PIL in SC seeks minority status for Hindus in NE, 7 other states NEW DELHI, OCT 31 (AGENCIES): A Public interest litigation (PIL) filed in the Supreme Court has demanded that Hindus be notified as a minority community in eight states, including Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and North East, and be given the legitimate benefits meant for them, The Tribune report stated.

The PIL filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay has sought minority status for Hindus in North Eastern states of Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur.

Upadhyay also alleged that the Prime Minister’s 15-Point Programme meant for religious and linguistic minorities was not being appropriately used in many states, particularly in Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Citing the 2011 Census, the pe-

NMDA on dengue test

DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Expressing concern over the higher rate being charged by private pathological laboratories for dengue test, the Nagaland Medical Dealers Association (NMDA) has asked the private laboratories to cut down the rates to make it affordable by all citizens.

In a statement, NDMA general secretary Birendra Sharma said that it has come to the knowledge of the association that some private laboratories were charging Rs. 800 per blood test for dengue fever. It therefore, urged the drug controlling authorities to take up the matter and control the rate.

Also, expressing concern on the prevalence of dengue viral in the state, especially in Dimapur district, the NMDA has urged the department of Health and Family Welfare to provide dengue test kits in Civil Hospital and other dispensaries.

“I wonder why should Aadhaar cards determine who we are?“ K Y M C

titioner said Hindus were in minority in eight states -- Punjab (38.4%), Jammu and Kashmir (28.44%), Manipur (31.39%), Arunachal Pradesh (29%), Meghalaya (11.53%), Nagaland (8.75%), Mizoram (2.75%) and Lakshadweep (2.5%).

“Christians are majority in Mizoram, Meghalaya and Nagaland and there is significant population in Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Kerala, Manipur, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, but they are treated as minority.

Likewise, Sikhs are majority in Punjab and there is significant population in Delhi, Chandigarh and Haryana but they are also treated as minority,” the petition read.

“But, their minority rights are being siphoned off illegally and arbitrarily to the majority population because neither Central nor the State Governments have notified Hindus as a ‘minority’ under Section 2 (c) of the NCM Act. Therefore, Hindus are being deprived of their basic rights, guaranteed under the Articles 25 to 30,” Up-

adhyay – also a Delhi BJP leader -- submitted.

He contended that Hindus were being treated as majority in these states despite being minority in population and were illegally being deprived of benefits meant for minority communities.

“The Union Government offered 20,000 scholarships in field of technical education for minority students. In J&K, Muslims constitute 68.3% of the total population and government allotted 717 out of 753 scholarships to Muslim students, but none to Hindu students citing Notification on Minority Communities dated October 23, 1993 which declares Muslims as minority, but not the Hindus,” the petitioner pointed out.

Supreme Court is already seized of another PIL with regard to Jammu and Kashmir wherein petitioner Ankur Sharma– a Jammubased advocate– alleged that the benefits meant for minorities were going to the majority community i.e. Muslims in the state.

Sharma had alleged that crores of rupees were being squandered away as the state was spending money on unidentified minorities. A highlevel committee comprising officials of the Centre and the Mehbooba Mufti government had been constituted to look into the issue of setting up of a minority commission for the state, the top court was told on May 1.

Contending that the 1993 notification violated the basic structure of the Constitution, Upadhyay wondered how communities in majority in a given state were enjoying benefits meant for minority communities.

National Commission for Minority Act 1992 – which came into force on May 17, 1993 -- extends to the whole of India except Jammu & Kashmir and the Centre had on October 23, 1993 notified Muslims, Christians and Sikhs as minorities. Later, Jains were also added in the list in 2014.

But not the Hindus, though they were minority in eight states, Upadhyay said.

WhatsApp officially rolls out deleting messages for everyone

People waiting for early solution: Gov

SAN FRANCISCO, OCT 31 (IANS): WhatsApp on Tuesday announced it has officially rolled out its most anticipated feature ‘Delete for Everyone’ that allows its over one billion users revoke their messages in case they sent those to a wrong person or a group. “Starting today you can now delete messages you sent by mistake a” whether to one person or an entire group,” WhatsApp said in a statement.

Here’s how it works

Tap and hold on the message, choose “Delete,” and then “Delete for everyone.” You have seven minutes to delete the message after it’s sent.

This feature is rolling out for users around the world on the latest versions of iPhone, Android, Windows Phone as well as desktop. “Both you and the

message recipient must be using the latest version of WhatsApp for the message to be successfully deleted,” WhatsApp said.

“Deleting messages for everyone allows you to delete specific messages you have sent to either a group or an individual chat. This is particularly useful if you sent a message to the wrong chat or if the message you sent contains a mistake,” WhatsApp said in its FAQ. Messages you successfully delete for everyone will be replaced with “This message was deleted” in your recipients’ chats.

Similarly, if you see “This message was deleted” in a chat, it means that the sender deleted their message for everyone.

Sazo slams speaker’s ‘inaction’ Former speaker Dr. Chotisuh Sazo, MLA, Tuesday said that the NLA speaker has failed to understand what was happening, saying as per the rules the speaker has to take prompt action after 10 days of receiving the petitions.

Speaking at the sit-in protest site at civil secretariat here, Sazo expressed anguish over the “inaction” of the speaker and dared him to disqualify them (nine MLAs with Dr. Shürhozelie) if they had gone against the rules and if there were such rules.

Sazo said the problem started when the NLA speaker recognized two whips without following the rules.

Further, the former speaker said the members sought justice from the judiciary, but was delayed time and again, adding “justice delayed is jus(Cont’d on p-7) tice denied”.

NSF asks Govt to pass resolution against Aadhaar DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Contending that imposition of Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016 was a big threat to Naga customary law and identity, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) on Tuesday urged the state government to pass a resolution under Article 371A of the Constitution in the State Legislative Assembly for barring the applicability of Aadhaar Act, 2016 to the state of Nagaland.

In a memorandum addressed to chief minister, NSF president, Kesosul Christopher Ltu, and general secretary, Imtiyapang Imsong, reminded that Art. 371A exempts Nagaland from the applicability of the Acts of Parliament in respect of religious or social practices of the Nagas, Naga customary law and procedure, administration of civil and criminal justice

involving decisions according to Naga customary law, and ownership and transfer of land and its resources.

NSF also reminded that the State Legislative Assembly has a special prerogative to decide whether an Act of Parliament should be made applicable to the State. According to the federation, it was the bounden duty of the State Assembly to defend, protect, uphold and advance the sanctity of special status conferred by the Constitution of India. Besides, it said the right to self-determination was the inalienable right of the Nagas.

Imposition of Aadhaar card/UID number, the NSF said was nothing but a direct challenge of privacy threatening even the idea of Nagas right to self-determination.

“Imposing of such drastic nationalising policy upon the Nagas pending the final Indo-Naga solution is thus inimical to the process of

Indo-Naga Peace Dialogue,” NSF asserted.

Further, the federation said it has noted that enforcement of Aadhaar was aggressively being pursued only in some selected states of Northeast India unlike in the other mainland Indian states for the reasons best known to the Government of India. In the interest of “defending the sanctity of Naga customary law, identity, culture, privacy and right to self-determination”, the NSF has therefore urged the state government to put in place the following resolution as a matter of priority: 1. Declare the Aadhaar Act, 2016 as inimical to Naga customary law, social identity and practice; and 2. Bar the applicability of the Aadhaar Act, 2016 to the state of Nagaland pending the final Indo-Naga solution by resorting to the exemption clause under Article 371A of the Constitution.

Power deptt releases top 100 defaulting SPM villages DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Department of Power on Tuesday released the list of top 100 defaulting SPM villages in Nagaland.

A DIPR report stated the department was compelled to release the details since the villages had failed to clear the dues despite several reminders and notices.

It said that the top 100 VEMB arrear amounted to Rs. 3.49 crore.

According to the department the top five villages were-- Chozuba village under Phek division- Rs. 33,33,000 upto to August 2017; Tuensang village under Tuensang division- Rs. 20,58,552 upto September 2017; Phek village under Phek division- Rs. 9,88,005 upto August 2017’ Ahtibung under Peren division- Rs. 9,40,292 upto September 2017 and Chizami New Town under Phek division- Rs. 9,25,811.

