DIMAPUR, MAR 19 (NPN): Ruling People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) chief minister Neiphiu Rio formally launched the coalition’s 2019 parliamentary electoral campaign at the DDSC stadium here Tuesday. Launching the PDA campaign for the lone Lok Sabha seat for Nagaland PDA chief minister and star campaigner, Neiphiu Rio, hit out at the opposition NPF for “visionless policies and unstable leadership”. Rio took a jab at the NPF for failing to field its own candidate and added that the party was rather even ready to “borrow” a candidate. He claimed that NPF’s indecision was be-

NRMSATA-2016 demands 5-month pending salary DIMAPUR, MAR 19 (NPN): Nagaland RMSA Te a c h e r s A s s o c i a t i o n (NRMSATA) 2016 batch has appealed to the state government to release fivemonth pending salary. In a press release, NRMSATA-2016 finance secretary Amos Seb stated that despite several reminders to various affiliated departments for release of pending salary, there has been no positive response till date. The association expresses dismay that its request has been sidelined time and again. NRMSATA-2016 pointed out that the court directive dated on January 29, 2019 directly ordered the authority not to delay the salary of the teachers in the midst of the legal proceedings. It also stated that teachers were working diligently amid legal proceedings and patiently waiting when they would receive their hard earned dues. Without salary for more than five months, the association said each passing day has become a challenge to meet even the most basic needs.NRMSATA-2016 has, therefore, urged the responsible authority to closely examine, consider and take immediate necessary actions.

cause of infighting among its leaders; where some wanted to set up a party candidate while others were in favour of supporting the Congress candidate. Rio said the NPF has shown that despite having 26 MLAs it does not have a candidate for Lok Sabha since none of its MLAs or leaders were willing to contest. “Nobody wants NPF ticket. So their option is to distribute tickets on the roadside and field someone who will take their party ticket,” mocked Rio. Rio said it would be “disgraceful” for NPF which has 26 MLAs if they decide to support a candidate of another party (Congress) which does not have any MLA. He described NPF

party a “confused party” and urged people not to waste their time on NPF but instead re-elect PDA consensus candidate and sitting MP, Tokheho Yepthomi. Referring to PDA candidate Tokheho’s speech made earlier, that only the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre can settle the Naga political issue, the chief minister said “only a strong party like BJP with a strong leader, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi”, will be able to settle the decadelong issue. He pointed out that NDA-I under then Prime Minister, late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, recognized the “Uniqueness of Naga history”; while NDA-II under Modi signed the historic ,

No question of alliance with ruling NDPP: NPF

Correspondent

KOHIMA, MAR 19 (NPN): NPF president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu has clarified that the question of exploring possibilities with NDPP to form a coalition government in the State did not arise. He made this remark on the sidelines of NPF’s ticket distribution ceremony held at the party’s central office here on Tuesday. It may be recalled that 19 NPF legislators had on March 6 written to NPF Legislature Party leader TR Zeliang calling for working out “necessary modalities with the NDPP party leadership at the earliest” before the Lok Sabha polls. When asked about the progress and stand being taken by the party leadership, Liezietsu said “that chapter is closed”. Meanwhile, in his speech at the ticket distribution ceremony, Zeliang

said the contention of 19 MLAs writing him a letter to explore possibilities to form a coalition government with NDPP or other party was clear. He explained that the issue came up as some NDPP leaders had contacted NPF leaders for joining them, proposing that they resign and then re-contest in the election with an assurance that they would get elected. T h e r e f o r e, b e f o r e NDPP could break up the party, Zeliang said the 19 MLAs urged him to explore the possibility of forming an alliance through the front door. He, however, did not say whether the letter was considered. After the letter was widely circulated in social media, and reaction from NDPP, it was learnt that the MLAs left the issue to the party president and NPF-LP leader to work out the modalities.

Framework Agreement on August 3, 2015. On the issue of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 (CAB), Rio accused NPF of misleading the people. Instead, he questioned NPF as to why it boycotted the January 31, 2018 meeting of the tribal Hohos, civil society organizations and all political parties if it was serious about the issue?. He also questioned the vision of NPF leaders for choosing to walk out of the NLA session when a resolution was to be passed against the Bill. “What is their vision? How can they protect the Nagas and people of Nagaland when they keep running away?” asked Rio. The chief minister then said that whether CAB was passed in the parliament or not, PDA government was “very clear and firm that Article 371 (A) can protect the Nagas and people who are in Nagaland”. Exuding confidence that BJP-led NDA under the leadership of Narendra Modi would again form the government at the Centre, Rio called upon the people of Nagaland to continue to support the PDA government.

Dr. Shürhozelie calls for defeating ‘communal forces’ in Lok Sabha polls Correspondent

Pinaki Chandra Ghose

KOHIMA, MAR 19 (NPN): The contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) is likely to become a major issue in this ensuing Lok Sabha election. NPF president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu has warned that the future of Nagas would be imperilled if “communal forces” return to power as they would pass the CAB. Speaking at a ticket distribution ceremony for 26 Aonglenden Assembly Constituency (A/C) and outer Manipur Parliamentary constituency (PC) in Manipur held at the party’s headquarters here on Tuesday, he gave a clarion call to party workers to work hard for defeating the “communal forces”. NPF has fielded Toshipokba for the by-election to 26 Aonglenden A/C and Dr. Lorho S Pfoze from outer Manipur PC. He said both the byelection and Lok Sabha election were crucial for the party by stating that CAB was a real threat to the existence of indigenous people of the Northeast.

Liezietsu said if NPF committed any mistake, posterity would not forgive the party, adding that there were political parties and leaders supporting the communal forces that would bring danger to the region. The NPF president reminded that the PDA government had declared not to oppose the Bill but, seeing the public mood, backtracked and tried to cover up its blunder. He pointed out that NPF had made its position very clear that it was opposed to the Bill and that even the party’s Rajya Sabha member KG Kenye had stated publicly to oppose the Bill, if it was brought up in the House. Stating that party ticket was “an authorisation, a license” to legalise the status of a person concerned in the eyes of election laws and

a blessing from the party, Liezietsu insisted that the ticket should be valued by the candidates, while urging the electorate to ensure that NPF candidates get through the electoral process successfully. He said there were two candidates initially for Aonglenden AC– Toshipokba and Dr Wati Zulu, a doctor by profession. He, however, added that Wati gave way in favour of Toshipokba that, according to Liezietsu, was “a rare act of brave heart”. For Manipur Outer PC, he said NPF had decided to award ticket to Pfoze, who was also a doctor by profession, while appreciating Samuel Risom and BD Behring for displaying their “magnanimity” by agreeing to pull out from the race in the interest and welfare of the party.

NPP decides to field candidate for by-poll

NEW DELHI, MAR 19 (PTI): Former Supreme Court judge Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose was Tuesday appointed as the country’s first Lokpal, the anticorruption ombudsman, according to an official order. Fo r m e r S a s h a s t r a Seema Bal chief Archana Ramasundaram, ex-Maharashtra chief secretary Dinesh Kumar Jain, Mahender Singh and Indrajeet Prasad Gautam were appointed as non-judicial members of Lokpal. Justices Dilip B Bhosale, Pradip Kumar Mohanty, Abhilasha Kumari and Ajay Kumar Tripathi have been appointed as judicial members in the anticorruption ombudsman. These appointments were recommended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led selection committee.

ITANAGAR, MAR 19 (PTI): Congress will restore special category status to all states of the Northeast if voted to power at the Centre, party president Rahul Gandhi said Tuesday, reaching out to the electors of the region where it is a sensitive issue. He also accused the BJP of trying to destroy the social and cultural ethos of the people of the Northeast by imposing on them the “RSS ideology”. Addressing a Congress rally in the run up to the Lok Sabha and Arunachal Pradesh assembly polls to be held simultaneously, Gandhi sought to appeal to the regional sentiments, saying his party will never “attack the language, culture, customs and traditions” of the Northeastern states. “The people of the region are close to Congress’s heart. The Congress has always worked for the development of the region.

