Empower farmers for economic growth, says Governor Acharya Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , M AY 8 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, PB Acharya, has called for empowering farmers with “knowledge and scientific technology” so as to enhance the economy of the state.

Governor said this while addressing farmers and officials during field day cum farmers’-scientist interaction on “crop diversification for enhancing cropping intensity in rice fallow land through resource conser vation technology with special reference to Nagaland” at ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Nagaland centre, Medziphema here Tuesday.

“Kisans (farmers) are the soul of the country and state,” Acharya said, adding that for the country or state to more forward “we need to strengthen the kisans.”

Despite being blessed with natural resources in abundance, the governor lamented that Nagaland was “suffering” as the state (Cont’d on p-7) was still “dependable on

PB Acharya (NP) the central government for everything”.

Calling upon the people of Nagaland to exploit the natural resources, the governor urged the Nagas to “create wealth out of natural resources” as everything was at their disposable.

“We need not be a subsidy state when we can be independent economically,” exhorted Acharya.

He then called for strengthening the villages for economic growth.

Expressing concern over the diminishing work culture in Naga society, the governor asked how many Nagas were prepared to work hard and earn their livelihood. He pointed out

that non-Nagas from outside the state was in control of the state economy and called upon the Nagas to revive their work culture.

In a brief remark, principal secretary, veterinary and animal husbandry, MK Mero, asserted the need of convergence with farmers, saying they were the key if the state wanted to attain self-sufficiency.

Stating that Nagaland was aiming to be self-sufficient by 2025, he said to attain such status there was a need for farmers to increase their productivity.

He also called upon the educated youth to venture into livestock and agriculture farming. “If educated youths take get involved in farming activities then it would solve unemployment problem in Nagaland,” Mero said.

PDA, NPF to field candidates for LS by-poll I could be PM after NPF to abstain from PAC meetings

Tokheho Yepthomi Correspondent

KOHIMA, MAY 8 (NPN): With barely two days left before the May 10 deadline for candidates to file nomination to the Lok Sabha by election on May 28, the ruling Progressive Democratic Party (PDA) and the opposition Naga People’s Front (NPF) have announced the names of their respective candidates.

In 2014, the lone Lok Sabha seat was won by NPF candidate and present chief

C Apok Jamir minister Neiphiu Rio but he resigned in February to contest the state assembly election on NDPP ticket.

The NPF has nominated former parliamentary secretary Tourism C. Apok Jamir as its candidate. Apok lost the February 2018 election for the Mokokchung town constituency to NDPP candidate and present minister of Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Metsubo Jamir. Apok was also one term MP of Rajya Sabha as Congress member.

Meanwhile, NDPP has nominated former minister Tokheho Yepthomi as the consensus PDA candidate for the Lok Sabha seat.

NDPP spokesperson Merentoshi R. Jamir informed Nagaland Post that the alliance (PDA) has decided field former minister, Tokheho Yepthomi. Tokheho lost the election for the Dimapur-III constituency to NPF candidate Azheto Zhimomi.

Meanwhile, NDPP and NPF have decided to issue the party tickets to their respective candidates on May 9.

As for the Congress, sources said that the party was yet to decide on its candidate. Since the president was in Delhi, the party will finalize only after his return, sources added. It was also learnt that RJD was likely to set up its candidate. Sources informed that the party ticket will be issued at RJD headquarters in Patna on May 9.

2019 polls, says Rahul

BENGALURU, MAY 8 (IANS): In a statement that is bound to ruffle the feathers in the opposition, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said he would become the Prime Minister if the Congress emerges as the largest party in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be the Prime Minister again.

“Well that depends... that depends on how well the Congress does. I mean... the Congress, if it’s the biggest party, yes,” he said in reply to a question at an interaction with eminent citizens here.

This is the second time Rahul Gandhi has expressed his readiness to be the Prime Minister if the Congress gets a majority in next year’s Lok Sabha polls.

In September last year, speaking to students in Berkley, he had said that he was “absolutely ready” to be the Prime Minister.

The statement assumes significance in the context of parties that want to keep equi-distance from both the BJP and Congress and are working for a Third Front or Federal Front, which would not want to work under Gandhi.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has already met leaders including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and DMK’s M.K. Stalin in efforts to tie up a Federal Front of parties.

DIMAPUR, MAY 8 (NPN): NPF has expressed its inability to attend two crucial Political Affairs Committee (PAC) meetings– with legislators on May 9 and with tribal hohos on May 11.

Former minister and NPF MLA Imkong L Imchen said in a press release said that his party will not attend either of the meetings as these have not been convened or routed through the Assembly speaker, who is the appropriate authority, and neither has the leader of opposition, T.R. Zeliang been formally communicated regarding the meetings.

Imchen pointed out that Nagaland chief secretar y Temjen Toy had issued a circular on April 30 stating that PAC had convened a special meeting of all tribal hohos at the State Banquet Hall, Kohima at 10 a.m. on May 11 to discuss issues concerning the on-going peace talks and women reservation policies for urban local bodies, among others, and that each hoho is

Opposed to ‘unconstitutional’ ranks only: NPRAAF ENSF appeals for quality works DIMAPUR, MAY 8 (NPN): Amidst the ongoing hullabaloo over appointments of leaders of ruling alliance partners as PDA members, Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) has clarified that it was not against the appointments but only opposed to the “unconstitutional” ranks given to them along with salary, allowances and other perks.

In a statement issued by its information & publicity cell, NPRAAF said the coalition government can appoint more members for better coordination among ruling alliance partners, if deemed necessary, and that it is absolutely the political parties’ discretion.

However, the forum averred that it is only opposed to the ranks of cabinet and state ministers accorded to them along with salary, allowances, perks and other facilities, which come directly under the purview of Sec 21 IPC. According to NPRAAF, the appointments go against the

July 26, 2017 ruling of Supreme Court, which stated that Article 194 did not authorise the State Legislature to create office of profit even by legislation. The forum pointed out that the action of the State government has gone against the apex court ruling and tantamount to outwitting the constitutional mandate contained in Article 164 (1A) , which was adopted with a view to minimise expenditure on office of profit.

NPRAAF asserted that it will never endorse the coalition government’s move to use public exchequer at will to sponsor PDA members or any constitutionally unsanctioned post when the State government is in deep financial crisis and finding difficult even to pay monthly salary to government employees and bills to contractors.

The statement sought detail information from the chief secretary as well as parliamentary affairs department on the powers and functions of the “backdoor ministers”, besides

salary, perks and allowances any other facilities provided to the “non-legislators made ministers through backdoor”. It also demanded to know under which provision of law they were given the rank and status of ministers.

Suggesting cancellation, suspension or rectification of the appointment letters immediately, NPRAAF said it will be in the best interest of the government to serve the people meaningfully instead of engaging itself in legal confrontation that will ultimately affect even the appointment of advisors, who are bereft of cabinet and State ministers ranks and status even as elected legislators.

The forum declared that it will never allow the State government to misuse public money to appease party functionaries through unconstitutional means.

NPRAAF is a non-political civil society organisation that fights the scourge of corruption in the State.

DIMAPUR, MAY 8 (NPN): Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) has appealed to all the departments, companies, firms and contractors to deliver quality workmanship while executing any development projects in Eastern Nagaland jurisdiction.

In a press release, ENSF vice president, Manpang Wangyen, and assistant general secretary, Kumcho Yimchunger, expressed dismay that for the past years Eastern Nagaland had been neglected and turned “into a freestyle zone” for departments, companies, firms and contractors etc. Acknowledging the state government for showing keen interest to develop the “most neglected” and backward areas of the state, the ENSF hoped that government would not only develop Eastern Nagaland but also facilitate the “Act East Policy”.

ENSF, however, said “it is undeniable fact that the unexplored and untouched

motherland was made waste disposal zone by the successive governments and thus, resulting the condition of Eastern Nagaland pathetic and pitiable in all the developmental sectors.” Stating that it has take strong note of the poor quality in developmental activities particularly in Eastern Nagaland, ENSF warned the responsible contractors and departments that the federation cannot afford to compromise the quality of workmanship in any circumstances.

“The contractors, firm and any company engaged with any projects in the Eastern jurisdiction are expected to execute the work as per DPR without any disrepute,” ENSF stated.

Further, ENSF said it would not entertain any responsible that failed to abide by the terms of contract or compromise with low quality, adding it would initiate own course of action as deemed fit.

to be represent by three officebearers/members.

Similarly, Nagaland Legislative Assembly secretariat commissioner & secretary N Benjamin Newmai issued a bulletin Part-II on May 7 that PAC would hold a meeting with all legislators at the State Banquet Hall at 11 am on May 9 to discuss the way forward towards early settlement to the Naga political issue.

