Anti-CAB: 18 hr Nagaland bandh from today

Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 8 (NPN): Heeding to the call of the North East Forum for Indigenous People (NEFIP), the Joint Committee for Prevention of Illegal Immigrants (JCPI) has announced an 18-hour Nagaland bandh from 6 p.m. on Tuesday to 12 noon on Wednesday in protest against the Centre’s announcement to table the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) in Winter Session of Parliament. The development follows NEFIP decision to resume its agitation against the CAB and authorising federating State bodies to decide the mode of agitation.

Talking to Nagaland Post, JCPI secretary Tia Longchar said the committee has appealed to all owners of shops and business establishments to voluntarily down their shutters as a sign of protest. He said schools and colleges having exams, medical emergencies, wedding etc. have been exempted from the purview of the bandh.

However, there was no mention of restriction on vehicular movements.

Since JCPI will not be deploying volunteers to impose the bandh, Tia said

DoTE notifies training institutes

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 8 (NPN): Directorate of Te c h n i c a l E d u c a t i o n (DoTE) Monday notified the commercial training private institutes within Nagaland and centres running computer/hardware courses and IT related courses not to award ‘Diploma’ certificate without the approval of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) New Delhi.

Technical Education department also stated that training duration less than 3 years shall not be granted further extension to run the institute and the students obtaining certificates from such institute shall be treated as null and void.

Stating that orders have been issued to such institutes to adhere to the norms and guidelines, the department, however, said that there were many institutes still running the courses by awarding “Diploma” in the certificates, which cannot be used until and unless it was recognized by All India Council for Technical Education (norms & guidelines).

Further, the department stated that training duration less than three years can use the word “Certificate Course” and not as Diploma.

This is it!

“This is creating a mountain out of garbage.”

Bandh from Nov 19, 6 pm to Nov 20, 12 noon Shops urged to voluntarily down shutters

this was a clarion call to the people of Nagaland to extend solidarity and stand up against Centre’s move to push the controversial Bill.

And once this contentious Bill becomes an Act, it would forever change the demography of the entire North-eastern States where indigenous population would become a minority in their own land like Tripura.

Therefore, JCPI convener K Ghokheto Chopi and secretary Tia Longchar in a press note explained that it had decided to announce a Nagaland shut-down.

JCPI urged all citizens of the State to extend full cooperation and bear with the inconveniences thus caused by suspending all normal activities and engagements to give a collective message to Centre to withdraw the controversial CAB. Meanwhile, an emergency meeting of Kohimabased tribal hohos and CSOs held at Red Cross Complex, Kohima on Monday in the wake of the Centre’s “adamant” attitude to introduce CAB unanimously decided

to extend full cooperation to NEFIP and JCPI’s call for total Nagaland shutdown.

According to the organisations, the bandh has been called in protest against the “callous attitude” of Government of India (GoI) against the North-eastern region and Nagaland in particular despite “our continuous protest against the monster Bill”. They contended that the Bill, once passed by Parliament would change the demography of the entire region whereby “our economy, identity, culture and rights as indigenous people will be subverted by alien culture” and the people would become a minority in their own ancestral land.

The present religionb a s e d c i t i z e n s h i p wa s against the secular principle of Indian constitution and the illegal immigrants who could prove their residency status for the last six years in the State will be naturalised as legal citizens like any of “us”, they added.

The meeting also appealed to all sections of the society to rise on the

occasion and stand for their rights and reject CAB with their unflinching support to the bandh to send a strong message to GoI not to isolate the minority groups of Northeast from mainland India. This was stated in a press release by NEFIP vicepresident Theja Therieh.

M e a n w h i l e, o r g a nizations likes the Naga Mothers’ Association and Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation have come out in support of the state-wide bandh.

NSF forwards memo to Gov: Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), a constituent of the North East Students Organization (NESO), has affirmed that it would go to any extent to see that the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) “shall not bring any negative impact upon the Nagas in general.”

Forwarding a NESO memorandum to the governor of Nagaland, NSF president Ninoto Awomi and general secretary Liremo R Kikon said that the CAB was an issue that was “very dear” to the federation and hoped that the governor would give the “deserved regard” to the forwarded letters of the NESO.

Modi and Manmohan spar over Rajya Sabha’s system of checks and balances

NEW DELHI, NOV 18 (AGENCIES): T he 250th session of the Rajya Sabha began Monday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his predecessor Manmohan Singh both speaking about its significance in Indian democracy, but also disagreeing with each other on the perception of it being a roadblock to legislation passed by the government in the Lok Sabha.

“The Rajya Sabha is about checks and balances.

This is absolutely essential for our democracy. Debates

have to be many and effective. But, there is also a difference between checking and clogging (and between) balance and blocking,” said PM Modi.

He was referring to the fact that many bills that his government passed in the Lok Sabha in its first term were not cleared by the Rajya Sabha.

However, Modi went on to praise the Rajya Sabha for working “to further unity”, such as passing the bills pertaining to Articles 370 and 35(A). On the other

Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea to hike tariffs from December NEW DELHI, NOV 18 (IANS): The ongoing telecom crisis is set to hit the customers hard with two of the country`s largest telcos -Bharti Airtel and Vodafone -- deciding to hike tariffs from December 1 after they posted historic losses on account of provisioning for the AGR pending dues.

Both the players, however, did not announce the quantum of hike that is expected to be worked out between now and December 1.

“The telecom sector is highly capital intensive with fast changing technology cycles that require continuing investments. It is, therefore, extremely important that the industry remains viable to support the vision of Digital India,” Bharti Airtel said in a statement.

“Accordingly, Airtel

will appropriately increase price offerings in the month beginning December,” it added.

Vodafone had also noted that the acute financial stress in the telecom sector has been acknowledged by all stakeholders and a high-level committee of secretaries (CoS) headed by the Cabinet Secretary is looking into providing appropriate relief.

Vodafone Idea Ltd had said that it would “suitably increase the prices of its tariffs” effective from December 1.

Airtel and Vodafone Idea had posted a combined loss of Rs 74,000 crore in Q2 by provisioning for the AGR pending dues. Vodafone has hinted at not being able to remain as a going concern if relief does not come for the sector.

hand, Congress leader Singh said the House’s central role was to provide checks and balances to the majority government in the Lok Sabha, along with its other key role — to represent the interests of the states in India’s federal union.

“When there is criticism of the Rajya Sabha, it is fundamentally a misunderstanding of these historic roles bestowed upon this august chamber. It is our duty to ensure that no law is passed in haste and in an atmosphere of heightened emotions,” Singh said.

He also pointed out that in the 16th Lok Sabha, Modi’s first as PM, only 25 per cent of the bills introduced were referred to parliamentary committees, much lower than the 71 per cent and 60 per cent in the 15th and 14th Lok Sabha respectively, when Singh was PM.

BAN expresses dismay, says ‘illegal taxation is back’ DIMAPUR, NOV 18 (NPN): Business Association of Nagas (BAN) expressed anguish that despite enormous time and effort put in by tribal bodies and organizations under the aegis of the Public Action Committee of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) the fight against illegal taxation/collection has become futile as the same activity has started at the check gates leading to rise in prices of certain commodities.

With the festive season round the corner, BAN said the business community was hopeful of a ‘tax free’ Christmas. However, with some “unsculpturous elements” having other ideas, BAN said the

business community will have to pass on the tax burden to the citizens, ultimately leading to rise in price of commodities.

While appreciating “the pretty picture” of NCD and WC, NNPGs in the press with the message that “issues have been amicably resolved”, BAN however said that the citizens would surely like to know from the NCD what issues were resolved? NCD being the apex tribal body in Dimapur and having started a noble initiative like the PAC, BAN said the business community and citizens were hopeful that this initiative will continue to curb the menace of illegal taxation.

RSS volunteers fan out in NE to explain CAB

Protestors during the protest against CAB. (File) GUWAHATI, Nov 18 (Agencies): With several northeast groups raising their voice against the NDA government’s plan to introduce the Citizenship Amendment Bill in the winter session, RSS volunteers have fanned out to different parts of the region to explain the nuances of the bill.

According to Economic Times, RSS is pressing for the bill as the final National Register of Citizens (NRC), published on August 31, was not up to its expectations.

“We know there will be protest and opposition to the bill but we will reach out to the people to explain that it will not affect the demographic profile of Assam,” a senior RSS leader told ET. “Our volunteers have started reaching out to villages with leaflets that will explain in local language why the bill is necessary and how it won’t affect

the indigenous people as has been claimed by some organisations,” he said.

The RSS leader assured the bill will hardly impact Assam or any other northeastern state. “The bill is for the whole country and will be a big relief for several stateless people in Delhi, West Bengal, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.”

Assam finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said in Nalbari recently that the revised bill will be placed in Parliament in the winter session.

“The revised draft of CAB is different from the earlier one and will protect the unique culture and identity of the people of northeast,” said Sarma.

The minister said in the Lok Sabha elections and panchayat polls, people had voted for BJP when CAB was an election issue.