My party, if voted to power, will restore the special category status to Arunachal Pradesh and other states in the Northeast,” he told a well attended rally at Indira Park here. The Congress party’s last standing citadel in the Northeast fell in November last year when BJP ally Mizo National Front stormed to power in the state. There are some states which require special status because of their “unique problems and difficulties” such as connectivity, terrain and infrastructure, he said. Gandhi said these states had special status when the Congress helmed the central government. The Congress president called Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP’s slogan of “Congress mukt Bharat” an expression of “hatred” towards the main opposition party. “However, the Congress being a secular party

would not even want the BJP finished,” he said. Accusing the BJPled central government of imposing “RSS ideology” across the country, including the Northeast, Gandhi alleged ineligible people with Sangh family background were appointed as vice chancellors. Touching upon yet another sensitive issue of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, Gandhi said his party will never allow it to be passed by Parliament as it is detrimental to the people of the region. “We will not allow the suppression of the people of the Northeast,” he asserted. “After the NDA government came to power, the Planning Commission, which was set up for meticulously planned development, keeping in mind the special requirements of the region, was replaced with Niti Aayog.

DIMAPUR: Following Union Health Ministry directive, the state government has introduced Tetanus and adult diphtheria (Td) vaccine replacing tetanus toxoid (TT) by organizing programmes at Mokokchung and Zunheboto. According to Union Health Ministry, replacing the current vaccine with one which offers protection against both tetanus and diphtheria, would be more beneficial than using a tetanus toxoid vaccine alone. The TT booster dose is administered to children at ages 10 and 16 and a booster dose is given to pregnant women as well, which the Ministry replaced with the Td vac-

cine. In Mokokchung, the programme was held at Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital (IMDH) on March 19, DIPR reported. At the programme, joint director and State Immunization Officer, Directorate of H&FW, Dr Rito Thurr pointed out that since 1998, World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that TT should be replaced by Td vaccine. Td vaccine is a combination of Tetanus and diphtheria with lower concentration of diphtheria antigen (d) as recommended for older children and adults. The use of Td is rather recommended than

TT during pregnancy to protect against maternal and neonatal tetanus and diphtheria during prenatal care. The launching programme of Td was followed by felicitation of those departments who have actively supported during the Measles Rubella Vaccination Campaign (MRVC) from October 3 to November 29, 2018 in the district. Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Mokokchung, Dr. Chubala Aier in her keynote address thanked the district administration, department of Social Welfare, Education Department, Department of Information & Public Relations, All Nagaland Private School Association

(Mokokchung Unit) for their active participation during the MRVC. On behalf of the department of Health & Family Welfare, joint director (SIO) H&FW, Dr. Ritu Thurr gave away certificate of appreciation to all the departments and association. Similarly, the launching programme was also held in Zunheboto organized by District Health Society (DHs) on March 18 at ARTC centre, District Hospital, Zunheboto.

15 BJP legislators in Arunachal Join NPP

ITANAGAR/GUWAH AT I / Aga rtala , March 19 (IANS): In a setback to the BJP in Arunachal Pradesh, 15 of its leaders including two ministers and 12 other sitting legislators joined the National Peoples’ Party (NPP) on Tuesday. The mass desertion followed the Bharatiya Janata Party’s decision not to grant party ticket to state General Secretary Jarpum Gamlin, state Home Minister Kumar Waii and Tourism Minister Jarkar Gamlin and several other sitting legislators for the Assembly elections. The BJP’s Parliamentary Board had on Sunday released a list of 54 candidates for the polls to the 60-member-assembly, which are being held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls in the state on April 11. On Monday, Jarpum Gamlin dashed his resignation letter to BJP’s Arunachal President Tapir Gao. He was camping in Guwahati since Monday morning where Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma met him and other disgruntled leaders on Monday night. “Jarpum, Jarkar, Kumar Waii and the 12 sitting MLAs of the BJP met the NPP General Secretary Thomas Sangma on Tuesday and joined the NPP,” a senior NPP leader said in Guwahati, adding that the party is very hopeful that the inclusion of these leaders would strengthen the party. Meanwhile, the NPP has decided to field candidates in all the 25 Lok Sabha seats in the North East for the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. While the party has released its list of candidates for Meghalaya,

BJP leaders, including party Vice-President Subal Bhowmik join Congress in Tripura.

Gauhati HC bans blockades; agitators to pay for losses G U WA H AT I , M A R 19 (PTI): The Gauhati High Court Tuesday ruled against bandhs and blockades declaring them illegal and unconstitutional and ordered the creation of a fund to recover losses during such agitations from the organisers. Justice Ujjal Bhuyan passed the order while delivering the judgment on a writ petition filed by Lower Assam Inter-district Stage Carriage Bus Owner's Association. Justice Bhuyan also directed lodging of FIR against bandh and blockade organisers within 24 hours of their occurrence considering various judgments passed by the Supreme Court and different high courts on the issue. The investigating officers in all such cases would carry out the probe expeditiously and file charge sheets before the competent criminal court promptly so that the offenders can be tried in a fast track mode, the court ruled. The judgment said organisers of such blockades are liable to be prosecuted under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code 1860, National Highways Act 1956 and the Railways Act 1989. In addition those indulging in violence and intimidation like preventing people from attending their duties during such agitations will also have to be booked under the relevant penal provisions, it said. The petition against various state respondents and different organisations

had sought imposition of exemplary punishment for calling illegal and unconstitutional bandhs for a total of 51 days from August 28, 2012 to August 31, 2013 in Goalpara, Bongaigaon and Kamrup districts. Justice Bhuyan ordered that the home and political department of the Assam government make an assessment of losses caused to the state on account of the blockades which would be recovered from the organisers and their main office bearers as arrears of land revenue. A 'Bandh Loss Compensation Fund' should be constituted by the department within a period of three months. The fund would be maintained by a retired district and sessions judge along with one administrative officer, he said. The Fund authority will evolve its own procedure for quick settlement of claims lodged by an individual, public bodies and others against the agitators, the order said. The court also directed the Assam Police Accountability Commission to monitor filing of FIR and registration of cases. In case of any default or "non-seriousness" in complying with the guidelines, appropriate action may be taken by the Assam Police Accountability Commission in accordance with law, it added. The Commission will submit the monitoring report to the Registrar (Judicial), Gauhati High Court once every three months, the judgement said.

The Congress and the BJP are locked in a war of words while trying to win this crucial election.

“This man can do anything to win elections... People felt he could even go to war with Pakistan, which is not a good thing.... The personality of Modi ji that has emerged before the country is that he can go to any extent before and after elections...to win elections,” Gehlot said while attacking Modi and added that “none including Amit Shah know what is in his mind”. Taking a swipe at what he termed Modi’s “acting skills”, the senior Congress leader said, “If Modi ji was in Bollywood, maybe he would have left a different mark in the country and abroad, with his mastery in acting, oratory skills and antics.” Claiming that the “truth is on our side”, Gehlot said truth shall finally emerge victorious. He asserted that people in the country are far wiser as they can differentiate between falsehood and truth and public conscience will side with the truth, which is on their side.

ED attaches 13 assets EC meets representatives of of Hizb chief Salahuddin Internet firms for Lok Sabha polls

Syed Salahuddin (File) New Delhi, Mar 19 (AGENCIES): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday said it has attached over a dozen assets in Jammu and Kashmir in a terror-financing case against Pakistan-based terrorist and chief of the globally banned Hizbul Mujahideen, Syed Salahuddin. The central probe agency issued a provisional order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to attach 13 properties, worth Rs 1.22 crore, in the state. The ED said the properties belonged to Mohammad Shafi Shah, a resident of Bandipora, and six other residents of Jammu and Kashmir, who allegedly worked for the terror outfit. The agency said it filed a criminal case of money

laundering in this instance after taking cognisance of a National Investigating Agency (NIA) charge sheet filed against Salahuddin, Shah and others under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Action (UAPA) and other sections of the Indian Penal Code. “Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, the most active terror outfit in Kashmir, has been responsible for funding terrorist and secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir. “ H e a d e d b y S ye d Salahuddin, its self-styled commander based out of Rawalpindi in Pakistan, it funds terrorism on Indian soil through monies organised by a trust called JKART (Jammu and Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust) in alleged connivance with the ISI and other Pakistanbased entities,” the ED said in a statement. It said the probe found that “terror funds” were being sent to India through the hawala — illegal way of routing money by skirting banking channels, barter trade and human carriers. “The funds are illegally distributed to the next of kin of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, active and dead,” it said.

