No room for intolerant Indian: Prez

Pranab Mukherjee (File)

KOCHI, MAR 2 (IANS): Days after a Delhi University student came under vicious attack on social media, President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday said India could afford the “intolerant”. There should be “no room in India for the intolerant Indian”, he said here while delivering the 6th K.S. Rajamony Memorial Lecture. “India has been since ancient times a bastion of free thought, speech and expression. “Our society has always been characterized by the open contestation of diverse schools of thought and debate as well as discussion. “Freedom of speech and expression is one of the most important fundamen-

Imtikumzuk is NLA speaker in-charge DIMAPUR, MAR 2 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya has appointed Imtikumzuk, deputy speaker of Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA), to take charge of duties of NLA Speaker, with immediate effect till the new Speaker was elected. Meanwhile, NLA has convened a meeting on March 9, at 11am in the Assembly Committee Room to finalise the provisional programme for the ensuing 15th session of the 12th NLA scheduled from March 21, 2017. Speaker in-charge and Business Advisory Committee chairman, Imtikumzuk, has requested BAC members to attend the meeting.

Aadhaar for booking train tickets online

NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (PTI): The railways will soon move towards Aadhaar-based online ticketing system to prevent touts from blocking a bulk of tickets, end fraudulent bookings and curb cases of impersonation. Aadhaar number has been made mandatory for senior citizens to avail concessions in train tickets from April 1. A three-month trial run for this is going on. Besides the Aadhaarbased ticketing system, the railways will move towards cashless ticketing system.

This is it!

tal rights guaranteed by our Constitution. There must be space for legitimate criticism and dissent,” the President said. Mukherjee voiced his pain over the incidents involving Delhi University. Students, he said, should engage in discussion rather get into a conflict mode. “Our premier institutions of higher education are the vehicles on which India has to propel itself into a knowledge society. “These temples of learning must resound with creativity and free thinking. “Those in universities must engage in reasoned discussion and debate rather than propagate a culture of unrest. It is tragic to see them caught in the vortex of violence and disquiet.” Mukherjee’ remarks came after the RSS-backed ABVP forced the cancellation of a seminar in Delhi University’s Ramjas College on February 21. The next day, ABVP activists were blamed for attacking students and teachers in the campus. Later, when university student Gurmehar Kaur launched a social media campaign against the

ABVP, she got death and rape threats, forcing her to leave Delhi for her home in Punjab. The President said he does not consider a society or State to be civilised if its citizens’ behaviour towards women is uncivilized. “When we brutalize a woman, we wound the soul of our civilization. Not only does our Constitution guarantee equal rights to women but our culture and tradition also celebrate the feminine as divine. “Protection and safety of our women and children must be a nationwide priority.” The acid test of any society is its attitude towards women and children, he said. “India should not fail this test.” Mukherjee urged leaders and political activists to listen to the people, engage with them, learn from them and respond to their needs and concerns. “Our lawmakers must never take the people for granted. They must focus on the fundamental task of law making and raising of issues of concern to the people as well as finding solutions to their problems. “No one who holds any elected of-

fice has been invited by the voters to occupy that office. Each one has gone to the voters and pleaded for their votes and support. “The trust placed by the people in the political system and those elected should not be betrayed,” Mukherjee said. Mukherjee said the time had come for collective efforts to re-discover the sense of national purpose and patriotism that alone can lift India on the road of sustained progress and prosperity. “The nation and the people must always come first.” Stating he sees a very bright future for India, Mukherjee said to applause: “Our Constitutional values, young population and entrepreneurial abilities as well as capacity for hard work provide us the fundamentals required for rapid progress as well as the building of a caring and compassionate society.” In the decade, India would see even greater progress “as we steer our nation, focused on further strengthening our open, democratic and inclusive society”, he said.

Ad hoc teachers demand conduct of suitability test Correspondent

KOHIMA, MAR 2 (NPN): Aggrieved ad hoc teachers have demanded, as assured by the state government, the suitability test for regularization of 1290 teachers should be conducted by March 2017. In the event to the government failed to conduct the test, the teachers warned they would be compelled to take up any course of action in the form of protest and the department would be solely responsible if any untoward situation arose. The aggrieved teachers told Nagaland Post that the present ad hoc teachers were appointed against the vacant state sanctioned posts five to six years back with a fixed pay of Rs. 6700 for primary teachers and Rs. 8400 for graduate teachers. They said the government had assured to let them go through suitability test for the service regularization. However, the teachers lamented that the department has not conducted the suitability test till date. They said that some of the teachers have crossed the upper age limit and some were nearing. Questioning the state government

for not applying the same yardstick to all the employees under the same category in the department, the ad hoc teachers said the present ad hoc vocational teachers like the knitting instructors, language, carpentry and drawing teachers were granted scale pay with all the service benefits unlike the main subject teachers PTs and GTs who were paid a mere fixe pay. Further, the aggrieved teachers said they were given assurance that the suitability test would be conducted in November 2016. However, they alleged that the government repeatedly failed to conduct the test even as a committee has been already set up for the suitability test since last August. The ad hoc teachers also claimed that the department, in a sudden move, had altered the cut off dates for regularization by nullifying the previous cabinet order. They alleged that the move was with an intention to “play delay tactic game” with the teachers on the pretext of including few incumbents under their group. Ad hoc teachers said this has hampered teachers who have already fulfilled the criteria and all the necessary verifications.

Mnp: Blast at NPF candidate’s house leaves 8 injured Correspondent

IMPHAL, Mar 2: A powerful IED blast went off Thursday evening at the residence of a Naga People Front (NPF) candidate in Imphal, injuring at least eight people, police said. Police suspect the hands of militant group behind the blast at the residence of K Leishiyo at Langol who is contesting the ensuing elections from Phungyar assembly segment of Ukhrul district. The bomb went off around 5.15 pm. All the injured were rushed to nearby Shija hospital. Five of them suffered serious injuries after they were hit by splinters, reports said. Following the blast, security was heightened at sensitive areas of Imphal and the outskirts.