He said BJP had been committed to the CAB since 30 years.

However, there have been a lot of resentment against the bill and student bodies have voiced their anger against it. The umbrella organisation of student bodies of the region, North East Students’ Organisation, held demonstrations on Monday.

“We will not accept the bill — it is unconstitutional, illegal and anti-indigenous.

We won’t accept it under any circumstances,” said All Assam Students Union (Aasu) chief adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya.

The bill is aimed at making minority communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan eligible to apply for Indian citizenship.

The bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on January 8 but due to protests from several organisations in northeast and some NDA allies, it was not tabled in the Rajya Sabha.

BJP had often argued that as the NRC authority refused to accept refugee certificates issued before 1971, large-scale Bengali Hindu, Koch Rajbonshi and Buddhists couldn’t make it to the list. Before the Lok Sabha polls early this year, RSS cadres across Assam initiated mass contact programmes, where they explained that the bill is not inconsistent with the interests of the indigenous people in the region.

Top ULFA leader arrested on extortion charges Itanagar, Nov 18 (PTI): A special investigation team (SIT) of the Arunachal Police has arrested a top ULFA (I) leader for allegedly extorting money from high-profile politicians, a senior officer said on Monday.

Ranjan Bikash Borgohain, a resident of Dibrugarh district in Assam, was apprehended last week on the outskirts of Guwahati by a team of officers, led by SIT Superintendent of Police Navdeep Singh Brar.

“After sustained efforts in Delhi, Dibrugarh, and Guwahati over a period of one month, Ranjan Bikash Borghain was finally traced and arrested,” the SP said.

He was produced before the court the next day which remanded him in seven-day police custody, Brar said.

“Borghain claimed that he was a senior commander of the banned outfit. We have seized from his possession letters addressed to leaders of various parties with signatures of United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) deputy commander-in-chief Drishti Rajkhowa.

“Two diaries with contacts of prominent political figures, five debit/credit cards of various banks and three mobile phones were also found in his possession,” the SP said.

During interrogation, the accused revealed that he had served time in Tihar Jail for his extortion bids, Brar said.

Centre bans Meghalaya-based insurgent group HNLC declaring as its objective the secession of the state’s areas, which are largely inhabited by Khasi and Jaintia tribals, from the Indian Union.

The group continues to intimidate and bully civilians to extort funds, maintains links with other insurgent groups of the Northeast to carry out acts of extortion and intimidation, and maintains camps in Bangladesh to give sanc-

tuary and training to its cadre, it said.

The central government is also of the opinion that HNLC’s activities are detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India.

If these are not immediately curbed and controlled, the HNLC will regroup and rearm itself, expand its cadre base, procure sophisticated weapons, cause loss of lives of civilians and security forces, and accelerate its

New Delhi, Nov 18 (PTI): Around 100 JNU students, including students union president Aishe Ghosh, were detained and some were injured when police allegedly baton-charged protestors as they marched towards Parliament on the first day of Winter Session on Monday, demanding a total rollback of the hostel fee hike.

The protesting students sat at the road outside Safdurjung Tomb demanding the release of those detained and a meeting with officials of the HRD Ministry. The top brass of Delhi police tried to initiate a dialogue with them and urged them to not take law into their hands.

Traffic was affected in some parts of Lutyens’ Delhi as the students marched towards Parliament. Among other intersections, vehicles were moving at a snail’s pace on Nelson Mandela Marg, Aurobindo Marg and Baba Gang Nath Marg.

The entry and exit points of three Delhi Metro stations near Parliament were shut down temporarily and trains did not halt at Udyog Bhawan and Patel Chowk. The services resumed four hours later.

the march and of injuries they received allegedly in a lathicharge by police, as the hashtag “emergencyinJNU” trended on the microblogging site. Top police officials were on their toes as they controlled the crowd that was chanting slogans against the force.

The students, who were holding a protest on the university’s premises for the past three weeks, hit the streets carrying placards, seeking to get the attention of Parliament about their demand.

The protesters asserted

that they would not relent until the government withdrew the hike.

JNUSU vice president Saket Moon said, “The police is telling us they will take a delegation to meet HRD officials. We will decide on sending a delegation only after our fellows detained at unknown locations are released. We want representation in the HRD panel.”

Hundreds of police personnel stopped the students at the Baba Ganganath Marg, around 600 metres from the main gate

Rajnath urges intl’ community to eliminate terrorist safe havens

Ba n g ko k , N ov 1 8 (PTI): Hitting out at countries using terrorism to pursue political goals, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday pitched for strong global action against terrorist safe havens and steps to choke terror financing.

In an address at the 6th ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting Plus (ADMM Plus) here, Singh, without taking name of any country, said state-sponsored terrorism was not just a “painful cancer”, but is also the leading reason for unsustainable security. The ADMM-Plus is a platform comprising ASEAN and its eight dialogue partners including India. The grouping focuses its work on maritime security, counter-terrorism and humanitarian assistance.

“It is so much worse when terrorists are aided, abetted, armed, financed and sheltered by States. The interplay between states and non-state actors, used as proxies to foment violence, has worsened this menace.

“The persistence of state-sponsored terrorism

Rajnath Singh (File)

is not just a painful cancer, it is also the leading reason for unsustainable security,” Singh said in his remarks seen as directed at Pakistan.

Terrorist safe havens will have to be eliminated and their financing channels to be choked to thwart their cross-border movement to ensure sustainable regional security, Singh said.

He said some states were using terrorism to pursue political goals, making regional security vulnerable.

On the negotiations for a code of conduct in the South China Sea, Singh hoped that the outcome of these talks will be in sync with all relevant international laws, including United Nations Convention on the Law of

CAB ‘a trap’ like NRC: Mamata Coochbehar (WB), Nov 18 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lashed out against the BJP government at the Centre on Monday for planning to introduce the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 in Parliament and said the proposed legislation is a “trap” like the NRC to exclude Bengalis and Hindus as legal citizens of the country.

The CAB, 2019 is expected to be introduced in the winter session of Parliament, which began today, as the previous one had lapsed as it was not tabled in the Rajya Sabha after being passed by Lok Sabha on January 8. She also criticised the Centre for failing to revive the Indian economy, Banerjee said the government is only interested in selling out PSUs like Air India instead of taking steps to revive it.

“The Centre is planning to bring in CAB but let me tell you it is just another trap like the NRC. It is a trap to exclude Bengalis and Hindus from the list of legal citizens and make them refugees in their own countries,” Banerjee said. The bill seeks to provide Indian citizenship

the Sea. Emphasising the need to protect the rights of states that are not party to these negotiations, he expressed hope that the situation will remain stable, without the use or threat of use of force or militarisation of the region. China has increased its military assertiveness in the disputed South China Sea region. On the Indo-Pacific region, he said India’s vision for it was based on the idea of sustainable security as it focuses on a free, open, inclusive and rules-based Indo-Pacific. India is for ensuring respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of everyone involved, Singh said.

He said the sustainability implies prioritisation of peaceful resolution of disputes, avoidance of use or threat of use of force and adherence to international laws. In the context of terrorism, security is only effective when it is sustainable, Singh said, adding it will be sustainable only when the interests of all in the region are taken on board.

of the university in south Delhi, and some of them were forcefully stopped from moving ahead.

Initially, the barricades outside the Jawaharlal Nehru University’s gates were removed and the students were allowed to march. The students managed to march till Safdarjung Tomb near Lodhi Road, where they were stopped again as the Delhi police officials tried to strike a dialogue with them.

Police officers asked the protestors to sit in one lane on Safdurjung road and clear the rest of the passage

for vehicles.

Aishe Gosh said they took out a peaceful march from JNU. “The police thought they would detain two office bearers and the movement would end, but every student is a leader. We are all fighting together. The Delhi Police is upset. Till the time there is not a complete rollback of the hike and of the IHA manual, we will continue our agitation.”

She also asked why male police personnel were detaining women students.

JNUSU secretary Satish Chandra Yadav said the university vice chancellor must resign and said they will raise this demanded with the HRD Ministry.

Earlier in the day, the Ministry of Human Resource Development appointed a three-member committee to recommend ways to restore normal functioning of the JNU which has been witnessing periodic protests by students over a variety of issues.

While the committee will initiate dialogue with the students and varsity administration immediately and submit recommendations on actions to be taken, the UGC will provide required support for functioning of the committee, the HRD secretary said.

Soldiers trapped in snow after avalanche in Siachen

New Delhi, Nov 18 (Agencies): Several Army jawans are stuck under snow after an avalanche hit an Army post in the Siachen Glacier, Army sources have said. The avalanche hit the Army position in the northern glacier at around 3:30 pm on Monday.

The Army troops have begun the rescue and recovery operations, Zeenews reported. Army sources have said that a total of

eight Army personnel hit by the avalanche were part of a patrolling party. The Army personnel were in the Siachen Glacier when the incident happened. The avalanche had taken place in the Northern Glacier where the altitude is around 18,000 feet and above. In February this year, 10 Army jawans got trapped under 35 feet of snow after a wall of ice came crashing down on them at the Siachen Glacier.

