KOHIMA, JAN 25 (NPN): Tribal Hohos, civil society groups and various political parties deliberated at length about the demand for ‘Solution Before Election’, under the aegis of the Core Committee of Nagaland Tribal Hohos and Civil Organisations (CCNTHCO) at Hotel Japfu. Major political parties like NPF, BJP and NPP did not attend the meeting except NPCC and NDPP. Speaking on the occasion, Naga Hoho president, P. Chuba Ozukum appealed to the participating organisations etc, to bury past hatred and egos and to have the courage to disallow ECI from conducting elections.

He alleged that “Indians want to divide Nagas” but if Nagas exhibit unity then, “Indian democracy will fail and they will be compelled to give solution”. He maintained that without solving the problem, Nagas cannot have a bright future. The Naga Hoho will submit another joint memorandum to PM through ECI although several organisations had done so individually for deferment of polls for a few months. Ozukum also

informed that Naga organisations in Delhi were active on the issue, meeting central officials and would also be launching poster campaign in Delhi on January 27.

ENPO vice president Kekongchim posed a question on what the next move would be, if solution could not be achieved despite the government of India agreeing to bring solution within three to six months.

Kekongchim opined that a practicable approach was needed since the government of India could take advantage if it was pushed for a solution.

He also opined that instead of forcing intending candidates to pull out, it would be better if candidates did not file nominations of their own volition, otherwise it could be a repeat of the ULB election fiasco last year. Further Kekongchim said if candidates went ahead in filing nominations with security protection, then it would be a repeat of 1998 situation again and also since there were hardly five days left before filing of nominations. Kekongchim opined that, had the issue been taken up two or three months earlier, then it would

have succeeded. He also said the ENPO demand for a separate state was different from the Naga political problem and that the demand would be resumed even after solution.

NTC advisor Z. Lohe opined that unity among all Nagas would give the impetus for the solution.

Lohe also challenged all saying that implementation of the January 25 resolution would prove whether Nagas will walk the talk. He asked the participants to not fear a repeat of 1998 as “we will make a difference this time.”

NMA advisor Rosemary Dzüvichu reiterated the Association’s stand that

election was secondary but solution was primary and most important. She assured all that NMA would be with them in their common quest.

NPCC president K. Therie said the Congress held solution as priority and would stand alongside all organisations and in consideration of the resolution of the NLA. Therie said there was no second option for all Naga tribe organisations and (L-R) Chingai Wangsa and Yoaknei receiving the awards. civil society groups to unite.

He however questioned whether BJP understood the Naga aspiration. Therie however added a note of caution about the situation worsening.

Abstain from filing nominations: Hohos

Core Committee of the apex tribal hohos of Nagaland has made a “fervent call” to all political parties to abstain from participating in the electioneering process and also from filing nominations.

A press release by Angami Public Organisation, convenor and advisor, Dr. Vilhusa Seleyi and Chakhesang Public Organisation, co-convenor and president, Kekhwengulo Lea, said the decision to issue this appeal was made in its first joint meeting held on January 24, at Commissioner’s Circuit House, Kohima.

They said that the members during the meeting also decided that it was the unified voice of the people of Nagaland that conduct of elections was “not felicitous” to the ongoing Naga Peace Talks for an acceptable solution.

Diphu, Jan 25: Member of Autonomous Council (MAC) Mukut Mahanta, who was elected to the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) from Deopani constituency, has rebuffed all allegations regarding his association with illegal coal mining group.

At a press meet, Mahanta denied all allegations made by a section of media about carrying out massive illegal coal mining in several areas of Karbi Anglong. “The electronic and print media has alleged that I am associated with illegal coal mining syndicate and actively carrying out mining and smuggling at Silonijan locality inside Nimbor reserve forest. However, this allegation is totally false and baseless,” said Mahanta. He also clarified that the voice call record which went viral in social media was not his.

“This has been done to ruin my political career. I have demanded the higher authority to investigate the whole issue and book the culprit,” he added.

Karbi Anglong district BJP president Raton Teron alleged that the illegal coal mining in the district was started by Congress government. After the BJP came into power in the district, the illegal coal mining in West Karbi Anglong was stopped, said Teron.

The press meet was also attended by Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council’s deputy chairman Ritesh Enghi, Raju Tisso, MAC Ramsing Timung and Prabhat Chandro Taro.

The President 39th Sanis A/C and Pangti Village Unit extend hearty congratulations to Shri. Elhio Odyuo CEC member for his elevation to the post of General Secretary (Central).

The President and his colleagues while appreciating the appointment, thank the President Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu and Chief Minister T.R. Zeliang for their concern towards the people of the constituency and the Wokha district in particular.

‘Padmaavat’ protests: Centre President Kovind calls for a ‘civic-minded’ society says law and order state subject NEW DELHI, JAN 25 (PTI/IANS): As protests against the screening of “Padmaavat” raged at several places, the Centre today made it clear that maintenance of law and order is the responsibility of state governments.

The states, which have witnessed violence, should d e p l oy R a p i d A c t i o n Force, which is trained to handle such mob protests, a senior Home Ministry official said. Maintenance of the law and order is the responsibility of the state governments and the central government has nothing to do with it except providing central forces, the official said requesting anonymity.

Armed wings of the state police should also be deployed wherever there are possibilities of mob violence or protests against the film, the official said.

Arterial roads were

Heavy police force deployed at Novelty Theatre in Lucknow where film Padmaavat was released on Thursday. (PTI) blocked, shops vandalised and bike rallies taken out today as protests against “Padmaavat” continued in parts of Rajasthan, where theatre owners refused to screen the film in view of the law and order situation.