NPF for integration of contiguous Naga areas, says Dr. Shürhozelie

Dr. Shürhozelie Lieziets

DIMAPUR, MAR 2 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister and NPF president, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu on Thursday said NPF party was “for integration of contiguous Naga areas.” However, he said it had to be done “through a democratic and legally-correct process which may take some time.” He expressed optimism that sooner or later “integration” would be a reality. Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu said this while addressing the NPF election rally at Chandel and Ukhrul, CMO media cell stated. He also reiterated the need to have a common platform for people living in the hill districts of Manipur.

Though the nomenclature of NPF mentions “Naga”, he said “the party stands for the conglomeration of the entire people of the Hill districts of Manipur.” Dr. Liezietsu cited an instance when he was approached by some political parties from Jharkhand to join the NPF. He said the party decided to go slow for the moment. He lamented that the hill districts, having 20 legislators for the past 40 years, have failed to come together on a single platform even though they had represented different political parties. “They become strangers and this prevents them to speak out in one voice and one mind when they attend the Assembly sessions in Imphal, even though they might have the best of intentions for the overall development of their people,” he added. “We believe that by introducing the NPF in Manipur we have provided the much-needed platform to the people of these 20 constituencies,” he said.

He said this was the intention of NPF to provide a platform, so that the collective voice of the legislators can bring development; protect the interests of the hill people. Elaborating on the aims and objectives of NPF, he said that the party stands for peace and was determined to play the role of a peace-maker among the different sections of the people of the hill districts. “Not only to the different sections of the people of hill districts, but even to the different factions of the underground,’ he said, adding, unless the factions come together, they cannot achieve anything. NPF’s aim is to be the bridge between various underground groups, said Dr. Liezietsu. He further went on hit out at Manipur chief minister, O. Ibobi Singh accusing him of “playing a communal card for political gains.” He said people living in the hills and the valley has been and would continue to live together as neighbours.” (Cont’d on p-8)

NTAC exposes T.R. Zeliang, Yitachu DIMAPUR, MAR 2 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Action Committee (NTAC) had hit out at T.R.Zeliang for his statement made at the NPF campaign in Manipur adding it was not surprised at the author of the inequitable who being hard pressed had trivialised people’s demand for him to step down on moral ground. NTAC through its media cell hit out at T.R. Zeliang for stating in his campaign speech, that he was forced to step down just because he belonged to a minority tribe. It said that after being unable to assimilate his own scheming any further, the “dislodged chief minister” spewed it out at Tamenglong on February 28 and in the process “letting the cat out of the bag” at how he had been audaciously employing all possible means to cling to the chair. Ultimately, when all these failed, NTAC said T.R. Zeliang had to step down but then passed the buck on tribal organisations on the

same line which his supporters have been second fiddling. NTAC reminded T.R.Zeliang that he was asked to step down by the people of Nagaland to own moral responsibility for the loss of lives after declaration of ULB elections under his government. NTAC said while vowing to hold ULB elections, T.R.Zeliang on January 30,2017 warned apex tribal organisations who have called for state-wide bandh that his government will conduct polls at any cost and under any circumstances and warned that security personnel would take action on the spot at those attempting to disturb the polling on February 1,2017. It was because of “such distasteful action” that the people of Nagaland deemed as the “high command” and whose “voices are supreme in democracy”, rejected T.R.Zeliang but not because he hailed form a minority tribe, said NTAC. NTAC reiterated, there is no

different categorisation among all recognised tribes of Nagaland as T.R. Zeliang “might in his wildest imaginations naively think” which even the “sympathetic nods” of people of Manipur, cannot change this fact in Nagaland. NTAC hit out saying such absurdity cannot earn respect but only by valuing life and acceptable to the people. Therefore, said NTAC, a “renegade-like legislator deposed as chief minister” under prevailing circumstances cannot be repentant but conclude that “the grapes are sour after all.” However, NTAC said the most unfortunate aspect for Zeliang was not his ousting from a position but by his “own incorrect utterance of a self-demeaning statement” which damaged his esteem and unbecoming of a statesman, especially one who had been a chief minister. Flabbergasted: NTAC said it was “flabbergasted by the blabbermouth state-

ments” by T.R.Zeliang and minister education Yitachu in Manipur that the Centre offered central forces to contain the protestors in Nagaland to hold on to power. NTAC disclosed that the actual content of the reply from the Centre to T.R. Zeliang’s official request to the union home minister on February 9,2017 (and a copy of which was available with NTAC) portrayed a “disappointingly opposite story”. According to NTAC, the Centre indicated its total disinclination to interfere in the state which had also been articulated by MoS home Kiren Rijiju to NDTV that the ongoing movement in Nagaland was “an internal issue” and ruled out any intervention since law and order was a state subject. NTAC reiterated that all the hardships that had happened to the people of Nagaland would not have taken place had T.R. Zeliang (Cont’d on p-8)

DIMAPUR, MAR 2 (NPN): Hitting back at NPCC following its attack on former chief minister T.R. Zeliang over his speech at election rally in Tamenglong, the NPF Central said that Zeliang had only revealed the fact how Congress chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh has been clinging to power by using Central and State security forces available at his disposal in turning out the whole State into a war-zone like environment. In a press statement, NPF media and press bureau asked NPCC that if handling of ULB election was a fiasco, then what about the Congress party, which decided to fight the election in the first place? However, NPF alleged that the Congress withdrew from the scene quietly and maintained a deafening silence since there were no party ticket seekers. NPF also demanded that NPCC should clarify to the people on what “extenuating circumstances” compelled the Congress to act so hypocritically in the first place, and how their resolution to support and participate in the ULB elections was turned down by their high command? NPF reminded NPCC that the culture of capitulating before the high command was alien to Naga people unlike Congress party leaders, who “penitent position is their most favoured position when in Delhi”. With regard to T.R. Zeliang’s resignation as CM, NPF reiterated that he was compelled to step down for the sake of peace and tranquillity despite having numbers as outside forces resorted to violent and “morbid methods for the political benefits of a few vested interests”. Therefore, NPF asked Congress party that if it was so keen to respond to the political speeches of the NPF leaders in Manipur, they should go to Manipur and campaign for their party candidates? But unfortunately, Congress party in the State have not been invited to address even a single election campaign by their counterparts in Manipur, and therefore, they have no other option but to resort to armchair politicking, claimed NPF.