KPU 48-hr total bandh along NH-2 begins Reconciliation chapter is closed: NPF (Rio) DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): The 48-hour total bandh imposed along NH-2 by the Kandi Public Union (KPU) against the state government’s “unresponsive attitude” towards construction of BDO office at Chunlikha RD block, under Teseminyu sub-division began on Tuesday from 6 a.m. The bandh would end midnight of November 1, 2017.

KPU through its publicity cell stated that the district administration deployed adequate police personnel and officials at the two ends -- K Station and Tsonsa. It said the union also deployed hundreds of volunteers restricting movement of vehicles except paramilitary, police, magistrate on duty, ambulance, wedding party and emergency services with proper proof and press fraternity.

KPU president, John Kath, said that today’s bandh passed off peace-

fully with no untoward incident reported. He, however, maintained that the vehicular movement and other businesses along the route were affected. NH-2 connects various districts of the Nagaland with the state capital via Wokha district.

Kath said the union was compelled to impose the bandh as the state government failed to respond to various representations submitted earlier demanding commencement of the construction works for BDO

office. Reiterating that the foundation stone for the construction of BDO office was laid in 2012, Kath said the work order was issued only after a gap of five years to M/s JK & Sons Constructions on November 11, 2016.

However, he expressed regret that the contractor failed to commence the construction work of RD Block Chunlikha BDO office building.

In this connection, KPU president said several

representations were submitted to the government including the ultimatum served on state government October 6 last to commence the work within 15 days.

Despite serving ultimatum, Kath said there was no positive response either from the government or the contractor compelling the union to enforce the total bandh.

Meanwhile, KPU advisor, Johnny G Rengma, said the state government has already made around 35% of the amount for the work but there was no sign of any construction being undertaken. He said the foundation stone for the BDO office laid in 2012 has also been destroyed by some miscreants.

Rengma, therefore, cautioned that KPU would be compelled to resort to severe course of action if the government failed to take up positive measures immediately.

DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): NPF (Rio) on Tuesday informed that the reconciliation offer extended to Dr. Shürhozelie’s group has been closed since the latter had out rightly rejected the offer. “It is quite unfortunate that, our rival group has made a mockery of our humble reconciliation initiatives and regrettably we hereby inform our party men and women, supporters, sympathizers that the reconciliation chapter is closed,” NPF press and information cell (P&IC) stated.

P&IC said that the party had tried all channels to extend their friendship to the friends and family members who were on the wrong side, not because of any fear but because we are strong.

P&IC maintained that the reconciliation offers were based on the principles of ECI directives, order dated March 27, 2015 and

October 17, 2017. It was also based on the resolutions adopted during the consultative meeting of NPF central office/NPF legislature party on October 24, wherein the party had extended an olive branch for reconciliation to the rival group. “Our reconciliation hands were extended on goodwill and in the larger interest of the people who voted for us back to back to power with thumping majority for 3 consecutive terms,” it said.

However, P&IC said that their splinter group presumed that they (NPF Rio) were the Trojan horse and not only out rightly rejected the offer “but scorned and miffed the majority and ruling NPF party initiatives to reconcile with high sounding phrases.”

As a political party, P&IC said NPF had always taken serious note of any internal strife, since their job was purely to work for

the welfare of the people.

“It is not our job to make a mountain out of a molehill nor washing our dirty linen in public,” it added.

Since the party has no control over what the Election Commission of India would say over the present NPF imbroglio, P&IC said the final verdict will soon be made clear.

It said ECI was not only a monumental institution, but also a living institution that actively defends democratic values and the constitution.

By totally rejecting its initiative to amend, P&IC said that the NPF central office was saddened that a great opportunity had been lost. “We request upon the other group not to make a mockery of themselves in public even if they cannot understand what a constitutional process is, but wait for ECI to give its judgment,” said the P&IC.

note address, NRLM Nagaland additional mission director, Azenuo Pienyü, stated that gender as a cross-cutting factor in uplifting women especially in rural areas was the key to the mission’s endeavours and therefore should be taken up with concerted efforts right from policy makers to grassroots workers.

She also highlighted on the need to implement

gender mainstreaming in all areas so as to ensure inclusive and target-oriented interventions to mitigate challenges pertaining to women.

NSRLM, COO (programs), M. Rollan Lotha, presented the status of NRLM programme implementation with focus on gender integration as cross cutting activity under various thematic of the state mission.

Delivering a speech on operational strategy on gender under NRLM, Usha Rani, also stressed on the need to bring in women in decision-making processes and policy changes and added that the first step towards this direction was to include the most vulnerable sections so as to give a sense of identity, solidarity and assurance of access to entitlements.

She also added that gender policies ought to coexist with plans and programs of the government at various levels and in the context of NRLM, gender mainstreaming has to begin with the staff at mission management units.

During the course of the interactive workshop, resource persons also apprised the trainees on the importance of integrating gender in all programmatic components and engaging key stakeholders in the implementation process.

A series of sensitisation of key stakeholders and training of cutting edge staff and community cadres would be conducted dur-

ing the following months for rolling out of gender mainstreaming.

3 SASU on EAC up-gradation issue DIMAPUR: Singti Area Students Union (SASU) on Tuesday reminded the state government over its previous representation to the Commissioner Nagaland, urging the latter to keep in abeyance the up-gradation of EAC Sitimi Hq to SDO (C).

In a letter to the Commissioner Nagaland submitted through DC Kiphire, SASU executive chairman, Tsipise Antony and president, Atingse Sangtam said the union had clearly pointed out earlier of the “complex unresolved social issues”, which was an impediment towards any developmental activities.

SASU said it had also asked the government to take note of the issues before proceeding to up-grade EAC Sitimi to SDO (C).

In this regard, SASU said that the Sangtam villages under the administra-

tive umbrella of EAC Sitimi appealed to the government “to fully adhere to the laid down government norms, procedures and precedent while dealing with delicate social issues.”

“Any move to pollute the social fabric that has been maintained for generation, will be a blot to sacred social justice,” SASU added. Therefore, SASU urged the government “to be extremely cautious and not to be swayed away by people with ‘conflict of interest’ in the interest of peace and order.”

The proposal for upgradation of EAC Sitimi to SDO (C) should therefore be kept in abeyance, it said.

SASU further warned that if the up-gradation of EAC Sitimi is taken up, the government would be held responsible for any unforeseen social complications or disorder arising out of it.

H&WF department aims to eliminate TB before 2025 Correspondent KOHIMA, OCT 31 (NPN): Ministry of health and family welfare’s National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2017-2025 for Tuberculosis elimination in India, has set a goal of “achieving a rapid decline in burden of TB, morbidity and mortality while working towards elimination of TB by 2025,” in this regard, Nagaland Health and Family Welfare (H&WF) department said the state could achieve the target before 2025.

Speaking at the launching programme of “daily regime for Tuberculosis (TB) patients” at the directorate of H&WF on Tuesday, principal secretary

H&WF, Menokhol John, said though the target to eradicate TB was set by 2025, with commitment and cooperating from all sectors, Nagaland could achieve the target before 2025.

In this regard, the principal secretary called upon staff and officers of H&WF to recommit themselves so that Nagaland could achieve the target 10 years ahead of the set target.

John also said that the launching of daily regime TB was significant for the Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP). He said they should take up the challenge to eliminate TB in the state.

Speaking on “shift from

intermittent to daily regimen”, state TB officer RNTCP, Dr. K.T Lotha, said the National TB Control Programme (NTCP) was initiated in 1962 and was originally designed from domiciliary treatment using self administered standard daily drug regimen.

He said in 1997, RNTCP was launched as a national programme and expanded throughout India in phase wise manner.

In Nagaland, he said RNTCP was launched on December 1, 2002 with the WHO recommending DOTS, twice a week regime.

Lotha said with the launch of the daily regime from trice a week regime to daily regime for

TB patients, TB patients would not get fixed combination of four drugs/three drugs in a specific dosage in a single pill.

He added that drugs would be administered in a more scientific manner according to patient weight and that it would be made available to both public and private TB patients, free of cost, across the state.

Lotha then appealed the officers to remain unite and eliminate TB in Nagaland by 2025.