Tension was palpable across cinema halls in Uttar Pradesh where the controversial film “Padmaavat” opened with armed policemen stationed at vantage points and fire tenders waiting in readiness in case of trouble.

NEW DELHI, JAN 25 (PTI): President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday called for a “civic-minded” society where one can disagree with views even which had a historical context without mocking the other person’s dignity, comments that come in the backdrop of escalating row and violence over Bollywood film Padmaavat.

In his first Republic Day-eve address to the nation, the President also said that institutions should be “disciplined and morally upright”, adding they are always “more important” than the individuals in office. The institutions should also respect their “fraternal relationship” with other institutions, he added.

Touching on other issues, Kovind said it is our “sacred obligation” to eliminate the curse of poverty in the shortest possible time.

“This is non-negotiable for the Republic.” “A civicminded nation is built by civic-minded neighbourhoods, whether in our cit-

Ram Nath Kovind ies or our villages. Where we respect the next-door person’s space, privacy and rights. Where we do not inconvenience our neighbours—while celebrating a festival or while resorting to a protest or on any other occasion. “Where one can disagree with another viewpoint—or even with a historical context—without mocking a fellow citizen’s dignity and personal space.

This is fraternity in action,” the President said. The comments come at a time when several parts of the country have witnessed stiff opposition over Padmaavat with some fringe groups al-

leging that the film distorts their history and defames Rajput queen Padmaavati.

The film hit the screens on Thursday amid tight security.

“A disciplined and morally upright nation is built by disciplined and morally upright institutions.

Institutions that respect their fraternal relationship with other institutions.

Institutions that maintain the integrity, discipline and limits of their functioning, without compromising on excellence. “Institutions that are always more important than the individuals located there. And institutions where the holders and members make every attempt to live up to the office they occupy as trustees of the people,” Kovind said.

In his speech, the President highlighted the struggle of millions of people led by Mahatma Gandhi in getting independence of the country which was followed by efforts by them in writing the Constitution for the country. “This

was a period of constant striving—of dedication, determination and commitment to improving our country. And setting right the aberrations of our society,” he said and drew a parallel with today’s time saying, “today, we are at a similar juncture. We have achieved a lot as a nation, but much remains to be done. We need to work on this in the spirit of the generation that gave us our Republic.” He said the country cannot be satisfied without meeting the basic needs and essential dignity of our less well-off people.

“I refer to those from a less privileged socio-economic background, from the weaker communities and from families that still live at the edge of poverty. It is our sacred obligation to eliminate the curse of poverty in the shortest possible time. This is non-negotiable for the Republic,” he emphasised.

Observing that the “promise of a developed India beckons us”, Kovind

said this is the new stage of our nation building project on which we have embarked. “This is the Republic that our young people need to take forward and enhance—in keeping with their vision, their ambition and their ideals. And their vision, ambition and ideals.”

Calling for renewal of spirit of philanthropy, he asked people to collate their privileges and entitlements and then look at less-privileged members of a similar background, those who are starting off from where they once started.

The India-Singapore

relationship was elevated to that of a Strategic Partnership during Modi’s visit to that city state in 2015.

There are five areas of cooperation to enhance bilateral relations - referred to as 5S Plank - which direct the relationship: scaling up trade and investment; speeding up connectivity; smart cities and urban rejuvenation; skill development; and state focus.

Singapore is India’s second largest trading partner among the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asia Nations (Asean).

After the two sides signed the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement in 2005, bilateral trade touched $16.7 billion in 2016-17, according to the External Affairs

Ministry.

Earlier on Thursday, Modi also held a bilateral with Thailand Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

Lee arrived here on Wednesday to attend the Commemorative Summit to mark 25 years of the India-Asean Dialogue Partnership to be held later on Thursday.

Heads of state and government of all 10 Asean nations will be attending the Summit.

The Asean comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

JAMMU, JAN 25 (IANS): The BSF on Thursday lodged a strong protest with Pakistan Rangers against sniping from the Pakistani side that killed two Indian troopers. Officials of the Border Security Force (BSF) formally lodged the protest during a flag meeting on the international border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Suchetgarh sector.

The meeting between sector commanders of the Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers was held following a request from the Pakistani side.

Informed sources said the BSF strongly objected to the acts of snipping of two

BSF troopers by Pakistan and unprovoked firing and shelling to target a number of Indian villages, innocent civilians and their properties. “The BSF conveyed a strong protest with an equally strong message that such provocative acts are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” an official said.

The Indian and Pakistan delegations were headed

by P.S. Dhiman, Deputy Inspector General of BSF, and Brigadier Amjad Hussain of Chenab Rangers.

This was the first flag meeting of the sector commanders this year. The last meeting was held on September 29 last year.

Oily inflation

or the first time since August 2014, the price of petrol and diesel in India touched an all-time high where petrol rose to a whopping Rs 80.25 per litre and diesel to Rs 67.30 per litre in Mumbai and Rs 72.38 per litre for petrol and Rs 63.30 for diesel in Delhi. These are the prices according to the latest figures posted on the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation(ONGC) website at 6 am on January 23. Quite surprisingly there has been no howl of protest from the opposition, unlike during the period of Congress-led UPA government, when the BJP and Left not only protested but also agitated both within and outside parliament to corner the government. During the UPA government, price of crude oil skyrocketed to $107.46 per barrel in 2011 and the price of petrol was Rs.70.66 per litre and diesel was Rs.45.28 per litre. When crude prices further shot up to its highest in 2012 to $109.45 per barrel, the price of petrol was Rs.73.53 and diesel was Rs.52.63 per litre. When the BJP came to power in 2014, the price of crude sank to $96.29 per barrel, the price of petrol marginally went down to Rs.68.86 per litre but the price of diesel rose to Rs.57.91 per litre above the 2014 price.

