terrorism in all forms and manifestations.

It was expected that India would welcome US

President’s tough message to Pakistan on terrorism.

“The Trump administration decision has abundantly vindicated India’s stand as far as terror is concerned, as far as the role of Pakistan is concerned in perpetrating terrorism because end of the day terrorist is a terrorist... terror is terror and it does not spare any single nation, any single country, any single region,” Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh said.

It is apparent that President Trump is unfolding a new American policy. This is far-right as compared to President Clinton’s left-ofthe-centre.

The old values are no longer relevant. And Donald Trump is taking Washington back to the conservative era. India may have to oppose the US President because its leftof-the-centre policy comes into conflict with what Trump is advocating.

Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether or not Pakistan can sustain itself without the US aid.

Islamabad has said that it is computing the total aid received from the US so as to return the amount. But it is obvious that Pakistan cannot.

Post-mortem Where have they gone?

B

y circumstances Nagas are Indian for now and thus I want to revisit one inspiring personality whom we called the Father of the Nation which we are all well aware.

Gandhiji was the towering leader of Indian independence movement with principle of non-violence. Gandhi first employed nonviolent civil disobedience in South Africa. In India, he organised peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination

by British. Gandhiji undertook the famous 400 km Dandi Salt march in 1930 in a show of protest against the British colonial rule in India.

Gandhiji was imprisoned for many years, on many occasions, in both South Africa and India. He lived modestly and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as a means of both self-purification and political protest.

Yet to be frank, Nagas don’t consider Gandhiji as ideal Hero since the sense of nationhood and solidarity of Nagas is completely different and has nothing to do with Indian freedom struggle.

The Nagas would have much respect for the Father of the Nation India had the Indian army not killed thousands of

‘O

innocent Nagas, burnt down our houses not only once but several time, defiled the modesty of our women and tortured thousands of Nagas for years. Since then the Nagas bitterly dislike Indian armies yet perhaps not Gandhiji. The incomparable beauty such as Truth, Non-violence, Patience, Perseverance, Simplicity, Loyalty, Peace, Compassionate, Love, are worth mentioning when we look at the principles and philosophies of Gandhiji.

By citing all these beautiful facts I do not have any motive to promote undue recognition as to how Indian got its independence but to have deeper understanding of how a true leader can give impact on changes in society.

Having said that, if there is any Naga who possesses the qualities of Gandhiji today, he can bring change. The principles of truth, simplicity, honesty, loyalty, sharing, respect, compassionate, love are the indispensable ingredients of a true leader. When we are not led by such leaders possessing those qualities with commitment, the people are bound to face disaster after disaster. I wish our leaders be it the aged or the youth realize how important to inculcate the characteristics of Gandhiji.

From the Heart: Walking the Naga Day

O

ur hope for Naga Day was for shared humanity and solidarity, even in the midst of stormy weather. Engagement in the Naga world requires us to imagine those predictably unpredictable storms that are inevitable during extraordinary times. These storms, however, do not define the times. The times are defined by transformative moments and small measures that are ignited by seemingly small acts.

The professionals managing the stage and sound system, the event management crew led by Theja Meru, the young volunteers from the Naga Students Federation and the Kohima Village Youth Organization willingly made substantive sacrifices for the success of Naga Day. Nagaland Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union supplied those in attendance with bottled water. The Public Health Engineering Department and the Kohima Police Department oversaw sanitation, traffic and security, the Music Task Force, Department of Information and Public Relations and the Kohima Municipal Council took the charge of its share of good will towards the Naga Day. Groups charged only half the cost of the equipment for the event, and a young entrepreneur’s words summed up the spirit of the day: “For the sake of our nation, I will donate what I have.”

FNR is humbled and our heartfelt gratitude goes unreserved.

Yes, lunch was cooked for 1500 persons by seven bodies defying harsh winter chills for the love of the Nagas. These were contributions

from their respective pocket books.

The Dreamz Unlimited, Naga choir members, musicians, and singers—a number of who are notable professionals with legitimate fees, performed for free. Dozens of speakers, readers, choreographers, and cultural troupes further contributed to Naga Day, in the process displaying a collective love and sacrifice for the Nagas.

The free-will financial contribution from individuals, churches, and “tribal” bodies, allowed the Naga Day to happen with ease. Nagas, young and old, reached out to us and to each other with excitement and hope. Angami Public Organization’s magnanimity towards the FNR and the Naga Day spoke of APO’s farsightedness beyond the here and now. What an honor we felt to be under APO as our host. N Pezie!

To all, thank you. Your kindness of what it means to be a Naga has undoubtedly helped deliver the Nagas to the extraordinary moment in our history.