The launching programme was chaired by additional director H&FW, Dr. Vikeye Losou and attended by officers and staffs of RNTCP. DP-11326

Manipur Cong to stage protest against demonetization, GST

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 31: Opposition Congress in Manipur Tuesday announced a public rally in Imphal on November 8 next as part of nationwide protests against ‘twin torpedoes’ of demonetization and GST. Addressing a news conference, Manipur Pradesh Congress president TN Haokip said that the party has decided to join the countrywide protests against last year’s demonetization move and the Goods and Services Tax on November 8, the day the note ban was announced last year.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) had already announced the protest under the banner “Bhugat Raha Hai Desh” (the country is suffering).

Expressing surprise that the government was “celebrating” the first anniversary of note ban on November 8, Haokip said,

“We are confused what is there to celebrate.”

The Centre will observe November 8 or demonetization anniversary as “antiblack money day.”

Haokip reminded that 105 people lost their life while standing in queue at the banks and post offices to exchange their old notes after the sudden demonetization of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes by the Modi government on November 8 night.

“Among them was a 70-year-old Akoijam Modhu of Manipur who fainted while waiting for his turn to exchange the old notes. He died on the spot,” he said.

While the people were yet to be relieved from the woes of demonetization, the BJP-led NDA government added another suffering to the people by implementing Goods and Service Tax (GST), he alleged.

“Demonetization combined with GST caused

the collapse of country’s economy,” he said while reminding former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s war ning to the Central government on the consequences of the new tax regime. Haokip claimed that the new tax regime had badly affected the working class people of the country as most of the companies have closed down due to financial crunch.

Farmers and common people were most affected by the move of the Central government, he alleged.

In short, people of the country are suffering because of misrule of the BJP-led NDA government, he went on to allege. Asserting that the scheduled protest is not a party matter, Haokip appealed all like-minded political parties and even leaders and workers of ruling parties who are against the demonetization and GST regime to come out and take part in the public protest.

Sikkim’s first airport ready for operation New Delhi, Oct 31 (Agencies): After years of delay, Pakyong Airport – the first public airbase in Sikkim – is ready for operation.

According to state government sources, the inauguration has been fixed for November 30 and “a request to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has been sent to seek availability of Narendra Modi for the function”.

“As soon as the Airports Authority of India gave us the go ahead for the date, we wrote to the PMO seeking time from the prime minister. We have not got any confirmation in this regard yet,” sources said.

Chief minister, Pawan Kumar Chamling, is set to visit New Delhi on November 7 to take part in the 19th Organic World Congress to be held between November 9 and 11. “The CM will be the key speaker in the event where PM Modi will also be present. The CM will extend the invitation personally to the PM too,” according to sources in the government.

Sonowal calls for rejuvenating ATDA

Guwahati, Oct 31 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Tuesday directed Welfare of Plain Tribes and Backward Caste Department to rejuvenate the Assam Tribal Development Authority (ATDA), an official release said.

The chief minister said this can be done by identifying tribal communities and their population which fall outside the jurisdiction of the BTAD and Autonomous Councils of the state.

The chief minister’s direction will benefit many small tribal communities living outside the administrative jurisdiction of the BTAD and the councils, the release said. As per an earlier amendment of the Assam Tribal Development Authority Act, 1983, the ATDA was mandated to work for the tribal people living outside the BTAD and Autonomous Councils of the state. As ATDA remained dormant for past several years, it severely hit many small tribal communities. “The tribal people are the sons of the soil. They are the precious jewels in the socio-cultural mosaic of the state. The government of Assam is committed to ensure social Assam Chief Minister security and development of each of the tribal comSarbananda Sonowal had munity,” the release quoted laid the foundation stone Sonowal as saying. of the Rs 1300 crore food park in presence of Patanjali Ayurved founder Ramdev on November 6 last year.

The food park is situated near the Assam Industrial Development Corporation complex, about 15 km from Tezpur town.

Spread over 990 acres in Pakyong village – about 35 km from the state capital of Gangtok – the airport has reportedly been built at a cost of Rs 300 crore. It is the first greenfield airstrip to be constructed in the Northeast and will be among the five highest airports in the country at 4,700 feet.

Approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in 2008, the airport was initially planned to be completed by 2012. The project, however, failed to meet quite a few deadlines due to opposition from locals on the issue of compensation for their land, which then led to litigation. The Sikkim high court ruled in favour of the affected families.

Besides boosting tourism in Sikkim, an operational airport would be a huge relief to the people of the Himalayan state in terms of fast connectivity, as their nearest airport until now was 124 km away at Bagdogra in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal.

Protest over Patanjali food park workers’ release Tezpur, Oct 31 (PTI): Workers engaged in the under construction Patanjali food park in Sonitpur district Tuesday held a protest meeting alleging that local employees were being replaced by outsiders.

The workers protested in front of the main gate of Patanjali Mega Herbal Food Park at Ghoramari

and alleged that they were released from their respective jobs from today and were replaced by people from outside the state.

The demonstrators claimed that over 85 employees have been released without citing any reason and 60 workers from outside Assam have taken their place. The agitators later

submitted a memorandum to Sonitpur district administration demanding justice.

Sonitpur Deputy Commissioner Manoj Kumar Deka, however, said the new appointees were not from outside Assam.

Those 85 persons were engaged by a security agency and as their service was not satisfactory, Patanjali

engaged its own security personnel hailed from Assam and not from outside the state, Deka told PTI. Some of the new workers are even from Tezpur, he said.

The authorities of the Patanjali Mega Herbal Food Park at Ghoramari could not be contacted despite several attempts.

A suicide note was also recovered from the room, police said. “He stated that nobody is to be blamed for his death. He addressed his parents saying he could not become the good boy they wished him to be,” an official said.

His room mates told the police he was looking depressed since the last few days. Though they asked him if he was facing any problem, he did not disclose anything to them, they said.

PRESS STATEMENT

Dated 23rd Oct. 2017

We are constrained to re-affirm our Press Note in Nagaland Post dated the 7 Sept.

2017 and to counteract/clarify the rejoinder of the Sirhima (Kuki) village GB and 2 others dated the 14 Sept 2017 and also to make our stand clear to the public and all concerned for proper understanding towards peaceful co-existence. Our stand as published earlier is forever unwavering and true, accepted by one and all. Any distortion/disruption or challenge to the founding history of Mengupheju (Sirhima village) by Hieme and Netseyi of Mezoma village is viewed with utmost seriousness and will be objected tooth and nail.

Regarding the 14th Sept 2017 rejoinder by Sirhima village GB and two others, the present Sirhima village established during 1905 by Kukis within our forefather's founded land (the erstwhile Mengupheju) centuries ago during unrecorded pre-British period.

The CPO’s judgement under case No. 4/95 dated the 5th July 1995 referred by Sirhima village GB and party, in the first place, was a land ownership suit over Sirhima village between Hieme and Netseyi of Mezoma and those of Khonoma in the court of CPO and it has nothing to do with the Sirhima Kukis. Subsequent order to this effect was issued which states that Quote “Kukis are nomadic tribe and every Kuki village in Angami area established…with the permission of Angamis and therefore the Kukis cannot be recognised as a land owner under any circumstances”.

It is detrimental to peaceful co-existence for these so called Kukis who came from the South-East, to be contradicting/challenging the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) and also the Chakhro Public Organization (CPO), by way of twisting Angami customary law and using most unqualified terms such as ‘no right over the ownership of the land of Sirhima by virtue of customs and practices’ .... ’false and misleading claim’.....’Unwarranted statement’.... ’misleading and confusion’ .... ’abandoned land’, etc. meted out to their generous original land owners. Be it known to Sirhima Village GB and party, that we are very much living in our founded land Mengupheju (Sirhima area), and the Village land is never abandoned (as claimed by them), never purchased by any because we have never sold our founded land to any, nor have we ever been subjugated by anyone to claim our land.

The Sirhima Kukis should peacefully co-exist with the Angamis and CPO willingly abide by the traditional goodwill, understanding and factual history. Their habitual use of inflammatory/contradictory/unqualified terms will only suggest to their ostensible scheming of episodes like the early 1990’s Angami-Kuki issue.