“After our government came to power we had taken steps to grant citizenship to refugees of enclaves in Coochbehar district. But we had never imposed any condition that they have to be in this country for six years,” Banerjee said. The proposed implementation of National Register of Citizens in Bengal has turned into a flash point in West Bengal with the Trinamool Congress government vehemently opposing it. It had created a panic claiming 11 lives in the state following the omission of about 19.6 lakh names from the final NRC list in Assam.

Tough task

t has been around six years after ACAUT (earlier, Action Committee Against Unabated Taxation, later Against Corruption And Unabated Taxation) Nagaland succeeded in mainstreaming public outcry against the issues which led the government to form the High Power Committee in 2014 to look into the issues of corruption and illegal taxation and after Public Action Committee (PAC) under Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) spearheading the drive against illegal, unauthorised and multiple tax collections at various check gates in Dimapur, there has been no official response. The rallies conducted by ACAUT Nagaland throughout Nagaland evoked tremendous response and support but the rallies proved only to be platforms for expressions of grievances. It was the PAC volunteers drawn from all NCD tribe affiliates, who launched the week-long drive against gate collections during September this year, which finally did the biting after all the barking. The PAC drive hurt some sections that went hammer and tong against the PAC leaders. This was a confirmation that some or many would be hurt when it came to ceding or giving away their self-acclaimed and appointed right to grab what they want to fund their lifestyles, at the expense of numerous and helpless victims. While the public were groaning under burgeoning “taxes” illegally imposed, their own elected government chose not to rock the boat for the past few decades. Any talk of catching the bull by the horns or even belling the cat was sufficient to send shivers. Instead, the red-herring for the elected was to declare their overused clichés on playing the role as facilitators and call upon the government of India and negotiators for early solution and also urge upon the people to unite for solution. What has probably brought a dynamic change was the arrival of R.N. Ravi as the governor of Nagaland. Ravi had reminded the state politicians that they were elected by the people to fulfil their constitutional roles and responsibilities to provide good governance and not passing resolutions for political solution. The PAC drive, though restricted within check gates, had a profound impact especially in the light of the conclusion of the unending and protracted negotiations which now await the inking of a final agreement for solution. Ravi has made no bones about what Nagaland badly needed- a transparent and accountable system where the rule of the law prevails. After all said and done, it is now incumbent upon the state government to seriously ponder over the urgent need to streamline the delivery system.

There is therefore, a need to constitute a Task Force to tackle all kinds of illegal activities so as to clearly demarcate the boundary between legal and acceptable and what is illegal and unacceptable. The alibi of any cause or ideology should no longer be allowed to operate at will in the grey zone that has exacted tremendous damage on people and their beliefs.

The Task Force comprising of tribe and government representatives, law enforcement etc may revisit the issues raised during the decades and find out remedies. As a start, the government should also deliver on the report of the High Power Committee and make it public since it had been tasked with studying and recommending issues of public interest/concern.

DailyDevotion Winning into Freedom If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

—John 8:36 If there is even a trace of individual self-satisfaction left in us, it always says, “I can’t surrender,” or “I can’t be free.” But the spiritual part of our being never says “I can’t”; it simply soaks up everything around it. Our spirit hungers for more and more. It is the way we are built. We are designed with a great capacity for God, but sin, our own individuality, and wrong thinking keep us from getting to Him. God delivers us from sin— we have to deliver ourselves from our individuality. This means offering our natural life to God and sacrificing it to Him, so He may transform it into spiritual life through our obedience.

God pays no attention to our natural individuality in the development of our spiritual life. His plan runs right through our natural life. We must see to it that we aid and assist God, and not stand against Him by saying, “I can’t do that.” God will not discipline us; we must discipline ourselves. God will not bring our “arguments…and every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5)— we have to do it. Don’t say, “Oh, Lord, I suffer from wandering thoughts.” Don’tsuffer from wandering thoughts. Stop listening to the tyranny of your individual natural life and win freedom into the spiritual life.

“If the Son makes you free….” Do not substitute Savior for Son in this passage. The Savior has set us free from sin, but this is the freedom that comes from being set free from myself by the Son. It is what Paul meant in Galatians 2:20when he said, “I have been crucified with Christ….” His individuality had been broken and his spirit had been united with his Lord; not just merged into Him, but made one with Him. “…you shall be free indeed”— free to the very core of your being; free from the inside to the outside. We tend to rely on our own energy, instead of being energized by the power that comes from identification with Jesus.

Quotes

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become. ~ Louis Pasteur

A

few months ago a Veganfest was held in Delhi. It was attended by hundreds of young, affluent, well read and enthusiastic people.

The speakers were from all over the world. But each one represented a company that was making vegan products: mock meat, cosmetics etc.

There were no philosophers, no one to define what veganism could and should be. It was a consumer event.

That is what worries me about the rapidly spreading vegan movement.

It is simply about buying “something else”. It was meant to be transformative, something that would make the world a gentler, happier place, save animals and reduce suffering. Instead it is yet another fashion statement.

Let us look at the impact of veganism on the food industry. If 5% of the US and Britain are vegans then meat consumption should have dropped by that amount. Instead it has increased by 10%.

In fact, the meat industry has embraced veganism as another way to make a quick buck. All meat chains have added a few vegan items to their menus. No restaurant has lost any customers due to veganism (which they should have), they have added new ones. Vegans go to Mc Donald’s and order a vegan burger – which helps keep Mac Donald’s

profits rolling so that they can kill more animals and make more meat burgers.

Look at the economics.

Greggs is a meat sausage roll company. They started a vegan sausage roll and their profits went up by 58%. But if customers were simply switching from the meat to the plant-based sausage roll, profits would have stayed the same. Has their meat production dropped? Not by one roll.

Papa John’s, the meat and dairy pizza chain, has also seen a boost from its vegan “sheese” range which it launched on the same day as its hotdog version. “Our vegan customers like to share on social media how happy they are that we are catering for them.”

Every supermarket has opened a vegan section. But it is nothing compared to their meat, cheese and dairy sections. Ice cream giants have non dairy ice cream – but they also sell dairy ice cream. Burger King now has a vegan burger. Has this changed the people eating meat burgers ? No. Burger King customers continue to buy beef burgers. But now vegans and vegetarians come through the doors too. They have simply widened their customer base, not changed habits or spending choices.

The vegan movement, that should be doing all it can to put animal killers out of business, is now handing over its money to them. Do

Questions that need to be answered Burger King, Mac Donald’s and KFC have a special fund into which they put vegan money in order to rescue animals, or clean up the planet? No, the core business of these corporations is animal slaughter for food.

By financially supporting them, all vegans do is fund their ability to continue their environmentally damaging meals. If a burger chain offers one vegan option, you are not ‘flexing your vegan muscles’ by giving them your money. You are falling into their capitalist trap.

Likewise, giving money to leather boot companies that also have boots made of polyurethane plastic in every colour. The company that sells both has now doubled its sales in leather.

Vegans seem to believe that we can simply spend our way to animal liberation and saving the planet. All you have to do is descend on supermarkets and restaurant chains, stuff your trolleys and stomachs with vegan products and suddenly the world will become a better place for all species. But

you don’t end exploitation by handing your money to exploiters. All you do is bankroll further exploitation. Vegans are not here to make the shopping aisles bigger, but to end exploitation. You cannot spend your way to paradise.

This emphasis on buying different versions of the same products, from the same companies, has led to masses of clever advertising jugglery by companies. All the things that were always vegan, now have a vegan label on them : vegan beer, vegan sofas, even a vegan massage. Something that was called a soya protein shake is now a vegan protein shake. More restaurants, more clothes, more brands of cosmetics. Basically, it is just “greenwashing”.

For instance, Body Shop is where rich vegans buy their cosmetics from.

But Body Shop is owned by L’Oreal, one of the largest testers of animals in the cosmetic world. Body Shop is simply their outlet to capture the vegan consumer. Dairyfree ice-cream from Ben &

Jerry’s may sound good, but it is owned by Unilever, the villains of vivisection.

That vegans are being taken for a ride, on the “vegan consumer train”, is obvious. Last year Daiya, the maker of vegan cheeses, sold their company to a Japanese pharmaceutical company that tortures animals for “research.” So many companies have built their business on veganism and then sold out to larger non-vegan conglomerates.

Companies don’t care about the rights of animals, they care about the wallets of their owners. Corporations view the earth, nonhumans and humans, as capital to profit from and exploit.

Vegfests should not be simply about food, community and entertainment.

Veganism is not a trendy lifestyle, or something that you can show off with to other people at social events.

Today, vegan magazines are just about food recipes and advertisers: clothing, travel, cosmetics. Not a single magazine or even blog, undertakes to grapple with the real issues of veganism – education, government policies, critical thinking, speciesist language (you pig/dog/swine !) capitalism, non human rights, the animal industrial complex.

Should our Indian exports be solely based on meat/ eggs and milk ?