Imchen pointed out that in the past the ruling party used to officially communicate to the opposition for fixing such a meeting and the speaker, being a neutral authority, used to convene such meetings.

Stating that Zeliang urged the speaker to convene a meeting of the Legislators’ Forum for Naga Political Issue during the last budget session of the Assembly in March, Imchen lamented that it has not been convened by the appropriate authority.

He said under the circumstances NPF will not attend the meeting.

ZPON flays bid to divert SRDP projects from Peren DIMAPUR, MAY 8 (NPN): Zeliang People’s Organisation Nagaland (ZPON) has expressed its dismay at the alleged attempt by the PDA government to divert the Special Road Development Programme (SRDP) Fund, 2017-18 approved on February 3 this year. The organisation said the diversion bid will affect four projects in Peren district that are very important and a genuine need of the district.

ZPON president Kezin Zeliang and general secretary Kerang Dumtta in a press release said the people of Peren too were looking forward towards a positive developmental change from the new government with its much-hyped “Change is coming” slogan. However, they rued that the first change in Peren has come as a big blow, which has dashed hopes of the people. Demanding to know on what grounds and criteria the four projects were proposed to be diverted, ZPON said as per a Nagaland Post report on May 2 the four projects selected for Peren district under SRDP 2017-18 and proposed to be diverted are maintenance of road at Samziuram village at a cost of Rs 3 crore, construction of road from Heningkunglwa village to Dimapur-Khupanala (Cont’d on p-7) K Y M C

IMPHAL, May 8: Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) has Tuesday asked the Centre to address their grievances before finalizing any agreement with NSCN(I-M).

KIM has been pressing the Centre to deliver justice to the Kukis who were victims of alleged “genocides” carried out by the NSCN(I-M) between 1990 and 1997.

In a memorandum submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday, KIM reiterated its pending demand while asserting that Kukis were still firm with its unbendable stance.

KIM strongly protests against agreement or solution before settling the issue of NSCN (I-M) atrocities against the Kukis. It also cautioned not to talk on boundary and land without involving all stakeholders.

The memorandum signed

by KIM president, Lunpi S Thangjom stated, “Any

kind of possible agreement or solution made with NSCN-IM and any community on community line within Manipur will never be accepted by the Kuki Inpi Manipur.”

The memorandum further stated that, “the case of 905 massacred Kukis, including pregnant women, children, the aged and the invalid; the case of 360 Kuki villages uprooted and seizing their ancestral land and 100,000 Indian Kukis displaced in the their own land, remained unresolved even though more than 60 memoranda have been submitted to five Prime Ministers earlier.”

The issue should be resolved before any kind of possible agreement or solution is made with NSCN (I-M), KIM insisted in the memorandum.

In the memorandum, KIM further stated “No single community or ethnic group has the authority or is authorized by the owners of ancestral to talk about

Meghalaya govt to oppose Citizenship (Amendment) Bill Shillong, May 8 (PTI): The Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government Tuesday decided to oppose the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, proposed by the Centre to make migrants of six communities eligible for citizenship of India.

The unanimous decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma ahead of the May 10 visit by the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, to solicit views from the state government and stakeholders.

“The Cabinet has decided to say no to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, proposed by the Centre after taking into consideration and detailed discussion on the draft bill,” Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong told reporters after the meeting.

Tynsong said that the Cabinet’s decision will be officially communicated to the Centre through the JPC, which will visit Meghalaya for two days from May 10.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, was introduced in the Lok Sabha to amend the Citizen-

ship Act, 1955.

A key amendment in the bill seeks to grant citizenship to people without valid documents from minority communities - Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians - from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan after six years of residence in India.

Asked the reason behind the decision by the Meghalaya government in which the BJP is one of the coalition partners, Tynsong said the Cabinet has decided to oppose the Bill as it does not serve the purpose of the people of the state, which is a small tribal one.

He said that the Bill is “dangerous” taking into consideration that Meghalaya and the north eastern region is bound by Bangladesh, Nepal, China and Myanmar.

“This looks dangerous as a Christian or a Hindu once they are here for six years can become a citizen of India,” he added.

Meanwhile, NGOs in the state, including the Federation of Khasi-Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP), has decided to stage a protest during the visit of the JPC on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.

the land and break the territory.”

“All indigenous people should realize that they (the indigenous people) still own their ancestral land till today because the Kukis defended the land by fighting the British colonial governments in India and the then Burma from 1777 to the last Anglo-Kuki War during 1917-1919. Any settlement on land issue without the knowledge of Kuki Inpi, history will not forgive,” it asserted.

KIM also enclosed one of the last Memoranda reaffirming KIM’s unchanging stance that India government must first settle “NSCN (I-M) criminal acts before making any kind of agreement or solution with the outfit.”

If the Centre made any solution prior to the settlement of NSCN(I-M)’s “genocidal activities,” then the Kukis would consider the Centre to be behind the genocide, it warned.

Agartala, May 8 (IANS): Former Tripura Chief Minister and CPI-M leader Manik Sarkar on Tuesday said the BJP government in the state was attacking democracy and democratic activities.

“They are trying to establish one party rule in Tripura,” Sarkar said after visiting an area where the West Trupura district administration on Monday bulldozed seven offices of CPI-M and Congress as these were built on government land. West Tripura District Magistrate Milind Dharmrao Ramteke said on Tuesday that they demolished three more party offices, one each of the Communist Party of IndiaMarxist (CPI-M), Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -ffiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS).

Sarkar said after the announcement of the February 18 Assembly polls results on March 3, the BJP government continued its attacks

on innocents, opposition partie and hundreds of their party offices.

“Before demolition of party offices built 60-70 years ago, the government should talk to the concerned political parties. Alternative arrangements of the bulldozed party offices can be done,” said Sarkar, who was accompanied by other senior party leaders. “The BJP government has been trying to curb the rights of the workers and working class people. These are extremely undemocratic,”

remarked Sarkar, the Opposition leader in Tripura.

The BJP denied Sarkar’s allegations, saying these political party offices were constructed illegally on the government lands.

R.K. Anand of Congress said that the proposed agreement should not be finalised on communal lines.

N A G A O N , M ay 8 (Agencies): A retired teacher in Assam had just started listing out his complaints about bad roads in his area when he was abruptly cut-off by a union minister, at a Swachh Bharat Mission event in the state’s Nagaon district.

After some officers had spoken on the event’s theme, the retired teacher’s turn came and he took to the stage. The retired teacher lamented that he had given several applications to the local legislator to repair the roads but nothing had happened.

“Over the years, the locals in Amolapatty’s BB Road subway have been suffering a lot due to the poor road conditions, but they still hope that the new government and new MLA will take steps for improving the roads,” said the retired teacher from Nagaon, 125 kilometres from Guwahati.

present MLA should address to our grievances and find amicable solutions to problems. While we waited for him, some of his associate members arrived after which we had a meeting with them for around 30 minutes today after which we lifted our blockade” He also went on to state that, “While some our party workers were returning home, they were attacked on the way leading to 9 workers being injured.

We have again declared a blockade in the area and will only lift it when the CM himself assures us of some concrete solutions to our problems.”

been seen,” he said.

On hearing that, junior railway minister Rajen Gohain suddenly stood up from his chair and walked up to the teacher, blocking the mike in front of the audience.

“Why don’t you talk about this with the concerned officer? You seem to have come here with a motive. Utter nonsense,” Gohain said, news agency ANI reported.

The retired teacher tried to answer Gohain’s question by taking the microphone again, but the union minister did not give him the opportunity, and said, “Problems do not get solved by delivering speeches.”

Gohain told the retired teacher that if he had any complaint, he should have approached him personally and not speak out in front of the public.

In protest against the union minister’s comments, activists of the All Assam Students Union burnt his effigies Tuesday.

Court refused to say who referred case to 5-judge bench, says Sibal

New Delhi, May 8 (IANS): Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Tuesday said he withdrew a petition against Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu’s rejection of an impeachment motion against Supreme Court Chief Justice Dipak Misra as the case had been referred to a five-judge bench without following the due process.

Sibal said that the petition had not been transferred to the constitution bench through a “judicial order”.

“We wanted to know who passed the order that our petition would be heard by a five-judge bench. Normally, reference to such a bench is made by a judicial order. “But there is no judicial order here. So, who passed the order and under what circumstances? It is an administrative order and not a judicial order,” Sibal told the media at the Congress headquarters here.

He said the Supreme Court rules did not allow the Chief Justice to pass an administrative order to refer a matter to a five-judge bench on the ground that a “substantial question of

Kapil Sibal law as to the interpretation of the Constitution arises in the case”.

Sibal said: “As a litigant, I have a right to know what is that order, who has passed it, in what circumstances and what is the tenor of that order.”