New Delhi, Mar 19 (IANS): Representatives of Internet companies, including social media platforms, on Tuesday had an inconclusive meeting with Election Commission officils on the use of social media for campaigning in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls while the Model Code of Conduct is in force. Sources said the poll panel has called another meeting on Wednesday. The two sides took up the misuse of social media during elections and precertification of political advertisements. They also discussed fake news and expenditure by political parties on online advertisements.

The Election Commission asked the tech companies to come up with mechanisms on their platforms for flagging model code violations and taking action within the given time-frame. Sources said representatives from Google told the poll panel that it can set up the system to check fake news within 24 hours. The meeting was attended by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sunil Arora, along with Election Commissioners Sushil Chandra and Ashok Lavasa. Among the tech companies, representatives of Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google, Sharechat and Tiktok were present.

After the meeting, Berges Y. Malu, Policy Head of ShareChat, said the company reaffirmed its commitment with the CEC. “We look forward to working with the Election Commission of India to uphold the integrity and legality of social media campaigns by political parties on our platform,” he said. The meeting comes after the Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change (CASC) sent a notice to the poll panel, urging it to act against the misuse of social media to influence voters. With the Election Commission on March 9 outlining stringent guidelines for social media usage during elections, political parties and candidates won’t be able to post unverified advertisements, photographs of defence personnel, hate speeches and fake news on their accounts. According to new guidelines, candidates are required to furnish details of their social media accounts at the time of filing nominations. Their activities on Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google would be under the Election Commission’s close scrutiny.

CBI terms 1984 riots as ‘crime against humanity’ Priyanka slams BJP over ‘70 yrs’ remark New Delhi, Mar 19 (AGENCIES): Terming the killing of Sikhs during the 1984 riots as a “crime against humanity”, the CBI has likened it with mass extermination of Jews by Nazis, mass killing of Bangladeshis by Pakistan Army and killing of Armenians by Kurds and Turks. “As such, this case has to be viewed in the larger context of mass crimes and requires a different approach than a case of normal murder/rioting,” CBI told the Supreme Court, opposing former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar’s bail plea. Kumar has challenged a Delhi High Court order convicting and sentencing him to life imprisonment for killing of five Sikhs in Raj Nagar Part-I area in Palam Colony in South West Delhi on November 1 and 2, 1984, and burning down a Gurudwara in Raj Nagar Part-II during the riots. Kumar,73, had surren-

dered before a Delhi court on December 31 to serve life imprisonment for the “remainder of his natural life”. Almost 3,000 people were killed, most of them in Delhi, in the anti-Sikh riots that broke out following the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984. “The brutal murder of innocent Sikhs during the 1984 riots fall under the category of crimes against humanity on parity with well known genocides worldwide like large scale killing of

Armenians by Kurds and Turks, mass extermination of Jews by Nazis, mass killing of Bangladeshi citizens by the sympathizess of Pakistani Army and mass killing during various ethnic riots within India also,” CBI told the top court in its affidavit filed last week. “In this case, the minority community was targeted by the spearheaded attacks of dominant political actors like the applicant/convict and duly facilitated by law enforcement agencies,” it said. The agency opposed Kumar’s bail plea saying he was a leader with “a large political clout” and “capable of influencing/ terrorising witnesses”. A fair trial in other 1984 riots cases pending against him would not be possible if he was released on bail, the agency submitted. The Supreme Court is

likely to take up the matter on March 25—a month after Justice Sanjiv Khanna recused himself from the hearing. The Supreme Court had on January 14 issued notice to the CBI on Kumar’s petition challenging the Delhi High Court’s verdict sentencing him to life imprisonment in a 1984 anti-sikh riots case. He has sought suspension of sentence and grant of bail pending final adjudication of his appeal. Bringing to justice the first-ever senior Congress functionary for his role in the 1984 Sikh carnage, the Delhi High Court had on December 17 last convicted former MP Sajjan Kumar for criminal conspiracy to murder five people of the minority community and sentenced him to imprisonment for the rest of his natural life.

Mirzapur, Mar 19 (IANS): Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday said that people compared her looks with her grandmother Indira Gandhi as they still remember the late Prime Minister with respect for the work she had done for them. She also countered the Bharatiya Janata Party’s allegations about elections as a picnic for the Gandhi family, saying that she has not been to Italy in last three to four years. As Gandhi, who was clad in a red sari, got out of her car, hundreds of BJP workers started shouting the slogans and continued even as she entered the temple to pray. Most of the people in the crowd were regular worshippers, who were stopped from entering the

New Delhi, Mar 19 (PTI): India may not see another election if Narendra Modi is re-elected as prime minister, Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot has claimed, suggesting that the country may go the way of China and Russia. Gehlot also said both democracy and the country were in danger under Modi, who he said would “do anything” to get back to power. People felt he could even go to war with Pakistan to achieve this goal, the Congress leader said. Dubbing Modi a “good actor”, Gehlot said he could do much better in Bollywood and would have left his indelible mark in acting. He also alleged that he was a “master in marketing false promises”. “If people re-elect Modi, then there is no surety on whether elections will be held in the country or not. ‘Chunav honge bhi, aur nahin bhi honge...jaise China, Russia mein hota hai’ (Elections will be held in the country and yet not

Electoral referendum

or all intents and purposes, the 2019 parliamentary elections in India will be centered around India’s ‘strongest’ yet divisive prime minister Narendra Modi when it turns into an election between Modi versus nobody. For the first time in three decades, India’s elections has become more presidential in character, centered on his persona. Modi’s consummate mastery of political communication and a superficial nod to democratic language has seen the paradigm shift of elections from Westminster type to presidential type. His total grip on the party and the government is unparalleled to the extent that he has become the BJP and vice versa. The Indian media can be credited with contributing to the dominant narrative in as many years as the BJP came to power. The reason is not difficult to fathom. Intellectuals or media challenging Hindutva or protesting state oppression and hate campaigns by extreme right wing radicals described by BJP as ‘fringe groups’ have been targeted and ‘tamed’. This has led to the Indian media obediently playing out “high decibel communications and consistent repetition of images” which have worked wonders for the prime minister. Similarly, television media have been controlled by granting new licenses only to channels that march to the government’s rabble-rousing tune on behalf of nationalism. Electronic media have been effectively turned into the ideological vanguard of the state. Modi’s remedies for the nation’s ills have proved to be symptomatic as he pursues a second term for more concentration of authority, more rigid control from above. He likes the imprimatur of democracy behind him and he derives his power from a sense of identification with the people. However, his governing sensibility is anything but democratic but it has been legitimised by a pliant media and the subservient public institutions. After handsomely winning the 2014 election, there has been a marked contradiction between Modi’s ‘inclusive’ rhetoric, and his deep political allegiances to Hindutva Nationalism. He deftly combined hope for the future, while mobilizing resentments over the past and could spin dreams of a new economic prosperity, while emboldening his Hindutva base. He rewrote the rules of Indian politics and was ever on campaign mode both at home and abroad. Modi does not believe in the kind of democracy with liberal values but does believe in the power of the elected government. He has brought that sensibility to economic governance as well. In some cases, this power has served him well. Modi was a natural saviour in the eyes of the people who were fed up with the media hype over corruption during the UPA regime though the Congress was more sinned against than sinning. Modi will face the 2019 election without any serious challenger since those who secretly dream of becoming prime minister are regional leaders with localised vision. Even Rahul Gandhi, who has been propelled to limelight by a doting mother, has proved to non-serious contender. Rahul has reached his limitations and his lack of experience in political statecraft is beginning to show and has disappointed those who were inclined towards a non-BJP alternative. Rahul is up against Modi, a deep rooted political veteran with decades of experience who rose from the grass root to become three-time Gujarat chief minister (2001-2014) and now seeking to retain the prime ministership. All the issues-failure to keep his 2014 promises, rise in right wing extremism and cow vigilantism, job loses, destruction of public institutions, widening economic disparity etc- will be buried as the Indian media pitches Modi versus nobody in the forthcoming elections.