Naga Day has announced that Nagas are without borders and that we are part of Naga history. Naga Day has made it clear that that our history is one of common belonging and does not belong to individual groups or destinies. Naga Day is not in the past, but it is alive and walking. Walking becomes a speech and, in this sense, walking the Naga Day is a cultural speech, a speech of the people.

With another lesson learned, I along with my colleagues in the

ne people one nation’. One nation in other word ‘Bharat’.

It is not even India. The RSSBJP is rapidly expanding its roots in every nook and corner of Bharat. Christian majority states like Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland are now their soft targets. Grabbing power is their shortest way to win over the people. In the forth coming States election, RSS-BJP will put its best effort to capture power. The face of Christianity in BJP government Shri. K.J. Alphons, Union Minister Tourism. The former Municipal Commissioner of erstwhile Bombay (Now Mumbai) noted for demolition of buildings in Bombay had gradually disappeared into oblivion.

For quite sometime RSS-BJP was desperately searching for Christian representative and in Alphons, they spotted a correct dart to shoot at the Christians.

In Meghalaya, Alphons is sparing all effort to pull down the government and install BJP alliance government and towards this objective, in the first week

of January 2018, he announced Rs. 70 crore Tourism package in Meghalaya largely to develop religious and spiritual circuits in Meghalaya The RSS-BJP are aware that currently they cannot do anything in Nagaland. No matter how much the Nagaland BJP is giving its effort, the Nagas are not so keen to join their bandwagon. But beware that the RSS-BJP are slowly creeping into the body of the Nagas through NPF party. The BJP will eat away the whole system of the Nagas through Nagaland People’s Front. The NPF claimed themselves as a Regional party (Not National party) but now they lost their regional identity as merged into the stream of national communal BJP party. Their charm as a formidable regional party with lots of tall promises to protect the distinct identity of the Nagas is a forgone conclusion. They cannot deceive the Nagas anymore. Now, the NPF survival line is only through RSS-BJP. The NPF married RSS-BJP for a 15 long years

and now they cannot divorce BJP because they know that they cannot live without matrimonial relationship with BJP. No matter how ugly BJP is, the NPF is in no mood to separate itself from communal BJP. 15 long years in power with BJP has not brought any change in Nagaland and its people but mis-governance, corruption and internal strife only for power and money. Prime Minister Modi unequivocal stand on corruption (25th September 2017) ‘....my battle against corruption is uncompromising. Anyone caught indulging in corruption will not be spared’.... is a strong message without teeth to bite. In Nagaland, under NPF-DAN’s rule, there is literally no development. Infrastructures are crumbling. The more people in power squandered public fund the more such corrupt people are considered as warriors. In spite of large-scale of corruption committed by NPF leaders, RSS-BJP behave as if they know nothing. For obvious reason no action will come

forth. Even Nagaland BJP is keeping mum because they are travelling in the same bus of corruption. The RSS-BJP think tank knows that corrupting the Naga people with money is the easiest route to Hindunised the Christian Nagas. They are delighted that the seeds which they have thrown in crores in Nagaland is producing positive result.

The NPF knows that they cannot survive without befriending with their life partner BJP and their precious money.

So when they go to Delhi they behave like a sheep and when they come back to Nagaland they put on their wolf skin again-acting like ferocious animal The RSS-BJP is aware that HINDUTVA mission in Nagaland cannot penetrate into the psyche and heart of the Nagas openly so they have come through the NPF party- INVASION THROUGH THE BACKDOOR. So beware Christian Nagas!.

R. P. Angami Kohima town

FNR will move on. On that day, 10 January 2018, there was a great Naga potential, where everyone converged around the idea of each other’s “relative rightness.” If Naga ecology can muster such energy around the idea of common belonging, can one fathom the resultant outcome?

No matter how one tries to project, a person or an organization turned inwards is never going to be healthy, not only for society but more so, for being itself. We cannot simply let others heal our own psychic hurts and pains.

In a small measure, the Naga Day will walk and make efforts to heal the communal wounds by healing our own individual wounds first. The primordial spirit of healing and belonging without borders will form the basis for the Nagas in this age if we are to survive and thrive as peoples with our neighbors. I implore all to think seriously about this before simply dismissing it.

The act of “not being together” lies not in drumming up personal constituents to shy away, but in selfnegation from the common belonging. Was the “Declaration” adopted and sanctioned by the congregation on the Naga Day a deterrence to the larger interest of the Nagas and our neighbors?

Finally, let us exorcise the culture of highlighting differences and flocking only with the birds of the same feather. Let us try to emphasize shared humanity and belonging instead. God’s Shalom.