In a release NSSATA Kohima Unit president Kedolhoulie Neya and general secretary Melhouvonuo stated that on meeting the officers, the executives were informed that salary for only two months along with arrears could be released as the government received less amount from the central government with a reason that “ministry were in facing shortage of funds”. However NSSATA said the statement that ministry facing such shortage and not being able to pay the salaries of the employees was “a total gibberish, hogwash and a total nonsense” and said the department and state government were yet again trying to fool the teachers.It added that central government was all prepared to release the amount as long as “Utilization Certificate” of the previous allocation were forwarded to the MHRD and questioned the delay in submitting the UCs despite the repeated appeals, memorandums, press release and

demanded the reason for the delay in submitting the UC. NSSATA has appealed the state government to release all the pending salaries from November 2016 till date and DA from January 2016 to December 2016 without delay and reminded to immediately pay their salaries regularly henceforth as the nature of appointment of the SSA teachers was regular and on par with the other state government employees. NSSATA Mon unit: NSSATA Mon unit has asked the state government to release all pending salaries and arrears by the first week of March 2017, else it would resort to phase-wise agitation.

Hapwang and general secretary, Joseph Yomat has also appealed the new state government to be sincere with the written assurance given on November 2, 2016 for timely release of SSA teachers’ salaries.

A ﬁghter, an inspiration, a ray of hope, Gone from us today but he was always ready to cope. To cope with all circumstances, big or small, All he did was survive without a fall.

Jats rally warns of Parliament siege

Members from Jat Community during a rally organised by All India Jat Aarakshan Sangarash Samiti (AIJSS) at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Thursday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (IANS): Several thousand Jats from various states held a rally at Jantar Mantar here on Thursday to press their demands, and announced they would intensify their stir in Delhi, even laying siege to Parliament on March 20. Several demonstrators were detained after they tried to break through police barricades on Parliament Street. T h e A l l - I n d i a Ja t Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS), spearheading the agitation, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party governments in Haryana and at the Centre of being “insensitive” to their demands,

which include reservation in government jobs and educational institutions. Agitating groups of Jat community members from neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Punjab, besides those from Delhi, are also demanding jobs to the next of kin of those killed in the 2016 violent Jat agitation in Haryana, withdrawal of cases registered against the Jats, and action against officers involved in using force against them. The AIJASS, which resumed agitation across Haryana from January 29, said it will step up the stir to “wake up” the Manohar Lal Khattar government in

Haryana and the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. “We have been peacefully demonstrating for the last 33 days, but the state and central governments have remained insensitive to our demands,” AIJASS President Yashpal Malik said. “To wake up the governments, we will launch a massive campaign on March 20,” Malik said, adding that the community was prepared for “a long-drawn battle” and that essential supplies to the national capital are likely to be affected. “It is for the government to come out with a solution; but we feel they don’t want

a solution. We are ready for a long-drawn battle and this march is an announcement on this,” said Malik, adding that over 50 lakh Jats from 13 states will join the stir. The agitators later marched towards Parliament and submitted a memorandum to authorities on their seven-point demands, to be forwarded to both President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police R.P. Meena said around 4,000-5,000 persons particpated in the agitation and many were detained when they tried to break through the barricades near Parliament. The Jats are also demanding action against Haryana’s Bharatiya Janata Party MP Raj Kumar Saini for his alleged anti-Jat statements during last year’s agitation. Violence during the February 2016 agitation by the Jats across several districts in Haryana left 30 people dead and over 200 injured. Government and private properties worth hundreds of crore were also damaged and destroyed.

You cannot barge on another person’s right.” Lady Shri Ram College student Gurmehar Kaur had last week launched a social media campaign against the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) which had forced the cancellation of a seminar at Ramjas College over the participation of a controversial JNU student Umar Khalid on February 21. The next day, ABVP activists were blamed for attacking students, teachers and journalists in the campus, triggering widespread condemnation. Khalid was jailed last year on sedition charges for allegedly shouting antinational slogans.

Tensions rise as RSS leader calls for Kerala CM’s murder

T H I RU VA NA N THAPURAM, MAR 2 (IANS): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan declared on Thursday he was not bothered by a RSS leader’s offer of Rs 1 crore to have him killed, but the CPI-M warned the RSS to behave. And even as the Kerala units of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) distanced themselves from Madhya Pradesh RSS leader Kundan Chandrawat’s threat on Wednesday, the latter on Thursday said he did not regret making the remarks. “The RSS in the past has taken the heads of others but I have to move around, and I will,” Vijayan, who took power in May last year, said in his characteristic style and broke into a laugh. The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) announced protests on Friday across Kerala and demanded that a case be

registered against Chandrawat on terrorism charges. “The true colour of the RSS has come out again,” the CPI-M said in a statement. CPI-M Kerala Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said the RSS won’t be able to “remove even a hair of Vijayan” and warned the organisation “not to play with the CPI-M”. “If they do, then we will be forced to teach them certain things.” Opposition leader and Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said the RSS

leader should be immediately arrested. CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence after Chandrawat’s announcement of a bounty to have Vijayan beheaded. Holding Vijayan responsible for the killing of 300 RSS activists in Kerala, Chandrawat said on Wednesday he will give away his entire property worth over Rs 1 crore to whoever kills the Marxist veteran.

Nationalism a bad word only in India: Arun Jaitley

how can such forces be behind in the Uttar Pradesh elections, and so all this is happening,” the senior BJP leader added. During an event in London last week, Jaitley said that freedom of speech does not extend to “assaulting a nation’s sovereignty” and that some universities were now home to an “alliance of subversion” between those on the ultra-left, and those with a separatist agenda.