The constitution bench excludes the five senior-most judges of the apex court -- four of whom had raised their voice against the Chief Justice -- and was formed late on Monday to hear the plea on Tuesday.

“If such an order has been passed by the Chief Justice, although the petition pertains to his own impeachment, then we should be given a copy of the order, as we are entitled to it, so

Centre plans museum for tribal freedom fighters in Gujarat New Delhi, May 8 (AGENCIES): The Centre is planning a major tribal outreach by setting up a National Memorial for Tribal Freedom Fighters in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state, Gujarat, and documenting at least 200 lesser-known tribal uprisings across India through tribal museums.

Modi had given a call in his Independence Day speech in 2016 to recognise tribal freedom fighters.

From small memorials, the plan has now expanded to a

national project which will entail turning a British-era jail into a museum and using technology to recreate tribal uprisings in multidimensional formats.

The construction of the proposed museum may start this month and it may take shape by the time the Modi government seeks a second mandate in mid2019, according to people privy to the plan.

They said the memorial has been planned close to Sardar Patel’s underconstruction Statue of Unity in Gujarat.

that we can study it.

“They (bench) did not answer our question and asked us to argue on the merits of the case. We told them we could not argue the case until we got a copy of the order. So, we withdrew the petition,” he added.

Raising more questions, Sibal said: “In the present case, there is no judicial order formulating the substantial question of law, involving the interpretation of the Constitution, which is required to be adjudicated upon by a constitution bench.

“The petitioners are entitled to know the authority who on the administrative side passed an order to refer this matter to five distinguished judges.”

On Monday, Congress MPs Pratap Singh Bajwa and Amee Yajnik had filed the petition, alleging that Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairperson Naidu’s decision to reject the motion was politically motivated.

Sibal also demanded to know if there was “any order by any constitutional authority in India” that could not be challenged in

the Supreme Court.

“We submitted if their lordships felt that the Rajya Sabha Chairman’s decision is something that cannot be challenged, then they should tell us as much,” said Sibal, who appeared for the two Congress MPs. On April 20, members from seven opposition parties led by the Congress submitted a notice to Chairman Naidu to initiate impeachment proceedings against Chief Justice Misra on five counts of “misbehaviour”.

Naidu rejected the notice three days later.

Sibal said the Congress did not have a personal grievance against any judge but was raising the matter for the sake of restoring the “dignity and independence” of the judiciary.

He pointed out that it was a few senior judges of the Supreme Court and not the Congress who flagged the issue that everything was not right with the apex court. He also said it is not a political issue. “This is not politics. These are individual member’s right.

So, any individual member can challenge it.”

J&K’s interlocutor Sharma meets Home Secretary NEW DELHI, MAY 8 (AGENCIES): The Centre’s representative for Kashmir, Dineshwar Sharma, on Tuesday briefed Union Home Secretar y Rajiv Gauba about the prevailing volatile situation in the state, officials said.

Sharma is said to have conveyed to Gauba the outcome of his meetings with a cross-section of people in the state and the security situation there, an official said. The unending cycle of violence in the Kashmir Valley is a cause of worry for the central government, which wanted to put an end to it, another official said.

Sharma and Gauba met after the home secretary reviewed the progress in development of sports infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir today. The meeting came a day after a tourist from Chennai was killed after he was hit on the head by a stone during a protest on the outskirts of Srinagar. Five Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, including an assistant professor of the Kashmir University, were killed in an encounter in the valley on Sunday. Five civilians, who were protesting near the encounter site, also died during clashes with security forces.

Bhushan files RTI to see impeachment case order

Prashant Bhushan New Delhi, May 8 (IANS): Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan on Tuesday moved an RTI application in the Supreme Court Additional Registrar office to find out if the CJI impeachment case was referred to a five-judge Constitution bench by way of administrative order and who passed it. The move came after the bench hearing the plea refused to answer the question, and senior counsel Kapil Sibal subsequently withdrew a petition moved by two Cong ress MPs against Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu’s dismissal of a notice to impeach Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra.

“Was writ petition Pratap Singh Bajwa and Another versus Chairman Rajya Sabha and Another listed on May 8 before a

Constitution bench by way of an administrative order?

If yes, who has passed the above mentioned order,” Bhushan asked in his application seeking information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. On April 20, members from seven opposition parties led by the Congress submitted a notice to Chairman Naidu to initiate impeachment proceedings against Chief Justice Misra on five counts of “misbehaviour” -a notice rejected by Naidu.

On Monday, Congress MPs Pratap Singh Bajwa and Amee Yajnik filed a petition alleging that Naidu’s decision was politically motivated.

“It was mentioned before the court that since the case deals directly with the CJI on impeachment and therefore the CJI could not have heard the mentioning or exercise any power as the master of the roster or for listing the case,” Bhushan told the media. “But suddenly last night, the registry announced that the case has been listed before a Constitution bench in Court 6. It has never happened before that a matter/petition is listed before a Constitution bench even without a judicial order and we need to know if the CJI has passed this order.”

AMU VC demands judicial inquiry into violence A l i g a r h , M ay 8 (IANS): Aligarh Muslim University Vice Chancellor Tariq Mansoor on Tuesday demanded a judicial inquiry into recent violent incidents on the campus and condemned the use of “excessive force” on student protesters.

Appealing to students who are on strike not to jeopardise their future, he said that he endorsed the demand for judicial inquiry and had conveyed the sentiments of AMU community to all concerned.

“Under no circumstances, students should let their studies suffer especially at a time when exams are round the corner. I appeal to all students to maintain calm and focus on studies wholeheartedly and to do well in their careers.

“I share the pain of our students,” Mansoor said adding that he was deeply anguished after visiting the injured students admitted in the varsity’s Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College.

The Vice Chancellor, with his wife, also visited the site of the students agitation to express solidarity with their demands.

Modi’s oratory cannot fill stomach of poor: Sonia Vijayapura, May 8 (IANS): UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday made a strong attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of being intolerant and also that the stomach of the poor cannot be filled by his oratory.

Addressing a rally here hours after Modi spoke, she lashed out at his government, saying it had discriminated against Karnataka.

“Modiji is besotted with Congress-free India.

Leave Congress-free India, he cannot even tolerate anyone in front of him,” Gandhi said in her first rally in about two years. She

said Modi may be a good speaker but speeches alone cannot solve problems of the people. “He (Modi) is proud of his oratory skills. If his oratory can fill hungry stomachs, he must speak more often. Speeches cannot fill the stomach of the hungry.

Speeches cannot empower women, cure those suffering from diseases, it cannot create employment. For all this you need strong commitment, determination and good intention,” she said.

Lauding the Siddaramaiah government for its initiatives concerning the poor and the farmers, she urged people to defeat the BJP over its “jum-

las”. “BJP people come, make false promises, create hatred and return. I know that you will unmask each of their jumlas and form a Congress government with clear majority,” Gandhi said in her brief speech.

She said that ending corruption was among tall promises of Modi but he had failed to appoint a Lokpal.

Gandhi also targeted Modi over allegations concerning Reddy brothers and about spurt in turnover of a company linked to BJP chief Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah. “What is his model of ending corruption. Wherever he addresses rallies in

Karnataka, there are people around him. Will you adopt their model or you will adopt model of your closest associate,” she said. She said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had sought time to meet Modi but an appointment was not given.

What happened to Lok Pal, Sonia asks Modi

and questioned his slogan of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’.

Gandhi launched a counter-offensive against the Prime Minister who has relentlessly targeted the Siddaramaiah government over corruption. She wanted to know what happened to the institution of Lok Pal, the anti-graft watchdog that was proposed to be set up.

Holding her first election rally in two years, United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday accused the Modi government of discriminating against the Congress-ruled Karnataka,

Vol. XXVIII NO.151 Dimapur, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 2018

A

Profusion of ideas

s part of its initiative, the Progressive Democratic Alliance (PDA) has decided to organise mini-Hornbill Festivals in all the 11 districts of Nagaland coinciding with the festivals of the tribes of the respective districts. That would mean that the miniHornbills will be celebrated throughout the year except in April, June and September. Nevertheless the idea sounds good and it follows the suggestions made in this column during the recent past about the need to “share Hornbill with other districts” instead of concentrating everything in a ten-day period solely in Kohima.

Since last year, the Hornbill music contest was held in Dimapur and hopefully the idea will also go along with privatisation of the festival, as commented in the editorial columns. The opposition NPF had criticised the PDA government for the move on the ground that it diluted the essence and spirit of the tribal festivals.