Reader’s Post

At a loss for words

Sir,

Something I know is changed; it may be the world, it may be my heart. There is unreverseable change; for everything is the same and yet everything is different from what it once was. Thank you for the teachings, to see everything in a different light. I have been trying to change myself all these time without actually realizing only God can change me; and that God can never be there where even a semblance of pride remains. There is so much contentment in beginning to know this truth, and I cannot thank you enough for it. I am at a loss for words because in every sense of the word I am undeserving, and yet you have been so partially gracious to me. To be very true, everything in my life has been changed, altered, and I will be lying if I say that I am not afraid even as I remain so very grateful. Afraid, not of anybody, but of myself, my inadequacies and my infirmities, of me not being able to live up to expectations. Not that my integrity will ever be compromised or that there will be lack of effort. Thank you, Sweet Jesus, for everything that you have done in my life. Woe to me if I am to go against your will.

PM lays foundation stone SC crisis not settled: AG Little Moshe Holtzberg arrives in Mumbai, says he’s very happy of Barmer refinery project

Narendra Modi during the laying of foundation stone in Barmer, Tuesday.

CHANDIGARH, JAN 16 (IANS): Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Padmaavat” has been banned by Haryana’s BJP government.

The decision was taken on Tuesday at a meeting of the Haryana cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, here.

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij tweeted about the ban being imposed on the movie which is set to release nationwide on January 25. “Film Padmavati/Padmavat banned in Haryana,” Vij wrote on Twitter. Vij took up the issue regarding the impending release of the film and said that the Rajput community in the state was against the film.

On January 13, Coast Guard ships had recovered the bodies, most of which had disintegrated severely, and thus, the authorities were unable to ascertain if there were five or six bodies.

The Coast Guard confirmed that ONGC vessel Samudra Sevak had recovered a body of a missing crew of the crashed helicopter today.

The ONGC vessel had also managed to retrieve parts of the aircraft, including the rotor blades, main gearbox, tail gearbox, both the engines and the emergency locator transmitter (ELT), the Coast Guard said.

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (IANS): The CBI on Tuesday said it has filed a chargesheet against 95 people in the multi-crore-rupee Vyapam examination scam linked with the 2011 Pre Medical Test (PMT) case.

Those named in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) chargesheet include 83 candidates, four Vyapam officials and eight middlemen in a case relating to irregularities in Samvida Shala Shikshak Patrata Pariksha Varg-3 Examination in 2011 conducted by Vyapam.

The scam in Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (Vyapam) or Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board broke out in 2013 wherein candidates bribed officials and rigged exams by deploying imposters to write their papers.

The scam, which be-

gan in 1995, involves politicians, senior officials and businessmen.

The CBI took over investigation following a Supreme Court order on July 9, 2015. The chargesheet was connected to the PreMedical Test of 2011 -- one of several cases of irregularities in examinations conducted by Vyapam.

According to the CBI chargesheet, files from the hard disk of the computer of then Principal System Analyst Vyapam reveal that marks of certain candidates were allegedly increased to enable them to qualify the test.

“The same were verified with the OMR answer sheets of the candidates and it was found that marks of 84 candidates were increased, in the final result, to make them qualify the examination,” it said.

MUMBAI, JAN 16 (PTI): Moshe Holtzberg, who lost his parents in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, arrived here today for the first time since the tragedy struck the family over nine years ago and said he was happy to visit the city.

“Shalom...bahut khushi (I’m very happy),” said a shy Moshe, who arrived at the Mumbai airport shortly after 8 am.

The boy, who is now 11 years old, was accompanied by his grandfather Shimon Rosenberg, who said he will visit the Nariman House, where Moshe’s parents were killed in the terror attack in November 2008, and pray there.

“I feel very happy to come to India, to Nariman House where I am going to pray. I will say hi to the people of India. I feel very good in this country,” Rosenberg said.

Moshe was two years old when his parents - Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and Rivka - were killed during the siege at the Nariman House by 10 Pakistani ter-

Due to be completed by 2022, the project is expected to bring Rs 34,000 crore to the state government coffers annually.

He appreciated the efforts of Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje who initiated the process to turn this project into reality.

“We cannot mislead people by installing stones.

As in 2022 we complete 75 years of independence, we will ensure that our refinery starts functioning in the same year,” Modi said.

“By the end of this week the crisis is likely to be resolved,” he told PTI. Singh said that when he had handed over the SCBA resolution to the CJI on Sunday, he had got the impression that the crisis would be resolved. Singh said the CJI was hopeful that within a week things will return to normalcy.

In its emergency meeting on Saturday, the SCBA had passed a resolution asking the chief justice to convene a full court meeting of the apex court judges and transfer all pending PILs for hearing before the five senior-most judges who are members of the collegium.

Venugopal, the attorney general, also hoped that things will be sorted out in the next few days.

Asked whether he had a meeting or if he spoke with any of the four judges or the CJI, Venugopal said, “Nothing of that sort has happened”.