Veganism is now the 21st century version of

California’s Haight –Ashbury hippie cult. Handled in an irresponsible style, and quickly seen as a drug fuelled protest, this serious anti war movement of the 60s was short lived.

Veganism now is seen as a temporary fad adopted by youthful, rebellious, teenagers in search of “self expression”. Like all fads it, unfortunately, belongs to a teenage world and will be outgrown in adulthood.

Going vegan is one tool which can be used to undermine the huge impact commercial animal agriculture has on our planet’s health, climate and biodiversity. But the simple eating of vegan food alone isn’t necessarily going to undermine these practices. What we eat, how it is produced, and the amount we consume, all are questions that need to be answered as we transform food production. These questions are not answered when our dietary choices boil down to choosing the latest cool vegan option.

Vegans needs to be wary about how the switch to plant-based diets can be easily incorporated into existing unsustainable food systems, making it not the lifestyle of ecological warriors but simply another mainstream consumer choice.

Meeteis (Manipuris) and Nagas

M

eetei’s fear is misconstrued: The article entitled “Meetei’s Paradox” written by Radhabinod Koijam, the former Chief Minister of Manipur, and published in Nagaland based newspapers and widely circulated in social media is a seminal piece to examine if we are serious about building up lasting and harmonious ethno- relationship in Manipur. He challenged his community (Meeteis) to think beyond the Naga political issue which may be inked any time in the near future. Some leaders have placed the Naga issue at high pedestal to be seen as a threat to Meetei community.

This is a misconstrued conception. The reality is that Manipur will continue to remain as State even after Nagas’ solution.

Meeteis will continue to control over their land and all the resources in their jurisdiction.

They will continue to receive fund from Centre for various projects. They will continue to enjoy all the facilities. In the Valley, there is International Airport. Railway line is almost completing that directly connects Silchar and Imphal. There are many reputed hospitals and medical research centres.

There is High Court and many educational institutions with international standard. Sports Complex of national standard is also there. Valley is blessed with very fertile land. The climate condition suits for animal husbandry, fishery, poultry, etc. Imphal has one of the biggest markets (Ima Keithel) in the world solely run by local women. Meeteis are very hardworking people and therefore their presence is felt in all the north eastern states. In terms of human development resource, Meeteis excel much more than many other communities with thousands of gazetted officers and bureaucrats both in the state and in Centre. Thus, Meeteis have nothing to fear or worry as the aftermath of the Naga final settlement with India.

Unique history of Meeteis and Nagas: It is time for all communities in Manipur to move forward with the change of time. No community should remain as victim of the past. We need to understand the dynamic of modern society. Radhabinod Koijam rightly pointed out that ‘everything changes....situations and relations change in time giving rise to new equations...’.

Therefore, there is also no guarantee that Nagas and Meeteis will live together under the same roof forever. We need to accept change and act accordingly. It is time for both the communities to recognise the unique history of each other. The Nagas since time immemorial lives in their

villages with full freedom and rights. Meeteis community, though initially were of seven clans, gradually absorbed into a single community in the course of history. Thus they lived under a monarchical Kings for centuries. Cutting the history short, it was the British who made possible for the Meeteis and Nagas to interact with each other.

The British knew very well that Meeteis and Nagas were of two distinct entities and kept them under separate administration.

Even after India got Independence in 1947 and Manipur attained Statehood in 1972, there was dual administrationone for the Hills and the other for the Valley- to maintain the unique history and culture of the different communities. It is because of this unique history that Meeteis cannot buy land and settle in the hill areas from the past till today. In 1949, when the Meetei Maharaja signed the Merger Agreement in Shillong, he signed only for the Meeteis with a limited geographical area of 700sq.km approximately.

With all these facts in hand, it is not a good sign of some leaders giving misinformation to the innocent public about the rights of the Nagas.

Reciprocity is the need of the hour: With better weapons and standing soldiers and under the patronage of British government, the Meetei Kings were able to intrude into many Naga villages and forcibly collected tax and imposed forced labour.

Thus the Nagas have helped the Meeteis to build up their Kingdom. When the Burmese King invaded Kangleipak Kingdom, almost all the Meetei men fled the Valley. The hill tribes especially the Tangkhuls heartily welcomed them and provided them shelter for seven years (1819-1826). Many Naga men have helped the Meetei Kings to fight against Burmese. It is time for the Meeteis to reciprocate the good gesture shown by the Nagas. The Nagas have suffered for long. Criticising the GOI for trying to help the Nagas, to restore their distinct identity as in the past, shows unfriendly attitude of some Meetei leaders. The opposition to any type of solution including financial package or autonomy to be granted to the Nagas is constitutionally unfounded.

There are many provisions in the Constitution of India to protect and develop the less developed people’s groups such as the adivasis, the tribals and other minority groups. For instance, there is Bodo Territorial Council in Assam. Even within Nagaland, there is provision/ quota to develop backward tribes. While there is a clear stance on the GOI that Naga

final solution will not affect the territorial integrity of Manipur, objection to certain autonomy or economy package based on Naga ethnicity/nationality is unbecoming for a civilized society like Meetei. The Nagas are not asking anything from the Meeteis. Nagas cannot live under the hegemonic rule of a particular community forever. By divine arrangement or human made, the Meeteis are home just to the valley of Manipur whereas the Nagas are distributed in different parts of India and Myanmar. The long desire for the Nagas in Manipur to live under single administrative unit with all other Naga brothers and sisters in Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Myanmar should be respected by every neighbouring community.

Live as good neighbours: Meddling in Naga issue will not bring any benefit to the Meeteis in the long run. Once the Naga issue is settled politically, the imposition of AFSPA may come to a halt in Naga inhabited areas. The process of militarisation may be reduced.

Nagas may get certain rights to control their natural resources and maintain their culture as well. Meetei’s political leaders, intellectuals and leaders of civil organizations need to put their heads together and find the way out for future. If there is unrest in the Valley after the final IndoNaga is inked, militarisation and AFSPA will continue in the Valley. Indian armies will then continue to occupy hectares and hectares of fertile land for settlement and also reside in civilian areas and educational institutions. With the introduction of CAB, there will be a huge demographic disturbance in the valley. Livelihoods of thousands of peasant and petty traders will be affected. Therefore, Meeteis should think for their future generation. If they continue to make Naga issue as the common goal or binding force, a time may come when Meitei community will be disintegrated into pieces. We have to accept the contemporary reality. Employing coercive means and threats to force the Nagas to live together under one roof with Meeteis may bring more harm than healing to the age-old relationship between the two communities. If the Meeteis help the Nagas to get their rightful share at this crucial juncture of Naga’s struggle, surely Nagas will come to their rescue in times of need. It is high time for both the Nagas and Meeteis to search ways and means to live together as “good neighbours” rather than as “chaotic family.”

NESO memorandum to PM and HM (Citizenship (Amendment) Bill - Opposition thereto)

Respected Sir, The North East Students’ Organization (NESO), which consist of All Arunachal Pradesh Student’s Union (AAPSU), All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU), Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), Khasi Students’ Union (KSU), Garo Students’ Union (GSU), Mizo Zirlai Paul (MZP), Twipura Students’ Federation (TSF) which represents the students’ community of the entire region belonging to different languages and religions is submitting this memorandum to express our dismay and displeasure that the Government of India has again intended to introduce the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in Parliament.

Sir, as you might recall that there was tension and public agitation in the whole of North East in the month of January and February 2019 when your Government was trying to get the Bill passed in the Rajya Sabha which ultimately was not tabled taking into account the sentiments of the indigenous peoples of the North East.

But Sir, the attention of the NESO has again been drawn to various announcements and newspaper reports that your Government is again planning to bring back the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in this coming session of Parliament in which we as indigenous peoples of the North East are vehemently opposed to such a move.

In this regard, we would like to highlight that the entire North East Region is infested with foreigners from the erstwhile East Pakistan and now, Bangladesh. They have infiltrated into and polluted every aspect of our social life. The politicians have supported them which threaten the identity of the indigenous peoples of the region. All the states of the region have suffered badly due to the illegal flow of the foreigners without any hindrance.

It may also be reminded that many states of the North East have taken the load of Hindu refugees who have migrated due to the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971 and this Citizen (Amendment) Bill is again

an attempt to impose the burden of the post-1971 Hindu Bangladeshis in the entire North East region which is not justified to say the least and North East is not a dumping ground for illegal Bangladeshis and to us ‘a foreigner is a foreigner irrespective of his religion’. It should be a commonsense that the proposed Bill will defeat the very purpose of signing the Assam Accord. The NESO fully supported signing of the Assam Accord by the All Assam Students’ Union setting 25th March 1971 as the cut off year for detection and deportation of the foreigners from Assam. We oppose the objective of the Bill and it should not be adopted by Parliament under any circumstances. Such an undesirable step by Parliament will once again agitate the entire North East region. We all have a responsibility to avoid such a potentiality.

Sir, we feel that the North East Region remains a distant place for the Union Government. The Union government do not understand our problems and our aspirations. Our social structure, our history and our cultural values are unknown to the rest of the country. The intended Bill is the latest example that the lawmakers of the country have no regard for the future of the indigenous peoples of the North East Region.