DailyDevotion Abraham’s Life of Faith He went out, not knowing where he was going. —Hebrews 11:8 In the Old Testament, a person’s relationship with God was seen by the degree of separation in that person’s life. This separation is exhibited in the life of Abraham by his separation from his country and his family. When we think of separation today, we do not mean to be literally separated from those family members who do not have a personal relationship with God, but to be separated mentally and morally from their viewpoints. This is what Jesus Christ was referring to in Luke 14:26. Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason— a life of knowing Him who calls us to go. Faith is rooted in the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest traps we fall into is the belief that if we have faith, God will surely lead us to success in the world. The final stage in the life of faith is the attainment of character, and we encounter many changes in the process. We feel the presence of God around us when we pray, yet we are only momentarily changed. We tend to keep going back to our everyday ways and the glory vanishes. A life of faith is not a life of one glorious mountaintop experience after another, like soaring on eagles’ wings, but is a life of day-in and day-out consistency; a life of walking without fainting (see Isaiah 40:31). It is not even a question of the holiness of sanctification, but of something which comes much farther down the road. It is a faith that has been tried and proved and has withstood the test. Abraham is not a type or an example of the holiness of sanctification, but a type of the life of faith— a faith, tested and true, built on the true God. “Abraham believed God…” (Romans 4:3).

Chanakya: The philosopher king-trainer in ancient India

hanakya (also known as Kautilya) was one the wisest Indian philosophers, who lived from 371 BC to 283 BC. He knew plenty about almost every subject: statecraft, economics, laws, warfare strategies, foreign policies, medicine, and astrology. He also authored the famous works “Arthasastra” (a treatise on the science of politics) and “Chanakya Nitti” (a treatise on the ideal way of life). According to a popular legend, Chanakya bought Chandragupta Maurya as a young lad from a cowherd in a certain village, having seen in the boy the promise of future greatness. He brought the young Chandragupta with him to his native city of Takshashili, the most renowned centre of learning located in north-western ancient India, and had him educated there in Political Science and Military Arts, among others. Chanakya managed the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta’s rise to power at a young age. He helped to overthrow the powerful Nanda Empire in 322 BC, put Chandragupta on the throne, and consolidated his empire

by a fusion of several small independent states. Thus, Chanakya played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire, which was the first empire in the Indian subcontinent. Earlier, India was invaded by several foreign forces, not of the least of which was the Greeks under the leadership of Alexander the Great. Describing about this particular period, R.N. Mukherji writes: “The country had hardly recovered from the shock of Alexander’s victorious march ... which had dislocated its indigenous political organisations .... The battle of India’s independence against these heavy odds called for a leader of exceptional ability and vision who would infuse new life …into the drooping spirits of a defeated people, and organise a fresh national resistance against alien domination. Fortunately the country produced such a leader in young Chandragupta who had already been prepared in advance for his great mission in life by the Brahmin Chanakya …. Chanakya’s superior vision and insight led him to discover in this youth … who would be able,

under his direction, to free the Chanakya: “You tell me.” fatherland of foreign rule.” In Students : “We’ll make our other words, Chanakya was friends into ministers.” instrumental in preventing the Chanakya: “But because they balkanisation of the Indian are your friends, they will not subcontinent which had been listen to you.” ravaged by foreign invasions.

with no experience will become disastrous.” Students: “If that’s how everyone is, then we’ll make nobody to be ministers.” Chanakya: “Make all of them into ministers but listen to none of them. Only listen to a spiritual person who doesn’t want power – someone who is selfless and beyond material attractions. Listen to him and nobody else.” The ideal ruler, according to Chanakya, should have absolute mastery over himself and be “pre-eminent in virtue.” This is extremely important, because “If rulers are righteous, people are righteous; if they are sinners, people are also sinners; like ruler, like people.” In this, Chanakya echoes the wisdom of the great Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who was his contemporary. Thus, Chanakya was to Chandragupta what Aristotle was to Alexander. According to Chanakya, a ruler should know something about everything, because leadership is a “responsibility” (Dharna) and not just a position. If a person wanted to be a great ruler, he would need to know at least

five important subjects well: Leadership Dharna, Economics, Laws, Foreign Policies, and the Art of War. For that matter, even a learned ruler needs counsel and advice from others. “Governance is possible only with assistance. A single wheel does not move. Hence, ministers should be appointed and their counsel listened to,” says Chanakya. In short, Chanakya was a “Rajas’ Guru” who was truly farsighted and visionary. He mentored both Chandragupta and his son Bindusara, the father of Ashoka the Great who was also, without a doubt, brought up in the teaching of Chanakya with the Arthasastra as his required textbook. Unquestionably, Chanakya had profoundly influenced at least three successive generations of the Maurya Empire. Though he chiefly played a behind-the-scenes role, he raised up leaders to shake up a big part of the then knownworld. Without him, there might have been no Chandragupta and Ashoka the Great as we know them today. Such was the man Chanakya – the sage and king-trainer in Ancient India.

Post-mortem On the observation A personal experience of the Sabbath and Sunday on the magical power of music

hen we say music, it is almost as vast as the ocean as there are myriad brands of music. What is music for somebody could also be mere cacophony of loud noises for others. The taste of music definitely varies so widely and genres of music are being born incessantly. We’ve got Western, Indian, African, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Latin so on and so forth. And again, when we especially talk about Western music, there are myriad kinds. Some are soothing, gentle and spiritually uplifting; some have sensual or sexual innuendos arousing romance and passion in the listener’s mind; some excite the mind to be aggressive, violent and fearless; and some are more concerned with morbid subjects of death, suffering and evil. The themes, rhythm and sound are integral parts of music that determine what particular kind of music it is. In my early years, I started my foray into music world through radio. There were different music programs such as Western music, Hindi film songs, and songs in various local dialects. Western music proved to be somewhat enchanting and magnetising as I listened to its different varieties such as country, slow rock, pop, gospel, reggae, and sometimes hard rock. Later on, I started listening music on stereo tapes, headphones and music decks with loud and heavy woofers. Then came the digital era that can still be played on heavy woofer speakers connected to computers or CD players. I don’t know much about other varieties of music that I have slightly mentioned except Western, Hindi and local dialect songs; but here I would just like to dwell more on Western music which has kept me company all along my life, not that it is superior to others. BoneyM, Abba, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Rogers, Don Williams, Dan Seals belonged to the early batch of musicians that really mesmerised me and made me want to listen even more. The likes of Scorpions, Queen, Nazareth, Jon Bon Jovi, Europe, Boston, Ozzy Osbourne, CCR and many others followed. My music arsenal got expanded with the addition of many other artistes and bands. Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/ DC, Aerosmith, Manowar, Motorhead, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and others joined my music repository. They were all part of what I regarded as music, albeit some of them were really loud and heavy. I would sometimes listen to them for hours together continuously for I had other friends too with me who were almost equally enthusiastic and mesmerised. We were not aware and did not care much about the themes of the lyrics;

all that we relished were the speed, rhythm, loudness etc. We were much awed by the vocal and instrumental prowess of the vocalists, lead/bass guitarists and the drummers. The fast and intricate notes and riffs the musicians can play with their extraordinarily dexterous fingers, hands, feet and vocal cords afforded us with much entertainment and delight. We would try to emulate and imitate them by practicing hard with our old bent guitars and incomplete set of drums. We also strained and stretched hard our vocal cords to attain the high pitch of our favourite rock singers. In those days internet was not yet even dreamt of; we listened hard to catch the words in the lyrics. Sometimes, we were lucky enough to find lyrics of some popular songs, which we would struggle to master in our own style. All we can remember is that we had great time listening and practising those old classic rock songs that seem to be fast fading away with the passage of time. In the later years, I bumped into some write-ups on the themes and rhythms of rock music that ignited my interest to do a little bit of research into the lyrics of rock music. I came to learn something about the subjects that the rock musicians are more obsessed with. Some of them sing about historical events like war and genocide, some sing about social issues, some sing about the abuse of drugs and sexual decadence, and some are more concerned with juvenile lifestyle. They find in the social happenings lot of materials to stuff into their lyrics. The rock musicians are sometimes accused of inciting and promoting social chaos, anarchy, violence and rebellion through their music and lyrics, which compelled them to come out in public to explain and clarify their motive in writing the outrageous lyrics. People, particularly religious bodies, see them as churning out a lot of trash music that cater to the tastes and whims of rebellious youth, who are more inclined towards music that is loud, fast, chaotic and flamboyant. The musicians often try to defend themselves by claiming that they are merely trying to portray the realities of life through their music. How far that is true is up to each individual to judge and decide. One thing we can see is that rock musicians are extremely dedicated to their music, which is characterised by complexity and intricacy. For years, they struggle hard to whet and perfect their musical skills and techniques before they gradually earn recognition, acceptability and popularity. All other music genres have their own charm and beauty and rock music was one that held a dominating position in the music world for about half a century. The best of rock music seems to have been produced