At the press conference, the four judges had flagged certain problems, including the assigning of cases by the CJI, and said there were certain issues afflicting the country’s highest court.

BA R M E R ( R A JA S THAN), JAN 16 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday laid the foundation stone of the Rs 43,129 crore big-ticket refinery project here and said it will change the economic landscape of Rajasthan.

“Rajasthan is taking the lead to become the energy power of the country,” Modi said while addressing the event.

The refinery, a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and Rajasthan government, will have the capacity to refine 90 lakh crude oil annually.

don’t want people to come and ask us that after installing the stone why you did not take action on implementing the same.”

The foundation stone laying ceremony had been performed four years ago by then Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Hitting out at the Congress on the issue of inaugurating the Rajasthan refinery twice, Vasundhara Raje said: “We don’t believe in installing stones, but we believe in working hard to build a building.

We work to turn our efforts into reality.”

Accusing the Congress government of not doing anything after the stone-laying ceremony, she said: “There was no planning, no seriousness and no projection of implementing this scheme. We are doing this with a lot of planning.”

The programme was also addressed by Pradhan who said the refinery will bring in lot of growth and development in the state.

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (PTI): The crisis in the Supreme Court over complaints against the chief justice seemed far from over despite optimism expressed a day earlier by top legal bodies, amid fresh hopes today of a resolution by the weekend.

“I think it (crisis) has not been settled. Lets hope things will be fully settled within 2-3 days”, Attorney General K K Venugopal told PTI today.

He had asserted yesterday that “everything has been settled” and described the crisis as a “storm in a tea cup.” The Bar Council of India had declared “kahani khatam (story is over)” in describing the crisis that erupted on Friday when four senior-most judges launched a virtual revolt against Chief Justice Dipak Misra.

At an unprecedented press conference, Justices J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph openly castigated the functioning of the top court headed by Misra.

Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Vikas Singh today said there was a likelihood of the crisis being resolved by the end of

As on March 2017, lenders had 7.67 per cent NPAs on their total portfolio of Rs 67,678 crore amounting to Rs 5,191crore. Chennaibased Indian Bank had the highest level of NPAs at Rs 671 crore.

This is the second time that SBI is selling a big chunk of its bad loans. In 2016, SBI had sold education loans worth Rs 847 crore, which were discounted more than 50 per cent, to Reliance Asset Reconstruction Company.

The government had stood by the bank’s decision stating that RBI guidelines permit banks to engage recovery agents for recovery of all loans. Sale of loans to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) are in line with RBI guidelines and was a part of bank’s strategy to reduce NPAs, it had said.

The reserve price for the loans with an outstanding of Rs 389 crore has been fixed at Rs 114.6 crore for those willing to pay outright cash. For asset reconstruction companies, who want to pay half in cash and half by of security receipts, the reserve price is Rs 152.80.

More and more companies are coming forward to file their annual returns and statements on the MCA21, it added.

All filings under the Companies Act are to be made through the MCA21 portal.

The minister emphasised that message should be sent out to company secretaries and directors of all companies to ensure that filings are made on time, which would also help prevent unnecessary litigation and prosecution.

Chaudhary said the ministry ensures that principles of good corporate governance are followed in letter and spirit and an atmosphere of trust prevails for the investors.

“Similarly, it is important to ensure that unscrupulous elements do not misuse the corporate governance channels to defraud innocent investors.

Nearly 2.26 lakh companies have already been deregistered and around 3.09 lakh directors associated with these entities have been disqualified.

The latest decision to strike off more 1.20 lakh companies from official records came after a review meeting of the actions taken with respect to deregistered firms last week.

Minister of State for Cor porate Affairs P P Chaudhary, who chaired the review meeting, has directed officials to expedite action against the companies that are to be struck off the records.

For various non-compliances, around 1,20,000 more companies have been identified for striking-off, the corporate affairs ministry said in a release.

‘Positive changes’ in N Korea: Xi tells Trump B EI J ING , J a n 1 6 (Agencies): Chinese president Xi Jinping told his US counterpart Donald Trump that there have been “positive changes” on the Korean peninsula, state media said Tuesday following a phone call between the two leaders.

Trump has pushed Xi to increase economic and political pressure on North Korea in the hopes of convincing it to stop the development of its nuclear weapons program.

Tensions have been high after the North staged a flurry of nuclear and missile tests and leader Kim Jong-Un traded threats of war and personal attacks with Trump.

But in recent weeks there has been an apparent rapprochement, with the two Koreas meeting for the first time in two years and Pyongyang agreeing to send athletes to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea.

In the phone call, Xi

Xi Jinping

“pointed out that the situation on the Korean peninsula has shown some positive changes,” according to the official Xinhua news service.

“All sides concerned should make joint efforts to keep up the hard-won momentum for the easing of the situation on the Korean peninsula and create conditions to restart talks,” he was quoted as saying.