We hope some of the intellectual persons from the village will understand our principle of goodwill and peaceful co-existence so as to avoid further unwanted fury of the APO/ AYO, the CPO, and our people by refraining from further counter rejoinder.

Last but the most, this press statement would be the final words by the undersigned pertaining to Sirhima village land ownership and no further counter rejoinder will be entertained but will be taken as a serious challenge to our historical stand and the person involved will be solely responsible for any untoward incident.

Sonia attacks Modi govt, says intolerance rising

The speech was read out in her absence by her son and Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi. The award was conferred on Krishna by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi.

Sonia Gandhi said the idea of India that Indira Gandhi fought for has been thrown fundamentally into question “by the rising intolerance that we are witnessing today�. “A view of Indianness that is one-sided, discriminatory, even warped, is being thrust upon us. The country’s heritage is now in the hands of those who are bent upon rewriting history, imposing falsehood and unscientific ideas on our people and stifling independent thinking.� “The liberal, tolerant Indian ethos that Indira Gandhi embodied in her life and beliefs is openly rejected and repudiated. The precious idea of national integration has never been more necessary than today,� she said.

Sonia Gandhi said this year also marks the centennial anniversary of Indira

Safeer Karim IPS cadre controlling authority reserves the right to dismiss him on this ground, if he does not come up with a satisfactory explanation for his alleged misconduct,� said a senior Central government official.

The Modi government has adopted a stern approach not only towards IPS officers embroiled in cases relating to criminal acts, misconduct and corruption, but also IPS probationers who fail to clear all the papers, including the mandatory fitness test, during their basic training course. It had in 2016 discharged two IPS officers Kusum Punia, a 2010 batch officer of Jharkhand cadre, and Kumar Gautam from West Bengal cadre, from service on this very ground.

However, the two were later reinstated following an intervention by home minister Rajnath Singh.

Urging union defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman to refrain from diverting critical defence resources of the country to civilian works, Amarinder said it would set a bad precedent.

General BM Kaul, GOC of `Red Eagles’ 4th Division, had made before the 1962 war with China. The scandalous misuse, by him, of military manpower to build accommodation cost the Indian Army heavy during the Sino-Indian war, the Chief Minister pointed out.

These kind of acts led to severe downgradation of the defence services then, Amarinder warned that the Army would end up suffering similar lowering of its status if the defence ministry does not withdraw its decision to use the armed forces for building civilian bridges in Mumbai.

As it is, he pointed out, the Army is regularly used to help out in emergency situations such as floods and earthquakes, and is even engaged in infrastructural development in sensitive areas, such as the northeast. If it is now burdened with the additional task of helping out in other civilian tasks, merely because the civilian authorities are unable to handle it, it would lead to further impacting its resources, he said. “It would also lower the morale of the Army personnel, who join the force with a vision to secure the country’s borders and protect its people from the enemy,� he added.

CHANDIGARH, OCT 31 (AGENCIES): Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh has criticized the central government’s “unprecedented� decision to rope in the Indian Army for rebuilding the Elphinstone bridge in Mumbai as deplorable and an admission of the failure of the government and the Indian Railways.

He was reacting to reports that the Army will be roped in while building a new bridge at Elphinstone station and at two other suburban train stations in Mumbai. Terming the move atrocious, Amarinder suggested that the Centre and state governments should put their own resources at the disposal of the Railways if the situation was so urgent and serious. In a statement on Tuesday, Amarinder said the Army’s job is to train for war and protect the country’s borders, not to build bridges and clean the roads, warning against the serious implications of such misuse of the Indian Armed Forces by utilizing their services for non-emergency civilian jobs. “Whatever the urgency of the situation, it does not merit such a decision, which would have adverse long-term implications as it could encourage the civilian

NEW DELHI, OCT 31 (AGENCIES): Union home ministry on Tuesday sought a detailed report from the chief secretary of Tamil Nadu after IPS officer Safeer Karim was caught cheating during the Civil Services (Main) Exam.

Sources indicated that the 2014 batch probationer, who was held for cheating during UPSC Mains examination as his wife acted as an accomplice, could face dismissal if he fails to explain his “conduct�.

Karim, who allegedly used a Bluetooth-enabled spy camera to share the question paper with his wife in Hyderabad who then dictated the answers to him, had scored 112th rank in the 2014 Civil Services Exam. However, he reportedly performed poorly during his training at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, Hyderabad. “He is remembered by the faculty as one of the bottom-ranking probationers in the batch,� said the officer.

Once his parent cadre receives a detailed report on the cheating case, the home ministry may issue Karim a show-cause notice asking why action should not be initiated against him as per the service rules. “He has been arrested and in the process brought disrepute to the civil services. He is still a probationer and the

New Delhi, Oct 31 (IANS): Cong President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday attacked the Narendra Modi government over â&#x20AC;&#x153;rising intoleranceâ&#x20AC;?, saying that a discriminatory view of Indianness was being thrust upon the people and that the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage was in the hands of â&#x20AC;&#x153;those rewriting history, imposing falsehood and unscientific ideasâ&#x20AC;?.

In a speech at a function in which the 30th Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration was conferred on Carnatic musician T.M. Krishna, Sonia Gandhi said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must be undaunted, unafraid, and uncompromising against the forces of darkness that seek to engulf our land.â&#x20AC;?

She said the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration is a recognition of the values she stood for at a time â&#x20AC;&#x153;when our country finds itself increasingly divided in the name of a narrow nationalismâ&#x20AC;?.

The Congress President said the liberal Indian ethos that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi embodied in her life was being openly rejected.

Indira Gandhi, she said, led India through major transformations and in her 16-year long battle against poverty and social injustice, she gave her all to make the country self-reliant in agriculture, industry and technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She fought for the unity and integrity of the nation, stood for an India where distinctions of caste and creed, religion and region, would be eradicated.â&#x20AC;?

Sonia Gandhi said that after Operation Bluestar, when she was advised to transfer some bodyguards out of her service, she refused, saying that she would not judge anyone on the basis of religion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She paid for her principles with her life, but never compromised with her faith in India and her people.â&#x20AC;?

The Congress President said the award is given to those whose work seeks to protect and project the very soul of this land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unity and peace, not division and conflict, are the lights that guided our awardees, in thought as well as action just as they guided her.â&#x20AC;?

Diverse unity

ndia today is no longer what most would think or hope it would or should be as surgical propaganda strikes aimed at the core of liberal India has literally set the cat among the pigeons. After 2014, India has been battered by a systematic and consistent attack against liberal and pluralist values, both of which most people had taken for granted.

Today there appears to be a dominant ideology of homogeneity which attempts to paint India with the same brush and color. For right wing extremists in India, Pakistan is the symbol of everything gone bad because of the imposition of the dominant Muslim religion. That is not untrue since a mullah in Pakistan wields the power to declare jihad and even issue a fatwa. The hostility between hardcore Muslims of Pakistan and hardcore Hindus in India seem to be like a natural instinct given the fact that extremists on both sides had done what they wanted to do during the ugly partition period. If a mullah in Pakistan has the authority to call for a jihad or announce a fatwa, the same is with any pandit or guru in India in seeking for righting the wrong of the past against Muslims. The gau rakshaks, love jihad and terrorism appear to be justification for the horrible inhuman acts in recent months. Justifying such acts as being the trait of any nationalist and also an act of patriotism against those who reject or oppose their ideology cannot be acceptable as much as the free world rejects the ideology of terrorism. There facts that are being distorted for political ideology such as the idea of India through the prism of those who reject the nation’s diversity.

Such ideologues who want to erase Indian history maintain that unity cannot be achieved with diversity. For them unity is one and that suits and justifies their interpretation as one India, one culture and one people. The fact is that Hinduism may be as diverse a religion that the majority follow and whose practises can greatly differ .However political opportunists have been using religion to divide the nation and exploit it for their interests without realising that such actions can be potentially very harmful for the nation when suppressed minorities are forced to feel unwelcome and are alienated.