In a straightforward language we totally oppose the intended Bill and we demand that the Bill should not be brought back but instead Inner Line Permit system should be introduced for the entire region, National Register of Citizens (NRC) with a Base Year for each states should be implemented and also Constitutional safeguard should be granted to the people of NE States that must delegate vast federal authority including the rights over land and its natural resources. We request the Honourable Prime Minister to kindly consider our appeal which we make on behalf of the students’ community in particular and the indigenous peoples of the whole North East region in general.

Samuel B. Jyrwa, chairman and Sinam Prakash Sing, secretary general, NESO

Reader’s Post Sir,

Blessings untold

The revival crusades that have just concluded in Mokokchung and Dimapur were truly showers of blessings for the spiritually hunger Nagas. Such revival crusades need to be organised from time to time so that many more people are blessed and healed from various ailments of the body and mind.

Nagas are at a juncture where we really need to become less materialistic and turn to the Lord and renew our lives. I was truly blessed to be part of Pastor Ed Citronelli crusade here in Dimapur where many youths like me found acceptance and blessings untold. May the Lord continue to bless the Nagas.

No breakthrough in Maha govt formation

New Delhi/Mumbai, Nov 18 (PTI): No early resolution of the 26-day-old impasse on government formation in Maharashtra appeared in sight on Monday, even as NCP chief Sharad Pawar said the issue did not figure in his meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi earlier in the day.

Asked if he would rule out the NCP supporting the BJP in forming the government, Pawar evaded a direct reply and pointed out that the BJP was his party’s major opponent in the Assembly polls. “The BJP and Sena contested the polls jointly. Ask them why are they not forming the government,” Pawar said.

There was no response to Pawar’s remarks from the Shiv Sena, which is banking on the support of NCP and Congress to keep the BJP away from power. Amid the impasse over government formation in Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extolled the virtues of the Pawarled Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Parliament, praising the party for strictly “adhering to parliamentary norms.”

Addressing the House on the occasion of the 250th session of Rajya Sabha, Modi said, “Today I want to appreciate two parties, NCP and BJD. These par-

(L-R) Amit Shah, Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, Sonia Gandhi.

ties have strictly adhered to parliamentary norms.”

In Mumbai, the BJP opted out of fray for the November 22 mayoral poll in India’s richest civic body, leaving the Sena retaining the mayor’s post a mere formality. Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Pawar said he briefed Gandhi about the political situation in Maharashtra and that there was no talk on government formation in the state.

“We have discussed in detail the political situation in Maharashtra,” he said.

“We will keep an eye on the situation in Maharashtra. Congress and NCP leaders will hold further talks on the future course of action,” he added. The NCP is in talks with ally Congress for a possible coalition with the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena after the latter’s alliance with the BJP fell apart over the chief minister’s post in Maharashtra.

Maharashtra was

placed under the President’s rule on November 12 after no party or alliance staked claim to form government in the state. Pawar’s meeting with the Congress chief comes a day after the NCP’s core committee meeting in Pune resolved that the President’s rule should end and an alternative government be formed in Maharashtra.

After Shiv Sena MPs were allotted seats on the Opposition side in Parliament, Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Monday hit back at the BJP, saying the NDA government at the Centre is not the property of one party but some are “considering themselves God”.

In the October 21 Maharashtra polls, the BJPSena saffron alliance had secured a comfortable majority by winning 105 and 56 seats respectively in the 288-member Assembly. The Congress and the NCP, prepoll allies, had won 44 and 54 seats respectively.

Heavy rush of pilgrims in Sabarimala Sabarimala (Ker), Nov 18 (PTI): Amid heavy rush of devotees to the Lord Ayyappa temple here, police on Monday sent back two women devotees from Andhra Pradesh at Pamba as they were in the ‘barred’ 10-50 age group. On Saturday, 10 women were turned back at Pamba, 5 km from the shrine, when the temple opened for the annual Mandala-Makaravilakku puja.

Police checked the two women’s identity cards and sent them back as they were found to be in the ‘barred’ age group, police sources said. Females in this age group have traditionally been barred from praying at the shrine. In a show of support for believers, a nine-year-old Keralite girl, who came to the temple complex from Karnataka, had a placard around her neck inscribed with the words “Ready to wait. Will visit the shrine after attaining 50 years.”

Hailing from Thrissur, Hridyakrishnan said she had visited the shrine thrice and would have darshan of Lord Ayyappa only after she reaches 50. Her father, Harikrishnan said devotees are those who protect traditions and beliefs.

On Saturday evening, at least 10 women, who were part of a 30-member group from Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, were sent back, as they were found to be in the ‘barred’ age group.

NITI mulls healthcare system for middle class New Delhi, Nov 18 (PTI): NITI Aayog is mulling building up a healthcare system for the middle class which is still not covered under any public healthcare system, the government think-tank said on Monday.

The healthcare system would exclude those covered under the newly-launched Ayushman Bharat scheme that mainly caters to the bottom 40 per cent population of the country.

India has low level and very fragmented risk pooling, with household outof-pocket funding at 64 per cent of total expenses dominating the overall system financing, NITI Aayog said at the launch ‘Health System for a New India: Building Blocks - Potential Pathways to Reform’ report.

The report was released by NITI Aayog ViceChairman Rajiv Kumar in the presence of Bill Gates, the co-chairman of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

NITI Aayog Adviser (Health) Alok Kumar said the report intends to prepare the road-map to build a health system in the medium- to long-term for those belonging to middle class as the poor have been

taken care of now through Ayushman Bharat while those in the top have the capacity to bear their medical exigencies. “So nearly 50 per cent are still not covered under any public healthcare system and the idea is to pool their risk assets which will cater to the health care needs of the middle class,” Kumar said.

Kumar opined that people falling under the middle class will not bother if they

have to pay nominal Rs 200 or Rs 300 towards building a good public healthcare system in the country and the plan looks feasible.

Bill Gates said India’s future is very bright because of its young population, and highlighted that human capital of any country is the sum total of its healthcare, educational and nutritional investment for its citizens.

“Our vision for a healthy India and qual-

ity health for all requires us to holistically transform the delivery of healthcare services in both the public and private sectors across all levels of care,” said Rajiv Kamar, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog.

Under the PM Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), the bottom 40 per cent of the population gets Rs 5 lakh cover for secondary and tertiary care against nearly 1,350 disease conditions.

Deptts barred from observing jubilees DIMAPUR, NOV 18 (NPN): State government has decided that various government departments should not observe any “Jubilee or Celebration” on completion of any occasion or an-

niversary etc.

In an office memorandum, the state home department has, therefore, asked all government departments/institutions to take note for compliance.

The government said that the office memorandum was being issued in supersession to all such approval issued/agreed in principle prior to issue of the present office memorandum.

Airshed management may help tackle pollution: Experts New Delhi, Nov 18 (IANS): Amid pollution turning into a serious national issue and the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) largely staying limited to Delhi, experts here on Monday advocated airshed management to tackle pollution.

These experts and pollution control boards officials were participating in a panel discussion, organised

by Climate Trends, a Delhibased climate communications initiative, to map the pathway for regional cooperation and coordination to tackle the crisis. Sagnik Dey, Associate Professor at IIT-Delhi and Coordinator

for the Centre for Excellence for Research for Clean Air (CERCA), said, “We live in the age of data, yet there is no air pollution data for the entire rural India.”

To address the problem of air pollution comprehensively, Dey said, “We need to delineate airsheds based on wind flows and their pollutant reach. The city action plans should be integrated with the larger airshed management strategy to to deal with the problem.”

Haryana, despite not being included in the NCAP, is the only state that has made an action plan for Gurugram that will include 300 km of the surrounding area

as shared airshed where pollution transfer happens.

The entire NCAP rested on the Central Pollution Control Board and the state pollution control boards but their resource and capacity must be evaluated and enhanced, Dey said. “Monitoring and compliance are key to success. Unless the central, state and municipal bodies work in tandem, we will return to these pollution spikes each year,” Dey said.

Analysis of November 1-15 data from urban sciences across 26 cities in the Indo-Gangetic Plain showed that nine cities were in severe air quality category, including satellite towns

like Ghaziabad and Noida, with Delhi ranked fifth behind Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida.

A 2012 study by IITDelhi mapped the aerosol transfer across the IndoGangetic region, making it

the world’s most polluted hotspot -- stretching from Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, UP, Bihar and all the way to West Bengal.

Haryana with five of the 10 most polluted cities in this study, has no city listed

amongst the 102+20 NCAP cities. The analysis further highlighted how Gurugram, spread across 732 sq km, has two monitoring stations against 35 in Delhi, which has double the area of its neighbour.

stagnant demand and high unemployment - if it fails to act. Other economists agree. “It’s not a question of debate, it has now become imperative,” said Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist at L&T Financial. “We need to keep aside all other considerations and work in the interest of growth.”