The issue was also raised during the March assembly session where the opposition described the Hornbill as an expensive and loss making venture and stopped short of describing the heavily-funded government enterprise as a ‘white elephant’. Be that as it may, the proposal to celebrate festivals all year through fits into the slogan coined sometime in October 2009 and it has therefore come full circle. The celebration of festivals is part and parcel of culture and that helps to strengthen bonds within communities. Even if the miniHornbill festivals are held with pomp and gaiety, the D Day on December 1, will continue to be the mother of all festivals when the Hornbill Festival is unveiled on the day to coincide with statehood day. There are 16 recognised tribes in Nagaland and 11 districts. In some districts there are more than one tribe. Of interest is Dimapur district, where the government has made the Kuki festival Mimkut as the main festival.

The Kacharis, the original inhabitants had protested for being ignored in lieu of the history of the district.

In the past, festivals arose out of some necessity of day-to-day life and later transformed into customs and subsequently, obtained a changeless character.

Another significant factor that went into the making of festivals run with seasonal regularity, was religious sanction. The festivals are also occasions that serve as reminders about the past cultural practices of tribes which are essentially agri-based societies, observe the festival rituals heralding the onset of sowing and later, harvest. The practices of observing festivals are no longer random as the heightened relevance of preservation of one’s culture has begun to take the form of a contemporary tradition. The criticism against the mini-hornbill may not be totally wrong. For one, the main objective of the Hornbill Festival is to showcase the rich Naga culture and as tourist attraction. Tourist season is normally during dry winter months which excellent climatically for travelling. Some of the festivals fall on summer months which are not comfortable for tourists due to rain and humidity and landslides etc.

Also, the cost of organizing the festivals would also require sufficient funds for the districts, which does not include tourist infrastructures. Also there are some tribes whose festivals fall somewhere near or around the main Hornbill Festival. What needs further clarity is on the objective of the mini-Hornbills so as to explore innovation. If that can be done, then the core objective of the main Hornbill has to be reinvented in the light of the mini-hornbills.

DailyDevotion The Faith to Persevere Because you have kept My command to persevere… —Revelation 3:10 Perseverance means more than endurance— more than simply holding on until the end. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, but our Lord continues to stretch and strain, and every once in a while the saint says, “I can’t take any more.” Yet God pays no attention; He goes on stretching until His purpose is in sight, and then He lets the arrow fly. Entrust yourself to God’s hands. Is there something in your life for which you need perseverance right now? Maintain your intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the perseverance of faith. Proclaim as Job did, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15).

Faith is not some weak and pitiful emotion, but is strong and vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love. And even though you cannot see Him right now and cannot understand what He is doing, you know Him. Disaster occurs in your life when you lack the mental composure that comes from establishing yourself on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Faith is the supreme effort of your life— throwing yourself with abandon and total confidence upon God. God ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us, and now He wants us to venture our all with total abandoned confidence in Him. There are areas in our lives where that faith has not worked in us as yet— places still untouched by the life of God. There were none of those places in Jesus Christ’s life, and there are to be none in ours. Jesus prayed, “This is eternal life, that they may know You…” (John 17:3).

The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we will take this view, life will become one great romance— a glorious opportunity of seeing wonderful things all the time. God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 2018

ndia’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru proudly supported Chinese Prime Minister Chou En-Lai. He had emerged after defeating the First Front Army commander, Chiang Kai Shek. The Chinese Premier had supported India’s movement for Independence when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said that the freedom of India was not dependent on the victory of Allies in the Second World War, which was a foregone conclusion when America declared support to Britain and such other democratic forces.

Still Nehru was able to get the backing of the Congress. It made the declaration even though Mahatma Gandhi believed that Adolf Hitler, leading the fascist forces, would emerge victorious. That Chou En-Lai had betrayed Nehru by launching the attack in 1962 was a severe blow that Nehru could not survive.

After that the nonaligned countries together had amended the Colombo proposals and retrieved partially the prestige of Nehru.

The proposals recognized the new border where China had delineated through its

India-China relations on mend

forces. New Delhi showed annoyance by calling back its ambassador in Beijing.

Relations between the two countries had remained sour since.

It appears Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accepted China-dictated border. The ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) can argue that it has accepted what was de jure. What is hailed as a historic moment is abject surrender to Beijing. It is practically a defeat. Had the Congress Party done so, it would have been paraded as a force which had sold India.

Modi, with his flowery speeches in Hindi, may go down well with the people who cannot understand the intricacies of the border problem. But surprisingly, the party has the support from the Nagpur headquarters from where the RSS high command operates.

China and India have seldom agreed on where the actual border line is. Nehru said that he had asked the Indian army to oust the infiltrators and clear its territory. Since then the relations between the two had more or less hostile. Some time ago, India showed its muscles with the stand-off

at Doklam. China had to withdraw its forces behind the present border. Prime Minister Modi’s trip last September for BRICS did reduce tension.

The positive side of Modi’s trip then was the reiteration by the two Kuldip countries to fight against terrorists. But here too Beijing elucidated its own theory. Yet, the friendship of China and Pakistan is only getting stronger to the concern of New Delhi. Not long ago, Beijing had begun stapling visas of Indians visiting China from Arunachal. China wanted to indicate that it was a “separate territory” and not part of India.

New Delhi has borne the humiliation quietly. China had accepted without demur the maps showing Arunachal Pradesh as India’s territory. To recall the dispute over a small territory lying between Arunachal and China’s border, the status of Arunachal Pradesh has been seldom questioned.

Tibet for China is like India’s Kashmir which too has raised the standard of independence. There is, however, one difference: the Dalai Lama is willing to

accept an autonomous status within China. Kashmir today wants independence.

Maybe, the Kashmiris will come round to accept a similar status one day. The problem is so complicated that a minor change can lead to a major catastrophe. It Nayar is not worth risking. The Dalai Lama’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh last year had brought back the memories of the days before the Chinese annexed Tibet. Nehru did not raise any objection at that time because he was on personal terms with Chinese Premier Chu-En Lai. The Dalai Lama’s visit did not raise doubts about Tibet but it renewed the debate of its annexation by Beijing once again. China called his visit a “provocation.” It had warned India that the Dalai Lama’s visit would affect the normal relations between the two countries. Indeed, it intensified with Doklam. Yet, India managed to hold its own.

In fact, China’s problems with India have roots in the British demarcation of the India-China border.

China refuses to acknowledge the McMahon Line

that demarcates Arunachal Pradesh to be a part of India. Any activity that takes place in this area is viewed

by China skeptically.

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s visit to the “disputed’’ territory despite Chinese protest showed that New Delhi was prepared for hostilities if it came to that pass. Then the Indian soldiers did not have shoes for a mountain combat. India is now a power to reckon with.

It looks as if China would go on provoking India to exhaust patience.

When war is ruled out this is the only option China has.

How to retaliate, without resorting to hostilities is the situation India faces.

Beijing is trying to revive the India-China Bhai Bhai scenario. Soon after days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first visit to China after the Doklam standoff between the two countries, a statement issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that both sides possessed the “maturity and wisdom” to handle their differences through peaceful discussion and by respecting each other’s “concerns and aspirations.”

They also agreed to use

the Special Representatives’ Meeting on the boundary question to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable settlement. The two militaries will strengthen confidence-building measures and enhance communication and cooperation to uphold border peace and tranquility, said the statement.

Meanwhile, China and India have agreed to build a high-level cultural and people-to-people exchange mechanism between the two nations. The informal summit meeting between Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping also stressed on the need to strengthen the ChinaIndia Closer Developmental Partnership so that the two will always keep to the right direction.

The latest move is aimed at further strengthening the bilateral ties between the two nations. On the last leg of his two-day visit, the Indian Prime Minister and Chinese President walked along a sidewalk on the shores of the Wuhan’s East Lake and later sailed in the same boat for “peace, prosperity and development” in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This augurs well.

Post-mortem

The Arab and the Camel

early everyone knows the story of the Arab and the Camel; how on a cold night the Camel asked the Arab if he could put his head into the tent. On receiving permission to do so, the Camel, in turn, asked to put his neck, his forelegs and so on into the tent, until, at last, the tent collapsed. This is the perfect analogy of what is happening between the Nagas of Nagaland and some of the Nagas of Manipur.

The present day state of Nagaland does not include the Nagas of Manipur for the simple reason that they were not part of the struggle for Naga Independence prior to statehood. It was only after the state of Nagaland was formed that some Nagas of Manipur joined the NNC. I’m not saying that the Nagas of Manipur, as late entrants to the Naga Struggle for Independence, have fewer rights than the Nagas of Nagaland; but I object to some elements of the NSCN (I-M) trying to distort and even re-write the History of the Naga Independence Struggle. The NNC, under Mr. A.Z. Phizo is the only organisation that has ever had the mandate of the entire people of Nagaland; and it was the people who took part in the Plebiscite of 1951, which gave the mandate to the NNC, that became a part of the state of Nagaland, and this includes the Zeliangs and Kukis of Nagaland.