Subsequently prices of crude began sliding down to almost half, at $49.49 per barrel in 2015 but in contrast, the price of petrol rose to Rs.74.78 per litre and diesel marginally rose to Rs.58.37 per litre. In 2016 when price of crude oil again came down to $40.68 per barrel, the price of petrol rose to Rs.71 per litre and diesel to Rs.60 per litre. Similarly price of crude in 2017 slightly rose to $51.64 per barrel and price of petrol went down to Rs.71 per litre and diesel to Rs.61 per litre. By 2018 January the price of crude oil rose slightly to $65 per barrel and the price of petrol rose to Rs.71.39 per litre the highest in three years and diesel to Rs.62.06 per litre. What has seemingly annoyed a lot of Indians is the rate at which the Central government has constantly hiked the excise duty on petrol and diesel since it took office. On April 1, 2014, the excise duty on unbranded petrol was Rs 9.48 per litre. Now, its Rs 19.48, and only a few months back it was Rs 21.48. For diesel, it was Rs 3.56 per litre, and now it’s Rs 17.33. As noted earlier, high diesel and petrol prices have a cascading effect on prices of essential commodities like vegetables and fruits, which have to be transported over vast distances via road or rail, and vehicles require fuel. The current government’s justification is that the additional revenue generated after levying excise duty is distributed to the state governments and used for delivering a host of welfare schemes.

It’s an argument that is falling on deaf ears because it’s hurting ordinary citizens where it hurts most, their pockets. Having said that, there are no easy answers to these questions, and governments have to tread carefully both politically and financially.

DailyDevotion Leave Room for God When it pleased God… —Galatians 1:15 As servants of God, we must learn to make room for Him— to give God “elbow room.” We plan and figure and predict that this or that will happen, but we forget to make room for God to come in as He chooses. Would we be surprised if God came into our meeting or into our preaching in a way we had never expected Him to come?

Do not look for God to come in a particular way, but do look for Him. The way to make room for Him is to expect Him to come, but not in a certain way. No matter how well we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that He may break in at any minute. We tend to overlook this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way.

Suddenly—God meets our life “…when it pleased God….”

Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point. Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.

Private vehicles for election duty!

ith the upcoming election fever creating such chaos and suspense, private vehicles owners are now gripped with fear of their vehicles being seized for election duty by the State Government, and news have been circulated in social medias about the locations where such vehicles have been seized. I had my own doubts on the mentioned subject, which made me search for answers from various sources available and I want to share some of it below: The State Government has been entitled for requisitioning of premises, vehicles, etc. for election purposes under Section 160 of The Representation of the People Act, 1951, wherein it states that: “that Government may by order in writing requisition such premises, or such vehicle, vessel or animal, as the case may be, and may make such further orders as may appear to it to be necessary or expedient in connection with the requisitioning: Provided that no vehicle, vessel or animal which is being lawfully used by a candidate or his agent for any purpose connected with the election of such candidate shall be requisitioned under this sub-section until the completion of the poll at such election.”

Section 160 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 has given a right

to the State Government to requisition a vehicle in connection with an election so to be held within the State butit is also states that the requisition shall be effected by an order in writing and to the person deemed by the State Government to be the owner and/or the possession of the property in question. It is also specifically stated that such order shall be served in the prescribed manner on the person to whom it is addressed.

But in Nagaland, how far are we complying with it and how far are the owners of the property in question are aware of the procedures?

I have heard of vehicles being seized from certain points of the road and for this I would like to quote from Anirban Ghosh vs Dist. Election Officer on 8 April, 2010, where it is stated “28. I have noticed above that in each case the cars were requisitioned on the road taking advantage of the authority which a police personnel wields. Cars were stopped. The drivers and/ or the person driving the car was forced to part with his driving licence in all cases.

In some cases the registration certificate and in some cases the tax token was taken possession of and the order of requisition was made over whereas section 160 sub- section (2) of the Act specifically provides “such order shall be served in the prescribed manner on the person to

N

whom it is addressed”. The Executive obviously if not take recourse to the manner laid down in Rule 98(supra) for service of an order under section 160 of the Act. Only a highwayman can be expected to conduct himself in this fashion. This is not expected from the Executive of a Welfare State.”………..

Therefore, in our considered opinion, it appears to us that it is true that the authorities have power to requisition premises or a vehicle for election purposes. But at the same time, they have to be cautious and following the rule as prescribed for requisitioned of such vehicles or premises they have to act within the four corners of the said Section.

More detail is mentioned in The Representation of the People Act, 1951.

Lastly, I am wondering when we have commercial vehicles associations, who the government can contact for requisition of vehicles for election duty (which may be more than sufficient), why do they still find it comfortable to seize private vehicles.

I hope some appropriate bodies, organization(s)or person(s)in the concern matter enlighten the public on the mentioned issue and make the public aware of its rights and responsibilities, so that we are not left with confusion.

ow that the Election Bugle has sounded, there is tension and dread amongst the Common Man; and rightly so, because their vehicles may be requisitioned any moment for the forthcoming elections.

But there is nothing much that can be done about it because any vehicle can be requisitioned any time for any election conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI). That is the rule! However, it is heart wrenching for the common man, many of whom have saved hard or got advances/loans to buy their vehicles for personal use.

While not undermining the ECI, and by extension the Election Department of Nagaland and its perfectly legal position of requisitioning vehicles, some thoughts on the subject, and its possible concessions and available options, crop up. Nagaland, the GOVERNMENT-VEHICLE CAPITAL of the world, probably has enough government vehicles to cater to the election needs of the entire state.