during the second half of the last century. H a r d , H e av y, G l a m , Speed/Thrash, Death, Industrial Metals, Alternative rock etc had their roots in what was known as black music such as Jazz, blues and rock and roll. The advent of Alternative rock almost completely revolutionised and overhauled the rock music scene in the 1990s, and ever since, the popularity of rock music seems to have gradually declined with the waning popularity and fading into obscurity of the aging musicians; and many have even met their untimely deaths. However, one can still not rule out the revival of rock music in some similar or different forms in the years to come. What is being witnessed presently is the emergence of some new bands that seem to closely resemble some of those highly popular rock bands of the bygone years. Country music is another genre of western music that is comparatively milder, soothing, melancholic and sentimental. Johny Cash, Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Don Williams, Dan Seals, Garth Brook, Ricky Skaggs, Dolly Parton, Marie Osmond, Emmylou Harris, and a host others bring to the ears and heart unforgettable melody and rhythm that seem to lull the soul and mind. Songs of heartbreak, separation, childhood memories of country life are some of the themes of country music. Pop and Reggae music too are good in creating dance mood in their listeners. Madonna, Michael Jackson, Samantha Fox, George Michael, Wham, etc were some of the pioneers of Pop Music. This brand of music incorporates elements from other genres too. Rap and Hip-hop music too became the favourite of the youth. These days, the youth seem to be more powerfully attracted to the dance beat of this brand of music. Country, Western pop, Korean pop, rap/hip-hop seem to be ruling the roost of contemporary music world. Music, indeed, is an integral part of human life and it undoubtedly wields the power to play with the thoughts and emotions of a person. Apart from its entertaining aspect, music can also exert edifying effect on the listener’s mind. Religious/devotional music can enhance the spirit of praise and worship of the Almighty. Music has a big role to play in enhancing the experience of worship services. Thus, there is the need to choose wholesome and edifying brand of music to experience a fuller life. Some religious experts have even gone to the extent of suggesting that one has to be careful in choosing the kind of music that one listens as it can powerfully influence the thoughts, emotions and behaviour of its listener.

f late, a heavy debate has been going on in the press as to whether there should be closure of shops on Sundays. Some writers have even brought in the issue of the observance of the Sabbath to support their argument for keeping Sunday as a Sabbath day. Still others have brought in the issue of Prophets who condemned the non observation of the Sabbath to support their arguments! Let us therefore go to the Bible for clarification of what the Sabbath day is and what Sunday is. 1. SABBATH: The observation of Sabbath was part of the Old Testament Covenant and laws. In Exodus 20:8-10, the Israelites were commanded to strictly observe the Sabbath day as a holy day where not only they, but even their servants and the sojourners in their midst were to completely abstain from doing any kind of work. Prophets who spoke on God’s behalf also pronounced many blessings on those who strictly observed the Sabbath day (Isa. 58 13, 14 etc). This Sabbath observation was on the seventh day of a week. 2. SUNDAY: However, with the coming of Jesus into the world, a new covenant was ushered into the world changing the meaning of the Sabbath and its observance. The old covenant was the dispensation of the Law and Justice. This new covenant was the dispensation of Grace and Mercy. In this new covenant, Jesus said: “The son of Man (Jesus), is Lord of the Sabbath” (Lk.6:5). Then in Rom. 10:4 the Apostle Paul said: “Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone that believes.” If one reads the whole chapter of Romans 8, one will understand that to be found righteous

before God is not through observation of days and rituals but faith on the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Paul further went on to state in Romans chapter 14 that the meaning and observation of the Sabbath is no longer binding on the believers. As for observation of sacred days, in Rom. 14:5 Paul says: “One man considers one day as more sacred than another; another man considers everyday alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” This means observation of a day as a day of worship is left to the individual believer to decide. Also in Galatians chapter 4:8-11, Paul is scolding the Galatian Christians for observing days, months, seasons and years. He scolded them by saying: “How is it that you are turning back to all those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? In summary and conclusion, Sabbath was commanded to be observed in the Old Testament dispensation and covenant. But this Sabbath observation is no longer binding on the Christian believer of The New Testament covenant. Whereas Sabbath was observed on a Saturday which was the seventh day of the week for Jews; Sunday is the first day of the week where the new believers used to gather for prayer and worship (1 Cor. 16:2). As for any Christian, every day of his/her life should be a HOLY DAY where every believer should walk in obedience to God’s laws and standards. Also, observation of Sunday as a day set apart for rest and worship is no problem for me. But no Government or Church can dictate on a believer on this issue. Kaka D. Iralu

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Uniqueness must be honoured

There is a saying, “A long dialogue means both the parties are wrong”. The Indo-Naga political dialogue has been going on for more six decades now and still no immediate solution in sight. The Framework Agreement which was signed some years back has little hope, many are still sceptical and curious to know about the details. If ‘Total Sovereignty ‘ is not going to happen then why Indian Government is acting so tough? Why is it so difficult to fulfil the other demands? Whom are they afraid of ? Indian Government knows exactly what Nagas are looking for. They must honour and respect our people and history. Getting more autonomy without separate flag and Constitution is meaningless. We Nagas considered ourselves as Unique, the Government of India has recognised our history as Unique, the meaning, Nagaland was never a part of India. Therefore, the solution must be Unique. And by the way, granting separate flag and Constitution doesn’t imply making another nation. Take the example of USA, it has fifty States, each have their own constitution and considered as the most powerful nation. The Government of India must take a bold decision to fulfill these two demands also. The ball is firmly in the court of Indian Government. Openthung Kithan, 4th Mile, Diphupar, Dimapur

BJP-led govt in Goa to face floor test

Goa Governor Mridula Sinha (right) administers the oath of the office to Pramod Sawant as the new Chief Minister of Goa.

with 11 other ministers in a ceremony in the wee hours Tuesday, succeeds Parrikar, who died Sunday after battling pancreatic cancer. He said his priority was to complete projects undertaken by Parrikar. The state government will build a memorial in Parrikar’s name at Panaji’s Miramar beach, where he was cremated, he added. Sawant exuded confidence that the BJP-led alliance would remain intact, adding BJP’s allies are backing him. “I will try to ensure that the alliance remains intact. I will deal with people the way Parrikar used to,” he said. Sawant said ministers

sworn along with would be allocated portfolios soon. He expressed confidence that his government will complete its tenure. Sawant was sworn in as the new chief minister of Goa just before 2 am Tuesday, after hectic parleys between the saffron party and its allies to put a new government in place in the state. The governor also administered oath to 11 other ministers, including those from BJP’s allies MGP and the GFP. As per the power-sharing arrangement reached with allies, an MLA each from the two smaller parties backing the BJP will be made deputy chief minis-

(From p-1) Mentioning that his party was trying to figure out how best to ensure that secular forces work together, Liezietsu announced that NPF was looking forward to making “some adjustments” with some like-minded parties, adding that this would be declared in a day or two. Speaking on the occasion, NPF Legislature Party leader TR Zeliang said, if the party’s candidate wins the by-poll, it would bring the party closer to getting near the magic figure and form the government in the State. Thus, he said the by-poll was very important. He appealed to the party workers to shun internal strife and march forward for the elections. In his brief speech, Toshipokba said he witnessed real democracy in the party, asserting that

only NPF recognized even the smallest of its loyal supporters. He said it was the fifth consecutive time that the party had given him ticket – for three general elections and two by-elections – and acknowledged Wati for exhibiting “political maturity”. Toshipokba said he accepted the NPF ticket with a firm resolve to work for public welfare and assured of using all his abilities and resources to win the by-poll. The by-poll being crucial, he appealed to the party president and colleagues and workers to give complete support. On his part, Pfoze expressed his gratitude to the party for reposing confidence and faith on him, adding Parliament election had many challenges. He, however, exuded confidence of

battling it out with success. Alleging that Nagas in Manipur faced many problems as the State government did not give ear to the community’s grievances, he claimed that NPF had been playing a major role to highlight their grievances. He asserted that NPF was here to stay and that the movement runs in the blood of the Nagas living in Manipur. He committed to work for the interest of Nagas and other tribal communities of Manipur and urged party workers to ensure NPF’s victory. Liezietsu handed over the party tickets. Legislator Imkong L Imchen and Rajya Sabha member KG Kenye also spoke at the meeting, which was attended by a host of party workers from both Nagaland and Manipur.

ter, party sources said. They are GFP chief Vijai Sardesai and MGP legislator Sudin Dhavalikar. After multiple postponements of the oath ceremony on Monday, Sawant, legislator from Sankhalim in North Goa, was sworn in as CM at Raj Bhavan at 1.50 am. BJP president Amit Shah and Union minister Nitin Gadkari played behind-the-scene roles in ensuring the party retained power in Goa, after the death of Parrikar, sources familiar with the developments said. The impasse over government formation, which included dealing with stubborn allies wanting to extract their pound of flesh, was resolved with deft handling of the situation by the two senior BJP leaders, party sources said Tuesday. In 2017 also, after the BJP failed to get a majority in the state Assembly polls,Gadkari had flown in here to help the BJP in cobbling up an alliance with smaller parties in the coastal state, after which a government was formed under Parrikar’s leadership.