I bring this up in the context of Rio’s call for a meeting with the tribal organisations of Nagaland on the 11th of May, with reference to the “Solution” to the Naga Insurgency and the concept of the Pan-Naga Hoho. The Tribal organisations have to keep a few things in mind, namely:1. Neither the NSCN (I-M) nor the 6 NNPGs, (which, together, form the Cease-fire Groups) have the mandate or the right to decide anything on behalf of the people of Nagaland. They may, individually or collectively, reach any agreement with the Government of India on the terms of Surrender of their respective organisations; but cannot decide anything on behalf of the state of Nagaland, without the will and consent of the people of Nagaland.

2. The state government is, at best, a facilitator to the ongoing talks between the Cease-fire Groups and the Government of India, and, at worst, an active co-conspirator of one or some of the factions of the cease-fire groups. It has no voice or authority in the issue. The only thing it can do is reveal the terms of any agreement so that the Tribal organisations may study its acceptability to members of their respective tribes and the people of Nagaland. If it attempts, in any way, to bribe, coerce or intimidate the tribal organisations into accepting any unknown agreement, they must walk out.

3. Any talk of a Pan-Naga Hoho must be rejected. Rio is on record as stating that the Nagas of Myanmar cannot be included in any agreement since they are under a foreign country. The Naga struggle for

self-determination has always rested on the premise that THE NAGAS WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY ARTIFICIAL BOUNDARIES DRAWN

BY OTHERS. If we are to accept Rio’s argument, it will mean accepting the division of Nagas according to the boundary between India and Myanmar. So, why stop there? Let us accept the state boundaries between Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.

I object to the concept of the Pan-Naga Hoho because of the analogy of the Arab and the Camel. The Naga struggle for self-determination was started by the people of Nagaland, with the mandate bestowed upon the NNC led by Mr. A.Z. Phizo, now we have the NSCN (I-M), controlled by the Nagas of Manipur, arrogantly claiming the mandate of the Naga people; the Naga Hoho and the NSF was started by the Nagas of Nagaland, now we have the Nagas of Manipur voting, en bloc, in both these organisations, to pick and choose the office bearers they want.

If that was not bad enough, now we have distinct non-Naga tribes, being recognized as Naga tribes by the NSCN (I-M). Which anthropologist, sociologist or linguist determined that the Aimols were Nagas? Apart from the Naga and Kuki-Chin tribes of North-East India and Myanmar, there are some Old Kuki tribes (so classified by early British explorers), which include (among others) the Aimol, Anal, Chiru and Koireng tribes. I have no objection any tribe wanting to cast their lot with the Nagas to chalk out a common future, as is the case with the Kukis, Garos and Kacharis of Nagaland, but I vehemently object to non-Naga tribes being classified as Nagas so that their numbers may be used to overwhelm the Nagas of Nagaland.

The concept of the Pan-Naga Hoho as a political and economic body has found no takers among the Nagas of Nagaland, now the NSCN (I-M) seeks to make it a “Cultural” body so that they may continue to occupy Hebron and dominate its surroundings. And to ensure their future hold over Nagaland and the Pan-Naga Hoho, they intend to hold on to their weapons and have started recognizing non-Naga tribes as Nagas, respectively. This is simply unacceptable. Make your agreement and make your way back home, whether it be in Nagaland or Manipur, Assam or Arunachal. Do not try to claim what is not yours under false pretences, for the tent of Nagaland may collapse. The Naga struggle for self-determination began long before the cease-fire groups emerged and it will continue long after you have become a footnote in the collective history of the Nagas. If it is God’s Will, Nagas may eventually achieve Independence; there is no hurry.

Protective thinking: How India restrain Northeast extremist political outfits

I

t is of no surprise that since attaining its complete independence in 1947, India has been doing quite well by staying several steps ahead when it comes to dealing and containing the varied demands (some demanding independence, while some demand statehood based on their linguistic and common tribal affinities) of extremist political outfits in the northeast. These ethnic groups with limited political experience in national and international politics have decided to pursue their political aspiration equipped with a purely tribal outlook that makes them easy prey for India with thousands of years of experience in politics of all levels. Let me illustrate the difference between the two outlooks (i.e. tribal and Indian) and the factors inherent in them to show the manner in which the Union Government of India (GoI) confines various armed (extremist) political groups in the Northeast.

Tribal Outlook A tribal way can be roughly defined as policies, whose fundamental ideologies originate from tribal traditional thinking system that are adopted and implemented by the ethnic political outfits in achieving their political aspiration. The numerous ethnic groups inhabiting the hills and valleys in the northeast region were given distinct tribal recognition by the Colonial British power for administrative purposes. This further assisted these politically backward indigenous people to further engage in communal hatred based on their separate tribal identities. Such separate recognition in many ways capitulate the numerous tribes from having a common affinity to construct their “own distinct identity.”

The different political tactics, policies followed and implemented by the extremist political outfits based in the Northeast

region have not affected India’s integrity. The success rate of India’s central govt in containing the entire extremist political outfit shows that in politics at any level, only the best strategist and practical ones wins over the ones with limited strategy primarily based on its distinct history and tribal identity attached with their lands. The irony, however, is that these extremist political outfits refuse to admit and acknowledge their opponent success rate in effectively containing them.

When political agendas remain unfulfilled, these political outfits get involved in state politics by setting up their own respective candidates for state elections that create more negative outcomes in all matters concerning the welfare of its society. In some cases, it is reported that tribal politicians and high ranking government officials, both at central and state level, are covertly funding the extremist political outfits based on clan and tribe affinities.

In many ways, these political outfits are tribal outfit aiming to protect each respective tribal interests hamper any chances of building a strong alliance among the tribal outfits. The scars of past ethnic aggression and conflicts also remain as a constant shadow in the intertribe relationship.

The tragedy is that it seems all too clear that the old thinking system will continue for another 30-40 years, which is really discouraging given the fact that many of the tribal people have received education from top universities and has not yet realized the importance of making compromises in sensitive issues to facilitate establishing communal harmony. Nor have they questioned the sectarian policies that breed more tribal tensions. The younger generation is hell-bent on preserving its tribal purity and following the same blinkered habits of

their predecessor in disrespecting other tribes.

India’s Outlook In contemporary world politics, India is one among the powerful countries with high internal disturbances, mostly political in nature, beginning with the Kashmir issues, China’s claim of Arunachal Pradesh as a part of south Tibet, the presence of a high number of extremist political outfits in its north-eastern states demanding regional autonomy and self-determination. Yet, with such internal issues, India has presented itself and made herself as one of the growing powers in world politics.

Amazingly, however, not even one ruling government of any powerful country in the world has openly declared its support for the struggles of any of these extremist political outfits based in northeast India.

Why is this so? This is simply because India has very astutely contained the extremist political outfits, most notably through the mechanisms set up in the Indian Constitution. The Indian Constitution puts the Northeastern tribal communities under Scheduled Tribe category that in turn performed miracles for the government of India as different ethnic groups, mostly based on linguistic identity, began to engage in a bitter rivalry over lands, resources, and access to government employment and patronages. Even though their struggles are similar in nature and when supporting each other could have put themselves in an advantageous position in dealing with the central government, the temptations of receiving special political, economic/ financial, and employment assistance from the government, however, seem to exceed their demand for self-determination, independence.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Let’s optimize the use of dustbin

Retrospecting the past few years, it has been seen that people have been more civilized today in using dustbins or waste bins. However, some of us are still practising random disposal of waste materials in the heart of the towns or villages, streets or markets, etc. As we know, all these are supposed to be disposed to a designated place called waste bins, dustbins, etc which are all kept all over streets, markets, etc. Let us educate more people who are still practicing random disposing in our own way to keep our towns and villages’ dirt free, which is a step forward to cleanliness.

Alliance with SP is on for 2019 LS elections: Mayawati

Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati.

LU C K N OW, M ay 8 (AGENCIES): In a major boost to opposition unity in Uttar Pradesh, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati said her party’s alliance with Samajwadi Party was on for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and a formal announcement would be made once the seat-sharing arrangement was finalised.

“A declaration has to be made and it will be done once we work out the seat-sharing arrangement. There is still time for Lok Sabha elections and we will work it out closer to the polls,” she told NDTV. Mayawati added that people were already aware of the SPBSP alliance even though no formal announcement had been made yet.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the combined vote share of SP and BSP was 41.8%, while BJP and

its ally Apna Dal got 43.3% and won 73 out of 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh. SP and BSP fought elections separately. While SP managed to win only five seats, BSP drew a blank. Congress’s vote share was 7.5% and it won two seats.

“As secular forces are uniting, communal forces like BJP and RSS are becoming increasingly worried. They wouldn’t like secular forces to unite and move forward,” Mayawati said.