VARANASI, MAR 2 (IANS): Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that “nationalism was a good word” across the world though it may be a controversial topic in India, days after he blamed an “alliance of subversion” for university campus violence. Re s p o n d i n g t o a pointed question at a press conference in the temple town, on the ongoing controversy around nationalism, the senior BJP leader, who himself started his career as a student leader, said that these things were raked up at the time of elections deliberately. “Nationalism is a good word, ye toh kewal iss desh mein hai ki rashtravad bura shabd hai (It is only in this country that nationalsim is a bad word),” said Jaitley. “We never started the debate but will definitely respond to the issue as per our state ideology and stand,” he said. “During the Delhi polls there were false reports of attacks on Churches in the capital, then during the Bihar elections ‘award waapsi’ started, so

Modi is all talk, no work, says Rahul Gandhi

DP-1898

Gorakhpur, March 2 (IANS): Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not fulfilling any of his promises made for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Addressing a public rally here, the Congress leader said that all that the Prime Minister has done in the last three years is “talk useless things” and do nothing. “Modi ji had promised to give two crore jobs per year. Has this happened,” Gandhi asked before the cheering crowds. Adding that the Prime Minister had no connect with the poor and farmers, the Gandhi scion urged the people to vote for the Congress-Samajwadi Party (SP) alliance so that their lives can be changed for good. “I have taken out a kisan yatra from Deoria to Delhi and I know that farmers of the country are in bad shape...all this needs to change and this can only happen if the alliance is voted to power in Uttar Pradesh,” he said.

Complacent syndrome

t was not a surprise but certainly a cause for deep concern when the World Meteorological Organisation revealed that after 2016 recorded the warmest period for the third year, the trend will continue and which means that 2017 will have ‘above normal’ temperature. The Earth’s temperature has been monitored since the recordkeeping began in 1880s. People in general have understood the principle of global warming as a phenomenon of the planet earth becoming warmer which has led to large tracts of the polar ice melting. That has led to questioning of the theory of green house effect that was supposed to be responsible for global warming. However, when climatologists speak of changing weather pattern and its resultant effect in throwing nature’s weather out of gear; it means that the nature is no longer in control and therefore it has gone out of control. The Earth’s positive imbalance between emissions and absorption results in the continuing growth in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. According to the UN panel’s draft report, greenhouse gases must be cut 40 to 70 percent within 36 years to prevent cataclysmic environmental changes, and urges an immediate shift away from coal-fired power plants towards promotion of renewable energy sources. As a first step, the panel said nations should replace coal-fired power plants with natural gas-fired, like nuclear power, and renewable power generation, such as solar power and wind electricity generation. In its summer forecast for the season (March to May) this year, the India Meteorological Department has predicted ‘above normal’ temperature across the country - at least up to June - even as January was recorded as the eighth warmest in 116 years. The IMD said that several states are likely to witness heat wave conditions and that the northwest region of the country would be the worst affected with temperatures of more than one degree Celsius above normal. According to IMD, the term “above normal” means that temperatures could rise up to 1˚C and likely to prevail over all meteorological sub-divisions of the country, except the northwest India where temperatures are likely to be more than 1˚C above normal. It also means that the “above normal” temperature in India will occur over “core heatwave zone” that include- Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Telangana. For those who have been following the aftermath of hot monsoon months, it would be a repeat of the annual onset of spread of infectious diseases like dengue or chikungunya. These are the number one cause for the problems that humans faced today. Till a few decades back Nagaland possessed rich biodiversity but today mindless destruction of forests and denudation of the land has created an unwholesome environment even as rivers are slowly losing much of the water and also extinction of varieties of aquatic life due to poison used for fishing. The area under forest cover which the National Forest Policy 1988 stipulated should expand to one third of the total land area is less than ten percent of the total land area. What needs to be understood is that environmental quality is no longer a matter of sentiment but a matter of survival.

DailyDevotion Have You Felt the Pain Inflicted by the Lord? He said to him the third time, “…do you love Me?” —John 21:17 Have you ever felt the pain, inflicted by the Lord, at the very center of your being, deep down in the most sensitive area of your life? The devil never inflicts pain there, and neither can sin nor human emotions. Nothing can cut through to that part of our being but the Word of God. “Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’” Yet he was awakened to the fact that at the center of his personal life he was devoted to Jesus. And then he began to see what Jesus’ patient questioning meant. There was not the slightest bit of doubt left in Peter’s mind; he could never be deceived again. And there was no need for an impassioned response; no need for immediate action or an emotional display. It was a revelation to him to realize how much he did love the Lord, and with amazement he simply said, “Lord, You know all things….” Peter began to see how very much he did love Jesus, and there was no need to say, “Look at this or that as proof of my love.” Peter was beginning to discover within himself just how much he really did love the Lord. He discovered that his eyes were so fixed on Jesus Christ that he saw no one else in heaven above or on the earth below. But he did not know it until the probing, hurting questions of the Lord were asked. The Lord’s questions always reveal the true me to myself. Oh, the wonder of the patient directness and skill of Jesus Christ with Peter! Our Lord never asks questions until the perfect time. Rarely, but probably once in each of our lives, He will back us into a corner where He will hurt us with His piercing questions. Then we will realize that we do love Him far more deeply than our words can ever say.

Quotes

I attribute my success to this I never gave or took any excuse. ~ Florence Nightingale