Of course, some government vehicles (not all) attached to a few offices such as Police, Civil Administration, etc. cannot be requisitioned due to election related reasons. However, the vast majority can, and SHOULD BE REQUISITIONED. It is well known to every individual in Nagaland that most of the higher level officers, many of whom should not even be entitled to a vehicle in this WELFARE STATE (elected members perpetually with begging bowls in Delhi), have two/three or more government vehicles illegally at their disposal. The elected members too have as many, or more government vehicles. These are besides any number of private vehicles of their own; definitely not purchased out of clean, hard earned money. Nagaland is one of the most corrupt states of India today, where extensive manipulation and open loot is the norm. Result? Retarded Growth! As if that were not enough, there have been rampant purchases of

expensive vehicles, in thousand-fold excess of requirements for the corrupt, manipulative, and inefficient people manning the system. I do not mean to generalise because we do know there are some (very few) honest and deserving officers with a single vehicle who are quietly doing their bit to help change the rotten system. Most of these vehicles are also harshly and uncaringly misused along the river courses we used to know as roads a couple of decades back, because the government also foots the bills for their expensive maintenance.

Then we have the abnormally large fleet of licensed commercial vehicles (one wonders what the world record, in terms of ratio, is?), which have also added to our traffic woes. Most have suddenly disappeared from the scene to evade election duty, resulting in abnormal hike in fares along certain routes. We also have a large number of non-licensed taxis doing roaring business in parts of Nagaland.

The commercial and government vehicles should first be requisitioned for the forthcoming elections, instead of collaring the common man. If the requirement still exists, then the common man would definitely comply, without much complaint. If the commercial vehicles have gone into hiding, what’s the big deal? The RTO’s should have all their contact details. Any pretentions of being in workshops for major repairs during election time should lead to prosecutions. That is also the rule! All government/autonomous departments have details of all vehicles attached to their Ministers, Advisors, Chairmen, Parliamentary Secretaries, Administrative and Technical heads, staff, etc. Try that out, it should not be difficult!

Please spare the common man!

Give him some respite, particularly during elections, IF POSSIBLE, from all the crap that has been unfairly dumped on him over the decades.

Speech of Rh. Raising, convener of Steering Committee, NSCN

W

e Nagas have been looking for a kind of political agreement with the governments of India and Burma that can protect our land and sovereign right, our identity and history, our culture and the Church and above all, our future from their political, military and cultural imperialism.

History says that when the Nagas tried to solve the problem through political dialogue, the past Indian leadership created war situation in Nagalim; when the Nagas viewed the conflict from the perspective of Indo-­Naga political issue, the Indian leadership deliberately construed it as a domestic problem of India; when the Nagas submitted numerous political Memorandums to the Government of India for peaceful resolution of the problem, the Indian leadership read them as appeals for redressing their grievances; when the Naga international support groups including UNO spoke out on violations of human rights in Nagalim, the Indian leadership misconstrued it as an interference in their

(Joint council meeting on January 25 at CHQ, Hebron)

internal affairs and turned a deaf ear to their voices; when the long-­drawn Indo­Naga political issue had cost the Nagas and the Indians many thousands of lives, the Indian leadership and their Naga collaborators made money out of it; when the Naga people prayed without ceasing for a durable political solution in the land, the Indian leaders trusted more in the mantra of trickery and divide and rule policy. In fact, the Indian leadership had done all these deliberately.

It is a horrible mistake!

The issue should be viewed from the right perspective.

The Nagas are not asking for a piece of land from India or others, they have been living in their own land from time immemorial. The Nagas simply say they will decide their future by themselves. They are not asking for devolution of power from India or Burma. They are also a sovereign people by right.

The problem began the day Indian and Burmese aggression started. Our is a case of aggression. When the resistance movement of the Nagas created an opportunity for dialogue the

Indian leaders exploited this opportunity to their advantage and made the so­called 16-­point agreement with a few un-­mandated individual Nagas. It was nothing but a political bait to hook the Naga issue. The Shillong Accord was also another attempt to murder the issue of the Nagas.

Both the agreements are roadblocks not solution the Nagas have been looking for. Even after decades of oppressions, persecutions, imprisonment, destruction of villages and crops perpetrated against the Nagas and killing hundreds of thousands Nagas or pouring blood-­tainted money for tinsel development works, the Indian leaders could neither stop the Nagas nor convince them. Fighting and killing did not bring any dividend to them. So as dictated by the circumstances GoI changed its approach from military to political and embarked upon political dialogue with the Nagas.

After prolonged negotiations the historic Framework Agreement was officially signed between the Government of India and NSCN as two enti-

ties on 3rd August 2015, which recognizes the sovereign right of the Nagas, the unique history and identity of the Nagas and land of the Nagas. Taking the security of India and the political and historical rights of the Nagas into account the two parties officially agreed that India and Nagas will co-­exist as two entities and share sovereign power between the two entities. Now the question arises what is to be done if and when GoI does not keep the agreement and goes back upon its word?

Our past leaders said most of the Indian leaders have names in insincerity and trickery. If the big and strong animal cannot be killed with one bullet the hunter uses double bullets or more. If it cannot be killed with a small gun he uses a bigger gun. Likewise, it demands of the Nagas to give bigger efforts, to work out bigger policies and strategies, to create bigger minds and hearts, to build up bigger faith, to say bigger prayers and to take bigger and stronger determination and decision for the problem. In deed, the war-­r idden Naga people

of the Nagas whereas election is about India; solution is about the land of the Nagas whereas election means it is about Indian territory; solution is about the principle of self-‑reliance whereas election is about dependence on others; solution means Naga people will be the epicenter of Naga politics whereas election means Delhi will be the high command of the Naga politics.