BJP had to face a humiliating defeat by the SP-BSP combine in Gorakhpur and Phulpur Lok Sabha bye-elections in March. Mayawati supported SP days before the crucial bypolls for seats that were vacated by CM Yogi Adityanath and deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya. The coming together of the two parties saw caste equations work

in their favour.

In the forthcoming Kairana Lok Sabha and Noorpur Assembly bypolls, Mayawati has reportedly asked her party cadres to work for SP and RLD candidates to defeat BJP. There had been signs of souring ties when SP failed to ensure victory for BSP’s lone candidate in Rajya Sabha elections after the bypolls.

While BJP had tried to “warn” Mayawati against trusting SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, she lashed out at the ruling party, saying it would not make any difference to the “closeness” between the two parties. Subsequently, SP contested one of two non-BJP seats for MLC elections, allowing BSP to field its candidate on the other one.

When asked whether BJP was trying to put pressure on her as CBI recently took over the probe into alleged irregularities in the disinvestment of 21 state-owned sugar mills in 2010-11 when she was CM, she said: “BSP has never come under pressure from BJP or Congress or any other parties. BSP has always fought back.”

The divestment has allegedly caused a loss of Rs 1,179 crore to the state exchequer.

MeT warns of another spell of t-storm, squall

(From p-1) In his speech, power department adviser Tovihoto Ayemi welcomed the Belgian officials and said Nagaland was interested in introducing new technologies, especially in power sector, and appealed for initiating steps for collaboration with the State government. He assured to do everything possible to facilitate joint ventures

New Delhi, May 8 (IANS): The IMD warned that another spell of thunderstorm accompanied by squall was expected to hit several parts of the country, including NCR-Delhi, on Tuesday, with the region witnessing a duststorm overnight.

According to the India Meteorological Department, thunderstorm accompanied with squall (with wind speeds reaching 50-­70 kmph) and hail was very likely at isolated places in the country. Strong dustladen winds on Monday fanned a fire that broke out in a parked ambulance due to burning mosquito coil, killing two people sleeping inside and injuring another critically, police said.

According to private forecaster Skymet, gradual extension of similar weather activities will take place on Tuesday night.

“Thunderstorm, dust storm and lightning strikes are possible over Punjab and Haryana. Uttar Pradesh is also expected to be affected, where Agra and Mathura will be on the radar,” it said.

Wind speeds are expected to range between 50-60 kmph and may reach up to 100 kmph in isolation pockets. The rough weather is expected to spread even more on Tuesday and will last longer. Skymet warned people to exercise caution and not expose themselves to inclement weather conditions.

with the government.

Earlier, in his welcome address, IT&C commissioner KD Vizo said Nagaland has decided to do away with the use of fossil fuel and declared that the State was eager to have Belgium as its partner in promoting renewable energy like hydel, solar and wind.

Expressing the hope that the smart city of Kohima will be built with the

help of Belgium, Vizo said the presence of trade commissioner of Flanders Investment & Trade will open way for Kohima Smart City team to visit smart cities like Ghent, Antwerp, Mechelen, Kortrijk, Leuven, Ostend, Hasselt and Genk in Flanders region.

The programme was also attended by senior officials from IT&C, municipal affairs and power departments.

Earlier, delivering a welcome address

and highlighting activities of ICAR in Nagaland, joint director, ICAR-Nagaland centre, Dr. DJ Rajkhowa, briefed the gathering on water harvesting, meat, poultry and other activities of ICAR. He said ICAR was also involved in promoting organic farming in the state.

Dr. Rajkhowa also said efforts have been made to provide the required technology to agri and allied sector in the state.

road measuring 6 km at a cost of Rs 60 lakh, improvement of road at new district headquarters Peren at a cost of Rs 1 crore and improvement of PerenTening-Nsong road at a cost of Rs 1.50 crore Warning that the proposed diversion will leave a very bad precedence in the State, ZPON urged the State government to honour and respect the decision already taken earlier so that the common men do not lose faith in the system of governance.

Diversion of the four projects from Peren, if effected, will deeply hurt sentiments of the people of Peren district and, as such, the government should think twice before proposing such a diversion, the organisation cautioned.

Ban toxic insecticides: Maha farm body to Centre Nagpur, May 8 (IANS): A prominent farm body on Tuesday urged the Centre to immediately accept the Maharashtra government’s plea to ban poisonous insecticides which have killed more than 60 farmers here so far.

Vasantrao Naik Sheti Swavalamban Mission (VNSSM) chairman Kishore Tiwari said that following a series of farmers’ deaths due to toxic insecticides, the state government had submitted a proposal to the Centre seeking a ban on such chemicals.

“Though the proposal was sent following directives by the Bombay High Court, I fear it may be thrown

into the dustbin by the Union Agriculture Minister,” Tiwari said.

In fact, he pointed out that even the Supreme Court has now directed the Centre to impose a ban on 18 poisonous insecticides/ pesticides within the next couple of months. “It has been our long-pending demand that such dangerous pesticides which are banned in other countries should also be banned or restricted in India because of their grave health and ecological impact,” Tiwari said.

He said that in 2013, the Centre had appointed an expert committee which reviewed 66 such dangerous pesticides, which finally recommended

in 2015 that 12 must be banned and six others should be phased out from the markets. Although the Union Agriculture Ministry issued a draft notification in December 2016, as per the recommendations of the expert committee, it had now been referred to another committee to examine the suggestions on the proposed ban recommended by the previous committee, Tiwari said.

He added that activists who had petitioned the SC wanted the government to consider banning completely 99 pesticides considered toxic worldwide and which have so far claimed 60 lives in Maharashtra besides serious health issues to over 2,000 others.

The first such forecast has to be given within two months from the commencement of these amended regulations.

The issue of inter-connectivity had been a major flashpoint between Reliance Jio and incumbent telecom operators like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular, at the time when the newcomer launched its services in 2016.

Reliance Jio had accused other operators of not providing it sufficient points of interconnect leading to call failures, while operators blamed the free calls offered by the newcomer for the tsunami of network traffic.

In 2016, Trai had also recommended imposing Rs 1,050 crore penalty each on Airtel and Vodafone and Rs 950 crore on Idea Cellular for violating quality of service rules.

Trai, at that time, had stated that it found the trio non-compliant with licence conditions and service quality norms, given the high rate of call failures and congestion at interconnect points for Reliance Jio.

duced Goods and Services Tax (GST) as well as protracted issues of corporate and bank balance sheet problems pushed the growth rate of India downward” in 2017, it said.

Developing Asia-Pacific economies are on track to record an overall growth rate of 5.8 per cent in 2017, compared with 5.4 per cent the previous year. They are projected to grow by 5.5 per cent in both 2018 and 2019, with a slight moderation in China offset by a recovery in India and steady performance in the rest of the region.

“In India, a gradual recovery is expected; private investment is expected to revive as the corporate sector adjusts to GST, infrastructure spending increases and corporate and bank balance sheets improve with government support,” the report said.

New Delhi, May 8 (PTI): Telecom regulator Trai Tuesday issued a draft to amend interconnect regulations, proposing certain changes in terms and conditions for operators to seek fresh call connect ports from other telcos.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has sought views and comments from the industry

by May 18 on the draft.

The ‘draft Telecommunication Interconnection (Amendment) Regulations 2018’ proposed that a service provider can ask another operator for additional ports, in case the projected utilisation of the capacity is likely to exceed 85 per cent over 60 day period.

“The time frame for provisioning of ports for initial interconnection and augmentation is proposed to be increased to maximum 42 working days,” Trai said in a statement.

The regulator said that an operator will have to give a forecast of outgoing call traffic of busy hours for each interconnect point once every six months -- April 1 and October 1 -- to the interconnecting service provider.

New Delhi, May 8 (PTI): The government will come out with a Producers Price Index (PPI) next month for 10 services including telecom and railways on experimental basis, a government official said Tuesday.

The move will help track inflation in these services, which will also include ports, postal, insurance, banking, transportation and air travel.

“Services PPI will be released next month,” the official said.

Two major indices are used currently for tracking price movement -- Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI).

While the WPI measures price movement of goods in wholesale markets, the CPI tracks inflation at retail level and also includes certain services.

While the incidence of taxes are accounted for in WPI and CPI, the PPI would reflect the cost at producers point sans taxes.

PPI measures the average change in the price a producer receives for his goods/services sold in the domestic market/exports.

In case of railways, price movement would be tracked for freight tariff and “Our BharatBenz Dealerpassenger fares. ship will provide comprehensive commercial vehicle solutions to vehicles plying in Guwahati, which is also SHREYA TELE MEDIA Pvt.

The latest inflow has been mainly driven by contributions from liquid or money market category and equity funds.