Urban India especially the Hindi belt has been gripped by fear of the unknown. This happens gives rise to communalism which results from a breakdown of common consciousness based on the idea of plurality and of social integration. ‘Fear of the other’ is something which acts as a catalyst in the process of communal riots. The fear is fed by a clever advertising the sense of insecurity among the communities. Through sustained efforts the fear or suspicion gets successfully injected and becomes almost impossible to get rid of it. Interestingly the man wrenched out of history- Sadar Patel-a hardcore Congressman and whose name is being used to overshadow Nehru, had this to say about RSS: “But don’t forget, so had Hitler’s Nazis and the fascists under Mussolini …it (the RSS) is a communal body with a totalitarian outlook.” It is unfortunate that when India should have marched ahead with confidence as a world leader, today it is being polarised and divided because democracy had allowed it to happen.

DailyDevotion The Trial of Faith If you have faith as a mustard seed…nothing will be impossible for you. —Matthew 17:20 We have the idea that God rewards us for our faith, and it may be so in the initial stages. But we do not earn anything through faith— faith brings us into the right relationship with God and gives Him His opportunity to work. Yet God frequently has to knock the bottom out of your experience as His saint to get you in direct contact with Himself. God wants you to understand that it is a life of faith, not a life of emotional enjoyment of His blessings. The beginning of your life of faith was very narrow and intense, centered around a small amount of experience that had as much emotion as faith in it, and it was full of light and sweetness. Then God withdrew His conscious blessings to teach you to “walk by faith” (2 Corinthians 5:7). And you are worth much more to Him now than you were in your days of conscious delight with your thrilling testimony.

Faith by its very nature must be tested and tried.

And the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God’s character must be proven as trustworthy in our own minds. Faith being worked out into reality must experience times of unbroken isolation. Never confuse the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life, because a great deal of what we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive. Faith, as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him— a faith that says, “I will remain true to God’s character whatever He may do.” The highest and the greatest expression of faith in the whole Bible is— “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15).

Can interlocutor help solve Kashmir?

overnment of India has appointed Dineshwar Sharma, former Intelligence Bureau Chief as interlocutor to find a solution of the Kashmir’s problems. This is not the first time that such an exercise is being conducted.

New Delhi has had interlocutors in the past. Then instead of officials, ministers were appointed so that issue could get urgency as well as an immediate attention. But nothing came out of these exercises.

The Kashmiri leaders wanting more than what New Delhi would offer.

There was no meeting point.

Talks covered the gamut of problems. But two sides were so distant from each other that the dialogue would not go very far. The Kashmiris want the Valley to be converted into sovereign Islamic republic. This is something which India cannot give because it does not think that Kashmir is a disputed territory. It is considered part of Indian union. I have visited Srinagar as an interlocutor many a times but I could not offer anything near what they wanted.

What has disappointed me is that the disappearance of grey area, which was visible till a couple of years ago. The stances have hardened so much so that even social contacts between Muslims and Hindus have got snapped. I am sorry to bring in personal example.

In the past, Yasin Malik would invite me to his house for dinner and conduct me to his house through the labyrinth of lanes.

True, he has turned what is called a ‘separatist’. But I vainly waited for a word from him. I do not believe that he did not know about my presence in Srinagar. The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front he heads has posted his men at the airport to know who comes to the valley from India and elsewhere. Yasin Malik gets the “separatists” feedback.

I had Yasin’s fast unto death broken on the condition that I would personally conduct a probe into human rights violations by the Indian security forces.

He agreed to my supervision instead of the Amnesty International probe and broke the fast. We pro-

duced a report and found a secular and democratic Yasin’s allegations mostly India. No amount of oppocorrect. The report was sition should swerve them quoted widely by Pakistan from their commitment. If to the embarrassment of they change, it means that Indian government. But this their earlier stance was only only makes. a façade.

If the nation fails, for those who believe in Kashmir and many other

parts of India may flounder in the muddy waters of religion.

It is in the interest of Kashmiris not to disturb the status quo until they can have something better. This is possible if the three parties, India, Pakistan and the people in Kashmir, come together for a dialogue.

New Delhi is not prepared for that because Islamabad has gone back on its promise not to allow its territory to be used by terrorists.

This was also agreed upon when Pakistan was under General Musharraf ’s rule. He went to Agra and almost signed an agreement with Prime Minster Atal Behari Vajpayee, until news had leaked, that India’s then Information Minister Sushma Swaraj changed the draft agreement omitting Kashmir from the text.

Since then the two countries have stayed distant.

Mushraff ’s misadventure at Kargil only has aggravated the matter further.

It must be said to the credit of Atal Behari Vajpayee that he took a bus to Lahore. I was sitting behind him when he showed me New Delhi’s telegram which

said that several Hindus had been killed near Jammu. He said he did not know how the country would react about his trip to Lahore but he was determined to pick up the thread with Nawaz Sharif. The rest is history.

The Indus Water Treaty can be replaced with another treaty but the consent of Pakistan is necessary.

When it has not been willing to allow getting electricity from the run of the river it is difficult to imagine that it would agree to the use of rivers in the Indus system even though water from them is pouring into the Arabian Sea without being used for either irrigation or hydroelectric projects.

There is a tendency in Pakistan to link everything with Kashmir, which is a complicated problem and it would take many years to solve. The revision of Indus Water Treaty, which can satisfy both the countries, would add to the peace prospects. Let the treaty be discussed separately. The rest can follow. The only point to be taken into account is how the two countries can span the distance between them.

The broken vessel

ost Nagas began their life’s journey from villages. The serene life of the village goes on with songs and laughter. The chirping of the birds, the children and women fetching water from the common pond, the dogs and chickens running around the house make the scene ever beautiful. Most people love to dwell in the countryside rather than living in the dusty towns and cities. This is so because there is sacredness of life in the village.

Respect for life and belongings of others are highly valued in all Naga villages.

Nagas stood united in many important events prior the independence of India. Such unity brought fears into the mind of the foreigners who planned to intrude upon the territory. Some villages stood their ground against such intrusions. This was the life of the Nagas. But it has become too historical to be practiced by the present generation due to diverse individualistic life which is paralyzing the Naga society. The vessel is breaking down with the passage of time.

The political life of the Nagas can be well structured into two phases; namely, independent and dependent phase. The independent phase saw the life of the Nagas as well organized, lacking none, yet heading for brighter future. People ate and drank what they get from fields and live a happy social life.

They were much independent.

Even without the help and support of the Central Government, they were able to feed their families with the best nutrients of food and good values. Nagas did not buy any values from the Govern-

ment of India.

With the dawn of dependent era, the Nagas (political life) began to borrow and buy the life style of the central Government and thus stuck its head inside. The other parts of the body is scattered in the museum as vintage elements. We depend on the central Government from morning to evening. With the growth of rapid dependency, there emerged some giants who fed themselves from the blood of the Nagas. In the name of improving the life of the Nagas, many leaders became vampires.

They drink from both ends. The Government of Nagaland appear like a ragged beggar in front of the central Government but live like Kings and Queens in Nagaland.

Where do we get what we get is so alike and confusing. When will Nagas remove its head from New Delhi and see the reality of the life of Nagas. The head has the ability to see the North and the South, the East and the West.

The extra zeal to see forward will leave behind thousands of Nagas who are already disabled by the structure of political life.

A brief interaction with people of any sort will make you realize that Nagas are frustrated with the present political structure. Some kind of epidemics has invaded the Nagas. Many social and political activists are searching for some remedies and solutions to this existing disease. The medicine is within Nagaland, yet no one knows where Nagaland is because Nagas has sold themselves off in dismay in many ways.

Students’ manifesto: Make your own history

(From previous issue) When it’s all said and done, what I want you, dear students and youths, to remember is that you are special, you are unique. Remember this always. Students and youths in Nagaland are very gifted and talented, they are second to none.

Yet, you are unable to fully develop and apply your talents because our society is backward and is in such a socio-economic shambles that your potentials are wasted.

You were born and have grown up in a society where even small words of encouragements, such as “you did a good job”, “you can achieve your goals,” “no matter what, you can do the impossible,” “we believe in your talent,” are exceedingly rare; where genuine goodwill and prays are too scarce; where people are always ready to jump on your failures; where people resent you and are jealous simply because you have achieved something small even at schools, colleges, and universities; and where societal conditions prompt you to carry on the old ways of division, suspicion, resentment, jealousy, and toxic antagonism over state resources by masking it under the ill-understood cultural axiom: ‘traditional customs and practices.’