Let us therefore, decide whether we choose solution or election; whether we choose freedom or slavery. We are the prime factor. Our decision will take us to the top of the world or pull us down to the bottom. We have nothing to fear or dismay; our people are with us; all civil societies are with us; all the churches are with us, all the elected MLAs and MPs are with us; international communities are with us and above all, God, the Creator of nations and kingdoms is with us. Only that let us be firm and cling to the principle.

The Lord in whom we trust has brought us thus far and He will lead us through to the end. Kuknalim!

Elect who is well-qualified

which we conclude respects the “Unique history and situation” Sir, of the Nagas.

To be employee need to be graduate but to contest in election 2. The GOI should thereneed no qualifications, so at that very point of view,I would like fore move forward positively and realistically to resolve the to share especially to all the youth. This time, let’s elect who has Indo –Naga issue based on the well qualified. Tomorrow, they will be the government to build our 3rd August 2015 Framework state and young future for the betterment of tomorrow but if they Agreement as the Naga people don’t have the quality to form the government then how can they concludes that the final solu- know the burden of unemployment youth who has more qualition based on this agreement fied then the government (candidate),if we elect the well qualified will be the only honorable and who has potential then he must try to end up especially backdoor acceptable solution for both the appointment ,because even in backdoor appointment most of entities. Any solution less than them are not qualified, out of experience, unable to perform at their work but the well qualified persons are tirelessly searching this will be disastrous.

Phom, Chakesang Walford colony, Dimapur N. A. Kasar (Retd) Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

Most respected Prime Minister, The Nagas were fully confident that the Government of India (GOI) will surely respect their aspiration by listening to their cries for deferment of the state assembly election in favor of the decades old Naga political solution which is now in the final state. But to our utter surprise GOI announced on 18 January 2018 the election date of the 13th Nagaland assembly election to be held on 27 February 2018 leaving the solution behind the back burner. This kind of desperate disregard, disrespect and indifferent attitude towards the deep sentiments of the Naga people by the GOI is highly regrettable.

The Nagas will, however, leave no stone unturned to achieve their birth right for self-determination and to live as people with honor and that no power on earth can shake this magna carta of the Nagas for which we would like to place on record the following most important points to be noted by the GOI. They are:1. After 18 years of negotiation between the GOI and the Nagas the realistic step taken was the signing of the Framework Agreement on 3rd August 2015. This historic agreement should be the basis of an honorable and acceptable solution for both India and the Nagas. This historic agreement

have been longing for an early solution to the long drawn Indo-­Naga conflict, and that is legitimate. But the focal point is whether it is an early solution or late solution it does not matter, what matters is -­ it must bring the complete set of what belongs to the Nagas.

Nagas thirst for genuine solution that can protect their future. Any kind of solution that betrays the future of the Nagas is no solution. We cannot place our future to be decided by others. We must decide our future by ourselves and that is where NSCN stands. We will cling to the ‘Framework Agreement’ and stand by that in all weathers. We will keep going with it even if there are oppositions. We will keep looking at the Creator of kingdoms with unwavering faith. Our survival strategy is in our firm stand and the power of prayer.

What do we mean by solution, not election?

Election is anti-­thesis of solution. Solution is about the future of the Nagas whereas election is about the Indian constitution; solution is about the unique history, culture and identity

From “Organic Nagaland”, Abokali Jimomi in her address shared her experiences in context with Nagaland and said the state lacked proper management, infrastructure and technical knowledge. She

Jimomi compared the food processing in the state as in the pre-school and said all the stakeholders should able to compete in the market to go higher level.

Sharing the difficulties faced by the farmers in the state, she said they could not do everything like producing, food processing, transporting, packaging and marketing by themselves alone. She reminded

LIC Mutual Fund chief marketing officer Rajesh Patwardhan noted that the the current financial year has seen a surge of 56 per cent in mutual funds through SIP investments.

“Mutual Fund SIP is gaining recognition among the investors as it encourages investing in a disciplined manner without worrying about market volatility and timing the market,” Patwardhan said.

“We believe that while SIP is a better route to invest in equity, daily SIP will further help in beating the market volatility and benefit our investors from rupee cost averaging,” he added.

Mumbai, Jan 25 (PTI): LIC Mutual Fund Thursday said it has introduced a daily SIP scheme, a move which will help it achieve 30 per cent growth in its SIP portfolio.

Under the plan, LIC MF is offering investors the option to invest in SIPs (systematic investment plans) with as low as Rs 300 per day which would be available in five equity schemes.

These are LIC MF Equity Fund, LIC MF Growth Fund, LIC MF Midcap Fund, LIC MF Infrastructure Fund and LIC MF Index Fund. Investors can also put in daily SIPs in two hybrid schemes, LIC MF Balanced Fund and LIC MF Monthly Income Plan.

The fund house which clocks an SIP inflow of around Rs 23 crore every month expects the number to go up to Rs 30 crore (30 per cent growth) following the rise in daily inflow.

Based on it, Lotha said there was no reason why JD(U) would not follow the footsteps of its late leader.

Lotha Hoho representative Jonas Yanthan remarked that while everyone talked about solution none knew what it was and whether it would be honourable and acceptable to all Nagas. He lamented that Naga society was so confused about the solution while the government of India alone cannot give solution. He said Naga groups have to decide on a solution but unfortunately they were so divided with no efforts made to bring them together.