While the government has announced various sector-specific measures and a cut in corporate taxes, economists note it has not directly addressed the widespread weakness in consumption demand - the main economic driver in recent years. Economists and analysts say it is time to loosen the purse strings and let the fiscal deficit climb above the targetted 3.3% until the economy is back on its feet.

Subsequently, calls are growing for direct cash transfers to the rural economy and even cuts in income taxes to boost demand.

Large fiscal stimulus has in the past lead to a spike in inflationary pressures, but economists say consumer price inflation has stayed within the central bank’s mandated 2%-6% range.

Bharti Airtel, which posted the highest ever loss of Rs 23,045 crore last week, said that it understands that telecom regulator Trai is likely to initiate a consultation for bringing rationality in pricing in the Indian mobile sector, which has been operating at prices that have been eroding its viability.

The Sunil Bharti Mittal led firm made provision of amount aggregating Rs 28,450 crore after the AGR verdict.

Vodafone Idea has estimated liability of Rs 44,150 crore post the apex court order, and made provisioning of Rs 25,680 crore in the second quarter this fiscal.

N EW D ELHI , N OV 1 8 (IANS): Petrol rates continued on the fifth consecutive day on Monday, while the diesel prices remained constant for the sixth day in continuation.

The prices have been affected by the rise in the crude oil rates in the international market.

Though on Monday, the petrol rates in the international market remained unchanged, the Brent crude oil rates were the highest in the past two months.

Accordingly the petrol prices have been showing a surge with Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai seeing a hike of 16 paise/litre. As per the Indian oil website, the petrol rates in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai were Rs 74.05/litre, Rs 76.74/litre, Rs 79.71/litre and Rs 76.97/litre respectively.

NEW DELHI, NOV 18 (PTI): Faced with intense competition and unprecedented statutory dues, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea on Monday announced a hike in mobile phone call and data charges from December saying the increase was warranted for viability of their business.

First Vodafone Idea in a statement announced plans to raise tariffs for the first time in 3 years only to be followed by a similarly worded statement minutes later from Airtel.

The two, however, did not quantify the increase in rates but said that the hike will be effective beginning next month.

Vodafone Idea last week reported consolidated loss of Rs 50,921 crore - highest ever loss posted by any Indian corporate - for the second quarter ended September 30, on account of liability arising out of the

M U M BA I , N ov 1 8 (Agencies): India has depended on monetary policy to support its economy growing at its slowest pace in six years but the government must now deploy more direct fiscal stimulus or risk a long period of stagnation, analysts and experts say.

Growth in Asia’s thirdlargest economy has been hit by weak consumer demand and slower government spending amid pressures from the Sino-U.S. trade war, and more recent economic data suggests growth could fall further.

The central bank has already chopped 135 basis points off its key lending rate, but this has failed to spur demand.

In an opinion piece in The Hindu newspaper on Monday, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh - the architect of the liberalisation of India’s economy - wrote the government needs to “act quickly to restore consumption demand through fiscal policy measures since the impact of monetary policy seems muted.”

He warned the economy risks stagflation - high inflation combined with

The World Economic Outlook (WEO) of October 2019 projects a significant slowdown in world output and trade in 2019. Yet India, despite some recent deceleration of GDP growth, is still projected by WEO to grow at the fastest rate in 2019-20 among G-20 countries, she said.

On a question whether the government has analysed the impact of implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on economic slowdown, Sitharaman said the GST reform stands out as the most important measure for improving ease of doing business in the country.

“Further, in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business 2020 Report, India’s ranking improved by 14 positions to 63 in 2019 from 77 in 2018 after GST was implemented in 2017,” Sitharaman said.

“We expect that the momentum could continue on the upside for the next couple of sessions but any escalation on Brexit uncertainty could keep gains capped for the currency,” he said.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital markets, pulling out Rs 270.66 crore on Monday, exchange data showed.

Brent futures, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.35 per cent to USD 63.08 per barrel. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.09 per cent to 97.90.

The 10-year government bond yield was at 6.48 per cent on Monday. The Financial Benchmark India Private Ltd (FBIL) set the reference rate for the rupee/ dollar at 71.7109 and for rupee/euro at 79.04. The reference rate for rupee/British pound was fixed at 92.36 and for rupee/100 Japanese yen at 66.04.

BENGALURU, Nov 18 (PTI): India’s information technology services companies may shed 30,000 to 40,000 middle-level employees this year as growth slows down, IT industry veteran T V Mohandas Pai said Monday.

The former Chief Financial Officer of IT major Infosys Ltd termed these job losses as once-in-five-years normal phenomenon with maturing of the industry.

“As in all sectors in the West, in India too when a sector matures so many people will be there in the middle level who will not be adding value to the salary they get,” Pai told PTI. Promotions are okay when companies are growing fast but when it slows down, people getting fat salaries will aggregate at the higher level, prompting companies to periodically reset their pyramids, and shedding people, he said.

“It’s going to happen again and again and again every five years,” said Pai, Chairman of Aarin Capital and Manipal Global Education Services. “Nobody is entitled to a fat salary and high-paying job unless you perform, right? You have to deliver value”.

“All across industry, may be 30,000 to 40,000 in a year...,” he said when asked about the number of middlelevel staff who would lose their jobs.

On the impact of implementation of foreign trade agreements and economic slowdown, she said the government publishes an economic survey of the country on an annual basis analysing various aspects of the economy, including trade agreements and state of the economy. “The government has also been engaging with various stakeholders to understand their concerns and taking appropriate measures for the economy,” she said.

Sitharaman said while taking reform measures, the administration has kept inflation low, fiscal spending disciplined and current account deficit manageable to ensure macroeconomic stability for a healthy investment climate in the country.

I n d i a ’s e c o n o m i c growth slowed down to 5% in the Q1 and is expected to have declined further in the second quarter for which official data is expected later this month.

In her statement Sitharaman further said the 15% corporate tax rate for new domestic manufacturing companies announced in September was “amongst the lowest in the world”.

For other domestic companies not availing of any tax breaks, the rate was cut from 30% to 22%.

Mumbai, Nov 18 (PTI): The rupee pared early morning gains to settle down by 6 paise at 71.84 against the US currency on Monday due to continued forex outflows and gains in the dollar in global markets.

Police, protesters clash at HK varsity campus Hong Kong, Nov 18 (IANS): Hundreds of protesters besieged by police in Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University for more than 12 hours remained holed up in the campus on Monday, after an extremely volatile day hitherto unseen in the anti-government protest movement that has been roiling the Asian financial hub for over five months.

Fo l l ow i ng a t e ns e night in which many Hongkongers watched events unfold on live streams with apprehension, the fate of the anti-government activists stranded in PolyU in the harbour-side district of Hung Hom remains in limbo, reports Efe news.

Police officers who have been surrounding the campus since Sunday evening ban anyone from entering, and anyone walking out of the campus, except journalists with valid press passes, will be arrested. At noon on Monday, the police repeated their message of the previous night, calling on all “rioters” inside the

campus to surrender and come out “peacefully”. At around the same time, Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam went to a hospital to visit a police officer whose leg was hit by an arrow during a skirmish on Sunday. She is yet to make any comment on the siege.

According to Owan Li, a student representative on

PolyU’s university council, at least three stranded activists have sustained eye injuries and 40 suffer from hypothermia after being hit by police water cannons on Sunday night.

Activists have also complained of a lack of medical attention, saying police arrested most paramedics who walked out of PolyU.

Pakistan tests Shaheen-1 missile

Pakistan successfully conducts test launch of surface-to-surface ballistic missile.

Islamabad, Nov 18 (PTI): Pakistan on Monday conducted a successful test launch of a surface-to-surface ballistic missile capable of delivering all types of warheads up to 650 kilometres, the military announced.

According to a press release issued by the media wing of Pakistani military, the launch of Shaheen-I missile was held as part of a training exercise “aimed at testing the operational readiness of Army Strategic Forces Command”.

The Shaheen-1 missile is capable of delivering all types of warheads up to range of 650 KMs, the InterServices Public Relations (ISPR) tweeted.

“The launch was aimed at testing operational readiness of Army Strategic Forces Command (ASFC) ensuring Pakistan’s credible minimum deterrence,” it said. The Pakistani missile test came days after India conducted the first night trial of ‘Agni-II’, its versatile surface-to-surface medium

range nuclear-capable missile. The ‘Agni-II’ missile has a strike range of 2,000 km and is an intermediate range ballistic missile. It has already been inducted into the armed forces.

The Pakistani missile test took place amid bilateral tensions between India and Pakistan after New Delhi abrogated the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcated it into two union territories.

Some young protesters inside the campus have posted messages via social media calling for help and indicating that they would not surrender. The marathon standoff took a turn at 5.30 a.m. when officers from tactical police units raided the campus. The trapped protesters then set fire to one entrance and hurled petrol

bombs at advancing officers, who eventually made a number of arrests before retreating. At around 8 a.m., two groups of protesters left the campus and tried to flee amid the heavy police presence in the area. The police then fired rounds tear gas, forcing them to return to the campus.