The liquid funds or money market category -- with investments in cash assets such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit and commercial paper for shorter horizon -- witnessed an infusion of over Rs 1.16 lakh crore.

Besides, equity and equity-linked saving schemes saw an inflow of more than Rs 11,000 crore. Further, income funds which invest in a combination of government securities witnessed an infusion of Rs 5,220 crore.

New Delhi, May 8 ( P TI ) : I nve s t o r s h ave pumped Rs 1.4 lakh crore into mutual funds in April, driving the industry asset base to a staggering Rs 23.25 lakh crore, a surge of 9 per cent from the preceding month.

In comparison, assets under management (AUM) of the MF industry, comprising 42 players, were at Rs 21.36 lakh crore in March-end, according to the latest update with Association of Mutual Fund in India (Amfi). Industry experts attributed the surge in AUM to ‘aggressive’ investor awareness campaign both at the individual as well as at industry level.

In addition, they added, investors are moving towards financial asset class for investment instead of buying traditional asset classes such as real estate and gold, which also helped in increasing the penetration of mutual funds.

Moreover, systematic investment plan (SIP) has also given the investors a choice as well as flexibility of investing periodically or in lump sum as per their preference, said COO Harsh

U n i t e d Nat i o n s, May 8 (PTI): The Goods and Services Tax (GST) as well as protracted issues of corporate and bank balance sheet problems pushed India’s economic growth downward in 2017 but a gradual recovery is expected and the country’s economy is forecast to grow at 7.2 per cent in 2018, according to a UN report.

According to estimates in the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific’s (ESCAP) flagship publication the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific, India’s GDP grew at 6.6 per cent in 2017, down from 7.1 per cent in 2016.

The report said that India’s GDP is forecast to grow 7.2 per cent in 2018 and 7.4 per cent next year.

In India, the recently introduced GST as well as weak corporate and bank balance sheets resulted in modest economic growth, b u t s i g n s o f r e c ove r y emerged in the second half of 2017, it said.

Kolkata, May 8 (PTI): Tea exports during 2017-18 touched an all time high of 256.6 million kg as compared to 227.63 million kg in the previous fiscal.

Production of tea during the last financial year reached 1325 million kg, an increase of almost 75 million kg in 2016-17, a press statement issued by Tea Board said today.

Export realisation in the last financial was USD 785.92 million. In 201617, export realisation was USD 95.19 million lower, the statement said. The growth in exports was primarily driven by countries like Egypt (a rise of 7.5 million kg), Iran (an increase of 6.95 million kg), Pakistan (increase of 4.96 million kg), China (a rise of 2.91 million kg) and Russia (an increase of 2.89 million kg).

or Tajikistan; and about 3 to 4 per cent in larger countries, like China, India or Indonesia, according to ESCAP. Further, weak corporate and bank balance sheets in India also contributed to a sharp slowdown in investment; thus, simply lowering policy interest rates was not enough to revive investment in that country. In India “the new bankruptcy code and the recapitalization package for public sector banks are expected to support a gradual recovery in private investment.”

The report said that consumption also strengthened in India as the impacts of demonetisation faded.

On the problem of India’s bad loans, the report said the share of non-performing loans in the country has doubled, and defaults on corporate bonds and syndicated loans have surged in recent years. By mid2017, distressed bank loans reached a record high of 9.5 trillion rupees (USD 148 billion), but more recent revelations suggest that the actual figure may be higher.

Iran nuclear deal: Donald Trump to reveal US decision

Washington, May 8 (AGENCIES): President Donald Trump is to reveal whether the US will abandon the nuclear deal with Iran and reimpose sanctions.

Trump has been highly critical of the 2015 accord, under which Iran limited its nuclear activities.

EU powers see it as the best way to stop Iran developing a nuclear bomb and their officials met a senior Iranian on Tuesday without US officials present.

The White House has signalled that the president might stop short of reneging completely on the deal.

It is unclear what that would entail. The president’s announcement will take place at 14:00 (18:00 GMT) on Tuesday.

UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson urged Trump not to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” on Monday, while his French counterpart JeanYves Le Drian made clear that France, the UK and

Germany would continue to honour the accord.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has warned that his country could face “some problems” in the coming months, but stressed it will “keep working with the world”.

Envoys of Germany, France and the UK discussed the situation with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Brussels on Tuesday, an EU statement said.

An unnamed German official told Reuters news agency that representatives

of the countries had been in contact for weeks.

“In the coming days, it will also be important to remain in discussion with all sides to avoid an uncontrolled escalation,” the official said.

The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) saw Iran agree to limit the size of its stockpile of enriched uranium - which is used to make reactor fuel, but also nuclear weapons - for 15 years and the number of centrifuges installed to enrich uranium for 10 years.

Iran also agreed to modify a heavy water facility so it could not produce plutonium suitable for a bomb.

In return, sanctions imposed by the UN, US and EU that had crippled Iran’s economy were lifted.

The deal was agreed between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the US, UK, France, China and Russia - plus Germany.

Iran insists its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, and its compliance with the deal has been verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Trump has called the deal a “disaster” and “insane” and twice refused to certify to Congress that Iran is complying with it.

In January, he warned that the US would “withdraw” from the accord on 12 May - the next deadline for waiving sanctions - unless its “disastrous flaws” were fixed.

Sharif faces probe for ‘laundering money’ Islamabad, May 8 (AGENCIES): In further trouble to Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan’s top anti-corruption body on Tuesday ordered a probe against him and others for allegedly laundering $4.9 billion to India.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a press release said its chairman, Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal, took notice of reports making rounds on news channels claiming that Sharif allegedly laundered $4.9 billion to India, The Express Tribune reported.

According to the media report, this incident is mentioned in the World Bank’s Migration and Remittance Book 2016.

However, details of the media report in question have not been mentioned in the brief statement issued in Urdu, Geo TV reported.

The statement claims that the amount was laundered to the Indian Finance Ministry after which Indian foreign exchange reserves witnessed an increase and Pakistan suffered as a result.

Opposition leader Nikol elected Armenia’s new PM

Nikol Pashinyan

Tbilisi, May 8 (IANS): Armenia’s Parliament on Tuesday elected opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan as the country’s new Prime Minister, two weeks after massive anti-government protests led to his predecessor Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation. Pashinyan, who leads the liberal Yelk (“Way Out”) coalition, spearheaded weeks of protests which brought an end to 10 years of rule by Sargsyan, the BBC reported.

He received 59 votes from his fellow lawmakers in the National Assembly, six more than the minimum needed to become head of government. Minutes after his election, Pashinyan

vowed to bring “big changes” to the small Caucasian nation of barely 3 million inhabitants. Pashinyan, who led what has become known as Armenia’s “Velvet Revolution”, promised MPs that human rights would be protected and that corruption and election-rigging would end. “All people are equal before the law. There will be no people enjoying privileges in Armenia. That’s it.

Full stop,” he said.

Armenia is dependent on Russia for its security and has a Russian military base on its territory. Its peaceful uprising against single-party rule is seen as unprecedented for a former Soviet state, the BBC said. Pashinyan

told MPs that relations with Moscow would be a priority, particularly military co-operation. Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed Pashinyan’s success, looking forward to continuing “friendly relations”. Pashinyan promised snap elections as soon as “the conditions are right for a legitimate vote to take place”. He said he had no intention to cling to power but will first have to persuade Parliament to approve his Cabinet. Last Tuesday, Parliament -- controlled by the rival Republican Party -- had rejected his candidacy to replace Sargsyan. Protesters rallied against what they said was a “corrupt, oligarchic and nepotist government that had burdened them with a lack of opportunities”.

Pashinyan, 42, is a former journalist and editor who in 2013 co-founded the political party Civil Contract, which went on to join forces with the parties Bright Armenia and Republic to form the centrist Yelk alliance that obtained only nine assembly seats in the 2017 parliamentary elections.

London, May 8 (AGENCIES): Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya lost a UK lawsuit filed by Indian banks seeking to collect more than 1.15 billion pounds ($1.55 billion or over Rs 10,000 crore) amid allegations that he committed massive fraud.

Judge Andrew Henshaw in London Tuesday said the lenders, including IDBI Bank Ltd., can enforce an Indian court ruling that relates to allegations that Mallya willfully defaulted on about $1.4 billion in debt for his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. Henshaw also refused to overturn a worldwide order freezing Mallya’s assets.

The 62-year-old is fighting numerous lawsuits in the UK and his native country over fraud and moneylaundering allegations + .

He was arrested in London more than a year ago and is waging another fight to block extradition in a different court about three miles across town.

Lawyers for Mallya declined to comment after the hearing. Henshaw refused permission to appeal Tuesday’s ruling, meaning his attorneys will have to directly petition the Court of Appeal.