Yanthan also spoke boldly about the lack of moral principles among Nagas, as money always came before principles. He said this was evident in the “Naga freedom struggle” which had become a “lucrative business”. He said those who shouted for solution were in reality, not ready

This capital infusion is a whopping 47 per cent of the bank’s tier 1 capital as of September 30, 2017. Indian Bank did not receive any capital in this round because of its better performance.

“We view the bank’s capitalisation as adequate and better than that of most of its peers,” the rating agency said. The capital injected into large banks such as SBI and Bank of Baroda, which already have a relatively better capital position, should help them to accelerate growth.

The government also announced a reform agenda with this capital infusion plan. It said the recapitalisation would be dependent on performance and reforms.

It can be noted that the RBI has shifted the stance to being neutral from accommodative once it started seeing risks on both sides.

The MPC is scheduled to meet for a bimonthly review of the policy in February before the April review.

The brokerage said there are “fundamental reasons” which suggest that inflation is not going up, which also include the excess capacity at present which affects pricing and also the possibility of a weak La Nina weather pattern which will dampen food prices in the second half of 2018.

It said that fears of inflation getting “generalised” are also overdone, as only two sub-categories of fuel and light and housing (accounting for 22 per cent of the basket) have seen a price-rise above the headline 5.2 per cent. While the fuel is due to the crude prices rally, it said the crude prices will come-off by USD 10 to USD 62 per barrel by December 2018.

The capital infusion is part of the massive Rs 2.11 lakh crore bank recapitalisation plan announced by the government in October last year. It is spread over two fiscal, 2017-18 and 2018-19.

The finance ministry will raise Rs 80,000 crore through recapitalisation bonds and provide another Rs 8,139 crore from the budget to recapitalise the banks.

In the current round, IDBI Bank got the biggest capital injection at Rs 10,610 crore. The bank has a huge amount of bad debt and dipped into its capital conservation buffer (CCB) last year.

“This injection should help IDBI Bank to meet its regulatory requirement and clean up its balance sheet significantly. It may also be credit positive for the bank, depending on how it

Mumbai, Jan 25 (PTI): Inflation risks are “overdone” and the Reserve Bank will cut rates by 0.25 per cent in the April review of the monetary policy, a foreign brokerage has said Thursday. Even as the headline inflation climbed to 5.2 per cent in December, it is within the range of 2-6 per cent, set for the central bank as per the inflation targeting framework, analysts at Bank of America Merill Lynch said in a note.

The ‘core inflation’ excluding fuel and the house rent allowance remains at a benign 4.2 per cent, it said, adding that it expects the headline number to cool down to 5 per cent for January. “We expect the RBI monetary policy committee (MPC) to look through the jump in inflation to 5.4 per cent in April-June, that is spooking some in the markets, as it emanates from the base effects of low 2.2 per cent April-June 2017 inflation,” it said.

Mumbai, Jan 25 (PTI): The latest infusion of capital in the state-run banks by the government is credit positive but lenders also need to improve efficiency and put better risk management practices, says a report.

On Wednesday, the government announced that it will infuse Rs 88,139 crore capital in 20 public sector banks before March 31 to boost lending and revive growth.

A report by S&P Global said the move will provide banks with much-needed capital to begin cleaning up their balance sheets aggressively.

The report said it believes the capital infusions alone won’t go far enough.

Trump, May talk up US-UK ties in Davos

President Donald Trump meets with British Prime Minister Theresa May at the World Economic Forum, Thursday in Davos. (AP/ PTI)

DAVOS, Jan 25 (Agencies): President Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May talked up the relationship between their two countries Thursday, amid reports that the ties between the two leaders have become strained in recent months.

The two leaders spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where they downplayed rumors that their relation-

ship had become frosty amid a number of high-profile controversies. Trump said he wanted to correct a “false rumor” that they were not getting along. “[May] and myself have had a really great relationship, although some people don’t necessarily believe that. But I can tell you it’s true,” Trump told reporters.

“I have a tremendous respect for the prime minister and the job she’s doing. And I

think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint of liking each other a lot.”

“We are very much joined at the hip when it comes to the military. We have the same ideas, the same ideals,” he said before turning to speak to May directly. “There’s nothing that would happen to you that we won’t be there to fight for you.”

May was similarly glowing in her praise of

what she called a “really special relationship between the U.K. and the United States.”

“In fact... stronger because we both face the same challenges across the world, and as you say, we’re working together to meet those challenges,” she said.

May was the first foreign leader to visit the Trump White House after Trump was inaugurated. Through the 2016 campaign, Trump had expressed continued support for a U.S.-U.K. trade agreement in the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.

But ties between the two countries became strained in the wake of Trump’s travel ban, which May criticized and which led British leftwing politicians such as Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and London Mayor Sadiq Khan to call for May to yank the offer of a Trump state visit to Britain made during her visit to Washington.

While May has rebuffed those calls, she has continued to express disagreement with a number of decisions by the Trump administration, particularly on the Iran nuclear deal and the decision to move the U.S. embassy in

Merkel’s bloc rules out immigration concessions BERLIN, Jan 25 (Agencies): Senior members of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative bloc stressed on Thursday they would not give ground to the Social Democrats (SPD) on immigration as the two parties prepare to launch make-or-break negotiations on forming a government.

The SPD voted by a whisker on Sunday to start coalition talks with the conservatives but many members are sceptical about a re-run of the “grand coalition” that has ruled Germany since 2013. The SPD got its worst election result in the postwar era in September and many fear a further fall in votes,

according to Reuters. Immigration will be one of the most controversial issues in the talks, with the conservatives keen to take a tough line to prevent further losses to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) while the SPD takes a more migrant-friendly approach.