The call comes as foreign ministers from 20 nations gathered in Vancouver to hold two-day crisis talks on North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs.

But the US, which

at the summit will review with its allies the effectiveness of current sanctions against the hermit kingdom and explore adding more, remains sceptical that Kim is ready to negotiate away his weapons program.

China has criticised the Vancouver talks -- hosted by the US and Canada and which exclude both Beijing and Moscow -- and called for sanctions discussions to remain within the United Nations framework.

During Xi’s phone call with Trump, he also urged the US president, who has taken a hard line against the trade imbalance between the two countries, to come to the table on economic issues.

“The two countries should adopt constructive means to properly settle economic and trade issue of mutual concern through opening up markets to each other and making the cake of cooperation bigger,” Xinhua quoted Xi as saying.

international Sharif dismisses as ‘flop’ charges against him ISLAMABAD, Jan 16 (Agencies): Pakistan’s ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif today compared the corruption cases against him to a ‘flop’ movie as he appeared before an accountability court trying him for graft in the Panama Papers scandal that forced him to resign.

The cases were launched on September 8 following the Supreme Court verdict of July 28 that disqualified Sharif as prime minister and ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for institution of cases against him.

Sharif, 68, arrived in the court - his 13th appearance - in Islamabad.

He was accompanied by daughter Maryam and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar, who are co-accused in one of three cases.

During the hearing, at least two more witnesses produced by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) recorded their statements.

Sharif ’s lawyer Khawaja Harris cross-examined the witnesses.

US military quietly prepares for last resort WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (Agencies): Across the military, officers and troops are quietly preparing for a war they hope will not come.

At Fort Bragg in North Carolina last month, a mix of 48 Apache gunships and Chinook cargo helicopters took off in an exercise that practiced moving troops and equipment under live artillery fire to assault targets.

Two days later, in the skies above Nevada, 119 soldiers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division parachuted out of C-17 military cargo planes under cover of darkness in an exercise that simulated a foreign invasion.

Next month, at Army posts across the United States, more than 1,000 reserve soldiers will practice how to set up mobilization centers that move military forces overseas in a hurry.

And beginning next month with the Winter Olympics in the South Korean town of Pyeongchang, the Pentagon plans to send more Special Operations troops to the Korean Peninsula, an initial

step toward what some officials said ultimately could be the formation of a Koreabased task force similar to the types that are fighting in Iraq and Syria. Others said the plan was strictly related to counterterrorism efforts.

In the world of the US military, where contingency planning is a mantra drummed into the psyche of every officer, the moves are ostensibly part of standard Defense Department training and troop rotations. But the scope and timing of the exercises suggest a renewed focus on getting the country’s military prepared for what could be on the horizon with North Korea.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Gen Joseph F Dunford Jr, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both argue forcefully for using diplomacy to address Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions. A war with North Korea, Mattis said in August, would be “catastrophic.” Still, about two dozen current and former Pentagon officials and senior commanders said in interviews that the exer-

cises largely reflected the military’s response to orders from Mattis and service chiefs to be ready for any possible military action on the Korean Peninsula.

President Donald Trump’s words have left senior military leaders and rank-and-file troops convinced that they need to accelerate their contingency planning.

In perhaps the most incendiary exchange, in a September speech at the United Nations, Trump vowed to “totally destroy North Korea” if it threatened the United States, and derided the rogue nation’s leader, Kim Jong Un, as “Rocket

Man.” In response, Kim said he would deploy the “highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history” against the United States.”

Trump’s rhetoric has since cooled after a fresh attempt at detente between Pyongyang and Seoul. In an interview last week with The Wall Street Journal, Trump was quoted as saying, “I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un,” despite their mutual public insults. But the president said Sunday that The Journal had misquoted him, and that he had actually said “I’d probably have” a good relationship if he wanted one.

Pope begs forgiveness from child abuse victims S a n t i ag o, Ja n 1 6 (Agencies): Pope Francis begged for forgiveness Tuesday for the “irreparable damage” done to children who were raped and molested by priests, opening his visit to Chile by diving head-first into a scandal that has greatly hurt the Catholic Church’s credibility here and cast a cloud over his visit.

Speaking to Chile’s president, lawmakers, judges and other authorities, Francis said he felt “bound to express my pain and shame” that some of Chile’s pastors had sexually abused children in their care. He was interrupted by applause from the dignitaries at La Moneda palace when he pronounced the words, reported Chicago Tribune.

“I am one with my brother bishops, for it is right to ask forgiveness and make every effort to support the victims, even as we commit ourselves to ensuring that such things do not happen again,” he said.