Attorneys at law firm TLT in London, who are representing the lenders said the ruling will allow them to enforce the underlying judgment by the Indian debt recovery tribunal immediately.

The asset freeze order had forced Mallya to live on 5,000 pounds a week, but his allowance was increased to roughly 20,000 pounds a week earlier this year, lawyers for the lenders said after the hearing.

Yuimetal) and Moa Kikuchi (a.k.a. Moametal), the latter of whom both scream and dance — admit that they had never listened to metal before joining the group. The girls wear gothy schoolgirl costumes, do choreographed dance routines and bang their heads violently.

The result is a film whose exploration of the pontiff ’s ideas and message guarantees it a five-star rave in the Vatican’s in-house newspaper. Wenders, best known for Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire, will be in Cannes to plug the film, which will open in the UK later this year.

Musicians Guild is formed by a group of young musicians namely Mele Pucho, Virie, Mengu Suokhrie and Sanen with the primary objective to promote local musicians in the state. After launching, Mele Pucho in his address highlighted the objective of Musicians Guild and also shared how musicians in the state struggled over the years to promote music and in the process he said many musicians were giving up in the absence of any platforms and sponsorship for the musicians.

Pucho said the Musicians Guild would promote local musicians to showcase their talents, may be in the little ways.

The singer took to social media to share images of her weekend birthday celebrations – featuring photos of herself with guests dancing while wearing in life-jackets. Her close friend and comedian Alan Carr later revealed that all guests got to keep one as a souvenir.

“Dirty 30!” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m not sure what I’m going to do for the next 30 years as I’ve been blessed beyond words in my life so far. Thank you to everyone for coming along for the ride the last 11 years with me. My family and friends for entertaining my super fandom of the Titanic movie. Last night was the best night of my

Adele’s Titanic themed birthday party had them dancing in life jackets… thousands of people actually died.”

Others were supportive of Adele however, with one writing: “Adele had a Titanic themed birthday party. She is wearing Rose’s gown and dancing in a life jacket. I have never loved anything more.”

“You’re wrong here,” said one fan. Adele is never problematic, it was the movie that she set as here party’s theme and not the actual tragedy. Titanic was a love story with tragedy as its backdrop,. I guess it’s simple to understand.”

Another said: “If she doesn’t release a cover of My Heart Will Go On… Adele I’m not playing, I’ve offed my wig already.”

Earlier this year, it emerged that Adele grossed a massive £142million from her last world tour.

In the latest figures released by her company Remedy Touring LLP, £142million was from ticket sales, T-shirts and other souvenirs – with the company pocketing £70million in profit, and Adele herself £42million.

This is on top of the £9million she reportedly made last year from record sales – with her latest 2015 album ’25’ shifting a massive 22million copies to date.

Cavs reach Eastern Conference finals Cleveland, May 8 (Agencies): LeBron James produced another commanding display as the Cleveland Cavaliers demolished the Toronto Raptors 128-93 to seal a series sweep and advance to the NBA Eastern Conference finals on Monday.

James finished with 29 points as Toronto’s bid to avoid the ignominy of a 4-0 series loss ended in abject failure.

Toronto had entered the playoffs as the number one seed from the Eastern Conference, desperate to finally break the spell that James and the Cavaliers have held over them in repeated playoff series meetings.

But their fragility was underscored by a rampant Cleveland on Monday, with James leading a blowout win that ensures they will be well rested for the Eastern Conference finals, where they will play either Boston or Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, Dario Saric scored 25 points as the Philadelphia 76ers kept alive their NBA Eastern Conference playoff series with the Boston Celtics on Monday, powering to a 103-92 win to avoid a clean sweep.

The Sixers subdued the Celtics in the second half to ensure a Game Five. Croatian power forward Saric led the scoring for the Sixers, using every inch of his 6ft 10in frame to cause problems for the Celtics defense to the delight of the raucous home support at the Wells Fargo Center.

The energetic TJ McConnell provided invaluable support, finishing with a career-high 19 points while Joel Embiid chipped in with 15 and Ben Simmons 19.

McConnell had come into the starting line-up in place of Robert Covington, a tactical switch that paid off handsomely for Sixers coach Brett Brown.

Game Five takes place in Boston on Wednesday, where the Celtics will look to clinch a place in the Eastern Conference finals.

Queen’s attracts top-class entry

L o n d o n, M ay 8 (Agencies): Tournament organisers are thrilled with the line-up for this summer’s Fever-Tree Championship at The Queen’s Club, which features 17 of the world’s top 30. World No 1 Rafael Nadal tops the 23 entries revealed on Tuesday, with the lowest-ranked player so far confirmed being 43rdranked Denis Shapovalov.

Five-time champion Andy Murray is also in the field along with the man who deposed him as British No 1 earlier this season, world No 22 Kyle Edmund.

Tournament director Stephen Farrow, said, “To see six of the world’s top 10 players on our entry list before you even get to the names Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic, Feliciano Lopez, Nick Kyrgios and Kyle Edmund really whets the appetite for a fantastic week of tennis.

Halep, Kvitova advance in Madrid

Simona Halep

M a d r i d, M ay 8 ( Ag enc i e s ) : Wo r l d number 1 and a two-time defending Madrid champion Simona Halep is safely through to the last 16 after a commanding 6-0 6-3 win over an in-form Elise Mertens.

Simona proved to be too strong as she finished the job in an hour and 11 minutes after a great performance on both serve and return.

The Romanian lost just four points after landing the first serve in and she saved all three break points to keep the pressure entirely on the other side of the net.

Elise has played a lot of tennis in the last month and she stood no chance today, dropping 54% of the points in her games and getting broken five times from 13

opportunities she gave to Simona.

Halep had 23 winners and 18 unforced errors and she was the dominant figure in the opening set, rattling off 23 out of last 28 points to serve a bagel in just over 20 minutes.

Mertens, who finished the match on more than 30 unforced errors, found her range in set number two and she had a chance to pull back the break she suffered at the start of the set (eight games in a row for Simona since the start of the encounter) but it wasn't to be for her, squandering three break points in games six and eight before serving to stay in the match at 3-5 down.

That ninth game proved to be the longest of the match and Simona

Iniesta’s move to China in doubt

Andres Iniesta

BARCELONA, May 8 (Agencies): Andres Iniesta’s potential move to Chinese Super League side Chongqing Lifan has been cast into doubt after they said they will not pay the Barcelona playmaker a salary that would distort the market.

Barca captain Iniesta, 33, said in April he would

leave the club he joined as a 12-year-old in the summer, with media reports suggesting he would be moving to Chongqing.

In a statement on social network Weibo on Friday, the Chinese side’s president Jiang Lizhang said they are working with Iniesta in areas including marketing and youth education, but there is no deal for him to play.

Chongqing said they would adhere to rational investment and follow rules set by the governmentcontrolled Chinese Football Association, which includes a salary cap.

Spanish reports had indicated Iniesta was close to agreeing a three-year deal with Chongqing, worth 81 million euros ($97 million).

Petra Kvitova

converted her fifth match point to cross the finish line and book her place in the third round.

Another two-time Madrid champion Petra Kvitova has booked her place in the third round after a hard-fought 6-3 7-6 win over Monica Puig in an hour and 53 minutes.

Petra arrived in Madrid after winning the title in Prague on Saturday and she barely escaped playing another set, saving three break points in game 11 of set number two and a set point in a tight tie break to preserve some energy for her next clash against Sasnovich or Kontaveit.

The Czech won just four points more than her rival and she had to save all eight break points to stay in front, breaking Puig twice

Speaking at the prize distribution ceremony, the chief guest advised the cadets to be careful while playing such kind of games as it is prone to serious injury if not played with correct technique.

Hockey is not a popular game in north east India when compared to football, therefore, the championship is a platform where cadets can learn skills to play hockey in professional manner, said Keskar and further conveyed his compliments to the winners and all the participating teams.

Finch had been deemed the favourite to become the ODI captain but Cricket Australia (CA) have decided to go with Paine in a bid for stability in this turbulent period.

However, CA chief selector Trevor Hohns confirmed Paine’s appointment was not permanent.

“Tim is a strong leader and will captain the side for this series, supported

by Aaron. A decision on a permanent one-day captain will be made in due course,” Hohns was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

In the absence of the seasoned Smith and Warner, the board decided to recall star Test spinner Nathan Lyon to the ODI side after a two-year gap. Ashton Agar, the spinner all-rounder, has

Adam Zampa, who had been the incumbent limited overs spinner, has been left out from both the 15-man ODI squad for the

five-match series against England and also the 14man T20 squad.

Australia will also be without the services of ailing quicks Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, along with all-rounder Mitchell Marsh who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