I am sure that there have been times when you might have felt discouraged and disheartened to find students and youths across India and the developed world attaining honors and accomplishing achievements—be they in a technological field, or securing academic scholarships to study abroad, or securing jobs with MNCs, etc. However, remember that given all the resources across India and abroad, it is only

typical to expect such honors and achievements—whatever they may be—from those who have access to it. It is Easy for anyone—given enough interest—having access to world-class resources, facilities, and services to accomplish something. But, it is a whole different issue when you have no resources and facilities, such as in Nagaland.

When students and youths have no access to appropriate facilities, how can they accomplish anything? Yet, the most powerful and beautiful thing is that if you, dear students and youths in Nagaland, can achieve something, even small achievements, despite having no access to suitable facilities and resources, now that is something Admirable, something Great. It is Greater than those achievements made by students and youths in India or anywhere else in the developed world because you have done and achieved something out of nothing. That is Special, that is a Gift. And only you, dear students and youths, have that potential, that special gift to do something impossible; to correct the mistakes of the past generations and to create a society that could have never been imagined by your elders. Go and create your history, your society.

Dear students and youths, it has fallen unto you to preserve our society. You now have the ultimate responsibility to preserve not just the society, but most importantly to preserve the people living within this society. The task that awaits you is indeed herculean, but the reward is that much greater. You were born and brought up in this society that is not of your own making, but the makings of others.

The societal conditions in which

The Framework Agreement: A second political umbrella for Nagaland?

T

o begin with, an umbrella has no roots or legs to stand on its own feet. An umbrella has to be always held by somebody in order to function.

On July 26, 1960, the government of India gave such a political umbrella to some 19 Nagas of the Naga People’s Convention. This was done so that these people could hold India’s political umbrella over the people of Nagaland. The geographical area of the Nagaland state of India that came into existence as a result was a four legged state with one leg hanging in Assam, another in Manipur, another in Arunachal Pradesh and the last leg in Nagaland. As for integration of all these Naga territories under one political umbrella, the issue was kept in abeyance.

Fifty seven years later in 2017if what Khekiyie had disclosed in the paper is based on factual documents of the Framework Reader’s note: Articles

agreement- then it seems that Nagaland is all set to be given a second Indian political umbrella.

This second umbrella this time, will be held by the Apex Naga Hoho (ANH) with statutory powers over all Naga inhabited territories in Nagaland, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. One hopes every reader knows what “Statutory powers” means. Statutory powers means written down laws that has been passed by the Legislature of a country which can even be imposed by the use of force.

Now if such a political umbrella with statutory powers is going to be given to the ANH by the Indian government, then the ANH will become India’s Regent ruler over all Naga citizens in the a fore mentioned four states of India.(For details of the sweeping statutory powers, see Khekiyie’s write up in Nagaland Post, dated October 30, 2017). Here, if we or letters published in any of the

carefully analyze the powers of the Chairman of the ANH, we will discover a “Naga dictator” sitting on top of the ANH with the title of Yaruiwo. If the Framework Agreement with its delegated authority to the ANH is finally imposed on all Naga citizens, then Nagas will ultimately find themselves incarcerated in a prison made by some of its own fellow Nagas.

As opposed to all these possible consequences, the Naga national stand as stated in the memorandum to the Simon Commission of 1929 was a simple “Leave us alone”. This meant; we did not want an Indian or Burmese or even an Assamese or Manipuri or Arunachali umbrella hovering over us with India’s backing. What we ultimately wanted was the open blue skies of liberty and freedom hovering over our lands.

Kaka D. Iralu, Mission Compound, Kohima

you find yourselves are created by generations that placed selfinterests and divisions above the well-being of a society in which we call Home. Don’t fight over wrongdoings you did not commit, against those who weren’t even alive to be offended when you were born. The past animosities, as well as the ancient hatreds and grudges, are not the doing of your generation, nor should your generation add-on to the injuries of the past. Make a new history and hence new relations among people in our society.

Ultimately, have courage, patience, modesty, honesty, understanding, and, most importantly, Love, for the task is not easy, and the road is arduous, filled with insurmountable obstacles, potholes, and alluring temptations (for the present politicians and societal leaders will surely entice you, implicitly or explicitly, with money, political power, status, etc.; so that you may become their newest recruits of minions). Don’t be a passive observer, be an active participant to make history, to make your own path, your own future. Don’t be part of history that is not of your own making.

Create a society that is better than at present. May the Heavens bless you with wisdom and knowledge and guide you in this difficult journey ahead.

Students and youths in Nagaland unite and create your history!

Corruption on installment basis!

Sir,

How fabulous would it be if installment basis were followed for corruption too? The government wants to let the off the scholarship on installment basis. Has the state treasury run out of money or there was a problem with the transaction? If corruption would be done on installment basis in Nagaland, our roads and bridges too would be thick and muscular and that students will be utilizing their scholarship in a needful manner.

Corrupted leaders should know that holding an office is just a phase which will fade away. Thinking only for oneself and in the end retiring with a name fully spitted with hate is a mortifying thing. The students have utmost need for their deserving scholarship which is narrowed by the state government by turning it into an installment basis. It is morally unjust because the students need more than they deserve. But, if these things are also hold back, what satisfying result will a government bring?

Remember, if you try to corrupt the young today, there will be no such things as amnesty for your act of highhandedness. Corruption ceaselessly never seems to stop at this present juncture of time, but amidst all this, may a positive result be bought to fulfill the dire needs of the students.

Govt clears Navy’s Rs 21,738 Society facing danger of more cr project to buy 111 choppers divisiveness, says Manmohan

NEW DELHI, Oct 31 (AGENCIES): The defence ministry has given initial approvals to the Rs 21,738-crore naval project for 111 armed light utility helicopters as well as a Rs 450-crore proposal for nine active towed array sonar systems for frontline warships.

The Nirmala Sitharaman-led defence acquisitions council accorded the “acceptance of necessity (AoN)” for the helicopter project to be executed under the “strategic partnership (SP)” policy+ of the overall “Make in India” thrust.

The new SP policy is basically aimed at boosting the indigenous defence production sector, with Indian private sector companies producing cuttingedge weapon systems in collaboration with global armament majors through joint ventures and technology transfers, as earlier reported by TOI. The defence ministryNavy combine will now issue the formal tender or RFP (request for proposal) to original equipment manufacturers for the light helicopter project, under which the first 16 choppers

will be imported, with the rest 95 being manufactured in India later.

But it will take at least two years for the actual contract to be inked for the twin-engine helicopters, which the Navy desperately needs to replace its ageing fleet of single-engine Chetak helicopters.

As reported by TOI on Tuesday+ , at least half-adozen mega Make in India defence projects, collectively worth over Rs 3.5 lakh crore, are currently stuck at different stages without the final contracts being inked.

One of them is the joint venture between India and Russia to manufacture around 200 light helicopters for the Army and IAF, at a cost of around Rs 6,500 crore, for which an intergovernmental agreement was inked in December 2015.

The naval choppers, which will also be armed for anti-submarine warfare, are different from the Army or IAF light choppers since they need wheeled landing gears, sea optimization, foldable blades and smaller dimensions to ensure they can fit into warship hangars.

NEW DELHI, OCT 31 (IANS): Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday remembered former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her 33rd death anniversary, saying the message of her life and work needed to be remembered today “at a time when our society is facing a danger of deepening divisiveness”.

“It was Indira Gandhi’s firm belief, that without social harmony and understanding of each other’s among India’s diverse

people, it was not possible for our country to grow and prosper,” said Singh at the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration, which was conferred upon Carnatic music vocalist T.M. Krishna.

“As we pay homage to her, this message of her life and work needs to be thoroughly remembered today, at a time when our society is facing a danger of deepening divisiveness. Today on Gandhiji’s martyrdom day, we as a people and country, need to reaffirm

these values,” he added.

Singh said: “True patriotism demands that we follow the path shown by India Gandhi and work for social and regional cohesion even as we celebrate our diversity.”

Congratulating T. M Krishna, Singh said: “He is an extraordinary gifted musician. He is a celebrated vocalist in the Carnatic tradition of Indian music, who has been enthralling music lovers ever since he gave his first concert at the tender age of 12 years.”