History’s first Latin American pope didn’t refer by name to Chile’s most notorious pedophile priest, the Rev. Fernando Karadima, who was sanctioned in 2011

Pak agencies foil terror plot; arrest 2 JuA terrorists

Lahore, Jan 16 (PTI): Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies have foiled an attack on a security check point in Lahore and arrested two Jamaat-ul-Ahrar terrorists, officials said Tuesday.

On a tip off provided by an intelligence agency, the Counter-Terrorism Department of Punjab Police raided a house in densely populated Harbanspura area and arrested Jamaat-ul- Ahrar’s Lahore chapter activists - Amjad Khan and Daood Khan.

According to a spokesperson of CTD, both suspects had planned to target a security check post in Lahore.

by the Vatican to a lifetime of “penance and prayer” for sexually molesting minors.

Nor did he refer to the fact that the emeritus archbishop of Santiago, a top papal adviser, has acknowledged he knew of complaints against Karadima but didn’t remove him from ministry.

Karadima had been a politically connected, charismatic and powerful priest who ministered to a wealthy Santiago community and produced dozens of priestly vocations and five bishops.

Victims went public with their accusations in 2010, after complaining for years to church authorities that Karadima would kiss and fondle them when they were teenagers.

Palestine issue top priority: Rouhani Tehran, Jan 16 (IANS): Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday said Palestine remains the most important issue for the Islamic world, media reports said.

After the collapse of the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria, the issue of Palestine has regained its importance for the Muslims, Xinhua quoted Rouhani as saying.

He made the statement during the opening ceremony of the 13th Session of the Parliamentary Union of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Tehran.

The current instability

Hassan Rouhani

and insecurity gripping the region stem from continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, he said.

Rouhani urged the Islamic states to unite for the creation of a “calm region and peaceful foreign relations” and said Iran views no country as its “competi-

tor” in the region.

“Some countries, however, are following the wrong path and seek to widen the rifts among Muslim nations under the US and Israel’s influence,” Rouhani said.

He criticised some Muslim states for what he called their dependence on foreign powers, saying “the experiences of modern history teach us that these powers solely think about their own interests”.

Iran believes it could even engage in negotiations and cooperation with the countries with which it has differences of opinion based on mutual respect, he added.

While the scandal rocked the church, many Chileans are still furious over Francis’ subsequent decision, in 2015, to appoint a Karadima protege as bishop of the southern city of Osorno. Bishop Juan Barros has denied knowing about Karadima’s abuse but many Chileans don’t believe him, and his appointment has badly split the diocese.

“Sex abuse is Pope Francis’ weakest spot in terms of his credibility,” said Massimo Faggioli, a Vatican expert and theology professor at Villanova University in Philadelphia. “It is surprising that the pope and his entourage don’t understand that they need to be more forthcoming on this issue.”

The Karadima scandal and a long cover-up has caused a crisis for the church in Chile, with a recent Latinbarometro survey saying the case was responsible for a significant drop in the number of Chileans who call themselves Catholic, as well as a fall in confidence in the church as an institution.

That distrust extends to Francis, who is making his first visit as pope to this country of 17 million people. The Argentine pope is nearly a native son, having studied in Chile during his Jesuit novitiate and he knows the country well, but Chileans give him the lowest approval rating among the 18 Latin American nations in the survey.

“People are leaving the church because they don’t find a protective space there,” said Juan Carlos Claret, spokesman for a group of church members in Osorno that has opposed Barros’ appointment as bishop. “The pastors are eating the flock.” People angry over Barros planned a protest for Tuesday, when Francis is scheduled to celebrate Mass in Santiago’s O’Higgins Park.

talks about ‘empowering’ moment Attitude towards married Daniel Radcliffe reacts to Johnny Depp sheMillieshaved her head for ‘Stranger Things’ actresses should change: Sonam ‘Fantastic Beasts’ casting backlash A

I

n the wake of sexual assault allegations against a slew of Hollywood stars in 2017, audiences worldwide have become understandably more stringent in who they want to watch on the big screen.

And when allegations were brought against Kevin Spacey, his role in All the Money in the World was swiftly recast, despite there being less than a month until the movie’s release date.

So when photos of Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald emerged, the

world was reminded of the domestic abuse claims Amber Heard made against Depp during divorce proceedings. J.K. Rowling fans called for the actor to be replaced, citing Spacey’s quick replacement as the perfect example.

However, Rowling defended the decision to keep Depp in the movie saying, “Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.”

Now, Daniel Radcliffe has weighed in on the controversial decision to stand

by Depp, but he’s a lot less forgiving than Rowling.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Radcliffe said: “I can see why people are frustrated with the response that they were given from that... I’m not saying anything that anybody hasn’t already said—and this is a weird analogy to draw — but in the NFL, there are lots of players arrested for smoking weed and there is other people’s behavior that goes way beyond that and it’s tolerated because they’re very famous players. I suppose the thing I was struck by was, we did have a guy who was reprimanded for weed on the original ‘Potter’ film, essentially, so obviously what Johnny has been accused of is much greater than that.”