Shortly after the early morning raid, Poly U’s president Professor Teng Jinguang spoke for the first time since the siege.

In a video statement, he called for protesters inside the campus to turn themselves in to the police.

“I have been communicating closely with the police since last evening. We have now received the assurance of police of a temporary suspension of the use of force, under the condition that if the protesters do not initiate the use of force, police will not initiate the use of force. I hope that you will accept the proposed temporary suspension of force, and leave the campus in a peaceful manner.”

Battle with Israel ‘not over’: Hamas chief Gaza, Nov 18 (IANS): Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas chief, said that the battle with Israel is “not over” although the new wave of violence in the Gaza Strip is over.

Haniyeh made the remarks on Sunday after he gave his condolences to the Abu Malhous family which lost eight of its members in the last round of violence between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Xinhua news agency reported.

“Our victory in the previous round is not counted by the number of the fired rockets, nor by the losses sustained, but by the fact that resistance has completely paralyzed the entity (Israel) during the escalation,” he told reporters.

Last week, a new wave of violence broke out between Israel and Gaza’s militant groups after Israel bombed the house of Baha Abu al-Atta, a senior Is-

lamic Jihad commander, killing him and his wife.

In response, the militant group fired barrages of rockets into Israel, before Israeli war aircraft retaliated by launching airstrikes on Gaza, killing 35 Palestinians including women and children.

On Thursday, Egypt brokered a cease-fire between the two sides, which remained fragile as several more rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel and Israeli war aircraft fired back.

Rajapaksa sworn in as SL’s 7th President Colombo, Nov 18 (PTI): Gotabaya Rajapaksa was on Monday sworn in as Sri Lanka’s seventh President at an ancient Buddhist temple, a venue chosen to reflect the massive mandate he got from the Sinhalese majority, as he vowed to protect all communities while giving foremost priority to Buddhism.

In a short speech, he thanked the powerful Buddhist clergy in the country for backing his presidential bid. He also thanked the Sinhala-majority people for electing him.

“I knew I would win the presidency with support coming only from the Sinhala majority. I told the minorities to join me. I did not receive their support.

But I will make sure that I will be president for everyone,” he said.

Rajapaksa said he would protect all communities while giving foremost

position to Buddhism.

His selection of the venue, the Ruwanwelisaya stupa and a hemispherical structure containing relics, is one of the eight most prominent Buddhist shrines and in line with the massive mandate he won form the island’s Buddhist majority.

The stupa which is considered sacred to Buddhists all over the world was built by King Dutugemunu in the 140 B.C., who reigned over the country after defeating Tamil King Elara.

‘Mardaani 2’ focuses crimes committed by juveniles 7th Naga Chef season begins in Kohima

D

irector Gopi Puthran says ideas for films like “Mardaani 2” tend to come from some real life inspirations because the horrific nature of crimes in papers do shock and stay with people.

“Ideas for films like ‘Mardaani 2’ tend to come from some real life inspirations because the horrific nature of crimes that you read about in papers, do shock you and stay with you. My film is inspired from various such incidents that happened across the country. ‘Mardaani 2’

focuses on such crimes committed by juveniles, how they are on the rise across the nation and we need to pay heed to this,” Puthran said.

He added: “The fact that underage boys are committing such violence makes the crimes deadlier and more menacing because how do you recognise them when they could be walking, talking or sitting next to you and your family. ‘Mardaani 2’ highlights this social issue.”

Actress Rani Mukerji is reprising the role of the

fearless Superintendent of Police, Shivani Shivaji Roy in “Mardaani 2”, where is pitted against a very young yet dangerous villain.

A source said: “Two years back, a violent crime rocked the nation. It happened on the Yamuna Expressway where four women were raped. The modus operandi of the criminal was simple. Use a vehicle to carry out these crimes.

If you see ‘Mardaani 2’ trailer, the villain clearly uses a car to pick up unsuspecting women and then carries out his plan. The incidents on the Yamuna

Expressway were brutal.

The accused snatched a car and then looted and raped women.

“When arrested, the young criminals were seen with no remorse resulting in cops to suspect that all similar incidents could have been conducted by them. This incident and the nature of the cold-blooded, non-repenting criminals was the inspiration behind ‘Mardaani 2’”.

Produced by Aditya Chopra, “Mardaani 2” is set to hit theatres on December 13.

Max Verstappen wins Brazil GP

Ronaldo admits he is not ‘100 percent’ Lis b o n , N o v 1 8 (Agencies): Cristiano Ronaldo admitted on Sunday that he is not at “100 percent” after reacting angrily to twice being substituted by Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri earlier this month.

The 34-year-old scored his 99th international goal on Sunday as reigning champions Portugal qualified for Euro 2020 with a hard fought 2-0 win in Luxembourg.

“I wasn’t 100 percent and I’m still not,” he said.

“In the last three weeks, I have played at a slightly reduced capacity. But when it comes to sacrificing myself for my club and my national team, I do it with pride.”

Sarri said Ronaldo had a “little knee problem” after replacing him during Juventus’ 1-0 win over AC Milan last weekend.

“I don’t like to be replaced, no one does,” added Ronaldo. “I tried to help Juve even when injured.”

Briton was penalized five seconds, thus depriving him of the podium finish.

Ferrari also suffered a setback during the race, with their two drivers Germany’s Sebastian Vettel and Monaco’s Charles Leclerc - being knocked out after just a few laps after they collided.

Spain’s Sainz moved up handily and impressively during the course of the contest, to finish fourth, although he had started the race in last position. Even the fourth place slot would have been his best finish so far this season with just one more race in Abu Dhabi to go, but - after Hamilton lost his third-place finish - this was the first time in his F1

career that the Spaniard has made it onto the 1-2-3 podium. The race got crazy in the final stretch with the appearance of the safety car on several occasions, first with the departure of Finland’s Valtteri Bottas due to cooling problems in his Mercedes and later with the accident between the two Ferrari vehicles. The final was an epic event with the incident between Albon and Hamilton, which Gasly was able to take advantage of, moving nicely into second place for the Toro Rosso team.

The two Alfa Romeo drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi, finished fifth and sixth, respectively, while Aus-

tralia’s Daniel Ricciardo, with Renault, was seventh, Britain’s Lando Norris with McLaren came in eighth, Mexico’s Sergio Perez, with Racing Point, finished ninth, and Russia’s Daniil Kvyat, with Toro Rosso, finished 10th.

By clinching yet another F1 drivers’ title earlier this month at the US Grand Prix, Hamilton moved to within one of the record held by German racing legend Michael Schumacher, who won seven drivers’ titles between 1994 and 2004.

Mercedes clinched its sixth consecutive constructors’ championship at last month’s Japanese Grand Prix.

Hazard laziest player I’ve played with, says Mikel L o n d o n, N ov 1 8 (Agencies): Eden Hazard has been brandished the “laziest player I have played with” by former Chelsea team-mate John Obi Mikel, while also insisting Hazard remained an “incredible talent”. Obi Mikel, now playing in Turkey, spent 11 seasons at Chelsea but was far from complimentary of the Real Madrid forward’s work ethic. “The laziest player I have played alongside is Eden Hazard,” Mikel told beIN Sports in Turkey.

“Hazard has an incredible talent, maybe not as good as [Lionel] Messi, but he can do whatever he wants with the ball at his feet.He didn’t like to train hard.

While we were working he was waiting for us to finish training just standing there.

But on Sundays he was always man of the match, it was unbelievable.”

Murray backs new-look Davis Cup

L o n d o n, N ov 1 8 (Agencies): Andy Murray has urged everyone in tennis to get behind the revamped Davis Cup. The new-look event, the brainchild of Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique, begins at Madrid’s Caja Magica on Monday, with 18 teams battling it out over a week for the most prestigious team trophy in the sport.

The decision to change the format from home-andaway ties to a World Cupstyle tournament has been hugely controversial, with criticism from many current and former players and fans.

Germany’s Alexander Zverev is boycotting the event and reiterated his opposition at the ATP Finals this week, saying the new format is ‘not Davis Cup’.

But the leading players whose countries are involved have largely decided to support it, including Mur-

Andy Murray

ray, who cited it as one of his main goals following his return from hip surgery.

The Scot has spoken several times to Pique, whose Kosmos company has ploughed huge sums into trying to make the event a success, and he said, “I respect that he’s trying to do something new and different in tennis. Tennis is not always the easiest to make changes in and this is a big change. We’ll see how it goes. I hope it goes really well because, if it does, that’s fantastic for tennis.”

“I think there’s some people that seem to be hoping it doesn’t go well but I hope it goes really well and that it’s a big success.

The players and all of the fans need to try to give it a chance to see how it goes and I think we’ll have a better idea after the tournament’s finished.”

Murray said, “It’s been fun, just being around all the guys again. There’s lots of things I didn’t think I’d get to do again and certainly I didn’t expect to be here.”

“Even a few months ago, I was losing in the second or third round of Challengers and was not playing particularly well, so I didn’t know if I was definitely going to be in the team. It’s nice, I feel more like I’ve earned my chance to potentially play again and hopefully I have a good week.”