‘Aadhaar a threat to national security’ New Delhi, OCT 31 (AGENCIES): BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday opposed a move to make Aadhaar compulsory, saying it would be a threat to national security and be struck down by the Supreme Court. Swamy said in a tweet he would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue. “I am writing a letter soon to PM detailing how compulsory Aadhaar is a threat to our national security. SC will I am sure strike it down,” he tweeted.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.

His Twitter post came a day after the Supreme Court said its Constitution Bench would start hearing a clutch of petitions challenging the Centre’s move to make the Aadhaar card — which

carries a 12-digit unique identity number — mandatory for those wishing to avail themselves of services and benefits of government welfare schemes from the last week of November.

Modi flags off ‘Run for Unity’ on Sardar Patel’s birth anniversary

scheduled for November 28 by the NLA speaker.

Interacting with media persons, Yitachu said the hearing was useless because the case was related to the petition for disqualification filed by chief minister on August 4 over July 19 assembly session, which failed to transact any business.

Instead, he said the speaker must take up the petition filed against July 21 session where voting took place. Yitachu reiterated the allegation that the objective of the speaker was only to delay the matter and allow the “unconstitutional government to continue.”

According to exporters, they had to pay 12 per cent integrated goods and services tax (IGST) to export juice to India, compared to 6.18 per cent in the pre-GST regime. They said the Indian market now has become 5.82 per cent costlier for juice exporters post GST implementation.

Likewise, export of large cardamom plunged by 45.3 per cent, fruits (85.9 per cent), vegetables (39 per cent), noodles (34 per cent) and jute goods (2.3 per cent) in the first two months of this fiscal as compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal.

Kathmandu, Oct 31 (IANS): Nepal exports to India has been adversely affected after the Indian government enforced the Goods and Services Tax (GST) this year, a media report said.

The GST is an indirect tax introduced in India on July 1 to make it one unified common market. It is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the consumer. Export of major export items to India which were enjoying zero duty or nominal tariff earlier dropped significantly, according to a Nepal Rastra Bank report.

Export of juice, jute products, vegetables and fruits, processed food like biscuits and noodles and cardamom, among others, plunged heavily, the Hima-

New Delhi, OCT 31 (Agencies): In order to cut short the running time of over 500 long distance trains by up to two hours, the Indian Railways has introduced a new timetable, which would be effective from November 1, 2017.

The “innovative timetabling” has been introduced under the direction of Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.

The running time of popular trains will reduce by 15 minutes to two hours from Wednesday. Trains such as the Bhopal-Jodhpur Express will reach 95 minutes early while the Guwahati-Indore Special will complete its 2,330-km journey 115 minutes early and the 1929-km journey of the GhazipurBandra Terminus Express will be completed 95 minutes earlier. The national transporter has also reduced the halt time of trains at stations.

Similarly, trains will not stop at stations where footfall is less. Coupled with track and infrastructure upgrade, automatic signalling and the new Linke-Hofmann-Busch coaches that allow a 130 kmph top speed, trains are expected to run faster.

MUMBAI, Oct 31 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : I n d i a n banks, both public and private, are set to bring their digital payment solutions under the umbrella of Bhim or the Bharat Interface for Money, in a move that could boost widespread adoption of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). Banks will now display Bhim as a prefix to their own UPI applications in a bid to erase confusion among users.

In turn, this will help promote UPI as the single means of payment for smartphone-based small value retail transactions, according to bankers who see this as a branding exercise similar to how merchants display payment options for credit and debit card users. “The UPI front end of the bank apps will be changed to include the name Bhim, though this will be a nomenclature change. Eventually everything will become part of the larger Bhim family,” said one bankers directly aware of the development.

“This should help clear all forms of confusion among merchants ac cepting UPI and consumers using UPI for payments.” Bankers in the know told ET that since BHIM has become

Sacked Catalan leader ‘not seeking asylum’

Catalonia’s sacked President Carles Puigdemont addressing a press conference in Brussels.

B ru ssels, O c t 3 1 (AGENCIES): Catalonia’s sacked President Carles Puigdemont says he has not travelled to Belgium to seek asylum.

He has appeared in public in Brussels with several colleagues after declaring independence from Spain last week.

Spain’s central government has taken direct control of Catalonia and sacked officials, following the region’s banned independence referendum.

Puigdemont said he was not trying to escape justice but wanted to be able to speak freely.

He was speaking at a press conference as Spain’s constitutional court suspended the declaration of

independence made by the Catalan leader on Friday.

Puigdemont also said he would accept the result of snap Catalonia elections on 21 December, which were called by Spain’s central government after it invoked Article 155 of the constitution, temporarily suspending the region’s autonomy.

The move will see as many as 150 of the region’s top officials replaced.

“I want a clear commitment from the state. Will the state respect the results that could give separatist forces a majority?” Puigdemont asked reporters.

The Spanish government has previously said he was welcome to take part in the fresh polls.

The ousted Catalan

leader did not clarify how long he would stay in Belgium, but said he would return once he was given “guarantees” by the Spanish government.

He said moves by the Spanish chief prosecutor to charge him and a number of other cabinet members with offences that carry up to 30 years in prison showed the extent of the central authorities’ aggression.

Puigdemont: The man who wants to break up Spain Earlier comments from a lawyer hired by Puigdemont in Brussels had fuelled speculation that he was investigating asylum processes there.

When asked on Flemish public radio whether he was seeking asylum, Paul Bekaert said: “We’re keeping all options open - nothing has been decided.”

Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis has expressed scepticism about an asylum bid.

“It would be surprising if he were granted asylum in the current circumstances,” he told Spanish radio.

He emphasised that Puigdemont had yet to be charged and was therefore still “free to move around”.

9 Thailand revokes passports Men still killing 200 killed in tunnel collapse women for of exiled former PM Yingluck ‘honour’ after N Korea nuclear test in Pak ex-premier’s family out of TOKYO, Oct 31 (AGEN- the ground had been lifted

Yingluck Shinawatra

BANGKOK, Oct 31 (AGENCIES): Thailand has revoked the passports of ousted premier Yingluck Shinawatra, who has yet to be seen in public since she slipped out of the country before the verdict in her negligence trial, officials said Tuesday.

The former prime minister, whose elected government was toppled in a 2014 coup, has not been seen or heard from since she stunned the kingdom by failing to turn up for the Supreme Court verdict in late August.

She was later sentenced to five years in prison in absentia for failing to stop graft in a government rice policy- a case lambasted by her supporters as part of a broader junta effort to drive the

politics.

“All of Yingluck’s passports have been revoked now,” foreign minister Don Pramudwinai told reporters Tuesday.

Yingluck had four Thai passports, two personal and two diplomatic, according to authorities.

Yi n g l u c k ’s e l d e r brother Thaksin, who was ousted as prime minister in a 2006 coup, has been living in self-exile for years to avoid a graft conviction.

He has a home in Dubai and junta chief Prayut Chan-O-Cha said in late September that Yingluck was also in the emirate.

While her current whereabouts remain unconfirmed, there are widespread reports the former premier is seeking asylum in Britain.

“I don’t know (where she is),” Prayut told reporters Tuesday.

“What’s important is that the country she’s residing must confirm her location with us,” he added.

The move comes after the expiry of a deadline for Yingluck to appeal against the verdict, making her return to Thailand highly unlikely.

ISLAMABAD, Oct 31 (AGENCIES): A year since new laws came into force aimed at stemming the flow of “honour killings”, scores of young women in deeply conservative Pakistan are still being murdered by relatives for bringing shame on their family.

The shocking murder of Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch by her brother last July turned the spotlight on an epidemic of so-called honour killings and sparked a fresh push to close loopholes allowing the killers to walk free.

Long-awaited legislation was finally passed three months later in a move cautiously hailed by women’s rights activists.

But, more than a year on, lawyers and activists say honour killings are still occurring at an alarming pace. At least 280 such murders were recorded by the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan from October 2016 to June of this year — a figure believed to be underestimated and incomplete. “There has been no change,” Benazir Jatoi, a lawyer who works for the independent Aurat Foundation, a women’s rights watchdog, said.