Hyderabad, Mar 19 (AGENCIES): Industrialist-turned-politician Nama Nageshwar Rao on Tuesday resigned from Telugu Desam Party. The former MP from Telangana and TDP politburo member is one of the richest politicians in the country with declared assets worth over Rs 113 crore. Nageshwar Rao represented Khammam parliamentary constituency between 2009 and 2014. He had been associated with the TDP for the last 15 years and served as leader of TDP parliamentary party during his stint in Lok Sabha. The former MP, who

within one year of PDA government. He said public and government should “journey together” to fulfil the development promises made by the government. Kaito, the lone JD (U) legislator, said his party would always stand for the interest of Naga people and that it would continue to work for early solution to Naga political issue. He urged the people to support BJP-led NDA government at the Centre by voting for the PDA consensus candidate in the interest of development and progress of Nagaland. Advisor, Industries and Commerce and NIDC, Imnatiba, asserted that God answered the prayers of people of Nagaland for stable and strong government through the PDA government. He also called upon the people to support PDA consensus candidate in the ensuing Parliamentary polls. The launching programme attended by several hundred party supporters, was chaired by NDPP, working president, Alemtemshi Jamir, while opening prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Wati Aier, welcome address by minister Jacob Zhimomi, welcome song by Naga Choir, special song by Lu Keva and vote of thanks by advisor, Tovihoto Ayemi. Earlier, the chief minister also informed that PDA consensus candidate for by-election to 26-Aonglenden A/C, Sharingain Longkumer would file his nomination on March 22 and simultaneously the party would launch its campaign on the same day in Mokokchung. Former chief minister and Congress candidate, K.L Chishi is the other contender for the lone Lok Sabha seat, currently held by PDA consensus candidate, Tokheho Yepthomi, while the opposition NPF party was yet to announce its candidate for the ensuing Parliamentary polls.

also said it has lapsed and so that there was no need for the opposition to dig up a dead issue. “I wonder whether they are raking up the issue and whether they know the technicalities or not,” said Tokheho. Deputy chief minister and BJP’s legislature party leader, Y Patton, urged the people not to be misled by false propagandas and rumours about crisis within the alliance party. Unlike the opposition party (NPF), Patton said PDA enjoyed stable government and strong leadership and that the alliance would continue to protect the interests and welfare of the people of Nagaland. Patton also thanked the religious leaders, church and public for not heeding to opposition’s propaganda that BJP was anti-Christian and urged all to continue their support for all-round development. He took a jibe at the previous NPF-led DAN-III government for its inability to provide stable government due to crisis within the party. In a lighter vein, Patton said the last government could not bring any development as they (including him) were busy watching animals and birds at a holiday resort. NDPP president and chairman PDA, Chingwang Konyak, reiterated the PDA government’s commitment for a strong and stable government for progressive Nagaland. “We are giving stability and progressive leadership. Change is bound to come and people are already witnessing significant change in the last one year of our governance,” said Konyak. Konyak said people of Nagaland should work closely with the ruling government at the state and at the Centre, for the state to progress. He then urged all to extend support to PDA consensus candidate. Minister of Agriculture, G Kaito Aye, claimed that there has been visible development in the state

(From p-1) He said in the next four years, the PDA government will remain committed to bring more change for the youth, farmers and entrepreneurs. Rio also exuded hope that Naga political issue would be settled in next few years and peace, development and progress would prevail in the state. Earlier, sitting Lok Sabha MP and PDA consensus candidate, Tokheho Yepthomi, urged the people of Nagaland to support BJP-led NDA government at the Centre if Nagas want settlement to the decades old Naga political issue. Tokheho, a former Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader, claimed that the Naga political talk did not make any significant progress during 2004-2013 under Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. He said the ongoing talks resulted in significant progress under the leadership of Narendra Modi. Tokheho pointed out that the Modi government signed the Framework agreement with the NSCN/ GPRN on August 3, 2015, within a year of forming the government at the Centre. He also pointed out that the Parliament Standing Committee, including all political parties, was formed under Modi government to assess the ongoing Naga political talk. Tokheho said the committee tabled a report in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha mentioning that Naga negotiation was at an advanced stage and therefore, recommended that Naga political issue be settled at the earliest. He also asked Nagas whether they really wanted a settlement or to let the Naga issue be used as political agenda by different political groups during assembly and parliamentary elections?. “If Nagas wants settlement then NDA should form the government at the Centre,” said Tokheho. He also clarified his position over the CAB and

Panaji, Mar 19 (PTI): The BJP-led government in Goa will face the floor test Wednesay, a day after it was formed. Governor Mridula Sinha has convened a special session of the Assembly at 11.30 am Wednesday to enable Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to prove his majority in the House, an official said. Sawant Tuesday said his government had sought a floor test on Wednesday to prove its strength in the Assembly. The BJP-led government in the coastal state claims suppor t of 21 MLAs - 12 from the BJP, three each of allies Goa Forward Party (GFP) and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and three Independents. The strength of the 40member House has been reduced to 36 due to the death of chief minister Manohar Parrikar, BJP MLA Francis D’Souza and resignations of two Congress MLAs Subhash Shirodkar and Dayanand Sopte. The Congress is the single largest party in the state with 14 MLAs. There is also an NCP legislator in the House. Sawant, 45, who was sworn in along

ment, the IATA membership is significant on account of SpiceJet’s plans for rapidly expanding its international footprint. The membership allows the airline to “explore and grow its collaborations with international member airlines of IATA through interlining and code shares, enabling SpiceJet to seamlessly expand the network options for its passengers in future,” it added. “The membership will further enable us to inculcate global best practices and innovations... IATA also provides us a platform to closely work and collaborate with other airline members and expand our network through code shares and agreements with partner airlines,” SpiceJet Chairman and Managing Director Ajay Singh said.

New Delhi, Mar 19 (PTI): SpiceJet has joined global airlines’ grouping IATA as a member, becoming the first Indian low-cost carrier to get the membership. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) represents more than 290 airlines, including Air India, Jet Airways and Vistara. The membership would help SpiceJet, which has ambitious expansion plans, to have codeshares and agreements with other carriers, the domestic airline said in a statement Tuesday. SpiceJet has become the first Indian low-cost carrier to join the IATA as a member, it added. “We are delighted to welcome SpiceJet as part of the 290 airlines in the IATA family. SpiceJet is the first Indian low-cost carrier to be an IATA member, and our fifth member in India,” IATA Regional Vice-President for Asia Pacific Conrad Clifford said. According to the state-

New Delhi, Mar 19 (PTI): India’s fuel demand rose 3.8 per cent in February as free cooking gas connections spurred LPG consumption while petrol and diesel use continued to rise. Fuel consumption in February totalled 17.41 million tonnes as compared to 16.77 million tonnes in the same month last year, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the Oil Ministry showed. Consumption rose for the third month in a row as ensuing general elections are likely to spike demand further. With retail prices moderating, petrol consumption soared 8 per cent to 2.25 million tonnes while the government push to give every household a cooking gas connection led to LPG demand spiking by 14.2 per cent to 2.2 million tonnes. Diesel, the most consumed fuel in the country, saw consumption rise by 2.7 per cent to 6.7 million tonnes. During February, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) sales were up 10.5 per cent to 6,80,000 tonnes.