had received a written ‘explanatory note with an implied threat’ from Naga Ho Ho sometime during the last month for referring to them as ‘Naga Ha Ha’ in some of my earlier writings. They had given me a time frame to explain...’within one week’ who I was referring to as ‘Naga Ha Ha’...as if they did not understand. At the risk of being excommunicated from the Tangkhul territory, I felt it beneath my sense of propriety to respond...so I did not respond...but I do so now on hindsight for an entirely different reason: to try and engage the minds of the Nagas of Nagaland to rediscover our true identity with ‘honourable pride and dignity’ ... at least in our own backyard if not elsewhere. Now, what would it take for the Nagas of Nagaland to really recognise the need to restore Naga Ho Ho as our own vibrant Apex Tribal Body that it once used to be, rather than continue tolerating this embarrassingly adulterated caricature of an organisation in our midst in its present redundant form? What would it take for the Nagas of Nagaland to really learn from history and begin asserting our own thinking process independently rather than rely on extraneous irrelevant wisdom from elsewhere and also begin shouldering legitimate responsibilities on our common internal issues of interest? This is not an exercise of trying to vindictively single out or segregate one Tribe or the other. It is more to do with pragmatically dealing with our ground realities. Naga Ho Ho was originally born as a child of a collective conviction of all the Apex Tribal Ho Hos of Nagaland to try and harness the strength our collective leadership. Can we seriously activate our thought process and absorb this one factual beginning? We lost our steering compass somewhere along the way...albeit with all good intentions. We opened the ‘membership floodgate’ of Naga Ho Ho beyond our immediate geographical boundary without any set criteria. This was capitalised upon by our neighbouring brothers from Manipur, predominantly from the Tangkhul Tribe, and allowed history to repeat itself. Take a factual look at what happened in the Naga National Movement (NNM) arena: Late Mr. Suisa’s handpicked few Tangkhul brothers, (who joined the NNM at a much later date after the deadly storm of death and destruction had visited almost every Naga family in Nagaland in the hands of the Indian Army), instantaneously became important Cox in the NNC/FGN infrastructure by virtue of their educational qualification. Cracks then began to slowly emerge with a Tribal tinge within FGN where cohesion was the hallmark during the war before their arrival. The fact that Nagas of Nagaland were the original people who actively initiated the dreams of Naga freedom has now become inconsequential. Without going into details, today ‘they’ are the ones in absolute control to arbitrarily decide the fate of the Nagas of Nagaland without declaring the contents of their ‘secret pact’ with the GoI.

Now check out the similarity even in our ‘overground’ situation. As soon as the Tangkhuls along with other Tribes from Manipur joined the Naga Ho Ho, it was ENPO, the Apex Ho Ho of our so-called “Eastern Underdeveloped Region”, who honestly expressed their inability to stomach the overwhelmingly unregulated influx of a strange arrogant diet from South of the border and officially walked out from Naga Ho Ho. Despite their so-called “Backwardness” they were the ones who sensitively displayed our ancestral sense of dignity and self-respect while the so-called “Forward” Tribes slept on. It resulted in the remaining Nagas of Nagaland becoming a minority within our own kitchen. With the further dissociation of Aos, Lothas and the Sumi Tribes from the Naga Ho Ho, we have now achieved the status of an absolute minority within “our” very own original organization. The story of the “Camel and the Arab” has literally been re-enacted in our own backyard without our realisation...the Naga Tribes from Nagaland are the Arabs out in the cold; The Camels being our Southern brothers, comfortably settled within “our” tent. Ask yourselves: With what misplaced analogy are the remaining remnants of our few major and minor Tribes from Nagaland still keeping company with the Camel that has only shown a very sharp and sensitive focus on what is happening in Manipur while remaining silently detached and uninvolved when Nagaland was burning over the recent ULB election fiasco? This is pathetically unbecoming! At this juncture, we must make a dispassionate effort to positively direct our thoughts in the right direction very pragmatically. Naga National Movement is a very complex proposition critically needing all Naga hands on deck. It is in this context that an Apex Ho Ho like a “Pan Naga Ho Ho” becomes absolutely relevant...encompassing equal representation of all our Naga Tribes from Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur including even Myanmar (though not physically possible at this juncture). However, instead of creating a fresh establishment to specifically coordinate important subjects of physical and emotional ‘integration’ of all Nagas, we the gullible Nagas of Nagaland did not even notice the surreptitious takeover of our “Naga Ho Ho” by others and convert it into a meaningless half-measure organization of neither this nor that. Firstly, though it ought to have rightly been called “Pan Naga Ho Ho”, it does not really qualify to be named as such, under the present membership status, because it does not represent any of our Nagas Tribes from other neighbouring States...except for Manipur. Secondly, the present ‘Naga Ho Ho’ was ill at ease to get directly involved in any internal affairs of Nagaland because of its ‘out-of-state majority composition’. Nagas are not in the habit of taking advice from unknown strangers even if they are Nagas. Any advice or directives emanating from the present Naga Ho Ho is unlikely to find receptivity from the majority

of our Tribal Apex Ho Hos of Nagaland who have withdrawn from it. A stark example of earlier helpless ineffectiveness of our present Naga Ho Ho was seen during the ‘Mukalimi incident’ even though it had bigger presence of Nagas of Nagaland within it at that time. Their complete redundancy was further proven during the very recent ‘ULB election fiasco’. Thirdly, without meaning any disrespect to our departed Leader Inothi Isak Chishi Swu, he honourably shouldered the responsibility of fronting the larger Naga frame together during his lifetime while the crucial policies were by-and-large dictated by Ino Muivah. In a similar but very dishonourable way, the present Naga Ho Ho is being fronted by Ino Ozukum from Nagaland even after being disowned by his own Ao Tribe and simply following the dictates of the ‘South’...supporting the economic blockade of Manipur and giving full unreserved support to UNC against the creation of additional Hill Districts in Manipur and giving blind endorsement to the “Framework Agreement” even if the contents are unknown. The present Naga Ho Ho has most unfortunately become a mere mouthpiece of NSCN (IM) at the expense of Nagas of Nagaland. In short this organisation has really become the laughing stoke of the century in as far as the Nagas of Nagaland are concerned. It is therefore a tailormade situation of being referred to as Naga Ha Ha. Given the above true scenario it makes sense for all the remaining Naga Tribes to withdraw from the present “Naga Ho Ho” and join hands to reform it under an appropriate nomenclature as “Pan Naga Ho Ho” with equal Tribal representation from all our Naga inhabited regions of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland including Myanmar. It is only then that “Pan Naga Ho Ho” will be in a position to command some respect on common issues such as “Integration”. This would then relieve the present messed up identity of Naga Ho Ho to the Nagas of Nagaland exclusively to strengthen and rejuvenate it to its former status of respect within Nagaland. Nagas of Nagaland would then be able to revive this platform to voice the sentiment of the people as it should have during the ULB issue instead of forcing the Nagas to find an impromptu JCC and NTAC... who fortunately have contributed a yeomen service to the people. Stating a comparative analysis bluntly in conclusion, our Tangkhul brothers have an independent UNC in Manipur rightly spearheading their Tribal issues within their State of Manipur and beyond even as they swallow Naga Ho Ho with their majority. The Nagas of Nagaland on the other end lost the voice that they had owned earlier while craftily being deprived of a platform to deal with our own internal affairs. This is stupidity personified that needs to be taken to the workshop for major repair. Khekiye K. Sema IAS (Retd.); Upper Forest Colony; Kohima; (kksema@gmail.com)