Julia Kloeckner, deputy of Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU), said the benchmark of 180,000 to 220,000 refugees per year laid out in a coalition blueprint agreed between the parties after exploratory talks earlier this month was crucial. “We don’t want more immigration and certainly not uncontrolled immigration - the

Jusos must accept that,” said Kloeckner referring to the youth wing of the SPD that has railed against another grand coalition and criticised the benchmark as being equivalent to a migrant cap.

Dorothee Baer, deputy chair of Merkel’s Bavarian CSU allies, said her party could not give the SPD any concessions on family reunification for refugees, with all possible wiggle room for this exploited during exploratory talks.

She told broadcaster ARD the parties had already negotiated that issue, adding: “We won’t reopen issues that have already been negotiated.”

The coalition blue-

print said the parties would cap at 1,000 a month the number of people who will be allowed to join their family now living as refugees in Germany. But the SPD wants to add a “hardship provision” to that.

The SPD is meeting on Thursday to prepare for the coalition negotiations that are due to begin on Friday after four months of political deadlock since September’s election.

On her way into that meeting, senior SPD member Manuela Schwesig said: “We want to have good, detailed negotiations now. They need to be swift but we also need to take the time we need so something good comes out of it.”

Bangladesh prosecutors seek life for Zia

Dhaka, Jan 25 (Agencies): Bangladesh prosecutors Thursday demanded life imprisonment for opposition leader Khaleda Zia for corruption.

The two-time prime minister and head of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party could be banned from standing in a national election this year if she is convicted. Zia has said the case is politically motivated.

The trial of Zia and her son Tarique Rahman before a special anti-corruption court ended Thursday and a judge said a verdict would be given February 8.

in Rakhine state,” Richardson said.

Myanmar government spokesman Zaw Htay told CNN: “We are very sorry about Richardson’s resignation.” He denied accusations that Suu Kyi believed there was a concerted international effort against Myanmar.

More than 700,000 Muslim Rohingyas fled to neighbouring Bangladesh last year in the face of a military crackdown and widespread reports of military-backed mass rape, murder and the burning down of entire villages.

The UN and the US labelled the violence against the mainly Muslim Rohingyas as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing”.

Richardson said “the main reason I am resigning is that this advisory board is a

whitewash”.

The diplomat, who has supported Suu Kyi since she was put under house arrest by the Myanmar military junta, was “very upset” at the Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s attitude during a board meeting on January 22.

“In the advisor y board’s initial meeting with (Suu Kyi), I was taken aback by the vigour with which the media, the UN, human rights groups and in general the international community were disparaged,” he said.

“While it is important to recognize that the military still wields significant power and that they are primarily to blame for the recent exodus of refugees in the wake of (Rohingya militant group) ARSA attacks, the absence of (Suu Kyi’s) moral leadership on this critical issue is of great concern.” He also denounced the board’s apparent lack of sincerity towards the issue as well as Suu Kyi’s “furious response” to his suggestions regarding the two journalists who were detained while investigating the crisis in Rakhine state.

3 dead, scores injured as train derails in Italy Milan, Jan 25 (Agencies): At least three people were killed and 10 seriously injured when a packed regional train derailed today near Milan in northern Italy, emergency services said.

Hours after the crash, rescuers continued to search for passengers inside the wreckage. One of the carriages was lying across the track, bent almost at a right angle. About 100 other people sustained light injuries, Cristina Corbetta, an official with the regional emergency services in Milan, told Sky TG24. She said the incident happened at around 7 am near Segrate in Milan’s northeastern suburbs.

The cause was not immediately clear.

Many of the passengers were travelling to work in Italy’s economic capital, or were students.

It is the most serious rail accident in Italy since 23 people were killed in a high-speed head-on collision between two passenger trains in July 2016 in the southern Puglia region. The injured were evacuated on stretchers, with the more seriously hurt receiving first aid in a field near the accident.

Journalists watched from a field about 100 metres away from the site, where three helicopters arrived to rush the injured to hospital while another patrolled the area.

Halep scampered to the first set in 25 minutes and, after dropping the second set against the run of play, squandered two match points in the third before saving two from Kerber as she served for the match at 6-5. “I said if she come back I could do it. I had confidence in myself,” said Halep.

“I tried to be calm today. It was a rollercoaster, up and down. If you don’t give up you can win. I did it well.

I am proud of myself.”

There was little hint of the drama to come when Halep, whose Grand Slam best is twice runner-up at Roland Garros, flew out of the blocks and dropped just three points in taking a 5-0 lead before Kerber woke up.

The German broke back twice to 5-3, before Halep, scampering and retrieving everything the double Grand Slam champion

threw at her, regrouped and took Kerber’s next service game to seal the set in 25 minutes.

Halep was in front at 3-1 in the second but Kerber, who will get back into the top 10 after her run at Melbourne, would not give up and extended it to a decider.

The win sets up an intriguing final where a first Grand Slam title and the world number one ranking will be on the line for both Halep and Wozniacki, with the winner claiming both.

Wozniacki beat unseeded Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-6 (7/2) to book her place in the showpiece clash.

The final will be only the 17th time in Australian Open history that the number one and two seeds have met for the title -- both first and second seeds have won eight times each.

But Cilic, the sixth seed, proved a bridge too far in the semi-finals and the Croatian, a former winner of the US Open, will play Roger Federer or Chung Hyeon in the final.

Cilic breezed through the first set in little more than half an hour before Edmund required a medical time-out - those early physical struggles continued to hamper him throughout.