Britain begin their campaign against the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Saina withdraws from Korea Masters

Gwangju, Nov 18 (PTI): Back in form after a string of below-par performances, Kidambi Srikanth would look for another good outing while Saina Nehwal pulled out of the Korea Masters World Tour Super 300 tournament, which starts with the qualifiers here on Tuesday.

After going through a tough phase since his final finish at India Open this year, Srikanth boosted his confidence with a semifinal appearance at the Hong Kong Open last week.

It was his first appearance at the last four stage since the India Open and the Indian ace would look to continue the good run when he opens against Hong Kong’s Wong Wing Ki Vincent in the men’s singles.

Overall, world number 13 Srikanth enjoys a 10-3 head-to-head record against Wong Wing Ki, who is on a comeback trail after suffering the personal tragedy of losing his father in August.

Wo r l d n u m b e r 9 Saina, who has made early

Saina Nehwal

exits in a series of tournaments recently, decided to skip the event but she is likely to feature at the Syed Modi International World Tour Super 300 in Lucknow next week.

With Saina’s withdrawal, there is no Indian participation in women’s singles.

Among other Indians in the fray, world number 16 Sameer Verma will take on top seed Chinese Shi Yu Qi in the opening round, while his elder brother Sourabh Verma will face a qualifier.

For Sameer, it will be his third meeting with Shi

Yu Qi this year and seventh overall. The Indian has lost five times with his only success against the Chinese coming at the Denmark Open last year.

Subhankar Dey, who had claimed the SaarLorLux Open last year, will need to fight it out against Olympic champion and second seed Chen Long of China.

The world number 44 Indian had lost to the Chinese at the Swiss Open this year in their only career meeting.

No Indian is taking part in any doubles competition.

Sao Paulo, Nov 18 (IANS): Dutch Formula One driver Max Verstappen, with the Red Bull team has won the Brazilian Grand Prix, the next-to-last contest in the world F1 season.

He came ahead of France’s Pierre Gasly, with Toro Rosso, and Spain’s Carlos Sainz, who made it into third place after Britain’s six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, with Mercedes, who had originally come in third, received a five-second penalty for a collision.

Sainz, driving for McLaren, had originally come in fourth after starting the race in last position in the 20-car contest on Sunday. Verstappen - who had secured the coveted pole position in the qualifying time trials on Saturday - was first across the finish line on the 4.309 km (2.67 mi.) Interlagos raceway in Sao Paulo after an intense battle with Hamilton, who fought hard for the win but could not prevail and was knocked back to cross the finish line in third place, reports Efe news.

However, Hamilton lost that position because he made contact with Thailand’s Alexander Albon, a situation that was reviewed with the result that the

Tsitsipas beats Thiem to win ATP Finals 10th Silver Cup: Wins for Silver

L on d on, N ov 1 8 (IANS): Stefanos Tsitsipas has become the first Greek and one of the youngest players to win the ATP Finals after defeating Austria’s Dominic Thiem 6-7(6), 6-2 and 7-6(4).

At 21 years and three months he is just behind Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt, who won the tourney in 2001 in Sydney at the age 20.

The Athens native, who won the New Generation ATP Finals last year in Milan and lost only one match during the tourney (to Spain’s Rafael Nadal during the group phase), recovered vigorously after losing the first set on a tiebreak, ultimately defeating Thiem in two hours and 35 minutes, reports Efe news.

Although he was having symptoms of cramps late in the match, Tsitsipas still managed to pocket the most important title of his career so far.

Although he took the first set, Thiem then lost the first four games of the second set, winning only one point during that time,

Germany.

Tsitsipas, who is now ranked No. 5 in the world, already has won four titles three of them garnered this year at Marseilles, France; Estoril, Portugal; and London - and he has won three of them on covered courts.

Vijender to fight Adamu in Dubai

Preparation for Horsepower Challenge begins

Dubai, Nov 18 (PTI): Indian boxing star Vijender Singh will square off against two-time former Commonwealth super middle-weight champion Charles Adamu of Ghana in his next professional bout here on November 22.

Vijender, managed by the legendary Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions and IOS Boxing, made his US debut earlier this year in July, recording an 11th successive win, beating Mike Snider.

WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental super middleweight champion, who is 34, will take on the 42year-old Adamu, hailing from Ghana, in a 10-round fight. Adamu is a veteran of 47 fights with a record of 33-14-0, including 26 knockouts. He competed most recently in February this year, winning via a Technical Knockout to end

a situation from which he never recovered.

In the final set on Sunday, although Tsitsipas went up by 3-1 at first, Thiem battled back and made it a contest, although he ultimately went down to defeat in a second tiebreak.

“After having rigorous training sessions for more than two months, I am fully prepared to end my year on a winning note.

For me this fight will be a build up to the world title which I am aiming in 2020,” said the Indian, who has eight Knockout wins to his credit.

“No doubt Adamu

is an experienced opponent, he will give me a few new tests, he has done more rounds than me, but will that compete with the power that I have and when I start landing my shots I don’t believe he will be standing around too long,” said Vijender.

Adamu said he is confident of ending Vijender’s winning run.

“I will bring my experience into play and look to play on the mind of Vijender Singh. Before all my fights I spend time analysing my opponent’s strengths and weaknesses,” he said.

“If he thinks I’ll be one of his earlier opponents whom he’ll brush by then he’s very mistaken.

I am a two-time former Commonwealth super middleweight champion and will put up a tactical master-class he’s never seen before,” he added.

The event organised

The winner in north east level competition would be recommended for the national level competition, said the organiser.

The organiser also informed that this year’s event would be plastic free.

England, France win in Euro qualifiers P R I S T I NA , N ov 1 8 (Agencies): England captain Harry Kane scored his 12th goal of the campaign as they secured a place among the top six seeds for next year’s European Championship with a somewhat flattering 4-0 win in Kosovo in their final qualifier on Sunday.

England were in second gear for much of the match as Harry Winks put them ahead in the 32nd minute, but late goals by Kane, Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount secured another big win and took the team’s goal tally to an impressive 37 from eight qualifiers.

England, already through tothe Euro 2020 tournment in which the semi-finals and final will be held at Wembley, finished top of Group A with 21 points, the only blip being last month’s 2-1 lossaway to the Czech Republic, who qualified as runners-up.

Kosovo finished third on 11 points. Their chances of automatic qualification disappeared after a 2-1 defeat by the Czechs on Thursday but they could advance via the playoffs.

England took a while to impose themselves on the game but broke through when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain slid a pass into the path of Winks who had all the time and space needed to slot the ball into the bottom corner for his first international goal.

second half.

Kane was on target again in the 79th minute with a sharp shot after Kosovo failed to clear a Raheem Sterling cross. His 12th goal made him the leading scorer across the competition and the first England player to score in every match of a qualifying campaign.

Sterling, back in the side after his one-match ban for attacking team mate Joe Gomez, was provider again three minutes later for Rashford, who scored with a neat first time shot.

Substitute Mount then claimed his first England goal in stoppage time, cashing in on another defensive error and a neat pass from Kane. Meanwhile, world champions France produced a fitting inaugural match in

Albania’s newly-built Arena Kombetare stadium after goals from Corentin Tolisso and Antoine Griezmann gave them a 2-0 win in a Euro 2020 Group H qualifier on Sunday.

Having already booked their berth in next year’s 24nation tournament, France finished top of the group on 25 points from 10 games, two ahead of second-placed Turkey who cruised to a 2-0 win at Andorra.

Tolisso fired the French into an eighth-minute lead when he headed home superbly inside the near post after Griezmann swung in an inviting free kick from the left.

Griezmann netted the second in the 31st minute when he turned in a sharp low cross by Leo Dubois, as

the gulf in class between the two sides was everywhere to be seen in front of a capacity 22,000 crowd.

France continued to press after the break and Olivier Giroud missed three chances to extend their lead, having twice been denied by goalkeeper Etrit Berisha before hitting the post with a fierce shot from inside the penalty area.

Turkey, who also sealed qualification with a match to spare, breezed past Andorra thanks to a first-half brace from striker Enes Unal.

In the group’s other fixture, Iceland eked out a 2-1 win in Moldova and although the Nordic nation failed to progress from the group, they will have another chance through the playoffs in March.

He had played Thiem twice before in Grand Slam finals - both at Roland Garros, in 2018 and 2019.

Despite the loss, Thiem will rise one slot in the world rankings, now sitting at No. 4.

This is the fourth consecutive year in which a new champion has surged forward to take the tournament after the victories of Britain’s Andy Murray in 2016, Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in 2017 and Germany’s Alexander Zverev last year.

Tsitsipas booked a spot in the championship match for the first time with a 6-3, 6-4 victory in London on Saturday over six-time champion Roger Federer.

The Greek phenom had defeated the 38-yearold world No. 3 in four close sets early this year at the Australian Open and he looked at London’s O2 Arena like a player who knows he belongs on court with the veteran Swiss great.