The paean song of RTI 2005. Turns cacophony

n cordial with the right to information act 2005 India, the Nagaland information commission was constituted on 14th March 2006 vide govt. order No.AR-3/GEN-147/2005 on the recommendation of the appointment committee constituted in term of section 15(3) of the right information act and under the provision of section 15(1)&(2) the former governor of Nagaland Shri. Shyamal Datta administered the oath of office for greater transparency in public domain. The ideology and its conceptualization was India being one of the most corruptive country in all levels and to rein in the unrefined corruption this noble idea called RTI. ((Right to information) was put to ordinance and had ratified by all the states and union territories in the country of India. The exhaustive RTI act covers all the public domain that manned by authority personals/ bureaucrat who are liable to question through RTI appealing procedure by any organization, NGO, or individual who is a citizen of India if there be found any discrepancy where, the appellate authority is bound to furnish in electronic or written statement within 30 days and can re-appeal within 40 day and 90 days respectively. However sadly, it is learnt that the very act becomes a tool of self gratification for some here in Nagaland where, hundreds of RTI lost its steam in the process except ACAUT and some righteous social workers/activists who truly protect the interest of the public. Here how the system has be conveniently exploited for self gratification and how it should be overcome through public debate on the matter. No wonder there are some unscrupulous blacksheep who are adversely innovative in exploiting the loopholes in every system and no exception in the case of RTI as well who tend to play the part of angel in the garb of sheep clothing had completely stymied the system that ultimately defeated the very purpose. The operandy that played into the core of the system has it that; taking advantage of the appealability by individual within the ambit of the RTI act 2005, where, many self interest persons submit their application through information commission to the appellate authority of a

Review of Modi’s Manipur speech

aving minutely observed Narendra Modi’s speech at Imphal recently and given an incisive scrutiny, one is left wondering as to the personae of Modi either as the honourable Prime Minister of India or merely a communal BJP activist. Lambasting all the way, the Congress Chief Minister of Manipur, Ibobi Singh for all the ills and sufferings in Manipur, blaming Singh and congress even for the persistent bandh, while promising the people of Manipur that every existing ailments including the bandh would immediately be remedied and Manipuris would be highly uplifted and will be made to lead the entire North East region but only if BJP is voted to power. It is extremely preposterous on the part of

honourable Prime Minister of India to singularly relate to the people purely on the basis of party affiliation. As the PM of India, he is duty bound to intervene and assist in resolving the issues grievously affecting the state and the people of Manipur, on the contrary putting the entire onus on a particular political party and pledging to assist only if Manipur people choose BJP is an act of disgrace to the highest office of the country. As the Chief Minister of Gujarat for many years, Modi must have known that every state has it’s own unique features and complications, likewise, Manipur is a minor state in terms of size and population but the problems are ex-proportionate due to it’s divergent ethnicity and caste composition. The ethnic issues are mostly the

creation of GOI and Modi should have been earnest on this sensitive issues and commit the prestigious potency of the PM’s office in resolving the issues. Modi may be a skilled crowd pulling orator and a star BJP campaigner, however, as long as he holds the office of the PM of India, he should have the decency to maintain the dignity of the office and avoid rash emotional appeal for the temporal political gain of a particular party he is affiliated to. All the applaud of the crowd for his comments thus appears short lived and meant only for the short term electoral benefits of the BJP and nothing substantive or long term positive assurance was dedicated to the State of Manipur by the Prime Minister of India. M a n i p u r h av i n g

beleaguered with acute ethnic strain, the people of the state had set highest expectations from the Prime Minister of India to deliver substantial goods, however, to their utter dismay, Modi came and spoke as the spokesperson of BJP party on electoral tour. The party politics and communal agendas openly played out by the PM of India in an ethnic strife torn Manipur state would only incense communal tension and add fuel to the burning fire. Such malicious presentation of the Prime Minister of India should never be allowed to spread beyond the state of Manipur for it bears the potential to contaminate and provoke ethnic tensions and create more unwanted communal dis-harmony in the region.

certain department requesting to provide information for project or appointment or utilization of fund sanctioned etc. whereas here when pushed to the wall with hard evidences, there comes a lot of nasty negotiations through coercing the petitioners with certain percentages of the total amount involved in the case. Thus, thereby the petitioner whimsically withdrew the petition or humble down to any justification prompted by the appellate authorities. That’s how most of the RTI application lost its virtue to the bogus cops. True, there are real cops and bogus cops where, an organization like ACAUT who transparently pursue the case and putting up its finding in public domain through electronic or printmedia exposing the fact and figures to its logical conclusion is the real cop whereas, hundreds of RTI cases filed by individual frequently failed to surface in public domain are the bogus cops who, share the loots with the corruptive authorities. Re m e m b e r, a t o o l that plough your field also capable of digging your grave called spade and the very RTI here seems to be behaving adversely like a fence that eats the crop can be a thing serious concern for the public to ruminate upon. Nevertheless, it is in the knowledge of many intellectuals and suspects something amiss but no one likes to create a raucous for no personal gain. However this mess cannot be entangled with the information commissioner and his good office for they are licitly following the act and disposing the case as per the version statement of the petitioner and the appellate authorities. Therefore, it is imperative and prudent that the matter be put before the public for comprehensive debate so as to seal the loopholes with preemptive measure that will ultimately sharpen the tooth of the RTI or else it’s becoming a toothless tiger. However, please take note that the writer of this article has no obligation to point out any person or department or has any inclination with any political party or organization whatsoever nor answerable to any authority therein.