Mumbai, Mar 19 (PTI): Halting its six-day winning run, the Indian rupee Tuesday edged lower by 43 paise to close at 68.96 to the US dollar on emergence of demand for the greenback from importers. The local currency also came under pressure due to rising crude pressure and a caution ahead of the outcome of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex), the domestic currency opened at 68.53 a dollar and fell further to touch the day’s low of 69.05. It finally settled at 68.96 per dollar, down 43 paise over its previous close. The Indian rupee on Monday had surged by 57 paise to close at an over seven-month high of 68.53 against the US dollar. “The rupee has depreciated today on account of importers demand at lower levels. However broad sentiments remain positive due to foreign fund inflows in the debt and equity market. In the near term, the rupee may trade in the range of 68 and 69.50,” said Rushabh Maru, Research Analyst - Currency and Commodity, Anand Rathi

‘Egg Boy’ to donate fund to victims

Melbourne, Mar 19 (IANS): The Australian teenager, who threw egg at a far-right senator over his offensive comments about the Christchurch mosque attacks, has said he would donate most of the money raised for him towards the terror attacks’ victims, the NZ Herald reported. Seventeen-year-old Will Connolly aka “Egg Boy” had threw egg on Fraser Anning on Saturday after the politician triggered outrage by claiming the attacks at two mosques in which 50 people were killed were caused by Muslim immigration to the country. Anning was addressing a political meeting in Moorabbin, in Melbourne’s south-east, when Connolly smashed the egg on his head and filmed the

act on his phone. The video went viral on social media, spawning viral memes and drawing support from around the world, with one setting up a GoFundMe page, which quickly raised Aus$44,000 to cover “legal fees” and “more eggs”. Connolly, however, was arrested by the Victoria Police and later released

without any charge. “Don’t egg politicians. You get tackled by 30 bogans at the same time. I learnt the hard way,” he tweeted after his release. “This was the moment I felt proud to exist as a human being. Let me inform all you guys, Muslims are not terrorists and terrorism has no religion. All those who consider Muslims a terrorist community have empty heads like Anning,” he said. The politician, however, refused to take back his remarks, which have invited hate and scorn from across the world. ‘Appalling’ comments Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the Queensland

senator’s comments as “appalling” and “ugly” with “no place in Australia”. Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd dubbed Anning a “racist and a fascist”, and encouraged Australians to sign a petition calling for him to be booted out of parliament. The Change.org petition has amassed 1.2 million digital signatures. Anning brushed off the backlash on Monday, repeating his claims tying Muslim immigration to “terrorism” and defending his use of violence against the 17-year-old, according to Australia’s ABC media network. Self-confessed white supremacist Brenton Tarrant, from Australia, has been charged with murder in the Christchurch mass shootings.

Pak SC hears Sharif’s bail plea Islamabad, Mar 19 (IANS): The Pakistan Supreme Court on Tuesday heard former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ’s petition against an Islamabad High Court (IHC) order rejecting his plea for bail on medical grounds in a corruption case. Sharif was on December 24, 2018, sentenced to seven years in prison by an anti-corruption court in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case for owning a steel factory abroad without disclosing its ownership. The former leader’s appeal before the Supreme Court seeks his release on bail after suspending the execution of the December 2018 sentence, Dawn news reported. The appeal contends that the IHC’s February 25, 2019, order is in violation of his fundamental right to life.

Ardern vows to make mosque attacker face ‘full force of law’ Christchurch, Mar 19 (AFP): New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern promised on Tuesday that the man responsible for last week’s deadly mosque massacres would face “the full force of the law”, as she vowed never to utter his name. “He sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety -- that is why you will never hear me mention his name,” Ardern said in an emotional address to a special meeting of parliament, which she opened with the Arabic greeting “as salaam aleikum” -- ‘peace be upon you’. “I implore you: Speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them,” she told the gathering in

Jacinda Ardern (File)

Wellington, four days after the massacre in the southern city of Christchurch. “He is a terrorist. He is a criminal. He is an extremist. But he will, when I speak, be nameless,” she said. Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, was captured by police and has been charged with one count of murder,

but Ardern assured parliament other charges would follow. “He will face the full force of the law in New Zealand,” she said. Ardern has promised reforms to New Zealand gun laws which allowed Tarrant to legally purchase the weapons he used in the attack, including semi-automatic rifles. And she announced a full review of how the Australian -- an avowed white supremacist -- was able to plan and carry out the attacks in New Zealand under the radar of security services. “The person who committed these acts was not from here. He was not raised here. He did not find his ideology here. But that is not to say that those very same views do not live here,” she said.

‘Dutch tram shooting may be a terror attack’ UK Speaker rules out 3rd vote on PM May’s Brexit deal

Utrecht (Netherlands), Mar 19 (IANS): The suspect of tram shooting in the Dutch city of Utrecht and his victims were not linked, said the police and the prosecutor on Tuesday and added they were, therefore, “seriously considering a terrorist motive”. According to a joint statement by the police and the prosecutor, investigations so far showed no relation between the shooter and the victims, and a note found in a seized car is one of the other reasons to think of a terrorist motive.

Suspect captured after the tram shooting.

But other motives are not excluded and the probe is on. Three people were killed and seven others injured in the tram shooting

in Utrecht on Monday. The police arrested the main suspect and another person for involvement. On Monday, Dutch police arrested a third suspect.

London, Mar 19 (PTI): In a fresh blow to embattled Prime Minister Theresa May on Brexit, House of Commons Speaker John Bercow, in a surprise move, disallowed any attempt to hold a third vote on her withdrawal deal with the EU which has already been rejected by MPs twice. Prime Minister May will meet her Cabinet later as she considers her next steps on quitting the European Union, after her plans were thrown into doubt by Speaker Bercow. May had been considering a third vote on her Brexit deal, which

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

has already been rejected twice in the House. Bercow, in a surprise move, ruled on Monday that he would not allow another vote on the government motion if it remained “substantially the same” after it was defeated by a huge 230-vote margin in January and a smaller 149-vote margin last week. He said parliamentary conventions dating back to 1604 meant MPs could not be asked to vote on precisely the same subject twice, indicating that he had allowed the second vote as the government had claimed some changes to the

controversial Irish backstop clause offered an improved deal for Britain’s exit from the 28-member European Union on March 29. “It is a necessary rule to ensure the sensible use of the House’s time and the proper respect for the decisions which it takes,” he said. “If the government was to bring forward a new proposition that is neither the same, nor substantially the same as disposed of by March 10, this would be entirely in order,” he said, adding that the new motion could not be “the same proposition or substantially

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

the same proposition”. The Speaker, who is in charge of selecting the motions and amendments that the Commons votes on, said the second meaningful vote motion on May’s Brexit deal held last week did not fall foul of parliamentary convention because it could be “credibly argued it was a different proposition” to that rejected on January 15 because of changes the government considered to be legally binding. It is written into law that the UK is due to leave the EU on March 29. The UK government can ask the

EU to delay Brexit but all 27 EU leaders would need to give their permission. Bercow’s latest ruling comes as a fresh blow to May, who had been hoping she may get third-time lucky if she could win over enough rebellious MPs by warning that Brexit itself was in jeopardy unless she can go back to the EU with a substantial deal in place. She is set to head to Brussels later on Thursday for a European Council summit where EU leaders will contemplate agreeing to an extension of the March 29 Brexit Day deadline.