CIES): More than 200 people are feared to have died when a tunnel caved in at North Korea’s nuclear test site after its latest detonation, a Japanese news report said on Tuesday.

A tunnel collapsed at Punggye-ri in early September, days after North Korea conducted its sixth and largest underground nuclear test on September 3, TV Asahi said, quoting unnamed North Korean sources.

Some 100 workers were involved in an initial collapse. Another cave-in occurred during rescue operations, leaving at least 200 people feared dead in total, the Japanese broadcaster said. The accident was triggered by the test, TV Asahi added.

Experts have warned that the underground tests could cause the mountain to collapse and leak radiation into the atmosphere near China’s border.

The latest test — the sixth at the site since 2006 — triggered landslides in the detonation area and beyond, according to satellite pictures taken the day after.

The images published by the 38 North website showed changes in the surface at Punggye-ri where

into the air by the tremors.

Small landslides followed the course of stream beds.

The blast caused a 6.3magnitude earthquake, according to the US Geological Survey, followed a few minutes later by another with a magnitude of 4.1.

Japan assessed the yield from the test of what the North said was a hydrogen bomb at 120 kilotons, eight times the size of Hiroshima in 1945.

It is very unusual for North Korea to acknowledge any major accident, especially anything that involves its nuclear programme.

Lee Eugene, a spokeswoman at South Korea’s unification ministry, said: “We are aware of the report but do not know anything about it.”

The report came ahead of US President Donald Trump’s first presidential visit to South Korea next week amid an escalating war of words between him and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. The reclusive country has made significant strides in its atomic and missile technology under Kim, who took power after the death of his father and longtime ruler Kim Jong-Il in 2011.

c o py o f a r a r e Beatles album once owned by John Lennon, complete with hand-drawn sketches, is expected to go under the hammer for more than $200,000 next month.

The early edition of ‘Yesterday and Today’ features an infamous photo of the Fab Four dressed as butchers, and remains one of the only copies in existence after record executives ordered the destruction of albums featuring the contentious photograph.

Lennon’s personal copy was among the rare survivors, and he gave it to Beatles collector Dave Morrell in 1972 in return for memorabilia and bootleg material.

The album sleeve even features a personal message from the late Beatles icon, along with personal drawings.

The message states ‘To Dave, from John Lennon’, alongside a date of December 7 1971.

Now, it’s going under the hammer and experts believe that it could go for upwards of $200,000 (£151,000).

Gary Shrum, the director of music memorabilia at Heritage Auctions, told the Daily Mail: ‘The

term world class is probably a bit over-used in describing collectibles, however, labeling this unique, rare, and desirable Beatles item as world class is not hyperbole.

‘This piece is rare because one it’s the butcher cover that was withdrawn and never sold on the market after the second day. It’s John Lennon’s personal copy, it’s a prototype that had a blank back, which John did artwork on the back of.

‘Plus it’s a stereo copy which was the rarest of the butcher covers, because only a few stereo copies got out when they were for sale.

‘So this is a brilliant piece for any Beatles collector or Rock and Roll collector that likes to collect the history of music.’

the cross-bar. Seconds later, Celso Borges scored the first of his two goals on the night to bring Deportivo level in the 36th minute.

Conceding broke the morale of Las Palmas and Depor moved in for the kill in the second half. Borges scored again in the 54th minute and Lucas Perez converted from the spot with 20 minutes left to make the final score 3-1.

The loss leaves Las Palmas in 18th place, with just six points from 10 matches.

Hendrick strikes late as Burnley beat Newcastle

Jeff Hendrick celebrates after breaking the deadlock at Turf Moor in the 74th minute on Monday night.

B U R N L E Y, O c t 3 1 (Agencies): Bur nley moved up to seventh in the Premier League after a 74th minute strike from Irish midfielder Jeff Hendrick gave them a 1-0 win over Newcastle United at Turf Moor on Monday.

Their fourth win of the campaign moves Burnley level on 16 points with Liverpool while promoted Newcastle slip to ninth but it was a game which most neutrals will quickly forget.

Neither side were able to find their rhythm and for a large part of the game a goalless draw looked the

most likely outcome.

Burnley began brightly with Jack Cork and Steven Defour controlling the centre of midfield as the Clarets enjoyed plenty of early possession. But Newcastle gradually grew into the game and fired an early warning shot in the 17th minute when Jonjo Shelvey warmed the hands of Burnley keeper Nick Pope after being set up

by Christian Atsu.

There was little to excite the crowd in the opening 45 minutes but right after the interval Spaniard Ayoze Perez went close for Newcastle with a curling ef-

fort from the left that Pope did well to push around the post.

Burnley responded by taking a firm grip on proceedings in midfield with Cork influential with his incisive passing and vision, although too often lone striker Ashley Barnes was either isolated or not given effective service.

Cork was the creator when Burnley finally broke the deadlock. The former Swansea City midfielder’s low shot was parried by keeper Rob Elliot and Johann Berg Gudmundsson pounced on the loose ball, swinging a low cross to the back post where Hendrick controlled the ball and converted.

The Magpies went close to an equaliser when Spanish forward Joselu screwed a shot just wide of Pope’s right-hand post and manager Rafa Benitez threw on Dwight Gayle as an extra striker.

The home side’s Barnes then nearly got some reward for his hard work with a low effort which Elliot had to tip wide. But there was a late scare in added time for Burnley when Newcastle twice went close, with a shot

by Isaac Hayden saved by Nick Pope and then a Javier Manquillo header from a Shelvey cross that flashed just over the bar.

sports Delhi HC sets aside election of Patel as AIFF president

Praful Patel

NEW DELHI, Oct 31 (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Tuesday set aside the election of Praful Patel, who was last year elected as the president of All India Football Federation (AIFF) for a four-year term, his third successive tenure.

The court set aside the elections saying they were held without following the National Sports Code.

It also directed that fresh elections be conducted within a period of five months. A bench of justice S Ravindra Bhat and Najmi Waziri also appointed former chief election commissioner (CEC) S Y Quraishi as an administrator to look into the functioning of the AIFF. The court’s order came on a plea by advocate Rahul Mehra contending that the elections of the federation were held contrary to the National Sports Code.

Patel, former civil aviation minister, was elected for the post in December last year along with the Executive Committee for the term 2017-2020 after the high court had vacated a stay on elections.

Among other Indians in fray here, Deepak Kumar won a bronze medal in the 10m air rifle event.

N e w D elh i , O c t 31 (IANS): After a brilliant performance in the One-Day Internationals (ODIs), India will aim for a maiden win against the New Zealand when they take on the visitors in the first Twenty20 International (T20I) match here on Wednesday.

The three-match T20I series will also witness some promising players taking the field and veteran pacer Ashish Nehra signing off with the first match at his home ground.

Seeing the recent performances, many cricket pundits may have put their money on the Indian team, but World No.1 New Zealand could also turn the tables with their cent percent record against the hosts.

The two teams faced off twice in New Zealand, twice in India and once in South Africa and New Zealand won all the five matches.

There are several

match winning players in the New Zealand squad.

Apart from skipper Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls have the ability to change the game at any time.

Experienced batsman Ross Taylor was also recalled to the New Zealand set-up in place of injured legs-pinner Todd Astle, which will give a boost to their batting department.

The bowlers have also shown their class in the ODI series. Experienced pacer Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Colin de Grandhomme will be the key in the shortest format.

Spinners Ish Sodhi, Adam Milne could add much more to their bowling line-up on the slow Ferozshah Kotla pitch here if they bowl on the right areas. India, on the other hand, have ticked many boxes in the ODI series.

But they would like to improve the performance in

both the departments.

Yo u n g s t e r s l i k e Shreyas Iyer, Lokesh Rahul and pacer Mohammed Siraj would want to make their their mark and other batsmen like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik would like to continue their momentum in order to register

their maiden T20I win.

In the bowling department, Ashish Nehra will play a crucial role in the first match if Virat Kohli include him in the squad.

Nehra would be supported by Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who played brilliantly in the recently concluded series.

Spinners - Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal - will also play an important role in the spin friendly wicket.

So, with the records favouring the visitors, it will be interesting to see if India could to change their fortunes this time around or not.