It’s high time Nagaland wake up to reality

Sir,

When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild (Pro: 29: 18). Is this happening in Nagaland? Nagas, where are we heading to? Are we not so confused?. Something is terribly wrong in our land. Where is our faith? Where is our trust today? Yesterday we were shouting Nagaland for Christ, some say power comes from the barrel of a gun. I think that’s weird, power comes only through the Lord God Jehovah, who is the Almighty, the God of Israel, Nagaland and the creator of the whole universe. Dear fellow Nagas, if we still think Nagaland is for Christ then let us be very honest with ourselves first and let the Lord find integrity in every one of us. Finally let us start a fresh by putting Christ then only our society will be healed. And truly become a Christian country (desired goal of every Nagas) where every citizens reflecting the character of our Lord Jesus. No more playing games Nagas, the word of God says, He takes no pleasure in the strength of horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear in Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love (Psalm: 147: 10: 11) Levi Kikhi (Avi), A concerned Naga

(From p-1) “in the first place, listened to the voice of the people and stepped down gracefully.” Hitting out, NTAC said T.R. Zeliang’s stand that he stepped down for the sake of peace and harmony in the state was a “red-herring” which has no takers. Moreover, NTAC held minister School Education Yitachu responsible for giving “wrong legal advice” and being vociferously advocating the basis over which the government went ahead with the ULB elections against the wishes of the people. Further, it said the government under T.R. Zeliang had also miserably failed in its role and responsibility of fulfilling the constitutional obligation vis-à-vis safeguarding Article 371A. NTAC hit out at T.R. Zeliang and Yitachu saying that their participation in someone else’s state election campaign and engaging in “dishonest rhetoric on the sequence of events in one’s own state” that were responsible for the recent crisis of failure were idiotic and irrelevant. Thus, statements of T.R. Zeliang and Yitachu were only “speechifying frustration and negative mind-frame of petrified legislators” added NTAC.

New Delhi, Mar 2 (PTI): The Goods and Services Tax (GST) levy may go up to 40 % after the GST Council proposed raising the peak rate in the Bill to 20 %, from the current 14 %, to obviate the need for approaching Parliament for any change in rates in future. The model Goods and Services Tax Bill will replace the clause which states the tax rate “not exceeding 14 %, with “not exceeding 20 %” when it comes up for debate in Parliament during the second phase of Budget session beginning next week. The change in the peak rate will not alter the 4-slab rate structure of 5, 12, 18 and 28 % agreed upon last year for the moment, but is only a provision being built into the model law to take care of contingencies in future, two officials in the know told PTI. The revised draft of model GST law, which was made public in November 2016, provides for a maximum rate of tax under the new regime at 14 per cent (14 % central GST and an equal state GST, taking the total to 28 %).

(From p-1) It said students that “we try to mould today”, needed to be moulded and guided in the right direction with a sense of duty and values. In this regard, the forum stressed the need for the society, church, government, civil society and individuals to introspect. NCPF also called upon the academia to think critically and express their thoughts fearlessly, adding that “our society needs direction.” It maintained that their teaching and research in humanities and science must be made applicable and relevant. Further, NCPF urged the Church to make Bible and the pulpit relevant. It also called upon law makers to make fair laws based on truth and justice and act within the ambit of the law. The forum appealed to the judiciary to be blind while weighing the scales of justice. It called upon each citizen to stand by a principle of core values. And lastly, it urged all educational institutions including schools, church and NGOs to collectively reenergise the campaign for clean elections.

(From p-1) He said NPF was for peace and would continue to play for peace. “We want to live in complete harmony with all our neighbours,” he said and appealed to the voters to ensure that the NPF candidates were elected. Echoing, Dr. Liezietsu Nagaland minister in-charge of NPF Manipur, Yitachu said “NPF is not participating in the Manipur elections just for the sake of participating, but we are serious on finding a solution to the Naga political problem.” Yitachu went on to recall how in 1964, NPF party, then known as Democratic Party of Nagaland, sacrificed its 12 MLAs after the ceasefire agreement was signed between the government of India and the NNC/FGN by making all of its MLAs resign from the Assembly “to pave way for a negotiated settlement.”Yitachu pointed out that the Congress party in Manipur had let down the hills people all these years and said that Congress was going to lose the polls because of Ibobi and the party’s policy against the Naga peace process and for its policy against tribal people. Also addressing the election rally at Ukhrul, Nagaland Roads & Bridges minister, Vikheho Swu hit out at the Congress government for failing to prove its commitment despite ruling Manipur for a long period. He said people needed a stable, people sensitive and a visionary government in Manipur. Vikheho said the people of Ukhrul district were the most enlightened people amongst the hill tribes of Manipur. He also acknowledged the four MLAs for taking the historic decision, to resign in protest against People visiting the newly inaugurated Tata Motors spare parts the three anti-tribal bills passed by the Manipur Assembly.

Jeff Sessions

That statement did not satisfy Democrats who even before Wednesday had sought his recusal from the ongoing federal investigation and had raised questions about whether he could properly oversee it. Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, accused Sessions of “lying under oath” and demanded that he resign. Other Democrats called on him to step aside from the investigation. In a statement Wednesday night, Sessions said, “I

never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.” Sessions had more than 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors last year in his role as a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and had two separate interactions with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, the department said. One was a visit in September in his capacity as a senator, similar to meetings with envoys from Britain, China, Germany and other nations, the department said. The other occurred in a group setting following a Heritage Foundation speech that Sessions gave during the summer, when several ambassadors — including the Russian ambassador — approached Sessions after the talk as he was leaving the stage.

WASHINGTON, FEB 2 (AGENCIES): Attorney General Jeff Sessions had two conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential campaign season last year, contact that immediately fuelled calls for him to recuse himself from a Justice Department investigation into Russian interference in the election. Sessions, an early supporter of President Donald Trump and a policy adviser to the Republican candidate, did not disclose those communications at his confirmation hearing in January when asked what he would do if “anyone affiliated” with the campaign had been in contact with the Russian government. Sessions answered that he had not had communication with the Russians. Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said Wednesday night that “there was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer.”