Lashushe is currently pursuing her MBA at Nagaland University (NU) Meriema campus, Kohima. She will also get a chance to represent India at an international pageant. She was also awarded Miss Glowing Skin at the event. She and her fellow mate Rini Kapfo from Nagaland was accompanied by the Director of GHN Entertainment Sasongdangba Yaden. While Maitri Monali Pradhan from Odisha was crowned the winner in the

beauty pageant held on March 17. Apurvi Saini and Saniya Juneja got the ‘Face of Beauty India 2019’ and ‘Miss Globe India 2019’, respectively. Elite Miss India is a platform to seek, recognize, encourage and nurture hidden beauty and talent across the country and help fulfil their aspirations and dreams. The main motto of the pageant is to spread awareness about the killing of unborn girls (female foeticide) an alarming and frightening reality. The winners will travel across India to spread awareness against female foeticide through seminars, camps and campaigns. (Correspondent)

ohima Global Shapers team will be organizing a day-long fundraising event at the Heritage for an initiative ‘Each One Teach One’, on March 21 from 10 a.m. onwards. The day-long event will feature savoury food stalls set up by popular cafes, exciting carnival games and entertaining music. Besides these, the event will witness the ‘Street Fitness Competition’ which will feature some of the fittest individuals in Kohima battling it out for top spots in various categories including arm wrestling, push-up, pull-up and short distance running. This will be followed by a thrilling ‘Street Dance Off ’ featuring the best

dancers in town. There will be a live musical performance in the evening featuring renowned local talents Papersky, Mar Jamir (Polar Lights), Unplugged 3 and artistes from the Music Academy, Kohima. Gates to the venue will open at 10:00 a.m. street fitness will begin from 12:00 noon while the concert will start from 4:00 p.m. onwards. With the funds generated through the event, Global Shapers Kohima Hub hopes to restart ‘Each One, Teach One’, an initiative seeded by Kethosilie Sorhie during June 2017. The ‘Each One, Teach One’ initiative started as a free tuition centre along Kezieke-Secretariat road for children from families for whom the costs

of private tuitions were beyond their means. The centre provided tuitions to around 40 students of private and government schools, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Between the dearth for funds to pay the monthly rental for the garage space and shortage of volunteers to tutor the children, particularly in Mathematics, Hindi and Science subjects, the centre shut down in October 2018 despite continued efforts and hopes for financial assistance and additional volunteers. All this prompted the Kohima Global Shapers team to come up with the idea to hold the event. The Kohima Global Shapers hopes to give this initiative a new lease

of life by envisioning a centre not limited to just curricular guidance and tutoring but to empower and transform each student into independent learners prepared to meet academic and personal challenges by providing classes in art, music, creative-writing, photography etc. In the process, the Shapers hopes to not only expand the horizons of the students in terms of their academic proficiency and professional outlook but also to mould them into socially conscious individuals thereby ensuring a better society at large. As the Global Shapers take on this endeavor, they hope to inspire a coming together regardless of age, tribe, profession or class rising above the conflicts and perspectives, and weave the

ideals behind this project into the very fabric of who we are as individuals and as a society. The Global Shapers Community is an initiative of the World Economic Forum (WEF) which has enabled 371 hubs in world’s major cities. The Kohima Global Shapers is one such Hub with young individuals – civil servants, entrepreneurs, educators and professionals in a wide array of fields – who are exceptional in their potential, their achievements and their drive to make contributions to the society. The members are all volunteers who over the years have taken on various social initiatives making available their own time and resources towards these initiatives. (NPN)

Women’s u-23 One Day League

“So there was a discussion among the International Tennis Federation Federation (ITF), hosts All India Tennis Association (AITA), Asian Tennis Federation (ATF) and a few other stake-holders and it was decided that for the time being, it was prudent to shift the venue. “It’s not that India is not a secure place but due to the uncertainty caused by the tension between the two neighbours, everyone felt that it’s a fair call to take the tournament somewhere else,” said the source, privy to the developments. When the ITF was approached for a comment, an official said, “I would like to inform you that the host nation decided to change the official venue to Bangkok. We were contacted by the ATF of (sic) the venue change for the

kok, Thailand. The tensions between the two neighbours heightened after the Pulwama terror attack in which more than 40 CRPF personnel were killed. The responsibility of the attack was taken by Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed. India retaliated with an air strike, targetting a training camp of the outfit on February 26. Pakistan’s air space remains closed till date in the aftermath. The source said logistics became a big issue for almost all the participating countries. “Since the air space was locked, the flights had to take a detour, which meant increase in cost and more travel time. For instance, Kazakhstan would have taken three-four extra hours to reach New Delhi in the prevailing situation.

Asia/Oceania final qualifying event.” When the All India Tennis Association was asked about it, Secretary General Hironmoy Chatterjee claimed that AITA failed to raise funds for the tournament. “Raising funds for tennis tournaments is very difficult in this country. We had recently hosted the Davis Cup in Kolkata and now we are short of funds. The government also does not help so we informed the ITF that we can’t host it,” Chatterjee told PTI. Asked why didn’t AITA factor all this when the events were allotted by the ITF, Chatterjee said, “we were hoping to arrange funds at that time.” “You have to provide hospitality for these events. The stay, food, travel, everything has to be arranged for all players and officials. It’s a lot of money.” It is lear nt that it would have cost AITA about Rs 50 lakh to host the tournament and a part of the expenses would have been borne by the ITF.

New Delhi, Mar 19 (PTI): The closure of Pakistan’s air space in the aftermath of the Balakot air strikes has resulted in India losing the hosting rights of the junior Davis Cup and Fed Cup, a source in the national federation told PTI on Tuesday. A total of 16 Under16 Davis Cup teams, including Pakistan, were to travel to India for the annual competition, often dubbed as the World Cup of tennis. The junior Davis Cup was to be held at the DLTA complex from April 8-13 while the Fed cup matches were scheduled from April 15-20. “Pakistan’s air space was locked down at that time and airports (in India) were also on high alert. No one knew for how long the uncertain situation will prevail. So, a consensus emerged that it’s best to shift the venue and India could host tournaments in future,” a highly-placed source told PTI. Both the competitions will now be held in Bang-

DECLARATION The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) is a regional party in Nagaland; as such, the party’s constitution and functioning is people centric as the real power of the party lies with the people. The people or the electorate has the ultimate power or either strengthen or pull down the party. However, despite such a well define constitution, the NDPP did not respect the sentiments and listened to the voice of the electorates with regard to the upcoming Bye-election of 26 Aonglenden Assembly Constituency under Mokokchung district. It is most unfortunate that the NDPP higher authority ignored the tenets and the party’s constitution during the NDPP ticket distribution on March 13, 2019 at Dimapur and handed the NDPP ticket without listening to the popular voice of the people. Therefore the 26 Aonglenden Assembly Constituency NDPP leaders assert that our moral conscience does not allow us to be in a party where the leaders lead without listening to the voice of the people. The undersigned leaders have resigned from our different post and responsibilities in the NDPP and strongly pledge our support physically, morally and logistically to Shri.O.Tinu Lkr indenting candidate in the forthcoming Bye-election. 1.

Japan’s Olympic chief to step down

Japanese Olympic Committee President Tsunekazu Takeda speaks to the media in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday.

Tokyo, Mar 19 (IANS): The president of the Japanese Olympic Committee said he will step down, two months after French authorities said they were investigating whether he sanctioned bribes to help Tokyo win the 2020 Olympic Games. Tsunekazu Takeda, who has been JOC president since 2001, reiterated on Tuesday that he had done nothing wrong, following a meeting of the Committee at which he said he wouldn’t seek re-election when his current term ends in June, according to a Dow Jones Newswires report made available to Efe News. “I will endeavour to prove my innocence,” he told reporters. “I feel sorry for all the fuss.”

Takeda, 71, said he would also step down as a member of the International Olympic Committee. The French investigation into Tokyo’s Olympic bid centers on two payments totaling $2.1 million paid to a Singapore-based company called Black Tidings before IOC members voted in 2013 for Tokyo to host the 2020 Games. Investigators are looking into whether money was routed to African IOC members to secure their votes, with the approval of Takeda. Takeda, the JOC’s longest-serving President and a second cousin of Japanese Emperor Akihito, has said the JOC paid Black Tidings appropriately for consulting services and no bribery had taken place.

A Japanese investigation into the payments in 2016 found no illegality. A report issued by two lawyers and an accountant who conducted the investigation said the Tokyo bidding committee felt that it risked losing the vote to Madrid and sought assistance from Black Tidings, which provided help to Beijing in a prior successful Olympic bid. The report said the bidding committee didn’t know the head of Black Tidings, Tan Tong Han, had a close personal relationship with Papa Massata Diack, the son of a former IOC official from Senegal, and a focus of the French investigation. The French probe is part of a multiyear investigation into corruption in athletics that was widened in 2016 to include the selection process for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and the 2020 Games. Brazilian and French prosecutors have alleged Diack was paid $2 million by a Brazilian government contractor to secure his father’s vote for the 2016 Games. Tokyo will host the Olympics for a second time next year, from July 24 to August 9. Japan previously hosted the Games in 1964.