(Harper’s Bazaar)

S

tranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown has opened up on how shaving her head for the Netflix proved to be the most “empowering” moment of her life.

T h e a c t r e s s, w h o plays telekinetic youngster Eleven, shared a video of the moment that she underwent the chop before filming began on the first season of the show.

“The day I shaved my head was the most empowering moment of my whole life. The last strand of hair cut off was the moment my

whole face was on show and I couldn’t hide behind my hair like I used to”, Bobby Brown captioned the post.

“As I looked in the mirror I realized I had one job to do. Inspire.”

O n ly d ay s b e f o r e sharing the video, the actress also declared that she “missed” the extreme hairstyle – and claimed that it had been responsible for helping her to look differently at traditional notions of beauty.

“I miss my shaved head”, she wrote.

“Shaving your head is so empowering. You don’t need hair to be beautiful.

You are beautiful with or without. I learnt that too x” Meanwhile, Bobby Brown’s next big role was announced last week after Stranger Things transformed her into an international star.

ctress Sonam Kapoor, caught amidst wedding rumours, says it is high time people change their attitude towards married actresses.

With the changing narratives and various age representations of women in Hindi cinema, in the last few years, the Indian cinegoers have been exposed to many stories that celebrate women. Actresses like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rani Mukerji are making their comeback this year after childbirth, and actress Anushka Sharma went right back to shooting her new film “Zero” after some days of travel.

There was also actress Surveen Chawla, who revealed her new relationship status only after two years of her marriage, stressing on how “being married does not make an actress less desirable”.

How does Sonam, who constantly tries to keep her personal life as private as possible, look at the whole change?

“I will start talking about it when the media will start asking the same questions to all the male actors in our industry -- about how they will take up their career after marriage, when will they make a comeback after the birth of their baby...

This whole attitude towards married actress should be changed,” Sonam told IANS in an interview.

Citing references from the past, she said: “Whether it is Nutan, Nargis, Waheeda Rehman, Sharmila Tagore, Dimple Kapadia, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor Khan -- they are all loved by our audience even after their marriage. So the mindset has been encouraged by a few filmmakers and media people.

“But hey, there are progressive and non-progressive minds in every business.

So as in our industry. We should keep working... the change will come.”

Sonam’s next big screen outing is “Pad Man”. She essays a special character who supports and encourages a man to grow in his mission.

The man on the mission in “Pad Man” is Akshay Kumar, who takes on a role inspired by a real life hero who devised a low-cost sanitary pad-making machine for women’s hygiene.

The Cranberries sales surge following death of singer Dolores O’Riordan

Mrs. & Mr. Saku Ao, Retd Dy. S.P

T

he Cranberries‘ music has experienced a big increase in sales following news of singer Dolores O’Riordan‘s death.

The Irish singer fronted the band from 1990 to 2003, when they went on hiatus.

She was a part of their later reunion in 2009.

O’Riordan’s death was announced on Monday (January 15), with a statement reading: “The lead singer with the Irish band The Cranberries was in London for a short recording session. No further details are available at this time.

Family members are devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

The Cranberries were one of the most successful alternative acts of the 1990s, selling over 40 million albums worldwide – with their most popular record, 1994’s ‘No Need to Argue’, shifting 17 million copies alone.

Now, according to reports, O’Riordan’s passing has sparked renewed interest. Overnight, the band’s albums flooded the Amazon chart – with the band’s final album with O’Riordan, last year’s ‘Something Else, seeing a boost of 913,350 percent.

Meanwhile, the Irish band’s biggest hits – includK Y M C

ing ‘Linger’, ‘Zombie’ and ‘Dreams’ – all ranked in the top 10 of the iTunes songs chart.

NME has approached representatives of both Apple Music and Spotify for data of any streaming increase.

On M o n d ay, O’Riordan’s bandmates paid tribute to the Irish singer on Twitter, writing: “We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged

Man United ease past Stoke City in EPL

Chris Smalling attempts to close down Stoke forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting during the opening minutes on Monday.

for the Jose Mourinhocoached side after City lost 3-4 to Liverpool on Sunday. After 23 games each, second-placed United trail City by 12 points. Liverpool and Chelsea have 47 points each but the former are third on a better goal difference.

Mourinho left Armenian winger Henrikh Mkhitaryan out of the squad amid reports that Arsenal were interested in him as part of a swap deal for Chile forward Sanchez, who is no longer a target for Manchester City, according to British media reports.