However, Edmund was fired up at 2-2 in the second set by an umpire’s call and forced a tie-break but, when Cilic persevered, it became an uphill struggle for the Brit.

A pinpoint backhand winner by Cilic put him 5-2 up in the third set, and teed him up to seal a spot in the final.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar (R) celebrates with teammate after dismissing South Africa’s batsman Dean Elgar. (AP/PTI)

Johannesburg, Jan 25 (Agencies): India reached 49/1 at stumps on the second day of the third and final Test at the Wanderers. The visitors lead South Africa by 42 runs with nine wickets remaining‚ including that of talismanic captain Virat Kohli.

India will resume on the third day as favourites on Friday morning with Murali Vijay (13) and KL Rahul (16) looking to improve on their promising partnership of 32 that came from 72 balls.

On the first day on Wednesday‚ eleven wickets fell on the day and ten more tumbled on Thursday as bowlers continued to

dominate the batsmen on this wild Bullring pitch that is difficult to bat on.

I n d i a b ow l e d o u t South Africa for 194 but their second innings did not start well because of the early dismissal of Parthiv Patel who departed for 16 when Aiden Markram claimed a flying catch at third slip from the bowling of Vernon Philander.

When the South African first innings ended in the third session with a slender lead of seven runs‚ Hashim Amla‚ who survived three close reviews‚ Vernon Philander and Kagiso Rabada where the pick of the batsmen with good contributions of 61‚ 35 and 30 respectively.

On the Indian side‚ Jasprit Bumrah claimed his first Test five wicket haul and ended with figures of 5/54 while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three scalps and Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma ended with one each.

Earlier in the day‚ nighwatchman Kagiso Rabada got a standing ovation from the small crowd when he walked off after he scored a defiant 30 off 83 runs to help South Africa to 81/3 at lunch. Before he departed‚ the first wicket to fall was opener Dean Elgar for four runs when he was bowled out by Kumar and caught by Patel.

In the second session‚ Proteas lost the vital wickets of AB de Villiers (5)‚ captain Faf du Plessis (8) and Quinton de Kock (8).

India made another breakthrough after tea w h e n H a r d i k Pa n dya caught the last recognised batsman in the South African line up in the form of Amla at deep mid-wicket having scored a brave 61 off 121.

Philander‚ who shared a partnership of 44 with Amla‚ soon followed after he scored a valuable 35 off 55 when he was caught by Bumrah at fine leg from the bowling of Shami trying to find the boundary. Bumrah continued to dominate with ball in hand as he cleaned up the South African tail with quick wickets of Andile Phehlukwayo and Lungi Ngidi.

Brief scores: India: 187 & 49/1 (Lokesh Rahul 16, Murali Vijay 13) lead South Africa 194 (Hashim Amla 61, Kagiso Rabada 30 Vernon Philander 35; Jasprit Bumrah 5/54 Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3/44) by 42 runs

Saina, Sindhu to clash in Indonesia Masters qtrs

Jakarta, Jan 25 (PTI): Saina Nehwal and P V Sindhu will meet in an allIndian quarterfinal clash after both won their respective preliminary matches at the USD 350,000 Indonesia Masters, adding another chapter to their new rivalry.

L o n d o n O ly m p i c s bronze-medallist Saina took 37 minutes to overcome World No.20 Chinese Chen Xiaoxin 21-12 21-18, while Sindhu stream- rolled Goh Jin Wei of Malaysia 21-12 21-9 in a one-sided contest.

P V Sindhu

Saina Nehwa

Young men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty too entered the quarterfinals after getting past Chinese Taipei’s Liao Min Chun and Su Ching Heng

21-17 21-16 in the second round.

Saina and Sindhu clashed twice in the international circuit so far with both winning once.

Today, Saina hardly

broke a sweat in the opening game as she didn’t allow the Chinese to come near her after grabbing an 8-3 lead early on.

In the second game, Saina once again moved to an 11-3 lead but this time Chen narrowed it down to 17-19 before the Indian closed out the match.

Olympic silver-medallist Sindhu, on the other hand, gave a lesson in badminton to Goh in a lopsided contest. She led right from the start and never allowed her opponent to recover.

Real Madrid out of Copa del Rey

Benzema and Leganes’ Unai Bustinza sprint down the flank to try and win the ball.

M a d r i d, J a n 2 5 (IANS): Leganes are headed for the Copa del Rey semi-finals for the first time in their history after upsetting mighty Real Madrid 2-1 in the second leg of the quarter-final tie here.

Though the aggregate was 2-2 after the Blancos won the first leg 1-0, their

suburban neighbours on Wednesday advanced by virtue of a 2-1 advantage in away goals, reports Efe. Real Madrid has never before lost a Copa tie in the Bernabeu after winning the first leg away.

While the Blancos showed little sense of urgency, the determined vis-

iting side pressed from the opening whistle and got their reward in the 31st minute when Javier Eraso stole the ball from Nacho and lobbed a shot from a distance that found the net to make it 1-0.

The hosts were better at the start of the second half and pulled level in the 47th minute on a goal by Karim Benzema, his first since November 25.

Eight minutes later, however, Gabriel got his head to an Eraso corner kick to bring the aggregate score to 2-2.

As the match entered the final 20 minutes, coach Zinedine Zidane turned to his bench, first by sending in Dani Carvajal and Luka Modric.

Minutes later, Zidane yanked Isco Alarcon in favour of Borja Mayoral, who grazed the post after taking a cross from Lucas Vazquez, who led Real Madrid’s desperate quest for a goal.

Leganes keeper Nereo Champagne sealed the upset by stopping a thunderous Sergio Ramos header.