EXAMINATION NOTICE FOR GRADE-III OF NAGALAND JUDICIAL SERVICE

KUALA LUMPUR, MAR 2 (AP): A North Korean man will be released from custody because of lack of evidence connecting him to the fatal nerve agent attack on Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half brother of North Korea’s ruler, Malaysian officials said today. In a major fallout from the assassination, Malaysia also announced it was scrapping visa-free travel for North Koreans. Officials never said why they arrested Ri Jong Chol four days after Kim was attacked at Kuala Lumpur’s bustling airport. Today, Malaysian Attorney General Mohamad Apandi Ali said Ri will be released and deported because he does not have valid travel documents. The attack was caught on grainy security camera footage that showed two women smearing something on Kim’s face as he waited for a flight in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian officials say the substance was VX ner ve agent, a banned chemical weapon.

In the House of Lords, May’s Conservative Party does not command a majority.The amendment backed by the Lords requires the government to introduce proposals within three months of Article 50 to ensure EU citizens in the UK have the same residence rights after Brexit. However, the government’s defeat in the Lords could prove a symbolic one as MPs can remove the amendment when it

the month deadline to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which will trigger the two-year deadline for Brexit negotiations. MPs have already backed the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill without amendments and can remove the Lords’ amendment when they vote on it again later this month. The government is said to be confident of defeating the changes to the bill in the Commons. Jeremy Corbyn, the Opposition Labour leader who ordered his MPs to support the bill unamended when it went through the Commons, described the result of the Lords vote as “great news”, raising the possibility that he might tell his MPs to back the amendment in the Lower House. “The Gover nment must now do the decent thing and guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the UK,” he said.

The Department for Exiting the EU said: “We are disappointed the Lords have chosen to amend a bill that the Commons passed without amendment. “The bill has a straightforward purpose to enact the referendum result and allow the government to get on with the negotiations.” May has said that any guarantee of the rights of EU nationals must be part of a deal protecting UK expats overseas. The amendment backed by the Lords requires the government to introduce proposals within three months of Article 50 to ensure EU citizens in the UK have the same residence rights after Brexit.

Barcelona pummel Sporting 6-1; Real held

Messi competes for the ball with Sergio Alvarez.

Ba rc e lo na , M a r 2 (IANS): FC Barcelona routed lowly Sporting Gijon 6-1 in a game that was short on drama.

Federer stunned by world 116 Donskoy in Dubai DUBAI, Mar 2 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : Ro ge r Federer squandered three match points and fell to a shock 3-6, 7-6 (9/7), 7-6 (7/5) defeat to Russian world number 116 Evgeny Donskoy in Dubai on Wednesday. Former world number one Federer, 35, who lifted his 18th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, had match points in the second set tiebreak and also led 5-1 in the thirdset breaker. But qualifier Donskoy, 26, battled back to shock the third seed and set up a quarter-final clash against Lucas Pouille of France.

Barcelona were scarcely troubled at Camp Nou here by a team in d a n ge r o f r e l e g a t i o n , getting the opening goal

from Argentine superstar Lionel Messi just eight minutes into the contest and a second goal three minutes later. Sporting clawed one back in the 21st minute on a goal by striker Carlos Castro, but Barcelona quickly shrugged off that temporary setback when a mistake by defender JeanSylvain Babin set up Luis Suarez for a goal off a volley shortly. Barcelona then piled on in the second half with three more goals, the most remarkable of which was a sublime free kick from a tight angle by Neymar in the 66th minute.

With the win, Barcelona moved into first place in the La Liga standings with 57 points and sur prisingly were not leapfrogged by Real Madrid, who had to rally for a 3-3 draw Wednesday night against Las Palmas. The Blancos appeared to be headed for an easy victory at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium when they got a goal in just the eighth minute from Isco. But Las Palmas answered two minutes later

with a powerful right-footed strike by midfielder Tana and kept the hosts off the scoreboard for the rest of the first half. The real drama started shortly after halftime when Gareth Bale lost his cool and got sent off for shoving Las Palmas midfielder Jonathan Viera. The game was tied at that point, but Viera made it 2-1 when he converted a penalty opportunity in the 56th minute. After that Ghanaian midfielder Kevin-Prince

Boateng scored an insurance goal four minutes later when he tapped the ball away from Navas on a breakaway opportunity and then fired into an empty net. Things looked bleak for the home side, but Cristiano Ronaldo demonstrated all of his class in converting a penalty try in the 87th minute and then scoring the equalizer two minutes later on a header that Las Palmas net minder Javi Varas could only deflect into the roof of the net.

Man City through to FA Cup qtr-final Sheikh finishes sixth at Shooting WC Bunn, who was on the books of Manchester City as a youngster, drilled a low finish from Philip Billing’s lay-off through City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and into the back of the net, to the joy of the 7,200 Terriers fans who had made the short trip down the M62. But City roared back with three goals in eight minutes against a team that had not previously conceded in 299 minutes of FA Cup football this season. Leroy Sane netted the first on the half-hour mark with a tap-in from inside of the six-yard box from Raheem Sterling’s cross from the right, then Sergio Aguero gave Pep Guardiola’s side the lead on 35 minutes from the penalty spot following a Jon Gorenc Stankovic foul on Nicolas Otamendi.

And Pablo Zabaleta made it 3-1 on 38 minutes with an angled finish from Aguero’s set-up, to all but kill off the tie. Aguero made it four goals in two games, and 22 goals for the season, with a brilliant near-post finish on 72 minutes from Sterling’s inch-perfect cross from the right flank. And Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to net City’s fifth in injury-time from fellow substitute Jesus Navas’ low cross from the right channel. City will travel to the Riverside to take on Aitor Karanka’s side in the quarter-final on 11 March, four days before their Champions League last16 second leg in Monaco, where they will defend a 5-3 lead against Leonardo Jardim’s Ligue Un side.