In the ninth minute,

United nosed ahead when skipper Valencia blasted cut inside on to his left foot to hammer into the far corner, well beyond the reach of visiting keeper Jack Butland.

Paul Lambert, Stoke’s new manager, watched from the stands, with the sacked Mark Hughes’ former assistant Eddie Niedzwiecki in charge of the team.

There was a passage of play when Stoke attacked but there was no real threat to home goalkeeper David De Gea. Seven minutes before the interval, United’s French winger Martial

made it 2-0 with a sweet first-time finish after being set up by Paul Pogba who was brilliant on the night.

On the cusp of halftime, Stoke’s Swiss attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri tested keeper De Gea with a low drive.

It was all United after the break but despite a flurry of chances, they could not extend their lead and arguably put the match to bed until the 72nd minute. Lukaku showed enough power to hold off his marker and shoot into the bottom corner after good work from Martial.

“Stoke bought players to play football, they were not afraid to play and they created us problems in the first half,” said Mourinho after the match.

Niedzwiecki said he was unclear whether he would remain at the club once former Norwich City and Aston Villa boss Lambert set up his own staff.

“Paul Lambert said a few words to the players in the hotel before the game but he showed me the respect, it was my team today. I enjoyed the experience but it has been incredibly difficult personally,” he said.

“I will find out my future in the next 48 hours.

I know how the game works.”

Injured Saha out, Karthik in for 3rd Test

Centurion, Jan 16 (Agencies): Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was Tuesday ruled out of the third and final Test against South Africa due to a hamstring injury and will be replaced

by Dinesh Karthik in the squad.

Saha, who is not part of the team playing the ongoing second Test here, picked up the injury while training on January 11.

The third and final Test of the series is scheduled to be held in Johannesburg from January 24.

The 32-year-old Karthik has played 23 Tests for India but his last fiveday appearance for the team was back in 2010 against Bangladesh. He has 51 catches and five stumpings to his credit.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 1 6 (Agencies): Chelsea are reported to have entered the race to sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.

Manchester City’s decision to end their pursuit of the Chile international appeared to put Manchester United in pole position to sign the forward, but Jose Mourinho now faces a battle with his former club. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte tried to sign the player when he was Juventus boss and the Italian would love the opportunity to get one over Mourinho in light of their recent war of words.

Unsurprisingly, Sanchez dominated Mourinho’s press conference following United’s 3-0 win over Stoke, but he remained coy when quizzed by the media. “I’m not confident, but also not unconfident, just relaxed with the feeling that he is an Arsenal player,” he said.

“With a feeling that he can stay there and also with the feeling that he can move. If he moves, I think we have a chance but I think most probably a player like him has other big clubs interested and who knows? I think Mr Wenger and Mr Gazidis are the ones that know really what is going to happen. I don’t know anything about it. Today I don’t have one single information.”

SA got the defence of their score to a good start when Kagiso Rabada bowled out Murali Vijay for just nine runs with a low bounce delivery that got an inside edge before crushing his leg stump to bring Pujara to the crease.

It was not long before India lost the second wicket as KL Rahul punched the ball straight to point from where Kashav Maharaj claimed a good catch from the bowling of Ngidi having scored only four.

Ngidi was enjoying the spell of his life and it was no surprise when he trapped Kohli for lbw having scored only five runs to deal India a heavy blow.

Before India went in to bat‚ South Africa was bowled out for 258 and with a lead of 286.

South Africa started the day on 90/2 and 118 runs ahead with De Villiers unbeaten on 50 off 78 and Dean Elgar on 36 off 78 but went on to be bowled out for 258 and an overall lead second innings lead of 286.

Brief scores: India 307 and 35 for 3 (Pujara 11*, Ngidi 2-14) trail South Africa 335 and 258 (de Villiers 80, Elgar 61, Shami 4-49, Bumrah 3-70) by 252 runs

Germany’s Tatjana Maria 6-1, 6-4 and will next play either 14th seed Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia or American Varvara Lepchenko.

“I cherish these moments. I love it here,” said the Russian, who returned from her drugs ban in April last year.

Fellow former world number one Kerber, who won the tournament in 2016, was also impressive in dismissing Anna-Lena Friedsam 6-0, 6-4.

“2017, I have said goodbye already, I am not looking back,” she said after a forgettable last season that saw her relinquish the number one spot and slide down the rankings. She is now on a 10-match win streak after a perfect early season.

Sixth seed Karolina Pliskova and eighth seed Caroline Garcia also progressed, in contrast to the other side of the draw that saw Venus Williams, Sloane Stephens and Coco Vandeweghe crash out on Monday. American woes continued with Madison Brengle sent packing by British ninth seed Johanna Konta.

Former world number one Pliskova was among those to move smoothly into the second round, with a steady 6-3, 6-4 win over Veronica Cepede Royg.
